Imagine 50 years from now. Going to the Moon is as expensive as flying to Asia.

And people still thinking it's fake 😭

I refuse to believe that Asia is a real place.

So cool!

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
 
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl pic.twitter.com/6jWINHkDLh

Nah they'll just continue to say Hollywood and Nasa are in cahoots and it's super duper amazing CGI and all the people in power are in on a massive worldwide conspiracy.  Countries can't even get along, but yet they are all in on fake space.

Pi, you going to try gemma 4? How does it compare to the models you use?

Thanks for reminding me. I was going to try it out, but I forgot. 

I'll come back later after I've tried it out.

At least it will, hopefully, only last a few years. Like once we have a full Artemis 4 landing in 4K with tons of footage, they'll probably accept that. Right?

But then they'd just say it's a waste and too expensive.

If only. It just seems to get worse. Probably ought to get my algo to know I'm not interested in that garbage.  It's just too tempting to read all the idiot comments

Any time I see a post about the firmament and the moon landing and this mission being fake, I get fudgy livid. Like how idiotic our species is is absolutely mind blowing

i think in a very character driven show like breaking bad it can work to the show's advantage to not have a plan for the show. 

the thing that breaking bad (and game of thrones books) do very well is create unique and deep characters and for better or worse the actions the characters take feel believable and in-character.

the thing most shows (and the game of thrones tv show's later seasons) do poorly is to build up a character only to have them do a very uncharacterized or unsubstantiated actions just because the writers wanted to take the story in another direction. 

...like there are countless numbers of examples of this but the first one that comes to mind is how in GoW Ragnarak Freya hated Kratos (justified) and then half way though the game they were friends again (poorly justified).
