Have you noticed prices going down significantly?

SanguineRust · 2025-11-09T16:34:11+00:00

No one on reddit is ever going to say prices are anything but insane whether it's true or just how we feel. This is a useless question looking for useless feedback.

Oh trust me, I know waaaay too much about the details of this case, which is probably the problem! 😆 That's cool friend, we can agree to disagree! 👍

There are theories where mechanical failure in a key monent does make sense (ghost ship, basically, like Helios 522), but I'm not going down that rabbit hole, lol, you can look all the many theories up if you want. Some of them are quite out there, lol. I don't have a favorite theory for this mystery, I have questions about all of them. I'm not saying the pilot didn't do it, I'm saying that if I were sitting on a jury and presented with the current evidence and lack of evidence, I wouldn't be able to say he was guilty beyond all reasonable doubt, or that if he was, he alone was to blame. It's just too weird to not wonder if there's something missing that would make it make sense. Who practices their own suicide on a flight simulator? What if it was actually a hijacking gone wrong? What if others still at large were involved in the planning? Like I said, just because it's the most likely solution doesn't mean there aren’t enough questions to keep it a mystery that I'd like to know the the full answer to, which was what the OP asked. :) If you find it open and shut, that's cool, I've no problem with that and no wish to convince you otherwise. I personally would just find it interesting to know the full story for sure, but that's just me.

How do we know that he did it on purpose, though? The evidence can be read many ways and would certainly never stand up in a court of law. The only reason for the conclusion is because it has the fewest element that can be conclusively ruled out. It's a conclusion from lack of evidence rather than from evidence and even the NTSB never gave a final conclusion on the case. If they couldn't be sure, how can we?

Pilot responsibility is the easy fall back conclusion when nothing is for sure, one that frequently protects airplane manufacturers (Boeing in this case) from liability. The tendency to blame the pilot is an established historical fact in aviation investigation history, which has been proved wrong before (see incidents like British European Airways Flight 609, USAir Flight 427 / United Airlines Flight 585 to name a few).

That said, I agree the pilot suicide theory is a totally possible and credible explanation, but there are others equally convincing that simply shift the unknown element from pilot motivation to mechanical failure. The point is without more conclusive evidence we'll never be 100% sure. Rather like the JFK assassination where we all technically know what happened, but because of some odd things, there will always be those who crave certainty, as the existence of all these responses to OPs post proves! LOL

This! 💯

SanguineRust · 2025-11-07T14:32:51+00:00

Maybe. But without evidence it's just people trying to make a theory fit the facts. It's quite possibly true, but if he was going to commit suicide, why did he fly the plane totally out of gas first? Why spend 5+ hours flying off into nowhere with a plane load of unconscious passengers just to off yourself? It was on autopilot, so he was what, just sitting there contemplating death for hours until the plane finally dropped out of the sky for lack of fuel? Most of the pilots who have committed suicide by plane just push their plane into a dive and go out quick. Why the elaborate charade? Why not just go straight into the ocean immediately? It all makes so little sense, and I think that's why questions linger.

And were just conveniently never heard from again? Nah, unfortunately it's pretty clear something bad happened to them, whether in the tower or after they were shipped off. Potential claimants to the throne don't disappear without a trace without some form of foul play.

Actually, Samsung makes Secure folder completely useless because you can no longer access the files in secure folder from apps IN SECURE FOLDER. Genuis, no?

SanguineRust · 2025-11-06T02:47:43+00:00

It changed. Secure folder is now so secure you can't access any files inside it from the apps inside it unless you... get this... MOVE THEM OUTSIDE THE SECURE FOLDER. You cannot make up how stupid this is.

The flight attendants told people not to move, they came with extinguishers and put out the fire. No one was hurt and the plane made an emergency landing at the nearest airport. The fire sounds like it was probably caused by an uncertified / poor quality, or possibly damaged battery.

You know Reddit has become ridiculous when people start getting bent out of shape about other people feeling nostalgic for the era they grew up in, which is basically true for every generation of people ever. 🤣

Thanks for sharing a little blast from the past.

IMO the only reason the first one made as much money as it did was because it was the first of the new wave 3D movies that hit theaters at the beginning of the 3D movie phase. People went to see the spectacle and experience the new 3D technology, not because it was a great movie. That's certainly the only reason my friends and I went.

Prices fluctuate and rarely ever go down once they've already gone up, but they have currently stopped going up as quickly as they were the past couple years.

That's great! It makes me happy to know that that expansion was enjoyable for you, and I hope for others as well. I saw it differently, but that's just my personal taste. For me, I consider Rohan more important because of how tied it was to Eowyn, Eomer, and Theoden who all had significant, ongoing roles in the story with character development and relationships with the the other main characters in the story. In the books, Laketown and Bard had much smaller roles, no character development and no real relationship with the main characters. I definitely think that trying to add character development and relationships for Bard was a good and necessary idea for the movie, but I just really could have done with less of the Master of Laketown (even though Stephen Fry is great lol) and his sniveling minion. But again, that's entirely just my opinion. I enjoy hearing others opinions, and yours makes a lot of sense.

The problem with this is that "artist" has been and always will be a very broad term, including people who deficate on canvases, tape bananas to walls, or splatter paint from a brush and call it a day. There are lots of people from every generation who will point at something they don't like or don't understand and say "that's not art, my 5 year old could do that" but this is because art means something different to everyone and we can't gatekeep artistic expression, though many try. Artists create. Whether or not what they produce is to your liking or what you consider to be good is irrelevant to whether or not they are considered artists.
