He's right.

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.

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.

It's not like Baltimore was a great place before the bridge came down...

Why are these people so eager to push one story or another?

The sane thing to do is to discuss the options.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except there was literally a mayday call from the ship saying that they lost power and could not steer... So... That's the only option worth descussing because that's what happened. MJT or anybody else suggestion it was intentional is indeed a submoronic pirfall of a human being.

You guys really get into the whole persecution angle.
