The Germans, even when losing, never conscripted blacks into their army. They didn't hate blacks and had no real official policy towards them other than they couldn't marry and mix with Whites. They would have just preferred if they all stayed in Africa.

The French had no problem doing so, raiding africa, and turning anyone they could find in a "colony" into a "drafted soldier." They took hundreds of thousands of blacks and made them fight.

"interesting buddy relationship with another man."

"So.. he's gay? Like, gay for wolverine. Which, if that's what you want, whatever, but isn't it against your own 'homophobia' rules to say it that way? Just say he's gay for wolverine."

He didn't trust Oppenheimer with anything. He didn't think he should have any security clearance in the US.

it's easier when you have someone present to make quick adjustments on the fly

Even in Apollo the humans were pretty far out of the loop. They had landing site selection and some variable thrust control. Their option was to trip an abort switch which would then automate the abort procedure.

The Russian probe that got pancaked last year might have been saved if someone had been on board to realize the automatic system was not functioning.

It might have not crashed into the moon. The ultimate result would have been the same. They wouldn't have had fuel for a second chance, the abort procedure prevents you from slamming into the moon, but it doesn't care about your ultimate orbit, so tons of station keeping would be required just to try a second time, and there's no recovery mission that's going to go get the thing.

It slammed into the moon because there was no point in adding an abort system and it was the most cost effective solution given the above.

That's why I said putting a craft on Mars is relatively easier. I was referring to a side by side comparison, not the trips required to get there.

To put something somewhere you have to get it there. You can ignore that as an engineering challenge if you like, but then your analysis will be wrong.

Crafts need to be heavy enough to fall on the moon

No they don't. You just need retro rockets.

but light enough to survive the fall

No they don't. You just need a descent engine.

and they can't use parachutes because lol no atmosphere

Yea, so you just use rockets.

Putting a craft on Mars is relatively easier.

Round trip light time to the moon: 2 seconds. Round trip light time to mars: 18 minutes.

One way journey time to the moon: 3 days. One way journey time to mars: 2 years.

Solar power per m^2 available at the moon: 100% of earth. Solar power per m^2 available on mars: 68% of earth.

Going to mars is retarded.

They decided that participation and representation were more important than merit.

Holy shit these people are fucking lazy.

Ironically.. this is the same generation of asshats that brought you "move fast and break things!"

Yep.. and they walked up to the front desk and loudly asked "WHERE IS THE BIRDBRAIN STAYING? WHAT ROOM!?" And then the front desk told them, then they went up and left this there.

That's a thing that happened.

It reminds me of when the two public retards, Sam Harris and Ben Affleck had a debate on The Fink's show about Islam. Still cracks me up.

"Fine. Then block me. People who stick their head in the sand at the slightest inconvenience are just harming themselves. Let your little Block Finger free, fuck-nuts. It costs me nothing."

It's white guilt as a religion.

"Perhaps if I make the right sacrifices, or at least pretend to make them, or even just advocate that someone else make them, maybe I can atone for my life of being a bigoted retard."

Guaranteed, everyone of these "white savior" retards has some racist bullshit in their past they escaped punishment for.

There's plenty of value.. it's just, that value is for sale.

That's the whole point of modern sports franchises. Screw people over and take their money in exchange for nothing of real value.

To think there are people figuring out how to get enough money to go sit at the next big sports thing so they can "have that experience."

Gross.

They have no physical power in this world, and they're often raised and educated poorly. So their lives are made of compromise. They see it as the natural state of the world.

I love this mentality because it completely throws away the "representation" we're supposed to be getting from these people. It enshrines the idea that senators aren't sent to enact the will of the people, but are there to follow the orders of the billionaires given to them through the mass media instead.

The answer should be: "I don't have to reflect on anything. My constituents didn't like her, end of story."

Or that white comfort is somehow diametrically opposed to black survival.

Or that poor white people have anything to do with any of this.

Or that the banks and the elites have nothing to do with this.

Jon Stewart, more interested in being popular than being right.

an unhindered AI

Thankfully.. there is no such thing, and we're decades away from having it. The MIT weenies would like you to believe that training a computer to design a function of "best fit" constitutes AI, but it doesn't.

It's why AI can't handle emergent phenomenon at all. An AI of today's design would fall apart within hours... as it would have to understand basic intrinsic things like how weather and disaster affects production, which no training model could possibly incorporate in the current design.

If people really understood how these "neural networks" actually work, they'd laugh at all these "PHd" nutjobs until they're blue in the face. The modern idea of AI is "maybe if we combine the intelligence of 100 3 year olds, we'll have something with 300 years worth of wisdom."

You can see the obvious problem in their thinking.

26% of the charity's revenues ever reaches the downtrodden.

26% go to programs. There's not even a guarantee that it reaches anyone in need. Programs have a wide latitude, things like "free job training" and "life skills coaching" are valid 'programs' that don't help anyone other than the person paid to put them on.

“I really do believe that. Again, without sounding too pretentious, I just think that is one of the things that art categorically is socially, societally incredibly important for at every level, at every level.”

  1. You sound incredibly pretentious.

  2. Acting is not important, at any level. Children are capable of doing it. It's not special or unique.

  3. Do you have some special training that qualifies you to make this proclamation? Or, is this the kind of thing you have to say out loud and often in order to remain relevant in your tribe?

  4. Sherlock was modern woke garbage. How many things do you have to ruin before you'll be satisfied?
