    That submarine imploding near the Titanic will never be not funny. Especially since the guy who designed it believed in the “move fast and break things” nonsense.

    Every person on board paid a pretty penny to be on that sub, so no pity from me either (except perhaps for the teenager who was reportedly terrified to go on, but did it to please his rich prick father).

          Subhuman?

          Really? You are invoking Nazi expressions, and expect to be winning?

            Well for me humans need to have morality, compassion, they need to care for others, the bourgeoisie don’t do that, so they aren’t humans for me

              So you are failing your own morality test, and handwaving it away.

              How convenient.

              I thought history was quite clear, time and time again, it has been shown that once you declare a group of persons as “subhuman” bad shit start happening.

                How can you opress and exploit BILLIONS of workers and not want bad shit to happen to you?

                    You’ve decided that there’s something about these people that makes them less than human. That they’re “other” in some meaningful way, which means you assume some fundamental difference between you and them that allows them to commit evil, and that means you can or do not.

                    But that’s Harry Potter innate morality bullshit, dehumanizing people is pretty fucking evil.

      I’ve seen some interesting YT videos about the engineering behind the sub. Turns out, that sub was a ticking time bomb, and many people had warned about it. The controller thing was perfectly fine, but the walls were not.

        Their crack detector thing actually detected a problem on the previous trip… Just nobody checked it…

      Moving fast and breaking things can be a great R&D philosophy…when health and safety aren’t a concern or have been addressed.

        And to add on that R&D thing. It’s supposed to be move fast and break things to learn what things are not working good enought so you can deliver a finished not-breaking-stuff-thing.

      The photo of the shitty Logitech controller will never not make me laugh… Anyone who has ever handled a controller before knows those things are absolute garbage lol
