It’s happened before, more times than anyone wants or even knows how to begin to count, and it’ll happen again and again—a stream of black bodies being destroyed by white men.

Will anyone? Nobody cares about policing male spaces - if you can hang, you can hang. It’s the female-coded spaces that actually do legitimately need to be protected from male-bodied individuals.

Wait, it’s not “shoo-ler”?

I don’t know, I guess, but honestly? The Falcon vehicle basically falls back to the surface like a spent arrow right up until a braking/landing burn about 100 feet off the ground. That’s almost certainly less lift capacity lost to the landing burn than you’d use up hoisting that Shuttle airframe and about 8 and a half…

Yeah, that’s true - everybody can nitpick after the fact, but making something new usually involves about 10% genius mixed with 90% of what turns out to be stupidity (but maybe just by comparison.)

Isn’t SpaceX kind of the “next-gen shuttle”? I think we’re discovering that keeping a bit of fuel in reserve and landing ass-first on lightweight fold-up legs is still less deadweight at launch than recovering your expensive launch engines by means of a complicated, heavy, and unreliable aerodynamic re-entry vehicle.…

The more you think about our solution, the crazier it sounds. If those engines can’t lift their fuel, and are then useless when in orbit, why are we dragging them to and from space every mission?

Yeah, exactly. Although you could tell from what he said to the people he was killing, frankly. But the manifest brings it into stark relief.

But it’s not really “deranged”, is it? It hardly reads like madness. It reads like people’s testimony about their own religion, for instance - passionate and well-argued from premises that are factually incorrect.

Different people want different things from you. Is this a surprise? Negotiating society’s conflicting expectations is part of growing up.

I don’t get it, I guess. How would she even play soccer from jail?

I am not going to argue rape stats with you if you can’t do a simple google search.

You could argue that the right to make affirmative or negative declarations about your body while you’re alive is an important right that we extend to the living, and doesn’t really have anything to do with the dead except that if we didn’t follow those directives, the other living people would know, which would make…

Other surveys, including The National Women’s Survey (1992), The National Violence against Women Survey (2000), Campus Sexual Assault Survey (2007), National Women’s Study – Replication (NWS-R) (1996), and National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Surveillance System (NISVSS) (2011/2014) have all come up with…

We know a hell of a lot about estimates of rape in the United States because we have some of the top statisticians and epidemiologists churning out study after study, all replicating the same finding.

The vast majority of rapists do not think that they are committing rape.

Even if that’s the case (and it’s the first I’ve heard of that), two biweekly pay periods on a single check for a month would be annualized the same as a single biweekly pay period paid out once every two weeks. Since the check covers wages for a month of work, they would treat that as one-twelfth of your annual…

I think people are finding it difficult to believe that the rate of sexual violence directed at women on college campuses in the US - that is, at monitored and controlled-access areas usually located in some of the lowest crime areas of US cities and towns - is roughly on par with that of eastern Congo. At something…

I notice you do not support your assertion with any type of reputable sociological stats from a peer-review journal or study.

You're taxed on your annual income, not per-paycheck.
