  • There are a thousand better takes on Elon being a nazi piece of shit than trying to trash the most advanced rocket company in the world with weak arguments.

    NASA always uses third party contractors for launch vehicles, and spacex is the best rocket company. Nobody is even close to second place now that Boeing is in the business of producing death traps and national security risks.

    You call Elon a terrible piece of shit, but that thankfully has little to do with Shotwells excellent leadership at spacex.

    Until fediverse advocates stop thinking of people as simple minded, they will never understand the steps needed to be relevant.

    The main advantage to Bluesky’s architecture is centralized identity and distributed components.

    The centralized identity is key. Unless someone figures out a way to do this in activitypub, the fediverse will remain niche.







  • I believe guns increase the likelihood of suicide. There was a study on this, and lately firearm instructors have been conveying(in Utah at least) that removing guns from your home if suicidal is crucial. And to watch for signs of depression in other gun owners.

    But I agree with your overall point. Removing the guns won’t eliminate those suicide deaths, only reduce them.

    And more to my point, if RFK is in power when bird flu achieves human to human transmission, gun deaths will be background noise.

    Plato had this whole thing about perfect forms that exist outside the physical world, and those perfect forms get corrupted once they are manifested in reality.

    Not sure if he specifically had an ideal definition of friendship, or the notion of a perfect, non romantic friendship is described as Platonic because of how messy real world relationships can get.
