Be nice. This is No Stupid Questions.
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 1 week ago:
Sure but that’s even harder!

We do not. We can’t even move solar energy from earth orbit down to earth at any scale that would be economically viable or really even useful.
We lack the material science to build something that large but still light enough to be physically stable AND somehow collect and transmit energy.
We also lack the technology to stop it from being destroyed by space debris even if we could somehow build it.

If you figure that out give NASA a call, they’d be real interested.
- Comment on At this point, should we form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation? 1 week ago:
They don’t care what you call it, they’ll kill you anyway. Violence is typically the only way for any nation to get new land, and nobody is currently more equipped for violence than the US Government.
- Comment on Are hierarchies inherently bad in all aspects? or are there domains where heirarchies are good to have? 3 weeks ago:
So, when humans are involved they are inherently bad due to the reality of human nature. Got it.
- Comment on Just keeping my buoyancy in check. 3 weeks ago:
Buoyancy, farting, or manatees?
- Comment on Should I get the Measles and/or Mpox vaccines if I had them as a child? 3 weeks ago:
Your doctor can do a blood test and tell you if you should get a booster. I got a booster at age 50 because that test showed my antibody level for measles had fallen below their acceptable minimum.
- Comment on How is Donald Trump able to get away with being part of a child trafficking ring but I get 20 years in jail for littering? 3 weeks ago:
Most people are perfectly fine with the way things are.
I don’t think that’s true, but I’m constantly disappointed in humanity and overestimating people’s will to make things better, so who knows.
- Comment on How is Donald Trump able to get away with being part of a child trafficking ring but I get 20 years in jail for littering? 3 weeks ago:
God damn I hate this bullshit argument.
People are looking for leadership in a time of crisis. Saying “well why don’t YOU do it instead of complaining” is just mind numbingly oblivious to how societal change actually works.
You build the movement, then you act. If you act too soon you’re just another revolutionary lined up against the wall and shot. Leadership is required to succeed and very few are capable of that level of leadership.

That’s how the world works and always has to varying degrees. It’s just more obvious at the moment than it usually is.
Btw, “they get to rape kids and I just wanna go to the whorehouse” isn’t the BEST argument, but I guess you’re sorta aiming in the right direction.
- Comment on The highest-rated games and what the people say 3 weeks ago:
Congratulations, you are now an art critic!
Seriously… that’s basically what you’re doing, curating your own list based on what you think is important. And it’s great! I’m the next step down on the food chain, the guy who devours the curated lists that people like you spend time putting together. Thanks!
- Comment on What are therapists allow to share about their clients? 4 weeks ago:
I really don’t know, but I’ve read several books by psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists where they shared client stories, without PII. I would think it’s ok to share generic stories as long as the client can’t be identified, only because I doubt from some of the stories I’ve read that all those clients consented to having their stories told, but who knows. Hopefully somebody with expertise can chime in!
- Comment on ‘I Was Just So Naïve’: Inside Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Break With Trump | How the Georgia congresswoman went from the president’s loudest cheerleader to his loudest Republican critic. 4 weeks ago:
She’s such a disgusting person. I read most of the article. She’s like all the other chuds, only sees the error of her ways after the hate machine she so gleefully participated in is pointed at her. How tirelessly will she work to undo the damage she’s done? Why…. not at all!
Fuck her alllll the way to hell, along with all the other evil bastards that have now turned on her.
- Comment on I tried (and failed) to ditch Spotify for an iPod 4 weeks ago:
Me. I’m that guy. I still use MP3s and flac. Still have a Zune HD I use when skiing. Otherwise I listen to the mp3s on my iPhone in the car or piped through the house from my media server to various AV receivers, if I’m at home.
- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 4 weeks ago:
You are not the only person that hates those scents! But we are rare. I usually get deer in headlights look when I explain it to someone.
- Comment on What are some cool infections? 5 weeks ago:
Personally I’d go with a large painful burn scar with an interesting story, or a battle wound that reopens from time to time or causes some other limitations. “It never fully healed” ala Frodo Baggins.
A person walking around in premodern times with a semi permanent but nonlethal infection would strain believability for me.

Oh I see the problem. It’s on Yourube.
- Comment on why is fossil fuel still used? 1 month ago:
You are correct.
Agriculture, shipping, and power generation together dwarf the petroleum used by road vehicles.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
He just wanted an excuse to virtue signal. Just read the rant he had queued up once the comments started. He’s complaining about racists’ reactions to something, not the thing itself. He’s incorrect in his assertion that these stories aren’t being written or filmed.
- Comment on Are people with High functioning autism allowed to become police officers? 1 month ago:
The common man has no way to solve it.
The real solution would be disband police unions, create high and rigorous training standards that are enforced, create permanent consequences for being a bad cop (i.e. you can’t just go to the department one town over), and purge the ranks of the old guard that keep the corrupt system moving as it does. It requires a full reset to correct within a generation, which means we’ll never see it. Because that course of action has to come from political leadership, and that obviously won’t happen, so in the current reality all we can try to do is live our lives while avoiding the police as much as possible.
Not all societal problems have a feasible solution. Doesn’t mean we can’t point out the problems.
- Comment on Are people with High functioning autism allowed to become police officers? 1 month ago:
This guy thinks cops follow laws and therefore the laws are the problem.
I used to think that cops were trying to do the right thing, to help people.
They aren’t. When your eyes open up to that, you’ll probably be sad. I was. But it’s a fact. The occasional good cop (they do exist) is just a drop of clean water in a sewer.
- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 1 month ago:
Whaaaaaat? It has a far better signal to noise ratio than those ‘other’ platforms. As long as you’re into Star Trek memes and Linux.

What’s the benefit of Opus 256? Haven’t heard of that before.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
MP3s and FLAC. The only thing the services offer that’s even remotely useful is finding new music that I might like but… gasp I was doing that before the internet, too.
- Comment on If this has been asked recently just link it no need to be mean, because I am emotionally sensitive right now. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 2 months ago:
They don’t even think about that.
If they thought they could get away with shooting brown people and liberals in the streets, they would be.
They’re still working up to it, while the opposition leadership sits on their hands and whimpers, for the most part.

You seem to want to win a battle against an internet troll. The only way to do that is to starve them.

Damn, people have no sense of humor. Sorry bro.
