I mean, I am fully behind how suspicious this looks, but also… fuck me, getting help as a whistleblower or anyone involved in major accidents due to lax safety standards in the maximisation of profits is a horrible process. It’s no wonder that people wash out, drop out, or end themselves. (in general, not in this particular case)
I mean if nothing else you live with guilt as you constantly ask yourself whether you could have done more or sooner to prevent a few hundred people being dead, you are blacklisted from the industry, and you get sued by the company so now you have to defend yourself in court despite not having a job. No wonder people end up depressed. Reminds me of that pilot who ditched a plane. Yeah they made mistaked, but OTOH the pilot himself once in the actual accident also displayed heroic efforts in saving people’s lives. Still, he never flew again. Haunts you I imagine. And it’s not like stricter standards and better safety margins wouldn’t have trivially avoided their crash long before the pilots had any input.

Click here to see the summaryRussia’s most significant opposition leader for the past decade, Alexei Navalny, has died in prison inside the Arctic Circle, the prison service said. Seen as President Vladimir Putin’s most vociferous critic, Navalny was serving a 19-year jail term for offences widely considered politically motivated. He was moved to an Arctic penal colony, considered one of the toughest jails, late last year. The prison service in the Yamalo-Nenets district said he had “felt unwell” after a walk on Friday. Navalny’s lawyer Leonid Solovyov told Russian media he would not be commenting yet. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly. — Saved 42% of original text.
They are very fierce at censoring their IP material, anything that lands on youtube that hasn’t been altered to avoid copyright bot, gets taken down immediately. even shows that have aired the same day.
That’s really sad if true. Mods feelings should be separate from the community rules they are volunteering to enforce.
I’m the kind of guy who plays devil’s advocate but unfortunately I feel like I could get moderated or banned for even this commemnt (although I have not broken any rules)
If you would check my screenshot you would also see that your post was reinstated and then removed again, this time with the proper explanation. You violated Rule 7.
That wasn’t clear until I saw your screenshot. Do you think it’s ok to show my moderation history publicly like this btw? I don’t personally care, but someone might get butthurt over this.
Last Tuesday, a noisy crowd of several hundred people stood in the small main square of Pyin Oo Lwin, a popular Myanmar hill town, to hear a bespectacled monk make a startling suggestion.
The man who led the 2021 coup against the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi, provoking a catastrophic civil war, has faced plenty of international censure, and is loathed by much of Myanmar’s population.
Following violent clashes between local Buddhists and Muslim Rohingyas in Rakhine State in 2012, one militant monk, Wirathu, helped set up a movement known as Ma Ba Tha, or the Association for Protection of Race and Religion.
One prominent blogger recently called Min Aung Hlaing “incompetent”, saying that under him the country had experienced loss and shame of historic proportions, for which he should pay the price and step down.
The bloody two-year stalemate, between the well-equipped armed forces and the hundreds of volunteer groups which had risen up and joined the ethnic insurgents to fight the junta, appeared to have been broken.
Unable to secure the roads from ambush, the military is relying on its limited number of helicopters to re-supply surrounded bases, and on air strikes to defend them, causing extensive civilian casualties.

Unfortunately, always a risk in naval operations. I have a relative who used to do search-and-rescue with the Coast Guard, and the stories he tells about just how difficult it is to find a human being once they're in the drink is... harrowing.
My mind immediately goes to the idea that they’d have had some sort of high speed search and rescue nearby along with transponders and whatnot, which goes to show just how much more complicated it must be than movies and shit have made us believe.
I just want a little GPS thing with a balloon string. Once you get your head above water, pull the ripcord and a little radio just screams a pulse in the radio waves.
They gear these guys up with all the throwing knives but not a floatable transponder???
Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, who was appointed last July, came under fire for a book he wrote and published in the late 1990s entitled Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality.
The Pope had already tackled the vice of gluttony last week and there was no suggestion that his sermon on lust during Wednesday’s general audience was related to criticism of the cardinal.
In December, Cardinal Fernández introduced a text, later approved by Pope Francis, detailing guidelines allowing priests to bless same-sex couples relationships that were still considered sinful.
In a lengthy response posted online, Cardinal Müller said that a priest blessing a homosexual union would be committing a “sacrilegious and blasphemous act”.
Prelates around the world also released statements condemning the decision, including American conservatives, who have long been vocal in opposing the Pope’s plans for reforming the Catholic Church.
Tensions reached a nadir when the Pope evicted outspoken critic US Cardinal Raymond Burke from his Vatican apartment and revoked his salary.
