  • So you are arguing that cost plus has been the way to go?

    When clearly Boeing’s performance has shown that they’ve been sucking at the tax payer teat for decades.

    Meanwhile SpaceX took on the risk of the development cost without using the tax payer as a bottomless ATM. They did it quicker AND cheaper.

    So yes, they have done it WORLDS better and you are a fucking idiot to argue otherwise.

    Musk aside (yes the man has proved himself to to be another narcissistic moron with more money than sense), but SpaceX did highlight the gluttony of the what the space industry has become.

    You CANNOT argue that any program can come close to SpaceX.

    You make a comment about that one program, (moon-whatever) that got cancelled, and while that sucks, it was because priorities changed. Both sides admitted to it and you are using it falsely as some sort of earmark of failure of the overall program.

    Yet you say the other guy is arguing in bad faith.

    Fuck Elon Musk, but you are kind of a douche too, to downplay what those engineers have done. They literally turned the industry upside down and here you are, talking shit.

    What the fuck have you done?


















  • I agree somewhat with your post but this comment is utter nonsense. Diet has everything to do with it. Calories in, calories out is an immutable fact. The law of conservation of mass. However, not all calories are equal.

    Obesity IS unhealthy. There are no two ways about it, but people just blame the individual, saying you just need to eat less, or or exercise more, are genuinely stupid.

    There are many root causes. Modern diets are absolute garbage for one. Mass production of foods, fast foods, sedentary lifestyles from young ages, poor eating habits, etc… has absolutely fucked a lot of people.

    Cravings can be addictions.

    The body can quite literally work against itself. The brain can be so self destructive (which seems so ironic to me).

    The world compounds that by creating body dysmorphia, either through transphobia, or celebrated body types that are unobtainable without great genetics and constant training (whose got time for that, do I really need a 6 pack?).

    You don’t need to be fit to be beautiful, but don’t conflate that with “obesity is not unhealthy”, because it is.

    Extra weight on your your hips and legs will wear them out quicker. It pushes on your lungs and makes it harder to breathe. It makes your heart work harder to pump blood throughout your body.

    I know from personal experience. It was terrible.

    High cholesterol, high blood pressure… these things WILL kill you.

    Being a healthy weight, everything just feels better. More energy, moving around, getting up, sitting down, I go on and on.

    My point is:

    People are fat phobic and super fucking ignorant about it. There are.mamy causes, and sometimes people get given a really unfair dice roll, both environmentally and generically.

    But obesity is still unhealthy, and if you are obese, I hope you can find something that works for you.


  • I used to agree with this until I got hit with PTSD.

    Then I had cravings that were next to impossible to say no to.

    I wouldn’t even be hungry and I’d be screaming at myself internally that I didn’t even need this, and yet I wouldn’t be able to stop.

    Ultimately my therapy and medication was able to help stabilize and, almost like magic, I could say no again. My Dr said it it is literally an addiction.

    People will always judge and OP is ignorant AF.

    It also doesn’t help that modern diets are built on mass production and mass consumption of sugars which isn’t good for us.
