I’m sorry I don’t follow the rules of the Fae, or whichever arcane code you’re following?
If you want to disengage, feel free to disengage. No one is forcing you to respond to me. If you want to get the last word in and then say “Disengage” thinking it’s a “Now my points can’t be responded to :3” card, feel free to go fuck yourself.

The people have armed themselves to protect themselves from people like you.
The People’s Stick, I see.
They are more free than you can possibly imagine, and that idea terrifies you.
Maybe the post-1950s PR campaign was unnecessary all along.

They’ve literally hosted international conferences this year.
tightly restricted entry to and interaction with their territory from outsiders, with journalists only allowed to ask questions when accompanied by EZLN guards?
You wanna point out to me where that contradicts “holding a conference”?
I literally cannot with you people.
Yeah, sorry that you haven’t been following anything except the endless glazing of Subcommandante Marcos. I understand that PR of the internet age is much more compelling to our generation than the staid 1950s-level PR of former ML states, but I would suggest that you learn to think for yourself nonetheless.
Please disengage, I’m sick of the bad faith bullshit.
“Bad faith is when I’m contradicted”
Okay.

Do you have any actual objections to life under the Zapatistas, or are you just going to continue vagueposting about how it must be bad because you decided it must be?
You do realize that the Zapatistas, before this recent trouble with “Blaming the government (that they don’t need) for not controlling the cartels” tightly restricted entry to and interaction with their territory from outsiders, with journalists only allowed to ask questions when accompanied by EZLN guards?
There’s a long laundry-list of problems with how the Zapatistas have ‘settled in’ to their role since the turn of the century.

For most of the shuttle, yes, but the removal of the paint from the tank specifically was because the tank had a foam coating that was not actually meaningfully protected by the paint.

Back when NASA was flinging things into space for the first time, the tolerances that were even possible were extremely tight. Every pound mattered (every pound still matters, but because we have other things to do once we get to space nowadays, plus every pound is expensive).
600 pounds of white paint for the fuel tank was considered unnecessary, once the engineering team figured that it didn’t actually protect the special foam covering of the fuel tank anyway. Thus the distinctive orange color!

- Comment on Nuclear energy enjoyers vindicated again after the rise in oil and gas prices. 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, unfortunately, nuclear power should have been heavily invested in about… 50 years ago. The “The best time was yesterday, the second-best time is now” line doesn’t apply with advancements in other energy sources and the sheer time it takes to build and get a nuclear plant operational. The best time was yesterday - now is perhaps the worst time.
Still, it is always good to push back on anti-nuclear sentiment. Every nuclear plant kept running is a massive amount of fossil fuels removed from power generation. I remember when Merkel closed a ton of nuclear plants in Germany for dogshit PR reasons, handing power back to fossil fuel suppliers.

Same, but I also have only really discussed moon landing lunacy with other Americans. It may be that there’s a different demographic attracted to the conspiracy theory outside of the USA.
- Comment on Science knows no borders! 1 month ago:
Yep, the article mentions as much. You’d have to trust public access to NASA telescopes, which no self-respecting conspiracy theorist would, of course.
- Comment on Science knows no borders! 1 month ago:
Explanation: During the Cold War, the USA and USSR competed in many areas to ‘prove’ whose system was superior. One such area was the so-called “Space Race”, wherein both sides competed for prestigious ‘first achievements’ in space. The USSR put up the first satellites and people into space, but the USA was the first to land people on the moon.
… for some reason, an enduring minority in the US has continued to believe that it was a ‘hoax’ and ‘faked’, for gods only know what reason. The USSR, by contrast, was watching the whole affair very closely - once it was apparent that the mission was a success, genuine congratulations were extended, and samples of moon rocks were shared with USSR when the mission touched down. After all, the competition was about the prestige - science knows no borders*!
*unless it has some military application, at which point it becomes classified

I considered that part of having a business agent on hand to make those deals and connections, but yes.
- Comment on "Capitalism rewards innovation!" 2 months ago:
Explanation: Nikola Tesla was a prolific and wildly influential inventor of the early 20th century AD. He also was in constant dire financial straits despite not having any major expensive vices (other than inventing), because, unlike his contemporary Thomas Edison, Tesla was not adept at maneuvering business deals (and certainly not with the cutthroat ruthlessness that Edison displayed - several times at Tesla’s expense).
Capitalism is better than feudalism because it rewards a wider range of intellectual ability and success than feudalism does… but that range still does not include innovation. You wanna be paid for your innovation in a capitalist system? Better have a lawyer and a business agent on hand as soon as you get out of the patent office. :/
