- Comment on In the US, it's finally socially acceptable again to clap when the plane lands 3 hours ago:
If you’re not trolling - what a bizarre thing to tell a child. If children can’t be children, then who can??
- Comment on France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes 1 day ago:
So much has manifested in the ripple effects from the pursuit of great things.
- Comment on Leo knew it was a joke and laughed because it was just a joke 4 days ago:
the latter of which many look up to
When I read your whole comment, I feel like you’re ascribing the blame in the wrong place. It’s the “many” who choose to look up to these people, using their standards in place of their own, that I would say is the real issue here. Leo doing this does not normalize dating women for looks for me. Neither does Pharrell Williams buying a cybertruck and riding around in it influence or normalize cybertrucks for me. If people want things based on superficial reasons, they’ll learn that it’s only superficial and doesn’t have substance.

What does any of this have to do with this post specifically??

Didn’t they want to make an example of him because of what he believed in?
- Comment on Why are dwarf planets not considered planets but dwarf stars are considered stars? 1 week ago:
I kind of agree - though I’d say they are both about what they’re “doing”, as the small rock can’t do what the big rock can (clear its celestial neighborhood).
- Comment on what if another country staged a coup in the US and deposed trump? 1 week ago:
At this point I feel this is a self-coup, happening in America.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Safety???
- Comment on This is America 2 weeks ago:
That last bit is definitely not unique to the US. I’ve heard people from all parts of Europe, even when in the US, say they’re from Gloucester, or Antwerp, or Perth, or where have you. It’s not like they immediately say England, Belgium, or Australia every time. You’re definitely nitpicking this point.

According to the caption (Getty Images, Max Whittaker), I guess so!
- Comment on America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues 2 months ago:
I think it’s revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary.
- Comment on Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? 3 months ago:
So wait - why don’t we make an assembly line of trash into active volcanoes though?
- Comment on I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. 4 months ago:
- Comment on Starlink kit found amid wreckage of Russian drone 4 months ago:
Ukraine has been an enthusiastic adopter of Starlink after Elon Musk responded to Russia’s invasion by shipping antennas valued at over $80 million to the country
For some reason, I’m reminded of the Trojan Horse.
- Comment on Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash? 4 months ago:
You already know the saying about one man’s trash. Just use that if they ask about it.
- Comment on Since cats don't pant like dogs how do they release trapped heat? 4 months ago:
But pants also always cover the legs.
- Comment on What is the purpose of this plastic piece? 4 months ago:

- Comment on San Francisco says ‘good riddance’ as X prepares to leave 5 months ago:
It’s funny, I just finished Atlas Shrugged and it’s crazy how Ayn Rand got it wrong about those who can “do” must also have the highest moral standards.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 5 months ago:
people want Trump to hurt people, the poor, emigrants, people of color, LGBT. Many Americans want all these people to suffer, for no other reason than their mere existence. Somehow this is OK to even extend to women in general too!
I can understand that this might be true of people, but sooo many people in this country are women, poor, emigrants, people of color, LGBT. To have as much support as Trump manages to have, clearly there are people within these groups that target themselves… it makes no sense.
- Comment on So Starbucks’ CEO commutes to work by private jet? Let’s not pretend the super-rich care about the planet 5 months ago:
Money can only buy people if people still value the money. In a world where their money means less and less, they will have less power/ value and may not survive unscathed.
