I know we like to joke about the Rand 'having three weed smoking girlfriends' meme, but have we considered how dangerous that would be considering the warder bond they all share

"No officer I haven't smoked anything tonight. I am just getting second hand stoned through the psychic link I share with my three girlfriends who are all blazing it and now I think The Wheel is mad at me"

im so confused about the artemis thing because theres that post going around about how its propoganda and they make a lot of good points but people i care about a lot are really excited about it and i dont want to hurt them and honeslty im tired of things that look good being bad

Hey.

The fascists don’t like NASA.

They don’t want stuff like this to happen.

They want to give NASA’s budget to the already bloated military.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s fine to celebrate a massive peaceful scientific achievement that’s a collaboration between the US and Canada space programs during a time when there’s so much bad news elsewhere.

I personally hope that this encourages a lot of kids to grow up and defend our space agencies.

but DO techbros like nasa? a lot of techbros i see are super into the idea of privatized space travel industry and colonizing mars, the first of which nasa is directly opposed to, and the second which nasa isn't really focused on.

the techbros i see really aren't into the type of science nasa does focus on researching, which is far less glamorous than what they want.

[scrungledwung]

Not only do tech bros generally hate the quiet kind of science that NASA does alongside the flashy launches (NASA is a primary reason why we have literally any weather data in the US), but tech bros REALLY hate the other half of the Artemis Program that I don't really hear people talk about much

The Artemis Accords are one of the first large-scale civil policies about space and related activities to come about since the Outer Space Treaty in 1967. NASA wants to hold people (at least a little) accountable for the junk they're leaving in our orbit, and not enough people talked about this shit back when it got signed, so I wanna talk about it now

Artemis Accords - NASA

NASA, in coordination with the U.S. Department of State and seven other initial signatory nations, established the Artemis Accords in 2020.

IN NEGATIVE TWENTY DEGREES!!!!!

Please spread this around. Don't let ANYONE lie and say my community is anything but ASTONISHINGLY UNITED in rejection of ICE's behavior. This crosses generations, race lines, party lines, class lines. THAT is how bad ICE is. THAT is how bad we want them gone.

THAT is how loudly we are DEMANDING they leave!

Do you understand what a crowd like this means in a small city like Minneapolis??? In weather that hurts to breathe???

Can you imagine what that takes?

[ralfmaximus]

Bigger turnout than his inauguration!

[flock-of-cassowaries]

For readers outside the US: Negative twenty in American degrees is -29 Celsius.

I grew up in Canada, and when it was -25 C or below, they wouldn’t let us go outside for recess at school.

Like, everyone had boots and ski mittens and snowpants and winter coats, but still - indoor recess on those days. Cause the risk of frostbite was bad enough to justify everyone spending their lunch break supervising a classroom full of rowdy children.

That kind of cold is viscerally hostile to the human body. Your instincts will scream at you to GO INSIDE. It’s an environment that’s fundamentally physiologically unsafe, and you can feel that.

In the context of that weather, this turnout is even more compelling.

if sex work was legal the workers could unionize

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

I am fully serious about this btw. not "pro sex work" as in "there are no issues whatsoever within the industry", but "pro sex work" as in "these are jobs and the workers should be a) allowed to work and b) protected from their customers by the law"

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

people responding to this with stuff like "but that would just put sex workers in the same exploited position as uber drivers, cleaners, migrant workers, etc" and yes! good point! reform all of it! keep going!

i hate when rich people condescend with the whole 'money can't buy happiness' argument like listen. just because buying your fourth car didn't fill the void in your deluded disconnected-from-reality life doesn't mean not having to worry about food/ bills/medicine wouldn't greatly improve the mental health of literally everyone else on the planet

[durnesque-esque]

Fun fact: they've done studies and money DOES buy happiness, but it tops out after a certain amount (nowadays around $500,000)

So yeah, having food / bills / medicine & a fair amount of leisure covered by income DOES buy happiness, but excess wealth depletes the effect exponentially.

[queen-mihai]

And the "money doesn't buy happiness" thing is supposed to be AIMED AT RICH PEOPLE

Because the whole fucking point of it is that you're not gonna be any goddamn happier with ANOTHER million dollars

Fucking idiots

'the wheel of time is bioessentialist' is it really? or is every instance of a character thinking people of x gender are like y included to show their limited and flawed perspective and contrasted within the narrative with a counterfactual instance of the observed trait being purely human and not gendered?

why are we taking the unreliable narrators at their word?

guys you gotta stop thinking of women in their 30s as elderly it’s just misogyny

[courtesyname]

you also gotta stop thinking about actual elderly women as lesser human beings. Youth is not a measure of one’s worth.

horror movies are so much scarier when the actors look like an average sampling of the human population. and the house is a little messy

[jvlianbashir]

when everyone has veneers and the house is pristine and tastefully decorated: (in the back of my mind) these people were hand-selected for visual appeal. this is a set. this is a story

when the actor has a little acne and there are dirty dishes in the sink: aaaaahhhhh this is just like Me and My House ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

when everyone has veneers and the house is pristine and tastefully decorated: (in the front of my mind) these people had it coming

Sons of Honor: Urithiru, it's out there.

Ghostbloods: We'll find our answers at Urithiru.

Jasnah Kholin: The answer to defeat the voidbringers will be found in Urithiru.

Shallan Davar: I will finish Jasnah's research, I will uncover Urithiru.

Szeth Son-son Vallano Truthless of Shinovar, atop the highest tower on Roshar: What up cremlings, itsyaboy the Assassin in White. Just chillin' atop Urithiru. Today we'll be pondering the moral implications of "following orders." The voices are getting louder.

The books said "Aes Sedai basically look young and hot except for their eyes" and the show said "Aes Sedai don't look young, they just age slower, so they basically look middle aged and hot for a few centuries, then later they look super old and hot" and that was such a good artistic choice
