some plague rats posted:Oh yeah that definitely only happens to autistic people Worst time this happened to me, I was hanging with some buddies in college and one of them had a girl with him is never met before, but it seemed like she was maybe visiting from his hometown. So I ask at some point, “so how do you two know each other again?” To which everyone in the room laughed hysterically like I’d made a hilarious joke. When the laughter died down, I repeated myself “seriously, tho, how do you know eachother?”, to which some people laughed for a half second before realizing I was actually serious. “Oh, this is my younger sister.” Then it became clear that everyone thought I, a 21 year old, was making a funny joke by pretending to hit on my buddy’s 17 year old sister by asking how they know each other instead of just being an idiot who didn’t recognize the obvious resemblance lmao.

Loling at the naive people in the comments that are like, “well she did it outside of work so who cares”. She told someone who has direct hiring/firing power over her to “suck my dick and balls” on Twitter - and the boss man knew exactly who she was.

I'd bet five bucks that less than half of the people working for NASA know the names of the members of the National Space Council. The argument might be 'don't tell random strangers on twitter to suck my dick and balls' but that's boomer energy right there

IIRC the dude tried to make sure she kept the job because he understood she had just been excited and impulsive, but other people at nasa nixed her.

The juxtaposition of the newsreader reading out "Expletive the police" followed by an immediate *siren sound* "Officer down" is interesting.

Those were all over the place in Italy, I want to say maybe France as well? Euro goons, I know you all love house music, but come on now.Lobok posted:Wasn't sure if the wang would get cropped (ouch) Well that and on mobile more often than not you click through to the tweet proper to see the image and then go "dang, I could have just seen it here and saved a few seconds". It's a extremely minor annoyance I'll be the first to admit.

Is there any suggestion that anything 4chan did made a difference beyond anonymous screenshots saying that? 4chan should be scoured from the earth but also if you lose a NASA internship because you went viral for telling a member of the national space council to suck your dick and balls there's probably no great conspiracy, that's just hilarious and you should really take the L

wheres the national athletics / sports agency huh? that's a nasa i'd want to see. but no we just get a bunch of blurry pictures of stuff way too far away to matter, or minivans on mars. give me ten billion dollars and i'll drive my mom's dodge caravan over some desert rocks and take pictures of some string lights out of focus, no one would even know the difference. waste of money. nerds rule the world, it's sad to see

Scarodactyl posted:I assume it is authentic to how a highschooler in coal town west virginia would have perceived him in the 50s. That's kind of the point, since he thinks Von Braun is his hero but doesn't even recognize him when he shakes his hand. I just feel like if you're a kid in the 1950s your parents should give you some further context on who Von Braun is, given that they almost certainly lost close friends and/or relatives to WW2. I guess since nothing similar to the Blitz happened on American soil it's easier for us to look past that.

He joined the US army in 1945, the guy was an American hero in the 50s and became a US citizen.
