Something tells me the web team quit and nobody has the password to update the site yet.

Ever since the incident, their marketing team has been under a lot of pressure...

That's not funny. There are people out there who were absolutely crushed by this situation.

I just don't see the humor in people losing loved ones. If it were me going through it, honestly, I think my whole life would just implode.

C'mon @ivanafterall. You can't go so hard on users. They're just getting their feet wet in the Fediverse and your tone could make them feel they can't have a submersible experience into the new culture. Then again, your comment won't be lost in a vast ocean of noise.

This whole thread is depressing.

Once when driving through Pakistan, I stopped at Ghotki, the last town in Sindh before Punjab, and home of a major Engro Chemicals plant. Shahzada (translates to Prince) Dawood, heir of Dawood Hercules, and VC of their subsidiary Engro Corp was on the Titan.

Let me tell you the absolute desolation and squalor in Ghotki and the surrounding area and the world of difference in the gated community is dizzying. Like you go from stick think barefoot kids running around with tires propelled by sticks with garbage burning in the unpaved street to brick paved streets with kids racing electric scooters munching on KFC which doesn't even charge the residents of the community but is payed for by the company.
