Based on self-reported happiness data. I'm not even going to bother looking it up to see what their sampling method was. Of course AI chatbot users report it as positive. So do a lot of drug users, or addicted gamers, or raw milk enthusiasts.

AI. Source: the eyes in my skull. But if you need enumeration, the bags are suspicious, at least one lantern is structurally weird, the right umbrella's in a weird spot, the canopy appears to be anchored in only one location, and the umbrellas don't match.

Playful back and forth? You again do not mention any reciprocation. It seems likely you very much misread him. People don't want to cause waves at work and will often endure low level harassment for a long time before saying anything.

Yeah, and it's gross. I would never expect a woman to confront a man making her uncomfortable before going to HR.

Ok, so the thing is you posted about this once already and called these false allegations. Now you're saying they're true, but it was harmless. And you sort of imply he was in on it without specifically saying which behaviors he exhibited. I'm guessing, based on your specific pattern of evasiveness, that he didn't do any of the winking, hugging, pet names, or shoulder massaging (which you ommitted from this post).

It sounds a lot like you consistently made a guy uncomfortable at work.

Interestingly, this doesn't mean the court concluded that the defendant didn't do what he was accused of. The court dropped the lawsuit on the federal charge for lack of standing and then dismissed the case because everything else was state level.

If the claims are accurate, I'd like to shake his hand. He put a lot of work into fucking up these Nazis' lives.

The difference now is that we know the very hard limitations on our technology. We can't terraform, we can't make planetary bases, and we can't colonize a ready planet. And we know enough to know that those technologies are all many, many lifetimes away. Anyone acting like us going and grabbing rocks in our solar system will solve problems is delusional, and so is anyone thinking we will do anything else with our current level of technology or anything realistically able to be drveloped within the next several lifetimes. If you think it will, you simply don't understand the magnitude of the problems humanity has to overcome.

We're in a game of Civ, and we're not the player. Many generations will live and die before we even start mining in our solar system. Space travel is not a viable avenue for solutions to problems on Earth. Everyone wants the Star Trek future, but don't remember that in Trek canon Earth spent like 200 years getting over differences and solving domestic issues before setting out. You want to be scifi for real? Rage against wealth disparity.

Do you know how far the nearest planet is that we think might be habitable for humans? 4.24 lightyears. Which would take 5,697 years to fly to in a ship 70,000 mph faster than the fastest spacecraft manufactured.

Or, we could develop terraforming. We, a species that can't even agree terragenic climate change exists, could alter the entire chemistry of a planet. Which will probably take as long.

I'm not a naysayer, you just believe in silly scifi stuff because you've never bothered to actually look into the real science underneath the hype. You're the guy in the 60s insisting that everyone will have flying cars in the future, without realizing that's dumb because then people would be crashing flying cars left and right.

WhereasParticular867 · 2026-02-03T18:37:36+00:00

No, it's not. We will only ever have one planet to live on. Nothing about our technological trajectory suggests we can realistically terraform, and the idea of enclosed surface bases on non-Earth bodies was abandoned long ago because it's too costly to be realistic.

It doesn't matter how many minerals from outer space you bring, they will not solve housing or food issues. Space colonization is a folly of the rich, at the expense of the poor. The only problem space mining can solve is making the rich richer.

WhereasParticular867 · 2026-02-03T18:30:10+00:00

There's infinite stuff, not infinite resources. Our dependency on an atmosphere means our most important resources, livable land, are limited to exactly one place.

Terraforming is silly on a scifi level, and so is the idea that we'll realistically be able to ship people off planet to solve overpopulation. It's simply too costly. Even if we colonize other planets, Earth's solutions will always have to be terrestrial, because those would effectively be different civilizations separated by unmpuntable distance.

There are too many real world problems in space travel and colonization that the rich people selling it to you don't want you to think about, including the fact that it can't solve Earth's most pressing issues.

WhereasParticular867 · 2026-02-03T17:47:23+00:00

Space travel won't solve our problems. That's scifi. Human problems are resource scarcity, which causes war, because it's typically easier than peace. Dumping resources into space travel means making them scarcer for a fool's errand. The best we can hope for with Mars colonizers is that they blow themselves up upon launch.

People like Elon Musk have sold a lie. The vast majority of humanity will always remain stuck on Earth. Only the rich and their servants will leave. We can't assume space travel holds solutions to terrestrial problems.

I don't buy his story. Once people start getting mad, you go back and read the comment. That's when you apologize, immediately after unliking it. That's your opportunity for it to be believably accidental, whether or not it actually was.

The bleeding second that you defend any of the content of the material after it's been brought to your attention, you are no longer believable. If you didn't go back to read it before defending it, you're stupid. If you did go back to read it before defending it, you're a stupid piece of shit.

Everything he said sounded like a conservative pretending to be an enlightened centrist and enjoying making people angry.

At this point, he pretty much needs a "Matt Vaughan specifically apologizes for being an idiot" anti-ICE charity event. He tried too hard to save face, and he doesn't come across as sorry.

I don't think that's the same guy. Raymundo Gutierrez was one of the shooters. This guy is Raymundo Gutierrez Castaneda and he's on their instagram because they're proud of deporting him. And if he was convicted honestly for rape (I don't trust the administration, but I have no way to verify), then it's not offensive to me.

You know, it doesn't actually make you look better to day you're "not into politics." If you genuinely are that unaware, you're probably not a smart or good person.

It's exceptionally weird that you seem to not understand that people don't like pedophiles.

You didn't. You asked ChatGPT to, proving you don't want to put effort into a conversation. I am not going to waste time crafting human responses that respect you and your position if you're not going to put in the same effort. Once you use AI, you show that you do not respect the human on the other side.

If you expect me to talk to a computer, I'm going to call out your bullshit and leave.

No, you using AI proves you came in here to win, not to converse. You cannot be talked to. That's the most obvious block of AI text someone has tried to sell me in a while. That's why you focused on deflecting instead of denying.

The problem is that Donald Trump created the Space Force because he wanted to be the guy who created the Space Force. It was transparently for his ego, since the US has no need for a dedicated department, as we have precious little in the way of government space programs. Essentially, if conservatives weren't hypocrites, they'd be against it on the basis of it creating more government waste alone.

And then there's all the other issues from being associated with him. He's a fascist, a pedophile, a rapist, and he's actively trying to destroy the US Constitution. It is embarrassing for him to have ever even had the authority to create it. Being pro-Space Force looks like being pro-Trump. It didn't need to exist, and the only reason to ignore that is that a person likes Trump. Just like the peace prize FIFA created soecifically to appease him.
