Eugh, I still get nervous walking in/out of elevators because of that movie.
Just saying, this is only being manufactured at one refinery right now, yeah? Maybe there would be a good place to protest.
And let's not forget her cells are the foundation of modern vaccine research, without them we'd still have waves of Polio and who knows what else. Even outside of the financial aspect we owe a lot to Henrietta Lacks as a species.
And it is beyond cruel that she was used like a lab rat, like many Black Americans have been through the country's history. It's not about the degree of harm, IMO, sure they didn't cut off her arms, but she was a systematic victim of our medical industry and given no compensation or credit for the advancements in global medicine during her time.
Starlink has already cut access to front line Ukrainians before, forcing them to hold off on advancing due to lack of communication.
Starlink has benefitted immensely from the war, so it's not a purely humanitarian desire to help Ukrainians. Free publicity and a guaranteed market share when only a handful of people ever even heard of Starlink is what they were after, IMO.
In my hometown they recently established a shuttle bus line for medical transportation and grocery transport for the elderly. This allows people with disabilities to get to places you need a car to get to without having to worry about the financial or environmental impact of owning their own car.
Please please tell me you understand why it's not okay to call someone brain damaged for starting a conversation about the nuances of the fuck cars ideology.
What is your end goal? This attitude and lack of basic human respect is not going to do anything but generate hostile conversation. I'm on your side ideologically but tanj... this is not a healthy way to communicate those ideas.
Even if they're asking in bad faith, it would be much more useful to be able to read well thought out reasons as to why they're wrong, because comments like this aren't going to communicate why we will almost always need to use cars for niche applications. (Transporting construction materials and workers to remote areas, for establishing wind farms, etc.)
Yeah right, this is one of the more toxic thread discussions that I've seen on this website. It's actually disgusting the way people are behaving. Being a duck in the comments is not going to do anything but generate hostile conversation and de rail any reasonable debate.
I wanted to drop in and say thank you for being respectful and making a genuine attempt at communicating your ideas, is baffling to me how vile people are being to a basic question of the movement.
What the fuck man... Reread your comment and count to 10, then reread OPs post and consider if this reply isn't toxic as hell.
Couldn't the US nationalize it and then set up an agency to maintain the network/ensure it doesn't get shut off again by Elon Musk?
Edit: Obviously I mean the US should do an imminent domain / purchase first, so they have access to the satellites first, smh.
Both of your comments are tbh. I don't get the sarcasm out of the blue, it just ends up fuelling a nonsense feud.
Why do you have to be so sarcastic man they weren't even talking to you
Eyes for the Eye God!
Tradition! Raises broken arm to the sky
