@DerekPederson3 Too many monsters on Mars, colonization is not possible
English
Yep
James Morton@JimmyMortonnn
@DerekPederson3 @shanewallick Mars colonisation is technically conceivable, but people underestimate the scale. It would be vastly easier to make Antarctica or the deep ocean self-sustaining for millions of people first, and we haven’t even come close on the planet we’re already adapted to. It’s vapourware.

@cmkosemen Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell.
English
Truth! I get the optimism driving such fantasies, but they break down the moment you start thinking about logistics!

@ArthurCDent @bananareasons @PostLeftWatch The thing that finally got me to stop using it was how it became a vice signal for right wing chuds.
English
@bananareasons @PostLeftWatch I’m not a leftist and I don’t use it — but because it’s juvenile — not because it’s harmful. E.g. I doubt anyone out there suffering from a cognitive deficit is harmed by 3rd parties calling each other dumb, an idiot, an imbecile or a moron.

I'm disappointed in every leftist using the R-word

@DerekPederson3 I think you’re probably right for what it’s worth. The distances involved are just so beyond human comprehension that most people can’t deal with them.
English
Most of the responses I am getting are ambiguous historical analogies and criticisms of me for not “dreaming big” rather than attempts to answer the very serious questions about why this may just not be possible.

Science fiction nerds are gonna hate me for saying this but the Great Filter is that interstellar travel is probably more or less impossible and there is no reason to come up with any other explanation for that.
English
@Mr_BenPrime @Majyckle How can that be true? Entropy still exists, machines break down over time.
English
"Interstellar travel is impossible."
No. What you actually mean is it takes too long for a human lifespan. That's all. That has no bearing on the feasibility of getting assets/payload to another star system which imo is an entirely different conversation and entirely possible.

theres been a lot of “discourse” about the “cultural and political meaning” of Apocalypto when we should be remembering it for scenes like this

Reading Carl Sagan’s “The Demon-Haunted World” for the first time. I wish everyone would read it.
English
@DerekPederson3 Imagine if we could exploit all the resources of parallel Earths instead of having to travel light years across space.
English
@DerekPederson3 Maybe it’s easier to travel to alternate realities than across the galaxy and that’s what advanced civilizations opt to do instead.

What are your first thoughts when you see this photo of Trump taken earlier today?

Quentin Tarantino says this shot in Dunkirk is the greatest shot ever filmed in a war movie.

“That’s funny, I’ve never heard of a George Glass at our sküle” is the greatest line delivery of all time.

Christine Taylor as Marcia Brady is one of the greatest onscreen performances.

@charlesmurray Comedy comes from neuroticism and outsider status. Guess who has historically had loads of both.

The ridiculous complaints about the Jewishness of Seinfeld led me to think about the ethnicity of the funniest comedians, so I pulled up some all-time-best lists on the web. Overwhelmingly Jewish or black. Occasionally we white gentiles manage to produce a Steve Martin or Robin Williams, but they're roughly comparable to the proportion of Jewish NBA starters.

@IfindRetards Fuck you. You all cheered and laughed when Pelosi’s husband was nearly beaten to death. You have ZERO moral ground to stand on.
