Good point between the two! I’d prefer being in neither if there was engine failure over mountainous terrain haha.

Imo, the biggest difference between the two is that fixed wing aircraft have a lot more time available to them to correct for a case of complete engine failure. While it would still be an issue over mountainous areas, the plane would certainly have more time to glide and find a place to land imo. (Assuming it’s at a higher altitude than a helo would normally travel). Not that this would make it easier or anything. Just that the total amount of time you have to correct for an engine failure is far greater in a fixed wing craft then a helo, generally speaking.

That being said, the training you’re mentioning is excellent, and I have nothing but respect for Helo pilots. If anything, they have to be more dialed in than fixed wing pilots as there’s a lot more that can go wrong quickly. So likewise, the training needed to be a good Helo pilot far exceeds the training needed to be a good fixed wing pilot. (At least imo). To that end, I would 100% rather be in a Helo with engine failure as it’s far more likely the pilot actually knows what to do, and is trained for it too 😉

Look, I know everyone here thinks Obama broke racists brains and shit went crazy post 2008. But the REAL reason shit went off the rails after 08 is imo, actually:

The '08 financial crisis + Occupy Wallstreet.

Remember Occupy Wallstreet? Isn’t it odd no one talks about it now that the Epstein files prove that 08 issues never got fixed, and the can just got kicked to now?

Basically, Occupy Wallstreet plus the online MeToo movement proved that social media could collectively and effectively unite individuals into pursuing their billionaire leaders into responsibility for the crimes they committed.

MeToo got Harvey Weinstein arrested for rape and was a thread that was getting pulled harder and harder that would have eventually lead to Epstein. And later the files that now prove a decades long financial circle jerk that was US politics and Wall Street.

Occupy Wallstreet was about as close as this country has ever gotten to holding their oligarchs accountable, and it was immediately turned into a joke by the paid media. Then more of a joke by paid online propagandists. Then more of a joke by paid celebrities and influencers.

Eventually, oligarchs discovered that the class consciousness that was forming over social media could be easily disrupted through control of that media.

Cue the following decades of billionaires buying up social media platforms and using their firehose of bullshit to destabilize our entire country into one that only talks about stupid pre-approved critiques.

Occupy Wallstreet spooked our oligarch leaders into polarizing the internet against itself so any further social consciousness movements like MeToo could never gain enough ground to threaten them again.

The racist bullshit Obama got was just the start of this. The point was to create seperate realities no one could join together on. Obama wasn’t born in the US according to half this country. Now, vaccines are seen as dangerous to half this country too. So mission fucking accomplished.

Reality is now whatever billionaires want it to be on social media, as our lizard brains can’t distinguish between our actual environment, and what social media we’ve surrounded ourselves with.

The reason they’re going all-in on AI is because the first Billionaire that reaches AGI can use it to basically warp reality through social media to their favor forever. So we’re currently in a race to see which billionaire Oligarch gets to control the world narrative, and therefore the world, through AI and social media. Something most Americans are financing with their tax dollars and don’t even know it because of how removed from reality they are.

100% well said. However, imo the biggest problem is doing this when failure actually happens over any terrain that isn’t flat for several hundred yards.

Engine failure while flying through mountains doesn’t provide enough room to descend and pull back up.

So recovering from critical failure is very dependant on the enviroment the pilot is flying in. Just wanted to add that on, as Helos are imo, basically designed to enter and exit the worst environments out there, making it difficult to counter mechanical issues even with proper training.

Well said. Do Democrats understand optics? Because I swear US propaganda has cooked their brains just as bad as MAGA. They’re asking Europe to do the job they completely failed at doing for a decade? Please shut the fuck up Dems, all you’re good for is asking others to do your jobs better than you can. FFS.

I sincerely hope this is satire because I’ve met people that think this way.

Guy was pissed he wasn’t as good at exploiting people as his VC friends. What a joke of a person.

Now do the US.

Far less changes in the same unreasonably short amount of time since these files dropped.

Can agree this is very effective at shutting them the fuck up. All of them have moved so incredibly far away from even a basic understanding of freedom that it becomes the easiest thing to point out with pretty much every talking point they have.

In America, the AVERAGE is $26000. That’s for middle of the road insurance for a family. I have multiple friends whose entire family pays well over 30k - 35k a year for medical insurance (2,800 a month)

Oh you mean how the whole stock market is propped up by the earnings of 7 companies who are all at earnings highs largely due to suddenly having revenue from Tariffs that forced Americans to pay up to 100% more for the enshitified products these companies barely provide?

Complete mystery as to why nearly every company on the S&P 500 is red except those 7 holding the clown show up. As soon as the bullshit Tariff tax liquidity that was robbed from Americans runs out, that all time high in the start market is going to crater into an all time low. Only thing great in front of America is a depression greater than the last one.

I’m sorry, did you have any more…

Just that you willingly bought another ticket I sold to the clown show you’re now performing an encore for.

You’re 0/3 in speaking clearly over acting like an insecure clown. Go ahead and make it 0/4 to prove you lack the skills to speak like an adult.

Oh thank you! 🙂 I was mostly answering your question about steams EULA and selling keys outside the platform. No expectation for you to send any money 😉. Completely understand with PayPal, etc, as I’d very much like to stop using them as well 🤘

So you’re glad you didn’t clarify your opinion because it let you insult others that asked?

In general people understand opinions better when they’re clearly stated. Deprioritizing that in favor of an opportunity to insult others makes you a bully.

Something I pegged you as immediately. Followed by you using every paragraph of your last response to prove me right. Hilarioulsy you did that, btw, starting with:

didn’t think until after writing it that anyone would be this profoundly stupid. Whoops.

Speaking of stupid, I laid a trap saying you would act this way. I even labeled it as a trap. And you still fell into it:

My last sentence:

By ALL means, respond with more insults to prove me right.

You, a hypocritical clown that can’t read:

you didn’t bother to read… you smarmy fucking oaf.

No. I just can’t read what your opinion is. And neither can anyone else. Probably because you admittedly left it unclear to create an opportunity to honk your clown nose.

you’re vapidly pretending to champion.

That’s you, the opposite of a champion, a bully.

I’ve never had a pathetically insecure clown bite so hard on such obvious bait. As intelligent as you think you are, no one will ever give a shit as long as you are a far bigger bully. Behaviour you’ve spent this entire conversation prioritizing over anything intelligent. I can easily learn what you’ve failed to tell me. I doubt you can act civil even after weeks of practice.

Go on and prove me right even more, clown.

Central Park’s early history is shocking to nobody who has, as in the post, a high school or undergraduate-level understanding of US history.

According to your first response, you think you’re an idiot for believing that:

"Local person discovers undergraduate gen-ed courses not designed to teach you literally everything about a subject.

You also now say there were 1600 evictions in central park, implying I’m downplaying that number by simplifying it as “dark,” when you yourself already downplayed that number far far more than I did as:

a village of 225 people… its existence had minimal impact on history going forward. 225 lived there.

So should I not care that only 225 people lived there, or be offended that I described that as “dark?”

You want to explain the math of how 1600 evictions can come from those 225 people?

You’ve literally done nothing but disagree with everyone who talks to you, including yourself. You’re not making a point, you’re punching down to seem better than others.

By ALL means, respond with more insults to prove me right.

You know this person already agrees with you right? Insulting their knowledge doesn’t do much to make them want to know more.

In particular because the point they are making is about the notariety and popularity of central park having such a dark past. Not that it’s the only place in the US with such a history, just one of the most popular. So one would imagine that with such popularity, it’s dark history would be familiar instead of buried like it is elsewhere in the country.

TL:DR: The point is that history can remain buried no matter how popular what buried it becomes. You would think more people would notice what’s underneath.

Yep! Co-op OR single player. Player 2 has an AI that scales as you level, so it’s still very fun as a solo experience 🙂

And it’s a shared screen, kinda like a 2 player beat em up.

And co-op works over Steam remote play. Only 1 copy of the game needed!

Actually, it’s not against the Steam EULA for me to sell Steam keys outside their platform. (As long as it’s me selling directly from my website). There even used to be 3rd party services that provided a way for you to sell your own steam keys on your own website without STEAM getting a cut. Last I checked, that was still an option with them. It’s somewhat of a loophole in their EULA, but they did use to encourage devs to sell keys themselves. Selling them through a third party is what breaks the EULA. But not private sales from the developer themselves.

Steam only has a problem is the dev sells more steam keys on their website then steam. Which I don’t think has happened yet.

Haha, thanks man! Completely understand. Keep us in mind around March 5th for related reasons 😉

Working on that actually! Specifically GoG and more outreach on Lemmy. And thanks for the advice! 🙂

We’re probably going to be deleting our Tiktok soon to likewise reduce use of US tech. Which really sucks because it’s the only place we have any traction atm.

Thank you! 🙂 Works great on Steam deck actually! 🙂 Just need to adjust the auto aim a bit in the options to get the best results.
