  • All these answers are so killjoy and boring.

    Yes, fantasizing about billionaires fixing everything by making good on their bullshit marketing pitches is very exciting to credulous people.

    Building habitats on other worlds doesn’t prevent us from caring for this one.

    If you believe that there’s some magic means to have zero emissions launches into space that are in any way self-sustained without further launches to keep throwing resources after spent resources from an increasingly polluted, depleted, and warming Earth, sure, you can huff that hopium deep and hard and ignore the worsening material reality all around you.

    Plus maybe trying to make a liveable environment in space can give us new insights in preserving the one at home.

    You’ve bought deeply into billionaire bullshit and their bogus promises, especially as privatized space travel in the west becomes increasingly vanity tourism and marketing stunts. The accomplishments that such companies’ underpaid and overworked workers achieve are not for the common good, nor can they be because they are publicly subsidized private companies seeking to maximize profits and expand their own venture capital appeal, and nothing more.







  • I’m open to an explanation of a commonplace situation where it’s necessary to have a separate word for “is of the gender that matches that assigned at birth.”

    Any time that you assume something is some vague obvious-to-you “normal” by default and insist that everyone else that isn’t that “normal” requires a distinct identifier.

    You sound like a typical boomer that describes the ethnicity of anyone except those the boomer otherwise sees as “normal.” us-foreign-policy

    To me it’s like if I say I enjoyed the sunrise" and someone says, “you mean the Earth sunrise?”

    You don’t live light years away from trans people.

    a human is likely to be talking about is the one we experience on Earth.

    Do you not see the tiny bubble world you’re perceiving everyone else from when you presume “a human” by default is only perceiving your tiny bubble world and otherwise doesn’t count?
