"It’s like the spend too much on these bowls and then cheap out on the faucets!",
"Seriously! Why even waste getting the big bowl?",
"I fabricate and install countertops and it would almost be humorous at times. some people spend thousands on a beautiful countertop and cheap out on the faucet or sink. i know this pic is of a top mounted sink but i have seen people use one of those horrible faucets on their kitchen sink. just install it, smile and nod lol.

"To add a bit of context: in Gulf countries it's typical for restaurants and some cafes to offer a \"family section\" which is somewhat separated from the rest of the establishment. Families or groups of women are seated in this section and groups of men only are seated outside it. The idea is not really to limit where women can sit - although it does effectively achieve that - but more to segregate women from bachelors.\n\nEvidently the manager of this McDonalds has taken issue with the fact that there is no divider in the seating area - but I find this quite strange since every western fast food place in the Gulf that I visited just dispensed with the \"family section\" concept and everyone seemed fine with it. So this seems unusual. \n\nIn these countries gender segregation is a part of traditional life. In Oman for example many houses are built with two sitting rooms, one for the patriarch to host out-of-the-family male visitors, and one for the family, but also accessible to extended family and women visitors.\n\nYou might see this as backwards or oppressive and I don't have an argument to the contrary. But I will say that there are certainly women in these countries who *agree* with this segregation because it prevents them from coming into contact with bachelors, which they would prefer not to do, because of traditional propriety. But there are women in these countries who would prefer not to have these rules as well. ",
"It even worse, grant 10 times as many franchises. That'll fuck them properly.",
"\"Family sections\" are definitely a thing in the middle east. If you dined with women, you would be sat in the family section. It was sold less about discrimination but to protect women from weird lone guys. Imagine r/indianpeoplefacebook. This was true to some degree.

Very weird scene.",

Men are taught that the public space is theirs and that they should occupy it. Actually, the more masculine you are the more space you should take. Keep your legs wide appart to show how manly you are, have a strong loud voice, etc.\n\nSo it's kind of a symbol. When some men take 3 seats for themselves and force the people next to them to have no space left, they basically act like they own the space around them and don't care about sharing it. This mindset is central to sexist oppression, because it's the root of many sexist problems. For example women feel unsafe alone in the streets because the public space belongs to men, and women just try to go around in it hoping not to get harassed by an entitled asshole.\n\nThe same men that feel entitled to three seats in the tube when there are other people are likely the same as the ones that will constantly interrupt/talk over people in meetings, or treat people like shit, or catcall women for example.\n\nAnd it's called manspreading because it's an overwhelmingly male behaviour that is learned socially as part of toxic masculinity.

There are certain \"universals\" like murder/rape/torture being things that you shouldn't do (though some countries seem to take some of these crimes less seriously but that's generally in very impoverished areas). But, to criticize another culture for having divided genders on the grounds that it's oppressive and morally repulsive is a bit hypocritical considering the Western countries' own problems with sexism. Just because there aren't laws dictating that women be treated differently than men does not mean that the Western cultures view women as equal to men. The whole point of this is that we can look at objectively bad things like violence and say \"okay yeah that's too far.\" But, it's not up to us as people who aren't involved in their culture to decide that having women and men separated in daily life as immoral. Many women there find empowerment in things like that. Many don't. You'll find many women in the USA, for example, who believe in strict gender roles (men work, women stay at home and cook, clean and raise kids). What's considered right is vastly different from culture to culture with few exceptions.\n\nI would recommend you read the ethnography called \"Guests of the Sheilkh\" it will give you a bit of perspective outside of your own. If western countries didn't spend so much time trying to force other countries into their own form of morality, our world would be filled with a lot less violence and strife. ",

"I think you confuse religion with moral ethical philosophy. \n\nWe as societies (plural intended, because societies are geographical) have moral ethical philosophies. Those are based on lots of things, not simply religion. \n\nMost western cultures adhere to a moral ethical philosophy that has roots in Judeo-Christian beliefs, but have long since evolved, and continue to do so. That doesn't mean we eschew those roots of religious moral ethical philosophy, it simply means we've adopted or adapted them to a modern moral ethical philosophy.\n\nToday, that moral ethical philosophy common across Western Civilization fights with those who believe egoism is the more enlightened moral ethical philosophy. \n\nThere is a difference between free will, and the moral ethical dilemma imposed by it. We must choose whether or not to act on our free will based on what good or harm comes of it in society. \n\nWe can choose not to work, we can choose to smoke weed all day, we can choose to piss or shit our pants. But there are consequences to that, not only within society, but to our own person.\n\nTrain Spotting touched on this dilemma nicely. \n\nThe problem with your comment is that you correlate religion with moral ethics. However, there are people who live absent of religion, whose moral ethical philosophy is based on an amalgamation of moral ethical philosophies. Honestly though, most of the world does.

"No, it isn't.\n\nYou can not only look at the history of the 1950's - 60's, but you can look at recent history as well.\n\nThe governments that were in power in the middle-east prior to the mid-1950's, were all there because they were friendly to western countries.\n\nIran had a democratically elected government that had been installed shortly after the overthrow of the Shah of Iran. However, because they wanted to nationalize oil production, the US and UK overthrew them.\n\nThe US invaded Iraq to overthrow an unfavorable leader to western countries, for one that was (hopefully) favorable. This was made perfectly clear in a 1992 DOD memo that had circulated Washington. In it, Cheney, as Defense Secretary, had called for the US to continue into Iraq after the Republican Guard had been decimated, and overthrow Hussein. The idea behind this was that with a seed democracy, the rest of the Middle-East would fall to democracies (see the Arab Spring). \n\nGeorge H. W. Bush wouldn't go along with this plan, so it wasn't until George W. Bush was in office, and Dick Cheney was VP, did it have any better of a chance of happening. The US need only wait for something to happen for there to be a reason to invade Iraq, and they definitely made up a bunch of stuff to invade.\n\nSo, TL;DR, the thing that keeps those countries in power is the fact that they are friendly to Western countries, and willing to trade with us. Otherwise, as we have shown we can, when we need to, we can invade those countries and overthrow their governments.\n",

"While working at a restaurant in the Midwest US I served some sort of middle eastern family. First it was a group of what seemed to be mom, grandma, and many children who came up and ordered, then sat down without taking or paying for their food. After they sat a man came in, ordered food for himself, and pays for his and the women and kids food. He takes his food and sits alone on the other side of the restaurant to eat. The woman retrieves the food for the group and they eat. When done the man left alone. The group followed suit as soon as he was out the door. No interaction between him and the group the whole time, other than him paying for their food.\n\nIs it normal in some parts of the middle east to keep men and women/children seperate? I assumed the man was the husband, but I could be totally wrong there. I know they have very different social rules between the sexes there, but I thought immediate family was excluded from much of that.",

You have problems.\n\nTakes two seconds to type your username followed by the word \"christian\" on Google. Plus, the way you came across in your post made it pretty obvious you were nepotistic towards Christianity, which I rarely ever see actual Atheists do. Then there's the fact that you also looked into my post history.\n\n> And yeah sure, just completely dismiss the link\n\nWhy would I ever take a biased source into consideration? That's not logical. I fully expect you to not consider anything I linked in the IslamQA link, which was my point by saying they both have biases, hence they're bad sources.\n\n> There’s honestly so much wrong with Islam I don’t feel like going down every single thing on the list because by the time i was done I would have written an entire novel on it. Pretty much respect every religion on earth besides ones that were clearly 100% started by people aiming to take advantage of people like Joseph Smith (Mormon) and Mohammed (Islam). Setting up a religion that basically made them rich and just twisted other religions they were around to benefit themselves. \n\nIslam and Mormonism are successive to Christianity, the same way Christianity is to Judaism. \n\n> Just because it presents facts you don’t agree with doesn’t make it any less true.\n\nThis is tantamount to asking a leftist to get their news from Fox.\n\n> Once again, anyone who really wants to understand Islam go to r/exmuslim. If you can stomach it read the Quran and Hadiths. I’m all for allowing every religion having some messed up things in it, but it’s pretty obvious anyone who actually reads it and believes in it isn’t intellectually honest or is intellectually compromised due to biased.\n\nI can't fathom how you're slandering and generalizing Muslims as intellectually dishonest while also having a bias and lying about being a Christian. You literally go to church, advise people on prayer, and post on /r/christianity as stated by yourself in the posts linked above.\n\nI'm going to go ahead and say if anyone wants to learn up on Islam or Christianity, by all means go to any source you wish, that's your choice. \n\n/r/islam and /r/christianity are always open to legitimate questions.\n\nThat being said, I'm going to go ahead and not respond to anything else you post because the conversation is getting cyclical.",

"1. I showed how many people died from not having insurance, not a lack of treatment, the people in the study were fully able to take advantage (and likely did) of the ER facilities available. Not having insurance is generally a financial matter. I can't seem to find a good source for stats on reasons why people opt out of insurance specifically for the US, but one random poll on some no named website showed 85% said it's because they can't afford it, that seems in line with what you would expect.\n\n2. Both of the countries larger than the US have lower murder rates, as well as the country below it. The first country that comes up on the population list after the US with a higher homicide rate is Brazil followed by Pakistan. Some of the smallest countries in the world have the highest murder rates as well. So tell me again, how does overall size increase murders per capita? Also, I'm not arguing that illegally owned guns aren't a problem, I'm arguing that the sheer number of legal guns makes it much easier to obtain an illegal gun, which can then be used improperly. Without the legal guns, there wouldn't be illegal guns in any quantity that mattered. You will notice my original argument was \"If you got rid of all guns, total homicides would drop\" and not \"if you get rid of legal guns.\"\n\n3. Fat shaming... that's hilarious. You realize that the #1 cause of death in the US is heart disease right? Gold medals? You want to get into Olympic achievements? You guys do not have a good PER CAPITA rate of medal obtainment, but you still don't understand why per capita statistics are important for comparisons. You guys were 43rd in the world for the 2016 olympics, and only 86 countries participated. You were 49th in the 2012 olympics. I'm not even including the winter olympics just to be nicer to you, because you guys count up from the bottom in those ones. http://www.medalspercapita.com/#medals-per-capita:2016\n\nBonus: Are you fucking kidding me again? Canada, The UK and France were on the winning side both times as well. The fact that you brought out your military to try to defend your \"culture\" smacks of some serious insecurities. How does winning wars make your culture objectively \"better\" than other cultures? The mongols won a lot of wars too, would you say their culture is \"better\" because of it?\n\n\nYou don't have a basic grasp of the mathematics involved in comparisons. You keep using absolute values instead of per capita when you think it suits your argument, without justifying why it's relevant. You don't understand the straw man fallacy, because I did not in fact set up any sort of scenario which was easier to prove. I'm not insulting your intelligence, I'm just indicating that your level of education is currently insufficient to allow you to debate these points with any sort of authority. Assuming you have the required intelligence, further education could fix that deficiency. \n\n",

"1: Muslims never expect sources from people who aren’t Muslim because everyone else is biased against them. Every time without fail.

You can be a good person still but I won’t even entertain the idea of Islam being rift because it so clearly isn’t.\n\n5: Islam and Mormonism were made up by people who wanted to use its teachings and twist them to for their own purposes with cults centered around them. If you want to say the same thing about Christianity I am 100% willing to agree how I could see that as well.\nIn my opinion it doesn’t seem like Jesus did anything that Vastly benefited himself from it though so that doesn’t really make sense. So either he was a terrible swindler and con artist or he actually believed in what he was saying although he was wrong if that is the case. With the case of both Joseph Smith and Mohammed I 100% believe they were just really good swindlers who didn’t actually believe in what they were saying. \n\n6: if the facts are right the facts are right regardless of where they come from.

Though travelling outside the country does require permission. \n\nYou're right that they don't have a full right to dress in whatever they want, but technically you can't dress any way you want in the US either. The allowed attire is more varied in the US, but there are still restrictions. In fact, it some in the US get their way, dressing they way they do in Saudi would be illegal. Adding even more restrictions.\n\nEven men don't have freedom of speech in Saudi. This isn't a gender thing. \n\nSo... yea... four pretty bad examples. \n\nNot to mention, You only think these are bad because your culture thinks women should have these rights. Freedom isn't OBJECTIVELY a good thing. You keep pets or at least a large number of Americans do, and they aren't free. If a dramatically more advanced alien civilization wanted to keep humans as pets, would that be morally wrong? Dogs can live independently of human care, they can make choices about things independent of human care, they can love their offspring and mourn their loss.

If you 100% believe everything in the Quran you would have to be a religious zealot but not accepting it in Islam would also be not accepting allah. \n\nAnd yeah, pretty sure Christians believe if you deny Christ and are Christian, to the point where you couldn’t deny it even if you were under the barrel of a gun...which you could lie about in Islam (taqiyya)...you go to hell, sooooooooo whatever, at the end of the day believe what you want to believe. \n\nAnd the source simply says what is there in Islam and even gives historical context. You clearly haven’t read it and don’t want to read it. It even gives Islam the benefit of the doubt on things. It is a site devoted to pointing out Islam’s bullshit but it does it in an objective manner which you couldn’t argue the fact about, \n\nKeep in mind this all started because a poster said in Christianity it advocated he merits to beat your wife and own slaves gave examples. The examples they gave didn’t even support that without context or not. All you had to do was read it, I provided extra background myself which I didn’t even need to do because anyone who read the verse would know how clearly obvious it was. The very worst one was “women shouldn’t be preachers and should be silent”. I even said that is clearly archaic, but hardly supports beating them which was the posters initial claim.\n\nMohammed actually does say, and there are a ton of other Islamic teachings which back it up, that it is ok to beat your wife under certain circumstances. And provided a link that points out evidence in the Quran and hadiths.\n\nYou then try to basically discredit everything By saying “biased source”..which gets their information straight from the horses mouth of Quran and hadiths...and try to go after me personally based on me identifying as Christian or commenting in the Christianity sub almost a year ago and later. I’m clearly very active in those subreddits presently. /s\n\nBut yep, I’m totally making everything completely up. \n\nWant to know my progression spiritually? Christian->deist ->atheist ->maybe there’s something probably not ->Christian ->believe in something but not sure completely what and there’s no way any religion is 100% right but some are probably more or less right than others but bits and pieces from other religions sound right too so you aren’t sure what you believe exactly but do believe that whatever is out there is above your understanding but whatever it is it is benevolent and this existence isn’t the end of your life and being a good person and trusting your gut and mind is probably the best way to go and hope all is well that ends well.\n\nBeen that last one for probably outright about a year now, but have probably been creeping that way for a while now. I can still empathize with many Christians though because I can understand them and feel like I can help them because I’ve been through a lot of stuff they experience as well. And I don’t remember every comment I’ve ever made, but I’m pretty sure a lot of times I would mention I was Christian but had different beliefs which was true. Now I can’t identify as Christian because I don’t believe in certain core tenants of Christianity. The trinity not that I completely reject it but Jesus being god seems a little forced. I don’t understand why Jesus had to be born of a virgin birth. I don’t understand why god wouldn’t forgive humans without requiring his “son/himself” to die for them. Makes no sense. To an eternal benevolent flawless god outside of time why would make no sense. There’s more minor discrepancies as well but I can’t honestly call myself a Christian now since I disagree some of the most important tenants of the faith.\n\nI do personally agree with there sort of being a oneness to the universe and we have a purpose on earth and we should strive to be not only good people but the best people we can be. I do believe in a sort of heaven and hell concept. A place where good people go and a place where bad people go, but I don’t know if either are for eternity or if that’s even the end of the road. And yeah that you don’t have to believe in god to go there or even the right “god”. Seems really petty to me if there is a god overseeing everything to decide someone goes to not heaven because they didn’t believe in them. You would figure an intelligent god would have the sense to understand that people are born to different life circumstances and typically throughout time just believe in whatever religion their parents believe, so that means the child would have to be born under that religion in order to believe in that god 90% of the time. And keep in mind until the last 100 years really it was really hard to realistically know about most of even the big religions on earth,etc alone the smaller ones. Or maybe there’s some kind of cosmic oneness that we join if we break the cycle like in Buddhism and just like taoism. That makes sense to me as well and Heaven is just that and the rest is moot.\n\nAnd then there’s the concept of life on other planets. If not seems rather dull that there are literally only humans. That’s. It a make or break point for me but it certainly doesn’t help that some religions straight up believe there couldn’t be life on other planets due to there religion.\n\nBut sure, after all that if you still what to think I’m Christian and should identify as Christian then fine. And if any other Christian out there who might be reading this says that I can still identify as a Christian then fine, I will start identifying as one again.",

A bit, yes. But not the ridiculous amount that people do when they take all the space, otherwise they'd be unable to walk at all.\n\nAlso, you do realise that what people are taught in life isn't just what school teaches us, right? We pick up tons of social norms from the people around us, and this is one of them. I didn't mean that there's a secret conspiracy giving manspreading lessons to men, but as always thanks to exaggerate everything to try to make it seem like an outraging concept.\n\nAnd shit, it's crazy. People could complain about anything and no one would give a fuck, but as soon as we start complaining about something done by guys, here comes the global outrage and they'll be sure to remind you of it literally everytime any kind of feminist issue is mentioned because the concept that people would like to have fucking room in the tube is such an insult to you guys apparently.",

Which is bullshit of course, they don't and they will never do shit about it, they just found an easy thing to exaggerate and easily silence feminism by just replying to everything \"lol manspreading hahaha\".\n\nThat way they can derail all important questions because men being offended at the thought of not taking everyone's space is more important than women trying to get human rights.\n\nProof being here, when talking about actual oppression, they have to come cry that they read about manspreading once, instead of actually contributing to the thread.",

"Alright, alright. I understand that there are individuals which make the movement look *way* worse. I'm not trying to defend those two you've mentioned, but I'd like to ask you (and of course, do with that whatever you will) to maybe be a bit more accepting of the current movement. While it is true that different regions of the world will have variations of such movements, I'm sure the very basis of it is what matters (at least from what I've seen online), which is to fight against injustice, specifically that perpetrated against women. I understand things like mansplaining and manspreading sound alien and maybe even illogical to some. But I mean... once I started listening, I started seeing such things irl. Sure, I could just be seeing what I want to see, I suppose. But I really have no reason to *want* to see these things. I'm a guy myself. I just want both sides to be more willing to listen. Yes, guys spreading their legs on a bus and taking 3/4 of the seat for themselves isn't anywhere as bad as marital rape. No one's denying that, you know? Or, well, at least, no respectable feminist is denying that. It's just that, when those things the 3rd wave feminism fights do happen, it's still bad. It's just... less worse. So the First and Second waves had tougher fights to care about. Of course! But considering South America isn't *that* far behind the rest of the Western world, I'm pretty sure the wave I've come to know was the Third. And thus I can say that this is my point: the fight might be easier, the reasons to fight might be lesser, but they all still exist. Things like prejudice, be it towards race, gender or what have you, are going to be deeply ingrained in whatever culture had it for a long ass time. It's definitely harder to see nowadays but it exists. Anyway, I'm not trying to \"\"convert\"\" you or anything. Just trying to explain a bit of the other side.",

"Electrician here. Thats exacly how the wires should be wired. The reason behind this is that later on when someone else comes to fix things its much more easier to understand the wiring.",
"Yes, this is an electrician who wants it to be easy for the next guy *and* look good while doing it. Cable management is an art.",
"This electrician is a God send, not OCD.",
"Come check out /r/cableporn/!",
"That looks very professional. To bad the cover for those panels aren't all made of see-thru plexi-glass.",
"Or an electrician who knows HE is going to be the next guy to work on it",

"OCD is exactly what you want in electricians and pilots. ",

"Screw you dude. That's what that's supposed to look like. Go flip a burger.",
"That is the work of a worker that will have to deal with that box many times in the future too.",
"it looks nice, but he didn't label his wires (except the dozen at the bottom) and used the same three colors for everything. red=ac, blue=dc, green = gnd? i don't know for sure, because he didn't label anything. \n\ntracing out a problem is gonna mean that whoever the next technician is, he's going to have to cut open all those nice tied up wire bundles so he can trace them to the next device.\n\nsome of his breakers and contactors are labeled, but not all, and some are using a completely different label scheme. to me that screams that they are used and they left the labels from the old equipment intact, further confusing things. for an industrial field tech trying to trace out an issue from the schematics, this would be a MAJOR headache. hopefully they actually have schematics. you'd be surprised how often industrial machinery doesn't. \n\ni would FAR PREFER well labeled wires in a haphazard panel to this pretty monstrosity. \n",
"it would help if he actually used wire labels though. ",
"At my work we carry around WD-40 and canned air to spray down the terminal strips, all our junction boxes are like a war zone.",

"this is not ocd, it’s called doing the job correctly. ",
"How do they normally look?",
"no offense, but housing wiring is not even the same kind of thing as industrial control wiring like these panels. i've been doing industrial electronics and machine controls for nearly 20 years now. you can *try* to just mess with one breaker at a time, but tracing a wire through this crap with everything tied together tightly with no labeling means you have to tear it all apart and follow individual wires by hand. with it tied up like this that may mean disconnecting things just so you can see where the stuff behind it goes. with no documentation or labeling i often have to disconnect a wire and put a signal into it with a cable sniffer/wire tracer and hunt the audio signal somewhere in another part of the machine just to see where it ends up, just to do it again from that point. \n\nthis is probably just one of a half dozen or more cabinets on this machine. this one just looks like power distribution. there are probably others that house all the drives, PLC/CNC controls, sensor wiring, relay logic, etc. with the amount of breakers they have in this thing, there are probably dozens of cabinets, all packed as full as this one.\n\nthis stuff typically loops around onto itself many times (especially with relay logic), often from panel to panel, out to the machine (sensors, motors, etc) and back, and with no documentation and wire labeling it is a SEVERE nightmare. \n\n",
"there is no \"panel cover\". that's a cabinet door on the left, and it looks like it has plenty of buttons and switches wired into it. i've never seen a control cabinet with a wiring diagram on it. some MIGHT have a copy of the schematics in a pocket, IF you're lucky. machine cabinets just aren't done the same way as building wiring. ",
"i do \"firefighter\" type industrial repair work. a machine goes down and your local maintenance guys can't figure it out? they can call the OEM, but not all OEMs have field technicians, or might not even be in business anymore. so they call me to fly in and take care of it. i hardly ever get to work on anything NEW (except when doing refits). it's ALWAYS 20 year old broken down shit with no documentation. \n\nif it were easy, the company internal maintenance crew could fix it, right?",

Our last string of contracts have been overhauling chemical plant process control systems, going from fully manual control and single loop type stuff to PLC's and HMIs.

"My dick is so fucking hard right now...",
"That's not OCD. That's having pride in your work, the true tell tale mark of a true tradesmen. ",
"The wires are not numbered or labeled. There are no labels on any of the terminal strips or devices. To go back at this point and do it correctly would be expensive. Obviously, this panel builder was off in an OCD dreamland.",
"How many sets of batteries have you gone through on your tracker/tracer?",
"We usually end up getting electrical contractors to trace everything out and get it landed into our new panels. We're mostly design and programming, thankfully. Most of our work is out of country, so it's cheaper to do it that way, and our local sites have been ours long enough for us to have overhauled or outright replaced most of the controls, so we have drawings that are (semi) accurate. Most of the time, anyways. ",
"Yeah but why bother when you can just put on your cape, fly in and fix it? We get OT cause you our only hope Obi and you get all of the glory. \n\n- guy on second shift who fixes what you did on days ;)",
"This is the right answer. If there are no labels, and you have to figure out where the cables run, all this nice and tidy setup is actually making it harder to service. There are better ways than this to make it look nice whilst also being easy to service and modify.",
"we dont do shifts. when we come in, we work until its fixed. we might take 15 min to scarf down a vending machine sandwich from your breakroom, or to sleep for a couple hours in the rental car if we've been up for a day or three, but we dont stop at 5, like OEM techs often do.\n\ni cant wear my cape, as it could get caught in the machinery and would be unsafe, but otherwise, yeah. although its been my experience that often its the 2nd shift guys are the ones wiring AC into a DC input module and letting all the magic smoke out.",
"my last job was to retrofit a haas vm6 vertical mill and replace its dead control with a fanuc. had to replace all the drives and motors, rebuild the busted air cylinder counterweights (that someone filed with grease to the point it clogged the blow off valves and caused the orings to rupture) and create new schematics to replace the ones that the customer never had to begin with.\n\nfun fun"

"Fucking insane in person, isn't it?\n\nPEOPLE READING THIS THREAD: If you get the chance in life, visit Agra and go to the Taj. It's hard to describe what it's like to look at it in person, but photos cannot do it justice...or can they? It's almost like it *is* a photo. It just happens to be as large as the world when you're there.\n\nJust go see it -- it's incredible and you'll *never* be able to fully explain that to your friends. :P",
"My husband and I got engaged at the Taj Mahal in 2016! We went in early January and in order to beat the crowds we had to go at like 6am. It was true love, considering I’m not a morning person and I hadn’t had coffee or breakfast before he proposed. So beautiful there. ",
"There is literally a shit river running around it. Which is sad because during my grandfather's time it was clean ",
"Lovely shot.\n\nIs it safe to assume you scoped this shot out previously and then ran to it when the doors were opened? Or just lucky timing? Or layered photos with the people taken out?",
"I suspected something like that, it seems flawless",
"Beautiful. I’ve got a photo my girlfriend took printed on a canvas and hung up in my living room. Seeing it at sunrise was so good. Crazy how different the area around the Taj is from the rest of Agra. ",

"Went on a trip to India, saw Udaipur, had some dinner. Got on an overnight train to Agra, basically for the sole reason of seeing the Taj Mahal. Got sick in the middle of the night. Backwards, forwards, you name it, it was coming out. Laid up in our room feeling like I was dying while my wife, brother-in-law and father-in-law all went to see the Taj. I never got to see it.\n\nMaybe someday I'll make it back...",

It was the last leg of a pretty long trip so I was pretty tired and done with it all so standing in line for an ATM for 2 hours just to be able to withdraw $40 of rupees (max withdrawal at the time) was pretty shitty. I loved the local food but was forced to eat at Domino's and subway bc I could pay with credit card there. \n\nThat being said, Lord of the Drinks (bar) in Delhi was AWESOME and I'm sure I'll come back another time and have a better experience.",

"Haha, yeah it's beautiful. Then again so is Kerala, and Goa! Oh man, swimming in Goa, I could have stayed there forever.",
"This always looks way bigger in pictures than it actually is.",
"About 15 years ago I was traveling from Varanasi to New Delhi, and I was lucky enough to have a 12-hour layover in Agra. My grandfather, who was an engineer, it always told me that the Taj Mahal was the greatest thing he ever saw, and I was so excited to be able to experience it.\n\nAs it turns out, the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays. I did get to circumnavigate it by foot, but at some point in my life I have to get back there or I'll have a little hole in my heart that will never be filled.",
"Lack of funds, basically. All other problems exist, sure, but basically, there simply isn't enough money in the country for proper functioning of all systems.",
"I was there with my parents in 1967 and here is what a typical visit to the Taj Mahal [looked like back then](http://i.imgur.com/Ky6DBs3.jpg). Even when they had an opportunity to return, they didn't because of the crowds. The real world hug of death, I suppose.\n\nTaken on Ektachrome film and the slides were pretty badly degraded by the time I got to digitize Dad's old picture.",

Every other day of the week, getting up at 8 in the morning feels like peeling my own skin off. ",

"Edit: reread your reply, the framing was good, the sun was not kind when I tried to get the same shot. The rest of my reply is not on point but I leave it here for continuity.\n\nAs I only went their once, I can only comment on that time, I got front, both sides and the back with no others in the shot.\n\n There were other people there but not masses, the locals I did see seemed to make a point of trying to get into any shot I had lined up for some reason.\n\n Some even made a point to stop and chat, moving into each shot as I framed up. It was mildly frustrating but seemed to amuse them no end.",

"The little flowers inside made with glass from diff parts of the world are also outside. \n\nI also saw the workers and the family who have been making them for years. \n\nThey pretty much started working when we showed up and stopped when we left ;)\n\nIt's quite magnificent from afar but as I approached it I was less overwhelmed. The river next to it looked like a glazed mirror with all the pollution and dead bodies dumped constantly in it. \n\nHalf of one face was yellow and other white. Apparently they started cleaning it for Obama visit but he canceled as Saudi king died and 2 years later it was still left like that. Half done. Shameful tbh. Indians have less regard and respect for not only their surroundings (filthy everywhere ) but also for the history. Really not much regard for lots of things. \n\nPrice was another bullshit. Rs 1000 for non Indians and Rs 50 for indians. Imagine we do that. Visitor rate is diff. They'll be the first to cry. Sure economics of countries are diff but one rate is non-discriminatory. Lots of racist type discrimination there. \n\nSaw women get pushed around and kids slapped etc. Right there. People just aimlessly wander about or loiter with nothing to do, people making fun of visitors (I speak Hindi so easily understood them) and just generally a total lack of regard for the govt or system.\n\nBased on all this the experience was sullied.",
"What camera do you prefer? ",
"Wow, it sounds like your experience was much different from mine. I suppose a lot of the disparity would have to do with the fact I was a young teenager when I went there, so I was seeing the monument through young, naive eyes. \n\nI did see a lot of poverty while I was there, and constant scam artists (especially at Agra now I think about it) which was eye opening for me at the time. Despite all this though, I still found this wonder to be, well, wonderful. I guess I must find the time to revisit again now I'm older and (I hope) wiser. \n\nThank you for your insight! ",

It isn't ideal for bacteria to kill it's host either, hence why the majority of bacteria live harmlessly in and around us.\n\nThat's worst viruses to cope with are zoonautic, meaning they have incidentally developed the ability to cross species due to a number of fortuitous evolutionary experiences and responses.\n\nThe flu is a great example of this. It's such a bitch to deal with because it is able to move between various animals like birds and pigs and people, and as a result is poorly calibrated for human hosts. Since there's so many host types for the virus to cross to, it mutates seasonally to forms which are increasingly alien to our bodies.\n\nA poorly calibrated virus does one of two things, it either dies immediately (and thus is not a problem) or kills its host in a rapid and terrifying way. These are precisely the kinds of weird-ass viruses virologists are scared of, because they lie dormant in an area after wiping everything out, only to be stumbled upon later.\n\nThis is what Ebola is.

"Am I the only one who seems to think that those launch pads are awfully close to the surface buildings?\n\nOne bad launch or landing and liberal amounts of shrapnel will likely depressurize quite a few nearby buildings, as well as likely trash the nearby boosters.",
"This has never seemed to me to be a realistic representation. Maybe it's just intended to be symbolic, like the models in a simulation game. The position of the rockets alone is implausible. You would never have these launch/landing pads so close to exposed habitation, or so close to each other. And such elaborate exposed surface architecture is unlikely.\n\nPractical space settlement architecture is actually quite likely to be physically simple, made of simple local materials, in simple massive forms. It has to be relatively simple because it's going to be built mostly by remotely operated robots, not human hands. Excavated complexes, dug out of natural rock (if not based on natural caves and lava tubes), is the simplest approach and may be common, though dependent on providential location of suitable rock outcroppings or stable near-surface strata. Where this isn't found, bermed built-up mostly-windowless shell structures of some type of regolith-derived concrete (regolete) will be the norm, and likely often combined with the excavated structures. These will likely be the convention on every natural body in the solar system. Wherever we go, they're going to be similar to this. \n\nIf you want to see a realistic analog to a space settlement, just look at the [Kansas City Subtropolis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1YDufouqbY)\n or [have a look at the greenhouses of Japan's Grin Grin Park](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTNXL42eOLQ) and imagine them with artificial or fiber optic lighting rather than skylights. These asymmetrical domes were made with a technique called mound-formed shell construction that was previously used to make underground aircraft hangars and bunkers during WWII. Mounds of gravel are sculpted into the desired shell shapes then covered in layers of reinforced concrete and earth. The gravel is then dug out for reuse elsewhere, leaving a cave-like hollow behind. In space these would be pressurized by deploying inflatable skins or applying interior layers of impermeable materials like fiber reinforced epoxy. There are many possible variations on this. ESA's recent 'moon village' concept uses inflatable forms supporting a kind of 3D printing of regolete on its surface by small tele-robots. Other concepts call for unsupported shell 'printing' by much larger robots. \n\nSuch monolithic habitat superstructures can't be physically modified too much, so they have to be designed to accommodate frequent adaptive reuse through interior retrofit by being as big and as simple in shape as possible when first built. So the critical question of living in space is how to use interior design to live well and comfortable in such large mostly-windowless spaces when you are living indoors perpetually. A likely approach is the cultivation of 'interior outdoors'. Strive for the largest spans possible and dedicate large internal areas to gardens so as to create a naturalistic environment with a hierarchy between personal/private dwellings and public space while also aiding life-support through Living Machine garden systems. Initially compelled to cohousing/cohabitation, they may borrow the organization of Bath England's famous 'circuses' or the 'Hakka houses' of China. \n\nContrary to typical representations, dwellings in space will not seem so high-tech because they will depend on simple fabrication and assembly and what small scales of industry with low levels of energy can do with simple materials, often relying on farming as a primary industrial process. So, most-likely, your home in space is going to have more in common with traditional Japanese architecture and the products of today's student Fab Labs than Star Trek, with a lot of organic materials like wheatboard, pressboard, fabrics, paper, maybe bamboo, and plant-derived thermoplastics. Don't be surprised to see Arabian 'majlis' and Thai 'morn kwan' furniture or analogs to tatami mats on the floors and walls of Martian homes! \n\nAs much as I dislike criticizing people's dreams because I know how precious they are, Elon Musk doesn't seem to have a plan or vision for _being_ on Mars, only _going_ there. And the very same thing can be said of the other New Space entrepreneurs as well as the space agencies. Even SciFi is complicit! They really haven't yet tried to show us any truly contemporary and plausible visions of life in space (really taking into account what ISRU means in a lifestyle context), in part because they're hung-up on a heroic space adventure narrative. Always space is presented to us as a dangerous wilderness where special people endure great hardships and engage in death-defying feats for our supposed collective benefit. I find that hackneyed narrative very depressing because there's no room for us regular folks in that universe. There's no role for us but being an audience cheering and waving pennants outside the space center fence. The manned spaceflight business is really just The Life Aquatic--which is why I often think Wes Anderson should make a space film. If we're really going to live in space, we have to start normalizing it and arrive at some plausible vision of The Good Life there, because that's ultimately the only reason anyone in their right mind ever goes to live anywhere.\n",
"TL;DR - This art is not a realistic blueprint. It's art. It's meant to get people excited about the concept far more than [a realistic depiction](https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/pia18614-main_sol3786b_l257atc.jpg) would.

But point is, it's waaaay cheaper.\n\n**Edit**: 140,700lbs is actually the capability if they don't reuse the rocket. If they save all three boosters, it's 18,000 lbs.

Making a *much* happier and thus more productive society. Imagine nobody giving a shit about their hair, they're just happy and don't mind either way--they adapt productively to the change of losing it.\n\nConsider that finding a solution to keeping/regrowing hair seems like the \"push the dirt under the rug\" solution. Ideally, we'd like everyone to be more secure, and psychotherapy is one of the most consistent solutions for that right now. But maybe that's just a dreamy solution? Psychotherapy and brain science has a long way to go after all (despite its exponential progress in recent decades).\n\nJust a disclaimer in case this is seen as dramatic: I'm not saying people who don't take hair loss well *need* therapy, as much as I'm trying to say that with such a perspective, there's room for improvement, and mental assistance can and does help with that (hell, even just talking with family/friends can substitute as an effective therapy for stuff like that). So if psychotherapy was mainstream and streamlined, you could just pop in for a quick session occasionally and reap the benefits of a professional helping you cope and turn your concerns into, well, non-concerns. But right now, unfortunately, it's sometimes a huge deal to get effective psychotherapy, particularly referring to the stigma it has which promotes hesitation to taking advantage of it, even for small issues (as opposed to hardcore mental illness, for example).

You may be right as much as you may be wrong. Maybe they did a dissertation on that idea and could soundly argue for it, who knows? Even if they were wrong it isn't necessarily a naive claim.\n\nNow personally I'd argue education reform and climate change is tied for my most important things we can be doing right now (education reform is tied because I'm not sure we can combat climate change without it). Maybe hard AI makes it a three way tie, considering the possibility that we're just screwed and will never reform education and/or combat climate change whereas hard AI probably could.\n\nBut space tech, especially in regard to mass public travel/terraform prototyping, is certainly up there. Now personally I'd be curious to how someone defends it as the most important thing, but I just think it's somewhat outlandish to reduce such claim to mere naivete. I can conceive of pretty decent arguments in favor for that claim off the top of my head, so someone who has thought about it deeper could surely provide some interesting debate for it--*especially* if it isn't a standalone defense but rather a comparative claim to other important things, like climate change and education reform. I'd be curious to brainstorm how space tech is more important than those, despite my own doubts. \n\nYou've got an important choice yourself to make, in regards to reddit. Do you want to respond to comments focusing on how naive they are and how much they make you cringe? Or would it perhaps be more productive to respond to comments and promote constructive discourse? We don't need to flat shut down the idea of space tech being the most important thing and patronize the thought. We can just simply use it for an interesting talking point and possibly ask the person who suggested it for further elaboration, and for others to chime in? While these two approaches aren't mutually exclusive, it seems better overall to solely stick to the latter approach. \n\n*(Although I will go far enough to suggest that bad ideas do deserve criticism and, in dramatic enough scenarios, deserve shunning and ridicule. But I'm not so sure how quickly I would lump their claim in that category. If you feel that way though, I'd have expected a more substantive rebuttal from your comment).* ",

Making small numbers of luxury cars is one thing; delivering large numbers of reliable cars on time is something else entirely. \n\nTruthfully, I don't understand Amazon's or YouTube's business plans or health. It seems to me that Amazon's is very strong and not really at risk of collapsing; they could turn a profit whenever they want, but are still trying to expand into becoming \"the next Walmart\". YouTube's financials make less sense to me, but they seem to essentially have a monopoly in that market and are a multi-billion dollar business. If they can only loss a little money or break even, that'd definitely be a good investment. Lots of room for expansion into different kinds of media here also.\n\nTesla is not completely different. They could probably turn a profit if they wanted to, and are looking to expand into a lucrative market. I guess it breaks down to the likelihood of success, how far they've come, and how far they have to go. I guess to me Youtube and Amazon have already made it into the mass market in a way Tesla hasn't. I'm very skeptical of Tesla's ability to turn into a mass market auto company. You kinda have to evaluate each business individually. I wouldn't say I'm betting against Tesla, but they have their work cut out for them. Do you really think Amazon or Youtube have as much to prove?",

Besides, the point of the comparison is that Musk gets all the attention like he’s some sort of nerd messiah, yet it’s all his employees (that he apparently works like dogs) that do all the work and give shape to his ideas. I’ve yet to see a concept of Elon’s that wasn’t a super obvious ‘what-if’ floating around in the public consciousness of the last two decades, having been discussed independently by everyone from engineers at a watercooler to technophiles who subscribe to Popular Mechanics. It’s his employees that work the miracles to realise those ideas, just as it was at Apple, and you don’t hear a peep about those overworked teams. You might be able to argue Musk is doing more good for the world than Jobs ever did, but he’s going about it the same way. He projects himself as the face of the company/ies in the same way. He’s lionised by the media in the same way. \n\nPeople defend it because he’s doing good for the world so what is there to criticise? Well, that’s a fair point, but this is out and out celebrity worship. You have to at least acknowledge that. This really isn’t different from how people adored Steve Jobs...like, at all. \n\n",

But anything strange pulls me back into the mindset that I'm driving a 2 ton rolling weight with only electric potentiometers telling the wheels where to point or how much throttle I'm supplying.

"> I’m a little lost why Tesla needs to be a mass market auto company to be a success? I’m not really knowledgeable about the economics of car manufacturers but why couldn’t they be a smaller company and still be a success?\n\nIn a way it doesn't, it depends on your definition of success and victory conditions. Musk and Tesla are trying to hit the mass market, and they're being compared to the big auto companies. If your definition of success is rivaling the big automakers, Tesla has a long way to go. \n\n> Is it because the largest car manufacturers will eventually push them out of the market?\n\nNo it's more that one is way easier than the other. Producing an affordable car at scale on time is not an easy goal to achieve. There's different challenges, and real economic impediments to getting there. It's not something you can just turn on. I've heard it said that even the big manufacturers will keep unprofitable models around, because if they kill them, they'll likely never get back. The auto industry gets flack for mediocrity, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in a car. Affordable, available, reliable, and safe aren't sexy things, but are desirable in a car. Probably the biggest thing is the scale and cost of large scale automotive projects. Lots of capitol is needed, perfect execution is required, and mistakes are very costly.\n\nI'm far from an expert, but that's my understanding. Even Musk said early on that he was basically guaranteed to fail. Tesla has beat the odds by staying around and being relevant, but they have a long way to go the achieve their goal of bringing electric cars to the masses.",

"The 'going for it anyways' and the need for a heavy-lift rocket of some sort due to a number of contracts probably indeed push it over the fishing line... That being said, Musk is really adherent to avoiding the 'Sunk Cost Fallacy' as much as possible... When they realized that their BFR will be an entirely different system to landing Dragon, they canceled Red Dragon, and also found the cost and time to man-rate landing the Dragon propulsively to be too much, and canceled that too- also in favor of BFR... They've looked into trying to re-use the 2nd stage, but because it costs so little (comparatively) to make relative to the rest of the rocket, and the fact that re-usibility would take up too much of a % of the margin for the actual payload just means that though it's on the backburner of sorts, it's unlikely to ever happen- once again, they've found a better way with BFR- and even then they're still finishing some design work and are willing to change things up if they find something works better... It makes them a far more agile company compared to 'old space' and especially NASA- which truly is deep in 'sunk cost' fallacy with SLS.... ",

We can get to the moon, but the most we can do with that technology is make some shitty internet and take pictures of stuff? Like, I'm sure the pictures are super cool to some people.

What happened since then that caused everything to just be so much less cool?\n\n\nNow, SpaceX comes in and they just blow my entire world apart. Super powerful rocket, significantly cheaper to operate, reusable rockets, and there's a fucking car orbiting the sun. This is what I've been longing for. We're at a point where we can just deliver a car to the fucking sun. Or anywhere else in the solar system. \n\n\nIt isn't consumer level space travel yet, but it makes it feel like it could happen. Everything else has been about space and taking space things to space to do whatever stupid stuff space stuff does. But this launch was different. It marked the first real solid steps towards getting people like me into space - physically. It was progress towards not just *utilizing* space, but making it our bitch. Taking it from this big scary unknown and turning it into a place that cars belong. A place where humans belong. And *that* excites me. ",

Science? Resource extraction? Energy production? Military projects?

(PayPal isn't too great actually, but what it's trying to be is good for, you guessed it, the world.)\n\njesus christ, i didn't think i would see anyone *praise* Paypal today. it's better than the previous options were but that's an incredibly low bar to clear. judging companies by the ideal they advertise is a really dumb thing to do. actions not words lol\n",
"does your mom know you’re being mean on reddit?",
"Okay, but while we still are into cars for everyone, I'd rather those cars be electric. They're not aiming to be luxury cars. Model 3 is from $35,000. I see Teslas every day already, and I'm not in a rich area. And the benefit from making electric cars cool shouldn't be ignored.\n\nI edited right after I posted, space exploration is also going to be cheaper if rockets are reusable, that may appeal to you more. \n\nSpace exploration drives tech development on earth that can be used in unexpected ways, like memory foam, MRIs, and smoke detection. It creates jobs. It lets us find out more about the universe, which is an intangible positive that's huge to me. It will eventually let us spread our wings and increase our living area, which will help when we either keep increasing our population or, more likely, fuck up and make the Earth uninhabitable. It'll produce scientific discoveries that we can't produce anywhere else.\n\nAgain, PayPal is not great. But it's something, and it's definitely helped hundreds millions of people with their business. And potentially better competitors which possibly wouldn't have arisen (Zelle for example) are now rising in the money transfer field.\n\nAlso, he's making space travel and business interesting and fun for kids watching by doing stuff like the car and selling the flamethrowers, which will hopefully make them more interested in the subjects of science and entrepreneurship in general. He's showing how fun starting your own business can be, and how successful you can potentially be from it.\n\nHe's just done so many cool fucking things that impact people in positive ways, I don't feel like the hate (from a minority of people, mind you) is anything more than pure concentrated salty contrarianism because he's popular right now.",

"If we don't want SpaceX colonizing Mars themselves then we should have NASA do it, and the cheapest way to do that would be to use the BFR. Musk already said NASA would get priority.\n\nI get why you are worried about exploitation by private enterprise but I guess I'm just willing to take that risk if it means we actually get to Mars in my lifetime. I think humanity is at a point when it comes to space exploration where you can go left or you can go right, but you just gotta make a decision. And we've been stuck ruminating over Mars for decades rather than actually making a decision... It's time to just fucking do it, and SpaceX is actually fucking doing it.\n\n>It's about, at the very least, not allowing the very worst excesses of capitalism to also corrupt the space exploration process.\n\nBut of all the companies to do something like this, SpaceX can't be among the very worst. They underpay their employees, which I really don't like, but that's pretty run-of-the-mill when it comes to business nowadays. The mere fact that SpaceX exists and is shooting for Mars is enough to say they're not the worst, because a smart billionaire would never invest in something like this if all they cared about was money.\n\nAnd our democracy has it's ugly excesses too. Just look at how expensive the shuttle was because it had to be built and tested in several different states to satisfy elected officials. And look at how expensive SLS is and how long it's taking because we, the people, don't seem to give a fuck about space exploration. Maybe SpaceX is the spark needed to reignite that dream of exploration, and with more funding NASA (and others) can take the helm, similar to how Tesla is a spark to accelerate electric car manufactoring from the established car companies.\n\nI'm very progressive by American standards but I just don't understand the mindset of some of those who are further left on the political spectrum. You guys act like no attempt at progress should be made until everything else is fixed, but we live in an imperfect world because we are imperfect beings and to do so would be paralyzing. I'd rather take what I can get, and that's why I like what SpaceX is doing because they're making progress instead of just sitting on their laurels like everyone else.",

"Conventional wisdom says it costs about $10k USD to launch a pound of anything into a stable orbit. The Falcon Heavy costs about $90M, and can launch 64 metric tons (about 140k lbs), making the rough launch cost - before factoring in things like reusing early stages of the rocket - about $650/lb, or something like 15x cheaper to launch a satellite or crewed vessel. \n\nThis has loads of potential for scientific purposes, such as allowing exploration vessels to outer planets or the asteroid belt to be larger and have more sophisticated tools than ever before, and also humanitarian ones. This weekend SpaceX is due to launch a couple of preliminary testing satellites intending to be the groundwork for a global satellite internet network. \n\nThe potential to provide high speed internet access to the entire globe would be an absolutely phenomenal breakthrough.

",
"These deepfakes are getting pretty good...",
"That's an utter crock. As someone who works in the tech industry, I can tell you that talent is not a rare commodity. You might get a rare genius individual who's five or ten times faster than the rest, but really, on the scale of a big modern company, that's nothing.\n\nWhat's rare is when a confluence of new technologies comes together and the price point of already available tech drops low enough for mass adoption by existing large capital conglomerates, usually at that point there'll be a few hundred guys waiting in the wings ready to supply this new tech at the new commercially viable price point, and the industry will consolidate around one of those guys, pretty much at random.\n\nMost people have bills and can't afford to wait around with one of these future techs waiting for the price to drop in a company that has a 99% chance of going bust, in the hope you'll be the one chosen. It's how VC works, you buy 100 companies, 90 of them will lose you money, 9 will break even and one will make bank. That's why these lotto winners are almost invariably young guys with no responsibilities, because it's an enormous gamble that you will be the company chosen out of the 100 competitors, who are all going to go bust.\n\nAll the early tech billionaires are almost exactly the same age. That's not a coincidence. That's when the infrastructure and surrounding manufacturing matured to the point the tech became affordable, it's not because we suddenly birthed a bunch of guys who had ideas no one had ever thought of before because they were too stupid to see it. Everyone in the know saw it coming, but it wasn't affordable until they came along.\n\nWhat's unusual about Musk is he's willing to gamble most of his winnings on new ventures, whereas most billionaires just stuck it in the markets, skim off 40 million a year interest and work on a risk free pet project.\n\nThat doesn't change the fact that this is survivorship bias in action and what's different about him from a hundred thousand other tech guys is his lotto ticket came in.",
"Bring me the priest.",
"is it possible for Elon to come to own like a 2% stake in Mars?",
"Now who has stones?",
"So it all clearly started with him growing up super rich then correct? I mean he had to have the funding to start his first company and then continue doing it like twenty times in a row successfully.\n\nIt's ok not to like the guy for whatever reason (I'd honesty be interested who it is you are impressed with and moreso why you hate Elon Musk so much) but to claim he just got lucky every single time, and that there were hundreds of guys just like him waiting in the wings evey single time he took another venture public or made another success (or dispute and didn't let it stop him) and that he just happened to be the lucky one evey. Single. Time. Out of literally hundreds of big times is total bullshit. Of course his work is based on also hiring some of the brightest minds in the industry and working with them to create something amazing, of course being risky and reinvesting eveything into risky projects is part of it, but to claim he just lucked out every single time is such trash. You're right that talent is just one part of a much larger picture, but those talents of knowing who to work with and hire, the risks to take and then to take them, seeing trends years into the future, and risking eveything to take a chance on them are just as valuable. By this token you'd absolutely better think Steve Job's career was total luck and he was a hack as well (I assume you do). \n\nWhat bothers me is when someone genuinely does something amazing and inspiring. Putting a rocket into space you would have to admit not anyone on the street can do, let alone any of his other accomplishments, and then some guy who I can safely assume has never done anything close to that in his life (I'm not saying you aren't accomplished or smart) but they watch everyone genuinely get excited, doesn't like that they get excited thinks they are wrong for liking that guy and says \" this is bullshit\". This guy is bullshit and you're all. Stupid for being excited about something as cool as a freaking space launch.\n\nWhy such pleasure in not letting us be excited about someone? We're not hurting you. ",
"/r/Colony1 leader",
"Nonsense. He's standing on the shoulder of giants, who themselves would never have investigated space in the first place were it not for collective public funding (and military anxiety).\n\nYour anti-government skew is unreasonable. Spacex is currently partially funded by the US government. It's not binary, government plays a very important role, as do private endeavors and markets.",
"I don't have a problem with Musk, or with putting rockets into space or people thinking it's cool or any of that, because it clearly is.\n\nI have a problem with hero-worship, with one guy being held up as the guy who did it, when for a venture like this there's thousands of people's work went into it. \n\nI have a problem with a system that allocates absolute control over a ludicrous amount of capital and infrastructure to a single person with no democratic input whatsoever from the community. Sure, in this case, great, Musk is doing something useful. Or Bill Gates, great, he's helping people out. You don't hear about the over 2000 other billionaires in the world. What kind of misallocation of resources is going on there?\n\nSure, his first venture took talent, but mostly a shit load of luck. But you don't understand just how much power and market shaping influence having that much capital at your disposal gives you, it becomes almost impossible to lose money once you have that much accumulated already.\n\nSurvivorship bias is real. People assume some billionaire hedge fund guy must be a genius, when statistics will show you that given a few million utterly identical traders, all gambling pretty much at random on the stock market, at least one of them is going to end up a billionaire. And once he has that power accumulated, you get the ability to shape markets with a buy wall or below cost selling or monopolistic practices or whatever and making money becomes much easier. It's corrupt, and it's undemocratic, and people think they're heroes, but when you get any billionaire to talk frankly about how to reproduce their success and they'll all say - it can't be done. Yeah it requires ability and hard work, but at that level, it's mostly just circumstance and luck.",
"Not anti government. It’s proven that the government pays through the nose for items. I know this because I sell $10 flashlights to the United States army for $110 a piece. I never said he created space travel. All I’m stating is he’s created a way to carry a heavier load into space for cheaper. ",
"I can’t even begin to describe how amazing you are. Thank you ! ",
"I'd argue against you not having anything against Musk, because you're clearly so upset over us being excited about him.\n\nI will say this. I don't agree with that you say about billionaires getting there by sheer luck. Maybe if you already had a ton of money to begin with and then kicked your way into becoming president or something. Maybe. But for Musk and Jobs and such who started with nothing and time and time again came this close to bankruptcy and found a way out and then did it again and found the very best people to work for them and manage (management alone and bringing the best out of your team who is smarter than you is a huge huge skill), I will never ever believe they just lucked their way into your pocket (iPhone) or space. It's totally unbelievable to me.\n\nWhat pisses me off about you is that you clearly are angry at people choosing to be excited about someone who inspires them. Like it seriously must touch a nerve and I don't get it. I was SO excited watching that thing take off, I felt like a kid again, and I love Teslas, I think they are groundbreaking machines, and you cant allow me to enjoy that. You have to walk into the yard look me in the eye, and say \"hey you're a moron for liking this guy, he's a lucky bastard and no one should appreciate any of this\" Elon IS a hero to me, so is my father, who my heros are have zero to do with you, nor do I care that you think I'm stupid for admiring them. THAT'S my issue here. ",

"I’m a democrat and a heroin addict, and even I would have no problem with this.\n\nThere are a lot of really shitty people who do heroin. People who are in and out of jail, who manipulate and steal from everyone they can. They’ll throw needles into parks, give people used needles and tell them they’re clean.\n\nI don’t believe that jailing people for using heroin is productive. But doing heroin doesn’t give you a pass to dump medical waste in parks and completely destroy whatever public space there is.",
"People are doenvoting you but I live in the Bay Area and have heard many news stories about cops looking the other way when addicts dump piles of needles in the street. Apparently they’ll only arrest people for very extreme stuff these days.",
"I’m a junky but I actually have a good job and don’t break any laws beyond using drugs. Most junkies are scum though. When I buy drugs I avoid them like the plague. If you give them rides they’ll steal whatever they can find in your car. They’ll try to manipulate you. Steal from stores. Etc."

"It is! I'm sitting on it right now",

"Wow, I haven't seen one of those Zeller's ferris wheel things in years!\n\nI worked at Zellers in my teens, and they closed all the stores in Canada shortly after I graduated University. By the time I had anything to do with Zellers the \"Zeddy\" mascot was like this super old outdated mascot that showed up in/on old stuff like those ferris wheels, or at the few in-store restaurants there were...\n\nFor anyone outside of Canada, the best description I ever heard for Zellers while working there was; Zeller's main competition was Walmart, but Zellers wasn't Walmart's competition by any imagination =P",
"There was something similar to that at an arcade I went to as a little kid, and it was one of the highlights of my young childhood, thanks for reminding me of it!",
"Once it was K-mart, but that may have been before your time...",
"There’s still one Zellers left alive in Toronto.",
"Pics or it didn't happen.",
"It’s down at Kipling and Queens Quay"
