56 fuckin' years ago NASA designed a rocket that could go to the moon, and launched it 13 times, it exploded exactly 0 of those times. LMAO.

I'd say it was also designed by a Nazi, but lol at Elon designing anything.

Other than the 14 or so launches that exploded before the first manned flights

Aliens showed us about terraforming in 1986.

Yes, it's a remarkable piece of machinery. Weyland Yutani manufactures them you know. But Carter Burke, the company guy, was a greedy rear end in a top hat who sabotaged the whole mission to make a buck. And he died.

See my previous posts about greed.

This is getting pretty hilarious. He just keeps digging, boring?, himself into the ground.

When he kept his mouth reasonably shut a decade ago people thought he was a genius and he should have kept it that way. Then he became a cult of personality, probably enticed by witnessing Trump's literal cult.

It just hit me how the gently caress does someone come to hate jews in 2023?

There is like 23 million jews in the world. It's a tiny number of people. Unless you have visited or lived in New York, Florida, Hollywood, or Israel there is a really good chance you've literally never met a jew. Hating an entire group of people you've never met a single one of us or not involved whatsoever in any way to limit you or your life is some peak lack of thinking for yourself. It's not like as an entire religion they promote aggressively or have really violent and anti-social behaviors.

I genuinely don't see how you become radicalized against jews unless you're a dumb as a rock reactionary dipshit or a Palestinian (which is a completely different topic) in 2023. I can understand Nazi Germany for instance because they had a wealthy but small community and Germans wanted an easy scapegoat for WW1.

Some jew out in hollywood isn't making your life hard.

Or life starting is a 1 in a trillion chance. With the amount of stars in the universe that means we're not alone, but we might be the only ones in the galaxy.

Or life starts pretty much anywhere the conditions are right.

Either is possible. We have no clue at this point.

Even if it's a 1 in a trillion chance, that's still billions of planets with life out there.

None of them may be close enough to be relevant on human time scales, but the sheer number of stars makes anything that's a random occurrence a statistical certainty. They are out there.

That doesn't even matter. Life existed on this planet for hundreds of millions of years, in spectacular profusion.

Which I get but it's like. Say 1930's Germany. Sure, you're poor as poo poo. The depression sucked. The jewish family who owns the store down the street is doing OK. You're jealous. Things are poo poo. Then you hear how they stabbed the germans in the back. Wouldn't it be nice if they were responsible for all my problems...? I get why hate can fester into a person like that.

Cut to 2023. America. Or even Europe. You're realistically not going to know a lot of jews unless you live or frequently visit certain areas. There isn't a jewish store owner down the street. Some jew out in hollywood or in the middle east isn't responsible at all for your eCoNoMiC aNxIeTy or making your life hard. There is nothing tangible at all there. Unless it's Dark Lord Soros I guess (peace be upon him). It's just lazy hatred that falls to pieces with a moments consideration and I'm shocked enough people fall for that poo poo in 2023.


You know who's objectively making my life hard? The republican party. The democratic party to a significantly lesser extent.

I don't get it either but lots of people think Satan is loving with them on a daily basis. Like you gotta think if Satan were real he'd be thinking a bit more strategically than tempting jim bob with some skin mags at the gas station but not according to Real Americans.

On the other hand it's difficult to know if reactionaries actually believe anything they're saying.

I live in Alabama. Not exactly a major population state. The population of my city is 250k The metro of my city is ~500k. The 3rd most populated nation of jews is France at 448k. The 5th is the UK at 250k. Nearly twice the number of people live around my city than all the jews in a relatively major cosmopolitan nation. Just saying, it's a pretty tiny population of people world wide comparatively. Unless you live in Palestine or certain areas listed the idea they are having any effect on your life or your experiences is extremely tenuous as gently caress. It takes a lot of lazy lack of thinking for yourself to reach that conclusion.

The idea some vatnik out in Vladivostok or some bigot in Spain (population 13,000) railing against the jews and how hard it's making their life just makes zero loving sense to me.



That's like me blaming Australians for America's problems. Which to be fair, gently caress Australia and they can take their vegemite back where they came from.
