nuked from orbit

Nice Tits, Brad.
- Come on man, I'm going to start exercising again any day now, I swear!
- I think the D.D. stands for Double Ds.

Between the post and some of the comments, I'm pretty sure we're on the worst time.
At least, the worst surviving timeline. I'm sure plenty of "worse" timelines have existed that killed off the entirety of the planet.
This is just the worst of what's left.
- The one where we all die is the good timeline, we are going for the torture nexus timeline.
  
  Fair point.

Whoa, whoa. How dare this uppity woman talk like that to Dr. Bradley D. D. Wentworth, PhD., an internationally renowned expert on footballogy and beeristics? His accolades include frequent beating of his wife, a penchant for racial slurs, and living in a trailer down by the river.
- Beeristics sounds like an awesome field, too bad Brad is in it.
  
  I was thinking some kind of beer calisthenics but then realised that the Brad bod wouldn't support that

Don't take this the wrong way but from the list of achievements she sounds very much a Politician/PR-person/Lobbyist specialized in the area of Space Exploration, not an Engineer or a Scientist.
Still beats Beer-belly Brad by a long distance (probably not hard), but is such a person really worth celebrating in Science Memes?
- As long as these types pay attention to what the scientists tell them and explain it to others accurately, they're helpful
- Here's the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it's worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn't understand the magnitude of what he's asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.
- Certainly more than "arm chair Monday morning quarter backing"
- Just because she isn't a straight engineer or scientist, doesn't make her expertise less worth it I don't think. And I would think that would make a very narrow acceptable requirements for this place.
  
  It makes her an expert in advocacy and politics, not science or engineering.
  Obviously advocacy expertise is no less worth than engineering expertise or science expertise, just like arts expertise is no less worth than any of that and ditto for plenty of other kinds of expertise in complex areas.
  However, the "salesmanship" kinds of expertise are already the some of most widely celebrated and rewarded by present day society, hence my point.

Tbf the Forbes 30 Under 30 is a great predictor of future jail time.
- Yeah the rest is fine, but bragging about being featured in a magazine is kinda cringe.
  
  I mean, I feel you, but it is a pretty big deal to the general public. It's okay to be proud of being recognized.
- How dare you. Media Luminary Griffin McElroy is a saint!
- Has somebody mapped that one out?
  
  There are a bunch of blog posts on it if you search "30 under 30 jail". I would link to one, but I didn't like the first few I saw.

blue check marks
Ew
- Elon actually hands these out to people who don't want them because they were unpopular and an easy means of telling chuds apart from... uh, chads? There's a good chance hers is a forced advertisement and not something she's actually paying for.
  
  Still means she's on Twitter.

Ah just some blue check degenerates having a slap fight in the Nazi bar. Yawn.

"What have you done that's so great other than be an arm chair Monday morning quarterback?", asked the arm chair Monday morning quarterback
- Arm chair Monday morning quarterback is giving him way too much. Arm chair Monday morning waterboy is more like it.

Get the fuck off of xitter... it harms your credibility.

This is why I’m not on twitter, she shouldn’t have to defend herself and explain herself to that degree. People can be so toxic that on a game like marvel rivals I was absolutely dog shit at because my chat and voice chat were always visible, once I muted everything, I am suddenly reaching Gold II in a couple days. Be where you are wanted instead of jumping into the snake pit where you know exactly the opinions and beliefs of those snakes, there’s nothing to gain, fascists are fascists, what more can they build on than opinion and beliefs?

But has she considered that she's just a woman? /s
- She's obviously too pretty to be smart /s
  
  She’s dressed too sexily/not sexily enough to be a science educator. /s

Dude should just delete his account in a form of internet Harakiri at that point.
- Isn't it seppuku?
  
  One is part of the other
  
  Sudoku
  
  Intesticide.
  
  gesundheit
- He will just tell her to make him a sandwich and the current Twitter audience will love him for that.

Man... I don't envy the person who has to clean up that man-shaped puddle after he just up and melted.
- "man"
  
  yes? a common exclamation of frustration. your point?

- No... Let 'em burn.
  I want Brad so emotionally scarred that every time he goes to tweet some bullshit he has a depression inducing anxiety attack so overwhelming that he has to find the nearest corner to go cry in until exhaustion.

Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can't you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?
- Bro, you can buy the presidency of the United States if you have enough money. So yeah, not what she did, but it is completely posible.
- isn't a Forbes list the kind of list that buying your way into it proves you belong there?
- I think so. My sister has been contacted by Forbes that she can pay for a spot on the list. There was a cheaper option for just the nomination.

Those Forbes lists like 30 under 30 are a joke though. Not sure why she’s bragging about that.
- ngl 30 under 30 would feel way more impressive to me if i was on the list too
- if I were on there I would probably brag about it to some dumbass online too
- Yeah really. I read that as "got featured in the magazine known for doing cover shoots of frauds." Weird flex.
- Coming from someone who's never been on the 30 under 30

Wait a minute ... "Forbes 30 under 30 " ?? hmmm
- Can't be long before she's arrested for fraud.

oh shit i didnt know that, I love her content just thought she only worked at NASA in the dmv area. Used to run into her videos on insta - she REALLY loves space.
When those two astronauts were stuck in space(also fuck boeing), she provided some insides about their procedures and plans of return.

I'm hesitant. Should I crosspost on !confidently_incorrect@lemmy.world or !murderedbywords@feddit.uk?
- Federate them all!
  
  YES !! For the glory of the fediverse !
- ¿Por qué no los dos?
  
  No hay razón.
- Skip .world, it’s too centralized and Reddit-y
  
  Open and moderate one somewhere else and I would.
- Yes
- All. Day.

At least Brad has nice moobs going for him.

What does D.D. stand for? Designated dumbass?
Edit: Doctor dickhead?
- Double dumbfuck
- Doctor of Divinity - in most places a bogus degree given to ministers or bought online.
- Divorced dad
  
  That my game bro!!! I love that shit.
  If y’all don’t know what it is, look up the dude who makes divorced dads on YouTube.
  I love that guy.
- Dumbass Dipshit
- Designated Douchebag
  Dumbass Dingeberry
  Disappointing Dipshit

But all females have been deleted from nasa
- I thought we were all female now, by law? :-P

Her yt channel is amazing!

Alexandra Doten is a science communicator and astronomy content creator who rose to fame on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic. Doten, a Vanderbilt graduate, interned at NASA for two summers and worked as a communications specialist after graduation. She later transitioned to the U.S. Space Force. Doten is known for her storytelling, which she says has inspired people to pursue careers in astronomy and space, and to invest in astrophotography equipment.
Not to give credit to Twitter verified assholes, but comms specialist is not a specific astronomy or aerospace field.
A former space communications specialist with NASA and later, the U.S. Space Force, today, I am an independent consultant to space organizations around the world. I write and develop brand strategies, educational presentations, speeches, and social media content.
And I harbor some pretty strong opinions about NASA's public and internal administration for the past 30 years.
Two preventable shuttle disasters and a hacksaw outsourced attempt to return to the moon are not what I would consider quality projects. Modern NASA is the epitome of wasted talent.

nuked from orbit
It's the only way to be sure.

This verbal smack down could have been avoided had he read probably anything about her from online and didn't only know her because she dated a Foosball player.

Every time I hear the name Brad, I think of Brad Majors from the Rocky Horry Picture Show.
"Hi, I'm Brad Majors!"
"Asshole"

I actually know her from titkok YouTube and Instagram, she does know stuff from space! She is great to watch
- From what now?
  
  Titkok, it's some social media from China 🇹🇼
  
  Space, Elon Musk is telling me I can get a great deal on being what he calls an “interplanetary servant” and that my sacrifice will be significant for humans in space! He’s so smart, he surely has all our best interests in mind. Anyway, off I go into the shower!
- ew

You see ladies, mansplaining is a portmanteau of the words man, and explaining. Meaning a man explaining something... Actually let me back up. A portmanteau is a blending of two words in both sound and meaning.
So mansplaining... /S

Bro, put those man tits under a Tshirt cause that looks like a serious burn

Space Force, huh So is anyone gonna tell her 😂

Holy shit, a lot of weirdos mad in the comments.
- Eh, people don’t like twitter. That’s not weird.
  
  Now you know I was referring to the comments calling her a "space influencer" lol

Silence, blue check.

Should've just said, Google my name or something.
- why? then he wouldn't've been humbled in such a satisfying, heart-warming way. clearly, he hasn't experience that nearly enough. not to mention the sheer audacity and what is very likely to be misogyny.
  
  It's definitely misogyny. The incredulous attitude at the competence of a woman in a male-dominated field is textbook.

Eh both responses were cringe. She should have ignored him tbh

@fossilesque from interstellar medium/galactic center

I worked for NASA and the Space Force ...
That "worked for" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, she's a tiktok influencer lol

Are any of the things she listed actually "doing science" though? Writing policy is more politics.
- Well he did ask 'what have you done that's so great'
  
  exactly, she wasn't saying she was a researcher, she was stating she wasn't an arm chair quarterback... Going with the sports analogy she's far closer to a manager or a coach... not a dude on the couch with just the perspective of what's shown on TV.

- Her first point stands wrt SpaceX. Turning this into a discussion about her experience on the topic makes her point even more valid. Last time I checked people didn't need to be a nobel laurate in a field to make a valid point.
- Yes, but she still probably knows what she is talking about
