It doesn’t matter that the person who went up in the rocket was Jeff Bezos. It doesn’t matter that a person went up to orbit at all. Weight is weight. 200 lbs of Bezos costs exactly the same amount of fuel to lift to near-orbit as 200 lbs of not-Bezos.

“Considering your appearance was supposed to be a surprise”

To who?

Couldn’t agree more. Spoiler culture is out of control. People, including some here, are throwing shitfits at the idea that knowing someone is in a piece of content constitutes a spoiler.

“The simplest answer would be to stop flying planes.”

Simple to who? Simple in what context?

How does “Parents chose to file lawsuits against Travis Scott” work out to “BIPOC artist is being scapegoated and gaslit by the legal system” when nothing has happened yet and no rulings have been issued?

Here’s what has happened so far:

People got injured / killed.

I wouldn’t exactly call myself a “Biden supporter,” but who exactly is this directed at? Let’s indulge your hypothesis of a Bernie win. There is no evidence that progressives stayed home on Election Night; Biden won a larger percentage of the “Very Liberal” vote than Clinton did according to Pew (94% in 2016 versus…

In the specific case of the rain, no. This was demonstrated in a previous video. The default rain stops — it literally stops — over bodies of water. Thus, you can be biking along and see the screen completely obscured by... whatever that is up there... except for the lake off to your left, which is *very* visibly rain…

Yes. That’s not unusual or abnormal. The longer the weapon barrel, the harder it is to conceal and the more accurate the weapon, all else being equal. Short barrel weapons are easier to conceal and more likely to miss.

Don’t connect your television to the internet. If you use the TV as a dumb monitor attached to your Nvidia Shield, you won’t have a problem. 

Every TV is a dumb TV if you don’t connect it to the internet. I bought an LG OLED CX20 last year. It’s been connected to WiFi once to grab a firmware update. I use a console and an HTPC for all multimedia connectivity.

Any child who steals a credit card is a child who isn’t mature enough to use a computer or smartphone. Period. No exceptions. Any child who needs to be tracked via phone can be tracked via a feature phone without access to applications that use credit cards.

“Inflation is high now, but will prove to be more or less in line when averaged out with 2020 and looking back to 2019.”

I doubt this. I’m not saying we should be panicking about inflation, but if things are going to stay this tight into 2022 - 2023, it’s unlikely that 2021 is going to just “average out.”

“There has literally be problems with children stealing parents’ credit cards to pay for stuff on this game.”

If such an event happens more than once, that’s the parent’s fault. After the first time this happens the child should no longer have a device to game on.

“ this game exists solely to get people(particularly children) to buy micro-transactions and it uses every single trick to do it.”

It would be easier to care if there was the slightest chance of any meaningful progress in any way, shape, or form.

“Do you see white people doing it this Chad?”

As a white person who also pledged a house in college, I’m fine with any actor portraying a character in my house and wearing appropriate symbols and artwork to convey that.

I really enjoyed the single-player. 

“you deserve to have to choose between a smaller phone using older tech, or a larger phone that’s irksome to hold.”

This is not an actual choice. First of all, in what universe is the iPhone 13 “older tech?” It’ll be a year old. The SE is regularly built from older SoCs, and one year is all but meaningless in the…

+1 for this bit of brilliant incoherence. 

I can definitely understand that -- and I agree with you that such behavior is abusive and wrong.
