This made me wonder what it would actually look like.
It would be so big, would it curve around with the Lagrange point?
Would it be significant enough to see with the naked eye?
Would we see ripples or waves cause by other gravitational forces. Could it be used to detect gravitational waves?
That would be cool. Except the whole, “not seeing the moon anymore” thing.
Can you imagine the energy you would need to keep something like that from drifting off and or bunching up under its own mass?
Exactly.
It’s always an unknown factor at other places. Some of them you feel like you are taking your life in your own hands.
But Buc-ees is always a guaranteed a clean experience.
Judges others
Gets mad when others do the same to them
That’s actually pretty ignorant and judgemental. That statement sounds so MAGA.
Setting aside the U.S.'s current political disposition for the moment.
The U.S. has always been a huge melting pot of different peoples of the world. A lot of those people would stay together, creating little islands of culture all over.
They would celebrate their culture and often celebrate other people’s culture along with them. (I have been told that the U.S. celebrates Cinco De Mayo way more than Mexico ever did.)
A lot of it comes from asserting your own culture identity against this broad mixing pot. Or even asserting it against active suppression. Some of it is evolved tradition over the generations.
Many people value their ancestral roots and like to celebrate it.
Saying America has no history is so ethnocentric.
The U.S. is made up of immigrants from the entire globe. The U.S.'s history shares its history with every other nation of the world.
I love that there are so many different festivals, from different cultures, all the time. Houston is in Texas, but it is a massively diverse city. We named a highway after a Sikh policeman who had been murdered in the line of duty. The city (county maybe) even lets us sell fireworks for Diwali. There are Greek festivals all over. (Yes it has a terribly racist past, and it is considered the human trafficking capital of the U.S., fuck you big oil.)
I have never had someone introduce themselves to me as a <culture>-American. But plenty of people will talk about their ancestral culture if you ask.
I guess if you live in a monoculture, then you may not value that culture identity as strongly as you might when your ancestral culture is just one of a thousand.
Diversity is king. If someone wants to let their cultural freak flag fly, who the hell are you to judge?
Judging me for the words you put in my mouth. You are certainly special.
Agreed. A girl can dream though.
History doesn’t repeat itself. People just don’t change. :/
My dream timeline:
U.S. collapses under a revolution, Israel, losing its support gets buttfucked by Iran.
Then a few weeks after Israel is toppled, the Iranian people overthrow their government too, ending hostilities.
U.S. becomes a non-warhawk, nature version of a Theodore Roosevelt paradise. Iran is opened up to the rest of the world, and everyone loves to visit the beautiful resort country, Palestine, every summer.
Thank you. I actually had it backwards in my head until read your comment.
Bucky!
Just need one tooth hanging out!
Weegie toe feathers are the cutest.
Huh. I grew up with laserdiscs and never knew it was an analogue recording and not a digital one.
That explains some things for me.
