I suppose. However this line then doesn’t sit right:

[The] student pilot named Rosario already had a private pilot license but was still building up her flying hours

Strictly speaking she was in the role of a student, but it’s not like she didn’t know what she was doing. If she already had a private pilot licence, what else is there to assume?

Despite the shocking turn of events, Rosario managed to… safely bring the Cessna back to the airfield without damaging the aircraft.

What a bizarre thing to say. Well, phew, I guess. Lucky the aircraft wasn’t damaged by the single female pilot who already had her licence and was just building up hours. Me and all other males in the world would have expected her woman-brain to take over and cause her to panic-land while doing a backflip and simultaneously rolling her ankle or some shit apparently.

I’m seriously struggling to understand why “without damaging the aircraft” was added to the sentence.

Are you not entertained??

Putting the moron in oxymoron here

That just what the Russians want you to think!

I once met some German tourists while I was at a hostel in Adelaide. They told me they’d been told Goon Bag was Aboriginal for pillow and I laughed for the rest of the night. And most of the next day.

Why was the sand wet?

The sea weed.

You might say he’s barking up the wrong bush.

Huh. All I can see is two pictures of buttholes.

SLAMMED!

You talk loud and don’t shut the fuck up. Yes, you have an opinion on everything. Yes, you think your country’s great. Yes, you think you are great also. Shut up.

I remember being on holiday in Thailand, visiting a village that very clearly had set aside an area as a market for tourists. The Americans decided to have a conversation between one area and another about heading off to look at the village school or whatever. EVERYBODY ELSE, locals and tourists, could tell this specific area was for tourists, but the USAians just couldn’t read the room and had to loudly talk about it. JFC it was painful to witness.

You sank my battleship!

It’s man-cow-pig!

Bet it can still set itself on fire though.

Looser regulations.

But loser regulations on quite a lot of things too.

Carry on.

There’s a great episode of The Crown that sums it up for me. Prince Phillip is overly excited to meet the astronauts from Apollo 11 during their royal visit and prepares a lot of deep and philosophical questions for them to discuss. However upon meeting them he is bitterly disappointed to find they are just normal humans that find fart jokes funny.

Never meet your heroes means exactly this: you will come to realise the person you look up to and hold in high esteem is just another person with typical person problems, if not have other character traits you despise. They’ve done something you find admirable, that’s great! But leave the relationship there.

Ahhh, the irony of doing things the Israeli way.

And of all things, an email client?? What the fuck are they doing?

Trying to imagine Jim Lovell’s reaction when Apollo 13 blue-screens and has to reboot. What an amateurish shitshow NASA has become.

In the scheme of things this is a pretty important brain fart, considering he has finally caught up to where everyone else was three weeks ago.
