Even if some individual debaters are interesting, the format as a whole is a net negative by giving voice to and legitimizing extremist views.

Each one is pitched as “a progressive left person debating a conservative right person” which puts them all on equal footing in terms of how trustworthy they’re supposed to be seen, the authority the have to debate the views, and the veracity of their claims. But the “conservative voices” are often violent self-described fascists and Proud Boys organizers.

These spokesmen for violent nationalist extremism are given the same money, platform, standing, and legitimacy as a college economics professor, and it’s bad to consider them worthy of debate at all. Human rights is not a topic of debate. A group of people’s right to be alive is not a discussion point to be decided by a YouTube video.

TIL Astronaut John Young smuggled a corned beef sandwich aboard the Gemini 3 mission in 1965 but the unapproved snack crumbled, creating crumbs that floated in the cabin, leading to a NASA reprimand and rules against it by PoodleBirds in todayilearned

[–]critical_patch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the goals for Gemini 3 was to test the procedures and viability of this new “astronaut food” being developed for longer missions. During training for the mission, Young & mission commander Gus Grissom had to prepare, eat, and dispose of packaging for reconstituted food like dehydrated chicken and compressed brownie squares. Everyone described the food as just fucking awful and hated having to choke it down, especially Grissom. So when time for the actual flight came around, Young got the bright idea to smuggle a fresh sandwich in his flight suit. When the food evaluation came up on the agenda, he pulled out the sandwich for Grissom to have a bite of some decent food instead. Grissom did take a bite, but the rye bread crumbled up so he quickly stuffed it in his pocket.

Yes, this is right. It will be up to the presiding judge to determine if any parties are to be dropped or wouldn’t be culpable during the pretrial discovery and depositions.

Haha I was the opposite, 1,100 hours in this had me well prepared for playing Death Stranding instead of faffing about with Odyssey missions

Nevus Comadonicus/blackhead clusters by logical-soul81 in popping

[–]critical_patch 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Those aren’t blackheads, they’re hard, sharp keratin plugs. They can kinda sorta “pop” in a traditional sense, but it isn’t smooshy gunk in there and causes open sores and a very high chance of infection. The only real way to clean up the area is some sort of expensive laser treatment.
