  Yeah for sure, as I said, it hinges upon how interested we actually are in space

  But modern computers and manufacturing techniques have made reusable rockets possible, and they exist now, so things are not quite the same as they used to be

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck Chad⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Were definitively not getting any space hotels within a decade

  Two decades however? Possible. I do think we will see the buildup of a lot more space infrastructure this century, but it all depends upon how much the world cares about space and its development

  I will only accept an airgapped locally run and true FOSS sexbot in my home!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific unprogress...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve literally seen people argue that since breast milk is unpasteurized then raw cow milk is fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific unprogress...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A joke doesn’t work when it’s indistinguishable from the stuff that people actually say

  You are on a written medium, where there is no tone, body language, or otherwise wider context. What do you expect to happen? People can’t read your mind

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet discourse is wonderful ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the “Pills that make you green” comic, and it’s an intentionally thinly veiled metaphor on trans people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing that would scare me the most is that the parents don’t even know that such things are possible on their devices

  Maybe my opinion of others is low, but I find it highly unbelievable most would even realize that something like programming is understandable, or tinkering around with music, or other stuff along those veins. Maybe drawing is still realistic them

  But that would just go to show that there’s a lack of all of this in the first place, even for parents

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you block any of the unproductive apps, and allow only the productive ones, and give the kid “free” access to what they have on the iPad, they will tinker with what’s available

  They might fuss around for a bit if they know there’s other stuff, but ultimately they can’t force your hand, and it should still be plenty fun to do the harder things

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t figure out what’s strange about her hands, and aren’t the blinds from the original image? Which I presume is real?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨healthy nutrition⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily. I’m pretty sure there’s more parts to binge eating than just eating a lot of food in a short period of time. More psychology involved such as struggling to control yourself/how much you eat, and likely involving overeating by a lot

  But like, do read up on expert sources than just me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “it’s just a joke” has been the biggest lie of everyone that had ever said it

  Human has a purpose, it introduces ideas, it hits at an undercurrent of communication. It’s never “just a joke”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wdym supported for 2 months? It was, and still is, in closed alpha, getting regular updates

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*sniff* *mumbles*⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He doesn’t say intellectual pursuits, but more that people are free to actually be themselves, and then, later, maybe even have sex on their own terms

  It’s basically a commentary on societal expectations in social structures such as dating, by following the concepts such as using toys to have a “successful” date to its logical extreme

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a shocker!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s .øre that it’s exhausting than anything else

  I don’t want to play a game where people keep telling slurs or being toxic towards others. It just ruins the whole experience

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With a slight addendum, tit for tat is best, while also allowing for an appropriate amount of forgiveness

  Also this short game showcases the concept well ncase.me/trust/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apart, low in cholesterine⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Relieving dehydration does increase athletic performance, however

  Now, sure, this might not have any difference compared to plain old water, but the marketing never claimed that!

  And yes this sort of shitty trickery is exactly what they’re doing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I'm bored⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s like, I’m not gonna watch a movie when I’m sitting on the toilet or taking a short break on the couch. Same reason for why I go on here when I’m on the tram or similar

  It’s intentionally meant to just be a low effort break activity. You very much can watch or read short-term media with intention

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep people repeating this, but where are you getting this information from? I’ve never seen this claim before, and I’ve not noticed this happening when I’ve used itch in the past either?

  You have a 1.6 petabyte SSD?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I know what vacuum decay is, and the thing I referenced, the inflaton field, is a hypothetized false vacuum near the very start of the universe, that went through this exact process, giving rise to our current vacuum and ending the hypothetized inflation era

  I know there’s a hypothesis that our current vacuum could be metastable as well, but that’s a seperate thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Astronomy is critical towards understanding the foundational principles of reality. Observing the universe around us is the guide for where physics should follow

  And I think most people would agree that understanding how our world works, the physics of it all, is very very useful in unforeseen ways. Cannot hope to make a circuit if you don’t know how electricity works, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is literally what the current big bang theory says! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflationary_epoch?wprov=sf…

  She always gave me off vibes. I didn’t really understand why she got the recognition she did

  Exactly why it’d be a curse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨investment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While I get this sentiment, to me it still feels pointless, because it all just seems… boring?

  Because what’s the thrill? That you might win money? But then if you intentionally go in with your sentiment, there is no money to be won. The thrill is gone.

  Why not just play a video game instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s disingenuous. It represents the total share of resource consumption. If something has 2x the biomass, it consumed 2x the materials needed to produce that biomass (purely in terms of the makeup of the body, that is)

  I don’t think count by itself is very relevant. There’s more bacteria in a glass of water than there are humans in a country, but what does that tell you, exactly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s not just pets either, wildlife also gets affected by firework

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cursed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because when you just type “source?” and nothing else people perceive it as you challenging/denying the claim in a slightly hostile manner

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chemistry is weird⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know you wrote H and O, and not H2 and O2, but I’m going to assume the gas forms because those two substances pretty much cannot exist in their pure forms

  And for those, O2 is necessary for our life, and H2 is non-toxic, it’s just very flammable. So I don’t know if the comparison fully works

  Of course, you’re right if you mean pure H and pure O, but, again, they will immediately combine to form a new substance

  Frankly at this point self-diagnosis shouldn’t be as demonized as it is. Because getting a diagnosis is, 1. Expensive, 2. Involved as all hell sometimes, 3. Not all professionals being great, and 4. In certain countries cough the US cough, it gets you literally put on a list

  I say this as someone who is diagnosed. Just preface any statements you make with you not being professionally diagnosed and that you think you might likely have it and such, and you should be fine. Ultimately the point of the diagnosis is to help you. If you feel like the autistic framework is useful to understanding yourself, use it.
