I refuse to read any prequel slander. I recognize that they may have ruined all big budget movies forever, but you guys just don't understand the vision.

Plus I like spaceship shooty movie

Current energy output. We are getting closer to fusion energy every day. I'm also literally never taking a hexbear users "I did the math" comment as scientific fact.

Don't have to terraform mars, just have to get a decent population off of one rock.

Humanity has 3 purposes in my opinion. 1- make and consume art (in whatever form that may be). 2- protect life. 3- explore. We have always wanted to visit new places, go to new frontiers. Yes, we can lessen the strain on earth by better resource management, moving away from destructive practices.

We aren't going to stay just on this rock. And whoever gets their first might have a bigger say in what life is like beyond earth. The Soviets, Americans, China, they all knew the value in ensuring we aren't just stuck here and we actually progress.

It's probably what I'm most passionate about. And it upsets me when someone casts aside an entire academia because "we don't need it" or "it's too hard". What do they want? Just to be stagnant and have the same life as previous generations? What's the point?

China needs to step it up, fuck really any government needs to step it up. Because if not China, it's going to be the US or some billionaire loser who will set up slave camps and ensure Raytheon gets their money for installing missile launchers on the moon or something stupid.

Depressing. Earth is clearly already on a death spiral. I consider it only natural for humanity to spread, and stagnation leads to issues like we are dealing with now. Resource shortage, climate change, pollution.

All our eggs in one basket is a bad idea. In a just world, NASA or rather any space agency would have 10x or more the funding they do now. A lot of the data we have on the changing climate comes from these agencies.

And absolutely fuck having any psychopathic CEO use his resources to force humans into Mars before it's ready in the name of profits or some stupid show of force.

Mars can't be terraformed now, so we should be focusing on how to mitigate the dangers to earth, get better at going to space with less cost, and getting more people into careers that actually contribute to humanity like engineering, medicine and no more fucking "Business degrees".

Gilmour sucks and he always has. His guitar solos are the worst part of the song. His voice sucks, he's terrible at writing. I'll always be a little pissed that he essentially took the Pink Floyd name and used it for his solo career. Those last Floyd albums without Waters are unlistenable boomer pop, with no meaning other than "flying is fun".

Floyd is dead, the only part that is still alive is Waters, Gilmour is an old man dragging the corpse of a band around and saying it's him.

Israel is such a dangerous aggressor. Nuclear armed, bombing their neighbors, constantly waging war against an entire region, committing genocides. Please Iran, set off the biggest bomb you have in tel aviv.

Oh wow, few years ago I would have gladly taken that off your hands. Maybe try vaping communities? There are quite a few on reddit if you're willing to venture out there.

"Oh but China is!.... Doing something???"

Genocide is so far away from their home, why would they care. It's a ton of work to care. Better just share a post about how Kamala said X and Trump said Y on Lemmyworld. That's really what fighting the good fight looks like lol.

Peter Hook and The Light is great live. Seeing him play both bands worth of material while ripping through those basslines is so fun. Dreams never end always makes me want to dance. Highly recommend if you haven't seen them yet.

 

Classic case of a person with a Ukraine flag in their bio talking about how Italy totally isn't fascist to rule in favor of the right to nazi salute at a rally. Got the usual "You spout Russian propaganda." and "Umm ackshully, nazi rallies have been happening all over Europe for decades, this isn't a big deal" Like wtf, Nazi rallies no big deal? Europe is awful lol. Took way too long before I remembered I should just block and move on. And now I'm exhausted.
