I actually think it's way more like 4chan than reddit.

Niche threads are small handful of people every time, people feel pretty safe to get nasty really quick, and wild mix of people thinking it's their safe space full of people that agree with them entirely from anarchists to fascists.
Also likely to see a random porn or furry post.

The polluting the waters they go bit is one of my only concerns to push back against. Depends on the ship but they shouldn't be actively polluting the water and when they do it is a mistake or the annoyance of lack of laws letting someone be lazy.

Food waste is sterilized and neutralized to be be able to either dump into the ocean if it can or be disposed of later. All trash is sorted and recycled or burned for fuel with scrubbers removing heavy pollutants from the smoke stack.

Quite a few ships actually get unprocessed gas as the processing generates the lubricant they need for the engines and allows for less chemical release at the site of the processing. And is offloaded once spent to chemical handling companies.

They even purify their own water before dumping it using algae and enzymes before uv sterilizing it.

They just mess shit up in ways that are also hard to explain, such as oasis class ships were so large that then traveling to Venice had an issue where the vibrations of the motors were shaking the foundation of the city and causing parts to collapse. Their wake churns algae from water oxygenation and so much more. But they are more or less just a city on the water with all the ups and downs of a regular one with more classism.

The stabilization tech in the newer ships is just astounding even if it's ridiculous. Massive air jets blowing a constant stream of bubbles beneath the ship inorder to lower friction and increase buoyancy is just so neat plus the extending azipods for tight turn radiuses tighter than older smaller ships... Just insane engineering.

If you would like to know what it would take to rock one though I do in fact know. The waves were 9.1m or 30feet high and wind speed at 125mph. Ship listed about 14° at the maximum which was enough to bend door frames in the interior ship, however the ship is actually rated to survive a list of over 45° or waves of 50feet in height.
Anthem of the seas 2016.

Also the pools are drained and no one is allowed in during those kinds of events as rocking water can actually cause people to be ejected from the pool and send them flying over the deck.

Actually the rule is that if they were fully just over water they would be ok to not wear a harness but due to there being a platform beneath their working area OSHA would require harnesses with connections made to ceiling or a guide line installed for working at those heights. This is also true if you are between 2 boats for work as they are still seen as more dangerous.

But open water in a boom lift? Yeah, no harness needed.

Mostly just because they aren't wearing a harness that attaches to designated connection points on the ceiling because they are working over a platform instead of directly water.

Then why do we bother with links? This could just be discord then with a chat board of telling others what to think

Glad to see Lemmings continue the tradition of Reddit and don't read the article, just the headline.

Lots of advertising for LLM video generation that has nothing to do with the 8 hour empty hallway video they claim to have.

Its actually kinda interesting how long they have been taking the "poor and disabled will just kill themselves off" approach. In 2012 Romney was also campaigning on repealing Medicaid and Medicare.
He literally said "people don't die from a lack of insurance" happy to ignore any chronic diseases and blame the individual.

He even had proposed less funding for ambulances and more for services to collect bodies cause he even expected more people to die. We are still there with this party but even more racist and victim blaming while being more aggressive in who the other is while demanding more children to keep capitalism going up... Bunch of the worst people who just want whatever they want and never reality.

Wendover is pretty bad and finding out they take essentially bribes in the form of free stays and travel from an amusement park to say only nice things a little them after the park had an accident that killed a kid makes it so it's pretty obvious it's not about being good content for us but for the people making it. Likely tax write-offs and funny accounting all over their channels.
They state that they aren't for education but entertainment and thus don't have a to cite sources either.
Yeah they aren't a trustworthy source is my point.

Man not just DC but Philadelphia and Newark and Connecticut have more trees and also do a great job of being spring beauties by gift of the Japanese cities as thanks.

Culturally we are still living in the 80s, just a dragged out fun mirror version of it because everyone at the top of the pyramid refuses to believe there could be anything better than their idea of life and the malls are online.
