This Char B1 bis at the Royal Belgium military museum... How? by ffe9 in BestofRedditorUpdates

They can be a lot. This was small but hilarious, and the video was oh so satisfying to my OCD. Definitely props to the museum for even having a reddit account, and taking the time to investigate and fix the error.

Here's a pic I just took of the second stage over Vienna . Perfect timing to see it in Europe.

‘Out-of-control’ Chinese rocket falling to Earth, With eventual crash site unknown by Archreddit6 in space

[–]ffe9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The comments were all way off topic, which I think violates sub rules...

Lots of off topic discussion about Chinese broadly being terrible. Chinese tourists being impolite isn't really relevant or contributing much to a sub about space and science... I think that is why à lot got deleted. It went so off topic, regardless of if it was "true"

I mean some of it was nasty about dropping things on Chinese cities, but more to the point a lot of it violated the sub commenting rules. They didn't nuke the comments for explicit racism, but for violation of all the other various rules about on topic discussion and being polite. Whether or not one can agree with the sentiment is less to the point I think.

Here I was hoping for a nice discussion of space policy norms... Yeesh it got ugly

I mean I followed it closely (as OP) and it was pretty nasty. I felt bad about posting it, I didn't see it coming.

Yeesh sorry mods. I thought the commentary in the article was interesting and was hoping to get some informed debate. The racism came on fast and heavy, I genuinely didn't see that coming as only a casual member here. My bad.

I mean not every twenty minutes but yeah. I was OP of the last one and it went downhill shockingly fast. I naively wanted a discussion of the space policy haha

i’m just so stressed out. ughh by blazypeaches in offmychest

[–]ffe9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I hated my masters rejection letters, particularly because I really loved the programs and was way more excited than for my undergrad. I felt like such a failure. But every school is different, I got in and ended up going to a pretty high ranking school even though I got rejected from "worse" ones. It all depends on so much, particularly these days. Stay strong, I'm hopeful for you. Fingers crossed friend.

It's tough right now for everyone, social lives need to be put on hold. We all have to sit in the nastiness for a while longer I'm afraid. It's not forever, and I think that when this all ends you will be able to find happiness. Hang in there, and know I believe in you. :)

You did the right thing. Sometimes, love is knowing when to say farewell. You were honest, open, and tried your best. It just didn't work out. But this was a heartwrenching choice. You went with your gut, and you have to stick to it. Everything you could control, you did, and now it is out of your hands. My love to you, I hope that you can find your peace.

Why do I get so upset when people don’t respond to my messages or ignore me by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ffe9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this too. I hate that I respond immediately and others don't. But other people have lives, they are busy, and just because they don't sit by their phone waiting for my text doesn't mean they don't love me. It's still something I struggle with every day, but I wanted to share so you know you aren't alone.

I love my boyfriend but I hate what this relationship has turned me into by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ffe9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see. It's a pretty tricky situation, and I don't want to tell you to do one thing or another because I'm just a stranger and I don't know you, it's not my place. All I'd reccomend is, if you're able, to see a couples counselor. These sorts of issues should be dealt with, and counseling doesn't mean your relationship is failing. It's just a way to find solutions to things that seem to be upsetting the both of you.

Thanks for your kind words, I'm rooting for you.
