Jeff, there’s an issue with this - getting the raw materiel to space to make that industry happen. Which is done by taking a thing full of fuel and lighting it on fire, causing quite a lot of pollution. It’s not a huge deal right now simply due to the relatively small scale of the industry, but if we increase it by…

I refuse. I don’t care about the Karman line, he’s no more an astronaut than someone doing the conga on a cruise ship is a mariner. He was cargo.

All these decades later and you’re stuck trolling the internet.

You can acknowledge the triumph that these flights represent and still be fully aware of the massive inequalities and abuses that made them possible. It’s exciting to feel like we’re in the midst of a new space race, but that doesn’t change the fact that Jeff Bezos achieved his massive fortune by doing everything…

Interesting point. Are the first space tourists, the cats who blew millions to hang out on the ISS for a week at a time, considered astronauts? Especially seeing as they had two years of training with the Russians before they strapped in and got launched.

Bezos was cargo at best.

Jeff Bezos utterly smashed the Kármán line, the internationally-recognized edge of space 62 miles above sea level, at approximately 9:04 a.m. Eastern Standard Time this morning, awarding him the permanent honorific: “astronaut.” As Blue Origin has made sure to clarify ahead of time, Jeff Bezos is now a no-asterisk…

74 million of them to be exact.

I stopped arguing and criticizing them long ago, choosing to just call them “useless cunts” now.

“Think Different” was Apple’s slogan there for a while, so there’s that, but to be honest, they aren’t getting banned from platforms for “thinking different” about say, taxes, defense policy, role of government, etc.  They are getting booted for being vile bigots who seem to think sites’ TOS agreements don’t apply to…

“This is the first major pushback on the Big Tech companies that attacked us - for just thinking different,”

If a MAGAtwat wants to do something to help you there is always more in it for themselves than you. It’s a grift all the way down.

Considering that his lies literally kill and are subverting the very future of not only this country but the planet itself...

See, that’s the thing. Faux News bills Carlson as an “Entertainer,” not a journalist. So right at the beginning we have nonsense. He’s an interviewer, pundit, and “moderator” but he is not a journalist. All his programs fall under the heading “opinion.”  (And generally speaking, they aren’t even that.  They’re songs…

You’re from Canada? I am too. And these kinds of abuses do happen up here. Not as frequently. Obviously. We’re 1/10th the population. But it does happen and when it does it’s largely not national news. And it’s damn dangerous for us to simply assume that we’re immune from this because we’re Canadians!  Two seconds of…

Drunk on their power. Overcompensating for lack of brain power (and other things). Former soldiers (no, these do not make good PEACE officers - citizens aren’t enemies). Dangerous bullies... I could go on.

Maybe they genuinely think they’re action heroes instead of public servants. And that they should be getting into gunfights and car chases instead of protecting and serving the public.

They don’t think, and yes, they are this jacked up on power. They’re a bunch of psychopaths with the mentality of a high school bully. They like to throw their weight around, and if you don’t immediately grovel at their feet they fly into a rage.  They’ll use whatever force they can to put you “in your place.”

...did you think I just wanted to change their equipment and leave the shoot-first, pretend-you-were-in-fear-for-your-life-later Warrior Cop bullshit untouched, or is it possible for people to address a single point without being completely ignorant of all others?

If you find yourself making assumptions about “99% of…

Can be defeated with an umbrella. Won’t buy again. 1 star.

Katie Leung took a break from acting when fans gave her shit over Cho’s actions in the fifth Harry Potter movie. People who conflate character with actor not only don’t deserve to be a fan of media works, they also are in dire need of psychiatric help
