Why am I reminded of one old comic? It went like this:

(Scientists on an Antarctic base)

*Scientist 1:* (Finishes talking about something normal)

*Scientist 2:* (Disheveled and visibly unhinged) "Well none of that shit matters. Do you know what happened to my stack of Playboy magazines?"

*Scientist 1:* (Now also suddenly disheveled and visibly unhinged, whips out a knife) "They're mine now!"

*Scientist 2:* (Also whips out a knife) "Oh yeah?"

*Scientist 1:* "Yeah! What are you gonna do about it?"

(Altercation ensues)

Oh yeah, they have a plan all right.

Now, the plan *isn't any good* and everyone gets screwed, even them.

But it *is,* technically speaking, a plan!

"I'm not *super* familiar with the lifestyles of the rich and famous. What, exactly, does a pool boy even *do?*"

>

"Uhhhh... The wife."

Organisational inertia. Planes are expensive, and getting them and qualified personnel to fly and maintain them is a long and complicated process for the airline companies (and the governments supporting the airlines).

They *get* the news about Boeing being crap, but they can't just reverse a decision in one day, because the decision to go with Boeing was made years or decades ago.

train cars only for women

Good thing nobody can actually suggest that in this day and age. Because that's a concept that makes everyone immediately go "Ooooh, how delightfully 1800s. Wait, why are we doing this, I thought we were better than that."

...If someone actually suggests that, have them be detained by a few chimney sweeps until the police arrives by horse carriage.

Side note, but:

I'm studying French but I don't speak it that well yet.

Oh wait:

I feel like I'm learning important day to day phrases here! Why don't they cover this stuff in language courses in this day and age, I wonder?

US Citizenship®, now with DLC! Get new exciting paintjobs for your guns! Yeah, it's a bit expensive, but think about how cool it looks!

I'm so sorry to hear that kind of horrible stuff. 😢 Things that are supposed to be beautiful should not lead to tragedies. (Also I'm very sorry, I don't know why I'm this emotional, probably caffeine overdose again)

Technically yes, but in favourable condition the film can persist for pretty long time. People have developed films that had been sitting in a camera/cartridge for literally a century and gotten decent results.

That's not how making babies works. That's not how any of this works!
