When another poster asked, “Isn’t it possible that this was a deliberate terrorist attack rather than a tragic accident?,” Simon retorted, “It’s possible that you’re a useless shitheel rando on an internet hellsite speculating wildly and without regard to what is already known by authorities in Baltimore. Quick, have someone fund your podcast. You’ll go far.”
To a poster who called Baltimore a “mismanaged, failed state,” Simon offered a well-worded correction: “The port is a state-run entity and nothing whatsoever to do with Baltimore municipal government, you absolute submoron.”
To Anthony Sabatini, the former Florida congressman who wrote “DEI did this” – referring to diversity, equity and inclusion – Simon took no prisoners. “Your mother did you, but after a hard life of service on a truck-stop lot, can we really hold her loosened, battered womb responsible for dropping you head-first on the Winnebago floor and burdening our society with another empty, racist demagogue thereafter? We cannot.”
If this is indicative of The Wire, I should watch it.
I envy your first watch. It’s an incredible show. Only one I personally rank a slight notch higher is Deadwood.
Agreed … cocksucker.
Never heard Deadwood discussed anywhere. Will it challenge my Battlestar Galactica run?
Deadwood is the best written, most humane and complex drama I’ve seen on TV. Watch with subtitles because Milch is a genius and you don’t want to miss anything.
Both shows are at the top but Deadwood’s dialogue has a deliberate rhythm to it that is unmatched. If you get on it’s wave length you’re in for a treat. I watch it at least once a year and never grow tired of it.
David Milch the creator details his thought process on the rhythm of the dialogue and the push back he got with use of obscenity here: https://youtu.be/F2qk7W8_KLE?si=LxeRNs2N_-kzKiGb&t=1196 (20:01) Once he’s done answering that question (around 29:00) i’d stop watching if you haven’t seen Deadwood as there are spoilers later in the talk.
Milch was wasted on TV, in a sense.
No one really knows the whole story. But there are factors that lean into the side of conspiracy. Several redundant systems would need to have coincidentally failed in order for the ship to steer and stay off-course the way it did. All this in the backdrop of food plants blowing up, the Biden administration blowing up Nordstream, it’s not hard to be skeptical in such times.
Several things need to happen or fail in EVERY accident. Every car accident is a mix of multiple factors at once; weather, driver inattentiveness, other traffic or obstacles, etc. It doesn’t mean every car accident or plane or boat crash is a conspiracy.
Believe the true conspiracies. Disbelieve the false ones.
Several redundant systems would need to have coincidentally failed
Jeez, it just shows you have no fucking clue. Main engine problems happen regularly with a big enough fleet of vessels. Meaning, it doesn’t happen often, but with hundreds of vessels it happens often enough.
If you’d just have investigated the assumption how often main engines have issues you’d see this Google result: https://issuu.com/marinetrust/docs/w71/s/12145703
Meaning, it happens often.
Secondly, that “several redundant systems”. Wtf are you talking about here? A spare backup main engine?!?
You’re assuming.
God I genuinely hope once a day while eating you randomly manage to bite your tongue. I hope it happens so much that one day you swallow a piece of it on accident and develop an addiction to the taste. Then one day you’ll kiss someone you love and suddenly you’ll find yourself swallowing their tongue, deaf to their screams. You’ll face your loved one in a trial and beg for their forgiveness and even if they wanted to they would not be able to reply. Then when you are thrown in solitary, you’ll starve yourself knowing what you did, and that you don’t deserve their sympathy, but still dream of the flavor as you took your lovers speech forever.
