  • I'd imagine that it's because there's complications when being used in microgravity. The people are literal rocket scientists and astrophysicists. I think they've got a good grasp on problem solving.

  • Because with stability, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen would have control of the world's trade through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. Making tons of money on shipping through the region. Their regional power is de facto because other countries in the region are unstable and can't secure trade through the canal.

  • In a way, they're making a point. Just because they provide internet shouldn't mean that they are the ones that should pay damages to record companies. But neither should torrent client developers. If you can't catch the end user, then that's your problem. If you're that concerned, make your material more accessibile.

  • I just want to say, I'm super not on board for mocking her by using her birth name.

    1. It's not much different than purposely calling a trans man or woman by their former name.
    2. Using her birth name as a form of mockery kind of acts to devalue similar cultural names. I don't want Indian Americans to feel as though they are lesser than for living in America and keeping a culturally significant name.

    There's plenty of legitimate things to criticize her for, including the hypocricy of her xenophobic policies, but they should be followed with context explaining her parent's immigration and her subsequent name change. Or her complete whiff on not mentioning slavery when discussing the American Civil War.

  • This title is very disingenuous. Officials only said that funding toward a counteroffensive similar to last summer would likely result in the same outcome, so the funding is aimed towards reinforcing their supply lines and fortifying the area that they've already retaken. That doesn't mean that the United States has put into their war plans that Ukraine will never retake their lost land. It's just not accounted for in their funding for the next year.

  • This is 100% carefully orchestrated to make it look like Trump and the RNC are democratic absolutists. Trump is only going to run for president as the elected Republican candidate if he gets undeniable verification of the votes.

    This is just to give republicans that are on the fence about Trump due to his rigged election claims something to grasp onto. "Even in his own primary he was absolute in his resolve to make sure he won fair and square!" 🙄

  • Pokemon is about the universe it was created in. It was the perfect on the go game when we were children and it even had a great anime to go with it. When you were home, you watched Ash and Pikachu take on the world of pokemon. Everything looked so vibrant and cool. Then when it was time for you to go with your parents to a house party, you could play Pokemon on your Gameboy.

    It's just a nostalgia franchise now, but that's okay. Most people are unhappy with how Game Freak is handling the role of building these games, but maybe one day they'll make a turn.

  • Maybe you can answer this for me, but I always thought that his ability to shoot webs came from being bit? How can he reformulate his own webs if it's coming from his body? Is that addressed in canon? I never got real deep into comics, this was just a thought that I had while I was watching Spider-Man: Far From Home today.

  • this axis of evil is very funny to me because it's just clearly from the American perspective...

    I hope America isn't the only country that sees rampant human rights violations, state sponsored starvation, ethnic cleansing, and the destruction of female rights as evil. But if that's truly the case, I'll go ahead and subscribe to that criticism. I'm not sure taking a "That's rich coming from the US!" stance here is the gotcha moment you think it is. The US isn't without fault but, defending these groups from the labels they've been given by the West is like saying the term "death squads" is funny when referring to the Einsatzgruppen because the Allied powers also used toxic gasses during the first world war.

  • This is the rhetoric that keeps us from advancing economic health in this country. Congratulations, you paid off your debt. Be happy about it. How does this hurt you in any way? It doesn't affect your financial situation in ANY way.

    When you buy something and 2 weeks later it gets a price reduction, do you write a letter to the retailer and tell them you deserve a coupon for buying it before they put it on sale?

  • I mean, people can work at a large company like Apple just for the salary. It's pretty naive to assume any or all of those laid off worked at Apple long-term and were loyal to their employer because of the marketing prestige.
