Based on current trends, probably close to zero new bridge collapses in US too by end of April

The Saddest Rhino posted:That movement completely destroyed ethan van sciver 's career because he wanted to be the irl mascot and also led to zack snyder going on stream thanking a bunch of poo poo heads for their donations but he would never support them and their cause, peace bye, which lol Van Sciver had already destroyed his career pre-Comicsgate, though. Dude had already been fired and/or blacklisted from from every major comics publisher because he was a racist Nazi shithead who fought with all of his co-workers all the time. Gail Simome flat out said "I used to walk by Ethan's desk every day and he always had a sketchbook full of drawings of Hitler prominently placed out for everyone to see. He claimed it was reference work for Sinestro, but we all knew the truth and just had to put up with it." So he turned to grifting chuds because he had nowhere else to go, and now he's published one comic in, how long's it been now, five years? With no sign of volume 2 on the horizon. But lol yeah, Snyder going on the Geeks and Gamers stream and going "thanks for the donation to my charity, but I don't endorse bigots" and all of them looking like they were about to start crying after getting called out to their faces was amazing.

Internet Old One posted:I'm entertaining this because it seems like after a little scrutiny this is often proving true of... depressingly everything but. The classic article is Sally Marks' "The Myths of Reparations". I encountered the argument first in Peukert's The Weimar Republic, where I think a fair summary is that the treaty was a problem, but not a crippling or insurmountable one. Its primary impact was political rather than economic. Germans across the political spectrum thought it unjust and so it encouraged catastrophe politics (e.g. make the German economy so bad that Germany could justify not paying it), which in turn fed into right-wing support and destabilization. Richard J. Evans gives a similar summary in The Coming of the Third Reich, if memory serves. I skimmed through the Oxford Handbook of the Weimar Republic while writing this and the chapter on the economy (19) seems to take a more negative view of Versailles than I was expecting, so maybe the historiography is changing, but even its negative view seems to be bad, but not catastrophic (albeit I only skimmed it).

crispix posted:he just has at best the most superficial understanding of a thing and other times he seems to make poo poo up in his head and assume no one will notice he is talking nonsense even today, there are lots of people who don't really pay attention to online stuff closely and who still generally think of him as a "smart business person" just in terms of general reputation and the mere fact that he is the owner of a large company, and there are sadly also lots of people who will assume that if a "smart business person" or really just anyone with the title of CEO is saying something that sounds like nonsense its actually their fault and they just aren't on the level to understand it, but it must be important. he is one of many people who has skated very far because of that tendency also during my time in corporate settings ive also definitely noticed many unspoken "i won't call out your egregious bullshit if you don't call out mine" agreements between various management types which helps that mentality to prosper. elons brand of bullshiting is not particularly unique, just more well known and public because he's a shitposter and wants to be famous. but he's a pretty typical type of executive who has absolutely no idea how his business works and got their purely by connections and wealth, with a constant need to justify their authority by spewing industry-focused word salad. i think the cybertruck is the thing that is finally turning around that perception of him in the world at large, its just so garishly comically bad of a fuckup Earwicker fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Mar 30, 2024 |

lol that Elon thinks that just fishing the steel out of the brackish (I assume, is that a tidal basin?) water and hammering it into shape would function adequately to carry traffic over a span that wide. Dude is Dunning Krueger personified

Dude is Dunning Krueger personified He's also the patron saint of the type of guy (and it's invariably a guy) who adopts the mantle of insta-expert on anything happening in current affairs. When the pandemic hit they suddenly became epidemiologists. When the war in Ukraine started they became master strategists and logisticians. When the OceanGate disaster unfolded they were on X pontificating on submersible design and deep ocean sonography. They weigh in to Boeing's issues as if they're aeronautical engineers and business magnates and now they're online holding forth about Baltimore as if they're master mariners who just requalified as structural engineers. It's like Dunning-Kruger combined with terminal mansplaining and STEMbrain. And Elon's led from the front since the days of the Thai cave rescue.

I liked when he just looked at a bolt pattern and “knew” it could be changed to make it more efficient or whatever. Like who needs strength calculations or simulations or testing or anything like that the god king savant thought it should be this way! (This is exactly how he gutted twitter’s infrastructure too)

Powershift posted:Someone shocked that Elon didn't suggest they tunnel under the bay. I mean we already have two separate tunnels going under. The problem is, you can't transport hazmat material through either tunnel (which is what the bridge was primarily there for). Don't worry though, I'm sure once someone slowly explains this to Elon he'll say that we should build the tunnel out of the same materials used to make airplane black boxes or something.
