  • In case you are wondering, the reason why the ATC made the planes perform a go-around is likely not to avoid mid-air collision, but because it is very dangerous to attempt a landing after a helicopter left or landed due to wake turbulence. Essentially, the rotor rotation of the helicopter creates an invisible disturbance in the air that lingers for quite a while and can cause the trailing plane to bank uncontrollably. IIRC the FAA standard calls for 2 minutes to pass to allow the wake turbulence to dissipate.

    Here is a video that demonstrates what can happen:

  • Got banned from r/politics. In some post about Musk's sales tanking, I posted that he knew what's gonna happen but supported Trump anyway so he can live out his hatred towards those he considers inferior. I finished with "May he suffer and wince" and apparently that is "threatening violence against an individual" lmao

  • Yeah, that stems from the original sense of the word. The story goes a bit like this:

    In Genesis 19, Sodom is visited by 2 angels and they were pressured by the men of Sodom to have sex with them. This lead to the interpretation of homosexual activities being an original sin, but there are accounts in the bible that it was not meant that way. Mainly Ezekiel 16:49 which reads

    Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

    So, the sexual advances were likely meant to serve as an example of decadence rather than a stipulation that homosexual activities are sins. But it was simply easier to hate on a marginalized group rather than undergoing the onerous task of actually becoming a better human being.

  • It means raped or sexually abused nowadays. The biblical term of sodomy encompasses all forms of sexual behavior that would go against the word of the Lord and would thus be immoral, even consensual homosexual activities, but nobody uses it like that anymore.

  • That is a problem the Zionists introduced tho. By labeling every small criticism against their oppressive and genocidal agenda as "antisemitism", it blurred the lines and the idiot conspiracy theorists on Twitter get roped into the same crowd as someone asking Israel to stop their genocide.

  • There is an "unlicensed" car repair shop in my town. They always service upper-price class, new-looking cars with license plates from far away. Never actually seen anyone working on them, but the suit wearers that collect the cars always seem happy. Not fishy at all, no need to investigate.

  • Interesting, for complex tasks that require thought, the most efficient grouping tends to involve groups with diverse backgrounds and a work culture that values disagreement

    Not surprising. Complex tasks involve learning and learning requires some form of information exchange. People of different background pooled together have a much larger spectrum of different information so each one can act as a piece of the puzzle to fulfill the complex task. The disagreement, I imagine, largely comes from having to break your own routine which is irritating.

    which is basically the opposite of what’s going on in American government right now, lol.

    Also not surprising lol

  • I heard that first in American History X when Danny said: "I hate anyone that isn't white Protestant."

    Why are idiots so good at finding completely unimportant things to hate on when they could instead hate rapists or murderers?
