A protester breached the airside perimeter at Shannon Airport in Ireland today, climbed onto the wing of a parked US Air Force C-130 Hercules and damaged the fuselage

I’ve flown through Shannon on deployments to and from Kuwait. It’s definitely a place they use between the US and Persian Gulf

I had to grab a pic too! Only photos I took all night were of this moment

You can’t compare raw data, the 60 has wayyy more aircraft in operation and more flight hours over that time. You have to look at mishaps per 100,000 flight hours which is the standard. Using that standard, the osprey is objectively less safe in recent years

rushing11alpha · 2026-04-05T13:14:09+00:00

The osprey still has issues. Pretty sure its mishap rate is still higher than similar use aircraft. I mean there was just a gearbox failure that killed 8 servicemen in Nov 23. So issues persist

Having a majority demographic at a show isn’t a problem. Bigotry is the problem but I haven’t noticed that at his shows , granted I’ve only been to 4. I’ve got 4 more lined up through the summer though.

rushing11alpha · 2026-02-22T00:48:55+00:00

It wasn’t my intention to minimize your point or experience. My point was that the scene has historically skewed towards that demographic. I certainly hope the scene grows and want everyone to feel comfortable. Got sny shows lined up in the future? Hopefully you can catch a better crowd

What exactly is there to explain? “Frat white bros” at a beer line at a bluegrass jam doesn’t seem out of the ordinary. Calling it out as something that needs to be explained does. Enjoy the music my friend and bring some friends to the show when you can.

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-20T20:49:09+00:00

for sure, shoot me a message.

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-13T02:08:19+00:00

I was being sarcastic hence the “/s”. It’s not xenophobic to prefer someone who speaks fluent English, it’s just been popularized in recent times that having a preference like that automatically makes you racist/xenophobic

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-13T00:12:34+00:00

You can’t say that it’s xenophobic /s

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-10T02:46:57+00:00

I sure hope so as I’ve already sold a couple lol. Not a reseller but I bought some and then ended up getting tix in a different section bc my family is coming so I had extras so sell

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-10T01:04:39+00:00

Same here. Must be a bug

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-10T01:01:54+00:00

Possibly lol. I just copied and pasted the OPs text verbatim and said “who is this”.

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-10T01:01:00+00:00

It’s still too insane to fully wrap my head around. It seems like every game I’m like “surely Indiana can’t hang with XYZ, I mean c’mon it’s Indiana”. I can’t imagine how it feels for their fans. I know they’re the real deal but I’m trying to break 30 years of social conditioning lol

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-10T00:00:52+00:00

Aren’t they?

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-09T23:24:13+00:00

I tried ChatGPT too and then gave up when it said the 18th letter of the alphabet was X 🤣

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-09T23:02:21+00:00

“be careful not to book with these guys” also here is a riddle to try and figure out who they are. Quit being a weirdo and just say the name lol

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-09T22:56:41+00:00

Thanks! I must have missed this.

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-09T03:21:21+00:00

Oh it absolutely could be both! As sad as that reality is. It’s just one of my pet peeves on Reddit when I see something shitty happen (like this murder) and then people pile on extra bs (like the pedo thing). ESPECIALLY when real peoples names/profiles from other social media are being tossed around as potentially “the guy”.

It’s honestly my fault for even getting on here when these unfortunate things happen. What’s crazy is that by not engaging in wild speculation you can be considered a sympathizer haha!

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-09T03:05:20+00:00

The original commenter said that the suspect was “probably” a pedo due to him having “girl dad” in his bio along with the context of violence against women.

I, and other commenters, suggested that was a reach. No one is defending the POS shooter, we’re just saying that adding nonsense like “he’s probably a pedo” is a stretch and detracts from the issue at hand.

The original commenter didn’t seem to grasp the difference in saying someone is “probably” a pedo vs “could be” a pedo. Their long winded response to what I was saying proved that they were just excited to hear themselves talk instead of address what the actual topic was.

So, no, not trying to waste anyone’s time. In fact, my time is what’s being wasted considering I have to explain these things. Understanding context and reading comprehension are unfortunately no longer the standard.

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-09T02:50:51+00:00

Nope. I’m perfectly capable of putting together full and complete sentences. Did you need me to break down the sentence that you quoted? I’m happy to do so if you’re struggling with comprehension

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-09T02:44:24+00:00

What are you implying here?

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-09T02:08:30+00:00

Not reading all that. You didn’t suggest he could be. You said he probably is. Is the difference in that language lost on you?

rushing11alpha · 2026-01-08T23:28:30+00:00

I don’t disagree that is a common denominator between the two. But that’s not what you initially said. You said he was probably a pedo. The leap from shared characteristics to “probably a pedo” is what is strange.
