And their planes made with scrap parts are still flying around.

Edit: A lot of new .world users showing up with ChatGPT responses about how this was a conspiracy, reminds me of an article i read this week.

sounds like America

That's one

But what about

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Jamal_Khashoggi

And we still deal with the Saudis like it never happened

It's a very plausible conspiracy theory. I think it warrants way more investigation than it got.

Well. It is a conspiracy. A conspiracy theory, even! I have a very compelling theory that Boeing conspired to kill that guy.

Just because it's a conspiracy (we allege that people conspired to do something bad) theory (we don't have absolute, provable-before-a-judge-and-jury hard evidence) doesn't mean that it's false. Also daily reminder that the CIA purposefully adopted the term "conspiracy theory" to convince the public to dismiss allegations that they secretly did something bad by associating them with Bigfoot and aliens. At the same time as they were secretly drugging random members of the public with LSD and watching them freak out and fall out of windows.

Sounds like suicide to me. I feel like Boeing is still largely at fault for bringing him to that point though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

I would hope that if I publicly proclaimed, "I have no intent to commit suicide," before my suicide then people would..

..at a minimum, state, "Brother that guy proclaimed he had no intent to commit suicide," every time it was brought up.

..then ideally that additional scrutiny would be applied at a law enforcement level and the case would be handled with extra scrutiny.

So lacking the ideal, I'm here to remind you that just before his suicide he proclaimed, "I'm not going to commit suicide."

I'm extremely puzzled how this isn't brought up every time, people need to remember.

yeah that’s what they said!

doesn’t look like anything to me

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago

I'd be more likely to believe that Boeing tried to kill him if he didn't die

Reminds me of the Epstein thing. It could be AI. But people do love their conspiracy theories, too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

Unless there’s actual evidence that it’s AI, I think this is an absolutely absurd assumption to make.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well I certainly won't be purchasing any Boeing products in the near future.

who I do remember is Brock Turner, yes that guy.. the rapist Brock Turner. who now goes by the name of Allen Turner. that guy

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

You mean the pathetic rapist Brock Turner, who now goes by Allen Turner (also a pathetic rapist)?
