  • Trust in the person who has eyes on everything. It’s unfortunate they were the only atc working.

    More nuanced answer is probably something along the lines of compliance and blind trust in what the atc says but no validation on their part. Focus on getting to their call instead of looking both ways. Also I have no idea what an airplane looks like coming down the runway at night with all the other lights. Also also poor estimation of speed of an object coming right at you. That last ones the same issue people have with trains when they try to beat the train over the tracks.

    I can only make an educated guess why there was only one atc at that time but I’m sure it’ll turn political soon if it hasn’t already.




  • Preach!!! I tell everyone about enshitification and planned obsolescence. My examples are cereal and appliances… Take a look at the size of the cereal now and watch it for a few months… It won’t be the same when you look again but the price will be. Or appliances, you find the heating element goes out quickly on your dryer and replacement is really difficult. Maybe your phone slowed down even though you’ve done nothing different to it than surf the web.

    But when I talk about these I feel so old.










  • Ok but keep in mind I’m speaking to the televised order of release.

    Firefly.

    They released the series out of order so the very first episode already had you deep into the story without establishing anything or anyone. Once you streamed it or watched it on dvd it made more sense. Plus the choose not to air some episodes at all which also introduced plot points and by not airing those you ruin consistency.

    And I’ll add, the series is fantastic and serenity was a very nice bow to the short lived series. Highly recommend if you haven’t seen it.
