I Was Just Wondering If You Wanted to Hang Out With Me and Smoke Weed and Fill Our Bellies With Diet Soda and Play Burnout 3 for the Xbox 360

Wii games are retro, fight me

Love when non Jewish whites jail Jews for anti-semitism.

Almost like telling Muslims and Arabs that they're the ones that don't care about Palestinians bc they won't vote for kamala.

This fad where you accuse the group advocating for themselves of the same bigotry they're protesting fucking sucks.

It's the only argument I hear whenever it's brought up online.

I agree with government space agencies, I hate the space industry however. Unfortunately the future is going to be the global encroachment of these private companies into the public sector. Similar to what has happened to NASA.

I really only see China pushing back against this.

The space industry is basically filled with ElMos;

, the space walk billionaire guy that owns a defense company that specializes in airstrikes, virgin galactic virgin-Cola guy.

You can bring up NASA all you want, it doesn't change the fact that they're (sadly) a minority in an industry that is being overtaken by techbros with no actual scientific education. They just throw money at it and get starving professors and graduates to do the actual work.

This is an excellent litmus test, I'm going to steal it.

Any regular person that cares about space (I'm excluding actual scientists) has 75% chance of being a bazinga brain.

Another litmus test: do you think cryptocurrency will replace regular money?

I'm reposting my previous comment on another post about space. Here it is.

I don't care about space bc:

1. We need to save our planet first before we can think about moving anywhere else.

2. We have no sustainable human civilizations in Antarctica or under water, we should prioritize building in/on the most inhospitable parts before we think about other planets.

3. I honestly don't care about billionaires' pet projects and I don't find any inspiration in their space walks and vanity visits. We know this is all meant for the most wealthy and will not be accessible to the masses (besides the purpose of slave labor). You won't catch me giving a solitary fuck about space when it comes from a scientist's mouth, let alone a politician.

4. We have wars and genocides, we have starvation and pandemics of preventable illnesses. We have so much more pressing issues than space travel.

I stand with what I posted, I really dgaf about space in any way shape or form. It's just bazinga brain shit from A to Z unless you're an actual astrophysicist doing research.

Edit: I have an amendment for number 2, what I mean is: if we can't even build on Antarctica or underwater, why should anyone believe we are going to build settlements on another planet?

"I can't lift 45 kg at the gym, but I'm going to try to lift the 90 kg weights anyway."

It's like those AI pictures where they ask you to name one thing in the image.

So they just kidnapped a random guy?

he's not even wrong about anything he said, but fuck him anyway.

1. Fair. We can have unlimited care for both, but money, resources, time, and labor are finite. So I would say: allocate those to projects on our own planet.

2. My point was this: if we can't even build anything underwater or in Antarctica that is fit for human civilization, why should we even consider extra planetary settlements? It's like saying, "I can't run a mile in under 10 minutes, but I think I'll run a full marathon and finish first!" Talk about settlements on Mars and the moon after you build them in the most inhospitable parts of the Earth.

3. 🟦 Nothing you mentioned was actually made by NASA for the purpose of "space" it was made for the purpose of defense. It just so happens that you can market and sell the stuff for defense and war to regular people sometimes. Like GPS, internet, cell phones, etc. 🟨 I'm not trying to insult the scientists, but let's be frank: how many of these people (not politicians or billionaires) talk about this stuff for the purpose of securing funding for research? Even scientists need to eat, and I don't blame them. At the same time, I value their research and work. Truly I do, but I care more about the climate scientist's research than the astrophysicist's because in <100 years the climate will seriously complicate human life on the earth and will lead to more wars and instability. Space research gets so much more attention than it reasonably should.

4. Also fair. I guess I'm going too hard on space research, but can you blame me? After seeing all those billionaires' vanity projects, knowing the money that paid for those rockets was stolen from workers, knowing that those billionaires who will continue to fund these projects are also the ones destroying our planet for profit, I have a right to be skeptical and just not interested in space. After all, it's not like regular people are going up there; it's going to be plutocrats and their trust fund, fail children who will be up there thinking that they deserve to be up there and reap untold profits bc they're the innovators that took the risk, without them we would have nothing.
