@green @Leucrotta Hah! Same, I had a cassette off a CD compilation that I listened endlessly. I know most of the words to most of the songs there. :-)

@Oneironott Mmm, I'm glad your feeling inside reflects your external apearance. :-)

@green @Leucrotta (Relatedly, back in college when my video class assigned a project involving interacting with a double of yourself on-screen, I chose to have the Argument Sketch. With myself. :-)

@green @Leucrotta "Ow! Stop hitting me!"
"Well why'd you come in here then? This is Being Hit On The Head lessons."
"What a stupid concept."

@memnus@octodon.social Familiar equipment, here. :-)

@mawr That's fair to wish for, yeah. *hugs*

@mawr

Sure? But then it's basically NASA with no budget again, and slightly better tech.

Or am I missing some definition of 'nationalize'?

@IrisKalmia

That's fair. Not sure what else to say on that regard.

@IrisKalmia
*nodnods* I can't really help you there. You could draw the line anywhere and still lead back to Musk and being angry at Musk. Mentions of Tesla cars? Mentions of Falcon Heavy, or SpaceX in general? I don't know.

I don't think he should be idolized either--even if I do appreciate what he's doing for space travel that NASA hasn't had the budget for in decades. That's a sad state of affairs, all 'round.

@IrisKalmia

....yes and no?
There's a range of opinions on the person and the things that he does, but it's not especially nice to drag /any/ discussion of anything related over into your specific opinion of one part of the issue.

Some can, in fact, respect the accomplishments of a person without actually liking said person overall. It's not a contradiction.

This is not an endorsement or condemnation of Musk by any means. Just a distaste for that conversation tactic.

@literorrery @KawaSeadrake That's something I still strive towards, someday. Even if all I have right now are fragments.

@KawaSeadrake

I don't know. I cope by blocking myself off of the world as much as I can. I don't look that far ahead--I've been on personal-survival-mode for too long, which means, honestly, planning for the future is a foreign skill.

I take what hope I can in those around me and those I love, to band together regardless of what affects us in the greater world.

I only really have a vague hope that the swing toward the better will continue, despite the reverse currently.
