The usual people get to the top and they're the ones who make it suck. They use their positions to promote their nihilism, to try and make sure you don't care, because livestock without aspirations are easier to keep in the herd. -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Wednesday, 25-Sep-2024 07:29:07 JST Anime Wong @ThatWouldBeTelling @DW2 I'm aware of all that, but like I was trying to say, at the moment the US government is having an ongoing fight with Elon (for about a year now) where they've been using delaying tactics to hurt his business. They are currently stalling a test flight of a bigger rocket "because they need to do another environmental test" while literally admitting they are only doing it to punish him for skirting around previous FAA delay tactics.
In theory they could just go with SpaceX for everything since they've been fairly reliable and are based in the US, but they are not, and instead trying to prop up businesses like the ULA that barely have anything working. The US wants it's rockets, but it's not beyond being petty and deliberately shooting itself in the foot over it. And it will reward it's friends, and punish its enemies. -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Wednesday, 25-Sep-2024 03:12:09 JST Anime Wong Not to sound like a fag, but this story is not accurate. The two astronauts left by Boeing on the ISS did not return on the Soyuz (their names are Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams). They are still up there
The US is still paying the Russians to launch American astronauts to the ISS. This was part of a standard crew rotation.
The more funny thing is that NASA still doesn't have a reliable way to launch its own people into space (that's what they really wanted Boeing for, and they screwed up spectacularly), which is why they are still paying the Russians for launches. They could go all in on SpaceX, but the federal government is butthurt over Elon and is trying to ruin him (For example, the FAA keeps stalling on their applications to perform launches so that they miss launch windows, costing them money or forcing them to ignore the FAA and then lose money via criminal fees).

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 20-Sep-2024 05:35:34 JST Anime Wong In my quest of watching old shows before my time, I started Northern Exposure.
It's not good, don't watch it. But... it did reveal to me how frequently Jews would "dog whistle" to other Jews their hatred of Whites.
The main character is a doctor, and so obviously is a Jew from NYC (this is pretty much the foundation of the plot). In one episode, the whole town comes down with the flu, and all the stupid hick White people want to know where it came from, and why the doctor wont cure them.
There's a lot that can be talked about in this episode (such as the cure to the flu being an Indian remedy of literally rubbing shit all over you), but they city calls a town hall meeting to find a solution... to the flu...
In it, the doctor says the flu could have come from anywhere, even Russia, which causes everyone there to start speculating that it's a "communist plot", and then blame the doctor.
They effectively accuse him of being a Russian agent. And at one point, someone literally says "your family were probably Trotskyites, and they marched in solidarity for the Rosenburgs!"
Now in the 90's, do you think most of the Non-Jewish viewers would know what a Trotskyite is, or who the Rosenburgs were (if anything more than "a communist" and "spies")? Do you think they would have connected it to "anti-Jewish" sentiments or just go "oh, vaguely Russian stuff, they are saying he's a Russian or something". Meanwhile, the average Jewish viewer would have probably picked up on this right away as being some sort of anti-Jewish insult.
It makes me wonder how much of this happened older media that flew over the heads of a general audience. I know I've seen plenty of Jews shoehorning their ways into stories before, that's nothing new. But I've never seen a show intentionally try to stoke jew-vs-world hatred before in what was probably a very subtle way at the time. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Saturday, 14-Sep-2024 12:17:20 JST Anime Wong @graf Ebay lies with pictures. One of the LCD screens on my cameras went out, and I bought a new one to replace it. The one in the picture was oem, but the one I got was not, and while I wouldn't care otherwise, the shape of the ribbon cables on this one literally makes it impossible to reassemble. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 16-Aug-2024 05:26:43 JST Anime Wong @luithe @ColdOnesLite @Morghur Yes. There is another one like it in San Antonio Texas too, but it suffered a name change after WWII started. The one in Palm Beach is also prettier, imo. -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 16-Aug-2024 03:30:51 JST Anime Wong @Morghur @ColdOnesLite Yeah, something I learned about a few years ago which I found very interesting was that Southern Houston Texas was very Japanese. Houston is on the coast, so there is a lot of swampy land around there that can't be used for much. The city government realized it could be used for rice farming, but didn't have rice farmers to draw from, and so asked if the Japanese government would be willing to send people to do it.
In contrast to the Chinese immigration to California around the same time which prompted the exclusion act, the Japanese and Texans got along swimmingly (this is interesting to be primarily because people's assumptions is that this is backwards). In fact, there are parts of southern Houston that are still named after the Japanese who lived there, it's sort of a forgotten part of their history.
Anyway I think it was relatively peaceful because they were not stepping on each others toes. The Japanese were on otherwise useless land, and doing a job that no one locally could really do. If they left, almost nothing would change, and it didn't impact the people living there.
So I've taken this as a lesson about how to write two different groups living peacefully near each other - they can't compete much. -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 16-Aug-2024 03:30:51 JST Anime Wong @Morghur @ColdOnesLite Probably, racism isn't the right word here. Or maybe it is, but... idk. The way I see things, racism only comes about when different cultures living in close proximity compete over the same resources.
So that's something that should be applied in fantasy settings, scarcity of resources. Why would a human want to rent limited space of his hotel to a goblin??? Never mind their reputation of being evil, or unintelligent, or murdering everything without warning. A human settlement would prioritize humans over outsider races. -

...Why would you want a smaller bed? That's the best part about being small! -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 16-Aug-2024 00:29:01 JST Anime Wong @ColdOnesLite I think it's a woman thing. Women tend to over-empathize, which means they project themselves onto almost everything. As such they usually end up roleplaying themselves. -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Wednesday, 14-Aug-2024 05:30:52 JST Anime Wong @suquili @Rasterman Yeah, something I've noticed is how certain cultures will have memes they apparently subconsciously inject into almost every story. So Americans will usually write a story about a bunch of underdogs from different backgrounds working together to destroy a seemingly unstoppable evil empire. The Japanese try to rationalize why they lost WWII (usually with something like "there are no bad guys, just different sides") and have an atomic bomb metaphor somewhere. The British write stories about something fantastic mixed with mundane bureaucracy.
Jews always make the main character this really ugly guy who is oppressed by a bunch of unfair rules, the whole world is unfairly against him even though he never did anything wrong to anyone, and everything that does go right for him was because of "luck". In the end he wins because of some technicality. The plot usually pits him against some element of traditionalist culture, and there is almost always a not-so-subtle holocaust and/or anti-racism message.
For example: -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 13-Aug-2024 10:50:16 JST Anime Wong @suquili @RedpillBot It's literally just "do you guys have any proof that doesn't come from the USSR?" No documents, no impartial eyewitnesses, no physical evidence. Just "coded language", confessions from torture, and "this Jewish guy who claims to have killed 7 thousand Jew in a 40 seconds using imported South American honey ants". -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 12-Aug-2024 04:47:54 JST Anime Wong @WashedOutGundamPilot You see this in a lot of technical hobbies, which inevitably are composed mostly of older men. Things like 3d printers and the Chinese have totally obliterated a section of the economy they carved out. -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 12-Aug-2024 04:47:52 JST Anime Wong @HWABAG @WashedOutGundamPilot Yeah. I do astrophotography for a hobby, which I comment on here from time to time. Last month the last major telescope maker in the US folded. If you buy a telescope made in the US now it's a total boutique thing that you are probably either overpaying for (but you went on a wait list for several years to get it so it's fine). Everything else is either made in China, made in China, or made in China, or maybe even made in China.
Maybe it's not completely their fault, but they didn't even try to compete, and they were overcharging. Like, imaging charging 50+ dollars for a threaded part. Ridiculous.)
