Anti-space/science rhetoric on the left.

A lot of it comes from people who are anti-Elon and are against everything he touches. So they become anti SpaceX. Then they become anti-aerospace.

They don't understand, or even want to understand, the science and importance behind it's advances. The thought process just goes Musk Bad>SpaceX Bad>Aerospace Bad.

Remember how in Interstellar, there's that teacher who was casually teaching that the moon landings were fake? Like, society had reached a point where they cared so little for space, that they actively turned a blind eye towards its accomplishments or just straight up dismissed them? I feel like that's the path we're on. Because of people's blind hatred towards a rich douche, an entire EXTREMELY IMPORTANT industry is becoming reviled through sheer ignorance.

Reminds me of those two Russian guys in the antarctic research station. One wound up stabbing the other because he kept spoiling the ending for every book he tried to read. I gotta wonder what the book count was. Like, 5 or less that seems unreasonable, but once you hit like 15-20 books ruined, that seems like valid response.

I've been following this since it started. The Mt. Pleasant city council pulled a lot of shady shit to get this to happen. People tried protesting, but they were silenced. This is the conclusion to a 6 year con that anyone with half a brain could have seen coming. An LCD factory? No one uses LCD anymore, it's all LED. And you can't just swap out a few pieces of equipment to make the switch.

The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.

Can someone ELI5 why this is important? Is there something wrong with NVIDIA drivers?

I'm not surprised there are no comments yet. The Putin apologists don't like it when factual numbers are posted. It's hard to ignore or argue against math.

I'm not seeing the option for "Unenthusiastically masturbate and roll over back to sleep."

Been to a grocery store lately? Looked at rent prices? How about clothing? Gas? Basic necessities?

People think the economy's getting worse because it IS for consumers. I don't really give a shit if a company is paying less for grain than they did a year ago if the prices they charge for the final product havn't gone down!

Until basic costs of living start decreasing, most people aren't going to see any positive change.

IR Blasters!

I feel like I'm the only one who used them or cares that they were quietly phased out of phones.

You used to be able to use your phone as a universal remote. Being able to control my TV, sound system, ceiling fan, and lights all from my phone was so convenient! Plus if you were stuck in like a waiting room and they had ads or garbage like Fox News on, you could change the channel or turn it off completely. It was an incredibly useful feature to me, but I guess barely anyone else used since it was removed from phones without any complaints.

Except me. I'm complaining!

I've found a pretty effective argument when dealing with right wingers at this point. I simply say that only one side is banning books and it's theirs, and I stick only to that. It's indefensible. They can try to twist it, say it's just protecting kids, and I will continue to say "Only the republicans are banning books". It's the end of discussion. Its shoving in their face that there is a clear line in the sand that republicans have crossed, and there is nothing they can say that would change that.

Keep going. If this shitty screenshot continues to be shared on the internet, I'm pretty sure in just a few more years the quality will have deteriorated to the point where it's unreadable.
