Anti-space/science rhetoric on the left.

A lot of it comes from people who are anti-Elon and are against everything he touches. So they become anti SpaceX. Then they become anti-aerospace.

They don't understand, or even want to understand, the science and importance behind it's advances. The thought process just goes Musk Bad>SpaceX Bad>Aerospace Bad.

Remember how in Interstellar, there's that teacher who was casually teaching that the moon landings were fake? Like, society had reached a point where they cared so little for space, that they actively turned a blind eye towards its accomplishments or just straight up dismissed them? I feel like that's the path we're on. Because of people's blind hatred towards a rich douche, an entire EXTREMELY IMPORTANT industry is becoming reviled through sheer ignorance.

The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.

Can someone ELI5 why this is important? Is there something wrong with NVIDIA drivers?

I always felt like Buddhism was more a philosophy than a religion. It can be used as a religion, but it really boils down to "Life sucks, but you can be happy if you stop thinking about how much life sucks".

I'm not surprised there are no comments yet. The Putin apologists don't like it when factual numbers are posted. It's hard to ignore or argue against math.

I'm not seeing the option for "Unenthusiastically masturbate and roll over back to sleep."

Been to a grocery store lately? Looked at rent prices? How about clothing? Gas? Basic necessities?

People think the economy's getting worse because it IS for consumers. I don't really give a shit if a company is paying less for grain than they did a year ago if the prices they charge for the final product havn't gone down!

Until basic costs of living start decreasing, most people aren't going to see any positive change.

IR Blasters!

I feel like I'm the only one who used them or cares that they were quietly phased out of phones.

You used to be able to use your phone as a universal remote. Being able to control my TV, sound system, ceiling fan, and lights all from my phone was so convenient! Plus if you were stuck in like a waiting room and they had ads or garbage like Fox News on, you could change the channel or turn it off completely. It was an incredibly useful feature to me, but I guess barely anyone else used since it was removed from phones without any complaints.

Except me. I'm complaining!

Oh look, it's DWS. The woman who orchestrated the 2016 DNC primaries to be so blatantly biased towards Clinton that it turned a lot of voters away and is partially responsible for Trump winning.

And here I thought the earth has opened up beneath her feet and swallowed her years ago.

My favorite thing is when a conservative finds themselves outside of one their safe-space, echo chambers and are shocked to discover that not only do regular people not agree with them, but they find their views so abhorrent that they actively view all conservatives as complete pieces of shit. And they are not wrong to do so.

I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a real Ben Shapiro tweet. All I ever see are obvious fake ones like this. Like, there is a ton to make fun of Ben Shapiro for, but shit like this is just so low-effort it's childish.

This is the same flavor of shit as the Babylon Bee. It's "satire" but done in a way that there's no real joke. It's just "Hey look at what a piece of shit this person is! Here's a made up scenario where they act like a piece of shit!" And then idiots who believe everything they see online fail to notice that it's made up and take it as fact.

Keep going. If this shitty screenshot continues to be shared on the internet, I'm pretty sure in just a few more years the quality will have deteriorated to the point where it's unreadable.
