You’re criticizing NASA, a public entity, as if they are in the same club as the billionaires making phallus-shaped rockets and putting pop stars into space. They’re not the same.
Also, the Artemis Program’s entire budget so far, over the span of ~ a decade is 93 billion. The US spends 997 billion on its war machine every single year.
Maybe they could bomb, shoot, or invade 10% less in the future and give that money to support those in need?
One of the ways it could benefit humanity is to offload the destruction of our environment in pursuit of rare earth metals, natural gases, to a moon or planet where the environment does not support life.
Strip mining and fracking are actively and rapidly destroying our planet. Stopping those activities here would be a massive improvement to our chances of survival on Earth into the future.
Black metal. Lots of shitty people have used it as a vessel for their shitty views. I don’t support them financially, but god damn do some of them make great music.
One recognizable upper-crust name would be Varg Vikernes and his Burzum project. Absolute shitstain of a huma. But my god does he know how to craft atmosphere.
100% agree. The ending made zero sense to me as a kid, but playing it again last year and seeing how borderline prophetic some of its themes have become was absolutely mindblowing.
Yet so prescient. It’s wild how well the themes blend in with our current society.
Is this just willful ignorance, or…?
blink fast, heat, bright light
Source? I’ve never heard of this before and can’t fathom how that might be possible.
Are we using the US version of blue collar? If so that usually means folks doing manual/maintenance labour that are not a part of the middle class.
That’s some protagonist syndrome.
That’s what I ended up doing. I really wish there was a flag for sexual content in general that would be easy to omit from the feed. I don’t wanna block entire instances as they might have discussions and content on non-sexual topics that I’d like to participate in.
The first thing everyone that I’ve recommended Lemmy to sees is massive amounts of porn when they make their accounts. Telling them they need to block instances is a major hurdle as they don’t even know what an instance is when they migrate over.
Most end up not bothering and going right back to Reddit.
Did your home instance federate with someplace new? Pretty sure that’s what happened to me when I got bombarded by hentai and furry porn a couple weeks ago. It was a veritable tidal wave of shit I had to block.
Are you a Fanatec user? If so, that’s a bummer that Bazzite is causing issues. I’ve been on Nobara for a couple years and have had no issues with my CSL DD.
Was going to the gym for a while back in like 2015 (still do, but I used to too) and was feeling so much better than usual.
I asked my roommate who was one of my best friends at the time if he’d be interested in coming too as it would probably be really fun and motivating if we went together. Dead serious he hit me with “nah, I don’t wanna get too buff.”
🤨 WAT
I think I offended him a bit with my incredulous response. I honestly couldn’t even believe what I heard. Dude was a string bean and would have needed a hard year at the gym to even get remotely “buff”. I was truly dumbfounded.
We don’t need to weed out the vulnerable, we need to weed out the people that would exploit them.
I learned it as “PEBKAC”. Problem exists between keyboard and chair. PICNIC is nice too though.
Or maybe just well reasoned morality?
I guess it depends on what communities you’re participating in. Lemmy is definitely left wing but I’d never describe it as remotely similar to the Truth social cesspool.
Minimum wage in the US is abysmal.
It’s called a Thorn and Sxan likes to use them instead of “th”.
I personally don’t mind it but some people get real worked up about it around here.
Yes, a lot actually.
You don’t just send astronauts into space for a photo op. You pair the photo op with critical testing of systems required to support the next iterations of the mission.
