My only knowledge of WWII comes from Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, Schindler’s List, Conspiracy, Enemy at the Gates, Midway, Memphis Belle, Das Boot, Valkyrie, and Band of Brothers. In NONE of those historical accounts is this story told. It’s probably covered in that Inglourioueaus Basteards documentary, which I still have yet to see.

But is a surface covered with liquid gallium also considered wetted? Or liquid bromine? All I know is oil oils things, and cannot easily be made wet.

This is why I hate all the superhero movies of the past 20 years. Their ubiquity has made people subconsciously believe someone else out there with super powers will come to save the day, so it’s okay to continue sitting back helplessly and waiting.

Perceived omnipotence through excessive wealth, obsequious entourage of devoted followers eager for some reflected limelight, depthless entitlement from generations of a better than thou attitude.

The moat of excessive resources and power can isolate the humanity from the human.

The power and associated external adulation/validation by other elites is probably addictive as well, creating a toxic feedback loop.

So, I guess you could say, with increasing resources and power comes the temptation and easier ability to stop giving a crap about other people due to a perceived sense of infallibility and invincibility.

Perhaps when one gets to that level of orgabized crime and corruption, it becomes impossible to escape because you know too much about too many, so your only option is to continue along the same path (edit: or be killed by your associates as a liability to their guilt).

I can’t believe you would insult the noble giraffe species with such an insensitive comment.
