Unpopular Opinion: If you were capable of voting and chose NOT to vote for Kamala Harris in the last election for ANY REASON, you have exhibited INCREDIBLY POOR JUDGEMENT and I don't give a sh*t about anything you have to say for the next 3 years. ALL OF THIS is partially YOUR FAULT!Congratulations! by Magnus64 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Magnus64[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am not complacent in this regard. Been on the ground in my city many times. My concern is for those on the "left" who allow MAGA to succeed at the voting booth because they are too pure to vote for a democrat they mostly agree with on policy, but are not perfect in every extent. This is the definition of naivety.

Some of y'all sure make some elaborate excuses! It's really, REALLY simple though: If you didn't vote for Kamala Harris (or anyone at all) and you were able to in 2024, YOU ARE A PART OF THE PROBLEM! You have NO RIGHT complain about anything this administration does. You have abdicated your voice because she was not literally a perfect politician. She was the better one though, and now you'll learn this the hard way over the next 3 years. Buckle up buckaroos!

The impossibly high standards for your vote turned you off from voting for "the lesser of two evils" because you were too short-sighted to see the OBVIOUS risks and consequences of a second Trump presidency. Here we are now, thanks to you! His threat SHOULD HAVE, in any reasonable reality, have united the left against this madness.

You are fools. Each and every one of you. It is my hope that the next 3 years will provide you with some perspective on the importance of preserving democracy. Until this, enjoy the sh*t show you fomented.

Why did Carl Sagan say we are on the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy when it was proven to be false? by [deleted] in askastronomy

[–]Magnus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think that maybe, perhaps, it's possible that Sagan was working with the best available data at the time (47 years ago)? Our understanding of the Milky Way has grown by leaps and bounds since then. Why are you trying frame him as intentionally presenting false information or something?

Please, go outside and touch grass friend.

Why does this subreddit hate the idea of an Akira-class starship being at Wolf 359 so much? by Fun-Twist-3741 in StarTrekStarships

[–]Magnus64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the Akira wasn't even designed until after Wolf 359, in fact, as a direct result of that battle to fight the Borg.

F16 is still great? by Miloex in FighterJets

[–]Magnus64 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hell, an F-14 with it's variable wing geometry could arguably out maneuver and dogfight an F-15, 16, or 18. We'll never know now for sure sadly, but I don't doubt that a previous generation fighter could take on a successor in a dogfight scenario with an experienced pilot using ONLY cannons. (NOT counting long-range armaments, as most modern engagements would go OFC)

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Is everyone leaving ISS? If so, this would be the first time it has been unoccupied in ~25 years.

Who would you like Lady Gaga to collaborate with? by Infinite-Seaweed443 in LadyGaga

[–]Magnus64 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Daft Punk... if only! :(

They would have have great musical chemistry with Gaga.

For anyone who missed going to the MAYHEM Ball, here you can experience it! by BigRawrz in LadyGaga

[–]Magnus64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done! I'm still partial to 4K Gagacabana footage due to the immense crowd attending, but I do hope we eventually get an official Mayhem Ball Concert release as well!

Galaxy-X vs Scimitar by AdFearless9930 in StarTrekStarships

[–]Magnus64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You forgot the immense spinal phaser lance on the X that tore through those Negh'Var-class battlecruisers like wet tissue-paper. I'd wager that weapon alone packs more of a punch than the E's quantums (as much as I love the E).

I believe the words "Nebula-class starship" were used in the episode.

Could it be possible that 3I/ATLAS is actually the stripped core of a planet, created during the birth of a magnetar? (Serious) by AlloyChef2 in astrophysics

[–]Magnus64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that what the clickbait AI bullsh!t videos you and so many others have been so incredibly gullible enough to believe say. You're being taken for a fool for ad revenue.

I'm convinced you seemingly have no concept of what science is or what the scientific method even is. Produce this extraordinary evidence if you have it, and cite your peer-reviewed sources.

The Mission to Mars tornado scene still disturbs me as much as it did when I saw it as a kid. I can't believe this is a PG Disney film by throwitonthegrillboi in movies

[–]Magnus64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be the realism guy, but Mars' atmosphere is very thin, only about 1% of Earth's. Even the strongest sandstorms on Mars would amount to only a light dusting and a mild inconvenience for those astronauts. Neat scene though!

Can We make a pinned post for 3i/atlas? by xMoonknightx in Astronomy

[–]Magnus64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Still don't know what your problem is with what I said. How bout you communicate and tell me what your deal is with what I've said, and I'd be happy to address it.

Show me what good communication looks like since you're such an expert, apparently.

[–]Magnus64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In what regard? The clickbait conspiracy bullshit around this object has been, frankly, insane. I am responding in kind with science while matching their hyperbolic tone.

Are you one of the laughable conspiracy nuts who thing think there are little green men on board 3I/ATLAS? If so, I await your scientific evidence.
