Modern tools are fascinating, the way you described it sounds so absurdly high tech

You might think so, and yet it's something that has actually been proven right time and time again for me. It's what people call "gut instinct". It has kept me safe, and the times when I've ignored it because of "oh it's probably a false alarm" I've come to regret later on

It sounds like woo-woo maybe, but why? You don't think that it's possible to tell if, say, someone doesn't actually care about others? If they, say, only see them as tools to be used? If you had a trump-like figure put in front of you for 5 minutes, how much would you be able to figure out in that 5 minutes? Quite a lot I'd say

So why is it unreasonable to think that you can't tell?

Plant based chips with a side of vegan tomatoes

I don't know how you got "discriminating against people based on mental disorder" from "realizing they are not a safe person"

Those are not the same things at all.

I have also the same experience as the other commenter, and I tend to get along well with people with mental health issues that are actually safe

They are also useful for maintaining orbits (like the ISS), and could potentially be useful in long duration missions such as interplanetary transfers. If it takes months to get to Mars anyway, low thrust won't matter if it means you get more total delta-v, and able to reduce the travel duration anyway, but of course this depends on the specifics

This was just a bit over 60 years ago

It's in living memory

So you unironically think they are worse than Google?

..really? I don't think you are being serious

Yes, but when it comes to weight, it really is just calories in and calories out. A healthy diet is more than that though, indeed

You can still eat junk food and not go up in weight as long as you don't overeat

Or, the first is what you want, the second is what you actually have capacity for, at least after work and chores are done

Seriously though, I saw this shit coming from a mile away, it's been dead obvious that the US had some really bad growing fundamental issues that were never going to just magically go away by themselves (I mean, hell, not just the US, but still, they were going to be the first ones, and then there's stuff like climate change..)

Why the hell do I seem to be able to figure out overarching trends better than literal professional politicians and leaders of countries? It's so immensely infuriating

Just that it may be radioactive dust this time

And that's the big thing that worries me. In the last world war, even in an all-out war with no holding back, there was a limited amount of damage that could be done to the world and civilization. Today? We have enough nukes to destroy human civilization a dozen times over.
