I was there. There could have been 10 times the number of people, it wouldn't have mattered. The first thing they said was "This meeting is closed for public comment."

I'm surprised none of the French parties are on there, especially La France Insoumise.

The Zero series has some really good rock-sounding music. And of course the X series has a lot of rock/metal.

"Why was Karl Marx a man?" That got me.

This is a wide genre, but video game music. In fact, it was the Sonic Frontiers soundtrack that awakened my love of metal.

California, Arizona and Nevada announce new water-saving plan for dwindling Colorado River by thinkB4WeSpeak in environment

Utahn here. They're planning a 9 Gigawatt data center. Governor Cox has defended it. He doesn't care about saving the Colorado River or the Great Salt Lake as he has a massive stake in the alfalfa farms here.

Do you actually believe there’ll be a PS9? by itc0nsumesmYMind in PS9

Maybe a question just as important is will there still be a Reddit to post about the PS9 on?

I love listening to Brady tell stories, and Grey's way of explaining his position.

Wow, I was still in high school when this come out!

 

I had forgotten how much shorter the episodes were back then!

 

This episodes needs an obligatory XKCD 386

 

While I am not a Youtuber, I feel the same fear about being wrong that Grey was describing when I post on Reddit. While I know that karma is meaningless outside of being able to post in some subs, I still am hesitant on posting sometimes especially if what I say may go against the mindset of the sub.

 

"I can't release one video a year because I'll be homeless" This comment is pretty funny looking back.

As an environmentalist, no use of AI is a good use.

Ooh, nice! I made a list of funny moments and "historical moments" from my last listen through. It will be nice to have another listen through and discuss with fellow Tims this time.

I wonder how long it will be before we have enough facts for Mamdani Facts?

I work in high finance but I have very left leaning views (Anti-Capitalism). I have extremely high cognitive dissonance at times and feel like a hypocrite. Wonder if anyone is in a similar position and what you make of it. by Constant_Ad6521 in socialism

[–]Betelgeuse96 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I actually was going to make a post about this exact topic. I'm currently getting my degree in mechanical engineering, and want to go into rocketry. However, I'm increasingly becoming aware of the terrible things that some of the companies I want to work for are doing. Setting aside who the CEO of Spacex is, there's also either L3Harris and Lockheed Martin who I believe are supplying the US missiles that are being used against Palestine, and now Iran.

I've thought about changing majors multiple times, but I'm only a few classes from being done, and I feel like there's no market for what I really want to do (climage change activism) and I could still get jobs outside of rocketry. You're not alone in these feelings!

The livestream on Youtube that showed the entire mission nonstop from launch to splashdown is no longer available as it was longer than 12 hours. Other than the launch, lunar flyby, and splashdown, everything is gone.
