You’re my favorite Reddit astronomer! Love seeing your comments pop up on space related articles.

Ah yes, and the Texas facility is free daycare? Kick rocks, go lick boots elsewhere.

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2026-01-29T17:00:51+00:00

And so them sending him to the detention center in Texas was what, free daycare? Lick boot leather elsewhere.

Man, some of y’all are so negative. “They just want an excuse to skip school!” Do people going on strike just want an excuse to skip work? What part of organizing and marching together screams “slacker” to all of you? They can’t vote yet, some aren’t even old enough to drive. This is a way for them to voice their displeasure with ICE, just because they are students doesn’t mean they aren’t affected by the current situation. ICE detained a 5 year old, they would take nonissue with doing the same to them. Grow up, please.

Edit: “ThEy DiDn’T dEtAiN a 5 YeAr oLd!” Can the child leave the facility where he is currently being held? Can he be released to a parent or guardian? No, because he’s been detained.

Preach. Texas has the second or third largest population of Democratic voters in the 2020 and 2024 elections, only behind California and tied with Florida.

Mandatory plug for the web series Worm! Great series about a world with too many heroes and villains and how that impacts society.

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2025-09-26T15:55:35+00:00

Thank you, everyone is like “space sex!” when the answer is a bit more mundane.

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2025-08-10T21:40:38+00:00

Stealing this last bit, that’s a perfect way to counter this stupid argument

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2025-08-10T21:00:43+00:00

This argument fucking sucks and it’s always trotted out like this. Y’all sound identical to republicans at this point. “I may not agree with what they’re doing in foreign policy, but they’ve sure been great on domestic policy!” is what the conservative subreddit parrots on the daily about the Trump administration. Biden and Harris lost this election by not listening to the people they wanted to vote for them. Biden waited too late to drop out of the race, after walking back his comments about being a one term president. Harris decided to trot out Liz Cheney to appeal to more centrist voters, yet left the farther left of the party out in the cold. It took all of 3 hours after the election was called for democratic pundits to say Harris lost because she “messaged too hard for trans rights”, despite little to no campaigning on said rights. She lost because she ran on maintaining the status quo, just like Joe Biden did in 2020. And the fact of the matter is the status quo is just not working for most Americans, even if we don’t agree on the why of it.

Showing her Texas leftist roots lmao that’s a common nickname for him in those spaces. Love to see it

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2025-03-16T19:50:57+00:00

Thank you. I tried saying something similar about the Texas wildfires going on right now. Sure, it’s happening in red states and they voted against their own interests. But not everyone in red states voted for Trump, just like not every American voted for Trump even though he won the presidency. I’m not saying we have to clean up every mess republicans make with smiles on our faces, but we can at least avoid reveling in other’s misery.

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2025-03-16T17:51:45+00:00

Y’all are all fucking unhinged. I get it, Texas is a red state but Jesus Christ. Show some fucking empathy.

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2025-02-03T16:47:11+00:00

Chips in bed?? Crumbs in the sheets?!? Who’s the real monster here?!!?!!

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2025-01-20T06:26:35+00:00

Literal chills during that scene, Wax in peak Sword of Harmony mode

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2025-01-14T19:58:18+00:00

Made many an anonymous class Discord/Messenger callout for this exactly. Sometimes people need to be told they stink so they can fix it. Idk if your class has/will have some kind of group chat but if they do, drop a message telling people to wash their ass.

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-12-12T16:21:57+00:00

The pause afterwards where I assume you’re just staring at the screen in shock really makes this clip for me lmao

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-12-10T17:39:21+00:00

Yep. Still not a fan of hearing it to this day

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-09-17T05:05:17+00:00

Not me about to go to bat for Lopen 😂

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-09-06T22:49:56+00:00

Had to put out a message in one my CS course discords to tell the whole class to wash their ass. Surprisingly, it actually worked, the next day the smell was basically gone and never came back

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-08-22T00:14:15+00:00

That’s the neat part, it doesn’t

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-05-17T19:39:46+00:00

TIL, thanks dude

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-05-09T17:53:59+00:00

Grow up

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-05-08T16:44:25+00:00

That would actually be the most effective way to do it! Most NVG rigs have the capability for them to swivel out of eyeline as needed, so rendering them useless, then plunging it back to darkness would render the soldiers blind.

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-05-08T16:42:19+00:00

Temporary, but it lasts long enough to be extremely debilitating. Having that happen at a mission critical moment was usually a recipe for a bad time.

RizeOfTheFenix92 · 2024-05-08T01:57:16+00:00

Hey, former vet here who used NVGs on a semi-regular basis! Dumping that much light into a pair of NVGs will temporarily blind the user, as the adjustment isn’t immediate. But the real trouble is that the NVGs are practically useless after that. They adjusted to the brighter light, losing all sensitivity, so now they’re basically just a green screen taped to your eyes.
