Putin in Russia (II): Spicy Island Liberation Front

[Lucavi]

I mean, if its russian-made, you know it'll be shit, so that's good

[Spicyryan]

I don't disagree, but in terms of "being able to go anywhere off world", having the ISS and the experiments that can be preformed on the ISS, such as growing food and studying radiation effects and all that shit, is vital. Want to build an orbiting moon base? ISS helps tremendously with that. Want to go to Europa? ISS helps tremendously with that. Want to learn nearly anything about how shit works in space without having to send up an entire huge module? ISS helps with that.

I'm not saying the ISS is perfect, or even completely cost effective, but there's been a LOT of time, money, and energy put into that thing and having some chucklefuck dictator decide "I am angy so no more space station" fucks over a TREMENDOUS amount of people, including people in the fucking Russia space program.

Scientists don't fucking care about your retarded land wars. They care about furthering our fucking species so we don't die if and when this one gets fucked.

Yeah, but i literally want none of those things. Not because it doesn't personally benefit me or anything. It wouldn't matter if we go to another planet for a repeat of this one. Until we get our shit together here then anything else beyond is a nerd's myopia.

I always find it funny how people think humanity would be magically different if we colonized other worlds.

The point of space travel is advancement of technology and continuance of the species, which means resources and places to live. Humans won't ever change these two things just because we go to Mars.

We need to change our shit first so that we don't just hit the reset button somewhere else.

[Lucavi]

Have to change the species, not the environment, but its just so human to think that the solutions are outside of one's self. Its a far easier pill to swallow to think "everything else is just the problem, not me!"

Arrogance at its finest, but it is what it is.

[Rhyis.]

Peeps just want to be space cowboys. All this other silliness yall are talking about is for the birds

Thanks for putting words in my mouth. That's not what I meant.

Establishing a foothold on another planet, or even better, a self sustaining colony, increases our odds of not being fucking surprise extinctioned by a rock we didn't see or some other crazy shit. You can want to go to other worlds AND also work on fixing this one at the same time. No one thinks going to another planet will be sunshine and unicorns. Stop being pedantic.

I feel for the woman but also WHY WERE YOU IN RUSSIA IN THE FIRST PLACE HOW DID YOU NOT NOTICE THIS SHIT GOING DOWN?

She was arrested like a month before Russia invaded Ukraine

Stop being defensive.

She was in Russia because women play in Russia's league during our off-season since WNBA players get paid a lot less than NBA players.

LOL.

No amount of money is worth going there. Especially since she's gay.

Without getting into how sillily counterintuitive it is to suggest dividing planetary efforts to improve ones home instead of it being the singular focus. Would it really be so bad? If humanity went extinct this very moment, would it really be the worst thing?

Actually they pay really well. Up until the Ukrainian war, WNBA players were treated like celebrities.

U.S. estimates there has been 75k casualties, a mix of deaths and injuries, on the Russian side of the Ukrainian war.

[Rhyis.]

the ukrainian side is estimated to be at 28k civilians killed, and their forces are at: 10k killed, 30k wounded, 7k missing (5,600 captured).

so it's 150k killed/wounded/missing on all sides when you tally it all up, which is pretty fucked

[Zealot]

Russia continues to use the Zapp Branagan route to victory.

I didn't know Ukrainians had a pre-set kill limit.

Seems like a bad idea going to earn money in a country that notoriously violates human rights.

How long was Russia prepping soldiers on the boarder and how long was Biden saying "Look, this motherfucker is gonna attack". She had warning.
