It’s a community about spaceflight. SpaceX is relevant there. It’s not like the article was kissing Elon’s ass. Let people talk about the space flight aspects without the juvenile insults. Plenty of space for that kind of stuff. You don’t have to shit in every Musk-adjacent thread.

Contrary to the popular saying, not all publicity is good publicity.

Nuclear energy companies aren’t trying to make people think that their reactors reproduce.

AI companies are trying to make people think that their software is intelligent.

The context matters.

The only one I’ve ever played—ages ago at university—is still going and is free. Don’t know how it compares to others. You can still connect with telnet!

Expel the child. He shouldn’t traveling without adult supervision.

Why is your brand new account tagged as a bot account?

There’s been a rash of accounts posting YT “pornstar” videos, lately.

It spammy engagement bait. Get rid of this crap.

Look at OPs history. It’s full of this crap.

The connection to Russia adds to the suspicion.

That doesn’t explain why he’s so happy about his plate of shit donuts. He’s slop.

I gave up on a DuoLingo course because they started using AI voices. I was doing the course during the switch and it was jarring. Even I could tell the accents and pronunciation were just wrong half the time.

They’ve moved up to ‘flays’ in the headlines now! How long until we get to ‘defenestrates’ or ‘degloves’?

Some future anthropologist or historian is going to study the increasing violence in news headlines leading up to… whatever it is we’re headed for.

Dress code

Maybe it’s the real Romulan uniform. How do you know? Have you ever been to space? Katy Perry has. 😝

But his approval ratings are in the shitter. This is the best he can do. Nevermind Epstein, healthcare, foreign oil wars, rampant authoritarianism and all that. Weed is popular. Maybe this will keep them happy.

That might be a clue.

Oh, yeah. That’s totally normal. I feel that way about many politicians, CEOS and “influencers”. I just wouldn’t talk like that about people I know or interact with.

Oh, yeah. Forgot you could do that through the embedded web browser. Really, I only get them when I see the deals pop up on Lemmy. I’ll ‘purchase’ it on my phone. I haven’t even opened Heroic in a while.

I think the people around Trump were feeding him false info…

I don’t think Stephen Miller technically counts as a person. Unless a pencil-necked manifestation of pure insecurity is considered a person.

At least Starbucks will have something I can’t get for practically free at home.
