The way you have written this, it feels like trying to defeat the boss in a video game.

Maybe the just disappear like in witness protection and this dude didn't want to leave his son alone? It's too far fetched though. Given all the questionable things Oceangate did, independent verification of the implosion sound waves and finding the actual debris, it is extremely improbable it was staged.

Public freakout was more agitation but even then it was like people can be so stupid or it was genuine content about people being treated unfairly that was creating some awareness.

For me the genuine agitation things were the ragebait stuff like 5 minutes hacks/crafts and posting blatantly wrong or reprehensible takes to generate negative engagement like a lot of content on AITA.

The problem there is that if you want to compute the behaviour of say 2 electrons, you need a huge computer with avagadro number of particles. Now imagine the number of particles you need to simulate the numbers of particles in the universe we observe. That number is mind bogglingly big. If we had the that much stuff lying around, it would interact with things and we could observe the consequences of these interactions.

You assume they understand genetics and evolution.

This seems to be the least crazy of all the ones here so far. Plausible but very improbable.

Really? To me, it's unfair to characterize mildlyinfuriating as an agitation community that spreads negativity. I enjoy browsing there because it's a place to bond over shared frustration and humor.

That makes a little more sense but it's mind boggling to me as an outsider that that there richest country in the world with multi million or even billion dollar planes and ships cannot pay to keep volunteer firefighters.

Do you get paid when you run calls?

Sounds like you're a great person for doing something for your community despite having no compensation :)

That sounds sad honestly. It looks like you can survive somehow until you can leave but I wonder how it will be for people below poverty line. It also makes me wonder how you can elect so many people who don't care about their own community or people. Around here I've heard the excuse that people are uneducated (basic reading and writing) and therefore easily tricked or swayed but I don't think that's true in America.

Nice pun 🤣 It's pretty much the same in India. Firefighters are well paid with benefits etc. like army or teachers.

That doesn't make sense to me though because fireman/policemen have special training and equipment that an average person does not. What is their justification for this?

Is it that the government doesn't want to pay them to firefight? Or some other reason?

I'm speechless. This feels like Idiocracy but in real life. What the fuck. It's not even like the taxes in US are particularly low.

It's insane to me as a non-American that a) one of the most critical jobs employ lots of people without paying them and b) that person has no responsibility to actually do that critical job.

What if surgeons decided they don't want to operate on someone because they just don't feel like it or like the person? Society is usually built on trust the in an emergency you can count on others.

Honestly it feels really scrummy that people who do firefighting might not be paid.

Isn't there a reasonable obligation to try and save people if you can do so without harming yourself, even more so with police and firefighters? I guess this makes sense in the context of Uvadale.

You did the right thing.

I feel like the firefighters who refused to help with the fire or go to the heart attack victim's house should be criminally prosecuted at the least and should definitely lose their jobs.

But isn't using wanker as as insult sex negative?! /s

P. S. I've always wanted to say 'You bloody wanker' after seeing British television as a child but haven't had a chance so far.

I'm going to at least go to a track nearby and watch people do this and maybe talk to them and see if anything clicks for me.

For some reason YouTube is far better on Firefox for me than on Chrome.
