This is why I don't care about being called a misogynist or racist anymore for refusing to go anywhere near a transport oriented business that does diversity quotas. You're basically walking into a death trap no matter what you pick, trains? Check, constantly getting derailed even without the suspicious glowie activity, Jets? Check, pilots suddenly collapsing for no apparent reason that the media can explain and the staff are all being replaced by diversity hires. Boats? Don't you remember some of the absolute disasters we had with giant ferries and cargo ships? Yeah, that's going to cost millions even if everyone escapes with their lives.
I won't say it RL too loudly obviously but this is partly the reason why I'm perfectly happy sitting at my house doing vegetable gardening than going anywhere fucking near the trips my family has planned. No thanks, maybe once or twice if things calm down but that might be for escaping the UK more than anything.
That seems so clown world, as a guy I don't think I've ever thought that X thing is inspirational because it is done by a young guy.
Honestly, that is something I would expect from a woman.
And who started this nonsense about younger people not being able to be inspired by older people?
Zoomers. The "OK Boomer" meme was an early manifestation.
Kids are being trained to resent their elders. It's part of the globohomo commie faggots plan to have their own queer version of Mao's Great Leap Forward by weaponizing children through education.
Sorry but the frankly justifiable resentment for boomers was already there even before glomohomo showed up, they just capitalised on it extremely successfully.
I'm sure the "justifiable" reasons were totally organic how you came to them in the past and not part of the same training being done, just in a different decade.
Boomers enabled the current state of things because it benefited them, don't pretend otherwise, they are not 'victims' and they are not all certainly friends of the younger generation, if anything they tend to be insufferably arrogant and entitled.
Boomers are basically adult children themselves, just manifested less severely than millennials. They grew up in a Swiss watch economy designed to be the best in the world and just assumed that things would keep going fine no matter how much waste and malevolence happened under their watch.
A lot of them still think like that. I'm amazed every time a conservative boomer says Trump lost the last election or that he's "on Twitter too much." And these are the same people that love to tell younger people that they "don't know how the world works."
Ah yes, the boomers lecturing about social media use while constantly on their phones more than teenagers are LOL. That shit pisses me the fuck off, I have family members who go on their phones and tablets while having a conversation and you can tell they're not paying attention and I openly tell them off for it and I'm 33 for fuck's sake.
For the record people will take my boomer hate to make it out that I hate all boomers, I actually don't. I'm genuinely appreciative of boomers and generation x'ers who are inquisitive and ask me things about the world and what young people go through. It's the fuckers who think they know everything and think they can lecture people while being absolutely broken human beings themselves that get me.
Way too many of the latter than the former these days. Possibly the nicest responses I get online is when I have older women asking me about shit and they've posted they hope I get a girlfriend finally which is really nice and wholesome of them. Most of what even the generation x'ers know about dating and economics is hopelessly out of date and they have no idea how truly bad things are.
Hell, I mean I qualify as a millennial/generation Y and grew up in the 90's, rant about education a lot. However even I feel fucking sorry for the teenagers and what they have go through with education. Not only do they have to deal with incompetent teachers, they have to deal with teachers who want to bully them about LGBT virtue signalling and then on top of that they have to deal with 'schoolmates' being shit heads to them over social media. So when you go to school and then come back home that shit is not going to stop if they have it in for you.
Very good, you've believed something you were told that made sense after you were told it and assimilated it into your framework for why things are like they are, and are now reacting defensively to the notion that you were taught that idea for a reason instead of being super smart.
Something being true, partially or fully, doesn't discount that it was knowledge given to you for a purpose.
Every single one of the 65 million boomers currently alive are responsible for the current state of the world, not the small cabal of power brokers whose successors believe the exact same shut.
This just reads like a #NotAllBoomers and people know that's not what I'm being like, I'm pointing out that there are justifiable reasons to not respect your elders. They want my respect, they have to earn it. I for instance really like Ron Paul and he's a massive boomer, but that's because he's clearly an open minded person and he's also somebody who perhaps unknowingly ended up teaching me a shit ton about economics. When Bitcoin came along as well, he even tried earnestly learning about it. Rather than doing what most boomers did where they pretended to know everything and dismissed anybody who tried to explain things to them in the most arrogant fashion possible which people still try to do today.
As a result I kind of represent the old guard of Libertarians and I'm a free market economics guy. I watched him battling it out with the likes of Ben Benarnke ( Bet most of you won't even know who that is without looking him up ) and other twats on CNBC back when I was half-red pilled on how the world really works and that was when I was around 15 - 16. When you know as much about economics as I do it's easy to understand why the younger generations hate on boomers.
Boomers do nothing to earn the respect of young people, they demand it and then get angry when they get told to fuck off. That's not how things work, if more boomers behaved like people you would want to emulate then relations between the generations wouldn't nearly be as bad. I mean the absolute classic for me are the right wingers, they sit there being total simps worse than male feminists and preach about family life and marriage. Then they almost inevitably end up having some kind of drama in their personal life.
I've seen Count Dankula setting up a more stable and wholesome family life for himself and that guy shitposts about inflation porn and LARPed as a fake judge which the left actually fell for.
if anything they tend to be insufferably arrogant and entitled.
Baby boomers were called the "Me Generation" decades ago. As a cohort, Boomers have always been this way. So it doesn't surprise me in the least that they're still selfish now that they're old farts.
You know, I think it’s partly about not wanting to pay for expertise/experience…
As in, this guy was cost-cutting everywhere he could, so it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the real reason he wanted 25-year-olds instead of experienced ex-Navy techs and the like…
Which, in turn, was code for "we're too cheap to pay the going price for a highly qualified 50 year old. We'll go to the dollar store and get a cheap pilot."
As someone who read a lot of Robert D Ballard books regarding his explorations and whatnot as a kid(and all the risk involved), just seeing this clusterfuck makes my balls retreat into my torso.
Anyone whom would willingly get into that coffin deserves what they got.
In my experience when they don't want to hire experienced knowledgeable engineers because they will push back and tell them why their ideas are unsafe or stupid. Younger engineers will happily follow along when it's someone else's decision.
This isn't the first time this kind of thing has lead to deaths. Remember that university where the footbridge failed and killed several people on, and under, it shortly after it was constructed?
Diversity hire engineer for the University.
The rest of it was people cutting corners and embezzling funds.
Fundamentally, the DIE hires are also just an embezzlement scheme.
This company did not run enough weapons grade idiots through the system to find the problems that "very intelligent, motivated, younger individuals" (see mid twenties midwits) obviously missed.
If they find the sub they should take it back up, remove the 4 other men and then send this dingus back to his watery grave.

Just don't do it guys.
They'll bring back airships at this rate.
That seems so clown world, as a guy I don't think I've ever thought that X thing is inspirational because it is done by a young guy.
Honestly, that is something I would expect from a woman.
So in a sense he's right. Men don't give a shit. Just get the job done. But that doesn't help them signal virtue.
What's funny is that he hired 95% white guys. The other 5% are white women.

Struggle sessions.
You know, I think it’s partly about not wanting to pay for expertise/experience…
As in, this guy was cost-cutting everywhere he could, so it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the real reason he wanted 25-year-olds instead of experienced ex-Navy techs and the like…
They're apparently saying they got less than 20 hours before they all suffercate and die in there...
I feel like this is an ad for 'racism' and why more workplaces require it.
Well, hopefully they are making sure there is enough diversity on the rescue team too. That's the important thing.
The more white and male the workplace is the better the work environment in my experience.
Can attest.
Which, in turn, was code for "we're too cheap to pay the going price for a highly qualified 50 year old. We'll go to the dollar store and get a cheap pilot."
Same way the thing was constructed, apparently.
My point exactly. This ^^ is the real reason, I’m sure…
As someone who read a lot of Robert D Ballard books regarding his explorations and whatnot as a kid(and all the risk involved), just seeing this clusterfuck makes my balls retreat into my torso.
Anyone whom would willingly get into that coffin deserves what they got.
I don't think anyone actually qualified to pilot that death trap would be willing to at any price.
For anybody that didn't see this story yesterday -

MUST READ!!
Did you forget that it's not a toy, and there are 5 lives at stake whenever you fill that thing and put it at the bottom of the ocean?
Being inspirational doesn't mean young and inexperienced.
But I guess accidentally murdering 5 people is inspirational.
In my experience when they don't want to hire experienced knowledgeable engineers because they will push back and tell them why their ideas are unsafe or stupid. Younger engineers will happily follow along when it's someone else's decision.

The rest of it was people cutting corners and embezzling funds.
Fundamentally, the DIE hires are also just an embezzlement scheme.
Five men and a woman died. Guess who got a statue.
Fuck, we really give theimp too hard a time.
He deserves it. It doesn't make me unsympathetic, though.
This happened with a new, all-glass atrium build at a University in Australia, too (Curtin University in Perth), in 2021…
“Only” killed one construction worker, and injured several others, though, but the same principle applies…
This company did not run enough weapons grade idiots through the system to find the problems that "very intelligent, motivated, younger individuals" (see mid twenties midwits) obviously missed.
DIEversity strikes again.
"We wanted our 'water coffins' to kill as many white people as possible, thus we hired exclusively muslims and blacks to build them for us."
I see you chose the progressive door...
Show them what they won!!!!!
Shouldn't it read "which was operating the missing Titanic tourist submarine"?
thank you for your application. We see you have excellent credentials however we decided to go with Miguel.
Rest in piss
song title: last thing you will hear baby, but atleast you were not racist

I was waiting for this to be mentioned/crop up, haha!
Yes, what a disaster…
But fits with everything else that makes it clear what an absolute fucking moron this guy is/was, tbh…
Near... far.... wherever you aaaaaaare...
