  • The Z axis adds more than just a direction. Thrust, Lift, Stalls, Icing, Wind, Clouds, Precipitation, Temperature, Humidity, Radios, Communication, Flight Planning…

    Car manufacturers got really good at adding crumple zones to cars to avoid injury to their occupants. Car design knows to avoid putting the fuel tank in places that could cause it to combust. What crumple zone can a flying taxi have that protects you from hitting the Earth during a stall? Where can they put the fuel such that it doesn’t explode on impact with just about anything?




  • Any argument that the voters themselves are wrong is an indictment of democracy itself.

    That’s a lot of words you seem to be putting in my mouth there friend. These aren’t mutually exclusive ideas. I can blame voters for not showing up to the polls and still see the value in a democratic government.

    If Palestine is getting bombed no matter what happens, the only voters who are coming out are the ones who want Palestine bombed.

    And I thought I had the hot take, holy shit. This is simultaneously an argument to disenfranchise ourselves from the democratic process AND the assumption that those who did participate in the electoral process, regardless of their actual beliefs, are automatically pro-genocide. I’m actually astounded that this is your argument. This is a greater rejection of democracy than anything I said. It’s insane.
