They did? They can’t? I haven’t noticed. 🤷

You seem to be missing the point. I don’t know if you have children, and I’m not trying to fall back on the cliché that you “just wouldn’t understand,” but the broader discussion is irrelevant.

The situation is straightforward: he had no right to take that level of risk. There was a real possibility he could have died and left his children behind. That risk is excessive, regardless of the mission’s importance or exclusivity.

Maybe I will use the cliché after all, because as a parent, what my children might have wanted wouldn’t factor into the decision. I wouldn’t have gone.

Doofis. I am fully aware of what my country is doing. I don’t like it, I want it to stop. I didn’t vote for Trump or anyone in his party.

Rwandan Genocide — ~800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu killed Srebrenica Massacre — ~8,000 Bosniak men and boys killed Darfur Genocide — mass killings, displacement of millions Cambodian Genocide — ~1.7–2 million dead Uyghur Persecution — mass detention, forced labor, cultural suppression Syrian Civil War Atrocities — chemical attacks, civilian targeting Yazidi Genocide — killings, enslavement Tigray War Atrocities — mass killings, famine conditions Bosnian War Ethnic Cleansing — systematic expulsions and killings Second Congo War Atrocities — millions dead from violence and starvation.

Other atrocities occur in other countries. This is not uniquely an American problem; it is a human one.

The people of my country are not inherently bad. The politicians are, and so are many of the people who vote for them. Even then, those voters are often manipulated by the very politicians they support.

All you are doing is fixating on how flawed we are. That criticism is not entirely wrong, we are flawed. However, there are individuals within our government, and within the population at large, who actively resist and attempt to correct those failures.

Your position is not elevated, and your perspective is not as advanced as you believe. What you present is not insight, it is hostility, masked as moral superiority. It is pervasive, and I observe it frequently on Lemmy.

Your capacity for hatred is no more justified than the actions you condemn. It differs only in form, not in substance.

You can easily find this information in a low level Google search.

That isn’t the point.

It doesn’t matter how old his kids are he’s their only dad.

I’m not saying he’s a bad person. I’m saying he took a risk he had no right to take.

The minutia and context is irrelevant.

You do realize that multiple other genocides have happened since the American massacre of Native Americans?

There isn’t a single country on this planet that doesn’t have black smears all over its history.

And if a country’s history isn’t quite as bad as America’s, its people are just as shitty as they are everywhere else. Humans are terrible, vile, disgusting creatures that trample over everything they touch.

It’s easy to blame America, and as much as I truly dislike our government and our current president, I still love my country, its people, and living here.

Moreover, I couldn’t care less how much credibility I have in the comment section of a Lemmy post.

If you think you can stand on your laurels because you’re not American, once again, you can quietly go fuck yourself.

And the beautiful thing is, as an American, I get to say that to whoever the hell I want.

I couldn’t care less where the other devs are from or their ideological/political associations. All of that is entirely irrelevant.

What is relevant however is exactly what you didn’t want to talk about. For example, what country you’re from. Which tells me pretty much everything I need to know. Just put a sock in your mouth and shut up.

Also not taking the bullshit communist bait.

I was going to make a snide joke but the White House’s statement is wrong on so many levels. I can’t make lite of it.

They just don’t do this. They leave Americans behind it’s an objective fact that they do this.

And eggs are gluten free! 😃

On the surface, I agree with you. As a parent myself, I would never go to the moon on a test flight like this.

As an American, though, I’d like to take a moment to politely tell you to go fuck yourself.

Wait! Let me explain. You have very good English, which suggests you’re probably from a well-developed country where English is a primary language. The level of hostility in your tone makes it unlikely you’re from a developing country. And even if you were, that wouldn’t put you in a better position to criticize.

If you are from a well-developed country, that means you have your own problems, don’t you?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

If you don’t like America, then get off Lemmy. Because guess what? Lemmy was largely developed by an American. Yes, I know it involved collaboration with developers from other countries, but the primary origin is still American.

Ya… That’s why he’s a bad parent.

I get it and I’m all for this mission.

But if I was a single dad I would never risk my life by going to the moon on a test flight.

Hey… At least America is upfront about how they’re going to commit mass genocide… Unlike other (🇮🇱) country’s!

Yeah but what about the wars???

How are we supposed to fund them if we’re doing stuff that’s good for all of mankind?!?!

Conservative don’t go to platforms that have these kinds of stories.

It’s an echo chamber remember?

Evolutionarily hair growth on legs isn’t a deleterious trait. 🤷

I consider this man to be the worst individual in all of human history. Maybe the single worst human to ever live on the face of the planet.

What makes him this bad? He knew. He knew what leaded gasoline was doing and what freon would do and he did it anyway to help cooperations make a little more money.

There are some pretty bad people under the post. But this guy… Man.

I think the better question and the one that would get more yes or no answers is do you have any screens in your bedroom? Not necessarily televisions.

I think significantly more people watch their phones in bed than they do large TVs.

Its funny. They won’t go so far as straight up slavery because the 1750s didn’t have cars or some shit. But 1950… We can go without Internet… We don’t know how to use it anyway.

You sound like a flat-earther insisting you know the truth when the evidence clearly contradicts you.

I don’t need to prove anything to you, I can rely on verifiable facts.

The Linux kernel used in Android has been significantly modified to meet Google’s requirements.

Android does not behave or function like a conventional Linux distribution.

Android is fundamentally different from other operating systems, aside from portions of the kernel that remain unchanged.

Android is “Linux” only at the kernel level, which is insufficient to classify it as Linux in any meaningful, user-facing sense.

What a subset of developers choose to call Linux is irrelevant here, this is a straightforward equivocation fallacy.
