The future of myself and my son does not depend on nor benefit from my anonymity. I'm not a revolutionary taking up arms I'm a voter and a citizen in disagreement. Unless I am seen and counted, then being any of those things is wo

I mean if you want to put your geopolitical blinkers on, sure...but how to beat America is old news at this point: cause casualties however you can, and wait for the US to give up. Complain about it all you want but what are you going to do

It's the surface details problem: people post nice sounding things on the internet but don't think about them and do the nostradamus thing of predicting everything because caused by everything. If you predict a corrupt cartel in &

I think what usually gets mixed up is how the responsibility works, and biological children sit at the overlap. The thing I most crucially remember about my son being born is that it felt downright easy to simply dive into all the things I

I mean you're demonstrating the exact problem right here: you aren't talking about any specific instances or processes, just vague concepts. "It's regulations" "it's nimbyism" "it's environm

Sure and sometimes you just need to actually issue safety equipment and install a fall net. The historical comparisons are complete BS: they wind up at "if we sacrifice enough people to the industrial god he will reward us" rather

Challenger was pretty directly caused by the Reagan admin pressuring NASA to launch it too, so yes? Politicians have pressured NASA for launches previously and it has killed astronauts.

Starship is starting to be a very long and not so cheap project though that doesn't seem to be making significant iterative improvements - Rockets are still exploding regularly where you'd expect them to have moved beyond that pha

The excessive focus on the nuclear family is itself a very recent trend that would otherwise be viewed as very odd by many if not most historical social organizing systems. Given the diversity of social models which have emerged globally, I

Whining about States rights to enslave people is certainly a take. Particularly when in context, the war was caused by the South acting to usurp abolition in the North via the legal system (i.e. Dredd Scott https://en.wikipedia.o
