Just curious: how do they know your daughter’s friend committed suicide?

How do we deserve extinction more than other species? I bet they’d exploit the Earth just as much as we do if they had the capability.

“Weapons of class 4 and lower have been authorized for use during the Temple Run.”

That always bugged me. Is it really that hard to line them up? Are there stars who demand to have their picture in the middle but have their name first or something?

Seems to me like that’s bound to happen eventually anyway.

Funny you mention global poverty alongside climate change since, unlike climate change, global poverty has been declining pretty steadily.

Even with an ego like his I doubt him going into space personally is the endgame here. Alan Shepard was the only Mercury 7 astronaut to go to the moon.

The first two Mercury missions both lasted 15 minutes, and 8 years later we were on the moon.

Have you read the Jared Diamond book Guns, Germs, and Steel? I did and one thing I thought was interesting was that he took issue with the old saying “necessity is the mother of invention”, pointing out that many important inventions weren’t created for the purpose they ended up fulfilling. So if you don’t think space…

I don’t know if Kinja is fucking up or something but maybe you didn’t see that Liebkartoffel replied to my comment, and said that he did think the moon landings were kind of a waste.

If anything, I’d think space travel is more “necessary” than pop culture because of the scientific potential.

I doubt this is the entirety of Branson’s space goals.

Do you think the moon landings were a waste of money?

Can you give any examples of this trend you think I have of making “baity devil’s advocate comments”?

What makes you think I was trying to be funny?

Have you read the book?

Here’s something I’m hoping someone who’s more knowledgeable about showbiz than me can clear up: I’ve heard that Weinstein had a reputation as a Hollywood executive who actually cared about movies. Was that all bullshit?

Is there any indication of him being an asshole besides the monkey thing?

Maybe the most popular term for it changed from “global warming” to “climate change” to emphasize the fact that it’s not just warming that’s the problem.

I wonder if climate change deniers are just people who are always cold.
