It has Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad vibes to me

Future "tourism" flights above the Kharman line should be filled with fireworks that are set off at apogee. (Inside the cabin) edit 2: (and also inside the LOX tanks)

If everyone just ignored them, then their attention-seeking stunts would be meaningless.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

You are right, but in a competitive society all criticism will be labelled as envy of the wealthy and only considered if it comes from the same social class, but to reach the same social class a person changes and becomes similar to other wealthy people.

Anyways not all elite is the same since some just inherit and mantain some ethical values because of that, but they are a minority inside of a minority.

I want to snap those ugly nails off, god.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pull them off with a pair of pliers

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I just don't get nail fashion for the last 10-15 years. Fake nails just look SO OBVIOUSLY FAKE and inhuman and thick and nasty like they have some kind of fungus. It's just so ugly, god. I hate it. They just sit on top of the finger like some slug.

Nah, when my woman has long, natural nails, well kept nails, nicely shaped, with a little bit of dark red nail polish or just clear polish, and you can tell the nails are natural and thin like a human and not a bird's talon, ...

... I'm in love. Love me some natural. Heck, skip the polish if you like. And they don't even need to be too long. I don't mind a lady that does some manual work.

Just fuck right the heck off with these fake ass tiny diving boards people plaster onto the edges of their hands.

A few years ago, i had to answer the question "how do you wipe?!" A quick YouTube search later, I'm cackling at what can only be described as a ShitMitt.

IN ROD WE TRUST

That's a Mr Beast smile

I can't see any other use for the money that was spent on this - we can all come together in harmony and peace now that women have finally flown into low earth orbit. /s

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago

I just wanna point out that they never went into LEO, not even close. This was a suborbital flight.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

So we need to eat the rich is what you said.

I’m on board.

Don’t correct me. I’m not listening anymore.

They have attained the idealized body weight in America: zero

I don’t actually mind her leading with positivity. Is it superficial? Sure. But I’m okay with the good vibes.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

This positivity produced 15 tons of CO2. 10 seconds at the price of 4 years of normal life on earth. Just for Instagram photos.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I do. Toxic positivity is just about as bad as being an outright asshole in my opinion.

I get that nobody likes to cope with negative emotions, negative things happening in reality, or possible negative outcomes from our actions (or inaction) but these things are a part of life and can serve as a reinforcement mechanism to help us fix things.

Toxicly positive people keep insisting that everything is going to work out fine and sing a little song while the ship sinks. I'd rather be on board with folks that understand negative outcomes are possible or even likely, if in fact they are.

The heart hands bullshit of toxic positivity is terrible in good times and nearly intolerable when everything is in crisis.

Anything to pretend like the world's not burning around us, amiright?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’d rather she release some space meme instagram thread than inflict another album on the earthbound.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

She's got a new tour and album queued up. 2025 just keeps delivering the nutshots

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don't get it. There is someone holding a flower looking weirdly intense. In a flight suit?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

PS my guess about the intense look is because she is experiencing "zero-G", which allegedly feels identical to a free fall drop or that moment you crest a hill at speed and your stomach feels funny. I would probably be very uncomfortable and would struggle to appear serene or at peace while my stomach is floating inside my body

Katy Perry on a recent space-tourism flight with Jeff Bezos' space company, Blue Origin

[–] [email protected] 100 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Don't you get it? She is a pioneer for going to space for ten seconds as a woman.

Disclaimer: Women might or might not have been into space before. No way to tell.

You could easily look that info up on the NASA websi... oh, it's gone.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thankfully the first woman in space wasn't in NASA, so that info is still up where it belongs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

The tv series 'for all mankind' started out so interesting with such a good premise, what if the russians landed on the moon first, and what if they landed a woman on the moon first, and then just spirals into NASA bullshit propaganda apologia. It was so dusappointing. Just a tangent but its what your comment brought to mind.

I feel like I don't see enough Back to the Future memes in 2025 so I very much appreciate this

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

That’s because none of it (the good stuff) was accurate and we are all very sad about that..

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

She’s really looking for any possibility to stay relevant.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago

Lol, had totally forgotten she existed. Thought the picture was of an influencer or something. Ugh whatever, same difference
