  • The space race at large was all a cover for weapons development…

    It was two super powers on either side of the globe competing to show they could hit the other in the dick from that far away.

    Absolutely no one in either government who controlled funding ever gave a fuck about the science for science sake, or even PR.

    Shooting nuclear waste into the sun is a much saner reason that comes with all the bonuses. But obviously it’s for an ideal society after we solve wealth inequality so we can pay for it and actually use the developments for science and not killing each other.


  • That would take more effort and energy than just dealing with it on earth by many orders of magnitude. It’s even harder to launch into the sun than it is to launch it outside the solar system (which is also infeasible of course)

    Yep, it would be a wealth sink that drastically advances science and pays off later.

    Just like going to the moon was an excuse to develop ICBM technology, that also paid off with a shit ton of unexpected scientific advancement.








  • That makes no sense and you’re still both telling people to take dangerous amounts of supplements.

    If what you’re trying to say is the products you just recommended by name lie and really contain waaaaaaaaaay less and that’s why you’re able to take so much…

    Then you should just recommend people take normal dosages from brands that can be trusted.

    Or better yet, stop recommending medical advice to anyone, because anyone stupid enough to listen to you will suffer real harm.

    Take that shit back to Facebook or tiktok


  • In the 90s they put random English phrases instead of translating.

    The fact that everything alive must someday die, isn’t really that dark in Eastern cultures/religions.

    It just is what it is. They’re not saying to wipe life out, just that not accepting that everything will eventually die will only lead to emotional pain later.

    Like…

    You don’t understand it, but you made the case for why the originals just had random nonsense put it in. If you can remember those games you’re an adult now, and you still don’t understand what they’re saying.



  • 4k a day overtime is when you can get toxicity…

    Most supplements are a tenth of that, and doctors usually won’t recommend over 600/day…

    You say you were taking 8k a day bro.

    Even the 50k/14 days is just under when toxicity normally happens. But it’s probably because you’re pushing to take an absolutely insane amount and she wanted to first get you under the limit.

    So I would like to know, in your opinion

    Stop fucking asking random people and listen to your doctor.

    The reason your blood levels is normal, is all that calcium is forming kidney stones. Those will be incredibly painful, and will teach you the lesson if you haven’t learned it in a couple years.




  • You don’t need to be a billionaire or even own a boat…

    People stage accidents on rented boats and even cruise ships fairly often.

    Regardless of if it works and they get away with it, a lot of people have seen Dexter.

    Billionaires can just outspend the government on lawyers to get away with anything. So there’s probably a higher percentage who assume they can get away with it.

    Because DA’s are obsessed with win rate, they give cushy plea deals to people who can pay for good lawyers. Regular people and the government are the opposite, and innocent people are forced to take plea deals because time served and probation is always better than a 1% chance of 25 years in prison.

    For a billionaire they just have to keep stalling till the money runs out. Even where Kirk got shot, the local officials were immediately freaking out over how they were going to pay for it all. So it doesn’t even take being a millionaire in some places. There’s a reason the children of lawyers are usually insufferable…




  • It’s not innate…

    Innately humans are just animals. It takes effort to get people on the same page that cooperating is usually best

    But we stopped teaching kids that in school 20 years ago.

    That’s the sad truth about it. It’s not that the right corrupted a generation, just that between them an the neoliberals, no one wanted to help them. They both wanted brain dead tribalism because that’s what their mutual donors want

    It honestly shouldn’t be that hard for everyone to follow the string back to "no child left behind’ but I remember pointing out this would happen 30 years ago, and I thought it was obvious back then too.
