However, rocket go zoom then land without boom is fun to watch.

Yeah, Musk is a true innovater by having them blow up the concrete launchpad on launch instead…

The government got more money from the patents NASA got then it cost to fund NASA. Privatizing space hurts everyone except the rich asshole who gets the parents.

givesomefucks, to piracy in HBO Does not streams WestWorld anymore

It was taken off like a year ago, maybe longer. The last season bombed so they took the whole thing down to avoid paying residuals. Think it was even before the merger.

Which just highlights how stupid the system is. Pay residuals, but pay them based on amount of viewing hours. If no one watches a show, there’s still no reason to remove it.

Currently an expensive show no one watches can just bleed money.

I saw a graphic of how big the “blind spot” is in front of modern trucks and it was bigger than most giant construction equipment.

And that’s for an average height driver.

Most of the huge truck guys also happen to be well under the average height, so entire reasonable size cars disappear in front of them when they tailgate. They might see the roof, but they won’t see brake lights or taillights.

It’s flat out not safe for other people. Which is why we have people driving giant SUVs instead of minivans now. Which just makes it worse for everyone else.

givesomefucks, to asklemmy in Do the right wing women in relationships with right wing guys think it's like a draco malfoy thing where they're a good guy underneath?

Cops are waaaaay more likely to commit domestic abuse against their spouses and children.

It’s unproven if shitty violent people are more likely to become cops, or if the training they receive and the culture they work in turns normal people into violent psychopaths.

But whichever is true, a cop is more likely to turn to violence in a disagreement/confrontation than pretty much any occupation.

givesomefucks, to asklemmy in If you could go back in time and stop any one person or group's musical career, who or what would it be?

Nothing.

Elvis didn’t invent anything musically, he was just the first white guy to do what Black guys had been doing.

If it wasn’t Elvis, it would have been someone else a couple months later.

givesomefucks, (edited ) to historyporn in "My turn next!" Testing bulletproof vests, 1923

Yeah, I don’t know how anyone would think this was “the first test”

It was a demonstration to potential buyers (cops) that it worked.

The makers didn’t just strap on their first prototype without knowing it would stop a bullet yet.

This was after they knew it would work.

I think OP is just grabbing posts from “fakehistoryporn” off Reddit and not understanding the difference…

Just another of the (probably hundreds) of shitty meme communities OP mods or posts too. At this point I’m just blocking their whole account.

givesomefucks, to asklemmy in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

Yeah, but there’s also the cognitive dissonance of you saying SpaceX is fun because they don’t explode…

But they do explode. Waaaaay more than NASA. Because if a NASA launch goes bad, everyone pays attention. If SpaceX goes bad, people just shrug

So by your own metrics you just said…

NASA is better than SpaceX.

No matter what position I took, it would have disagreed with your comment, because your comment disagrees with itself. Which explains why you think spacex is a positive.

givesomefucks, to newcommunities in Hey everyone, check out Police Supporters Of Lemmy, pro-cop lemmy space where we post funny cop memes, wholesome cop moments, and cops being heroes.

OP is almost certainly the same troll that’s done this on like 4-5 different accounts already.

washingtonpost.com/…/biggest-autism-advocacy-grou…

Tldr:

It’s founded and ran by two boomers who have an autistic grandson and were very very upset he had autism. That’s the generation that would actively try to avoid diagnosis and help because they thought the label was worse than the disease, preventing an entire generation from getting assistance.

So its less about empowering people with autism, and more fearmongering how bad it is and that someone with autism shouldn’t have any agency or choice in their lives.

I didn’t dig very deep, but yeah, I could see how that organization does a bunch of problematic shit

givesomefucks, to mildlyinteresting in Rare Tri-Colored Dalmation

I feel like it’s a lot more likely there’s another breed in there somewhere…

It’s almost entirely black, dalmatians are white with black spots.

givesomefucks, to asklemmy in Have you ever gotten scammed, package stolen, or been a victim of fraud in any way?

I once thought “Amazon refurbished” was a program by Amazon…

Turns out they just throw that label on random companies that refurbished on their own.

Bought a cellphone from one, they sent me the wrong phone model, and I paid for unlocked and they sent me one locked to a different carrier, then said that carrier was the most popular (it’s not) and they assumed it was what I wanted.

When I was complaining about that, they told me all I had to do was put it in a UPS drop box, explicitly told me I didn’t have to go to a store.

According to them, they never got the return.

I talked to Amazon, and their customer service just flat out lied and told me they could see the return was in transit.

Weeks later Amazon tried to charge me for the phone, and I had to do a charge back. Because apparently following the sellers instructions to put it in a drop off, meant I couldn’t prove I mailed it.

I have no idea if I was sent the wrong phone intentionally as a scam where they were always going to say they didn’t get the return, but it definitely felt like it by the end of it

givesomefucks, to asklemmy in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

They do…

The only advantage SpaceX has is that if NASA blew up a launchpad, there would be an investigation.

Everyone is used to Musk fucking shit up, and his defenders pretend it’s really a success.

Your problem is with the politicians who control NASA funding, not NASA.

givesomefucks, to piracy in Anyone have a good place to find British panel shows?

YouTube.

There’s more than a few channels that upload every episode almost immediately and you can pull the video via a download site by pasting in the URL if you want to archive them.

Some shows like Taskmaster just straight up upload their own shows as well.

givesomefucks, to memes in Any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence

No…

Surely this is just another example of everyone under retirement age being wrong and only the boomers really know what’s going on.

No one else spends so much time on Facebook, they’re clearly the most informed out of all the generations!

givesomefucks, to cyanideandhappiness in 5 January 2023

I’m not sure when it happened, but the author of these comics definitely pulled a Scott Addams at some point.

Probably when he got enough money to start thinking Republicans make some good points about tax rates
