It frustrates me that nobody has attempted construction of a Coriolis station yet. They are so prolific throughout science fiction and theoretical scientific literature, and they have been prolific for ages.

Detractors of Coriolis stations will usually say that the scale required for the optimal 1G is not feasible, but the physics behind the idea are more or less sound.

We have the technology to build one, it’s just a matter of profitability. Nobody wants to burn their trillions on a moonshot.

And I say everyone should get a free donkey.

Words don’t mean shit!!!!!!!! Sick of all the “investigations” and statements. We need action.

So I’m exposing my ignorance here, but I have a question.

Apart from MTG’s association, how am I to make the distinction between a “real” bill and a “statement “ bill?

I understand what you’re saying, and have been persuaded by your latest comment; I’m just hung up on that “just a statement bill” thing.

E: I guess it’s literally as simple as “MTG is such a joke that her bills will never pass”.

Yeah, it’s amazing nobody in this pedantic thread mentioned that awful tweet. That tweet reframes the whole argument, if you ask me.

You make an important distinction, but by voting against the statement AOC is still saying “I don’t like the idea of defunding Israel’s Iron Dome”.

Is that not something to be frustrated with?

We have virtually no progressive politicians in the US. The ones that are progressive inevitably concede to safe and exhausted liberal ideologies, and this further proves that point.

Any substantive cut on Israel’s funding needs to be made if it is introduced. I literally don’t care what they’re defunding or who introduced the bill; the less my taxpayer dollars go to genocidal psychos, the better. End of story.

Um… what the fuck. This is literally how I was initially exposed to Coldplay.

Out of touch, suburban mom driving kids around on errands and dropping them off at their extracurriculars.

Yeah probably not. Instagram has a pretty big racism and bigotry and anti-intellectualism problem. The average user over there does not know what imperialism means, to my eyes.

This is Instagram.

I know, I wish I didn’t know, too.

Hasn’t this been known for some time? Perhaps I’m confusing these spiders with ones that simply form wind sails.

Fair warning: Noita is excellent, but it is also quite difficult and obtuse when you first pick it up.

My rec for Minecraft similarity is Terraria.
