To be fair, that similar stuff is how loona had their international fame in first place
Regardless of it being irrational or amateurish, it is also the fanbase's identity

Of course fans as well as labels and artists themselves share responsibility on what to hop onto and what not on

ok yeah there's the worry about the oxides, usually people bring up space debris when complaining about starlink
and yeah spacex is the only company with a substantial network so naturally its gonna be mostly them
fossil basin
I just do not think something as vital as space expiditions should be privatized, not solely on elon, but he is the one with most outrageous premises
Something like this converting from international efforts to a mere billionarie expedition would also decrease chances of nations coming under a common goal

spacex is only ahead because they're private

I just want the money spent to be as efficient as possible, unsure if a non-state/non-international-committee controlled organization should be trusted with it

space missions conducted by government agencies are basically always for scientific purposes and generally have cooperation between different countries
spacex afaik it just doing rockets to send payloads into space no? and they're planning on having some sort of commercialized way of sending people into space right
same for that bezos company

spacex has contracts for doing part of nasas artemis program

Or mostly
idk about early on the space race and shit
hoary charm
seems so at least for sls
trim flicker
tldr is that spaceX isn't a space research agency they just be building rockets
the international cooperation for scientific research has always been a thing
and it is still a thing
theres no incentive to send astronauts into the moon or mars or whatever bc the science can be done through other means without risking someone's life
hoary charm
russia and china being adversarial doesnt really help for cooperation with the US either
and EU being EU is just decades behind
eager parrot
spacex is a lot more intertwined with nasa research and development than one may imagine, just out of necessity
trim flicker
Yeah it's just that there's a difference there between the cooperation for research and cooperation for... manufacturing propulsion engines and stuff
eager parrot
well they also build the secondary stages like the dragon spacecraft, where a lot of the research can happen or at least carries it to the space station for it to happen
it's really not just rockets, they also build satellites, I mean starlink is part of spaceX
eager parrot
I just don't think there's any merit left in leaving such things in government hands only when they've proven over several decades that they're perfectly happy to spend taxpayers money and do nothing (and pay off their own constituency's factories and such)
a mix of private and government seems to have accelerated the pace to 1960's level of research and development
both in launch vehicles and otherwise other forms of space exploration
SLS is the last remnant of that old era
such a colossal waste of money that perfectly encapsulates government complacency, stagnation and embezzlement

nah, having spoken to quite a few men at work and even a few women who are all going to vote for Trump, I think the fascist thing is what they want.
like they genuinely want their candidate to go full scorched earth against the opposition in a fascist way.
the fascist comment might work on a marginal average undecided independent voter, just enough to turn the tide, but it will not make a dent on the GOP base who will never vote Harris, or the Democratic base who would have never even considered voting Trump anyway.
forest sigil
I've just heard they are ok with a dictator but never used fascist

Quick question - I've been seeing people say that the recent election polls (which present a statistical tie) have been paid off to present things as better for Trump than they actually are, or something of the sort. Is there any truth to it?

Somewhat, there are a lot of garbage polls from republican leaning pollsters (identified by the general rep/dem split in their sample) that make their way into polling averages and shift them to trump
But theres also just the fact that the usual margin of error for these is like 3% so harris +2, trump+1 and trump+4 could all be valid results from the same electorate

kick is where you go when you've been shitty enough to get permabanned off twitch
and with what twitch tolerates nowadays, thats an accomplishment

Why are people mad at Simu Liu for critcizing the Bobba entraprenaur?
I am mad at him for other things quite unrelated to this, but i think he was quite justified in the whole episode/segment?
Making a product "less ethnic" is a horrible comment, and also, their claims of having invented "fruit juice in boba pearls" and "popping boba" is extremely far from truth even here in Turkey we have both widespread both in local and imported pearls??
I was quite horrified to see a lot of redditors accusing simu liu of cultural appropriation because he is not taiwanese, and not those white entreprenaurs completely mistaking anything about the product they are trying to sell
brave pelican
i didnt know people were mad at him about that
probably the only time i've ever agreed on anything he has ever said
fossil basin
apparently they are for some reason
non-ethnic people are not "forbidden" from selling a specific ethnic food, but they are ought to know more about the product they are selling, not turn this into a ridicule of culture or an erasure of it to "better" the product, or just not make extremely false claims
popping boba is not "non-asian" like those entrepreneurs claim it is, i had seen bubble tea shops in different provinces of Turkey both have local-produced popping boba, or switching to Taiwanese-imported popping bobas and more, arguably popping bobas are more popular here in Turkey, even in some normal cafes, in developed areas, you might be able to find popping boba drinks
it's not as popular as in having bubble tea shops in each street and such, atleast yet, but it is atleast findable
there is even the "bottled" boba that's sold here, albeit the quality is not "as" great, it is still not a horrid drink
but one thing clear, those Bobba salespeople are lying about what they have invented
unless there is no places that sell bubble tea in entirety of Canada
near jetty
that's crazy
fossil basin
Like those people are on Shark Tank trying to claim they invented something that exists for like atleast 5 years
Likely longer, i had seen bubble tea with similar specifications in turkey a lot
In a less prude country, alcoholic bubble tea might also exist

Also gotta say the dem shift on capitulating to the border and immigration scare is very bad
marsh oracle
the worst part about it is that they have to or they get fucked in the election
eager parrot
They weren't going to until the southern states started sending planes and buses full of the immigrants into the northeastern states.
The border and immigration crisis in the US is real and pretending that it isn't would lose their down ballot candidates a lot of seats. At some point they have to appeal beyond their solid democratic base to win an election after all.
Just look at how the New York communities that received like 30-50 immigrants reacted to them to know exactly what these so-called democrats truly think about immigration.
marsh oracle
the problem is that trump killed the one attempt to actually fix it legislatively and gets seemingly no pushback by the electorate for it
blazing depot
Calling it a crisis when managing it would actually be really simple for a country the size of the USA if people would stop pretending big waves of immigrants were new and stopped being racist fucks is a choice.
marsh oracle
trump himself obviously doesnt have solutions but his teams solution is apparently mass deportation which is gonna fuck the us economy harder than the last 3 recessions combined
blazing depot
The focus on the current wave of iimigrants is the exact same as what that country has done to every other one
eager parrot
Grumpy, this isn't exclusive to the US, even Canada has had a turn against immigration recently. Freaking Canada of all places. Not to mention many western european countries. There's a crisis and politicians will take full advantage of it while still doing absolutely nothing about it.

Italians. 
The Irish
COuntry literally built on racism and the back of those you were racist against just be like
eager parrot
And yeah it's just a repeat of the last dozen or so immigration scares of the past 150 years.
Italians, Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Jews, Japanese again, heck America had a full-on Mexican repatriation program in the 1920's and 1930's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Repatriation
Like, citizens included.
And we are in the 20's of a new century after all.
But when the populace demands things, a representative democracy can't just pretend people don't think this way, the politicians want to get elected after all, and more important to them than anything is getting elected and re-elected. Morals and ethics be damned.
marsh oracle
Oh dont worry, the people behind trump arent doing this despite their beliefs
trim flicker
The main thing is that the immigrants aren't the issue but the process of immigration being shit and underfunded
My issue is the dems haven't really pushed back on the messaging, they've just been saying that they had an ultraconservative bill in congress that trump blocked. Which just gives validity to the messaging that the immigrants themselves are bad
eager parrot
Oh dont worry, the people behind trump arent doing this despite their beliefs

I mean US universities literally grouped whites and asians together when they were using their 'affirmative action' enrollment process before the Supreme Court blocked it after decades.

The problem is that when you tell people illegal immigrants arent the problem you will have to invest a ton into infrastructure so they dont immediately slide into poverty. With how america currently is, you arent getting that investment done
