Big Bang Theory is a terrible show.

It's not because of "nerd blackface." Fuck you :reddit-logo: for making that the presumed reason for anyone to dislike that show.

It's a misogynistic, cryptoracist, ignorantly ableist (setting back public understanding of autism by years) and lowkey homophobic unfunny mess that is written like the script was printed on plastic sheets made from melted down Funko Pops. Also, the :my-hero: worship is insufferable.

    I think the comrade is making this point based off of SpaceX and capitalism. Ofc in AES, we might one day pursue space exploration. As it happens now, it's a siphon on resources we need for a laundry list a mile long of things people need to survive. Yes, Starlink could be a good concept under a world socialist project, but my guess is that many here reject space work because its current incarnation is competing billionaires spending further billions on rockets

        I will admit you definitely have a different perspective than me. I respect what workers are doing, but I'll never praise the corporation, even if they're breaking new ground. None of the history changes the position of space exploration vis a vis other issues, even if one accepts that SpaceX is a marked improvement over NASA/DOD
