@TomwithaDream @ZacksJerryRig @TheJusticeDept Okay but do you really think some legal citizen is gonna get my floors to a mirror finish weekly? And she also handles the ballots for me and my family so we don’t even have to go vote. It’s a win-win as I see it.

@chuckkirklandII @ZacksJerryRig @TheJusticeDept Did you just say that it loud? You're not supposed to knowingly hire illegal aliens. But you do you. As for how do we know, I guess we'll just need to get everyone an ID. Oh no, the dreaded "papers". People manage to show their ID for hundreds of things, we can handle it...

@RexWest0903 @TheRealThelmaJ1 Get a load of this libtard. Hates the beautiful statue of an American soldier carrying the flag.

@chuckkirklandII @TheRealThelmaJ1 You're patriotic. The statue is mocking patriotism. The statue is mocking you. So i disagree with the statue So i don't understand your response to call me "woke mob" its why people think maga is retarded. My position is pro patriotic like yours would be.

The new Banksy sculpture in London is brilliant

@aimmyboyHi @Acyn Yeah I forgot about that “news thing” let me go see what they’re saying about this… oh no what the fuck happened

@chuckkirklandII @Acyn If that were the case, don't you think it would be in the news? As important as those items are to our economy.

Trump: 18 trillion now pouring into our country. Less than 1 trillion in 4 years. That's 18 times more, but think of it, it's really almost 100 times more if you really multiply it out properly

@Aureate54668827 @theramblingfool Well duh only the last vote counts. I’ve seen one that goes “your vote is 1/8 billion, so it doesn’t matter” I really hope those people take that to heart and don’t vote in actual elections.

@theramblingfool @chuckkirklandII To say nothing of the fact i see people unironically arguing only the last person to vote matters if it is at 50% Like bro. What do you think happens to all the other votes up to that point?? One snowflake does not make an entire avalanche 🥶

To the extent the button pressing hypothetical is "an IQ test," you don't pass by pressing red, and you don't pass by pressing blue. You pass by actually understanding the *full enumeration* of costs and benefits to each color. Most people are failing.

@RichardMortimir @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero Oh right. I forgot you still think that the red button is the harmless one. I’m done here man we aren’t going anywhere let’s just put it to rest. Go find another retard who will engage with you for way too long. You win good sir, you are too stupid to be reasoned with! Bad faith

@chuckkirklandII @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero Yeah, red doesn’t cause the death of another person, that’s the omnipotent hypothetical doing it inherent to the situation from the moment it began. Not red voters who “survive”. The only circle here is your inability to accept this from the prompt. Feel free to walk away idiot

Red and blue button pushers: who's smarter? In a mostly-subscriber sample who took a brief verbal IQ test, the answer is... Blue pushers! If the whole population has an IQ of 100 with an SD of 15, their mean IQ would be 101.9, versus 97.0 for reds.

@RichardMortimir @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero Bingo. Let’s save the measuring for when our dicks are out and stick to the argument. Btw reds are actually just committing homicide. Here’s the definition if you need a reminder:

@chuckkirklandII @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero Higher IQ does not mean “better all the time at everything”, it means greater capability for reasoning. And you having “higher Iq” is not established. If the conversation is anything to go by it’s almost certainly the opposite.

@RichardMortimir @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero Do I need to re explain the definition of homicide to you again? Did you forget about that. Anyways we’re just going in circles. Let’s just agree to disagree and call it a day. Saves us both from continuing this argument that’s going nowhere.

@chuckkirklandII @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero Didn’t lose the argument at all. it’s a valid claim that you lack reading comprehension if I explain the meaning of “survives” over and over and you still believe red is responsible for killing people.

@RichardMortimir @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero Well if you really think that then clearly my logic is better because I have higher IQ. Or would that nearly fall into your definition of “imperfect.” Rules for thee but not for me

@chuckkirklandII @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero IQ correlates incredibly strongly across a number of real world metrics, especially when it comes to logic, reasoning, and understanding hypotheticals. It’s an imperfect measure of intelligence but it’s a valid measure. You seem to have a difficult time understanding things.

@RichardMortimir @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero When you’ve lost the argument you just start calling people stupid. You and I both know your analogy wouldn’t hold water (pun intended) when compared to the original. Mine is closer but still not quite the original. The original incites fear of mortality.

@chuckkirklandII @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero You’re inventing culpability that’s not in the original prompt, likely because you’re not that intelligent and have a hard time with reading comprehension. Red “survives” the scenario. They escape death from the omnipotent hypothetical, not cause it.

@RichardMortimir @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero Buddy IQ doesn’t mean shit. It measures your score on an IQ test. My score is pretty good (>2 SD), but I don’t care because it’s not important. It feels gross just writing the standard deviation line because it’s not a dick measuring contest.

@chuckkirklandII @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero That’s what the initial prompt is. Your analogy is different for many reasons. It involves far more capability, possibility for coordination, and agency. Killing vs surviving an already inherent event. If you can’t see the difference, it’s probably because you’re sub 90IQ.

@RichardMortimir @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero I’m honestly done arguing for blue. It’s simply not worth the headache of dealing with reds. So I’m saying go for it, push red and save yourself. After all, you’ve gotta look out for yourself first right? Put on your oxygen mask before helping others. You win good sir.

@chuckkirklandII @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero If people are too retarded to coordinate effectively to vote red and survive, how is that an argument for blue where your survival is purely reliant on coordination which is impossible? If people are randomly mashing buttons, picking the guaranteed survival option is optimal.

@RichardMortimir @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero You failed to make the original case because you assumed the boat was already sinking. The boat is only sinking if >50% press red. The buttons are more like “save youself and sink the boat” or “stick with your crew on the high seas… arghhh” so you see me matey, you botched it

@chuckkirklandII @scgphotographer @eldokineldo1 @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero Let’s give you an alternate hypothetical to explain how retarded this is You and everyone are on a ship that’s sinking. You’re in room just by yourself and the water is coming in, when magically two buttons are presented.

@PseudoDionysos @mikethree You don’t see any issue with taking a sample size of 8 billion and reducing it to 4?

@chuckkirklandII @mikethree probability is about ratios not amount. Reducing the sample size just makes it less continuous. Unless your problem was that if you were red it would make you responsible for the other's lives, which as a blue you'd think that anyways.

You and 4 other people take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If 3 or more press the blue button, you all survive. If only 2 people press the blue button, only the red button pressers survive. Which button do you press? The other people are foreigners with <80IQ

@highfreqhertz @SlsinchS27898 @Yrouel86 Plus those raptor 3s are beastly. Could be just the performance boost they need.

I take Orion seriously and it didn’t even insert the astronauts into NRHO, which is absolutely critical for any landing, if it gets 96% if the way there with flawless engine performance, I’m not concerned. Additionally the new version has Raptor 3 engines, which have more power, meaning less gravity losses, and they directly addressed many of the drymass issues as well.

The people in thunderf00t's comments cannot be real dawg😭

@highfreqhertz @SlsinchS27898 @Yrouel86 Ah fuck I definitely am mixing up flights huh. It’s hard to keep track of them all but thanks for keeping me accountable.

No, it didn’t, please watch the Flight 11 recap. And that’s how tests are run, i.e. Orion followed a free-return trajectory, but that is enough for NASA to trust it to insert the astronauts into NRHO and then leave, which requires good deal more delta-v. Basically what I’m saying, is if you get 95% of the way through ascent, to the point that it would only require a few more seconds of engine burn to reach orbit, does it really matter for testing purposes? Or what if they took the Ship to a 200x200 km orbit? I wouldn’t have any doubts it could reach a 200x250 km orbit, as long as the Ship engines perform fine, which they did (flawlessly), then there’s zero reason to doubt they could perform a few seconds more, especially after lighting perfectly fine after reentry. You have to keep in mind that all this can easily be calculated, they aren’t asking whether they can reach orbit due to uncertainties about performance, it’s relatively simple math, but rather whether or not something is going to blow up. Hell even NASA called it an “orbital flight test”, because that’s basically what it tested, among other more challenging things.

@highfreqhertz @SlsinchS27898 @Yrouel86 Alright man, I’m sold you got me. Yeah it can reach orbit, they just haven’t yet. Maybe flight 12, although that’s probably optimistic since it’s the first V3 right? Once it starts lofting up payloads and nailing the chopsticks is when things get interesting.

@highfreqhertz @SlsinchS27898 @Yrouel86 Which is why they keep extending the vehicle. It’s not a bad idea at all, but starting from stainless steel would probably mean they’d have to rethink the diameter. Especially with methane vs RP-1 density, it just favors a big fuck ass tank for better mass ratios.

@highfreqhertz @SlsinchS27898 @Yrouel86 Fair enough. You clearly know your stuff. Can I ask you why the original payload of V1 kept shrinking though? 150t -> 100t -> 50t -> 15t. I’d guess that the initial calculations were based on an aluminum/CF hull like the ITS before switching to stainless. It’s a lot of dry mass.

@YungTacoTuesday @anarchoboognish I wouldn’t worry too much about N.1. He probably thinks women are fictional since he’s never seen one

@anarchoboognish The average idiot does not realize that rape includes extortion and coercion because they do not understand the concept of consent.

@RexWest0903 @TheRealThelmaJ1 It’s an American patriot carrying an American flag? I love America duh. Meanwhile you’re all pissy that our troops are getting some attention. Woke mob mentality

@chuckkirklandII @TheRealThelmaJ1 Why would you like it?
