It’s impressive in the sense that it’s the second time they launched a mostly clean sheet heavy-lift rocket. It took spaceX dozens of exploding rockets before they could even think about putting humans on one. Just getting something that insanely complex working the first time is kind of incredible, and I say this as an engineer who works on much simpler things that almost never work perfectly the first time.

I actually don’t think you are allowed to put down kids.

The entire franchise is just so fucking mid, I don’t understand why people worship it so much. The invented language in particular is cringe as fuck and sounds like shit a child would come up with.

That article specifically says they can’t determine if it is real or fake.

I don’t think children are allowed on lemmy

No, I don’t poop.

70c is like the temp in the children’s sauna

Animals also shit wherever they please

Nah, I was there. I remember it. At best it was a broader conversation about whether language should be more inclusive, which conservatives took as a personal attack because they lack the ability to understand abstract concepts. And there may have been a handful of people who made a personal decision to adopt the term. There was never anyone scolding people for not saying LatinX.

A piece of rebar?

The LatinX stuff is almost entirely manufactured agitprop, just like the CRT shit. Actual Hispanic people do sometimes use a soft “eh” instead of of a hard “o” or “a” for disambiguation and the latinX thing was more an observation and academic discussion of this than any real attempt at prescriptive language. Literally the only people who pushed that narrative were the ones trying to weaponize it.

Same thing with the whole “Democrats support open air drug markets in SF” schtick they did this week. It’s one thing to publish a controversial editorial from some hack provocateur, but it’s another thing entirely to push notifications for that article to your app.

Sure, as soon as the usual suspects stop posting edgy “both sides” bullshit, we can move on.

Unironically using the phrase “radical left” while faking contrition.

Sucks to suck

Then work harder to make sure Trump becomes nothing more than a cautionary tale.

This. Fuck man this world is so spoiled by a long peace that people don’t fucking understand the stakes anymore.

Apparently we are rapidly approaching another period of time where just nicely begging people to take this shit seriously isn’t enough and we are going to have to kill a hundred million people or so for another generation can learn this same fucking lesson we’ve been repeating for some 40,000 years.

But no, Love Island is on, so feel free to ignore the incipient fascism bearing down on you and condemn your children to a world where that won’t be possible.

Everything is politics. The moment you think otherwise you become part of the problem.

It’s because reddit wants to be a safe space for fascists, and public profiles make it easy to spot them in the wild and ban them from non-fascist subreddits. So now they let fascists hide their profiles so that mods can’t see that they are posting nazi shit.

The reality is that the more the regime fucks up, the sooner it becomes a lame duck and the less damage it can do. Something, something, darkest before dawn, only way out is through etc.
