Elon actually hands these out to people who don't want them because they were unpopular and an easy means of telling chuds apart from... uh, chads? There's a good chance hers is a forced advertisement and not something she's actually paying for.
I don’t think people on here realise that we are in an echo chamber ourselves and often times not very forgiving of people with differing opinions, where I would assume we should want to bring people to our point of view by being accepting and trying to educate on our beliefs.
So in this echo chamber of what 50K MAUs it can sometimes be hard to keep sight of the fact we are the smallest of minorities in this space and what we see is absolutely not a representation of what most people in the world care about.
I’ve never used Twitter but I’m not going to shit on other people for using it.
Were you on Reddit when they had loads of jailbait subs? Would you like to labelled as part of that same group just because you shared the same space?
Does it not seem reasonable that some people might use Twitter as a means to keep in the loop and not isolate from the crazies, Nazis, bigots or whatever. You can’t converse with the other side if you ain’t where they are at and if we all stay in our own echo chambers what are we really achieving other than a self-righteous circle jerk?
To be abundantly clear I am including myself in this too and not just calling you out. But this place is exhausting at times, I am the most cynical person I know and this place really gives me a run for my money at times. Even in the less serious stuff, like you can’t oppose Linux here you’ll be downvoted to shit for even having a different opinion. You have to use FOSS everything, and you should even be eating open source food 😂
Not just Linux, but you obviously have to use the correct distro of it, which obviously is...

That said, X is legit an Alt-Right Nazi bar. Even as we here are an Alt-Left one. I suppose it simply comes with the territory.:-|
That’s your prerogative, but I wonder if you see the danger of all people online splitting into their own groups?
The way I see it is you have a place just filled with say Nazis then they’re never going to learn or understand different perspectives and they’re going to become more radical.
This reads like you making the assumption that people are born Nazis and it’s not a learned behaviour.
Some people can hold their beliefs because of the environment they grew up in and many can actually change if people actually cared about educating people and not just feeling superior.
I want to stress this is only my opinion and I respect that you have yours too.
Both sides? Good grief. Not everything has to be a you vs them. And of course there is a higher number on Twitter. They have, what, 300 million active users? And Lemmy is probably .001% of that.
That’s like saying “everyone has a hobby” when you witness someone picking fights in public. Some hobbies and spaces are objectively worse than others.
Not quite but I can see why people think so. Both words stem from the same Kanji pair: 腹切. Abdomen cut.
But one is read natively (harakiri) with an informal and colloquial feel to it and the other uses borrowed Chinese readings (seppuku) that makes it sound more formal/ritualistic to be used in formal settings. But they mean the same thing and both refer to the ritual.
A similar example is Japan's own name: 日本. It's usually read as "nihon" but has a special, formal reading of "nippon".
I named one of our dumber work projects 'project seppeku' once. Boss was not amused when someone told him what it meant, but it went undiscovered for longer than I would have imagined, which simultaneosly made me happy and hurt my feelings.
Harakiri and Seppuku both literally mean abdomen/stomach cutting. Those who know some Japanese may recognize hara from the common phrase hara hetta which means you are hungry (literally, your stomach is decreasing in size or diminishing). Kiri means cut.
腹: hara 切: kiri
Seppuku simply reverses those kanji: 切腹
Why are they pronounced differently? Harakiri is a native Japanese word, using more traditional Japanese pronunciation Seppuku is a borrowing of middle Chinese roots: setsu from Middle Chinese tset meaning to cut, and fuku from Middle Chinese pjuwk, related to modern Mandarin fūk, referring to your abdomen.
So, setsufuku was shortened to seppuku where the Ps represent a stop and skipping of part of the word.
Other way around. Seppuku is the whole ritual, which includes the helper. But if you just gut yourself out in the woods with no ceremony, it's harikiri
I want Brad so emotionally scarred that every time he goes to tweet some bullshit he has a depression inducing anxiety attack so overwhelming that he has to find the nearest corner to go cry in until exhaustion.
Whoa, whoa. How dare this uppity woman talk like that to Dr. Bradley D. D. Wentworth, PhD., an internationally renowned expert on footballogy and beeristics?
His accolades include frequent beating of his wife, a penchant for racial slurs, and living in a trailer down by the river.
You talking about Graeme Barrett? If so, I'm glad that dude is finally getting some recognition. He's hilarious and was way underrated on the Tube for a long time.
Don't take it this way. To my knowledge there is no other community name !confidently_incorrect outside the one from .world and I don't want to moderate one community just so I can crosspost once every 4 months. If you or any other lemmings is willing to do the moderation part, I'm fine with crossposting there.
Space, Elon Musk is telling me I can get a great deal on being what he calls an “interplanetary servant” and that my sacrifice will be significant for humans in space! He’s so smart, he surely has all our best interests in mind. Anyway, off I go into the shower!
Don't take this the wrong way but from the list of achievements she sounds very much a Politician/PR-person/Lobbyist specialized in the area of Space Exploration, not an Engineer or a Scientist.
Still beats Beer-belly Brad by a long distance (probably not hard), but is such a person really worth celebrating in Science Memes?
Here's the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it's worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn't understand the magnitude of what he's asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.
Just because she isn't a straight engineer or scientist, doesn't make her expertise less worth it I don't think. And I would think that would make a very narrow acceptable requirements for this place.
It makes her an expert in advocacy and politics, not science or engineering.
Obviously advocacy expertise is no less worth than engineering expertise or science expertise, just like arts expertise is no less worth than any of that and ditto for plenty of other kinds of expertise in complex areas.
However, the "salesmanship" kinds of expertise are already the some of most widely celebrated and rewarded by present day society, hence my point.
So you're saying that science _memes should only accept memes from active practicing scientists and engineers with degrees in their own specified fields?
You might want to re-read my posts a couple of time and think about it a bit harder, if the conclusion you derived from what I wrote is that I want to gatekeep the posters.
No need to be rude. Here, since I'm so simple minded and dumb I'll try to convey as best as I can to one such as yourself. You're saying she's an expert in advocacy (how does one become an expert in that?) and politics.. or maybe showmanship?, it doesn't make her an expert in space programs. We should celebrate those people less, and feature actual scientists and engineers more.
What I'm saying is that would be a narrow band if we just include people who's job titles are scientists and engineers, because we are assuming other people in similar expertise fields would not know the original tweets context. If that is off base, my deepest apologies.

Alexandra Doten is a science communicator and astronomy content creator who rose to fame on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic. Doten, a Vanderbilt graduate, interned at NASA for two summers and worked as a communications specialist after graduation. She later transitioned to the U.S. Space Force. Doten is known for her storytelling, which she says has inspired people to pursue careers in astronomy and space, and to invest in astrophotography equipment.
Not to give credit to Twitter verified assholes, but comms specialist is not a specific astronomy or aerospace field.
A former space communications specialist with NASA and later, the U.S. Space Force, today, I am an independent consultant to space organizations around the world. I write and develop brand strategies, educational presentations, speeches, and social media content.
And I harbor some pretty strong opinions about NASA's public and internal administration for the past 30 years.
Two preventable shuttle disasters and a hacksaw outsourced attempt to return to the moon are not what I would consider quality projects. Modern NASA is the epitome of wasted talent.
You see ladies, mansplaining is a portmanteau of the words man, and explaining. Meaning a man explaining something... Actually let me back up. A portmanteau is a blending of two words in both sound and meaning.
oh shit i didnt know that, I love her content just thought she only worked at NASA in the dmv area. Used to run into her videos on insta - she REALLY loves space.
When those two astronauts were stuck in space(also fuck boeing), she provided some insides about their procedures and plans of return.
This verbal smack down could have been avoided had he read probably anything about her from online and didn't only know her because she dated a Foosball player.
why? then he wouldn't've been humbled in such a satisfying, heart-warming way. clearly, he hasn't experience that nearly enough. not to mention the sheer audacity and what is very likely to be misogyny.
exactly, she wasn't saying she was a researcher, she was stating she wasn't an arm chair quarterback... Going with the sports analogy she's far closer to a manager or a coach... not a dude on the couch with just the perspective of what's shown on TV.
Her first point stands wrt SpaceX. Turning this into a discussion about her experience on the topic makes her point even more valid. Last time I checked people didn't need to be a nobel laurate in a field to make a valid point.
Ew
Elon actually hands these out to people who don't want them because they were unpopular and an easy means of telling chuds apart from... uh, chads? There's a good chance hers is a forced advertisement and not something she's actually paying for.

So are an insanely large amount of people.

Aww I wanted to hear your Linux opinions
It was going to be Arch.

If Spez had given a Nazi salute and taken over the US government, I would have left.
That’s your prerogative, but I wonder if you see the danger of all people online splitting into their own groups?
The way I see it is you have a place just filled with say Nazis then they’re never going to learn or understand different perspectives and they’re going to become more radical.
So we have lemmy.ml. they don't seem to learn
But how do you know that some people haven’t changed their views from coming up against counter arguments?
This reads like you making the assumption that people are born Nazis and it’s not a learned behaviour.
Some people can hold their beliefs because of the environment they grew up in and many can actually change if people actually cared about educating people and not just feeling superior.
I want to stress this is only my opinion and I respect that you have yours too.
Twitter is just shit though. Why are you even trying to defend it? Same as Facebook, I can't see shit there without an account.
I’m not trying to defend, I was reasoning why people would still use it and trying to start a discussion.
Why did you focus on that aspect of my quite long comment and not try to engage with any of the points I made?
i had a frikkin point and now i've been sidetracked and seriously? twitter???
sorry i came back but wtf
?
Actually, there are only a few hundred people on Twitter. The rest are bots.
And you're on Lemmy. Most people have their echo chamber of choice.
That's a really bad argument given one of those chambers is literally run by, and full of, nazis.
I mean this one is run mostly by people who agree with what is being said in the echo chamber too.
Though the architecture of the Fediverse does make it impossible for it to become as bad as the commercial ones.
Plenty of fascists on Lemmy. They're just not well known billionaires.
No, both sides are not the same. There is a way higher percentage on Twitter and it's centrally controlled by one.
Both sides? Good grief. Not everything has to be a you vs them. And of course there is a higher number on Twitter. They have, what, 300 million active users? And Lemmy is probably .001% of that.
Luckily it's federated.
That’s like saying “everyone has a hobby” when you witness someone picking fights in public. Some hobbies and spaces are objectively worse than others.
Tbf the Forbes 30 Under 30 is a great predictor of future jail time.
Yeah the rest is fine, but bragging about being featured in a magazine is kinda cringe.
I mean, I feel you, but it is a pretty big deal to the general public. It's okay to be proud of being recognized.
Has somebody mapped that one out?
There are a bunch of blog posts on it if you search "30 under 30 jail". I would link to one, but I didn't like the first few I saw.
How dare you. Media Luminary Griffin McElroy is a saint!
Get the fuck off of xitter... it harms your credibility.
Dude should just delete his account in a form of internet Harakiri at that point.
Isn't it seppuku?
One is part of the other
How so?
One is the actual disembowelment one is the ritual IIRC
Yes I guess harakiri is the act of disemboweling yourself and seppuku is the ceremony surrounding it.
Not quite but I can see why people think so. Both words stem from the same Kanji pair: 腹切. Abdomen cut.
But one is read natively (harakiri) with an informal and colloquial feel to it and the other uses borrowed Chinese readings (seppuku) that makes it sound more formal/ritualistic to be used in formal settings. But they mean the same thing and both refer to the ritual.
A similar example is Japan's own name: 日本. It's usually read as "nihon" but has a special, formal reading of "nippon".
I just want a tantō that moans as I commit seppuku.
I named one of our dumber work projects 'project seppeku' once. Boss was not amused when someone told him what it meant, but it went undiscovered for longer than I would have imagined, which simultaneosly made me happy and hurt my feelings.
Harikari = seppuku. They're even written with the same kanji characters.
Oh, and harikari usually has a helper.
To really put this to rest:
Harakiri and Seppuku both literally mean abdomen/stomach cutting. Those who know some Japanese may recognize hara from the common phrase hara hetta which means you are hungry (literally, your stomach is decreasing in size or diminishing). Kiri means cut.
腹: hara 切: kiri

Other way around. Seppuku is the whole ritual, which includes the helper. But if you just gut yourself out in the woods with no ceremony, it's harikiri
eh, only if it comes from the harikiri region of france tho.
otherwise it's just sparkling disembowelment.

No... Let 'em burn.
I want Brad so emotionally scarred that every time he goes to tweet some bullshit he has a depression inducing anxiety attack so overwhelming that he has to find the nearest corner to go cry in until exhaustion.
But has she considered that she's just a woman? /s
She’s dressed too sexily/not sexily enough to be a science educator. /s
Nice Tits, Brad.
I think the D.D. stands for Double Ds.

Come on man, I'm going to start exercising again any day now, I swear!
"What have you done that's so great other than be an arm chair Monday morning quarterback?", asked the arm chair Monday morning quarterback
Arm chair Monday morning quarterback is giving him way too much. Arm chair Monday morning waterboy is more like it.

Beeristics sounds like an awesome field, too bad Brad is in it.
I was thinking some kind of beer calisthenics but then realised that the Brad bod wouldn't support that
What does D.D. stand for? Designated dumbass?
Edit: Doctor dickhead?
Double dumbfuck
Doctor of Divinity - in most places a bogus degree given to ministers or bought online.
Divorced dad
That my game bro!!! I love that shit.
If y’all don’t know what it is, look up the dude who makes divorced dads on YouTube.
I love that guy.

Ah just some blue check degenerates having a slap fight in the Nazi bar. Yawn.
I'm hesitant. Should I crosspost on [email protected] or [email protected]?
Federate them all!
YES !! For the glory of the fediverse !
¿Por qué no los dos?
No hay razón.
Exactamente
Skip .world, it’s too centralized and Reddit-y
Open and moderate one somewhere else and I would.
You’re right. There are zero other instances already. Neat how you posted through magic ether.

If you or any other lemmings is willing to do the moderation part, I'm fine with crossposting there.
All. Day.
Between the post and some of the comments, I'm pretty sure we're on the worst time.
At least, the worst surviving timeline. I'm sure plenty of "worse" timelines have existed that killed off the entirety of the planet.
This is just the worst of what's left.
The one where we all die is the good timeline, we are going for the torture nexus timeline.
Fair point.
Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can't you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?
Bro, you can buy the presidency of the United States if you have enough money. So yeah, not what she did, but it is completely posible.
isn't a Forbes list the kind of list that buying your way into it proves you belong there?
I think so. My sister has been contacted by Forbes that she can pay for a spot on the list. There was a cheaper option for just the nomination.
I actually know her from titkok YouTube and Instagram, she does know stuff from space! She is great to watch
From what now?
Titkok, it's some social media from China 🇹🇼
FIFY
Space, Elon Musk is telling me I can get a great deal on being what he calls an “interplanetary servant” and that my sacrifice will be significant for humans in space! He’s so smart, he surely has all our best interests in mind. Anyway, off I go into the shower!

Certainly more than "arm chair Monday morning quarter backing"
As long as these types pay attention to what the scientists tell them and explain it to others accurately, they're helpful
Every time I hear the name Brad, I think of Brad Majors from the Rocky Horry Picture Show.
"Hi, I'm Brad Majors!"
"Asshole"
It's the only way to be sure.
Bro, put those man tits under a Tshirt cause that looks like a serious burn
Man... I don't envy the person who has to clean up that man-shaped puddle after he just up and melted.
"man"
yes? a common exclamation of frustration. your point?
I think they were referring to "man shaped puddle", when the picture is more of a puddle shaped puddle.

Wait a minute ... "Forbes 30 under 30 " ?? hmmm
Can't be long before she's arrested for fraud.
Her yt channel is amazing!
Silence, blue check.
Those Forbes lists like 30 under 30 are a joke though. Not sure why she’s bragging about that.
ngl 30 under 30 would feel way more impressive to me if i was on the list too
if I were on there I would probably brag about it to some dumbass online too
Yeah really. I read that as "got featured in the magazine known for doing cover shoots of frauds." Weird flex.
Coming from someone who's never been on the 30 under 30
Holy shit, a lot of weirdos mad in the comments.
Eh, people don’t like twitter. That’s not weird.
Now you know I was referring to the comments calling her a "space influencer" lol
Space Force, huh So is anyone gonna tell her 😂
Should've just said, Google my name or something.
why? then he wouldn't've been humbled in such a satisfying, heart-warming way. clearly, he hasn't experience that nearly enough. not to mention the sheer audacity and what is very likely to be misogyny.
It's definitely misogyny. The incredulous attitude at the competence of a woman in a male-dominated field is textbook.
@fossilesque *from interstellar medium/galactic center
Eh both responses were cringe. She should have ignored him tbh
Are any of the things she listed actually "doing science" though? Writing policy is more politics.
Well he did ask 'what have you done that's so great'
exactly, she wasn't saying she was a researcher, she was stating she wasn't an arm chair quarterback... Going with the sports analogy she's far closer to a manager or a coach... not a dude on the couch with just the perspective of what's shown on TV.
That "worked for" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, she's a tiktok influencer lol
hey, let me join in too!
hahahahahaha
Feck, drink, girls! Sorry, late to the party, am I wearing the right clothes?
I was here when the mods silenced the masses
Her first point stands wrt SpaceX. Turning this into a discussion about her experience on the topic makes her point even more valid. Last time I checked people didn't need to be a nobel laurate in a field to make a valid point.
Yes, but she still probably knows what she is talking about
