Grouchio posted:WTYP also covered the Costa Concordia except they forgave the captain as a miserable alcoholic and spent more energy hissing at the Symphony of the Seas cruise ship they ironically inspired me to want to try out. Schettino is a piece of poo poo who tried to downplay the disaster in real time and then once he realized the situation was rapidly deteriorating abandoned ship to save his own skin. However, these facts were also absolutely used by Carnival/Costa Cruises to scapegoat him as being singularly responsible for the entire disaster when deficiencies in staff training, emergency procedures, and mechanical defects with the ship's emergency generators all played huge roles as well. The cruise company is really fuckin' lucky Schettino visibly acted like a whimpering coward and resultingly became public enemy #1, because otherwise there would have been a much sharper focus on how they had not set up the ship or staff at all to deal with an actual emergency.

It never would have happened but for Schettino being a dickhead and he did literally NOTHING to improve the situation from the moment he gave the order, but it really was a systemic failure of basically everyone under his charge precipitated by a failure of the corporate culture of Carnival Cruise in and of itself.

Keep in mind, Schettino was 100% a creature born of Carnival's culture, a dipshit without qualifications who schmoozed with the right people in his career to get the rank of captain, and he's almost certainly not the only captain in their ranks that stupid and unqualified, just the one who made the news.

Someone who is a Navigation Officer in the Canadian Coast Guard "reacted" to Internet Historians video and they explained how Schettino got his position, and that he was totally qualified for it, but was a complete asshat and a lot of captains on the sea are exactly like that.

I imagine there has to be a fairly high level of douchebag rear end in a top hat required to be a captain on cruise liners and that sort of thing.

nine-gear crow posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh9KBwqGxTI I had not watched either WTYP's or IH's vidoes on the subject, I just remember going way down the rabbit hole on the event a few years ago and it becoming quickly apparent that Schettino's (very real) ineptitude and cowardice were used heavily as a shield by the cruise company to paper over their own cost-cutting fuckups. I'm watching the IH video now, I like how the 2nd Officer was the only one out of Captain/1st/2nd/3rd to avoid any legal punishment because he just flat out mutinied and told Schettino gently caress you, I'm ordering the engineering crew to safety before they drown or start a fire trying to keep the emergency generator manually going.

I watched a reaction video to Atun-Shei Films' CHECKMATE LINCOLNITES on how good the Confederate commanders were from a guy who I think is a history teacher of some stripe (Vlogging Through History) and he started getting super squirrely when Andrew would go on about their character especially as it pertained to slavery (because about all of them had slaves) complaining how he didn't see how it affected them being or not good leaders of men. Very Marge Simpson "It's true, but they shouldn't say it." Then I checked out another video of Vlogging and, gasp, he described himself as right of center!

The 7th Guest posted:i don't think Pewdiepie does a lot of quiet irish murmuring in his videos, I think screaming and hanging out with Ben Shapiro is kind of his thing Sure but he hits the same level of overreaction, treating every minor thing as if it was the end of the world, just switch the fake scares for despair.

Yeah but "this game I've waited my whole life to play being so bad it made me realize I don't even like the previous games" is a subject that warrants some introspective existential dread. "I didn't press the 'More Details' button when I bought my computer" does not.

We’re talking about the guy who brought the same level of existential dread to his Space Jam video here. Some of it may be genuine, but it’s clearly a bit.

Space Jam divisive, apparently. I've got half my feed telling me it's great and half telling me it's garbage. It's also got a huge critic-audience score gap on RT.
