>>221235422Forgot one>made customers sign contract saying they can't sue if they get injured or die
>>221235440>>221235422you sound like a communist
>>221235440That's basically what they make you do on any activity that might involve injuring yourself nowadays, don't think they would hold up in court
>>221235422hard to believe the guy used to be an engineer at mcdonnell douglas. was the guy downright suicidal or just delusional?
>>221235477And you sound like you would have joined them prior to June 2023
>>221235527Just a typical white old guy. Any movies for this feel?
>>221235527He was a literal nepo baby. His family came from wealth. He actually went to Princeton and bragged about buying out Congressmen. I know retards who went to community college who are smarter.
>>221235527Highly delusional. He nearly got everyone killed when they were surveying the Andrea Doria.
>>221235422First, whay should I care about a white rich man who Faustian Spirit himself, hard?Also, we have drones that can go to Mariana Trench deep, for hours, with 360° high definition cameras and sound that's better than our ears and eyes.There is no point in going in a trip to die crusehed inside a smelly can.The drone would cost even less than that scam of a submarine.
>>221235556I forgot that too. He literally told the experienced pilot he wanted to drive and forced him into submission with the threat of firing him and then got everyone stuck underneath the bow of the Andrea Doria. To pour salt onto the wound, the pilot, who begged talked him into coming, saved the day and Stockton rewarded him by isolating him from the rest of the company after they got back. Such an insecurity piece of shit. Rest in piss retard.
>>221235596Because the experience of being there triumphs any shitty 4k YouTube video your favorite streamer made, you basement dwelling loser.
Oceangate threads were a fucking riot, but it was a lot funnier when we were still holding out hopes that they shit themselves to death while the theme from Titanic was stuck on a loop instead of just instantly imploding.
>>221235440>can't sue if they dieDon't need a contract for that
>>221235440>>221235422Stockton literally BLAMED one of his engineers after cracks were found in the first version to save his own ass. The very same engineer who was on record saying the CF design was going to fail. He fired that engineer and then went on to rebuild the SAME EXACT CF SUB of his V1 version that failed. YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP
>>221235669Doesn’t seem that funny judging by that image
If you think this is funny you lack empathy
>>221235422Didn't he say that the sounds it made while descending was the "hull seasoning"?
>>221235811>wypippo don season dey hulls
>>221235811Yup. He legit called it "hull seasoning." His cope with the sound was "well all hulls crack at depth." And he completely ignored the data, picrel. Titanic dive was #88 so he had more than enough warning signs.
>>221235422He thought he was some kind of innovator finding a way to do things cheaper than others. Some people just wont listen to reason
The most insane thing is that the fucking boat, despite all of that, still managed to do multiple titanic dives without crumbling like a tin can.
>>221235746NOOOOOOOOO DONT MAKE FUN OF MY POOR HECKERINO BILLIONAIRES
You know when you see a speed limit sign that says you should hit the turn at 35 but you can easily hit it at 70, then there are speed limit signs to take a mountain road turn at 50 but even that doesn't feel safe so you hit it at 35?He took the latter and said "I can clear it at 100, I got places to be"
What did they see down there
None of this happened. It was a fake news story to gauge public sentiment for the ruling class because some of them are aware being killed in the street is imminent.
>>221235908Laughing at people dying is not good. No matter what tax bracket they fall into.
To be fair, anyone who pays money to see that - or even does it for free - is an NPC deserving of death. You would have to pay me 1mil to go see the Goytanic, I'd much rather spend my day masturbating to anime girls like I usually do.
>>221235907Yes for sure anon. It all comes down to understanding CF. Despite the major catastrophe, it's still really strong and cheap. It's great in other industries like cars. It does its job. But it's different for submarines. Each dive weakens it and slowly breaks down the individual strands until it creates a weak point that could no longer withstand the pressure. Funny part it, if they build a new CF sub for each dive, it still would have been cheaper than 1 Mir submersible made out of steel but Stockton got greedy and reused it multiple times and didn't create about the data showing of the impending doom.
>cmon maxxy, some good ole fashioned family bonding, just like old times!
>>221235988You will never understand until you actually travel somewhere and when it’s staring you right in the face and then you will get it. But until then enjoy the fake tits I guess.
>>221235422>does dives from canada to get around US safety regulations Stopped reading this commie shit hereYes it was a tragedy but it had nothing to due with not following impractical "safety" regulations imposed by government bodies whos only goals is to wistfully rob people of their money. The truth of the matter is that everyone knew the risks and it was their right to take it in the pursuit of technological advancement.Mr. Rush did more for privatizing deep-sea submarine exploration than anyone and I would argue his submarine would have been an outstanding success had he of had less restrictions imposed on him by the socialists.
>>221235986I'm mostly laughing at Stockton's arrogance more than anything else. He was told multiple times by multiple people that his sub was going to fail catastrophically and he chose to ignore everyone. Not only that but he went out of his way to fuck them over and silence them. He wasn't some dumb guy who wanted to learn. He was some dumb guy who didn't want to learn or listen and made some cheap product that failed. Had he lived, he probably would have gotten 2 years of house arrest and you would have been like "oh well, cant catch em all I guess." He deserved everything coming to him and you know this. Go watch the documentary.
>>221236090>Mr. Rush did more for privatizing deep-sea submarine explorationIMAGINE GETTING STICK DRIFT AT FOUR THOUSAND METERS BENEATH THE SEA KEEEEEEEEK
>>221235634>being there>inside a can watching in from a shitty glassGood experience, white man.
>>221236172Shut the fuck up you filthy evil communist. It only makes sense to simplify controls for any vehicle with something people are already used to so long as they have the license to mimic that device.
>>221236209>when the communist ship accumulates over 1,200 successful dives including to the deepest parts of the ocean at 10,000m while the capitalist ships makes only 13 dives (out of 90) and fails at only 3000m inCope
>>221236272One sub took decades to make and was built from stolen money (that could have been made at the fraction of the cost but wasn't thanks to government interference.)The other was a prototype of the free market that was still burdened under government overreach.
>>221236326>burdened under government overreach.Lmao @ this dumb nigger blaming "muh evil gooberment" Stockton was a fucking moron who lied and mislead many people including 2 billionaires who were too cheap to pay 750k for an actual proven and classed submersible (DSV Limiting Factor), and instead hitched a ride on the experimental 250k vessel, which cost 200k to build.
If I were a passenger on that sub id eat a bunch of chilli and cheese and then when we are at depth id take a huge stinking gassy shit in the little tub they had for it, it'd be too big for the tub and everyone would have to smell my poop for the next 8 hours and Stockton Rush would be cursing me out but be impotent to anything but sniff my shit fumes
>>221235422You forgot:>Called Poseidon a faggot
>>221235422Carbon fibre? Didn’t realise this was formula one
>>221236055>I'M GONNA DIE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA WITH TWO GOOFS!
>>221236421MR. Rush was a visionary and when private subs are fully privatized and far removed from government corruption his name will go down in history and privately funded statues will be built in his name.
>>221235634Go implode, faggot.
>>221235539>better safe than sorry!No one will remember your name
>>221235422>>literally just wants more moneyHe wanted to build Atlantis and have his company be the deep sea equivalent of Space X. Do you think Elon would ever board one of his own rockets? No, because the fucker has 0 ambition and just wants to start a race war
>>221236060FUCKING HILARIOUS, you braindead fucking zoomie. You couldn't have picked a worse example. I was in Rome almost 20 years ago, and part of a guided tour I had to "witness the beauty" right in front of me all these super special wholesome chungus wonders. The wonders are just fine on pictures online or in encyclopedias. Seeing it in real life - crawling with maggots (tourists and nigger scammers everywhere, even back then Italy was nigger filled) just ruined it, nothing more. Maybe NPCs like you enjoy being "part of the heckin mass off energy" but real human beings like me have an inner voice + imagination. I could visualize all these cultural landmarks much better from 90s encyclopaedia drawn pics than the sad state they are in nowadays. In the end, it was just a chore, I took pictures of all the nigger & tourist nigger filled places to prove I was there, and then my camera erases all the pics so I felt like throwing it from the tower in Vatican right into the faggot/boy lover pedo's fag garden.>the 17 year old broccoli hair/tranny will now continue to LARP as a "wise beyond his years adult" (aka parrot normalfag NPC talking points) meanwhile I am the oldest poster ITT and I'm only 36 years old, but I have actual "wisdom beyond my years" unlike xir
>>221236769Oh and btw Ayumu Kasuga's breasts are more real than the gross brown tits of whatever ugly ass BPD Latinx goblina you're gonna fuck. Just mentioning her because I busted a nut to Osaka around 14:31 Frabce time during "work" (another week spent pretending I'm online and doing very serious coding and debugging because this is how we real human beings deceive the NPC managerial cattle). My love for Osaka is more real than any "feelings" you "think" you "felt", you disgusting blob of brown shit.
I love the part where he talks about one dive where the popping sounds were especially loud, and then says the next dive went much better because he wore earplugs.
>>221236172sir we heard something on sonar, patching the signal in now sir>1 2 3 4 upload your score>5 6 7 8 9 10 you're great!
>>221236769If the first mental association you have when you think Rome is maggots I am sorry to say that you're the problem.
>>221236918Insane. Truly this kind of response is something only a Latinx trannygoblino could produce. To say you are barely sentient would be a compliment. "People" like you existing is what fuels delusions that AI can act like human beings. Any AI can surpass (You), but so can a trained chimp.
so what do you think happened once they realized they were fuckedDid they beat the shit out of the guy
>>221236769>>221236845That’s some top tier cope. Niggers don’t bother me if you learn to ignore them and actually not look like a scrawny faggot that would fold in a fight. >muh camera erased muh pictures because i either suck at tech or made it all up Have another you diabetic introverted faggot. I have dozens more experiences. Traveling is fun. Rotting in a basement isn’t.
the best part of the saga was james cameron going on the news calling him an idiot while wearing a motorcross jersey
>>221237013Typical american idiot.
>>221237021Billionaires aren't violent anon. Realistically, the hull started moaning louder and harder than ever before and one of the billionaires (probably Hamish because the Frenchie or the jeet didn't have a spine) told Stockton to abort. Stockton tried to play it off all cool but the billionaire was firm and started to yell at him. Stockton aborted the descent, started the ascent and then they were gone. It was instantaneous. One minute they were there and the next they were gone. But I like to think in the moments leading up to the implosion, Stockton's life flashed before his life with all the FUD the engineers put in his head and he realized he was gonna die pretty soon.
>>221237013>>221236845>>221236769Picrel, your bedroom. Don't worry chuddie, nothing will harm you there.
>>221237031>That’s some top tier cope. Niggers don’t bother me...because they consider you one of their own. REKT.>>221237123>>221236845>I busted a nut to Osaka around 14:31 Frabce time during "work">>221237186Wrong, I have a very nice clean white apartment actually, it would look even nicer if I had proper cable management on my 3x computer screen +2x Lenovo Thinkpad +1x desktop PC set up in the bedroom or my old Anus laptop +extra computer screen + a treadmill next to these in the kitchen (since I never used my kitchen).Also, I pass for a non-autist in the office because my coworkers and managers think I have a girlfriend (or at least they thought so when they hired me). It's so easy to mimic NPC behavior when you're an INTP God, even with autism.
>>221235746All the performative tears about the "tragedy" broke me. Everyone in that sub was a piece of shit except maybe the 19-year-old. If we're being honest, the 19-year-old was probably a piece of shit too.
>>221235422>silenced a whistleblower by suing him for fraudhonestly this guy was a fucking retard, he thought he was just going to sue and win because he was right
>>221238119Anon, after seeing you behave for several posts it's painfully obvious no one is fooled by your "non-autism" attempts and certainly not the people who have to interact with you irl.
>>221235422What's funny is that if he'd quit only a few months prior to his death and then told silicon valley that he'd 'solved' commercial deep dives, venture capitalists would've given him hundreds of millions, possibly billions to make it commercially viable, and he could've built a very lucrative company off of his repeated failures like so many others.
>>221238119>It's so easy to mimic NPC behavior when you're an INTP God, even with autism.It's called being professional retard. You only reveal your true power level around close family and friends. Everyone does it because they don't wanna risk offending autists like you that become absolutely unhinged when someone wants to go to Rome and see it with their own eyes. >a treadmill next to these in the kitchen (since I never used my kitchen).Yeah enjoy that goyslop microwavable chicken tendies that will give you colon cancer in your 40s. I can actually cook for myself and it rocks.
>>221238137The glee leftists took with this really exposed how pathetic they are. Every single reason could be boiled down to "they're rich and I'm not" which is what every leftist seethes about. When it's nonwhites drowning trying to cross the border then it's a tragedy to them. Not because they feel any real empathy for them, not because they're upset it's a bunch less people who will drive down wages, drive up house prices, and generally destroy your quality of life. It's someone who clearly has less money than them so are therefore, in the two digit IQ mind of the leftist, a tragedy.You know the worst part? You're too braindead to even understand this post.
>>221238179Maybe I'm wrong but Lockridge struck me as a caring and moral guy. He probably didn't want to see anyone die because he knew it was coming. He tried to reach out and knock some sense into nepobaby but nepobaby just tripled down on Darwinism and scared him off. Very few guys in business that have the balls to stand up to the boss. 80% of the company are yesmen and 19% are on the fence about saying something but ultimately back down.
>>221238304please don't compare taking a flight to rome to this guy imploding thousands of feet under the ocean
>>221237075He was polite, though. You can feel James' minuscule demeanor when looking at this whole situation with utter disdain, but the man kept his composure during all the interviews. Pure class. Love him
>>221238304The ABSOLVTE state of this felted jeet NPC. I only use my microwave to heat up popcorn, total waste of space. I order food that your brethren deliver straight to my door almost every day (i.e. unless I feel like eating only 4k kcal from 3-4 cups of Ben&Jewy's and/or Häagen-Dazs - don't have disbeetus btw). Today I had 33 pieces of nigiri unagi, which is apparently 2.3k kcal but I don't believe it, I gained +3kg b4 and after eating. Tomorrow I'll have an overpriced prosciutto crudo/bufalina pizza, just two, since that's 2.4k kcal "only" supposedly. On Sunday, I'll probably order "cheap Chinese" Peking duck, which costs only 15 EUR a portion. Probably 3 portions as usual, I dump the rice in the garbage bin.>in b4 seething jeet tears accusing me of wasting my salary Sure I'm "wasting" it but I also bought my own apartment 5 years ago and since then I "saved" up 52k EUR on my bank account (that's after buying BTC and never selling in that time frane) with these types of spending habits.You have no comeback left, and you have a brown hand so I won't ask you to post it. I have the Whitest gigachad hand on /a/, /v*/ and obviously /tv/ but I don't feel like posting it again, already had jeets seethe at it 6 times this month alone.Face it, I am simply superior.
>>221238324And you decide to celebrate a death or not based on the color of their skin. You're not smarter than anyone, faggot.
>>221238202>NPC who cannot visualize an apple cannot believe that a masterful string puller like me can deceive NPCsI finished two projects in the last 5 years of my professional life (never unemployed in that time). They were estimated to be 12 and 7 weeks worth total. I am a GOD at procrastinating and manipulating NPCs. A GOD. I just wish the "other shoe dropped" (whatever that means) and someone fired me so I could neet out for 6-7 months.
>>221238661btw my BMI is 23.4 using my post sushi gains weight
>>221238661>popcorn >pizza >ice cream >cheap Chinese Yeah you’re a fat nobody. Have another pic of my travels which you rot away in mom’s basement bragging over goyslop.
>>221239013KEK KEK KEK KEK, once again I predicted this and felted the "heckin love to travel" h1b jeet NPC in advance>>221238747
>>221238240that's a good point. He got caught in a trap. His carbon fiber sub did work but only for a handful of dives before it had to be scrapped. His dream was an indefinite life span for the sub and that failed. He could not admit that and was under financial pressure and he denied the engineering data and paid with his life.

>>221235422Never underestimate wealthy nepobabies. They start out with their parents' money and want to prove that they're shrewd businessmen who can survive on their own, but they're lazy and incompetent so they only do the bare minimum effort to look like they're making money.

>>221235422James Cameron did a great interview with 60 Minutes Australia about Oceangatehe called out the guy for being a dumbass and called the Coast Guard morons because they wasted everyone's time and prolonged the suffering of the families by making them think their relatives were still alive for 3 days when everyone knew they had died instantly
>>221237075Based Jimbo.
>>221236769what a dogshit post
>>221237075he is always wearing that jersey. there is news articles about it , there is pictures of him on set in avatar 1 with it on.
the media disgraced themselves again with their oxygen countdown
>>221235422At one point they showed the shitty controller they operated the carbon tube of death with, down on the ocean floor.I was in tears howling laughing, rewound it three times
>>221243060To be fair, only a handful amount of people realized they died. They used text messages and pings to communicate with the surface vessel and that was it. There was no other information to know about the condition of the sub, only that there was lost contact. I believe the acoustic system was saved to the subs computers but it was never sent to the surface.
>>221235669Fun times. It was a magical experience as the more you dug into the case the funnier it got. That Jim Cameron interview where Jim basically demonstrates that Stockon was a fucking retard was classic.
>>221235746The nepo babies and the guys like Stockton are the ones that lack empathy. I just get to laugh that they were born into total privilege and only had to exist to do well. Had they been born into my circumstances they would have died in the streets.
