I like discussions with all types of people. Discrimination is not okay, nor is being an a-hole. If you don't like what I say, move on, and we'll all be better for it.

My favorite thing about physics is how it's always forcing me to rethink my assumptions about how reality works. Now @kpc.bsky.social has rounded up all the weirdest, most mind-blowing physics findings of the past year 🧪 Topics include the multiverse, quantum physics, causality, and time itself!

Sorry, I was pointing to his ignorance on not allowing women in combat. That said, I don't think there is one single man who associates himself with Trump that I'd ever trust around women. But yes, Pete is one of the worst.

Fair point. It wasn't without some attitude and full of ignorance. But I just think we (Americans) have stopped talking to each other. I don't have to agree with someone to have a discussion with them. Just my two cents. Thanks for the comment, appreciate it.

Does Trump have to sneak away to have a moment without Elon? Does he say he has to go to the bathroom but really goes out the backdoor?

Men in the military will not be safe without women in the military. To suggest only men should be in combat roles means one has unfortunately gotten their head stuck up their ass. Someone call 911, they can't breathe.

The construction and agricultural industries would be destroyed. Hope those that voted for Trump enjoy paying 50% more for a house because of increased labor costs. The 50% is made up by me, but I fear I'm low-balling it.

I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, though, people have forgotten how to talk to others and be open for discussion. I will get more hate in my inbox for this, too. Nothing written here is offensive or rude, but some people will hear it that way...without ever taking the time to talk.

If anyone took a moment to look at my posts, you'd see I do not spew hate and honestly don't mean to offend. If I offended you, it was not my intention. But you should see the evil that has now filled my inbox. How are the people who sent me these are better?

Nick Tornabene @nicktornabene.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
Okay, I think people are really not understanding my point, so I should clarify. I fully support rights and someone who is trans is a woman in my opinion. But that is my opinion. I think it would be worth a conversation and if it goes South, block and move on. Agree with that.

Nick Tornabene @nicktornabene.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
Very well written, and thank you again for the insight. Please understand that I didn't receive messages like yours, I received hate-filled messages. The sad thing is that I'm a huge advocate for trans rights.

If you read any of my posts, you'll see that I don't spew hate. That's not me. I don't agree with her point of view. I'm not a conservative nor a MAGA nut. When did it become so hateful to have a conversation? I'm not arguing and thank you for taking the ti.e to talk with me.

Nick Tornabene @nicktornabene.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
The messages I received were filled with hate and ignorance (not your message). How are any of the people that sent terrible messages to me any better? Again, I really am not here to make people angry. Having conversations need to start somewhere, even if they go nowhere. Then we just move on.

Nick Tornabene @nicktornabene.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
I hear you, and what you say makes sense. I'm a center-left, not far, far left person. I do NOT agree with what she said, but thought it would be good to understand her viewpoint. I get it, really I do. But you would have thought I said we should all kill puppies or something.

How are any of us better if a simple, respectful reply turns into the very hate everyone left X for? Someone posted something that a person said. I didn't agree with what they said, but the way they said it wasn't disrespectful, so I dared to ask why an immediate block by another? It's really sad.
000
Nick Tornabene @nicktornabene.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
...like themselves, there's no way to ever gain perspective. I have no issues with anyone on this platform, but an immediate block and move on doesn't seem to be the answer. Not trying to fill up your inbox, but happy to continue if you're iinterested.

Fair questions. I'm not sure what you mean by you're not supposed to engage with y'all, as I'm in a group of so.e kind. I am 100% acting in good faith. See, folks blew right past the part where I say I don't agree with here. I just think people need conversations, and if people only talk to others

Nick Tornabene @nicktornabene.bsky.social · 19/11/2024
Well, I don't know if that's fair. While I don't agree, she's not being disrespectful. She is stating a point of view, and in my opinion, she's reaching out for a discussion to better understand. Now, I have no idea who she is or what her other posts are, but understanding does not equal agreement.

Trump is going to need to go to Ikea and get a lot more display cases. He's running out of room for all of the balls he has collected. I mean, you have to display them properly, not just in a drawer or something.

I think there is some other things going on that no one seems to talk about. The SecDef oversees nearly a $1T budget with A LOT of defense contracts. The latest Secretary of Energy has oil interests. The head of the FCC wants to clear the way for a $900M SpaceX subsidy. Don't lose sight of the $.

Crashing the economy would crush their wealth and billionaires like to stay billionaires if you know what I mean. If I have $100k that I lose with a crash, it will hurt and take time to get it back. Just imagine what it takes to get $100M back. There goal is power and to make even more money.

Don't underestimate the importance of the USD being 58% of the world's reserve currency. Say you're in India and want to buy a part from a German plant. You don't just send money, your bank converts it to USD and it converts to the other country's currency on the other side.

I hear you, but let's take a look at the market size. Total market cap for all crypto is $3.22T, which sounds like a lot, but the market cap of the USD is $48.5T. And the USD is 58% of the world's reserve currency. www.forbes.com/digital-asse... www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator...

...and JD Vance would have all he needed to invoke the 25th Amendment and become President. As much as he might want to, he wouldn't for these reasons. Let's not forget that he is also a coward and the scathing backlash would crush his little narcissistic brain. Just my opinion.

You're not going to like my answer, but it's money. If he were to do that, the US dollar would crash, and with it, the global financial system. We call all think about idealogy, I know I do, but for these folks, it's largely about money. And for his backers, it's all about money.

Director Fede Álvarez was so excited by the success of Alien: Romulus that he began working on the next installment. Unfortunately, the concept art of the new xenomorph scared the shit out of the test audiences, so he is sticking with the less disgusting chest burster. I mean, just look at it. 🤢🤮👽
