It's a 10-minute video and they let it ride that long.

Way ahead of you:

"Onanism," the term derived from Genesis 38:9-10 which in traditional Christian usage has designated both masturbation and unnatural intercourse between a man and woman.

They should read my comments.

Single shot through the engine block!

"Luck" meaning, having a lucky mutation that's beneficial to reproducing in the current ecosystem.

In Echopraxia, the transhuman pilot repeatedly calls the old guy a "roach".

“I’ve told you before, Daniel: roach isn’t an insult. We’re the ones still standing after the mammals build their nukes, we’re the ones with the stripped-down OS’s so damned simple they work under almost any circumstances. We’re the goddamned Kalashnikovs of thinking meat.”

― Peter Watts, Echopraxia

And one of my favorite Heinlein quotes:

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

― Robert A. Heinlein

I play a pretty good straight-man, but he nails it. Take me more than one take to spit that with a straight face.

Media literacy not only fails the conservatives.

Well, we did get worldwide protests out of that event. And now "woke" is a bad word. Go figure.

LOL, no list. I just grew up in a white-bread Presbyterian church, know the Bible well enough to argue, if not exact chapter and verse.

Tell you a story my dad related from his time in Marine boot.

Guy was putting on his socks, pulled them up like he was wearing panty hose. Know what I mean? Stretching and working them up rather than straight yanking.

"Why are you putting on your socks like a woman?"

"Doesn't make the hair stick out and itch."

Non-hairy dad: OK, I'll save that info in case I have a barbarian son.

It works! I spent years with itchy calves until I heard that story!

How hairy are you lycanthropes?! I've done that, but it didn't make a meaningful difference.

No way we colonize space or smaller rocks until we invent artificial gravity, which I don't think is possible. Even spin "gravity" comes with a nauseous Coriolis force unless the station is huge and you're on the outer edges.

Luna is a death trap, no magnetosphere, radiation soaked, and the fine dust would make asbestos look like lung candy.

Much the same for Mars. No radiation protection, fine dust clogging everything.
