Why doesn’t he just do it now?

I was under the impression that if you’ve been president, you have the power to do shit like declassify documents with your mind even after leaving office.

So maybe he should just charge them with treason in his mind, it’s the same thing.

Yeah, I can definitely see how my comment could be interpreted that way.

Lol, I probably should have initially added that context.

Anyway, apologies for the misunderstanding!

Whoa.

There was no shaming involved (at least not intentionally). People can wear whatever they want. I’m the last person to complain about people’s choice of clothing.

It was an (amusing to me) observation, mostly because I found it ironic that she’s on the side that praises “modesty” and then doesn’t, as usual, practice what nonsense she preaches.

Also, I thought it was really funny how many times she had to keep pulling the top up to keep everything in there.

That’s all my comment was. A throwaway observation about something I thought was funny.

Puritanical shaming? Man, sorry if it came across that way.

Edit: Oh, was it the “good lord” bit? I just use that term for comic effect a lot of the time. I forget it’s something people say unironically with regard to their beliefs. I see now how that could have been misinterpreted.

I’m used to the term just being random exclamation a lot like how “Jesus Christ” or “OMG” or whatever are used these days. Apologies.

Good lord, that dress can barely keep her breasts contained.

Edit: I should clarify that I meant this as an amusing observation (irony and all, with all their hollow talk of “modesty”) and not because I give a shit what people wear.

Also, was funny watching her constantly pulling the top up to keep from having a wardrobe malfunction.

Quelle surprise!

Lol, at first I thought this meant Riot Games. I think most players of League or Valorant are too busy throwing slurs at each other to leave the house and protest anyway.

And blaming video games again?

This is France. A nation that barely go a decade without a major protest.

I’m now imagining Louis XVI weakly flailing his hands about, complaining that the Jacobins were driven to their cause because of all the violence they were exposed to while hosting LAN parties.

Maybe the real disagreements between Robespierre and Danton later on were regarding which machine was best, the Station de Jeu or the Fboîte. Some stragglers saying neither and it was something called “Ordinateur”.

(Apologies for my poor translations, French friends. Apologies also for making light of the situation. I know it’s serious. I hope you’re all safe.)

It’s kind of funny, but also really fucking sad when these people scream about Biden being a far left communist who wants to destroy America with radical socialism or whatever.

I don’t know how many actually believe it sincerely. Well, a lot do, but I think there’s also an element of just shouting buzzwords without knowing what they mean. Parroting, really.

Like, dude… Please come to where I live and see that our centre-right party has identical policies to the Democrats. Overton Window is extremely fucked in America right now.

Yo, did something happen here or is my connection all messed up?

It looks like a bunch of comments disappeared from this thread, and even one I made is missing from my comment history.

Thanks for that! I’ll check it out.

Appreciate the knowledge on the various materials. I probably misinterpreted the carbon fiber thing from the video.

And looking at the inside of the sub after I posted that comment, I also noticed how much material surrounds that carbon fiber (I don’t know if that’s the composite or some kind of insulation).

Semi-related, they also had the monitors screwed into that on the inside, which I’m guessing would be very bad if it reached the carbon fiber interior?

Let me also point out that carbon fiber composite doesn’t yield, it just fails catastrophically

I actually have a question about this because I saw someone on YouTube speaking about this two days before the debris was discovered (the channel is Sub Brief, and they were going through all the things wrong with the vessel and how it likely imploded).

With metal/steel/other alloys (forgive me, I’m not familiar with the engineering, hence my question), when they implode, it’s straight up crushed, right? Like force on a tin can.

In the video I mentioned, the guy was saying that carbon fiber doesn’t crack; it’s like porcelain (I think he said, or another fragile material) and it just shatters completely.

So I’ve been curious about something. The implosion that this submersible suffered, what would it have looked like?

If the hull just shattered under pressure, would the implosion be more like hundreds of thousands of shattered pieces ripping apart everyone rather than “crush” them in the “traditional” sense (and they’d be immediately crushed anyway by the water pressure regardless)?

Or would the implosion still present itself more or less the same as it would with a steel(?) hull?

It feels almost worse if they were, for lack of a better term, shredded. I know that it would still be instantaneous, but it feels like… I don’t know, much more visceral.
