By then shuttle flights were so routine I didn't even get up to watch the liftoff. My mom called me before work and told me it blew up.

Christa McAuliffe trivia: she was the only one in her training group who didn't throw up on the "Vomit Comet".

Innovators start startups to innovate, then business people buy them to do business.

Wait til everybody finds out you upvoted a post they don't approve of!

Hanging out with angry white dudes in white sheets who carry flaming crosses.

Yeah... those old hippies with their "be yourself" and "let it all hang out" - clearly the key to life is to wear a mask. Such enlighten. So fulfillment.

Weeds is just the gardening term for "their kind".

We simply have too much legacy money everywhere strangling development.

I think that's the crux of it. Nobody with money to do big things is asking, "What does the world need?" They're always asking, "What can I convince the world it needs so it will give me even more money, and how can I retain exclusive rights to it?"

The human race absolutely has the capacity to turn the world into a wonderful, plentiful place for everybody, but those with the means of starting that are more motivated to acquire more and more for themselves, and most of the common people don't trust the world enough to entertain sweeping proposals because what if it's a trick or just doesn't work?

There was another one about a woman whose husband left her and told her sell my Porsche and send me the money, so she sold it for $100. I know it's natural to laugh at human failings, I'm just turned off by "What's the worst behavior you ever saw?" posts.

The fallacy of overgeneralization. I've never heard of Warren Buffet doing anything malicious, he's just really good at investing.

There are probably highly placed people in both parties on the list. Is this saying "SeE, tHeY'rE BoTh ThE sAmE!!!"? No, it's saying both have bad actors in them. Neither party has a claim to being morally pristine, because that would be stupid and so is insisting that they should.

Good. Can my Watch Later list please be the most important item I see when I go there?

It's reminiscent of Lovecraftian monsters but it isn't "literally" one. That word is so fucking overused.

I wonder if "human BS" is just the frustration that real human communication is less convenient and demands more attention than the other forms of communication we've gotten used to.

Favorite... wait what? We're supposed to LIKE things people do out of spite?

"Our dancers have infinite curves" is clearly hyperbole.

When Americans of all political stripes finally wake up to global realty, they'll most likely do it lying on a sidewalk, naked in the rain, with their fingers in their ears saying na-na-na-na-na-na...

People will eventually have to face that the economic golden age of the 1950s and 60s wasn't a normal state we can return to if greedy billionaires just let us. The rich definitely grabbed the biggest share of the prosperity, but that brief era of prosperity wasn't normal, it was entirely abnormal, and it's been over for quite a while. We've been fooling ourselves and keeping it going for the last half century by living on credit, and that's about to end. I don't know what new era is about to start, but the American era is over.

"OMG it was supposed to take out my LEFT kidney! I'm gonna die!!!!!!"

"Oops, the surgeon in the training video took out a Right kidney. Uhh... sorry."

I call BS unless their dancers demonstrate that they can at least pass a high school algebra test.

I will support this by continuing to be apathetic toward (and in fact ignorant of) the game known as Subnautica 2.

No idea, the justifications would have been discussed in Congress. The "Big Beautiful Bill Act" (HR1) section 100052 just says $29,850,000,000 is allocated for Immmigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
