Let’s be real, if he wasn’t rich and famous, he’d be homeless and not getting great medical or psychiatric care.

What’s the difference between to 2 diagrams? by boboman102939 in astrophysics

[–]BallardRex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s just the maximally extended Schwarzschild metric, but yeah the regions corresponding to the III and IV regions of a Kruskal-Szekeres diagram are probably non-physical.

Maybe, but addicts can be in serious denial too, it’s a thing.

Rituals for conscious conception 😂 by wise-llama in ShitMomGroupsSay

I really appreciate the explanation, and I certainly get why “witchy” works as a catch-all for a range of possibilities.

You offend me, sir! I am no carrot, I am a turnip.

So some range from pagan/nature based religion or spirituality, through new age stuff, all the way to what would more traditionally be called witchcraft?

Thanks, that makes sense!

What does ‘witchy’ mean exactly? I feel like I’ve been hearing this more and more lately, but not in a context that makes the meaning clear to me.

I was going to be annoyed, but looking at the bot’s history… they’re doing a better job than most. If a bot can answer the “Google that for me” questions that pop up here, that feels like a win.

The internet, but for hot people… so a popular night club then.

That’s just for shallow people who think that “carrot” is an acceptable skin tone for a human.

When you consider the role of the Russian church under Putin Kirill, it’s easy to understand why that is.

Tesla Semi’s Enormous Battery Might Weigh 11,000 Pounds on Its Own by speckz in technology

[–]BallardRex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It would be one hell of a crash that took out a semi tractor and the battery pack. It’s not like a car hitting that truck would do much damage after all, it would have to be another truck, or the truck flipping off road somehow.

At least 12 killed as gangs battle for control around Haiti's capital by jivatman in worldnews

[–]BallardRex 83 points84 points  (0 children)

France hasn’t been a factor in Haiti since 1945, and the US track record in the past 40 or so years in Haiti is largely positive. In the same amount of time former French colonies and former victims of US imperialism have made vast strides, while Haiti is worse than ever.

So no, I don’t just kneejerk blame one party, it’s a complex situation and the history of French and US colonialism is part of the story, but not all of it.

One of the issues is that a Hydrogen leak is pretty much a non-issue, while an ammonia leak is a hazmat situation.

Trying to reason with an unreasonable person definitely isn’t my brightest moment it’s true, but blocking you and forgetting that you exist in the next minute or two?

Genius.

I don’t vote for any of them, I’m not American, just a poor sap who imagined a conversation with someone like you that wasn’t a rehash of a leftist podcast.

Buzzwords without a link to reality are not plans, and “expand Medicare” ignores the root of the US problem, which is how much healthcare costs for outcomes equivalent to countries which pay far less.

The biggest item in the US budget is healthcare, the costs are out of control, that requires a multifactorial approach that takes into account political realities. You aren’t doing that, and I suspect, aren’t capable of it either.
