Kase,

I mean tbf, he did say ‘cancelled,’ not delayed.

modifier,

This feels like a joke that anticipates the community notes as a punchline. I don’t frequent Twitter, but I have to imagine this is a burgeoning genre of comedy tweet

Nahdahar,

I haven’t seen it used that way yet, but seems like a clever meta. Honestly community notes might be the only good thing on the entire platform. My favorite is when there are community notes on ads.

DogWater,

If it is in fact a joke, this format has been around forever, it just has a new implementation here.

modifier,

Sure agreed; anyone who has seen Arrested Development has seen this basic dynamic play out a few dozen times, and that’s just one example.

root_beer,

Not just Operation Overlord (which I’m betting this jamoke doesn’t even know), but all kinds of military operations were postponed due to weather and other reasons. It’s how strategy works. I assume the extent of guy’s military expertise stops at shouting racist slurs while playing COD, and I even say this as a not-actually-an-expert type of person.

chatokun,

Plus, if we look at times when they didn’t cancel when they should have, we get things like Challenger exploding on live TV.

I don’t know who this is, but since he never studied war history or paid attention in school I know he’s probably a right wing grifter piece of shit

Rediphile,

Lol it’s probably one of the most famous weather delays in history.

ysjet,

If they knew their history, they wouldn’t be repeating it.

occhineri,

Never take advices from people wearing suits

wintermutehal,

Funny half related story. For a bit in my mid-20s I was a manager in training for enterprise (shit company, shit job, do not recommend). I’m this position, we were required to wear a suit, even while cleaning the cars. One day a dude came off the plane looking for a car, I was helping him and giving my speil and he pretty politely stopped me and said something to the effect of, that’s nice and all, but I don’t really trust dudes in suits. A little caught off guard, but attempting to be friendly, I said cool and let him do his thing. It still sticks with me. Something about a suit can say, I‘ve decided to look presentable so you believe me. Not sure if it’s a positive or negative, but he‘s had me thinking for ten years.

A suit says “I’m a businessman, and therefore a dishonest man.” That’s why all politicians and the majority of preachers wear suits.
