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!"

The only kind of power with that type of shelf life is pure blackmail.

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.

"To be totally fair, quite a few are Jewish."

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.

If someone can get to you, with your guard complete down, inside of 15 seconds, you're fucked anyways.

"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.

Here's some new pronouns for you, Dean: "Convict/Offender/Criminal."

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.

is to force actual fighters to go do the killing

Did we finally outsource that now, too?

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?

Cutting off hair is low-grade bullying. It's not even in the same state as "heinous."

Ironically.. this should make it clear. They can move heaven and earth and crank new laws out of parliament in record time. They can't even find 5 minutes to meet with the truckers to negotiate.

The system is clearly "theirs" and they are upset at the notion that anyone would demand anything from them.

"I love the smell of human tragedy in the morning. Time for a tax write-off and free acting lessons. Book the ticket!"

If you want to help people.. then help them. Don't use tragedy as an excuse to shove your backwards ideas of "sustainability" into everything.

'Sustainability,' by the way, for these people means.. "you keep paying all the taxes and doing all the work, and I keep doing nothing. I would like to sustain that, so you're going to have to make do with less.. because I won't."

The idea of Ethan's wife as a bound concubine is kinda funny, though.

I want to know if they're allowed to eat bananas and oranges on the sabbath.
