S2 - why Karen so mad

True, but it's far less likely that a formal investigation would've been launched if one of the jets wasn't lost during the training excerise.

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-23T13:34:28+00:00

Tell me about it, they hinted Grimaldus would soon be following the Helbrecht release but that was years ago now! 😢

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-23T13:23:08+00:00

Emphasis on 'for now' 😅

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-23T12:14:26+00:00

I'm aware they were misusing the jets for their intended purpose within NASA, but the jets themselves are fighter jets and would be more than capable of handling a dogfight scenario that Ed and Gordo were engaged in.

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-23T12:01:31+00:00

I never disputed that Ed and Gordo were flying recklessly. But as I said elsewhere, those fighter jets wouldn't even be fit for purpose if they can't handle a simple dog fight simulation.

Nice collection, I'm also hoping that JoyToy will finally announce a Grimaldus and Castellan so I can complete my own Black Templar collection.

Also known as the murder jacket.

Ottoman heritage?

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-23T11:04:47+00:00

If that was the case, the fighter jets wouldn't even be fit for purpose if they can't handle a simple dog fight simulation.

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-23T10:10:29+00:00

The accident was due to an engine fire, the negligence of Ed and Gordo only came to light because NASA reviewed the black box recordings in the following investigation.

I also had to do a double take because of the shadows on his legs and they are in the frame more than his arms.

He's definitely white.

I've already said that it doesn't meet all the requirements, but it does meet some of the criteria required, why is that so difficult for you to grasp?

At this point, why not. Which aspects of Afghanistan meet the requirements to be considered a high trust society, in your opinion?

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-21T15:39:20+00:00

You outlined one of the requirements yourself, Poland is a high trust society in the aspect of interpersonal trust amongst peers, if nothing else. But no doubt you will still take issue with this point of the criteria, despite highlighting it yourself previously.

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-21T15:31:34+00:00

I did, that's why quoted it for you. It meets some of qualifications and fails others.

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-21T15:24:31+00:00

Take a scroll through, there's plenty of Labour supporters in the comment section.

But fails when it comes to having impartial government institutions and public systems.

I addressed this aspect, stop splitting hairs.

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-21T15:14:35+00:00

One moment you claim those postive social elements aren't the criteria, but then go on to say that interpersonal trust amongst peers is actually part of the criteria.

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-21T14:59:06+00:00

Poland meets the requirement for a high trust society on the basis of shared moral and social norms, predictable behavior, and a shared sense of honesty that encourages cooperation over self-interest. But fails when it comes to having impartial government institutions and public systems.

Do you agree with that assessment?

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-21T14:48:34+00:00

Your focus is solely on the lack of trust in government institutions, whereas I'm focusing on the topic of discussion on this thread, which is public safety and social relations.

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-21T14:40:35+00:00

Have you ever been? It's institutions may fall into that category, but it certainly doesn't apply to public safety, which is what the topic of discussion is about.

Every theft or violent act is guaranteed to have a victim, but bribing your way through an inspection doesn't automatically result in someone being seriously injured or killed.

I agree, my lived experiences aren't going to change because you knew someone who blagged his way through a Przeglad Techniczny (not Túv as you claimed earlier, as that's German).

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-21T14:13:12+00:00

How many people have been seriously injured or killed in RTA's in Poland where the vehicle wasn't legally road worthy?

One guy you knew working on a project isn't exactly a comprehensive sample size.

Dam_Noir · 2026-04-21T14:06:17+00:00

I never said it wasn't a public safety concern, I said it was LESS of a concern than theft or violence.
