Seems to be OP is that reddit mod asking the question.

They’re asking you what you think.

Thank you for sharing the other half of this equation <3.

Apparently the patriarchy leaves women allergic to empathy.

I haven’t read this one, but anything by bell hooks is a banger.

It’s not an iphone, but American-made smartphones exist. They just need a bit of investment.

20 chats and only one had a reporter!

At a 95% Mike Waltz still cruises home with an A for that maneuver.

Traffic (2000)

You know, when they forced Khruschev out, he sat down and wrote two letters to his successor. He said - “When you get yourself into a situation you can’t get out of, open the first letter, and you’ll be safe. When you get yourself into another situation you can’t get out of, open the second letter”. Well, soon enough, this guy found himself into a tight place, so he opened the first letter. Which said - “Blame everything on me”. So he blames the old man, it worked like a charm. He got himself into a second situation he couldn’t get out of, he opened the second letter. It said - “Sit down, and write two letters”.

From a movie and not real, but basically the playbook they’re using.

Fair, I was assuming that their unease was moral not safety.

Ok, but their other options are Boeing and Russian Soyuz.

I make no claim of long-term planning.

Longtermism is a philosophy that Musk has been writing about for many years.

Elon isn’t one for careful planning.

He is one for careless disregard of short-term consequences while seeking what he has determined to be a long-term good.

I have personally argued for restoring the central valley swamp ecosystem in California. Doing so should be a delicate task, because the valley is no longer hydrologically or morphologically tuned to swampland. The entire overland water transport hydrological system in the valley was redesigned by humans to support farmers in a dry basin decades after the cotton farmers drained it.

Just dumping water into what used to be the lakebed is reckless. It is an action taken with no long-term planning for rebuilding an ecosystem that emerged from the last ice age thanks to careful maintenance, gardening, and stewardship by indigenous peoples; building this ecosystem required human ingenuity and careful planning; so will rebuilding it. It is an action taken without even short-term planning for what happens to the water next as it refills a basin now adapted to dry conditions; it is one of our nation’s agricultural powerhousen.

I believe that he thinks that just putting the water in the right place without anyone helping develop the new swamp ecosystem is enough to restore California’s wetlands. Maybe he’s right, on a long enough timescale. I think we should prefer to be careful and to work with the various relevant communities in that area to ensure that any further changes we make to this ecosystem are done responsibly.

Because the water would go where they want it to go. You just don’t understand where they want it to go or why.

You think they want it to go to where the fires are. That’s wrong.

They want it to go into the central valley to refill the giant lake and swamp ecosystem that used to be there.

They don’t care about the short-term needs of people who need to drink or put out fires or grow crops. They are making decisions entirely from the perspective of longtermism. They see restoring the central valley’s swamp ecosystem as the overwhelming long-term good, regardless of any short-term consequences.

Right idea, reckless implementation. It’s also not clear that just dumping as much water as possible into the central valley is the best way to restore the swamp ecosystem. So much of the valley’s hydrology and ability to retain water have been damaged since the cotton farmers drained the lake after the civil war. This is a restoration that needs to be done slowly and deliberately, both to not kill people who currently rely on that water and to manage the environmental impacts on the basin of suddenly reintroducing water that it’s spent 150 years adapting to live without.

Weeds are a healthy part of the environment and soil restoration.

Malicious misinformation is toxic and prevents anything healthy from growing.

Right, but this isn’t weeds in my garden, this is someone intentionally dumping toxic waste that’s killing me and anything I try to grow, including any weeds that might have tried popping up.

I’m more struggling with the intentional and ill-willed type.

That misinformation is too hard to fight.

functional ovaries

I don’t want a pill. I want a full organ integrated into my body that releases hormones responsive to my body’s natural rhythms and diet and environment.

I don’t care if it’s via cybernetic augmentation or a stem-cell grown uterus combo package.

I wasn’t lying if I was honestly mistaken. Thanks for the correction.

Hunted and had their horns removed by greedy humans.

Oh sorry, I didn’t realize that blowing up the launch pad because they didn’t bother to calculate if it could survive without a sacrificial water barrier to boil away counted as a success.

Everyone hit by that debris had it coming like the whales, right?

Wikipedia says 4 successes and 4 failures. The first two block 1s failed. Now the first two block 2s have failed.

I still get to give spacex shit for their failures consistently causing damage and chaos and disruption to the rest of the world. They are menaces that don’t think through the consequences of their actions.
