The Boys already did this gag a week ago. Get new material Danielle.

Not all statements by the pope are regarded as infallible by Catholics. In fact, invoking infallibility is very rare. However Leo's statements on the Iran War are very clearly in line with Catholic doctrine.
I was wondering why there was parking on mars.
I agree.
Another way that I like to describe this is that almost nothing could make the earth less hospitable than the moon or mars already are. Asteroid strike? Mars' thin atmosphere is even more vulnerable. Climate change? The moon swings between -170C and 119 C each month. Nuclear war? Try living under constant cosmic radiation in a pressurized habitat that could be completely destroyed by a few small conventional explosives instead of a nuclear bomb.
If we had the ability to make a self sustaining colony on mars we'd be able to restore earth's biosphere or make self sustaining arcologies or bunkers.
The Artemis 2 flyby of the moon was really cool. But the photos of the moon really reminded me how absurd it is that a dozen obscenely wealthy bastards are pushing us to live and work in a deadly airless ugly desert instead of preserving the miraculous little oasis in space that we already have.
First there's capex, then there's the ongoing cost of fuel, then there's the ongoing cost of lobbying to get politicians to waste lives and money on oil wars.
That's why it's in the negative positive quadrant. Low desire to die, high risk of dying (at least in my city)
Yes this was the point of the meme. I feel like dying in an airplane, but it is very unlikely that anything fatal will happen. I also feel like dying while driving through suburban traffic, and there the odds are much higher something could take me out.
I love biking! Hence the low desire to die. I feel so much better all day after biking.
I am also biking in Kansas City Missouri though where drivers will directly threaten to kill me.
This stemmed from me joking with a friend that it is unfortunate that flying is so safe because I always want to die when I'm on plane.
A little detail I liked was Tarima specifying something about destroying her father's auditory cortex. It answered the question of why a telepathic species would need sign language. In humans, even when we imagine voices or use an internal voice it goes through the auditory. So, it makes sense that a telepathic species might use it's auditory context to "hear" thoughts.
It's on his patreon and really worth it. ACAB but the mormon cops he runs into are especially weird bastards.
