Just a bard with a thousand faces.

I wouldn’t be surprised. But, I suspect there’s also a factor of just implausibility. Apparently, the main vessel they use is “experimental”, so it may just literally be impossible to have a recovery vessel without being a literal government.

My money’s on this being the result of someone ignoring the “hey, these are not good conditions” warnings.

One of the other posts in the feed makes it sound like they only do it a handful of times a year, and that cost is covering a multi-day excursion since they have to wait for conditions to be right. Still, no excuse to not have contingencies, but I think their take gets eaten into a fair bit more than the raw math would suggest.

So, in the live feed the BBC has going, there’s a post suggesting that a group of explorers were apparently on board based on one of them’s Facebook feed, so it’s safe to say they probably had the full passenger set on there.

BBC’s also got a live feed going for this.

Apparently, the sub’s supposed to have a suite of systems to more or less warn the pilot if things are looking dicey, so hopefully this is a communications problem and not something worse.

Because if you let women have authority, people might start believing things like “men are not automatically good without needing to actually do good things” and “authority isn’t instantly derived from the circumstances of your birth but instead based on your merits as a leader”.

I mean, I know why I haven’t yet in spite of also having played the game since beta.

… It’s because I’m lazy and hate grinding for materials.

True Pacifist Undertale just the other day. Which, to be fair, took me something like two years to get around to doing because I was way too lazy to deal with some of the ending fights of Neutral route.

Now I have the itch to go back and play EarthBound again… Which may be related to the lo-fi Mother 2 mix that got posted earlier today over in the Music community.

No, no. It still works if you pull back just a bit more and realize the “derogatory” elements are entirely manufactured by large companies looking to exploit the individual as part of an undifferentiated mass!
