@DancingBear@midwest.socialcreatorto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had to jump off of the space station with with your friends, and all you could bring with you were your spacesuits, parachutes for each of you, and you had a magic device that had enough oxygen3•1MWhat is it that makes you “burn up” on reentry? Is any of that avoided if you can decelerate yourself from going sideways… apologies I don’t know what to call it but you are like a baseball at that point going sideways across the yard relative to flat ground on earth I think.
Edit: that’s really cool though if you are saying we only need a few backpacks of oxygen to burn ourselves up though

One of you can be Neil degrass Tyson? That physics dude… Astro or even heck it could be Stephen hawking or anyone you probably need Superman to be one of the friends present okay we have to assume the people are strapped together and can hold the magic device lol no X-men, unless is that cool marvel guy who is like the flash in the dc universe

Someone made a random post and it’s Saturday night and I think I can ask anything here the article is political I guess or about current events let me know if I need to redo the post and how to link to comments… should it be a screenshot of the comments instead maybe so you can’t see the original post?




@DancingBear@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad?2•2MIt’s funny as I was reading the comments and I was actually thinking about fosters specifically and how ass nasty it is
I have had a good Newcastle and boddington’s and Sammy smith on tap in the states at a Irish bar so frigging delicious although Sammy smith is good in general but probably some of them are too sweet to be considered beer.
@DancingBear@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else expect WW3 within the next 1-2 years?3•2MOk so we can assume the dozen coup attempts by the us government have nothing to do with this at all, gotcha….
Again, whatever country you are from your anecdotal experience and evidence is valid but also anecdotal. We are both obviously influenced by propaganda on this particular issue but again whatever country you are from if I got it wrong and you think that was the most important thing? When we are talking about Venezuela? Really? Does your neck have a ring of shit around it? Serious questions need answers
Edit: I already know the answer to one of these questions
@DancingBear@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else expect WW3 within the next 1-2 years?4•3MIt’s laughable to argue that the main source of their economic issues are not the sanctions.
This tells me that you are not arguing in good faith.
You being from Columbia and having met a few Venezuelan immigrants is anecdotal evidence.
I also am friends and know some Venezuelan immigrants.
If someone who went to Harvard and has a trust fund leaves the United States and they tell foreigners what it was like for them growing up, how similar to the average American is their experience… not very similar at all…
We can help the guy from Harvard but his lived experience is not the absolute truth of all Americans……
This is what I mean.
Likewise, if someone was born an orphan in a bankrupt church, their lived experience is not all Americans lived experience…
Edit: it’s also somewhat reasonable to assume that maduro supporters would not be leaving the country
@DancingBear@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else expect WW3 within the next 1-2 years?4•3MIt’s also difficult to get an honest picture of what is happening there as pretty much all western media has blatantly supported the more than a dozen coup attempts by the USA since 2000 alone. Folks who are able to get out are also biased in one way or another. We can empathize with their lived experience and try to help the immigrants without taking their personal experience to be the absolute truth of the experiences of all Venezuelans. But again, most of the issues that affect the citizens are directly caused by US sanctions, not Maduro or the government.
I can believe that the poor folks would suffer the most so I can’t disagree with you there, but Venezuela is a bad comparison to make, per your original comment I posted to, as far as the point you were trying to make on the orginal thread topic.
@DancingBear@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•without saying how old you are, how old are you?6•7MWhen we were kids the telephone man gave us the secret code you could use to make the phone booth phones call themselves to test the ringer. Loads of fun. I used to wake up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons. I know how to use the yellow pages, and I used to be the kid who would help you plug in and program all the old people’s tv and vcr and cable boxes. Most of the neighborhood kids had to be on by the time that one streetlight came on at dusk, but I was allowed to stay out later but usually went home too because it was boring after everyone else went home. We used to play tag football in the middle of the street and I was the wide receiver because I was the third or fourth oldest and the oldest two were always the quarterbacks. We used to all hang out at little jimmys house who was 8 or 10 years old because he had Mike Tyson’s punch out on NES. If one of our parents needed cigarettes we could walk up to buy them as long as we had a note from our mom.
Saul Williams did break through…… for a poet.
