I'm not too timid, I just don't know enough about the other places on the internet or the behind the scenes on Reddit to say much conclusively
Why should I defend reddit? It was a shithole that only got worse as time went on
At some point I intentionally stopped going and interacting with the darker sides of reddit to protect my own sanity, though. So yes, I was effectively siloed from it. But I'm not shocked, far from it
We're definitively not getting any space hotels within a decade
Two decades however? Possible. I do think we will see the buildup of a lot more space infrastructure this century, but it all depends upon how much the world cares about space and its development
They both tried to cheat on each other instead of, you know, communicating and respecting each other
It's probably not a stretch to say that reddit was instrumental in the ride of the modern alt-reich movement
It's like gaining eldritch knowledge. It unlocks certain aspects of reality unseen before now, at the cost of some of your sanity, driving you mad with understanding. And everyone around you thinks you've lost your mind
It is very relevant yeah. They hated Kirk, and it very well may be that the shooter was a groyper
This has happened to me multiple times. And yes, I did consider it to be a serious issue. It's too abusive of a feature
People don't want to lug a camera all over the place just in case they want a good photo, they want to be able to make a decent photo with the small brick that they always have with them anyway
And I am one of them. While I might not care too much about the highest quality pictures, I would still appreciate better ones if possible
That really is not possible when the news directly target you. Being able to ignore the news is a privilege
I don't think it's a useful strategy to not acknowledge the existence of terfs or trans people. In a lot of similar communities there is always the question of whether trans people are actually included or not, and even if so, who under the trans spectrum, which always makes me uncertain about my place.
And also, just ignoring problems such as terfs is not a solution. They exist whether their existence is acknowledged or not, sweeping things under the rug isn't helpful
Though, yeah, it is made clear in the rules, which I appreciate
While I agree with you in principle, unfortunately a lot of people feel pressured to "soften the blow" from learned experiences or trauma or whatever else might be the case, as it's not always the case that people take "no" for an answer and handle it respectfully. It's a defense strategy
Yeah for sure, as I said, it hinges upon how interested we actually are in space
But modern computers and manufacturing techniques have made reusable rockets possible, and they exist now, so things are not quite the same as they used to be
Another thing though, our space infrastructure has been improving over the decades, it's just that it mostly consisted of satellites orbiting earth. I mean, look at GPS, that only really came into practical existence in the 90s! And that was a massive thing! (Yes I know technically earlier but still)
