Bro, Why?

The literally only impressive thing about SpaceX Starship test is that it shows how incredibly dumb the audience is at this point.

People keep comparing Starship to SaturnV, because tentatively, if it ever became a space worthy vessel and orbital delivery vehicle (it's not); it'd be the largest and most powerful one in history, with SaturnV its only near peer (sorry, N-1, you really didn't qualify).

And the first "integration test vehicle" (read: the actually whole complete thing, that's literally the point of that kind of test; it's meant to be all the pieces, already tested and proven on their own, finally assembled into the final thing to make sure everything plays nice when together)

So lets see how did Saturn family development go in comparison? How many "integration test vehicles" did the Saturn project obliterate in the process?

ZERO. They blew up ZERO Saturn first stages, ZERO Saturn second stages, and ZERO Saturn payloads.

It's not fucking normal to blow up rockets this size and complexity, because they're expensive and dangerous! You build SMALLER, SIMPLER prototypes, you test those, you do all the "risky" tests on your separate parts of the system, and test the integration at less ambitious scales and stress levels. That's how you do rocket science. Iteratively, yes! But the iterations must make sense!

And let me stress

They got Saturn to moon and back in the SIXTIES, when simulation was in diapers (partially, literally invented within projects like the Saturn series).

SpaceX exists at a time where they can (and should) do 90% of the raw, grueling development with lot of painful failures in digital simulations, or tests where you build a small, simple thing and enhance the simulation based on what you learned there.

And the worst of it all is that another thing that Elongated Muskrat has at this disposal is all of the Saturn research. It's been DONE.

Saturn and other projects paved the worst of this goddamn slog. They did all the dirty, awful work already. They literally gave us the textbooks that you study from if you actually get a science degree (Elon does not have one).

And again, the most embarrassing thing isn't Musk and his poor, toxic, overworked circus that's SpaceX. The most embarrassing thing is the "space science enthusiast" crowd that's cheering on this launch as some sort of tentative success.

The king is fucking ass goddamn naked, and you all yes-men are an embarrassment to this doomed goddamn species. You're not supporting the effort to give Humanity a "chance at survival", you're hooting and hollering around a basementman dumpster fire that's literally immolating what's left of the scraps of natural and human resources we have left.

Give megamind full marks you absolute ingrate.

Pukicho movie review, the movies I saw this past week for the first time:

Inglorious basterds: WOOOO BDDDDBBDDBDD!! FIRE KILL! SHOOT KILL <3 WOOOOOOO FIRE FIRE! NO SIR! KILL! 10/10

Falling down: Bang bang violence BANG kill!! <33 KILLL! COOL KILL!!!!  But the overacting and stereotypes? 7/10

Megamind: MEGA MIND! ALIEN BLUE GUY, BANG! KILL NERD! 7.5/10

Tumblr added a new feature where we could play multiplayer open world games with our mutuals, themed around different fandoms.

There is so much fear-mongering about sharia law, when the actual fear should be from oppressive government institutions using Sharia law as an excuse to justify their actions. These countries say they follow sharia law and if someone dissents, they are called an enemy of state and executed. And whenever you use sharia as a representative of oppression of women, you effectively shit on those who died to protest against the hypocrisy and let the corruption win. This is not a friendly reminder. Sharia law is to resolve disputes with equal rights given to both men and women. It is very easy to defend all women instead of just one group of them. Malaysia and Indonesia also use Sharia law. While those countries do have problems with women's rights, those problems are completely different from middle eastern countries (more similar to India then Saudi Arabia). You don't see them being denied the right to work, right to education, being forced to wear or remove their hijabs .etc.

already seeing a lot of *drops comparisons to muslim countries*/*uneducated quips about sharia law*/*general fear mongering, racism and islamophobia*

friendly reminder to express your anger about roe v wade without being a bigot

Fake subs by bang-tan. Pls make more like this bang-tan.

i dont know what this is but i just thought the world needed stripdancer jimin bootying his way out of jail 

do not repost (more fake subz here)

If someone called me a ten, I'd take it as the greatest insult ever. I'm an infinity. Everyone knows that.

If you clean the vacuum cleaner, you are the vacuum cleaner cleaner.

So, a vacuum cleaner cleaner makes the vacuum cleaner cleaner.

All of these are legends.

yes i used to watch "Art Attack"

I plan to draw Kamala Joshi in a Nauvari sari. I feel it would suit her and hope @cassandraclare can include this in her story or maybe @cassandrajp can also draw her in this attire. I was born and raised in Mumbai so I’m very excited at the prospect of my city being included in a series I love. The Nauvari ( Nine yards of fabric) is also referred to as the Kaashta or Lugade. It is a traditional sari of the state of Maharashtra and Mumbai is the state capital. Unlike other sarees, the Nauvari is built to mirror the traditional trousers that men wore and is made to be comfortable and easy to move in. It was also the staple of the Maratha clan of fighters, which was a clan that rivalled the Mughals in power and firmly established guerrila warfare training in their soldiers. 

Gold looks great on my skin. It's nice when paired with black. I'm Indian. I hv seen a lot of gold jewellery and it only looks good if the white is sparing (like diamonds) and rose gold is so pretty. Gold is good for darker settings as a nice contrast.

hot take: gold is ugly actually
