Hey elon. I think colonies on mars are a GREAT idea. In fact. I think yall should go have the honor of being the first humans to step on mars. You and like 100 of your finest billionaires. You deserve it!
every comment or post that I see yelling about sympathy, empathy, and reminding us that those people are humans with lives and families only makes me wish they’re dead even harder. matter of fact, I hope they all suffer as much as possible and then go to hell and suffer even more. there
The amount of people focused on the CEO’s comment about how he only wanted to hire young people bc “fifty year old white guys” who were sub experts weren’t “inspirational”
Like.
Y'all.
That is 100% media bullshit. He didn’t care about inspiration. Sub experts cost money, would have told him in great detail all the ways this is a horrible idea and either would have caused him to put more money into this thing or sparked controversy/lack of faith when it got out that a SUB COMPANY fired a SUB EXPERT. At least one employee WAS fired for sharing safety concerns. This isn’t about being “woke” or whatever it’s about cutting costs and avoiding being told no.
dear surviving billionaires: if you don’t want people to make fun of your death you have the option of giving away all that money you hoarded. hope this helps.
I do have on thing to say about the fact that “one of the passengers is a 19 year old” for the Titan.
A 19 year old is still a “teenager” but that is a whole ass adult. That is an adult who has been an adult for a year and acting like he has no self agency to not make the choices he did is just ridiculous and I’m seeing *way* to many people on this site pretty much just infantalize him. 18 is *also* an adult. A new adult, but still an *adult*. If you are seriously in the mindset of “but that’s a child still!” You need to step away from Tumblr and just think about how you view the various human stages of development.
19 year olds aren’t kids. That man made that choice to go down there.
(also as a trans man who’s rights are under attack and that people are using the argument of “kids can’t consent” to get their foot in the door and then further take them away from literal adults, some under the argument of “well a lot of y'all are autistic and Don’t Really Understand what’s happening even though you’re adults!!” This shit infuriates me. Stop infantilizing people!!! This may not be about my rights as a trans person but the issue of infantilizing literal adults is still the same!!!)
Just came across someone talking abt the lost submersible on another site and all the comments were just so fully sincere about ‘i hope everyone is okay’ ‘god has a plan for us all even if it ends in death 😢🩷’ ‘nobody deserves a fate like that’ and it was a bit of a culture shock bc.
Even if people on here seem kinda split between ‘lmao i hope they die in the rich asshole boat’ and ‘i do hope they’re alright bc i wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy’ we do at least seem to be in agreement that like.
if you get on a makeshift ‘submersible’ that doesn’t meet any safety regulations and sign a waiver that mentions death three times and spend a quarter milion to go disturb the gravesite of thousands of people then that A) means you’re probably an asshole and B) that is a TERRIBLE plan and you do thb kinda deserve to die a little bc COME ON going through with it after all the warning signs is BEGGING for a darwin award at that point
