  • This is liberal cope.

    I’ve seen tons of Bernie people from 2016 become Trupists. Several have become full-on groypers. The reason is clear: Bernie got curbstomped and these people are still looking for some other solution because they’re still precarious.

    Liberals are still clinging to the basket of deplorables. They want to think that not being a liberal is a moral failing, or a sign of weak breeding or something. They can’t admit that all the punching left they’ve been doing over decades while scolding, preening, etc and sucking up to corporate elites they serve has created the terrifying right-wing moment that we’re in. And they’ll going to be smugly declaring themselves to be on the right side of history as they get thrown into the camps with the rest of us.

    EDIT: by the way:

    Leor completed her PhD as a Gates Scholar at the Department of Psychology

    Yes, that is the “Gates” you’re thinking of.

    Also she’s probably a criminal:

    Leor was listed on Forbes 30 Under 30








  • And before SpaceX the cost to do anything in space was extremely prohibitive.

    As opposed to now…

    With SpaceX they created re-usable rocket components

    Nobody had done that before? Wasn’t the promise that they would do few quick checks, refuel, and send it back up same day?

    Before SpaceX the U.S. was reliant on Russia’s soyuz to get us to and from the space station.

    Nasa had do use Soyuz because crew dragon was late. SpaceX won the contract then underdelivered a late product. Basically exactly what ULA or Boeing would have done.

    Wanna talk about Artemis?



  • I was there and I was using XMPP. Interacting with google chat slowly became the purpose of xmpp. Everyone who was using xmpp eventually found themselves talking mostly to google users. Then Google killed the link and every xmpp instance instantly became useless.

    We can (and are) building a community without facebook. Or we can link to facebook and find that they quickly through sheer mass become the center of the lemmy community. And then comes the knife.
