- well, for one thing the immigrant boat is getting 24 hour a day coverage in Greece. The sub is getting little coverage. Same with countries like Pakistan and_niko
- Italy, I'm sure it's all over their news.
But there's nothing to be done about the boat. There is still hope to rescue the sub. Same thing with the Thai kids_niko - there was still hope. Also, people like train-wrecks, especially ones involving the uber-rich...we almost feel good about their hubristic demise._niko

- "we almost feel good about their demise" - has your heart always been so grim, or is this a learned thing?canoe
- Wonder how much the traffickers made sending those migrants to their doom? Probably over what the idiot sun men charged to kill their passengersPhanLo
- Canoe you left out the hubris part. But seriously nobody cares about rich cunts dying after spending 250k for a joyride when children are literally slaves in..._niko
- ...their factories. They’ve lived a life only a handful of people could only dream of, they’ve got so much money and are so bored with spending it that they do_niko
- The most absurd things like take a submarine ride to the bottom of the ocean to see the titanic first hand. So yeah it’s pretty hilarious._niko
- And it’s not just me, the internets are full of these memes https://i.imgur.com/…_niko
- niko, so people who make memes are your moral compass? And it's ok for scientists to explore the ocean, but the people who fund the science can't go. And...canoe
- of course all rich people have made their money off the back of child slavery.canoe
- Especially the private jet broker and the guy who owns the fertilizer company who are on the submarine. Laugh it up. It's hilarious. Sicko.canoe
- Sinking refugee boats are a weekly occurrence
Logitech controlled submarine game can be played only oncedrgs - I'll go hold a vigil for them, maybe make some t-shirts. #1%LM, maybe we can start a movement._niko
- Dude, they literally paid some eccentric inventor $250,000 of their pocket change to climb in to a death trap to go take a peek at the Titanic_niko
- If that isn't the hight of absurdity, then you crying over them certainly is. Don't know about you but I've got a thousand other real problems in my life to_niko
- ...worry about. The misadventures of rich cunts certainly isn't one of them._niko
- Carnival rides have more tech than that sub, at least they have some levers and a bunch of switches. This literally had one red button and a game controller._niko
- Migrants also did a crazy thing of paying traffickers to take them to Europe in hope if free this and that, in a unsafe vehicle.shapesalad
- In El Pais of Uruguay there were 5 articles about the submarine Yesterday.maquito

- The migrants do it through desperation.PhanLo
- they found it:
https://twitter.com/…sted - niko - you just it's absurd for the rich to spend their money freely, and then said that a carnival ride has more tech than a submarine. Define absurd.canoe
- You have a million other problems - but still take the time to argue about how rich people should spend their money, live their life and deserve to die. Ace!canoe

Pretty good analysis by this submarine/submersible blog about exactly how fucked they are and why. The fact that they were free-diving without a tether to the main ship is just nuts.
Like, for $250,000 a ticket you couldn't afford a fucking rope?
- this is what I thought but I'm an idiot._niko
- sad, they're all dead.utopian
- good news is it was from a catastrophic implosion and they died almost instantly as opposed to slowly suffocating to death._niko

'Synthetic human embryos created in groundbreaking advance
Exclusive: Breakthrough could aid research into genetic disorders but raises serious ethical and legal issues'
https://www.theguardian.com/scie…
'The structures do not have a beating heart or the beginnings of a brain, but include cells that would typically go on to form the placenta, yolk sac and the embryo itself.'
- Gattaca b*tch!ideaist
- stems cells are used to grow all kinds of synthetic tissues, and I think you are overreactingmonospaced
- But even if a human could be created, it would require non synthetic genetic material, and then it would just be a regular human. Nothing bad there.monospaced

Here’s a tour of that sub
- What would happen if the batteries went dead in that PlayStation controller? They have a plan for that?shapesalad
- The whole sub is a big NOPE! But the biggest NOPE-est part is that they seal it closed with bolts from the outside! FTS!microkorg
- He literally says there are a few backup controllers. It’s also a Logitech controller, not PlayStation. I’ve had the same one 15 years and it’s still perfect.monospaced
- maybe they got the blue tooth module off the shelf. Furloughing that these are designed to fail overtime.rootlock
- @shape they have some spares lolmilfhunter
- Logitech controllers are a weird flex.palimpsest
- Only thing worse than death is the expectation of impending death. I think by this time they are all smeared in each others feces and have already cannibalizeddrgs
- the weakest of the 5drgs
- I think focusing on the controller is silly.monospaced
- I guess the controllers also had to be inspirational for their target audience.palimpsest
- It's a good way to show how unprofessional this whole thing is, but to just assume it's the reason for the disaster is silly.monospaced
- Other than SS, I don't think anybody thinks the Logitech controller is at fault here.

A massive search and rescue operation is under way in the mid Atlantic after a tourist submarine went missing during a dive to Titanic's wreck on Sunday.
Contact with the small sub was lost about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive, the US Coast Guard said.
Tour firm OceanGate said all options were being explored to rescue the five people onboard.Tickets cost $250,000 (£195,000) for an eight-day trip including dives to the wreck at a depth of 3,800m (12,500ft).
Government agencies, the US and Canadian navies and commercial deep-sea firms are helping the rescue operation, officials said.Titanic's wreck lies some 435 miles (700km) south of St John's, Newfoundland, though the rescue mission is being run from Boston, Massachusetts.
The missing craft is believed to be OceanGate's Titan submersible, a truck-sized sub that holds five people and usually dives with a four-day emergency supply of oxygen.
On Monday afternoon, Rear Adm John Mauger of the US Coast Guard told a news conference: "We anticipate there is somewhere between 70 and the full 96 hours available at this point."
Hamish Harding, a 58-year-old British billionaire businessman and explorer, is among those on the missing submarine, his family said.
The submersible usually carries a pilot, three paying guests, and what the company calls a "content expert".- Musk should be on thisfadein11

Two charged after Hitler speeches played on Austrian train intercom
Snippets from Nazi leader as well as shouts of ‘Sieg Heil’ played on train running from Bregenz to ViennaTwo people have been charged in Austria for allegedly playing speeches by Adolf Hitler via the loudspeaker system of a train running from Bregenz to Vienna.
The two suspects, who were not identified, also allegedly blasted “Heil Hitler” via the train’s intercom several times on Sunday. The authorities tracked them down by analysing video from the train cameras. Spreading Nazi propaganda is a criminal offence in Austria.
Passengers took notice of unusually loud messages being played over the high-speed Railjet train’s intercom shortly before its stop at St Pölten. Instead of announcing the next stop, the system initially played a series of bloopers by the actor usually voicing the train’s announcements, as well as a fire alarm message.
