Lol it's probably one of the most famous weather delays in history.
-
If they knew their history, they wouldn't be repeating it.
-
You should put that on a bumper sticker!

History is written by the whiners.

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
-
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.
-
Oh I didn't expect that to be a thing on ads. It's clear nobody is in control at Twitter, any sane social platform would have killed that on ads.

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

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
-
This makes me think it might've been a satirical comment... but it's impossible to know...
-
this is the main reason I've been slowly removing sarcasm from my personality. it's not fun when so many people are (understandably) not in on the joke, or worse when you realize someone you were joking with was actually being completely serious. I'm just tired man, feels like half the worlds gone insane

you don't even have to know history to know this. you just have to watch the first episode of band of brothers

Never take advices from people wearing suits
-
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.
-
At one of my first jobs, they had a policy that you couldn't meet clients without a suit and (company) necktie. Since we mostly accompanied the sales department to sit there and shut up unless specifically asked a technically question, we took to calling it the "liesuit". After all, it's what you wore when lying to your customers.

Community Notes is the Ron Howard Narrator of Twitter.
-
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.
-
Plus, if we look at times when they didn't cancel when they should have, we get things like Challenger exploding on live TV.
-
Word, good example. That one traumatized me, I was four years old when I saw it go down, and had a terrible fear of countdown timers (e.g., microwave oven timer) for quite a while after that.

-
I mean tbf, he did say 'cancelled,' not delayed.
-
True...but because it's not something you cancel... Like you can live without a game... I don't recommend cancelling the killing of Nazis but maybe that's just me.
-
There was a window of opportunity where the tides were low and the weather was right. It's completely possible that if those two things didn't come together, it just couldn't happen. The English Channel has some nasty weather, too.
For those wondering, they needed the tides to be low in order to avoid beach defenses.
-
-
Things like D-Day can get postponed because of things like fog, too, let alone just what this guy meant by "rough weather".
-
Community notes can be used as a good narrator.
