That submarine imploding near the Titanic will never be not funny. Especially since the guy who designed it believed in the “move fast and break things” nonsense.
Every person on board paid a pretty penny to be on that sub, so no pity from me either (except perhaps for the teenager who was reportedly terrified to go on, but did it to please his rich prick father).
Probably? Someone posted it shortly after the actual oceangate situation happened, and it went straight to my downloads folder, lol. No idea what the original source was.
And to add on that R&D thing.
It’s supposed to be move fast and break things to learn what things are not working good enought so you can deliver a finished not-breaking-stuff-thing.
The photo of the shitty Logitech controller will never not make me laugh… Anyone who has ever handled a controller before knows those things are absolute garbage lol
This is a ridiculous statement. If a 40 year old can’t tell their parents no to a trip, that’s a problem with the 40 year old. At 19, even though you’re legally an adult, you’re probably still very reliant on your parents, don’t have a very high paying job, and likely don’t have your own place.
“officially” is an ambigious term here. Legally, 18 years old in the US. “completely” an adult? depends on a variety of factors. Most people under 25 aren’t allowed to rent a car by themselves in the US, so that brings up the age in regards to that. Regardless, I think this is a tangential question.
I think what you mean to ask, is at what age does a person make decisions for themselves completely, as we’re talking about this 19 year old being pressured into going into the sub. Well that depends on the situation of the person in question which is basically what I said in my previous post. Does this person live on their own? Provide income for themselves? How is their relationship with their parents? How confident is the person in themselves?
At 19 years old, many people are still reliant on their parents for many things, and also living with them. Arguments are way more impactful in this situation because you can’t just go home and leave, or you can’t ignore certain things because they may be ongoing or consistent problems. There’s probably already arguments happening in this relationship about how each person wants to handle different things. This may be a situation where the 19 year old thought, “I don’t want to cause a big argument over this” so they give in.
e: and I forgot where I was, i like that you are trying to say this 19 year old millionaire spawn has a low paying job, with no place.
You should at least reread things before commenting to not waste your time my previous post with added bold, and brackets:

We don’t know if this 19 year old has a high paying job. I doubt it since many people don’t have a degree at this age.

It’s the teenager that makes it sad.
Is this AI?
No this is Patrick
Nice.

Moving fast and breaking things can be a great R&D philosophy…when health and safety aren’t a concern or have been addressed.

Break things not humans

And he did break things
He was 19, he was an adult and able to refuse if he wanted.
When you were 19, did you have much of a say if your parents wanted to take you on a trip? Legally, sure. But in reality?
Bro you could say that about any age at that point.

So what age are you officially an adult? when do you come off the apron strings? when is it OK to finally treat someone like an adult?
If a 19 year old cant tell their parents no, TO A TRIP, that is a problem with them.

Having the legal right and feeling in any way empowered to exercise that right are wildly different things.
so what age does he become an adult like the rest of us? 25? or when he is empowered enough?
