Shhh, the people here want blood.

BTW, did you know that there's an endless stream of "satisfying" drama on YouTube? I heard that Mr. Beast is finally in some hot water!



The outage caused actual human deaths. Yeah, most people here probably think the priority is criminal justice, which you might call "blood" in a dishonest attempt to make us appear cynical when they're the ones accepting funny nerdy awards after causing so much chaos.

Maybe next time a doctor causes death because of their negligence, they should accept an "oopsie award"? It would be le funny lulz XD


In the cases where outages caused human deaths you’re 100% right that there should be worse consequences.

But in many cases, hopefully it’s also a lesson to the places where people were harmed, to never let one piece of software get in the path of life or death without redundancies.

(Not at all defending their screwup, I just don’t think EVERYONE deserves the same restitution, some more than others.)
