Elon actually hands these out to people who don't want them because they were unpopular and an easy means of telling chuds apart from... uh, chads? There's a good chance hers is a forced advertisement and not something she's actually paying for.
Still means she's on Twitter.
So are an insanely large amount of people.
I don’t think people on here realise that we are in an echo chamber ourselves and often times not very forgiving of people with differing opinions, where I would assume we should want to bring people to our point of view by being accepting and trying to educate on our beliefs.
So in this echo chamber of what 50K MAUs it can sometimes be hard to keep sight of the fact we are the smallest of minorities in this space and what we see is absolutely not a representation of what most people in the world care about.
I’ve never used Twitter but I’m not going to shit on other people for using it.
Were you on Reddit when they had loads of jailbait subs? Would you like to labelled as part of that same group just because you shared the same space?
Does it not seem reasonable that some people might use Twitter as a means to keep in the loop and not isolate from the crazies, Nazis, bigots or whatever. You can’t converse with the other side if you ain’t where they are at and if we all stay in our own echo chambers what are we really achieving other than a self-righteous circle jerk?
To be abundantly clear I am including myself in this too and not just calling you out. But this place is exhausting at times, I am the most cynical person I know and this place really gives me a run for my money at times. Even in the less serious stuff, like you can’t oppose Linux here you’ll be downvoted to shit for even having a different opinion. You have to use FOSS everything, and you should even be eating open source food 😂

Tbf the Forbes 30 Under 30 is a great predictor of future jail time.
Yeah the rest is fine, but bragging about being featured in a magazine is kinda cringe.
I mean, I feel you, but it is a pretty big deal to the general public. It's okay to be proud of being recognized.

Get the fuck off of xitter... it harms your credibility.
Dude should just delete his account in a form of internet Harakiri at that point.

No... Let 'em burn.
I want Brad so emotionally scarred that every time he goes to tweet some bullshit he has a depression inducing anxiety attack so overwhelming that he has to find the nearest corner to go cry in until exhaustion.
But has she considered that she's just a woman? /s

Whoa, whoa. How dare this uppity woman talk like that to Dr. Bradley D. D. Wentworth, PhD., an internationally renowned expert on footballogy and beeristics? His accolades include frequent beating of his wife, a penchant for racial slurs, and living in a trailer down by the river.

What does D.D. stand for? Designated dumbass?
Edit: Doctor dickhead?
Double dumbfuck
Doctor of Divinity - in most places a bogus degree given to ministers or bought online.

But all females have been deleted from nasa
I thought we were all female now, by law? :-P
Ah just some blue check degenerates having a slap fight in the Nazi bar. Yawn.
I'm hesitant. Should I crosspost on !confidently_incorrect@lemmy.world or !murderedbywords@feddit.uk?

Between the post and some of the comments, I'm pretty sure we're on the worst time.
At least, the worst surviving timeline. I'm sure plenty of "worse" timelines have existed that killed off the entirety of the planet.
This is just the worst of what's left.

Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can't you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?
Bro, you can buy the presidency of the United States if you have enough money. So yeah, not what she did, but it is completely posible.
isn't a Forbes list the kind of list that buying your way into it proves you belong there?

Don't take this the wrong way but from the list of achievements she sounds very much a Politician/PR-person/Lobbyist specialized in the area of Space Exploration, not an Engineer or a Scientist.
Still beats Beer-belly Brad by a long distance (probably not hard), but is such a person really worth celebrating in Science Memes?
Here's the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it's worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn't understand the magnitude of what he's asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.

Every time I hear the name Brad, I think of Brad Majors from the Rocky Horry Picture Show.
"Hi, I'm Brad Majors!"
"Asshole"
nuked from orbit
It's the only way to be sure.
