  • Helium-3 is a fuel for fusion that does have its benefits, but most scientists are focused on Deuterium-Tritium reactions. On the moon, the most concentrated regolith has only 50 parts of helium-3 per billion. That is super sparse. Like, we may as well be sifting uranium out of Earth's oceans at that point. And if we're doing giant space-based megaprojects, the gas giants probably have higher concentrations of helium-3 or we could just beam power around from giant solar panels.

  • This is a fair argument against Elon Musk's dream to colonize Mars - it is indeed an escapist fantasy. But with the recent and upcoming moon missions, the involved parties (government orgs!) are quite clear that they're not doing it out of a false belief that they can make a self-sustaining colony. That stuff is over a century away. Only billionaires and their simps believe it lol.

  • It's not an SOE and like half of its stocks are owned by Americans. But the parent company got some government funding according to the US Congress, so the whole conglomerate is considered an SOE by America now. Sounds like trade war stuff to me lol

  • For most cities true. For NYC, I think present infrastructure is better than the 70s.

  • Thankfully your style of rebuttal would be just as tiresome in 1890 as it is in the modern day.

  • Language is a social phenomenon, yes.

  • Okay, sure! Hate speech isn't free speech!

    1. It would be a waste of time and money
    2. You'd ask for an even bigger devil's milkshake afterwards. There is no sating your superstitious trials
  • The nuclear bomb testing in the Pacific absolutely fucked over the people living there. But not all radiation is the same. There's no way this wastewater affects them whatsoever unless they do a pilgrimage to Fukushima Daiichi and start drinking the pre-diluted water.

  • Hate speech isn't free speech!

  • This is completely ridiculous.

    In Minecraft, the immersive game owned by Microsoft, Russian players re-enacted the battle for Soledar, a city in Ukraine that Russian forces captured in January, posting a video of the game on their country’s most popular social media network, VKontakte.

    These authors clearly know nothing about Minecraft. Wow, some nationalists re-enacted a battle on their private Minecraft server. Woe is the world! All of Minecraft has been infected by Russian dezinformatsiya!

    A channel on the Russian version of World of Tanks, a multiplayer warfare game, commemorated the 78th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in May with a recreation of the Soviet Union’s parade of tanks in Moscow in 1945. On Roblox, the popular gaming platform, a user created an array of Interior Ministry forces in June to celebrate the national holiday, Russia Day.

    Defeating the Nazis is good, actually. And commemorating that is also good, actually.

    Yes, we live in the Information Age. We've been living in it for decades now, NYT. Nationalist zealots are going to post. They're going to make reactionary content. It's nothing new.

  • Careful what you say. Both Lemmygrad and Hexbear are under the protection of the lion of Syria.

  • That's what happens when you don't vote hard enough and let a crooked government come into power!

  • Feel free to be smug when the floating death trap of an "asylum center" burns up like Grenfell đŸ„Ž

  • I hear the people of Hexbear have an anti-liberal spell that is so powerful it can take down entire sites. Perhaps Lemmygrad should investigate.
