Vote for which plane is the worst. Propaganda will be below the cut.
Which sucks more?
The Dassault Mercure
The DC-10
Voting ended onMay 23
Propaganda for the Dassault Mercure:
@specter-177: "Basically France's FIRST repsonse to the 737, but completely inadequate as a competitor, as while it could carry more passengers, it had a very short range (half the 737-200), which limited foreign sales, and only 12 were built, though it did stay in service for more than 20 years."
My additional commentary: This shitfuck of a regional jet not only didn't sell a single unit internationally, it only sold to Air Inter. Air Inter.
Propaganda for the DC-10:
@airbus-a380-800: "we all know about the two accidents that were caused by a poorly designed cargo door and the disaster where the engine fell off (!!) but i think other people rarely appreciate the fact that the one and only fatal concorde accident was CAUSED BY A DC-10. a piece of a dc-10 fell off on the runway and got run over by the concorde. there's not many planes that have the distinction of bringing down OTHER AIRPLANES with their structural problems"
@hesitant-airplane (abridged by me lol, thank you for the rant): "the doors weren't properly closed in two separate accidents. no one was able to see that because the latching system was in no way indicating if the door was closed properly or not. both accidents happened in the 70s. that latching system had to break in TWO DIFFERENT FLIGHTS before they did anything to stop this from happening. the company claimed to have "fixed" the issue, until TWO years later a worse accident happens with another DC-10 and everyone dies. and the cause is, again, the door hadn't closed properly. I mean, what the hell? they had fixed it? why would it happen again? ah, of course, safety is overlooked when there's profit...
I am not a fan of the tail engine. I know it's not the only aircraft with three engines, and with an engine on the tail, but I just hate this. both aesthetically and also because when the two accidents i mentioned earlier in the post happened, it immediately became unusable. and it broke in other accidents too. for example united airlines flight 232 happened because that one ugly engine suffered a failure. because of it the plane couldn't be controlled. why would anyone build a plane where if one engine has a failure the whole plane has to go with it?"
@milfmaekar: "in the late 70s my dad witnessed graffiti in a public bathroom which read "fly McDonnell Douglas, while stocks last" and everyone called it the DC Deathtrap. I don't think it gets much worse than that"
Anonymous: "does this really need an explanation? it's the dc-10."
@flavinbagel: "On November 20th, 1998, Pixar wide released its sophomore animated feature, "A Bug's Life," a lighthearted but surprisingly poignant family film about revolution in the face of seemingly unstoppable oppression. Good stuff, if only Dreamworks hadn't just released "Antz" a month prior, beating Pixar to the punch with a film that asks, "What if an ant was Woody Allen?" The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a bit like Antz (1998), if an animated Woody Allen movie was capable of claiming more than 1,200 human lives. Just as Lockheed Martin was poised to unveil one of the finest, most refined, and elegantly perfected airframes of the civil aviation world in its iconic L-1011 Tristar, McDonnell Douglas drops in at the 11th hour, trousers down, and unveils a trijet that is cheaper, shoddier, and, in an industry with no appetite for patience, available NOW. The DC-10 consumed the widebody airliner market, elbowing out Lockheed's pride and joy from market share and cementing its own legacy as the Plane That Couldn't Stop Falling Apart. Features included cargo doors that blew out, tail engines that exploded taking all hydraulics with them, and wing engines that liked to take little flights of their own. The legacy of the DC-10's design is STILL causing death and destruction as recently as December 2025. Embittered, Lockheed Martin swore off civil aviation projects for good, and thanks to a shoddy repair job, the L-1011 wasn't the only iconic aircraft cut short in its career by the DC-10 as it brought the beloved Concorde to its knees with timing that would expediently kill the supersonic jet age, along with 113 people. (Does the DC-10 hold the non-military record for the most casualties caused by an airplane they weren't even on?)"
ultimately I think the place where I will never see eye to eye with the "you can do whatever you want forever" people is in the precision of language. I do think it is genuinely important for words to have widely agreed upon definitions that are only flexible to the same degree that the rest of a given language is. a word whose definition is whatever suits the speakers preference and makes them the most comfortable doesn't have any real reason to exist and serves no linguistic function. i support anyone's desire to do whatever they want so long as it's not hurting anyone, but there are always going to be words that accurately describe what they're doing and ones that don't.
The thing about the moon is maybe you donât need to write a poem about the moon. The moonâs been done, weâve discussed it. Itâs a coin a mirror an eye a lantern in the darkness. Itâs a rock in space. Itâs the dang moon weâve all seen it! Is there something you can notice thatâs is more surprising than the moon???
Currently in the middle of our tgwdlm performances, this time as Tess (Ted) Spankoffski. Having a great time!
Since i'm somewhat born to play the asshole, i got the role with ease, tho i insisted on playing him as a woman, because i had some fun ideas to make the character more interesting.
For now it's working out great.
If you want to see our terrible german production, we'll be playing 3 more weekends, in Witten and Recklinghausen:
11.-12.04. Saalbau Witten , 18:00 Uhr
25.-26.04. Halle König Ludwig 1/2 in Recklinghausen, 18 Uhr
I'd like to propose my headcanon of pre-Eye Jon having aphantasia [the inability to create images in one's mind] so whenever he tried to visualise or picture some details within a statement he'd try and doodle the concept on a notepad, or look it up, or make a note of it and look through books in the Institute library on the topic in hopes there's pictures.
Then, after he starts serving the Beholding he just.. sees so clearly now. He doesn't even have to perfectly focus, he can just visualise things fine now.
Trying to explain even one ounce of class/caste/ethnic/religious dynamics in South Asia to somebody completely removed from it is so humbling like sometimes I forget how cartoonishly insane all of it is. The racism factory that churns out new types of racisms
There really is no equivalent to the amount of social hierarchies in South Asia and how intricate they are which makes sense for a variety of reasons but do you know how sad it is to try and explain new types of oppression to people. To introduce people to social hierarchies they couldnât have even dreamt up. The racism factory that produces new racisms
The notes on this 50 note post already shows how right I am. People donât ask my caste because they can tell based off of the most basic level shit related to my life within the first few minutes of meeting me. the only people who ask my caste are white people who have no idea the gravity of what theyâre saying
op feel free to tell me to shut up because I know I do not have a full grasp of this issue like I should BUT
Iâm a child of indian immigrants in the west and I thought I understood casteism because we definitely brought that shit over with us to the new country, but I donât think I really understood it until my dad was talking about his childhood.
we were talking about his childhood in the first place because heâs having some issues with his brothers right now (heâs the youngest kid and his brothers canât accept that heâs a grown man that makes his own decisions (heâs 60)) and he was talking about how they used to be so close and their childhood was so good and blessed but then he was like âbut maybe it was always rotten, maybe there was always this seed of judgement in usâ
he was talking about how they, an upper mid caste family in a tiny farming village, would hire low caste workers to help out during the harvest. as part of their wages, they would get meals from the family. but because they were low caste, they werenât allowed to use the same plates and cutlery as my family. it was thought that them using the dishes would permanently contaminate them. they werenât even allowed to keep their own âcontaminatedâ plates in the house. instead, they would take their meals on banana leaf plates. and I was like âok thatâs fucked up but banana leaf plates are commonly used by all castesâ
then my dad explained âif we were to give them sambar, they would dig a small hole in the ground and line it with leaves, and we would ladle the sambar into that. if they wanted water, we would ladle handfuls of it into their hands and they would drink it all and silently ask for the next ladle. this was part of my daily chores as a child, to feed grown men in such a degrading way. something about it felt wrong to me, but I was a child who couldnât understand why.â
I was already shocked at that but then he continued âonce, there were no banana leaves, so I went to give him the plate I was holding. the man wouldnât even take it from me, knowing how the rest of my family would react. when he accidentally brushed against it, I was surprised and dropped the plate. he then picked up the plate and built a small fire from the branches nearby and threw the plate in. these were steel plates, so they could survive that. he then used a different leaf to pick up the plate once it had cooled enough to give it back to me. not once had I even spoken or asked him to do this, but he knew that the plate needed to be purified before it entered our house. I think I was eight years old.â
I think this was coming up for him because he was already realizing that his family werenât always good people based on their interactions with him and this made him see their actions through a new light. my dad left the village and eventually the country fairly young so I think he hadnât interrogated his fond childhood memories like that. honestly, it made me think less of my family.
Iâve heard some people compare castes to different sects of christianity and I donât think thatâs a good comparison. thatâs bias based on thinking youâre the best. casteism is having a hierarchy and knowing exactly where you stand in that hierarchy and knowing that you canât change that no matter what. that you are dirty and that you were born dirty and that you will never be clean.
being mid caste means we get shit from brahmins, so I thought I understood. Iâd read about dalits, so I thought I understood. but that was the day I really started to understand.
For anyone whose completely removed from South Asian caste (like me) and struggle to understand it, here's a really excellent 2 hour video of caste, it's history and politics, by an Indian:
It's really in depth, cites research and is probably valuable to anyone who wants to learn more about the history, but still explains everything in a very accessible way. Basically everything in it was news to me, so if you know very little like me you'll definitely get very much out of it.
In the video he does actually compare Indian caste to several similar social categories in different places in the world, though I don't believe anywhere else this type of caste system has been as intricate (at least as far as we know, since our knowledge is limited of ancient societies). For example France and Spain had Cagots, who were basically completely indistinguishable by looks, language, religion etc. from the general population, except for being descendants of certain families and they were segregated, seen as impure and heavily discriminated till the 20th century. Japan has burakumin, who were class in feudal Japan, which consisted of professions considered impure, like slaughters, butchers, tanners and gravediggers. They were also indistinguishable from the general population, segregated and discriminated against. Even after feudalism their descendants continued to exist as a separate oppressed class until very late into 20th century and even in this century in some areas especially social discrimination continues.
Can we include darebee.com with ao3 and wikipedia on our list of really good nonprofits with excellent services that we stan?
It's a free, no sign-up, no ads fitness resource created by professionals who view this as activism (fitness should be accessible to everyone), and it's very thoughtful and thorough.
Features I really like:
- all instructions for workout routines are diagrammed on single pages with a clean, easy to read layout
- there's 30 or 60 day programs you can follow if you, like me, don't know what to do. they take you through a rotation of workouts so you're working different muscle groups on different day for a specific purpose
- there's so much variety and there's a filter so you can find the level and your goals and type of workout you wanna do
- you don't need any equipment
- some of the programs are RPGs or adventure stories! How's that for motivation. There's also badges and achievements or something but I haven't looked that closely at how that works yet
- they're nerds. they name workouts after D&D classes. There's a Lannistrr workout, a batcave workout, a witcher workout
For the people who are leaving and for those who donât want to scroll through 150 posts. I tagged some triggers I know of (like alcohol or GIFs), but I wouldnât claim it is 100% foolproof.
(reblog) means it is a reblogged post, (by OP) means the post was made by me. The videos and such are not my work :D
INTRODUCTION TO THE HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE/HUNGARIAN EXPLAINED
Nov 13: The Day of the Hungarian language. 17 Hungarian expressions. Why is this language difficult/easy to learn? (reblog)
The Hungarian Language. Incredible YouTube video by Langfocus. Basic grammar explained. [CC] (reblog) Or: watch it on YouTube.
Stuff you should know about Hungarian part 1. The alphabet. (reblog)
Why Hungarian? (reblog)
Hungarian is actually a very logical and rational language [meme]. (reblog)
A Germanâs opinion about how OP sounds like when he speaks Hungarian (by OP; short post)
Hungarian slang & everyday language: #1 general stuff
 Most things on this list are slang, but some are just words or expressions used commonly in everyday speech. It includes sample sentences, and, if possible, also the non-slang versions of those.
hali - hi
mizu - mi ĂșjsĂĄg? - whatâs up? (nowadays used rarer)
Mizu is also a name of a very well-known 2011 song. So well know that my classmate put it on in 2016 and 80% of us sang the first verse without a mistake. That doesnât mean itâs good, it was popular back then, and it left so many deep scars that ppl still remember this. Here, go watch it: Mizu The lyrics: dalszöveg
fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. itâs to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals. protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you arenât doing anything likely to get you arrested.
the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than youâd think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity. make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged. and strike. attack.
YES
iâm a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but itâs almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used canât be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word.
above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if theyâre collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that
Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money
TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc)
WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string âFuckOffâ. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I canât seem to find it
Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so thatâs good enough for me
