Uhhhh this seems to imply that the fuselages aren't normally checked for cracks.

You know, I honestly was never afraid of flying. But the older I get, and the more damage capitalism does, I'm starting to think I'm not prepared to trust anyone to do their jobs properly anymore.

Amazing song, everyone should hear it

Except that I'm talking about feeling personally that you were part of the problem.

Joe Blow was not feeling personally guilty about nuclear weapons. Or felt like they personally caused the war. Or that the economic crash was their fault.

Do you know how many people, particularly boomers, spent literally decades denying climate change, while obviously not participating in efforts against it?

If I'm an old white boomer who spent the last 15 years making my whole identity a Ford F-350 and Fuck Biden / Fuck Trudeau bumper stickers, I heart oil, i heart beef, i heart anything that a liberal hates.....I might be feeling a bit uneasy about some of my stances while I'm watching the world burn. Then again, let's face it.... the ones who did the most damage are the least likely to even be capable of understanding how dire things are, even when they're staring it in the face.....

They are in complete denial. Imagine approaching death right as it's impossible to deny your generation personally fucked up the future of civilization itself.

In my experience you now get one of: 1. The weather has always been like this, 2. I did everything I could, I recycled and brought my own cup to the coffee shop, 3. Oh well, I'll be dead soon so it's not my problem.

I'll stick to chess and keep my humble elderly gaming laptop for another 40 years with Linux

Better load up Wolfenstein 3D again. We're ready for this.
