i think the thing thats absolutely throwing me about the missing sub is that its a situation that feels like it could only have happened in a hypothetical. the fact that its actually real and actually happening feels astronomically improbable and yet it happened. a CEO really did build a rinky-dink submersible to visit the titanic wreckage with a playstation controler as a steering wheel and no emergency action plan and he invited a small group of wealthy guests to pay 250 thousand each for a ticket and then they all disappeared. he's quoted as saying he doesnt care about safety. it sounds like some sort of made up ethics scenario or a rejected scifi plot from the 1930s. this is not a tragedy that befalls any normal unsuspecting person hell this isnt even a normal corporate incompetence and capitalist greed tragedy. this is some loony toons jules verne bullshit. this is a rejected knives out movie script.

#like. what the hell is going on??#this NOT the same as those kids who were trapped in a mineshaft a few years ago or when ships get lost at sea #or when airplanes go missing #this is some sort of new situation we've discovered #the disco elysium skills are still arguing in my head btw #empathy is saying its bad to make jokes about these sorts of things but electrochemistry loves the rush of making fun of highly specific #tragedies that could only have ever happened to like. 30 people at most.
