Why don't Marsonauts or whatever just bring the oxygen with them? It doesn't weigh anything, so just stuff like a planet's worth in a big balloon or something and pop it when you get to Mars.

How long do you think that balloon would stay tied on to the back of the spaceship before coming loose?

Britain's UN Security Council seat should be ceded to India. As follows: 1. Britain is no longer a global power of note and will continue to decline. 2. With precedence set by the USSR ceding its seat to Russia, the strongest successor state of the 1945 British Empire is undoubtedly India 3. The only actual good thing the Security Council does is let the large imperialist countries veto each other from using the UN as overt tools of said imperialism. In this regard India is a far better voice than essentially giving the US 2 seats. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 13:03 on Feb 20, 2021 |

Also if you think India would be an imotive meant you obviously haven’t been following their politics. Modhi is an authoritarian hyper nationalist shitstain.

There’s way better choices for that than India, though. poo poo, Australia would be better. Putting India on the security council would be like saying your box full of oily rags is a great place to store your matches and old dynamite.

The Indian people I have known who have immigrated to America really like to trash the Indian government. Now to be fair, there is an obvious selection bias there, and complaining about the government is a pastime for everyone from all over the world.

Does someone here know or know how to explain what the farmers strikes in India at the moment are really about? I know the basics like the government used to buy grain at fixed prices as a form of welfare and now they want to modernize and the farmers don't like it. What is good or bad in this case though, thanks Unpopular thread in advance.

I mean if the UN security council is supposed to be able to uphold it's prime directive then it need to be able to project power, and currently neither India nor Nigeria can do that.

The security council is unofficially the cool kids’ canned sunshine club. So maybe South Africa can get a spot on it since they had nuclear weapons at one time. Or Israel or North Korea

This is quite much true also towards modern Russia. They have that one burned-out aircraft carrier they can tow to sink slowly anywhere around the world, but actually going meaningfully anywhere that isn't immediate neighbor to a friendly territory is a problem for them.

The least believable part of any given conspiracy theory is the conspiracy. I have never seen any evidence that any two given people are capable of working together for long enough to accomplish anything nefarious, or at all.

docbeard posted:The least believable part of any given conspiracy theory is the conspiracy. I have never seen any evidence that any two given people are capable of working together for long enough to accomplish anything nefarious, or at all. Not a conspiracy theorist, but there are a lot of completely true long term schemes that turned out to be true. Conspiracy theories have a little bit of a selection bias. The ones that are ridiculous are easy to spot, but when one turns out to be true the natural reaction is to pivot from "that's nuts" to "oh yeah that's completely obvious". Like if you were a hermit in the fifties yelling to the crowds about how the government is tracking and spying on university professors to suppress their ideas, maaaaan, you would be called a looney. Or if you said in the 80s that there is a huge government robot who listens to your calls, or you said in the 90s that your email was being tracked, or you said in the 60s that the government is staging fake attacks, or you said in the 40s that the government is making southern communities into medical experiments, or, or, or. They seem obvious in retrospect, but crazy at the time. And twenty years from now there will be a few things that sounded crazy at the time.

In terms of name brands the old dutch box with the two silver bags inside are the best chips you can buy. Cape cod is overrated but have the best sea salt and vinegar chips which are the best flavor. Flat chips are superior to any ruffled chip. Ruffled chips are for people who want to dip their chip which implies inferior flavor. Baked chips can be good but baked lays taste too much like packing chips
