this is awesome work.

outta curosity, how do you feel about the Nova and Sydney classes?

They may be my favorites, lol. Nova because it’s sleak and actually makes sense as a science platform. (unlike the galaxy class. too big, too resource intensive, too many crew. and what the hell is with all the families on board getting shot at?)

I like the Sydney because it’s form follows function. it’s boxy, ugly, utilitarian. but it acutally makes sense. (Seriously… what the hell’s with the d’s compound curves? tons of wasted internal volume… exessive structural elements. Tons of vulnerabilities.)

Id say so. (goes to straight to the bit that’s relevant. No need to gross yourself out any more than necessary.)(this from the last day or so.)

(excuse me while I bleach out my eyes.)

naturally. she married a couchfucking hellspawn.

you can be a new yorker and not understand new yorkers.

bev is clearly not blazed enough for those puns.

Jellico still sucks, though.

most of the energy is actually spent in the first few moments of take off, lol :P (also can you imagine, a decade or two from now having dessicated orange ass falling on you? ew.)

1. there are protests pretty much everywhere. persistent and on going.
2. tearing down the east wing may have been retaliation for no kings 2 in which 7-8 million people turned up across the nation, setting records for turn out- at least as the largest turn out in US history; and I can think of a small handful globally that are larger.
3. going on a general strike means not earning money, means not being able to feed your kids.
4. If you’re wondering why we’re not protesting in DC…The US is the size of the EU. imagine going from Madrid to Amstardam. That’s the same straightline distance from me to DC. and I’m only in Minneapolis- people In LA? that’s more than double. forget people in Hawai’i, or any of the pacific Islanders. Or Alaska. driving, that’s a 16 hour drive, non stop, one way.

It’s easy to sit there and feed into this narrative that americans are just going along with it. We’re not. you don’t hear about it because mainstream media here isn’t covering it. and no, we’re not asking you to come save us. if it comes to it- and right now, it’s looking like it will- we’re going to civil war.

carbon footprint and monetary costs, and it’d take too long… Pits are more effecient, cheaper and quicker.

though, if we’re not worried about that, I’d agree that’d be a good option. Alternatively, I hear ocean gate is trying to do more tours.

The baptists don’t have a problem? or Methodists? or Lutheran?

Your claim that allowing clergy to marry is a bald faced lie designed to make you complacent. Of course it’s the catholics who have the problem- and of course it’s beause their priests aren’t allowed to marry and vent their perversion.

I know rational thinking is hard when it goes against everything your taught, so allow me to repeat my edit: if that claim were true, then when you step outside the church, you would see a disproportionate number of sexual harassment and other forms of sexual misconduct in the workplace among single men and disproportionately less among married men. The reality is, when it comes to sexual abuse; being married has almost no statistical effect on who is a sexual abuser.

the reality is that sexual abuse and misconduct among clergy and lay leaders is a problem in every religion, and every sect of every religion. If your particular flavor of religion doesn’t have a problem… it’s because your flavor doesn’t see it as a problem. But it is going on. Quite probably in your own church.

I know. that’s hard to hear. You’re told that your pastors are to be trusted with everything, and that leaders are good and righteous… And that’s exactly why sex pests seek those positions.

if this were true then you’d see runners in Olympics and elsewhere not swinging their arms. also a pubmed.

remind me… do they come with rats or really big spiders with really painful bites?

I’d rather hide ICE. prefferably someplace deep, dark, dank, and with no exits. maybe a few spikes at the bottom? Rats, too.

Uhm. AG is fundamentalist evangelical. Their pastors are encouraged to marry. (And the spouse is basically free labor.)

Nice try, though.

Edit to add; if that were true then you’d see a disproportionate number of sex pests outside the church being single- yet most are in fact married (because most people marry.)

At a denominational level, every group has a sex pest problem.

At an individual church, if it doesn’t, then it’s probably not been around long for a long time.

Sex pest pastors/priests/rabbi/imams/whatever-cleric are in fact super common.

The AG didn’t wear vestments. At most, it’s a suit and tie; and that’s only in the super old school churches or the mega churches like James River Assembly.

They like to pretend it’s because they’re not super judgey, but the reality is if you don’t walk in looking exactly like what ever that particular church does… you clearly have some repenting to do.

(I should know. I grew up in an AG church. They’re allergic to diversity and critical thinking.)

Who’s replacing him? It’s hard to imagine someone who is worse, but I bet MAGA can.

“…Zetabaytes? no. <mumbles on a hot mic> it was yottabytes”

I liked the owl! but this critter is cute too. in a “slightly misunderstood” way,

Who nominated Garland to USAG? to whom did he answer to?

you act like Biden had no power in that relationship. Garland’s job was to ride herd on the DOJ. Biden’s job (as far as this matter goes,) was to ride herd on Garland.

it’d have to reach the great lakes first.

It’ll still sink when they try to pull it out, though.
