I agree with every word of that.

Another depressed Westerner. Do something with your life.

Most people who fall for empty conspiracy theories do so because the instant they believe the theory, they feel a rush of superiority over others. It's essentially an act of aggression, and this is confirmed by the anger they display. For the rest it's just a way to feel smart for their own inward satisfaction.

In your country, why the press is organized by the CPC Politburo Standing Committee? They never talk.🤣

Hadfield was on it. No surprise there.

But there's no such thing as the far left. Only a far-rightist would claim there is. What you think is the far left is the centre, and the Associated Press recognizes this fact. At least, that's how it looks to me out here at the Left Pole.😄

@wesleyyu1394 Don't be so dumb. It's simply praise for the outstanding Chris Hadfield. Delete your fool comment, please.

@wesleyyu1394 Fine, but how is anybody supposed to know that? This is the Internet, where no one can see your sly smirk indicating you're trying to be funny. Instead of "calm down" it should be "Sorry."

Wasn't he Cher's husband at one time?

This is contradicted by The New York Times in a story titled "Roger Waters Concert in Poland Called Off After Ukraine Views Prompt Anger." They say it was the Krakow venue which cancelled the appearance, indirectly also implying that the Polish promoter was involved. (Article searchable by title and not paywalled.) I think Waters' personal issues are to blame. War deprived him of his dad, so he thinks invasions should be unopposed to prevent deaths.

@defiant18 Those fires burned from ten a.m. to five in the afternoon with no water pressure in the neighbourhood for the sprinklers after the water main broke in the twin towers' collapse. Firefighters were powerless to extinguish them for the same reason. Those are unique circumstances which the building's design could not possibly have taken into account. Hours and hours of fire weaken structural steel. It can't melt the steel, but when beams get that hot under hundreds of thousands of tons of stress, they eventually give way. The fireproofing on the steel only protects it for two or three hours because sprinklers and firefighters showing up with a lot of water are expected to effectively address the fire within that time. And of course it collapsed rapidly. A building like that is an integrated whole. One collapsed floor crashes into another, ensuring that it too collapses, leading to a chain reaction. There's no reason for it to take longer than seconds. And the floors function in part as support for the outside frame of the building. So under the right calamitous conditions it's the same as a house of cards, going down hardly much slower than something falling through air.

@Rasupubegasu Imagine you are standing with a barbell weighing 250 lbs on your shoulders. You're fine because you're strong. Then one of your legs collapses due to someone striking it. Your other leg is still a fantastically great leg, but guess what happens to it a small fraction of a second later.

@MarkPhillips-xb5iw Flat earther mindset.

@CainNuke I recommend reading Thank God For The Atom Bomb, an essay by Paul Fussell. He makes a cogent case in favour of the bombs, arguing that they forestalled the deaths of millions of Japanese and hundreds of thousands of Americans. I'm no historian, but I have read in credible sources that American military and political leaders had the hope for a reduced death toll on both sides very much in mind as they moved towards the use of the bombs. But yes, especially on their own side: "Having found the bomb,” Truman said, “we have used it. ... We have used it to shorten the agony of young Americans.”
