[pithy quote about life]
but how do those rockets get built? through neurotransmitters no? sounds like they're capable of generating force to me

if anything of any size could be built then why haven't we already done so?

a rocket engine is also just a chemical reaction. why doesn't it count if it's in your brain?

bc no one has ever changed their mind based on something they read on social media
January 31, 2025 at 12:35 AM
but why call it out of it won't get through?? seems like a waste of energy
January 31, 2025 at 12:35 AM
do you think this is actually going to change someone's mind? it just comes across as moral superiority

helicopter even reported having visual contact right before the crash
January 30, 2025 at 11:58 PM
but what's the point of telling the truth in this manner if it won't ever get through to them?
January 30, 2025 at 11:10 PM
yeah but as I explained your reasoning didn't hold water for me. love being exaggerated into a physical force is only less realistic than gigantic spaceships if you don't believe love is real
January 30, 2025 at 10:01 PM
fair enough ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ just wanted to make sure haha

do you actually think posting this will make someone reconsider their choices or did you just want to feel morally superior? (and yes I'm aware of the irony of posting this comment)

car go vroom
January 28, 2025 at 8:57 PM
but impossible spaceships and wormholes are okay? why do you draw the line at love?
January 28, 2025 at 8:04 PM
you can't hold aerospace engineering but you can hold the results of it. my point was that even though abstract concepts aren't "real" they still have real impacts in the real world

and who says they have to strictly use the physics sense of the word? have you never heard of sociological forces?

gdp is still a pretty terrible measure of economic success
January 28, 2025 at 1:10 PM
yeah but so is aerospace engineering
January 28, 2025 at 4:34 AM
feels like dogs barking just to bark ya know
January 28, 2025 at 3:04 AM
this says more about you than the movie 😬
January 28, 2025 at 3:00 AM
tbf love is also a real thing that exists
January 28, 2025 at 2:58 AM
oh but giganto space ships are okay? strange thing to complain about
January 28, 2025 at 2:57 AM
are you heating it too much? I get that sometimes right at the edge of combustion

an individual usually needs a near-death experience before they can radically change, curious what that'll look like for our institutions
