she/they
I’m not too timid, I just don’t know enough about the other places on the internet or the behind the scenes on Reddit to say much conclusively
Why should I defend reddit? It was a shithole that only got worse as time went on
At some point I intentionally stopped going and interacting with the darker sides of reddit to protect my own sanity, though. So yes, I was effectively siloed from it. But I’m not shocked, far from it
We’re definitively not getting any space hotels within a decade
Two decades however? Possible. I do think we will see the buildup of a lot more space infrastructure this century, but it all depends upon how much the world cares about space and its development
They both tried to cheat on each other instead of, you know, communicating and respecting each other
It’s probably not a stretch to say that reddit was instrumental in the ride of the modern alt-reich movement
It’s like gaining eldritch knowledge. It unlocks certain aspects of reality unseen before now, at the cost of some of your sanity, driving you mad with understanding. And everyone around you thinks you’ve lost your mind
It is very relevant yeah. They hated Kirk, and it very well may be that the shooter was a groyper
This has happened to me multiple times. And yes, I did consider it to be a serious issue. It’s too abusive of a feature
People don’t want to lug a camera all over the place just in case they want a good photo, they want to be able to make a decent photo with the small brick that they always have with them anyway
And I am one of them. While I might not care too much about the highest quality pictures, I would still appreciate better ones if possible
That really is not possible when the news directly target you. Being able to ignore the news is a privilege
I thought I was the only one with this problem. I always kept confusing Kirk and Shapiro in my head
Depending on how you define desire, yes absolutely. I’d argue that bacteria don’t have desires per say, but more instincts and basically being alive automatons.
I will only accept an airgapped locally run and true FOSS sexbot in my home!!
I’ve literally seen people argue that since breast milk is unpasteurized then raw cow milk is fine
A joke doesn’t work when it’s indistinguishable from the stuff that people actually say
You are on a written medium, where there is no tone, body language, or otherwise wider context. What do you expect to happen? People can’t read your mind
There are other people that have made the cyborg point than Elon. It’s a relatively common sentiment
If the rule 1 and 2 are “be kind” and “a decent person” then sure
You just need to find the right people, and it helps if you do stuff such as open relationships. But chances are most don’t
Do you know how statistics work? They don’t ask literally everybody, you know. They take a representative sample and extrapolate from that, together with calculated error margins (which are typically not shown in news reporting on it, but the study itself will have it)
It’s the “Pills that make you green” comic, and it’s an intentionally thinly veiled metaphor on trans people
Yeah for sure, as I said, it hinges upon how interested we actually are in space
But modern computers and manufacturing techniques have made reusable rockets possible, and they exist now, so things are not quite the same as they used to be
Another thing though, our space infrastructure has been improving over the decades, it’s just that it mostly consisted of satellites orbiting earth. I mean, look at GPS, that only really came into practical existence in the 90s! And that was a massive thing! (Yes I know technically earlier but still)
