Cheney is one of those names that will always leave a bitter taste to me.

Shit apple, shit tree

Lol no

(I imagine this is the response by the average voter at this point)

Let them. They need to experience the world they apparently want, and there’s nothing we can do to reverse course at this point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, what do you need then?

Any chance you have any suggestions for any “buy it for life” items from your own experience?

No prob! Just here to not help

Sounds cool!! Good luck with the project! EMI is one of those things I’d never even consider until i got way into a project like that, then have to reverse course and try a new approach with that in consideration. Gotta learn somehow though, lol!

Keeps this up and he’ll be an actual contender for a future presidency

Watcha soldering? Anything fun?

Tbh goes both ways

Lol, i thought you were about to say Tyson was also about to fight a living legend 🤣

That’s the fun thing about social media though–the size of the audience can rapidly expand! I would say people should be more careful what they say online but nobody that should hear that will be listening anyway 🙂

My biggest gripe is that science is really fucking hard and we’re unbelievably lucky to have made so many strides in knowledge and technology on the backs of generations of brilliant people lending their genius to the greater good. Flat-earth and other pseudo-sciences degrade the amount of pure brilliance, luck, and hard fucking work involved in getting to where we’ve gotten. I love the idea that some randos on the Internet could fundamentally turn science on it’s head, and perhaps it’s still possible. Science is much harder than most of these people even realize though.

Should we be skeptical of things in general–absolutely! Even if you truly believe you have a take that will change science at its core, you won’t be taken seriously by the scientific community if you can’t provide rock-solid proof that can be vetted and verified by other scientists. Is that unfair?

People are most certainly making their own choices – remember how hot ivermectin was for a minute there? Completely unsupported evidence of efficacy and guess what – it didn’t work. Personally, i think they should take science in their own hands and figure out why they’re wrong about so much. The problem here is what i think is a defining difference between a scientist and a pseudo-scientist: the scientist will pay attention to the results and will even change their hypothesis/theory when new evidence to the contrary is discovered. The pseudo-scientist already knows the answer they are looking for and will disregard any evidence to the contrary out of hand.

Remember the flat earther documentary where they set out to finally disprove modern science and failed spectacularly? Remember when confronted with hard evidence disproving their theory, they immediately started blaming the testing equipment and methodology, never yielding for a moment that they could be wrong. That is a problem, in my opinion. They regularly begin to reject real indisputable evidence in favor of ‘vibes’ or whatever leads them to believe hare-brained theories, and next thing you see people venturing further out into Lala Land where everything magically fits into their set of “theories” and they are further disconnected from reality.

I really think we’ve let down generation after generation with degrading educational standards. Pet theories are one thing but outright rejecting science because you can’t understand it or do it yourself is counterproductive. Pseudo science doesn’t help anyone and deserves to be relegated to the tabloids like they used to be (of course I’m sure that people believed some of that shit whole-heartedly back then too, again despite lacking any credible evidence)

I don’t think the timing is necessarily coincidence 😅

She does, somehow. At 27 years of age her estimated worth is apparently around $710,000,000

Just to be clear: I’m not making an excuse for anyone, i think racism is garbage in any country 🥂

Stress test? 🗜️

Just a reminder that the US is not the only country packed with racists 👐

Here’s an article detailing some of the shortest flights celebrities have been criticized for taking:

A taste from the article, detailing the excesses of 24-year-old influencer Kylie Jenner:

“According to an automated Twitter account that tracks celebrity flights based on transponders and tail fin marking, Jenner’s flight on 12 July lasted just 17 minutes, taking her from Van Nuys in Los Angeles to the nearby town of Camarillo. The model had earlier taken a 27-minute trip in her jet, a $72m Bombardier BD 700, to Van Nuys from Thermal, California.”

First thing i thought of too 🥂
