This isn't NASA, it's a private company completely unrelated in anyway to the Artemis projects success chances. NASA meanwhile, has a great track record for landing stuff on mars, which is much harder

That being said, no one who is actually following the Artemis project believes Artemis 3 will happen next year, we all know 2026 is the earliest it'll be at this point.

ETA: Annnddd it's official, Artemis 2 delayed to 2025, Artemis 3 delayed to 2026.

I was merely acknowledging that there are two extremes to this mental struggle: loneliness, and people who are overwhelmed by having too much contact.

And that's the problem. While those two extremes do exist, this post is not about people overwhelmed by having too much contact, it's about literally the exact opposite. OP made this post looking for support and validation of the loneliness they feel, and your first response was essentially "Yeah that's sucks for you, but I and many other people desperately crave the thing you suffer from". You're not wrong, the issue of people feeling overwhelmed is an equally valid issue, but there's a time and place to bring it up, and this post wasn't it.

My piece of advice is if someone presents an issue to you(or in this case, lemmy at large) and is looking for support or advice on the issue from you, avoid contrasting their issue against other issues at all costs. No matter how well intentioned you are(and I DO believe you were well intentioned, fwiw), at BEST it will come across as "that sucks but others have it worse" and at worst it can come across as "that's not an issue most people have, so thinking it's an issue means you are the problem".

You're weird

Big problem with your example, you don't choose to be French, you either are or you are not. You can be french and be an asshole, but the only choice there is in being an asshole. Being a libertarian on the otherhand, is a political position and is inherently something you have to choose to be.

Consider this: Prior to the Nazis using it, in western usage the Swastika was widely considered a symbol of good luck. The West boiling centuries of Eastern religious and cultural history of the symbol down into superstitious BS aside, by all accounts, at the time that would be an "accurate definition" of what the Swastika meant in the west. But obviously nobody today is going to believe you* when you say your Swastika tattoo is a good luck charm and you're "totally" not a Nazi. Hell, you'd be in potential legal trouble in Germany for it. Point is, all words(& symbols) are made up, and meanings can and will change.

• • (figurative you, I'm not claiming you actually have a Swastika tattoo)

I never said it was the definition, but the definition is besides the point as far as I am concerned; I'm not a libertarian, so I frankly don't care what libertarians "actually" believe, I don't care if the word is being "co-opted" or whatever.

What matters to me is that the vast, VAST majority of people I meet and know of that claim to be libertarian are awful people; so yes, my initial assumption when someone claims to be a libertarian, until proven otherwise, is they're not a good person.

Looking like a goddam pokemon type match-up chart

Nah, I'm American and the water level should not be that high. That toilets clogged.

Looks fine to me. It is pretty long but there are two pictures in it, after all.

Well, she is a Warrior Princess.

Furthermore, libertarianism is not a left right spectrum ideology

In theory, maybe. In practice, though, if an American claims to be a libertarian, in my experience they're more than likely either a republican that knows they can't get laid while calling themselves a republican, or a republican that likes weed(or both)

My sense of taste was dulled and my sense of smell was totally 100% gone(I'm certain I could've been sprayed directly by a skunk and still smelt nothing at all) for about a month, with them slowly going back to normal over the course of another month or so. I also developed minor brain fog, which still hasn't fully left over 3 years later.

They're washing the packaging of their groceries to try to avoid covid.

I mean real talk, how many generations back are you actually disappointing? Like I'm only going to disappoint my dad, as once you go up to grandparent level I have plenty of cousins who can and have already passed "our line" down.

It's not just the accent, it's his age/health combined with the accent. He was at least understandable with effort back in the day, now he practically needs a translater when he's not using his singing voice.

80s? To this day I hear boomers saying this exact shit.

As if he'll make it to 90

$17/hr with a 2 hour commute is considered a dream job in your area? Goddamn

That's Bethesda's fault. There is no fucking reason that game can't run well on a 1080ti for how mediocre it looks.

It's tricky but it is doable, unlike with RCA where you have to plug in 3 identical connectors with the only identifier being the color.

Whoever has the best chance at breaking into the capital district and killing Trump. Next question.
