I don’t understand why everyone in the aviation community seems to hate canards and atthis point in too afraid to ask why…

Hey, you.

YEAH YOU! WITH THE FACE ON YOUR HEAD!

YOU are a FULLY FLEDGED HUMAN BEING with VALID FEELINGS and DIFFICULTIES!

YOU are BEAUTIFUL and HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF GREAT STRENGTH whether you REALIZE IT OR NOT

YOU can FACE THE DAY ahead and NOBODY CAN STOP YOU unless you LET THEM

If someone wants to HATE YOU FOR EXISTING, then you have to EXIST AS HARD AS POSSIBLE because they aren’t going to change, but YOU DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PETTY SHITHEADS

GO GET EM, TIGER

That place is a monument to mankind’s arrogance.

It’s common to lash out when embarrassed, especially toward the thing you perceive caused the embarrassment.

I don’t think that’s a political indicator, it’s just an indicator that it’s human (or at least trained on human interactions, especially online interactions)

I’d say 50/50 because she’s a woman and a Democrat.

Good thing she never wore a tan suit or used the wrong mustard, then Republicans would have done something drastic like storm the Capitol building!

My mother in law fully believes that liberals have taken over Texas and that they’re over-reporting things like this in order to trick people into believing banning abortion is what caused it.

A large portion of the world believes in various deities who “love us” so much they will condemn us to literal eternal torture if we don’t believe hard enough and do what their books say.

This isn’t that far-fetched.

So give up, just don’t do anything!

I know those weren’t your literal words, but that’s the sentiment.

It’s the only thing you can do at this point if you gave them your DNA, and it harms nobody to try.

Listing all the reasons not to bother just seems a bit pointless to me. Especially since they had no real reason to honor the request before.

African, or European?

Literally more expensive than every computer I’ve assembled put together.

Bravo, I’m sure the vfx departments of both studios that buy one will love it! (Is joke pls no yell)

we’re very far from that.

As usual, the only thing keeping humanity back is… Humanity.

Petty differences and ancient squabbles that turn deadly over the years has turned humanity into crabs scuttling around a bucket.

We have the capability to feed, house, and clothe everyone on the planet. We have the capability of electrifying every industry on earth.

The only things keeping us from doing so are “it’s expensive” or “the logistics are too complex”

All of which sounds to me like children whining “it’s too haaaaaard” when told to clean their room.

By no means am I saying you are wrong, we are very far from all that. It’s just our own fault.

Slightly harder to get in and out undetected, but the targets sure are a lot bigger.

I want to believe

Someone IN MY STATE decided just the THOUGHT of his neighbor voting Democrat was enough to execute the neighbor while he mowed the lawn.

Anecdotally, I’ve seen firsthand the fights and beatings and fucking arson from the MAGAt crowd over the last decade over clothing or hairstyle or bumper stickers at the grocery store to ever listen to dipshits like this.

A few years ago I purged my face book profile with a script that edited every post with lorem ipsum, and then deleted the content.

It was embarrassing seeing posts from 10-15 years ago. Jesus christ I was an idiot. I still am, but I was then too. (thanks mitch)

In 2022 I did the same to my reddit account.

Same reaction.

Although it was interesting to see my comments go backwards from “burn the system to the ground” to “we need to make a compromise and reach across the aisle” and then from “all religions should be allowed to die” to “Yay Jesus”

Like I said, I was a big dum

Oh god I would hate to see my YouTube comment history from my first account…

Anything else would simply be improper!

God damn almighty these people are fucking stupid.

You know, I was about to go on about how they aren’t stupid, they’re cowards, because they fully know what you say is true, but they are too scared to say things out loud because then they’d be a target, OR because they believe in “the moral high road” and “believe the best in people” to a fault and “it wouldn’t be proper!” to call a nazi… You know… a nazi.

But then I realized all of that, while possible, is still insanely fucking stupid

So I guess my point is “yeah, and giant fucking cowards to boot”

I mean, that should be the default for everyone, at all times regardless of whether they want to charge you for access. It’s a garbage company run by garbage people and has done more harm to humanity than could ever be measured.

It’s great that a convicted felon who absolutely committed treason by sharing classified documents with foreign nationals is allowed to decide OTHER people can’t be trusted with information.

These guys need to decorate their walls with a small caliber paintbrush

Reposts get old and seeing the same joke with 8 meme formats that are all basically the same “drake meme/pooh meme/geordi meme” style gets old even quicker unless you can put some kind of spin on it to make it fresh.

My biggest gripe with the fediverse is seeing the exact same post in 15 different communities over the course of 2-3 days. But if that’s the price of the fediverse, I’m fine paying it. Sometimes the discussions in the comments get WAY different.

And of course since it’s still fairly small compared to other sites, and there are always more people coming in, the amount of people who have seen that thing posted for the first time is still pretty high.

I have to keep reminding myself that not everyone has as many pockets of downtime as I do, so while I’m on for about 5-20 minutes at a time, I get on many times over the day so I see most posts during my waking hours. So just because I’ve seen this “I sleep/ real shit” meme 8 times this week, hundreds of people are seeing it for the first time. And even if I’ve seen “this country leader did a CRAZY THING! How messed up is that!” every single day, some people didn’t get on yesterday to see it and probably don’t feel like commenting on posts a day old is accepted (I say comment on old posts all day of you want, I’ve had tons of forum discussions in posts that are years old)

I ramble a lot, sorry. But my point is “reposts and rehashed discussions get annoying but they’re a price of the fediverse and new members and more people could comment on old posts instead of making new ones”

Hi, gender is a spectrum and while I fully identify as male and straight*, I had long hair as a child. If my school had tried to cut my hair by force, I would have absolutely thrown hands, and I was not a small child. Apparently I pushed a teacher into a wall as a first grader but I have no memory of doing so.

Hair is not “gender conforming” unless you’re the most vanilla, thinks-flour-is-spicy, “mayonnaise has too much flavor” basic bitch in the universe. If you really think hair has two genders “long and short” then you are just the saddest sack of shit.

Hair is whatever the fuck you want it to be. I decided I didn’t want long hair anymore, so I started getting it cut short. I even had it around 1/4in at one point just because of how easy it was to be done with. Now it’s long because before I got married, my now-wife said she liked when it was longer, so I’m growing it out again until we decide it’s long enough or I get tired of it again. If I wanted to shave most of it right now, I can do that. Nobody controls my hair but me, and nobody has any say in how I keep it, short of safety concerns. (protip: hair ties and a hair net when working with rotary tools, once you’ve seen a video you never want it to happen to you)

Get the fuck out of here with this weak ass bullshit policing children’s hair.

They won’t be happy until everyone is a straight white silent and obedient clone of each other.

*It’s a spectrum, sometimes I want to feel pretty so if you had to stick me in a hole I’d say I’m straight but I’m sure someone could make a convincing argument that I’m at least a little fluid.
