cell phone doesn’t like water because it is a combination of the other three elements. it is a rock (earth) that we fill with lightning (fire) that can control radio waves (air). if it contained water too, it would be too perfect; it would be like a god. to prevent this, the universe kills the would be uniter-of-the-elements. it’s basic science.
Hey op google what LCD stands for

I feel compelled to share one of my favorite bits from the Martian
While every force available in the world is searching for the 5 people in the oceangate submersible, a boat filled with mostly Syrian and Pakistani refugees sank under still “unknown” circumstances off the coast of Peloponnisos, Greece (with the coast guard present). More than 600 people drowned but guess which of the two is making headlines
Aw man, Joe Rogan must’ve Gassed up Eboi so much he thinks he can actually fight, can’t wait to see how this plays out
It’s comforting to imagine that somewhere out there exists the “real” timeline, of which our lived reality is just a terrible work of alternate history fiction.
The thing that gets to me the most about OceanGate (and there’s many), but… the fact that it’s the fucking Titanic. Like, this could’ve been just a generic failure. This could’ve been about allowing people with more money than sense to go explore the sea floor, see coral reefs from a new perspective, view icebergs from below, whatever.
But no. It’s specifically the Titanic. The ship declared to be unsinkable. The ship whose builders refused to bring enough lifeboats, because it would compromise their aesthetics, and make their rich customers uncomfortable to see them. Which famously sank on its maiden voyage.
And here comes the OceanGate CEO and without a hint of irony, has gone on record saying shit like this:
You know, there’s a limit. You know, at some point, safety just is pure
waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed. Don’t
get in your car. Don’t do anything. At some point, you’re going to take
some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do
this just as safely by breaking the rules
And just… if you were writing a story to explore the hubris of rich people, how much more on the nose than that could you get?
the passengers on oceangate are dead (they imploded) and they confirmed the debris was from the submersible but the shit that has me fucking losing it is that the logitech controller made it out almost unscathed
