To be fair, it’s not like Nick Fuentes was a known entity before this and as if anyone could take 5 seconds to look into his history and see that it would be a bad idea to reinstate his account /s.

Nick always struck me as the kind of weaselly little douche who would have a foppish like scream of indignation when you belted him across the chops.

Sorry to be that pedantic asshole, but the S-3 had General Electric TF-34 engines. Not Pratt & Whitneys (I used to work there at one time). That does not change the fundamental validity of your post.

Thats a really naive way of looking at safety. Blame the victim. Safety systems should always assume we’re distracted and inattentive because we ALL have moments like this and NOBODY deserves to die because of it.

If we leave it at ‘it was the victim’s fault, case closed’ then nothing improves and someone else WILL…

During my stint in the Navy I was a technician for an aircraft called affectionately “The Hoover” (a S3 Viking) it had two very large Pratt and Whitney engines attached to it that had the same safe distance.

Way too many nerds (i.e. more than 10, we’ll go with that) have become way too comfortable with being the cringiest, greasiest, most odious pillow-fuckers imaginable.

You forgot to mention the Twitter Space that Hotz hosted yesterday, where Musk naively called for a “total rewrite” of the whole twitter stack, and then received well deserved pushback from an actual engineer:

I wouldn’t worry if I was that kid, Elon is going through lawyers quicker than Trump right now. He’s had to pull legal staff from Tesla and SpaceX just to keep the birdsite running. He’s on a major downward spiral right now, which is Ironic since Trent Reznor has already made what he thinks of Elon abundantly clear.

This. If he actually follows through, (which he won’t cause his lawyers will surely tell him this), it will be thrown out immediately. All Sweeney is doing is posting public information that he’s not even generating, he’s getting it from other sources. If Elon wants to change the whole system and make private air…

This is settled law. The caselaw is on the side of the tracker. Now I’m just waiting for a state to ban the tracking of private jets.

“site users would be responsible for determining a note’s quality, not Twitter itself.”

Ah yes nothing can go wrong with this, Mr Boaty McBoatface.

To all the greys insisting that her *other* career is how she should be identified:

I think thats what all that rehab right after the surgery is for.  Too much bed rest is bad for the back and also leaves you susceptible to clots and other cardiovascular issues.

Explain to me how a multi-billionaire who made his wealth largely via government contracts and actively influences government through bribes (sorry “campaign donations”) is not an oligarch.

He can't 

One anonymous defense official told CNN that Musk was just trying to look like a hero and have others pay the real price in Ukraine.

I’m happy Tesla stock is down 45%, and I hope it goes to zero.  I used to like Musk, but I really just want him powerless and able to be ignored now.  

Elon Musk is the biggest Welfare Queen in the history of America.

He’s scrambling to find money to pay for twitter.

First of all, Salty is right.
