Pretty sure I wasn't shitting on anybody but Elon. The workers at Spacex have done good work, but it's not some earth shattering change, it's just a progression of already existing technology. They didn't invent self-landing rockets, and at this point people can make self-landing R/C rockets with off-the-shelf hardware.
Coming up with a new thing vs refining a thing that already exists seems to be extremely distinct and easy to understand. Coming up with a completely new thing - landing a rocket on its tail - was done in the 90s. Refining that idea that was already come up with and then demonstrated as possible is just taking somebody else's idea and perfecting it.
I think it's very distinct and not persnickety at all.
This is characteristic of every single thing Elon is involved with. He does not invent ideas, he takes other people's ideas and then dumps truckloads of money into them while treating the people he pays like dogshit and pretending to be clever.
Check your reading comprehension is an unnecessary comment on someone's ability to read, rather than just engaging with the argument at hand. If you feel like someone didn't adequately address your point, you can say that without insulting their intelligence.
So check your comprehension of pig pooping on balls.
We disagree, instead of acknowledging that they went directly for the reddit-tier "check your reading comprehension", which is extremely hostile so they got the pigpoopballs. I also blocked them because I don't want reddit hostility on my communist website, so it's a nice zero conflict result where I will no longer need to interact with them and vice versa.
If getting ppb is too hostile for you, I dunno what to tell ya.
I get that I was a little hostile and probably would have chosen a slightly different phrase if I were writing that comment again, but we literally weren't disagreeing, I was just getting yelled past!
Don't shit on talented workers because they have to work for an asshole.

Literally all technology is a progression of already existing technology. I feel like you're being kind of persnickety.

This is needlessly hostile
