Yeah I see that too.

Once in my life I achieved this feat. Never again. Was in a casual lobby of all places too hahaha

There are no bad dogs. Only bad trainers. Its a human problem.

I’d rephrase and ask "where is the most similarly advanced - relative to humans- intelligent life outside the solar system.

I wanna weed out all the low hanging fruit and find folks we might have a chance of talking to at some point.

🤘

Yeah, why is her hand purple?

Pro tip: It’s not.

Or is it Diana?

Yeah, kinda fucked up if you really think about it.

Does he know who Tate is? Tate might just recognize Fieri and is trying to chum it up with him.

🤷 A picture alone is not enough context in this case.

I’m wondering the same.

is there anything about this mission that demanded a manned spaceflight?

Yes, a lot actually.

You don’t just send astronauts into space for a photo op. You pair the photo op with critical testing of systems required to support the next iterations of the mission.

You’re criticizing NASA, a public entity, as if they are in the same club as the billionaires making phallus-shaped rockets and putting pop stars into space. They’re not the same.

Also, the Artemis Program’s entire budget so far, over the span of ~ a decade is 93 billion. The US spends 997 billion on its war machine every single year.

Maybe they could bomb, shoot, or invade 10% less in the future and give that money to support those in need?

One of the ways it could benefit humanity is to offload the destruction of our environment in pursuit of rare earth metals, natural gases, to a moon or planet where the environment does not support life.

Strip mining and fracking are actively and rapidly destroying our planet. Stopping those activities here would be a massive improvement to our chances of survival on Earth into the future.

Black metal. Lots of shitty people have used it as a vessel for their shitty views. I don’t support them financially, but god damn do some of them make great music.

One recognizable upper-crust name would be Varg Vikernes and his Burzum project. Absolute shitstain of a huma. But my god does he know how to craft atmosphere.

100% agree. The ending made zero sense to me as a kid, but playing it again last year and seeing how borderline prophetic some of its themes have become was absolutely mindblowing.

Yet so prescient. It’s wild how well the themes blend in with our current society.

Is this just willful ignorance, or…?

Maybe it works for you. I dunno. But letting people just simulate their unpalatable fantasies with software that is the pinnacle of enablement is a bad fucking mix.

Life and society is real. Pawning uncomfortable realities off on software that glazes you at every opportunity just accelerates the rate at which people emotionally, socially, and sexually stunt themselves.

So called “AI” is cancer for the mind. Combining that with letting your life be led and dictated by the whims of your dick is the equivalent of not thinking twice about taking harder and harder drugs because shit like weed or alcohol loses its appeal.

Sometimes its beneficial to pump the brakes and take a step back to think about how things might be affecting one’s life.

Also, I highly disagree that there’s a significant subset of dudes that are unfuckably gross by chance. Just look at that Reddit sub about dudes asking if its time to cut their absolutely shitty hair. Being that ignorant of your hygiene and outward appeal is a choice in many cases. The problem is that men are not raised to be self aware and when life comes to dunk on their social ineptitude they’d rather wallow in misery and blame anything and anyone else than do literally anything to help themselves.

There’s a lot of men out there that deserve empathetic and attentive help for their issues. There’s also a lot of men that are just straight-up negligent, selfish, and lazy. If you have any female friends, poll them about their experiences with men and you’ll realize just how fucking stark the situation is. It’s insane.

Are we using the US version of blue collar? If so that usually means folks doing manual/maintenance labour that are not a part of the middle class.
