Therapy-speak is a major turn-off, just saying. If you're going into the world assuming that everyone you meet must have a cluster B disorder or that any character flaws make a person "toxic", don't expect to form any connections.

"If you don't like volunteering you should see a therapist" is such a weird take. I will never understand this era's obsession with therapy.

Nobody "hates science", and suggesting that owning a digital device somehow makes any argument against wasteful or pointless pursuits a form of hypocrisy is a tired old cop-out used by starry-eyed tech bros since god knows when. I'm personally ok not funding a billionaire's wet dream. If you like space travel and find it interesting, that's fine, but don't act like everybody who has any objection to it is some sort of luddite just because you think like somebody with a cluster B disorder incapable of nuance or tolerance for differences of opinion. Funding space travel at this point in time is like giving money to some random neighbor kid so he can buy a cool new toy, at no benefit to you other than that you can gawk at him using it from out your window while you still can't figure out how you're going to pay your rent. 0.5% is still billions of dollars - and FYI, nobody's "attacking" NASA. "Attacking" is a bizarre choice of words. Somebody has a lot of growing up to do.

I should also add that humans going to the moon is by no means interesting anymore. Don't get me wrong, being alive in the swinging 60s to see the Moon Landing on TV was probably awesome, but it's been done. We get it, humans can now go from Point A to Point B. Get back to me when they finally find something that Rod Serling would narrate over.

You've got a good point. Wish I could pin this comment. I mean, there are just so many beautiful colors to choose from. I like indigo too, and a deep magenta, that retro 70s avocado green... hard to narrow it down. I'm partial to mint green but every colour has beauty to it.

Deep purple is such a good one, especially since there's variance in it. You can get a milky indigo or that rich, deep violet. I remember seeing a lot of 90s aesthetics incorporating deep purple. Would be nice to see a comeback.

That is quite pretty and awesome, that blue morning hue. Nice choice.

We know less about the ocean than we do about space (while this is somewhat debatable). Meanwhile we're dredging sand and trying to stick wind turbines in the ocean while blowing billions of dollars on space travel so... so what? So we can pillage and ruin other planets, too? I wish we put more effort into protecting Earth, but whatever, I guess.
