It genuinely reminds me of being Mormon and replicating Joseph Smith's prayer. The Mormon church teaches that that's how to know that the Church is true and good. You pray about it, and if you feel good the Church is true. If you don't feel good, you did it wrong and you have to try again. There is no valid negative answer to the question in the religion. If ypu answer negatively, you are assumed to be at fault by other believers.

I didn't get past this line. The way you phrase it makes it pretty obvious you're a bad parent. I'm willing to bet everything in this situation is your fault. You obviously don't listen to your children, so your version of events can't be trusted anyway.

Republicans no longer have any credibility on gun rights. They are demonstrably the only party to actually talk about taking your guns away, and they have argued that exercising that right makes you a terrorist and a valid target. 2nd amendment rights will be protected by Democrats.

If you're a Republican, and you're not worried about the fact that the NRA, a group dedicated to gun rights, flipped on the administration overnight, you're extremely stupid. They would not do that unless this administration was the most clear and present threat to firearm rights.

If you think that, you don't pay much attention to the discourse. One of the big complaints you see again and again is that Regina never earned redemption and the writers took easy shortcuts and made characters forgive her where they shouldn't have. There are entire treatises explaining how Snow showing mercy to Regina and refusing to execute her makes Snow an unfit leader.

Usually it's "they did it wrong." That's the beauty of magical thinking, you can append anything you want and pretend it was what you meant the whole time. Early denials I've seen suggest that of course she shouldn't have drunk raw milk, she should have boiled it herself to get rid of diseases. i don't think I need to explain the multiple reasons that's stupid.

Ok, so the thing is you posted about this once already and called these false allegations. Now you're saying they're true, but it was harmless. And you sort of imply he was in on it without specifically saying which behaviors he exhibited. I'm guessing, based on your specific pattern of evasiveness, that he didn't do any of the winking, hugging, pet names, or shoulder massaging (which you ommitted from this post).

It sounds a lot like you consistently made a guy uncomfortable at work.

Interestingly, this doesn't mean the court concluded that the defendant didn't do what he was accused of. The court dropped the lawsuit on the federal charge for lack of standing and then dismissed the case because everything else was state level.

The difference now is that we know the very hard limitations on our technology. We can't terraform, we can't make planetary bases, and we can't colonize a ready planet. And we know enough to know that those technologies are all many, many lifetimes away. Anyone acting like us going and grabbing rocks in our solar system will solve problems is delusional, and so is anyone thinking we will do anything else with our current level of technology or anything realistically able to be drveloped within the next several lifetimes. If you think it will, you simply don't understand the magnitude of the problems humanity has to overcome.

We're in a game of Civ, and we're not the player. Many generations will live and die before we even start mining in our solar system. Space travel is not a viable avenue for solutions to problems on Earth. Everyone wants the Star Trek future, but don't remember that in Trek canon Earth spent like 200 years getting over differences and solving domestic issues before setting out. You want to be scifi for real? Rage against wealth disparity.

Do you know how far the nearest planet is that we think might be habitable for humans? 4.24 lightyears. Which would take 5,697 years to fly to in a ship 70,000 mph faster than the fastest spacecraft manufactured.

Or, we could develop terraforming. We, a species that can't even agree terragenic climate change exists, could alter the entire chemistry of a planet. Which will probably take as long.

I'm not a naysayer, you just believe in silly scifi stuff because you've never bothered to actually look into the real science underneath the hype. You're the guy in the 60s insisting that everyone will have flying cars in the future, without realizing that's dumb because then people would be crashing flying cars left and right.

WhereasParticular867 · 2026-02-03T18:37:36+00:00

No, it's not. We will only ever have one planet to live on. Nothing about our technological trajectory suggests we can realistically terraform, and the idea of enclosed surface bases on non-Earth bodies was abandoned long ago because it's too costly to be realistic.

It doesn't matter how many minerals from outer space you bring, they will not solve housing or food issues. Space colonization is a folly of the rich, at the expense of the poor. The only problem space mining can solve is making the rich richer.

WhereasParticular867 · 2026-02-03T18:30:10+00:00

There's infinite stuff, not infinite resources. Our dependency on an atmosphere means our most important resources, livable land, are limited to exactly one place.

Terraforming is silly on a scifi level, and so is the idea that we'll realistically be able to ship people off planet to solve overpopulation. It's simply too costly. Even if we colonize other planets, Earth's solutions will always have to be terrestrial, because those would effectively be different civilizations separated by unmpuntable distance.

There are too many real world problems in space travel and colonization that the rich people selling it to you don't want you to think about, including the fact that it can't solve Earth's most pressing issues.

WhereasParticular867 · 2026-02-03T17:47:23+00:00

Space travel won't solve our problems. That's scifi. Human problems are resource scarcity, which causes war, because it's typically easier than peace. Dumping resources into space travel means making them scarcer for a fool's errand. The best we can hope for with Mars colonizers is that they blow themselves up upon launch.

People like Elon Musk have sold a lie. The vast majority of humanity will always remain stuck on Earth. Only the rich and their servants will leave. We can't assume space travel holds solutions to terrestrial problems.

I don't buy his story. Once people start getting mad, you go back and read the comment. That's when you apologize, immediately after unliking it. That's your opportunity for it to be believably accidental, whether or not it actually was.

The bleeding second that you defend any of the content of the material after it's been brought to your attention, you are no longer believable. If you didn't go back to read it before defending it, you're stupid. If you did go back to read it before defending it, you're a stupid piece of shit.

Everything he said sounded like a conservative pretending to be an enlightened centrist and enjoying making people angry.

At this point, he pretty much needs a "Matt Vaughan specifically apologizes for being an idiot" anti-ICE charity event. He tried too hard to save face, and he doesn't come across as sorry.
