@Holo "I waved the flag thousands of time's, but, everyone saw the ice berg. But the captain ignored me and kept going for that iceberg."
This is the EU's final flag and it's about to head towards that iceberg. Get out whilst you can.
@C_Nile yes but, where's the debate ... I mean... Come in , drop the video but ask us questions so we can tell you if we agree or not.
I just don't think you want to know what I think. Hence the reason why you just come here and drop - the bomb and run.
@TEABAG!!! *confused American noises*
@Holo it's like if Mexico had a deal with south America to flood America with refugees .... Your reaction is ?
@TEABAG!!! joking aside what i meant was, i'm american, why are you telling me to get out of the EU lol, you guys can keep that globalist crap to yourselves
@Holo no the flag of warning that the EU is sinking. You need to work on your metaphors. Because everyone knows the Titanic sank from an Iceberg.
```"I waved the flag thousands of time's, but, everyone saw the ice berg. But the captain ignored me and kept going for that iceberg."

Get out whilst you can.``` I understand the titanic reference, which, btw is false, cause it was actually the dereliction of duty by the spotter that caused the wreck, but that's neither here nor there, you stated 'get out whilst you can'
No actually
It was the lack of binoculars
Too dark to see it before it was too late
apparently it was a number of reasons https://www.history.com/news/why-did-the-titanic-sink
Binoculars wouldn't have saved the Titanic.
Standard practice at the time was for lookouts only to use binoculars to focus in on an object already spotted. Looking 'round at night, they still would've used the Mk. I eyeball, and even then, the conditions of the North Atlantic in that region are ripe for what's known as "cold mirages." Thus, they wouldn't have seen the 'berg even with binoculars.
Didn't the titanic also have a major design flaw too? That being the water tight baffles that run throughout a ship? In the case of a puncture, a ship is still able to remain afloat due to each baffle being completely water tight and even with one willing the ship is still buoyant enough to remain afloat. However, the titanic wasn't watertight as above each baffle, it wasn't a solid roof and the water just kept filling the hull.
yeah IIRC
The watertight bulkheads only went as high as E Deck, yes. Thus, as she sank, the water cascaded over the top of the forward bulkheads, dooming the ship. Of course, no matter the situation, the ideal option is to NOT run into anything. As Aristotle so rightly put it: "A collision at sea will ruin your entire day."
the ideal option might have been to go head on into it
That would've just crumpled the bow, and possibly sprung seams all over the ship. She would've sunk like a stone.
if they'd slowed down enough it woulda just been a bump
Remember, her hull was riveted, not welded. And the steel used in hull plating AND rivets was high-sulpher, brittle steel.
only the front thingy would have been yeeted
That's why the berg did as much damage as she did.
well nu cuz there were holes all across the front 5
Dude, I just said the brittle steel was _why_ the berg did as much damage as it did. If her hull was welded, *Titanic* wouldn't have sunk.
The core lesson of the *Titanic* disaster is cascading failure.
hurr durr big stronk
i.e., chains of failure; if any one thing had not occurred, or happened differently, the disaster would not have happened.
**sinks**
I recently found this video on Youtube which help explain the philosophy of Ayn Rand and Objectivism, It is 2 hours long but it is actually really good, It is officially supposed to explain Bioshock but they link in Objectivism quite a lot because of the similarities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn_q-t8MrHo
@Goodwood of Dank™ Hence the reason why we use the Titanic as a reference to the European union, or anything with several flaws .
```I was paying attention to:
The core lesson of the Titanic disaster is cascading failure```
But I can't help but laugh because people actually debated my metaphor! And although I am profound and always up for a good bit of banter . It was pure art reading the discussion of how the Titanic sunk. Its like all those fans of the film . Arguing the ending . Its going to sink ... This is pointless!
Heh. I'm just really interested in the subject, have been since I was a kid.
@The Electric Lizard thank you because I really want to see if we can deeply use objectivism.
@Goodwood of Dank™ yes, but there were many faults and many reasons why it happened. It was a tragic reminder of watching out for great things, and take pride in your work.
Yep.
