He'd probably post about his tattoos on reddit and show off about how many followers he has on Twitter. Good thing space can keep that dick contained.

Kaedric posted:If I had any complaint about the show, it's Diogo's character. He started out as a kid on the wrong side of the law, then encountered Miller and turned a new leaf (of sorts) after Miller let him go. Having him fall in with the more radical belters is fine I guess, but I feel like they just erased any growth he had and just turned him into a generic bad-guy goon. Diogo's character is probably the best example on TV of the radicalization of young men to extremist ideology and behavior. The fact that the Belter cause overall is a good one doesn't mean his wholeheartedly (gleefully, even) embracing becoming a thug that carries out extrajudicial murder of anyone his superiors deem 'enemies' is a good thing.

At least it's low altitude and most of the debris will be down quickly, unlike the Chinese one.

Only tangentially Expanse related, but depression inducing. I had recommended the show to a friend only to find out the reason he doesn't like sci-fi is because he's gone full Human Extinction Movement. Like, his ideal future is one where we all lay down and die and the Earth reclaims out artifice. Everything we've made, all the suffering everyone has endured for each other, should just be mopped up and a wild, civilization-free world should be left behind until the sun cremates it. ...I don't know what to say to someone for whom progress of any kind is objectionable.

Granted, the perigee of those fragments are presumably still fairly low, but it could still be years before they deorbit.

I've had some really weird and heated arguments with "dark green primitivists" who think humanity should either go extinct or regress to a "pre-technology" stone age existence and that farming or even fishing or hunting that's too "organized" would constitute civilization and thus technology and thus be bad. Maybe we can pull off living like cave men and never advancing, but it would be much safer and better for humans to just go extinct. These people love to argue this, online, from their desk in their home. I'm cynical and hopeless as hell about humanity's future (hell, expanse is downright optimistic), but killing us all now would ensure a 0% chance of us ever forming a worthwhile civilization rather than the maybe 1% we've got going on at the moment. Also "the stars are better off without us" is pretty silly. Stars don't have feelings, there almost certainly no life in our solar system and probably nothing within range that any human will ever be able to travel into the stars. Some random space rocks ain't going to care if they get mined or some idiots shoot at each other over them.
