I am sure you can do nothing wrong, but there is such a thing as being respectful of others experiences.

Oh I did.

Is this really an acceptable comment in this community?

Ugh… I fear for the future of my sex. Sometimes, I want to slap some basic respect into other guys. Nothing fancy or philosophical, just “don’t be a dick, leave other human beings in peace” kind of common sense. Yet it feels like a losing battle.

The problem isn’t restricted to one sex/gender. I may have commented below, with what I can confidently say is a politically unpopular opinion, but the discussion quickly degenerated into claims that I was ‘mansplaining’ and being told to ‘fuck off’ and shut up.

I’m sorry that my (historic) experience of the community doesn’t align with what you need to believe.

So what you’re saying is that you’re not a troll?

You’re doing a brilliant job of selling the community.

Also, have you ever heard of the idea of subjectivity? That there may be no objective truth and that people can see and interpret the same acts in different ways?

Just a thought.

I blocked the sub, don’t worry.

Well, I haven’t looked at it for a while.

tbf that sub’s rules are a joke.

1 Women only

3 Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.

But the sub does a hell of a lot of man bashing behind the ridiculous fig leaf of ‘not all men’.

I block it.

I hope it’s Pho-king good.

It’s called hedging your bets.

Sure he may be dead, but he is now fabulously wealthy. Bad thing made less bad by a good thing.

Pound of flesh?

If you think you can cope with never being 100% sure if it’s real or not, be my guest.

That reminds me about Vladimir_Komarov on Soyuz_1.

He went up there knowing he was likely going to die because of the build problems with the early Soyuz capsules.

The module crashed into the ground at terminal velocity, killing Komarov, at 6.24 a.m. … Soyuz 1 engineers reported 203 design faults to party leaders, but their concerns “were overruled by political pressures for a series of space feats to mark the anniversary of Lenin’s birthday”.

This was because they had rockets that fired precipitously close to the ground which cushioned the landing to something like 20 mph IIRC. If those rockets failed for any reason there would be a very big splat.

At an altitude of eight meters, the “Posadka” (landing) signal lights up on the cosmonauts’ console and at an altitude between 1.1 and 0.8 meters from Earth, the Kaktus altimeter issues a command for the firing of the braking solid motors, DMP. The spectacular firing takes place around 0.7 meters above the surface, reducing the descent speed of the capsule to between 0 and 3 meters per second. A speed of 2 or 1.5 meters per second is considered average at the touchdown point. The structural loads on the capsule at the moment of DMP firing was quoted as 0.1 kilograms. These loads were reported to be the main reason for ruling out the reuse of the Descent Module.

In case of landing under a spare parachute, the descent speed could reach as high as 9.5 or even 10.5 meters per second, but it is still considered to be survivable by the crew.

Some additional cushioning at touchdown is provided by individual crew seats, known as Kazbek (Kazbek-UM on Soyuz TMA) equipped with custom-fitted liners for each crew member. As a last resort, the bottom of the capsule also designed to absorb the shock of a particularly bad impact. https://russianspaceweb.com/soyuz-landing.html

You’re telling me an AI is going to run Windows 11?

I think you’ve got a very weak argument for it. It seems sensible to me that elective procedures should have clear benefits to outweigh the corresponding risks of performing it; there are always risks with performing medical procedures.

And w.r.t. you comment on no chopping — it’s a piece of skin that is attached to a human body, it doesn’t just fall off by itself. You do have to cut it. Choppy choppy.

It has no discernible impact either of our lives,

Then why would you chop it off?
