I liked the alien tech angle though. Especially since magic and curses already exist in the Wolfenstein universe. Left behind alien tech, crashed UFOs is not very far off.

Huge fan of Esperanto. I read an article a few years back talking about Esperanto in China. With translation software getting so good, a lot of young Chinese people are skipping out on learning English as a second language and more and more (although still a small number) people are picking up Esperanto. The concept of a “universal auxiliary language” is really appealing too, I really wish it was more widespread.

Bud light flavored

The 2010s had very few things going for it culturally. Some good video games, a good movie here and there. Frutiger Aero? That was kinda cool right? But overall? The 2010s sucked. I was an angsty teen in most of the 2010s, and so naturally I have a bias against that time period. I hated the fashion choices, the uggs, the white woman fallcore aesthetic, curly moustaches, gross. The pop music? Wack. Awful. Mumford and sons were a poison on this earth. Imagine dragon? Eeessshhh. It’s like the one decade the Mormons ate good in lol.

Sorry, are we just all taking the cops word for it? A group of class traitors, known for lying and false arrests? No, they saw this guy on a security camera, and decided to frame someone so their billionaire bosses would feel contempt. I’m not believing anything from the cops mouths.

But if this is the guy, maybe more right wing chuds will shoot CEOs. Two birds with one stone kinda thing. No one loses here.

I just realized I embarrassed myself. Ok yes that movie is terrible lol

I refuse to read any prequel slander. I recognize that they may have ruined all big budget movies forever, but you guys just don’t understand the vision.

Plus I like spaceship shooty movie

Hey you know what isnt hard? Not replying to every user on this thread so you can hit them with an “ackshully”

Current energy output. We are getting closer to fusion energy every day. I’m also literally never taking a hexbear users “I did the math” comment as scientific fact.

Don’t have to terraform mars, just have to get a decent population off of one rock.

Humanity has 3 purposes in my opinion. 1- make and consume art (in whatever form that may be). 2- protect life. 3- explore. We have always wanted to visit new places, go to new frontiers. Yes, we can lessen the strain on earth by better resource management, moving away from destructive practices.

We aren’t going to stay just on this rock. And whoever gets their first might have a bigger say in what life is like beyond earth. The Soviets, Americans, China, they all knew the value in ensuring we aren’t just stuck here and we actually progress.

It’s probably what I’m most passionate about. And it upsets me when someone casts aside an entire academia because “we don’t need it” or “it’s too hard”. What do they want? Just to be stagnant and have the same life as previous generations? What’s the point?

China needs to step it up, fuck really any government needs to step it up. Because if not China, it’s going to be the US or some billionaire loser who will set up slave camps and ensure Raytheon gets their money for installing missile launchers on the moon or something stupid.

Depressing. Earth is clearly already on a death spiral. I consider it only natural for humanity to spread, and stagnation leads to issues like we are dealing with now. Resource shortage, climate change, pollution.

All our eggs in one basket is a bad idea. In a just world, NASA or rather any space agency would have 10x or more the funding they do now. A lot of the data we have on the changing climate comes from these agencies.

And absolutely fuck having any psychopathic CEO use his resources to force humans into Mars before it’s ready in the name of profits or some stupid show of force.

Mars can’t be terraformed now, so we should be focusing on how to mitigate the dangers to earth, get better at going to space with less cost, and getting more people into careers that actually contribute to humanity like engineering, medicine and no more fucking “Business degrees”.

Gilmour sucks and he always has. His guitar solos are the worst part of the song. His voice sucks, he’s terrible at writing. I’ll always be a little pissed that he essentially took the Pink Floyd name and used it for his solo career. Those last Floyd albums without Waters are unlistenable boomer pop, with no meaning other than “flying is fun”.

Floyd is dead, the only part that is still alive is Waters, Gilmour is an old man dragging the corpse of a band around and saying it’s him.

Israel is such a dangerous aggressor. Nuclear armed, bombing their neighbors, constantly waging war against an entire region, committing genocides. Please Iran, set off the biggest bomb you have in tel aviv.

Oh wow, few years ago I would have gladly taken that off your hands. Maybe try vaping communities? There are quite a few on reddit if you’re willing to venture out there.

“Oh but China is!.. Doing something???”

Genocide is so far away from their home, why would they care. It’s a ton of work to care. Better just share a post about how Kamala said X and Trump said Y on Lemmyworld. That’s really what fighting the good fight looks like lol.

I have a few if anyone wants!

Peter Hook and The Light is great live. Seeing him play both bands worth of material while ripping through those basslines is so fun. Dreams never end always makes me want to dance. Highly recommend if you haven’t seen them yet.

I feel like this is counter productive and a bit strawman. Don’t get me wrong, I know this is coming from a good place.

The CIA does bad things, this is true. Horrible things. They do it through any any and every medium. Let’s say vaccinations were never thought up by whatever CIA ghoul originally decided that. The same thing would have been done regardless. Maybe through fake clinics. Food banks that secretly collect DNA. A false flag chemical weapon attack that “requires medical treatment for all affected”. They would have found a way.

You should distrust the American government because they have done incalculable damage to the world, in every way imaginable. You should also distrust big pharma. Not because they push poison, (sometimes but not always) you should hate them because they profit off of the labor and expertise of thousands of scientists, doctors, engineers and all other workers.

Anti-vax sentiment is still a danger in the western world, pushed by " individualists" who believe “it’s my child, my rights!” And don’t understand how their actions affect the communities they live in.

I’ve always said, if I’m terminally ill, or all of my friends and pets die in some accident, I would possibly, maybe think about doing a little final vigilantism.

If I’m going back to the earth, I might as well do something to heal her before I go. Like removing one of the biggest tumors on the planet.

This is the worst future. I love space, I love space travel and I do truly believe expanding out to the stars is inevitable for humanity. But the governments of the world with space capable craft are either underfunded or too busy bailing out billionaire vanity projects.

I have zero confidence that this man or his circlejerk corporate stooges can get ANYTHING to land on Mars. Nor will he be able to get anyone there safely. He has no serious plan for this, he’ll just throw his slave-labor money at a group of recent aerospace engineering graduates and tell them to figure it out, as long as it’s under budget, of course.
