I'm not sure, they were people I met in passing, cashiers. They were older men.

While this video is very touching and speaks many truths, does anyone feel the omission of terror that the Iranian regime has put on its people? The Iranians I have spoken to in the US have said they are happy about the killing of Iranian leaders, though this was in the beginning of the war and they may feel different now. Don't get me wrong tho, I can't wait to piss on Trump's and bibi's grave

I'll tell you the same thing I tell myself and others like us,

Evil wouldn't be trying so hard if they didn't feel they were in danger. We've made incredible strides in justice for the past two hundred years and they're not going to stop us. The road has always been rocky. I'm an atheist, but love your neighbor and do God's work, God does no work on their own but only through your hands. Make your hand loving hands. Be well my friend.

Thanks, Reagan.

I'm an astronomer, a strike at my workplace would have little impact on the countries economy.

Most people can't afford a general strike either. We ourselves are having our liberties surpressed. The only ones able to lash out against the oligarchy are those who have already lost everything to the machine, and even then some of them end up too broken to be able to do something meaningful. Luigi is a rare case where action actually resulted in change and it spoke to the majority of the country who is tired of being abused like indentured servants.

University of Arizona. They have the largest astronomy budget in the country for a university.

Yes but they would return at a much higher speed if the moon didn't take some of that energy.

I do maintenance at a telescope and occasionally fill in as telescope operator. It doesn't pay great but the work has been fulfilling. A telescope operator recently quit and they implemented a temp salary (removing my overtime) without discussing the numbers first and ended up putting me at the bottom of a lower pay scale. I thought I was stuck but eventually complained and got reverted back to hourly, but they screwed me out of 200+ hours of overtime because "I didn't complain soon enough and therefore that is the same as me accepting that salary". I'm going to quit soon because I don't work for free.

Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy...

Apollo 13 and Andy weirs books that got made to movies like the Martian or hail Mary project
