"ankle" Whenever I think of a stereotypical goon I think of Ethan Suplee in Butterfly Effect just rocking his hot goth gf super lazy, doesn't even know where he is but stinking of hot hot monkey sex

non-vanilla sex sucks. karma sutra stuff is all bullshit and there are like 3 or 4 actually viable and enjoyable positions: missionary, woman on top, doggy and the fourth one is a wild card for a position i'm forgetting. the problem with most sex positions is that they don't actually let you see your partner's body especially if you're different sizes and that basically takes all enjoyment out of it

Terraforming Mars is a terrible idea and I would still be on-board as one of the suffering first-Gen colonists without hesitation, even if someone guaranteeing a cheap and painful death like Musk were running it.

Maybe it could support a tourism industry? I don't think people will really want to live there. It's just too uneconomical and too unpleasant. Some people in the US complain about flyover country--I don't really get how space is meaningfully an improvement over that, except for the novelty factor. silence_kit has a new favorite as of 14:38 on May 27, 2020 |

That thing was fueled by NASA just wanting to push the boundaries and then hijacked by Reagan-ites Can we put freaking lasers on it? I think the whole project was bulked up just so it could work on and possibly retrieve military satellites But before that well we had the space race and we didn't put foot one on the moon without it being about loving commies

I used to get so frustrated in the SA space nerd thread by the posters who would regularly compare the settlement of space colonies with the white American settlement of the West Coast of the US, and would wonder aloud why the US government isn't heavily investing in space technology/travel/settlement, since the Western Expansion of the US was such a huge deal and turned out to be a great success.

Most human effort is for stupid and unnecessary things, but most of the people who complain about it complain about it because they want all the stupid and unnecessary things to benefit them as directly as possible.

Opinion 1: If a speculative technology on its face is not obviously theoretically impossible using 0th order basic physics reasoning, then it is inevitable, and will become everything that was hoped and dreamed. Opinion 2: Progress in technology development is always proportional to investment. Speculative technologies never fail to reach their full potential due to being based on bad ideas. Instead, technologies can only be failed by lack of investment.

Space conquest is nothing for idle fantasy. It's serious business and we should treat it as such because it's going to be a lot of work.

If you want a snack it's hard to beat peanut butter and celery. The peanut butter makes it hearty and filling, but the celery makes it light and refreshing. Plus all the fiber from the celery means it won't stick around on ya.
