I admittedly haven’t watched most of his stuff since before he really hit it big, but that was 10+ years ago at this point, so I’ll gladly defer if his recent offerings have been subpar.

That being said, I never went to him for in-depth technical knowledge. He often just had review samples a lot earlier than smaller…

Admittedly, I haven’t watched him in years (pre-Covid), and even before that, I usually watched other reviews. His earlier stuff was better, but that’s 10+ years ago at this point. 

Marques isn’t bad, per se, but he’s one of the few really early Youtubers who is still actively doing his thing, so he’s built up a lot of goodwill and a massive fan/viewerbase in the intervening years.

That being said, he got his start and still makes most of his money reviewing tech hardware. So, while cars have…

Maybe not Boeing themselves for reasons all of the above, but a stakeholder with a major stake in the company?

You’re right.

On a different article about this case, I said to someone that Barnett was at the cross-section of potentially three major causes of suicide: non-stress related health issues, stress, and financial trouble.

It’s been reported that he retired from Boeing due to health issues, and he was a 62 year old man.…

Certainly weirder shit has happened, and that can’t be entirely discounted.

However, people are doing things in reverse, and instead are discounting the most likely explanations first and charging headlong into the most outlandish explanations. Not only that, but their reasoning is spurrious beyond belief, not to…

Those “receipts”, if they were in the form of actual documentation, would have to be turned over during the discovery process, so Boeing would’ve known about them for years. If they were just his ruminations, Boeing would’ve deposed him prior to trial (which they were actively doing), and would’ve cross-examined him du…

Yes, he worked on the 787, which was the plane in question. That in and of itself isn’t evidence of malfeasance, wrongdoing, or some specialized knowledge that only Barnett himself could know.

I reiterate my point. Given how the legal system works (namely discovery), if Barnett had truly damaging potential evidence or…

A fucking huge-arse aerospace company and defence contractor who’s trying to stem their haemorrhaging stock price after a series of high-profile screw-ups? Hmmm...

I was stunned she beat Viola Davis, but the Oscars went through a stretch (maybe a reaction to superhero movies and other franchises) where it seemed to go out of the way reward the movies seen by the absolute fewest people.

Haha, I was also going to go the route of denoting the exact characters, but you did a bang up job.

Granted, I don’t think that 2016 was an upset for Stone over Portman, and I do think that Frances deserved beating Streep and Robbie in 2017 (Three Billboards was fantastic).

I will continue to say that Nomadland was not…

I’d argue since two of their main factories are still in Washington (Everett and Renton), and those factories produce every other plane except the 787, the appellation is appropriate. 

The only reasons Boeing would do it are that they felt what he was still going to say would be absolutely 100% guaranteed to ruin them, or that they are just incredibly stupid.

Exactly.

Boeing was facing their greatest amount of heat back in 2019 when he initially spoke out, and he was only 2 years removed from his position at the company (even though he likely had no direct dealings with the 737 MAX airframe).

The reality is that Boeing’s heat is mostly due to failures of the 737 MAX. This…

No? Just wanna jump onto the internet and argue and fight for arguings sake because Lily didn’t win? Obviously yes.

My apologies for the misread. Hard to tell through text (and websites like these).

There are two different things at play.

1. A fundamental legal criticism to the reading and interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.
2. A logistical understanding of how to implement it in regards to what has occurred in the last 230+ years of the US being a nation.

I personally think that the 2nd Amendment, as written, is…

I think the writers of the Constitution never really considered that the American people would vote enough for a corrupt authoritarian-aspiring clown to get him/her into office. Rather shortsighted on their part, especially considering their “solution” of an Electoral College.

True, but people seem to be ignoring some very important facts

This guy was already known to Boeing as far back as 2019, which was the aftermath of the two crashes due to the faulty MCAS system. Those are/were much more serious by every stretch of the imagination than this most recent door being blown out (due to…
