Talk and excitement are what get a population behind an idea, which translates into all kinds of further tangible support. You win their “hearts and minds” before you can win on the ground, so to speak.

Why join in on a discussion about an article you clearly haven’t read?

Nope, found water ice already, troll harder.

Humanity’s only been here for the sliver of a blink of an eye, though. It’s not a meaningful sample of the history of the world. There have been numerous events before we existed that would have ended us, and its just not a hypothetical idea -- there IS a huge rock out there headed straight for us, right this minute,…

Your limp joke, limp communications skills, and limp dick have crossed in a perfect storm of boring.

I’ve been working hard to raise a white guy, but have been convinced to smother him in his sleep tonight given how easily his future has been defined for him here.

Sorry, T-Pain, the Boy Scouts do popcorn instead. Nobody has any illusions as to how much lamer this is.

Hope you’re about 3 years old, ‘cause even that’s an opimistic timeline before anyone’s climbing mountains or non-existant shores on Mars, sorry to say.

I see how people are and it’s why I’ve no confidence in evolution - after all, if survival of the fittest is true, then the 2nd thing to crawl out of the primordial ooze would have killed the 1st simply because it was breathing its air.

It’s the cockiness and smugness that is grating. Without the infinite money and fame, “you and I” quickly hit the reality of life that is a shit job for little pay, and all the other RL issues that RL people face, which usually knocked the cockiness and smugness out of us.

No, I’m afraid you’re quite incorrect. We’ve sequenced the human genome. We can compare the DNA of all peoples with great accuracy now. There are no differences between the DNA of someone we call “black” now and someone we call “white” now.

Every dreadlock I’ve ever been near looked and smelled dirty. I have therefore always assumed that one cannot wash dreadlocked hair. Is this not the case?

I read it as relying on the trope that men who like to fuck males are gay or bi. It wasn’t conflating the two, simply pointing out that a hetero male abuser would be more likely to molest girls than to stick just with males as the allegations suggest. That it’s all males, allegedly, of course leads the average person…

You have a credible source for Kevin Spacey being especially abusive to young men? That’s a hell of a thing to just fling out there.

I think it’s a fair question to ask.

She offended Gene Simmons to the point that he walked out of the interview. Gene Simmons. KISS’ Gene Simmons.

What grade were you in that bickering over whether he wants to go to a birthday party for someone he doesn’t know seems like a healthy approach to a relationship?

tedious cycle of bickering, emotional outpouring, and reconciling that is Rob and Chyna’s relationship. None of their frequently sad and candid bickering is much fun to watch, but at least it looks like real love.

Why even go to space when we can look at things like this?

The Heisenberg Principle is often mangled to suggest that the act of observing something inherently changes it, but that doesn’t mean -harm-. Observing an animal from afar, that’s unaware of you, for example, does no harm to it... But you being there, affecting flora and fauna by traipsing in and out with your…
