Physical security is the same, which is why any decent guard/bouncer will not prevent minor things, only stop it when it does happen.

Y2K was like this. Yeah, not much happened because we did a shit ton to fix things.

We exited the aircraft at 20,000ft. we've made it to 5000ft ant we're fine, do we really still need this parachute?

Working in IT is like:
"Nothing is broken, what are we even paying you for?"

Safety measures at work, training, vaccines, these are all expensive things for the boss, but they protect the working class, that's why they want to remove them. Stand up for your rights!

2 years of my life testing airline res systems and shipping fixes around the world. 2 years before y2k I hasten to add!

I no longer care for others and their medical needs for non vaxxers. Get vaccinated seek any actual scientific help. Let everyone else die from the choices.

Everything is working: “why do we pay you??”

Don't forget the ozone layer and y2k.

Ran across a new manga on that basis last week "From Useless to Peerless: A Barrier Mage's Journey"

There's an anime called Bofuri about a girl who plays a tank in a VR MMO, but puts 100% of her stat points into defense because she doesn't like pain. Her weird play style, combined with her defense build, end up making her one of the most comically overpowered characters in the game. Much to the chagrin of the developers. Definitely a decent series if you're looking for just a silly, fun story instead of something super serious.
myotteraccount
Saw the first season and it was ok, second season is in the queue i'll get to eventually. I'm currently watching Shangri-La Frontier which I highly recommend. It's also based around someone playing a VR MMO. Way more fun though. Roughly opposite play style from Bofuri as mc goes for speed and attack as they actually have a lot of VR experience from playing other VR games.

I was hired to handle a six-month backlog of IT tickets, along with 12 others. A year later, backlog handled, all up to date on current tickets. Move to a new account, heard they laid off all but one. I look forward to then scrambling for techs when they're six months behind, again.

I'm rewatching Game of Thrones. The great firewall of Westeros.

I guess one could begin to forgive (and forget?) season 8 and start to rewatch GoT… how is it holding up, knowing what you know today?
MelfsAcidArrow
It’s fine. It works better in a row vs week by week.
Zetor
It's good. I'm going to ignore the last seasons.
korndogg83
Cool. Enjoy!
ElbowDeepInAGoblin
Every other season's fine and even the last one's just rushed. People are ridiculous.

I have tried, hard to get reinvested when you know the hot steaming pile of shit is inching closer and closer. Can't make it past the red wedding without losing interest anymore.

It's how old Musky views safety: not necessary.
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
It's how Musk views the safety of others, like his workers or customers. I assure you he treats his own safety differently.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Tesla is structured around this concept because this is how he views the world.
Crowlands
Elon Musk stripped safety procedures from Tesla factories because thibgs like safety tape markings were in yellow, and he doesn't like the color.
Yes, people died because of this.
No, the American legal system will not do shit about this.
maaaasie
That's an even wore reason. And I thought it could not possibly get worse!

Nanoha had a lock on her exact location (and a live feed, apparently via some manner of seeker drone). There was nowhere Quattro could flee that a Blaster 3 Divine Buster could not follow.

isnt this the show that started out as a pretty normal magical girl anime then went hard on the king violence in the above gif?
malakim
Yesn't. Nanoha has been all about befriending through superior firepower from the start.

What's the sauce?
TMCybersnark
It's one of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series (there's a whole franchise, so I'm not sure which this is).

"We don't need safety, it's too expensive and everything just needs to use common sense."
Zixtank
I can promise you with 100% certainty that common sense is present for less than a few minutes in most workplaces until an accident occurs. Then, suddenly everyone has 20/20 hindsight.
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
Common sense conflicts with the time schedule forced upon the workforce by management to reach the unrealistic goals set by the investors.

Common sense only works when the overwhelming majority possess it, and unfortunately that's frequently not the case. Hence the countless warning labels on everything out there against doing unbelievably stupid things with the item.
Ultratoxic
Also there are a bunch of things that are dangerous about industrial machines that might NOT be common sense. Maybe you thought of not breathing this or that dust or properly ventilating an area but the common worker may not. That's why standards and regulations are important
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
If common sense would work, we would not have ended up with our current set of democratically elected world leaders.
InkGoat
It's not about the worker's common sense. It's the worker's paycheck, health insurance, and housing vs the owner's profit motive to tell the worker to ignore common sense to do something dangerous.
Hellscourge
All the rules in OSHA are written in the blood of the workers, because some GENIUS thought it would be ok to store hazardous material right next to the sleeping cabins to safe a few bucks.
As they say.

Places too...we have so many signs up at the Halona blowhole, but someone will inevitably think it's funny to sit on it. Then they get sucked in, and their family sues the city. The city settles, and more signs go up. *sighs*
ElbowDeepInAGoblin
I don't know what "the Halona blowhole" is but my first thought was 'People put their dicks in it.'
skincancerisfun
Are people sitting on it? This is the kind of thing that gets said to make people look extra stupid. I looked it up briefly, and the article I read said that people climb the fence to get a closer look, to "feel" the spray. But underestimate the power of the water when it drains, so they get knocked off their feet and sucked into the tube. That is much more understandable to me
