According to Gen Z, this never happened, no one saw it, it didn’t occur and no one was there.

Solved a problem in five minutes the vendor and our internal SME could not solve in working on it all day. On a product I know little about and am not an SME in and has nothing to do with my field.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
They’re a Hit
It is pretty amazing that America is such a non-racist nation that we have Hitlers of like 10 different ethnicities.
That’s a real achievement.
Oing

Eptly
I was considered pretty socially inept and clueless in my youth. As I’ve mentioned before, I find it exceedingly strange that Gen Z is now so socially incapable that even in my incapability were I that age again contemporaneous with them, I’d be in the top 10%.
That is not a good change.
I Saw It
As more and more people are alive who are not old enough to recall 9/11, it’s interesting that many of them attempt to gaslight those of us who were around and already adults then about what really occurred, what we really saw, and what happened that day 25 years ago now. The poltroons in the post below are not the first, but merely an example I noticed on the eve the tragedy’s anniversary.
I suspect that desire to tell us what we really witnessed and felt comes from not wanting to comprehend the intensity of the horror of that day and the days that followed. The uncertainty. The fear. It’s something they cannot imagine and do not want to imagine. If they did, they might be forced to believe that something like that could happen to them, too.
Unlike what these Gen Z types think — the same ones who can barely read and for some reason believe we didn’t even have TVs in 2001 — 9/11 coverage was inescapable. That horrible day and for weeks after it, one could not go anywhere without seeing images and videos of 9/11. Every station (of which there were many at the time) played footage constantly. Every newspaper had endless articles. Even the fairly-primitive internet had videos and innumerable pieces.
Those of us who were there as witness to Americans suffering and dying that day know what we saw. Be glad you weren’t there. But we — we had no choice.
No Land
Oh, what a fucktard.
There were definitely live shots of people jumping on 9/11. I saw them. Many people saw them. Probably most Americans did given the ubiquitous coverage and what time of day 9/11 occurred. It’s fucking insulting to insist no one saw this. I remember being in the AT&T Ops Center in Charlotte, NC, and the CNN anchor saying they were going to cut away because the live video was, “Too disturbing to keep showing.” People were jumping one after another. You could hear on the audio bodies landing on cars and on concrete as well. People in the room with me were sobbing loudly. I remember one woman saw a lady in a skirt jump and involuntarily gasp-shrieked in horror, startling others in in the room.
This person is probably like 22. And I’d gladly punch them in the face as hard as I could if they were in front of me. Fucking idiot. Evil fucking idiot. Definitely not landing that helicopter when I “deport” them to Somalia.
Failing that, it’d be an absolute honor to beat this clown to a bloody pulp if the helicopter adventure is not an option.
NTSB Report
NTSB Issues Investigative Update on B-767 Runway Excursion Accident in Miami.
That CVR transcript is damning. It shows a entire series of easily-preventable mistakes and aircraft mismanagement. It’s amazing something worse didn’t happen.
Deciding to go around and then not following through? Clownish. They knew they were way above the glide slope and still attempted to land, came in far too fast and could not slow down.
Pilot error all the way.

Half Off
If you gave me a frontier jailbroken AI model, a few million in bio-lab gear and 10 smart, trained people in a year I could build a virus that’d kill half the world. I don’t even think it’d be particularly hard.
That this is true means that someone is very likely to actually do it.
Dregs
Correct. “Far right” and “Nazi” came to mean among the establishment and among “good people” anyone who did not support having their daughter, sister or wife raped by Ahmed or Nasir. Quite understandably, most normal people reject this as it has become clear to them that third world immigration is a farce and dangerous to them, any women, and their society in toto.
People are rightly rejecting the framing of them being bad people for not wanting their civilizations destroyed and all the women they know harassed, menaced and raped by feral third worlders. Europe really fucked up with its immigration strategy; it allowed in the absolute worst parasites, rapists, criminals and low-IQ dregs. And now they are paying for it.
Last Gasps
Naw, they’d never admit it.
Their logic goes like this:
1) I wasn’t personally affected as I already worked from home and/or was unemployed, so there were no lockdowns.
2) If there were lockdowns and kids couldn’t go to school, it was only like two days.
3) Ok, there were some extremely short “fake” lockdowns and kids couldn’t go to school, but the kids love working in the fields and mines like olden times, so it was ok.
4) There weren’t any lockdowns because no one’s door was welded shut and no one was arrested (in the US).
5) People should have had their doors welded shut and should have been shot if they tried to evade the non-existent lockdowns.
6) I love lockdown and wish it were still happening, even though it didn’t ever happen.
In the end, this group of still-extant lockdown lifers and lockdown liars is just angry that the pandemic didn’t result in their preferred political alterations. That, and many of them are obsessive busybody neurotics who can’t operate well socially. Most of them are also clownish forever-maskers and extremely mentally ill.
Freer World
That’s right. Also, you could walk to the gate in airports with anyone, no ticket needed and very little real security.
It was a much freer and much less surveilled world; it felt a lot better. Now we live in a de facto soft police state.
Face Up
Oh hell yes. And I hope no face-chompy brain-eating aliens, either. But ya take what ya can get.
