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
- Safety is for the Woke.utopian
- tether that shit!YakuZoku
- lol at utopianApeRobot
- That would be a really long, expensive rope. And millionaires are cheap bastards.********

The main poliyical Parties didn't want it to be continued (it is a state-owned newspaper) - officially it lacked funding and had to be discontinued (although many believe that there would be more than enough money, just not the political will to continue it)

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action in college admissions, declaring race cannot be a factor and forcing institutions of higher education to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies.

- Curious they exempted military academies - need to prepare Black Americans and other underrepresented minorities for success in the bunker, not the boardroomwhatthefunk
- Imagine being black in a classroom with asian kids, Indian kids, latino kids, white kids and thinking I only have to be 75% as good as them to get in?_niko
- doesn't that create an inferiority complex? Doesn't that always keep you a second class citizen?_niko
- hardship and poverty are another story, socio-economic factors should definitely be taken into consideration and help those in need._niko
- No, Niko, it doesn't breed inferiority complex.
It gives them an opportunity they wouldn't have, otherwise.Projectile - Why should they have the opportunity?
Redlining. Land theft. Tulsa. Slavery. Current racist idiotsProjectile - You can't opress a race for hundreds of years, then a few decades yrs after you let them vote, say "why should they skip the line?"Projectile

Fuck the blacks, fuck the gays ... let’s see, who’s next.
The court ruled 6-3 for designer Lorie Smith despite a Colorado state law that bars discrimination based on sexual orientation, race, gender and other characteristics. Smith had argued that the law violates her free speech rights.
- It's a private business, they can refuse clients. I wouldn't be comfortable making websites for religious zealots, anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, hell I_niko
- ...wouldn't be comfortable making websites for the Toronto Maple Leafs since I'm a die hard Has fan lol...you can refuse business._niko
- Imagine going to a design shop with rainbow flags all over the place, clearly liberal and asking them to make anti-abortion websites or maga_niko
- ...sites, do they not have the right to refuse?_niko
- Trying to picture a gay couple so desperate for a website that they call this lady after looking at her portfolio...72339
- They have a right to refuse. They could and should have said they were too busy. Refusing based on sexual orientation was a mistake.monospaced
- https://www.yelp.ca/…********
- there was no couple - the situation was entirely fabricated, so now the SC draws a line and makes it entirely acceptable to disciminate against LGBTQ+ folk.face_melter
- so all you fucking libs going '...well, ackshually it's a business...' can fucking bite it. the entire thing was designed by bigots to strip more rights away.face_melter
- I agree with Niko, i refuse clients all the time. only issue i see is now public businesses can refuse to serve thus fueling law approved hate. My 2 centshydro74
- hmm good point Hydro, was thinking this didn't apply to public/govt corporations only small mom and pop shops/freelancers individual contractors etc_niko
- but if this applies to businesses of any size then yeah it's a problem. Can Chick-filet refuse to serve gays now? or Muslims? yikes._niko
- But serving someone a beer or letting them in your shop to buy stuff is way different than hiring a creative who needs to buy in, become emerged in the project_niko
- ...learn all they can to be able to deliver their best creative, so yeah it’s a little more personal and involved and if it’s not your cup of tea you should be ab_niko
- Able to walk away from it or outright refuse the gig. You have to love what you’re doing as a creative to produce great work._niko
- I need some swastika-patterned scarfs for my grandma.********
- So, how does this differ from a restaurant saying to blacks or gays "We don't serve your kind here."? This is a precedent for so much equally savage racism.CyBrainX
- It's different because it's not personal. It'd be like hiring a devout muslim writer to pen an article "The Joys of eating Pork"_niko
- saying, "we don't serve gays" is personal if they're gaymonospaced
- on a related note, I have a devout muslim designer that I assign corporate pride campaign design to EVERY SINGLE YEARmonospaced

Paris to charge SUV drivers higher parking fees to tackle ‘auto-besity’
Size, weight and motor will be taken into account as councillors target ‘dangerous, cumbersome’ vehicles
- The UK always used to mock and criticise the US for its massive SUVs & trucks while we drove round in Fiestas but over the last 10yrs we are going the same way.HAYZ1LLLA
- Big car psychology. You have a family, you want to protect them, you see a big car on the road... you want to have something bigger, so you get a big SUV...shapesalad
- Then someone sees your big SUV and wants something bigger... and it goes on and on... until someone with a big dick rolls up in a vintage mini.shapesalad
- suvs should not be charged more if occupancy is utilized.imbecile
