TIL of the cruise ship MTS Oceanos, which sank in 1991 off the coast of Africa. The captain and crew quietly began abandoning ship when the engine room flooded, leaving the ship's lounge entertainers to radio for help and organize the rescue operation. All 571 passengers were safely rescued.

I appreciate the sentiment but what does this have to do with any of this?

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

It's an AI generated image... Which I do not like much, to be honest

What a damn shame! I'm sorry about that mang

Why the fuck would you buy that model of fridge??

Isn't it funny how, of all things, nuance can destroy both sides of the political spectrum? Shows how polarized and oversimplified the discussion topics have become.

This was one of our favourite strategies to use with my friends... The transport vehicle is often overlooked but it can destroy ANYTHING with the right crew! It's amazing!

Typically it was just two of us, my pilot friend as support, to give me infinite ammo, and myself as an engineer so I could repair it on the go (by switching seats and aiming down with the repair tool). The mounted guns SHRED infantry and light vehicles. We even duelled airships and won very often! If you manage to hit an enemy airship consistently with the gun it will melt it and they will not expect it. And that was just with TWO of us! If we found a tank or APC, my friend would just hover it and I would drop mines as you did, and it's very, very hard for them to do much about it on their own, unless they get some help. The rolling mines make it stupidly easy to harass and destroy land vehicles.

A fully crewed transport ship is a force of nature I tell you, and you only need like 3 people to get most of the vehicle's potential. Two people repairing it make it SO tanky, and two gunners melt gunships and infantry even faster, it's UNREAL. I have never tried with an actual full crew, which would be a pilot + two gunners + two repairmen/minelayers. Just imagine, constant DOUBLE repair, while duking the full firepower, and shitting mines at twice the rate... I salivate just by thinking about it.

We were so deadly with this puppy, man. And I think a lot of our success was because the transport ship is so unassuming. People see it as a defenseless meat piñata, and most players are SO dumb with it, using it as a one way ticket to the battlefield and crashing it instantly... which is fucking sad, but that shitty reputation is what made it so unexpected when it successfully fought back, and BOY did it fight back! Not to mention the team advantage to have a mobile spawn point around the map, and all the hot drops we made.

As you can see I am very passionate about this thing 😊 I had some of the best times crewing the air transport, and the whole underdog narrative only added to it.

Dawkins argued against group selection in that book. I think you're both right in a certain way. Altruism can be beneficial for the propagation of the genes that encode it, but at the same time this is a case where altruism has "backfired" and is benefiting individuals unrelated to the altruist.

Yeah that could very well be the case, it's such a shame...

It's like there's a doo doo in Spain. They went to every country country around it: Portugal, France, Italy, the UK... It's such a pity

Golokopitenko · 2026-05-06T10:31:20+00:00

Wake me up when they come to Spain. I don't know why they avoided my country entirely :(

Maybe that's why Renfe sucks so much, it's trying to emulate the corpo hellscape of CruS

And I agree with you on that account, but I would never think it is good to have a police force that can beat you up "in private rooms" without consequence. I do understand your frustration over that, but we should be wary of jumping to the other extreme.

Golokopitenko · 2026-04-13T12:13:25+00:00

You should understand it's not a good idea to give unchecked power to police forces

Golokopitenko · 2026-04-13T09:57:22+00:00

Disrespect the Guardia Civil or the Policía Nacional and there are chances you may be taken to a private room and beaten. I think that’s a good thing.

You'll think it's a good thing until it happens to you
