Is that what they’re saying. If they’re claiming that then it’s incompetence, which I’d love for that yacht, a crew captained by incompetence. (Spoiler: it’s not)
There are certain frequencies you broadcast for help on, those channels are always open. They heard the distress calls, life or death you help. Negligence plain and simple.
It had been at least 5 years since I bought myself a Snickers bar, I bought one about 2 months ago and I laughed my ass off at the shrinkflation size than that I remember, on the one hand you got Mars Inc. upping the price $.75c and shrinking it to whatever. On the OTHER hand, you actually got a reasonable portion to prevent over consuming empty calories/sugar.
Lose lose win win. Balance in the force.
They weren’t on standby when the aboriginal reservations were burning in northwestern Ontario. They had to self evacuate, no help from provincial or federal govt.
But now that white communities are at risk they’re notifying CF to be on standby. Still to this day, assimilation by conflagration.
I expect better of my government.
People who believe in there ever being “contact” do not comprehend the size and nature of the universe.
Rule one, it’s expanding, rule 2, faster than light.
We’ll never achieve relativistic speed, our physiology doesn’t allow “generational ships”, a fetuses brain will never develop to intelligence in freefall. Centrifugal force is not gravity.
The belief in alien intelligence is simply going to be an exercise for theocracy and philosophy, never to manifest in our reality.
Maybe as the universe evolves new physics emerge allowing for new technology, the universe was once in fact so hot physics didn’t work as we identify with it but contact within humanities existence probably won’t happen. Nice to think about though, it’s in our nature for community due to our emotional intelligence, sometimes lack thereof providing contrast.
I have discontinued many subscription based services due to all the price hiking and/or changing features I originally paid for.
Reading headlines like this always reassures me I’ve made the right choice. I used to pay for Amazon Prime (and the other sub channels that had content I enjoyed), Netflix, Spotify, Crave+Sportsnet. All of it replaced by YouTube Premium which I do get most of my money out of with its features including ad free music.
It’s been a couple years since I closed all my premium subscriptions and every so often I’ll get an email asking me to rejoin for 5.99 for 3 months and regular pricing thereafter (or similar price points), which only tells me the price hiking isn’t at all vital, it’s having your credit card information. It’s simple greed.
God forbid a man enjoy a succulent Chinese doll.
Probably for the same reason people ignore a beggar in the street.
“yes, I do, if you can tell me how fast you think I was going I’ll happily corroborate whether your information is correct or not”.
Only if you knew you weren’t speeding and/or have a dashcam that records your speed.
I wonder if you will find real people, real connections if you create a profile that contradicts what you are looking for.
You want an outdoorsy, travelling, generally adventurous personality to travel the world with. If you ask for that, they’re going to match you with introverted hermits.
Ask for hermit homebodies. You’ll find your Ellie.
Consider the chance that they built an algorithm that matches you with failures to keep you coming back to the platform.
Reddit thinks they’re an exclusivity club nowadays. Love that mentality for them, just a platform full of bots, misinformation purposed for political polarization.
They wouldn’t even let me delete my account last week, “errors occured” so I just uninstalled. Good riddance.
