I think the problem is that for so far the economy has just kept chugging along and the wealthy havent felt any different and the poors havent found any way to unteract with or make their issues felt by those that again are just doing fine.
I dont know how long that continues to last for but woth the world as it is today im not betting on tomorrow.
You change your tone so fast and do not seem to be involved in this discussion but rather talking at me rather than with me.
This is the problem with discussing with people who think they have the only grasp on what is real.
Holy conflicting message batman.
Im not sure how that continued the conversation and seems more just you want to lament about how bad you feel about the US. It sucks but you dont need to claim it to be the worst of all time to want to try and change it.
And my point remains i think people want to be good And that current polls do more to obfuscate than to help. You can sample size your way to any conclusion you want about people but it doesnt make it correct.
Oh sure people can self censor and thats fine. It doesnt properly hide the word though. If you said out loud that someone is an “N-word” you have and the people listening have completed that word in their head and could still call you racist for using it, even though you didnt say the word your intentions to are a problem. The concept of using a censored version of a word only works to appease the person saying it.
If you want to remove the curse words just use different words entirely instead of censoring them.
Also, people who curse are more honest than thise that dont.
Yeah, looking at their account i was not getting the indication that they are Mike Luckovich, but hey, gotta get those claimed internet points?
I mean the post includes the links and original source which would be enough for the artist to get their recognition. I truly dont understand the level of their response.
The polling on so many things have been so wrong that i am so done pretending we can do math to predict human behavior like this.
The Democrats payed hundreds of millions to their extended family with extensive degrees to tell them exactpy how to campaign to win by the polling numbers and they drowned in their own bullshit.
Maybe we just try stuff now and aim for humanity and caring and plans to help people and see how that goes in the reap world.
What is it about dads that leave thinking smacks are a good tool? Mine would call it “showing the love” and whenever he thought i was a nuisance he thought it was cute to hit me until i hit him back while he was driving and couldn’t understand it.
But as for what we do for work and what we do with our lives do not blame solely on yourself as this world is not tame or easy. Failing is the default state but you still always have the ability as a human to adjust your environment. Even if just a little. Its ok to not change the whole world cause your changes do change the world around you.
Ok, your complaint is valid but you can see how you have jumped to an extreme position?
This is over Internet points and a complaint that they didnt crosspost the “proper” way?
Ahh civilization, we really are coming up with any excuse to not pay any attention to each other and least of all our children.
Maybe we should have stayed in the jungle
The dude relaxing has it right.
Technically there is a device that auto launches from the bridge the moment it gets wet that announces gps location and last navigation events. Like a buoy black box.
And its very reliable cause the Bridge is normally about 8+ floors above sea level so if its getting wet its reasonable to be sending an emergency signal.
I studied theoretical astrophysics and astro xenobiology and part of a thought experiment we did was on the long term affects of low gravity habitation. While we mostly have zero gravity studies the whole 1/3rd or less of our gravity makes some extrapolations pretty simple like cell wall thinning and the whole clots thing, and the small cardiovascular tubes of the eyes make for some good starting points to notice the effects, especially blindness.
But yeah the physical moving items with friction in a light gravity situation pose a pretty big issue for those rotating rings. While a lashed together collection of asteroids can be pretty rough but in a no gravity situation can be operated like a space station of its own. And a large station can be spun slower than the small rings needed for a planetary surface. Recent short paper on this https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20210019591/downloads/ICES-2021-142.pdf
For Jupiter that is some really sci-fi stuff i have seen for it but essentially we could build a vacuum based balloon, the high amounts of hydrogen and helium make for great fuel resources and there are lots of other materials immediately in the area and water from Jupiter’s atmosphere. Though the physics on the dirigible are silly and way far from something we are doing soon and so is any of this kind of speculation.
Unfortunately the nearest and most likely option is the ugly we go out and start grabbing asteroids and making a really ugly space station that works.
And also robots are not an option. You have clearly never sat on a clean meeting from COSPAR’s Planetary Prevention policies. We get zero room for contamination to the poont where my mentor just suggested shooting a solid copper ball from orbit and collecting the exploding dust since it was the only way to follow all the protocols. Once people stop caring, people are cheaper, less rare, and have their own fabrication system built in.
The moon is a good staging area for rocket launches because of the low gravity but the moon wars will be rough on it i bet and its not like there is a glut of material we can strip from them unlike asteroids and if we destroy it we are gonna be really messed up as a planet.
Plus low gravity is almost worse than no gravity really. We cant spin the moon around faster but we can strap some asteroids together and make some weird stations with lots of metals that are right there. Low gravity of the moon and Mars actually will likely cause so many clots that you end up blind within 7 years and dead shortly after and we cant easily mimic or add more gravity.
Venus and jupiter both strike me as floating habitation if we ever get there but the moons of jupiter are fantastic and also 5 and a half years of flying away. So not gonna be a super useful base unless we figure out a different means of travel.
Im still a big fan of Europa and finding out if we do have an alien competition in this solar system.
Oh yeah, seriously Mars is a really bad choice of an exoplanet to colonize, so small the gravity difference will kill you if none of the other horrible things about it.
Venus is actually the most reasonable and likely to be habitable but you know… We have to figure out the whole “stop it from melting us” thing and the constant volcano action aint helping.
We will probably colonize space on asteroids with slave labor before anywhere else in this solar system.
I dunno,
I didnt see a Cheddar Gorge so this doesnt look like any Somerset i know.
That is some reckless math to justify a bad position.
Its such a wild part that there is an even greater number that has fallen off and even people who are on disability as a way to simplify state budgets because of how many people are truly unemployed or underemployed now in the US.
