BARBIE (2023) + CAST INTERVIEWS
I hope that they feel good about themselves watching it. Like I don't know, I feel like there's some sort of relief in this movie in that the message ultimately is you're good. You're good as you are. You are enough just as you are. You're crushing it. - Margot Robbie
One of the things that I feared about the Oceangate trip was that they’d break with tradition regarding the engine room.
You see, since the first expedition to the wreck, it has been considered absolutely taboo to go near it.
This is because the engineers volunteered to stay behind to keep the lights going as long as possible to make it more likely that help would arrive on time. As a way of showing respect for those men who knowingly chose to die to help others, their area of the ship is considered taboo for exploration.
And I sincerely doubt that the Oceangate dudebros would have cared about keeping up the tradition of respecting the sacrifice of those men.

Reblogging again because I just realized that if I had this advice in high school I would’ve never made a tumblr account.
Also works for most of those news sites like WSJ or NYT that only let you read a little bit, or block adblockers. Also some disable the scroll bar but if you go to the right side of the console after hitting F12 and look for the CSS element “overflow” and change it from “hidden” to “visible” then you can continue scrolling for free. Might have to click around on different parts of the page to find it, but it should work.
There’s also a Firefox/Chrome extension called Behind The Overlay that does all that with one mouse click. Used it for years; what a time saver.
And if you encounter a true paywall, use Archive.Today to bypass it. Just paste the paywalled url into the blue “search archived snapshots” box near the bottom:
genuinely obsessed with the grimace milkshake meme I hope it's got the McDonald's marketing team locked in a board room biting their nails desperately trying to figure out if this is positive press or not
Listen my basic human empathy does feel genuine horror for those people who most likely died in that submarine.
But my working logical brain is also scoffing at anyone stupid enough to spend 250k to get into a heavy metal coffin, sinking to see the ocean floor graveyard that is the titanic.
Like just watch the movie, man. Spend 250k to go to Venice or some shit.
Why the titanic? We all know what it looks like. We all saw the movie.
"People don't deserve to die in such horrifying ways" and "You voluntarily got into a jerry rigged unregulated submersible to go to an incredible hostile place you shouldn't be going to anyway what were you expecting" are statements that can coexist
This whole submarine thing is a perfect spotlight on how the super wealthy take on an "I'm bulletproof" mentality, which makes sense considering how money can insulate you from pretty much anything.
Then when some guy offers to take them to see the Titanic for $250 000 and makes them sign a waiver that screams THIS TITANIUM AND CARBON SAUSAGE THAT YOU WILL BE BOLTED INTO FROM THE OUTSIDE IS CONTROLLED WITH A BOOTLEG PS3 GAMEPAD AND HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN SAFE BY ANYONE WHO KNOWS THEIR SHIT. THERE IS A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY YOU COULD DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH they go "not me, I'm rich 😗✌" and climb right on.
I've seen this in recreational diving circles too. The richer the clients, the worse they are at listening to you when you end the dive to prevent people running out of air and/or getting the bends. Sure there are the ones who get really into tek, see/hear about someone dying and go "oh shit maybe these limits exist for a reason" and actually start listening but I have pulled out my hair over rich assholes ignoring safety instructions enough to know oceangate had it coming. When social consequences have never existed for someone, they tend to forget that the sea doesn't give a shit who their dad is.
Can we start a petition to certify the Titanic and area around it as a gravesite and can only be visited for scientific reasons under special permits with at least a $1million+ fine for violators (based on tax bracket) like the Edmund Fitzgerald pls
once again rich capitalists treat safety regulations as a pesky way for the government to take money away from them and not as the literal testament in blood of all the people that have died or been injured because of unsafe situations
