    Yeah, we were all sold on the illusion that these fucks are smarter or work harder than everyone else.

    Ive met some of these fucks - inbred old money peices of shit all of them.

    Wouldnt piss on a person to put out a fire, zero compassion psychopaths.

      One of them literally just had his submersible implode because he was smarter than safety regulators.

        Is it a bit too soon to say “good riddance”

        Like it’s awful, people died, that does suck and it is a tragedy… but at the same token, consequences of your actions. If you’re dumb enough to get on an unregulated submersible controlled by an old, off brand Xbox controller and dive to more than double it’s rated depth… don’t be surprised when things go wrong and you die.

          Also, everybody is talking and forming opinions on the topic, while it’s just really just a “why would I care” type of news? When hundreds of refugees drown on a sinking ship, it’s a sidenote in a daily news feed, so it’s annoying when the media then blows up this “news” about rich people nobody heard of before.

            I think part of it is the location. Off the coast of Greece? Ships pass through all the time, one’s bound to sink. Law of really large numbers.

            But the Titanic? It’s both inaccessible and highly mythologised.

            Sure wealth is a factor but it’s only one of many.

          I mean I don’t think good riddance needs to be said anyway, all that needs to be said is dude was an idiot and got himself and others killed because of it. Being rich doesn’t innoculate you from being stupid.

            I don’t think good riddance needs to be said

            I mean that is it too early to say that the world is a better place without these rich fucks wasting resources?

          Let’s not impugn the good name of the Logitech F710. It’s a perfectly fine controller.

            I love that the internet’s take on the sub thing seems to have arrived at ‘jokes are fine but leave the controller out of it’. Very on brand, I must respect it.

          whoa whoa whoa… I’mma let you finish, but the controller is a fine device, and logitech has some pretty good stuff. The mindboggling thing is that they used it for A SUB.

          A bunch of rich people sank to the bottom of the ocean because of arrogance and ignored safety concerns, while trying to see a ship that was full of rich people that sank to the bottom of the ocean because of arrogance and ignored safety concerns.
