Tbh I'd rather they used the money to pay down the deficit because that will be a more meaningful use of the money in the long run
Maybe, but its a lot harder for journalists to trick people about what's going on if they get a thousand dollar rebate on their account and the government says it's money saved by cutting out bad spending
 
Suicide passes pain onto the loved ones of the one who commited it. It's just making your issues someone else's problem.

Inb4: Euthanasia alleviates pain, so all suicide is cool bro
Give up on the blackpill that is self doubt. Imposter syndrome? Never. Doubt is a luxury you don't have, my friend.

Internalize the Bastard.

Do I deserve happiness in life? FUCK no. I'm a fat lazy autistic retard who has made enough mistakes that I've pissed away a dozen second chances God himself personally handed to me on a golden platter. By all rights I should be dead by now, or living with my parents somewhere. Am I going to grasp happiness anyway? FuuuuuuuUCK YES.

My game design skills are 20 years out of date, I left a promising career of coding behind in my youth in lieu of the easy job that was glorified tech janny work, but that doesn't matter because the people who ARE doing my dream job now are worse than I could ever be and if I can scam them into buying my substandard products or hiring my autistic retard ass, that means I'm BETTER THAN THEY ARE. And I've seen their social media accounts: I AM BETTER THAN THEY ARE. And that's horrifying.

Am I qualified to replace Alyssa Mercunty at Kotaku? Hell fucking no, Journalism requires writing talent and skill and acumen and a finger on the pulse of the gaming industry. People have to be professionals and balance the needs of the consumer with the wants of the publishers to do that job. But they're all fuckwits too, more so than me, so watch me bullshit my way into working for them. Youtube? I have a microphone best described as "charming" on discord, but I bet you money I could do as good as the pigroach or the fucking lawpope. I'm a fat blob of self doubt and self hatred but I bet you I can trick these fuckers into liking me!

Am I qualified to do anything I do daily in my career? Hell fucking no, but somehow I suckered someone into giving me money to do it and a certificate saying I can! And how did I get those magic pieces of paper? God only knows, cause I sure as fuck don't remember; I'm pretty sure I was drunk when I took the CCNA exams and I blacked out and woke up in the middle of my second college degree. I'm so good at scamming I don't even realize I'm doing it!

Suicide is like quitting when the woke blue hair faggots come for your job. Quitting just helps them, it's what they are hoping you'll do. Why help your enemies? If it wants you gone from life, then MAKE the universe kill you.
 
NASA's TikTok influencers are very worried about potential cuts:

Budget cuts (relatively to the insanely high Apollo spending) don't explain why they went backwards:

Someone points out that they've wasted their budget pushing conspiracy theories instead of actual space programs:

The stranded astronauts can't use that capsule because it's unsafe:

NASA may not be able to build rockets anymore, but that's because they do SCIENCE instead:

Worried that Trump's NASA will actually work on its charter of advancing human spaceflight:

NASA's strength is SCIENCE, not engineering:

How many stars has NASA sent spacecraft to if "stars/galaxies/planets" are their speciality?

She believes that there is zero bloat at NASA:

Yet she posts proof that they plenty of bloat to cut:

Also I am not going to spend the next 4 years living tight so the democrats take power back and give 100 trillion to faggots for dicksucking research. Adjusting spending so the debt will be payed off gradually is enough. It's up to future generations to keep that trend going.

i once thought it ludicrous for my cousin to be willing to vote for either of trump's inexperienced children if they decided to run for 2024
now, i'm willing to elect a literal random child if it keeps those money printers and burners from the executive office

jesus fucking christ; what the fuck, man
 
Has she ever said anything meaningful that would compel people to listen? I don't think anyone would willingly listen to her give non-answers for an hour especially if she's not the spokes person for someone people actually want to hear from.
She didn't even have the balls to ride it out to the very end, she quit and got replaced with the Netflix adaptation of her.

Why she got rewarded with a show is beyond me.

There’s a lot of things about people that can evoke empathy from me. I would think I’m probably a little bit more of a sucker than a completely average person, because I want to believe in higher ideals like redemption.

Nothing has gotten me banned from more social media accounts/platforms than suicide baiting. I have absolute contempt that blocks out the possibility of any other reaction, because that behavior is antithetical to everything I consider honorable. I will always do my best to torture suicide baiters.

There isn’t anyone alive who doesn’t owe moral debts to others. If you don’t think you have moral debts, it’s because you’re self obsessed and self pitying.

If you’re going to tell people that you want to kill yourself, do it and stop trying to buy empathy with bad checks. And nobody will care the way you want them to care, they can’t be as obsessed with you as you are with yourself. At best, they’ll think it was senseless and regret that you were too stupid and self absorbed to think about your actions in any way that didn’t romanticize failure.

All that happened was you were your own agent of natural selection, and nature healed itself

Suicide is the perfect example of a thing justifying itself

This is astounding on so many levels. Instead of using their budget to actually do science, or engineering for that matter, NASA would rather pay these weird "social media experts" to...I guess defend NASA bureaucracy? Space is so easy to sell nowadays because nobody remembers the part about the Apollo program sucking up 3-4% of the GDP for years and years. All we have is nostalgia for actual achievements, and a fuckton of Youtubers and bloggers who point out abandoned NASA programs and all the cool shit engineers have drawn up since there. We know all the fascinating missions NASA cancelled or scaled back because they'd rather spend their money on social media influencers. I mean NASA literally hands out grants to engineers and astronomers for innovative mission concepts, but they just get stored in an archive.

We have decades and decades of cool science shit, but we never see any of it because NASA thinks no one would like da science if they didn't pay "Astro Alexandra" an obscene sum per year. And thinks it's nice to hire furry troons who screech at senior citizens who actually accomplished things like Homer Hickam.
 
She is right. Let's pay people to theorize about the stars instead of paying the people who are actually trying to get us to them.
Read her last one in the post. She was a NASA lobbiest at the UN or some shit. Then she started her own space business and was chosen for 30 under 30 you guys! Totally on her merits for sure as a super-serious and smart space person! Girl power you guys!
