Well, I mean after the US annexed Hawaii by overthrowing their king and writing a special "it's OK when we do it" law, doesn't that mean they can do whatever they want?

Hawaiian people should be in turn given a permission to explode some rockets over White House.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I hereby give them permission.

The religious significance of an uninhabited island seems like a nothingburger compared to this:

Along with allowing Musk to rain schrapnel down near Mokumanamana, the FAA also granted SpaceX the ability to do so around Hawaii's eight main islands — which are populated with American citizens

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 30 points 4 days ago

Ah, but those Americans are mostly Democrats so they aren't really Americans and are gonna lose their citizenship and be deported soon anyway. /S

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (3 children)

lol why did they emphasize that they are American citizens? So if these were non-Americans it would be fine I guess.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 4 days ago

You joke, but this is how a lot of people actually think. It's fucking gross.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

They mention that because people in the US are stupid enough to not understand that residents of Puerto Rico, Guam, Hawaii, and some other places are US citizens.

A few days ago I was watching stars with a friend and every few minutes we would see satellite after satellite. Yeah that was distracting.

[–] Thadden@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

Yeah right?? It's so crazy how many satellites there are nowadays.

We used to play with my friends when we were younger to spot them. Now it's harder not to see one.

And the sad part is it's going to get much worse probably.

[–] johnwicksdog@aussie.zone 13 points 4 days ago

Same here, I would rarely see a satellite and mostly only during dusk. Two nights ago I was participating in a star gazing activity as par of a birthday party and it's busy up there now

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Their future e-waste is now part of the view, just gotta accept it and hope the billboards up there aren't developed in our lifetime.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Not much remains of them upon reentry. At least nothing that can be called e-waste.

That's no surprise, the only thing Trump considers sacred is Trump.

[–] droopy4096@lemmy.ca 54 points 5 days ago (3 children)

tramping religious rights of locals is fine, but don't you dare to touch christianity. Christian churches get tax exemptions etc. I'm an atheist but this is a glaring discriminatiin. You either disregard all religions or tiptoe around all of them there's nothing in between

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago (3 children)

it's time to accept that America is a Christian nation. it shouldn't be, but we're already getting Christian sharia laws, like women should be forced to give birth even if they die, or if the fetus is non viable.

there will be more sharia coming soon.

we should call those laws like that.

Should ask Texas residents living next to Starbase how that's working out for them. I can sum it up, it's not. You get what you voted for!

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hawaii didn't vote for this.

He's wearing a hat on a hat.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

He’s probably off his tits.

[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 38 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He's a defiler. POS Star links are everywhere in the sky polluting the sky with streaks and dots for anyone interested in astronomy.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

He's a defiler.

That’s why you can’t let Zerg get to late game. Guessing he’s going defiler/hydra/lurker? Sounds like we need firebats so we can still do damage under dark swarm. He might counter with scourge/guardians so watch for a greater spire for a good attack timing.

The guy carrying tanks of napalm smoking a cigarette always gets to me 😁

Destroying and damaging a religion's sacred holy areas is not a really violation of the religious rights. However telling Catholic priests they should tell on pedophiles now that that's violating religious rights.

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Better not mess with sacred stuff in Hawaii. You could wake up with a tarantula crawling on your chest.
