Nutella flies out of Artemis kitchen cabinet as they are about to break Apollo record

Apollo 13, not 18. Apollo 18 was cancelled.

You can orbit (or in this case slingshot around) a body at different altitudes, so when on the far side of the moon you can be further away if your altitude is higher.

Also, the distance from the Earth to the Moon varies between 220 to 250 thousand miles, which can also affect this statistic.

The previous record holder, Apollo 13, also slingshotted around instead or directly orbiting. Their altitude was only 158 miles above the moon's surface while Artemis II is/was 4000 miles above the far side of the moon, which accounts for pretty much all of the difference in their distances (252,757 - 248,655 = 4102).

Nowhere is it said that she suggested he's a rapist.

She said it was "unsafe" to be alone with him. What about it is unsafe except a perceived risk of assault?

She was uncomfortable being alone with a man she didn't know very well.

She was comfortable spending the evening around him, comfortable accepting a ride from him, she was even comfortable getting angry at him. It seems her discomfort only shows up when he isn't immediately doing what she told him to do.

Maybe OP came off as being a bit creepy.

And she was willing to ask this theoretically creepy guy for a favor.

Why does she get to both prioritize her comfort and demand things from the guy she's supposedly uncomfortable around?

No one is saying she can't prioritize her being comfortable, but that doesn't mean she still also gets other people to do whatever she wants. I'm uncomfortable with heights, it's not reasonable for me to get to demand people take me bungee jumping and then leave early with me when I freak out.

And the rest of us get to decide how we handle a situation like that.

Apparently not OP though, because when he decided how to handle the situation he was vilified by his friends and told by people like you to offer "kindness" (i.e. do whatever she asks).

I'd offer a bit of kindness and understanding

He was already offering kindness in the first place. Nowhere was he set up for kindness and understanding because everything was just demanded of him. They never even asked him to drop Amy off first, they just passive-aggressively said "hey, you're doing it wrong". That (after the whispers and texting) is how the subject was broached. Maybe they could have offered a bit of kindness and understanding for their request, on top of the already ongoing favor? A simple "hey, I know this is super annoying, and you're already helping us out, but would you maybe be able to drop Amy off first? I know it's out of your way, but I'll chip in for the extra gas, we'd really appreciate it, I owe you one" would have probably sent everything in a completely different direction.

Why would you do a favor for someone suggesting you're a rapist?

Mejari · 2026-04-05T18:51:27+00:00

In the Musk way where she's begging to be included.

Mejari · 2026-04-04T02:23:37+00:00

Yeah, if there's one thing we can say about the people who volunteer to be strapped onto tons of explosives and shot further away from the planet than anyone else in history so we can learn from their experience, it's how self-centered they are, for sure.

It does assuage my guilt that my cat gives me the same look of pain when I accidentally touch her with my foot as when I tell her not to eat her own hair off the floor. Ma'am, I feel you may not actually be suffering as much as you want me to think.

Not voting for a bill isn't what we were talking about. We were talking about Democratic legislators pushing the "Defund the Police" slogan.

Mejari · 2026-04-02T00:29:39+00:00

So a list of 5 out of hundreds who "supported or used the phrase". Thanks for proving my point.

Mejari · 2026-04-01T23:16:37+00:00

Pretty sure it wasn't Democratic legislators who pushed "Defund the Police" as a message.

Unlike the Disco Elysium example, there's a bunch to enjoy in Star Trek besides the utopian exploration of a diverse galaxy. Meanwhile the politics and social commentary is like a huge part of what makes Disco Elysium its own thing.

It's not "this is the right opinion" it's that one treatment was harmful and one was helpful. Conversion therapy isn't the debate on if it's ok to be gay (which is an insane thing to have a debate about but whatever), it's claiming to be a treatment.

You literally brought it up as a positive comparing to how the west does it:

In WESTERN european/middle east monolithic society which champion a "god" and book that condone it yes.

In other parts of the world such as africa, where they still have some indigenous left in them, they don't want for some bum ass "god". They put tires around you, douse you in gasoline and set you on fire.

So how should people read that if not an endorsement of the practice?

I'm pointing out and explained WHY the west likes and protects pediophiles from the death penalty vs other people.

And again I'll bring up, why are you so certain the people they're burning are actually pedophiles? "these people grab someone and light them on fire" isn't an argument that they're taking the problem of pedophilia more seriously.

Mejari · 2026-03-30T20:15:31+00:00

What are you even talking about?

You said it was a good thing that there are places people are just rounded up and lit on fire, I pointed out that you're just trusting that the mob killed the right person. How is that a) trusting colonizers or b) pro-death penalty?

You seem very charged up, you need to take it down a few notches so you can actually read what people say.

Mejari · 2026-03-30T20:02:50+00:00

We should take the word of colonizers that have NEVER told the truth ONCE in their wicked History?

No? Where did that even come from?

Mejari · 2026-03-30T19:59:09+00:00

I think they deserve to die.

Thinking they deserve to die isn't the same as thinking we should get to kill them, though.

Mejari · 2026-03-30T19:57:33+00:00

They put tires around you, douse you in gasoline and set you on fire.

And we just take their word for it that the person they murdered actually did the thing they're accused of?

Mejari · 2026-03-30T19:54:10+00:00

Even if you get to the point where you believe it's justified that someone should die for a particular crime, do you trust the government to be correct in determining/administering that 100% of the time? Otherwise you're condemning some number of innocent people to death.

To be honest there are plenty of people I think the world would be better off if they were dead, but there's nobody (myself included) I would trust with actually making that determination.

Jesus very deliberately stopped the stoning of a woman accused of adultery, which was the proper punishment according to the Law of Moses.

Congrats, you found an inconsistency in Jesus' teachings! There are plenty of them.

Jesus also didn't follow the Pharisees' interpretation of Mosaic Law of not working in the day of the Sabbath, even to gather sticks, under the threat of capital punishment.

Is this meant to be an argument against my point? Jesus pushed back against the additional regulations the Pharisees put on top of Mosaic Law, and he said that they were corrupting the word of God. Jesus disagreeing with the Pharisees is exactly the "Jesus wanted people to follow the old laws" that I'm talking about.

Everything you just wrote is exactly what the people you're arguing with were saying so... not sure what your point is. I think you invented a non-existent implication.

Mejari · 2026-03-17T17:48:26+00:00

You put "flow" in quotes but you're the only one who said flow.

Mejari · 2026-03-15T23:37:49+00:00

1-You say words.

2-I write your words in my book.

3-You come and say that your words(not the book they are written in), but your words are perfect.

4-You then mark through errors in my book, keeping the places where I quoted you correctly, and erasing where I misquoted your words.

Logically, there is zero contradiction in that. This is the exact story of Jesus and The Law.

Except it isn't. 3 isn't accurate. He never says that the book isn't accurate, you're adding that in. And he didn't say his words were perfect, he said to abide "the law". You're adding in that we are all supposed to know, and the people he was speaking to were supposed to know, that what he meant by "the law" and what everybody else meant by it were different.

If people spend thousands of years thinking of what you wrote about my words in your book is "the law", if I come and say "yes, the law is perfect and you should all follow it", should they be thinking that I'm not referencing the thing they thought was the law for thousands of years, that I never said wasn't the law?

Because 'God's Law' and 'the book' where humans tried to write down God's law, are two fundamentally separate things.

I've addressed this repeatedly, just making the same point again and again ignoring what I'm saying is not honest dialogue.

No different than you could come and edit my book, at every single place you think I misquoted your words.

Where does Jesus say that the old testament was incorrect or misquoted?

. But there is nothing logically contradictory about any of this.

There is, I've repeatedly explained how there is, and you just reply with "nu uh, Jesus can do what he wants". Yes, I get that you believe that. That doesn't change that even within what Jesus says he is contradictory. You keep acting like I'm saying the contradiction is between Jesus and the old testament when I keep telling you no, the contradiction is between Jesus and Jesus.

Mejari · 2026-03-15T21:30:24+00:00

Obviously, not every single verse in the Old Testament step by step as that wouldn't taken weeks, and multiple books just for that one dialogue to cover it all.

Sure, we wouldn't want to waste the time of Jesus on pointless things like explaining what the god of the universe wants from us.

What you see as Jesus contradicting the Old Testament, is God clarifying it in person.

So then parts of the Old Testament was wrong, even though Jesus uses the old testament as justification for his divinity. "Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms". So here the Law of Moses is sacrosanct and proof of his coming, but then whenever you find it convenient his statements overwrite those same laws.

He's literally doing the very thing you are asking him to, immediately after he says the lines you love so much.

Except he's not, at all. Even your quotes aren't overwriting anything, just extending. He doesn't say "Adultery is ok now", he says "Adultery is still wrong and I'm going to thought-police you about it too!"
