@Josho can't fly planes

Thats tragic actually... 200-300 people dead in a flash if thats real...
Never let Josh pilot your plane ladies and gentlemen

I played a combat game where I used to intentionally crash the plane into the enemy. So I got really good at crashing. The trick with crashing is to use a direct trajectory impact at large velocity.

She was NOT 18 then.... LOL It's just a thing I have with spoilt brats having hissy fits...

She actually suffered from depression after hearing about climate change.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg

"Thunberg says she first heard about climate change in 2011, when she was eight years old, and could not understand why so little was being done about it.[21] The situation made her depressed and as a result, at the age of 11, she stopped talking and eating much and lost ten kilograms (22 lb) in two months.[22] Eventually, she was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and selective mutism.[21] In one of her first speeches demanding climate action, Thunberg described the selective mutism aspect of her condition as meaning she "only speaks when necessary."[21]

Thunberg struggled with depression for three or four years before she began her school strike.[23] When she started protesting, her parents did not support her activism. Her father said he does not like her missing school but said: "[We] respect that she wants to make a stand. She can either sit at home and be really unhappy, or protest, and be happy."[24] Her diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome was made public nationwide in Sweden by her mother in May 2015, in order to help other families in a similar situation.[25] While acknowledging that her diagnosis "has limited me before", Thunberg does not view her Asperger's as an illness, and has instead called it her "superpower".[26] She was later described as being not only the best-known climate change activist, but also the best-known autism activist.[27] Thunberg commented in 2021 that many people in the Fridays for Future movement had autism, and were very inclusive and welcoming. She thinks that the reason for so many people with autism becoming climate activists is that they cannot look away, and have to tell the truth as they see it: "I know lots of people who have been depressed, and then they have joined the climate movement or Fridays for Future and have found a purpose in life and found friendship and a community that they are welcome in." She considers that the best thing that has come out of her activism has been friendship and happiness.[27]

For about two years, Thunberg challenged her parents to lower the family's carbon footprint and overall impact on the environment by becoming vegan, upcycling, and giving up flying.[17][28][29] She has said she tried showing them graphs and data, but when that did not work, she warned her family that they were stealing her future.[30] Giving up flying in part meant her mother had to give up her international career as an opera singer.[24] When interviewed in December 2019 by the BBC, her father said: "To be honest, (her mother) didn't do it to save the climate. She did it to save her child because she saw how much it meant to her, and then, when she did that, she saw how much (Greta) grew from that, how much energy she got from it."[31] Thunberg credits her parents' eventual response and lifestyle changes with giving her hope and belief that she could make a difference.[17] When asked in September 2021 whether she felt guilty about ending her mother's career she was surprised by the question: "It was her choice. I didn't make her do anything. I just provided her with the information to base her decision on."[27] The family story is recounted in the 2018 book Scenes from the Heart,[32] updated in 2020 as Our House Is on Fire: Scenes of a Family and a Planet in Crisis, with contributions from the girls, and the whole family credited as authors.[27]

Thunberg was a pupil at Franska Skolan, a private school in central Stockholm, from 2010 to 2018,[33][34] after which she transferred to Kringlaskolan, a school in Södertälje.[35] In 2019 she completed the 9th grade (the completion of lower secondary education in Sweden) with excellent grades, 14 As, and Bs in three subjects:[36] Swedish, home economics and physical education."

This is a most DISTURBING comment in light of the fact that I have asked Josho to take me for a spin SEVERAL times in the last few weeks. I have suddenly filled up my calendar for the next 5 years.... NO time to fly with Josho.... ANYMORE.... HAHAHA

Don't worry that's why they pack parachutes behind the pilot seats.

I just read an article from a university about using fear based tactics to warn people. Apparently a lot of the people in charge use fear tactics to warn people. And they wonder why they have a depression/mental health epidemic.

Why using fear to promote COVID-19 vaccination and mask wearing could backfire

You probably still remember public service ads that scared you: The cigarette smoker with throat cancer. The victims of a drunk driver. The guy who neglected his cholesterol lying in a morgue with a toe tag.

With new, highly transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2 now spreading, some health professionals have started calling for the use of similar fear-based strategies to persuade people to follow social distancing rules and get vaccinated.

There is compelling evidence that fear can change behavior, and there have been ethical arguments that using fear can be justified, particularly when threats are severe. As public health professors with expertise in history and ethics, we have been open in some situations to using fear in ways that help individuals understand the gravity of a crisis without creating stigma.

But while the pandemic stakes might justify using hard-hitting strategies, the nation’s social and political context right now might cause it to backfire.

Are things getting any better with the petrol shortage in UK?

Yes, since they called in the army on Monday to drive more of the tankers, it seems better where I am, not sure about the London area though

I haven’t done much yet, I get the grave yard shift because of the time differences ……….but I am sure I will gradually get more involved. I am more of a ministry type of person,
I like coming alongside people rather than disciplining ect

I'm rather short on TRUST at the moment... so seeing you and Truman here is comforting to me... perhaps because I know all our hearts are on the same page... Anyways.... I am happy about this new move within the forums.

The military came in to drive trucks and save the day... Hmmm... Reminds me of a prediction someone made...
The army has been used here to scare people, its now being used in Britain to save people...
Are we going to see more of this as a new normal now... The military filling positions in society that used to be held by civilians....
Slowly, slowly, more and more army personnel being used in our society until there is a literal marshal law... Hmmm
Ok you may feel better cos u have fuel now but this is a bad thing in the long run i reckon... No coincidence at all...
I fear this winter is going to be devastating up north... I hope im wrong and the experimental jabs actually works but we'll see i guess

Not being funny Cristo, but the army have often come in and helped in a crisis. I remember years and years ago when they came in and drove fire trucks, there was a strike in Liverpool.
When we get flooding they come in and help
When we had the hurricane in 1987 the army came in and replaced the nurses ( I was in having surgery ) So soldiers served our breakfast !
So it’s not unusual……….
