Blackout , to nottheonion in Pilot who ‘tried to shut off engines mid-flight was high on magic mushrooms’
@Blackout@kbin.social avatar

The last time I was on mushrooms I stumbled into a temple I could only describe as doomy and watched a guy rip a heart out of another guy's chest! It was wild. Then when it was my turn the guy kept asking what I wanted to order. I said "I'll order anything, just let me keep my heart" and he responded "Do you want fries with that?" True story, it was later made into a Hollywood blockbuster called Demolition Man and the rest is history.

The 'ol “high on magic mushrooms” defense. … Hope he doesn’t plan on representing himself, too.

Thank goodness it was drugs because now we don't have to talk about the state of healthcare in this country

AngryCommieKender ,

It was sleep deprivation. He took the shrooms over 48 hours previously, he may have had some sleep after the shrooms, but then stayed awake for 40 hours, and was on his way to fly another shift.

I would argue that sleep deprivation falls under a health issue

prole ,

Also glad it wasn’t guns, so conservatives don’t have to pretend for five minutes that they give a shit about the state of (mental) health care in this country.

As it turns out, Alaska Airlines made a mistake in hiring AFC Richmond's bus driver as a pilot.

Now imagine if it had been Coach Beard 😏

Beard would know how to handle his shrooms

Charged with 83 counts of attempted murder. Holy crap! How was the cockpit unlocked so this guy delirious in a bad trip could even gain access?

He knew the secret handshake

MC_Lovecraft ,

He was an off-duty pilot catching a ride in the jump seat behind the pilots in the cabin, which is completely normal. The guy being a fucking lunatic is where things went wrong.

AngryCommieKender , (edited )

He was running on over 40 hours with no sleep. The shrooms were out of his system, since he had taken those over 48 hours previously. The lack of sleep caused him to have a disassociative episode. The airlines caused this, with their policies and corporate culture, and are desperately trying to absolve themselves of responsibility so they can keep overworking and underpaying their employees.

It’s called deadheading, it’s common.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadheading_(employee)

TrickDacy ,

Interesting coincidence that grateful dead fans are called deadheads, and consume a lot of mushrooms

m_randall , (edited )

Deadheading means you’re in the back of the plane. He was jumpseating, most likely commuting.

Cheradenine ,

It doesn’t. The term probably originated with railcrews.

m_randall ,

This isn’t a railroad car. Deadheading on aircraft mean the company is getting you from one place to another. You’re on the clock, on duty, and generally must be provided a seat in the back.

Jumpseating (usually for commuting) is when you travel on your own time, own dime, typically done before or after a trip. You may be provided a seat in the back, but if there are none you may be granted access to sit in the cockpit jumpseat. You are on duty when jumpseating and considered part of the crew.

Upon reading the title, I thought that’s military, but civilian airline. Holy shit!

atk007 , to world in Russia spread bedbug panic in France, intelligence services suspect

There is an actual bedbug epidemic in Paris right now. Let’s not give credit to Russia for spreading facts.

BraveSirZaphod ,
@BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social avatar

These aren't mutually exclusive. It can both be true, and Russia could have intentionally boosted the story on social media in order to cause greater general distress.

jonne ,

Yeah, Russia boosts every story that makes anyone they don’t like look bad. Every country does that in one way or another.

Imhotep ,

You did not read the article

@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

Not really. Sure there’s bedbugs, but there’s no evidence that there are more bedbugs now than there were say a year ago that I’m aware of. If you start looking for the little fuckers you’re going to find them of course, but that goes for just about every city.

lud , to world in Russia spread bedbug panic in France, intelligence services suspect

The most interesting thing is that dogs are fucking amazing at finding everything by sniffing.

If you knew just a little about bedbugs you’d know getting them has nothing to do with hygiene.

Fades , to world in Russia spread bedbug panic in France, intelligence services suspect

Russia is all about causing as much chaos as possible to take the heat off their backs, just like all the Russian agents in the US gov rn

geekworking , to world in Russia spread bedbug panic in France, intelligence services suspect

Pouring gas on every spark of unrest is too easy nowadays. People believe any random social media post as truth and reject professional news.

The cost and resources to troll social media is next to nothing. You don’t need to be a nation state.

I am sure that every country or group who wants to see unrest in western countries is in on this.

sic_semper_tyrannis , to world in Russia spread bedbug panic in France, intelligence services suspect

Another ridiculous theory is that Trump spread bedbugs to France to interfere in their elections.

FUCKRedditMods ,

I mean russia could just be testing their online psyops. It’s already terrifying what they did with our 2016 election. Maybe the bedbugs thing is just a trial run before their next big campaign. It’s always disquieting to consider what havoc this kind of manipulation could wreak globally.

someguy3 , to world in Russia spread bedbug panic in France, intelligence services suspect

I wonder if they have an idea to spread bedbugs. Would that count as biological warfare?

downpunxx , to world in Open source intelligence suggests rocket was launched by Palestinian group, backing up Israel's claims
@downpunxx@kbin.social avatar

Palestinians lie, and the world blames Jews, then the world targets Jews, and when the truth finally comes out, no one apologizes, the hurt and blood cannot be rescinded, because "The Jews deserved it anyway"

SexualPolytope ,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

To be fair, no one’s blaming “the Jews”. We’re blaming Israel, which is a very different thing.

downpunxx ,
@downpunxx@kbin.social avatar

Which is why worldwide Jewish population making up .2% is targeted literally everywhere around the world every time Israel defends itself against Hamas. You keep saying this lie, every time it happens, and yet, targeting worldwide Jewry continues to happen every time Israel defends itself. And all the upvoters are like "yeah, we just got a problem with Israel not Jews" and the Jews keeps saying "why are you stabbing us in the street and targeting synagogues when Israel defends itself.

And some asshole like you will say the same thing next time, and so it goes, the eternal cycle. Jews say this is antisemitic, it's jew bating, it's threatening, it's deadly, and the world says actually it's not.

SexualPolytope ,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

War crimes are not “defending itself”. There are literally Jews against Israel at this point. Wtf are you talking about? Israel is literally killing people, there’s no way you’re shifting this into the age old Jew hate debate. Hate crimes are happening, but it’s mostly Israel who’s doing them.

shadysus ,

More than that, the focus is on a Leader and administration that is opposed by the majority of Israeli people

SexualPolytope ,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yes, Israel doesn’t necessarily mean all Israelis. It’s the government that’s fucked up.

hh93 ,

within 24h hours after that explosion at the hospital in Berlin there were reported cases of people spraying stars of david on jew’s houses and an incident with a molotov being thrown at a synagogue.

The line between Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism is VERY thin for a lot of people…

Eldritch ,

Israel lies. Hamas lies. No one apologizes for the Israeli lies either. You know what Palestinians don’t do… Run an apartheid state. Or turn Israel into an open air prison. Israel is the one here with the power to change the situation. Why don’t they?

It’s definitely tragic the attacks that happened. And our hearts go out to all of those families. Why didn’t any Israelis think about that over the years for the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed in their governments genocidal apartheid?

Guydht ,

Israel is with the power to change the situation? Oh really? What could Israel could possibly do do have peace in the region? Besides going “okay we’re leaving bye have tel aviv and jerusalem” nothing could be done to stop the palestinian aggression. Nothing, and they proved that time and time again. Israel has nothing to do in the situation except prevent more attacks on it.

Eldritch ,

Eject Netanyahu and allies from the government. They’re partially responsible for hamas. Open up Palestine, focus a concerted effort on improving their material conditions and future prospects. People who believe they have equity in a system they perceive as fair and just. Typically don’t seek to destroy it or those they associate with it. Stop bulldozing their homes and stealing their land. Doesn’t matter who started it. It still doesn’t justify what the Israeli government has done.

Israel has everything to do with the situation. A blind hyperpartisan apologist like yourself just could never admit that.

Guydht ,

Oh and what do you think would happen the second they open up Palestine? Would they get hugs and kisses or knives and mass raping? Let’s look at 7/10 as an example of what happens when Israelis don’t supervise entry to their country by Palestinians.

And as much as I hate it, Israel is a jewish state. Meaning it’ll never take in so many muslims endangering that jewish majority status - which is horrible. But on the other hand, neither would Palestinians agree to be part of Israel. Do you really think they’ll agree to just enter the state and live alongside existing Israelies? If so, then you live reaaaaaaly far away from that region to know anything about it. A nice resource is “the ask project” on youtube, just watch a couple of videos and see who Israel is facing against. They want nothing to do with Israel. They want their annihilation or exile.

Start looking at other media sites besides al jazira and see what’s really the problem there. Don’t believe neither side wants this war to happen, because noone does. It’s just that both sides are too stubborn (arguably Palestinians more) to do things for their own good.

Eldritch ,

Neither. That’s a strawman.

Let’s look at 7/10 as an example of what happens when Israelis don’t supervise entry to their country by Palestinians.

That’s a pointless thing to look at as long as you don’t address the underlying inequality and segregation Israel is imposing. Israel is only adding a second problem to address with the first problem that they created. Without doing away with both of them either one in isolation will not be adequate.

But on the other hand, neither would Palestinians agree to be part of Israel.

What’s your source for this? The fact that they won’t allow Palestinians to be part of Israel does not mean that Palestinians wouldn’t want to be. The problem is Israel won’t let them in the first place. If they even did the bare minimum of taking and screening families permitting them to leave Gaza and integrating them into society. This would be a whole different situation. The fact that they locked them down treating them like animals. Then act surprised when they get the retaliation they were looking for in return. Really seems disingenuous.

Start looking at other media sites besides al jazira

Oh cool another straw man. Do you actually have anything of value to say? Or are you just going to continue to try to debate dishonestly?

Guydht ,

First, how is that a strawman? You said Israel should open up Palestine, I wrote why Israel shouldn’t. Either you’re speaking unknown terms I don’t understand or you don’t know what strawman argument means.

Secondly, I again advice you to look at more views of this conflict. “The ask project” is a good one asking Israelies and Palestinians questions about hotly debated topics. There you’ll find your answer as to what’ll happen when Israel opens Palestine. Palestinians don’t want to be part of Israel, they want Israel destroyed. You listening to left media is good and keeps you updated under one side of the conflict, but doesn’t reflect the will of the people living there and what happens practically.

The inequality and segregation by Israel is supposing Palestinians want to be integrated into Israel and don’t be allowed to. But the truth is that amongst peaceful Palestinians there are plenty of Iran and ISIS backed people who want to destroy the western world - and Israel to them seems like the frontline. So no, Israel should not stop their segregation, because that’s the only thing keeping them alive to this day.
