I loved her in Wednesday

As would I.

Youre the fucking artist! What do you mean, you spent a hundred grand in labor?

Burying the best part IMO

It’s also clear, however, that Furnari, despite no one having commissioned him to make the statue, was hoping to make money. He said he had expected unnamed wealthy figures to donate to him – he spent $100,000 on steel, resin and labor – but that has not come to pass.

In desperation, Furnari set up an online fundraising campaign, hoping to raise an initial $150,000, but potentially millions of dollars, which he said would allow him to take the statue on tour. As of Thursday, he had raised $1,400.

“I was thinking that it was going to resonate with the world, with whoever, but man, people are strange out there,” he said. “Meaning like, nobody is really coming up with support, especially financial support. So far I’ve spent all my money on this.”

Regardless of his broken foot and light wallet, Furnari said he did not really believe the Kirk statue was cursed. “The statue is not cursed. The statue is blessed,” he said, in spite of all available evidence – but he has certainly been left angry.

“Things financially are a total, absolute nightmare. It’s like wow. People are cheap, man. You know, people talk, talk – I know lots of people out there, and everybody’s so cheap. You know, like, it’s disgusting how cheap they are.”

$100K for that is insane, no matter who the subject is. I thought it was going to be cast copper or something at least. It's just plain steel. You can buy it scrapped by the ton for like $200.

Liquid cancer is much better

No. 1 spot at the box office was promised to me 6,000 years ago

No idea why anyone would say that. A soft taco has like 2g of fiber. Here's the menu. Feel free to click around and prove me wrong but nothing I saw on the best sellers list had more than like 5g and those are things meant to be shared

This is true and I was mostly just being pedantic. What I was trying to say is that 99% of modern colonization as been mercantilism. Even the few exceptions to this aren't relevant because self-reliance on the Moon is almost nonexistent. There's very little "dogmatic" justification for it, too. There's no fresh continent of non-believers to convert and the Church is certainly in no position to sponsor missions regardless.

The moon offers very little cost-effective extractive industry, at least not without some wild discoveries or decades (centuries?) of infrastructure buildout. There is an almost-garaunteed $0 immediate ROI.

Whatever happens there would probably be closer to Antarcitc research outposts than the New World colonial craze. Nonnational scientific stations whose funding ebbs and flows with the geopolitical dickwagging of a handful of terrestial superpowers.

I agree with the rough sentiment but this author might have one of the most condescending written tones I've ever read. Truly, truly doing nothing for the cause.

But if you haven’t left [Trump] yet, you are either a total moron who shouldn’t be voting,

Yes, because testing for intelligence to vote worked out for everyone in the past.

It's low in fiber and greasy. When your body is conditioned to expect whole foods, stuff like that gets shot right back out.

Very doubtful, at least for a long time. Barring some insane discoveries, sustaining any community worthy of calling "independent" on the Moon would take decades of constant trade.

The Moon also offers very little raw material opportunity too, it's hard to even consider whatever might happen up there to be "colonizing"

My fav DG album. Love the rock influence on Jenny Death.

Lmao. First one that really got me in a while, props to the artist
