I mean, Oppenheimer at least seemed to regret what he did. Teller on the other hand was completely remorseless and unhinged.

A person can be rich in many ways. A coral reef is rich in biodiversity etc.
The rich refers to the group of people who are financially rich to an obscene extent.

I wouldn’t be so sure. There’s quite a lot of idiosyncrasies in the text, and those match the text in the image behind the ufo post linked at the end of this one. Using a LLM for a schizopost implies lazines, and would a lazy person edit together a screenshot in paint like that, not to mention spam the same text into so many communities and then respond to comments as much as they have?
We may be looking at the real deal here.

Instead of spamming this same text everywhere, you should get a formal education in physics and/or engineering and then get back to this idea of yours to see if it’s any good. Right now it just appears like schizophrenic rambling.

Thank you for the correction kind sir. My deepest apologies sir. English isn’t my native language. Would you perhaps care to elaborate on the claim made in your previous comment, so that this here conversation may have some substance beyond mere grammar.

Oh I understand it pretty well. I just take no pride in that. If I don’t remember something I can always look it up. Doesn’t mean it’s not impractical nonsense.

Bear in mind that there are multiple countries where English is the largest language and metric is used, and that English is the modern lingua franca. It just so happens that the largest english speaking country has some weird ways to measure things. As such those weird conventions are often forced on anyone who wants to look for a recipe in English, be that their native language or not.

I’m sorry but who are you referring to? I’m sure there’s idiots in every country, but that is quite an outlandish generalization to make if we’re still talking about entire continents.

Oh no. I just want to be rid of the imperial system. I would have no issue with it if it wasn’t a part of my life. Unfortunately I work in a field where imperial units are used world wide (apart from China and Russia for historical reasons). Because of this, I use some of those units myself every day at work. I understand some of them but take no pride in it. The only reason that the imperial system is still used so much is purely by convention. It is inferior to the metric system in every aspect. I do not feel superior to people who use imperial units because as stated above, I am one of them. People who I feel superior to are the ones who delude themselves into thinking that this somehow isn’t purely because of convention. I dislike them because they are forced upon me by international conventions. OP appears to dislike them because recipes written in English force those units into their life.

There is no pride in understanding a nonsensical system of measurements.

Sorry for the late reply. I admit I haven’t read the book and thus can’t comment on it, but the movie is a great commentary on fascism, because it surprises us by making us notice that “Wait a second, I’m rooting for the fascists. How did that happen?!”. The visual messaging is pretty clear with the giant eagles, Hugo Boss leather uniforms and overall militarlism and xenophobia.
Everyone gets free healthcare and education, as long as you’re part of ‘us’ instead of them. We’re used to the fascism where ‘us’ is some ethnic or religious group of humans and ‘them’ is all the other humans. In starship troopers however, the fascism gets to fly under the radar by making the entirety of humanity the in-group. The aliens don’t need to be dehumanized because they’re quite clearly not human. Yet they feel fear and are only reacting to the spread of humans into their neighbourhood, while humans are outright shouting for genocide. “The only good bug is a dead bug!”
- Comment on Male Loneliness 10 months ago:
I don’t disagree, but this context is a bit weird given that starship troopers depicts a rosy vision of the future but with fascism.

Of the 976 ever produced, only 22 DC-9’s remain in operation (as of last February). Not exactly a common plane to come across.
