If you ask me to verify my age for your service I will just not use your service

Like ??? Are these people insane? No I'm not showing ID to post memes or look at porn that's stupid

I will begrudgingly do id verification for banking because I need to survive under capitalism but beyond that? I can live without your shitty spyware

never ceases to amaze the degree to which we are governed by men who's emotional maturity stopped developing at age 11

Cyberbullying works, do it more

@enigmatico@mk.absturztau.be If Elon Musk wants to blame me, personally, for his loss of wealth, he can go right ahead. Every trans person on the planet lives rent free in this dudes' head and its hilarious

ELON I STOLE YOUR LUNCH MONEY NANA NANA BOO BOO

@Polychrome@poly.cybre.city hmm I wonder why the houthies are doing that /s

Like yes I understand why the imperial war machine is doing imperial things. I just think its abhorrent and the media at large is complicit because they fail so hard to call any of it out

The one thing that fucks me up reading all these articles on the signal leaks is that not one journalist has even approached the subject of bombing Yemen. No one has been like "And why the fuck are we bombing Yemen?!"

Its all clutching pearls over how incompetent morons could have fucked up this bad, and how the trump admin really does hate europe that bad after all. Everyone in the media is tacitly accepting the framing that bombing Yemen will "serve US national interests" (read: make rich people richer) which is not only asinine, but violates human rights.

Corpos and mainstream journalists alike are up in arms over how service members were put in danger. But no one has asked why those service members were in danger in the first place?

Its all very frustrating. We should not be carpet bombing major civilian population centers, period. How is that a controversial take? Why do I feel like I'm the only one making this point? Am I going insane?

If we keep accepting the fascist's framing of events, they will win. Fucking stop, for the love of god.

chat i just made yaseen keysmash and I swear to god I think I saw a steam achievement pop up in real life

God the media's takes on this are awful. No, Elon doesn't want to deorbit the ISS because he got into a twitter fight. Its far more nuanced and sinister than that. From a space enthusiast, here's the real story:

TL;DR Elon wanted to deorbit this bitch long before getting his grubby paws on the treasury. SpaceX already has the deorbit vehicle contract, he just wants the ISS destroyed early so the next president can't extend its lifespan. A private-sector space station is lucrative for Elon, and killing ISS early also kills his competitor's station plans.

Firstly, those astronauts were not "left in space." SpaceX wasn't denied opportunity to "rescue" them. They didn't need rescuing and they weren't ever stuck. The boeing spacecraft initially planned as their return vehicle had minor malfunctions (had they used it, it would have been fine). Out of an abundance of caution, they were given the option to stay on as researchers for another 6 months until the next scheduled flight. At no point did they get into actual emergency contingency measures, which would have seen a rapid SpaceX contract for returning crew in under a week. Or they could have squeezed into the soyuz capsule in a true emergency.

Astronauts train their entire life for a chance to go to space. If they are lucky, they get to do it once for 3-6 months. These astronauts obviously saw the opportunity of a lifetime and took it. The only people working on the ISS are people who's dream it is to be an astronaut. There are too few slots to give the job to anyone else. Elon is insulting the choice they made by "rescuing" them and bringing them home early.

Secondly, we are seeing rapid commercialization of space research. Axiom Space sent up paying customers to the ISS, bypassing the normal selection process. Awful, stupid, capitalist. NASA's hand was forced by budget cuts and maintenance obligations. They needed funding from somewhere, basically. NASA also signed a deal with Axiom to use the ISS a scaffolding for Axiom's next-gen corpo station which makes the whole process easier and cheaper. The next-gen Axiom station has contracts all over american industry (boeing, amazing, blue origin, university programs across the nation, and even SpaceX). It is in part the Artemis program's successor to the Apollo-era jobs program.

A key thing to understand is that the US space industry is and always has been a jobs program, and Elon is very intent on blowing that up for cold hard cash.

Elon wants ISS gone yesterday for greed-driven reasons - ditching the only publicly-owned station so NASA is forced to award all future science and station contracts to private companies. He also likely wants it deorbited before the competitor Axiom Space station can come online (even though his fucking company is helping build it).

In late June, the Biden admin awarded SpaceX $843 million dollars to build a space station deorbit vehicle. Very wisely IMO, they read the writing on the wall and scheduled the actual deorbit for 2030 during the next administration after Trump is out of office (hopefully). Elon wants to do it now, and is doing a press blitz to get it done. Deorbiting the ISS during Trumps' term means the next president has no opportunity to extend its lifespan and help Axiom. NASA will essentially be forced to award the next space station to SpaceX for gajillions of dollars. Its a very calculated move for personal gain and I hate it. Don't think this is about Elon's ego, he was creaming his pants about deorbiting the ISS long before he got his grubby little paws anywhere near the treasury
