I think they have gliding capabilities and can maneuver but they generally follow a predictable trajectory and thats why they are able to be shot down, because if they do maneuver they lose a stupid amount of range.

Back when Ukraine invasion kicked off there was a lot of puffing about Russia and Chinas hypersonic capabilities, fearmongering essentially. I was a nerd bout the X projects so i knew it was all smoke. When I would say that Russia or China can’t even begin to touch US hypersonic tech, this is what I mean. The US has been working on hypersonic flight for decades, before China’s economic boom, and while post soviet Russia was still a baby with a destroyed economy. I would be very surprised if the have anything anywhere close to what we have.

From the moment I learned about the rave being attacked I thought it was insane that they were holding a party of that kind that close to Gaza. It’d be like holding burning man a few miles from occupied Kharkiv in Ukraine. Sure, it would most likely be safe, but who the fuck would think it’s a good idea?

It’s literally just shit like this every time

Oooooh that blew my mind

Maybe he’s saying Picard never had humanity to begin with.

It’s not about what you get to see, it’s about who runs the platform.

I didn’t know that not wanting to federate with a sociopathic megacorporation that has a terrible precedent with unethical behavior is just a matter of having different opinions.

Being open doesn’t mean you let leeches enter your home

As someone who has had physical and psychological dependency on substances I guess I’ve never been addicted

Addiction means you have a strong impulse for it, but at the end of the day you’re still choosing.

Capitalism by its nature will carry out unethical behavior if it means profit. So no, business was always soulless. That’s why regulation needs to exist, so the penalty for unethical behavior will negate the profit they could make from it.

Business does go down when a company stops advertising. My guess is that Netflix didn’t give a shit about the moral panic, not that there was ever an indication that they cared in the first place.

Holy sensationalist title batman

Sure, but that’s not my point. The comment I was replying tried to dismiss what I said because apparently it’s impossible for people to protest someone who hasn’t taken office yet.

Bruh. Yes. Remember there were protests against Trump before he was even president?

If you ever even visited Buenos Aires for a few days, you’d know these protests are astroturfed. Opposition will fill busses from the villas miserias (equivalent to favelas) and flood the streets and gridlock the capital for hours. It happens so often that its become a regular nuisance. A lot of these people don’t work and are on social plans. They are essentially used as a foot army by the peronistas to manipulate political power.

I’m not saying this to justify whats going on, but giving people context.

I simply don’t trust meta, they have incredibly bad precedent.
