  • Huge efforts were made to reduce noise and vibration, thereby creating a pleasant onboard environment.

    Oh what a good billionaire, his efforts to make his onboard environment more pleasant is also beneficial to the outside environment! Such a giver!

    The off-white exterior and synthetic handrails require less cleaning, for example.

    The colour of paint chosen for his mega yacht really shows how much he cares!

    How about you ask yourself how many scientists and engineers HE paid to have a job to work on this?

    And you haven’t been listening. I’m not repeating myself on this point anymore.

    You just see a yacht and think the worse. Worlds far less black and white.

    Literally the opposite of what I said at the end of my previous post. If you’re not going to bother to read what I say then what are we doing here?







  • Island has an ‘s’ in it. This was started as a stylistic choice to make the word look more Latin despite the fact that the English word has no Latin roots.

    This is proof enough that English is a stupid language for the unwashed masses. There are no rules, all that matters is how it is used and understood. Anyone who tries argue that “literally can not mean figuratively” or that gif has to be pronouced a specific way is an idiot trying to force logic into a system that has none. Don’t waste your time trying to explain that you know the only true and proper rules to Calvinball.

    That ‘s,’ that’s what broke me.

    The meme is the trolly problem, and this guy is saying “it doesn’t matter if you pull the lever, someone dies either way, it’s exactly the same!”

    Except in the actual situation is more like “if you pull the lever the trolly will divert from running over group A and will run over group B. If you do nothing the trolly accelerates and runs over both groups A and B.”

    I’m saying it’s worth pulling the lever while you work on a solution to stop the trolly. Someone arguing against that either doesn’t care about group A, or cares more about not being involved than in actually saving lives.

    Saying “but Trump will do more genocide” makes you sound like a fucking idiot.

    Tell me you don’t pay attention without telling me you don’t pay attention.

    “Not voting for someone who refuses to speak out on x is having an idealised moral high ground”

    You cut off the rest of the sentence: “When the alternative will only result in more.” Your problem is you fail at context, everything exists in a vacuum and has no affect on anything else.
