I'm bored and there's no one to talk to. Why are there no good IRC channels? HERE I AM A TORTURED GENIUS but nobody is on my level *hic* so my mind decays. I have to surround myself with stupid people who are beneath my intellect and having said that I now have to prove it. WHy are people so stupid and ignorant? Nobody knows what they are talking about. No research. No thinking. Vomiting out their insane "HOT TAKES." When wise men speak people should shut up and listen. I wanna talk about BIG ISSUES. BIG BRAIN STUFF. I want to talk to actual humans who can teach me things not plastic people.

the great thing about removing uncomfy posts is that what counts as uncomfy is entirely in the eye of the beholder, meaning you can just remove whatever you like and justify it after the fact based on how it made you feel inside. I think you should just add a rule that no discussion is allowed on sushigirl, only fun posting and image dumps.

>>23831because information is more available than ever before in history by such an astronomical degree that it's extremely easy to refute literally any of the reasons people give for hating gay people.
literally of the reasons it became uncool have now been debunked and nobody cares anymore, and it's more cool to be yourself while fighting against oppression.
in other words: gay people are cool now because the only people saying they arent are extremely uneducated, and uneducated people are not cool.
We also have access to more historical records than any group in history, which means we can see all the times people in power have lied about homosexuals, which makes homophobia part of "the man" which again, makes it extremely uncool, while also making homosexuality a way of sticking it to the man, which makes it cool.
If you wanna see less gay people then the answer is to stop talking about gay people. if you wanna see less gay people then you need to normalize being gay so hard that it becomes entirely inconsequential to be gay. normalize it until being gay is as insignificant as having freckles.

The Orion spacecraft successfully fired its main engine for 5 minutes and 50 seconds on Thursday, sending four astronauts on a free-return trajectory around the Moon. For NASA and the Artemis II crew members, this marked a point of no return for more than a week.
About three-quarters of the American population has not witnessed humans leaving low-Earth orbit in their lifetimes. The last time this occurred was 1972, with the final Apollo Moon mission.
The “translunar injection” burn of Orion’s main engine occurred about one day after the successful launch of the mission on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday. This burn was the last major firing of Orion’s main engine and sets the crew on a course to fly around the Moon on Monday, slingshot back toward Earth under lunar gravity, and splash down in the Pacific Ocean on Friday, April 10.
“Things are going really well right now,” said Lori Glaze, NASA’s senior official over exploration, during a news conference on Thursday evening. “I don’t think we could be more pleased.”
First day is filled with activity
The decision to leave Earth orbit followed a busy day onboard Orion during which the four-person crew—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—pushed the spacecraft’s life support and propulsion systems to ensure the vehicle was ready for a prolonged mission in deep space.
Orion’s life support functioned very well, said Howard Hu, NASA’s program manager for the Orion spacecraft. This included critical systems, such as the carbon dioxide “scrubbers” that remove the exhaled gas from the cabin’s atmosphere, as well as water systems. There was a minor kerfuffle with Orion’s toilet during the initial checkout when it was supposed to be “wetted” with water to prime the pump. Not enough water was introduced, so the pump was non-responsive. Once more water was added, it began functioning fine.
The most significant tests involved Orion’s propulsion system, during which Pilot Victor Glover flew the vehicle through a variety of maneuvers primarily using Orion’s 24 reaction control thrusters. During this “proximity ops demonstration” Glover flew to within a few dozen feet of the rocket’s upper stage, and then went through a prescribed series of tests, such as side-to-side maneuvers, up and down, pitch, roll, yaw, and more. Glover offered frequent narration during these maneuvers and, generally, said the vehicle handled better than expected.
Building confidence for Artemis III
Hu said the Orion team had confidence in the autonomous maneuvering capabilities of the vehicle, but that adding a human into the flight loop always introduces uncertainty. He praised Glover’s flying, saying, “Victor did exactly what he needed to do, and the spacecraft responded.”
All of the vehicle’s thrusters performed as intended during the multi-hour test, with no failures, Hu confirmed.
These tests are essential for NASA to have confidence in Orion’s handling for upcoming Artemis missions. NASA now plans to launch Orion on the Artemis III mission sometime next year, and during this flight it is intended to dock with one or both of the lunar landers under development by SpaceX and Blue Origin, respectively, in low-Earth orbit. This will necessitate precise maneuvering. For lunar landing missions, beginning with Artemis IV, Orion will dock with a lunar lander that brings the crew down to the surface of the Moon and then back to Orion, which returns the crew to Earth.
After its flurry of activities on the first day in flight, Orion’s schedule will settle down a little bit now as the crew speeds outbound toward the Moon. It will make a lunar flyby on Monday, where approximately 20 percent of the far side will be lit as the crew passes nearest to the lunar surface. For now, it’s enough that they are on their way.
