No, I get that. But it’s not anything they could realistically mine now, nor is it anything we don’t know is there too. They’re just going there to say, “hey we’re in the moon!” I say, good for them. So, what is the realistic point of landing a lunar lander there? Is it just a publicity stunt? Are they just trolling us? And what is the usefulness of that?
I guess it’s just a propaganda stunt, and I guess I understand that from a Chinese perspective. 
Beijing can see my furry batch. I’m proud I don’t shave. They can also read my sad text that I am struggling with losing weight. I’m sure Pooh bear will be riveted with that thrilling journey. 
OK, I didn’t make my comment absent of thinking what you just explained, and I get that China thinks this and that the US is being gamed into thinking this, too, but again I ask what is the realistic end game of this? Is it all political Brinksmanship? Because the realistic goal of this is kind of stupid. I mean you see this right?
This is silly. Isn’t it? Am I wrong with this? 
I’m not trying to waste your time here, and I’m just trying to figure out if this is more than just a bunch of dick waving.
I think you answered my question. Thank you for your time.
why? is something special there that we have to get to first?
I understand why we should go there, just not why being first matters so much. we’ve already been there, so, it’s not like it’s really the first time.
"So, how did you two meet?"
"He spent 2 years on a linux support forum helping me fix and nVidia driver issue. we've been married for 6 years this March."
spiffy! thanks for your hard work!
oh, i see. how interesting.
for a moment, it sounded as though you might be writing a book, so i thought i'd ask.
what are you working on, btw?
what i meant, other than lamenting the failed promises of the Soviet State, is, like you, we've known this shit for a long time but have yet to apply it in any meaningful way to our societies.

yeah, lots of "shoulds" in that quote...
something that drives me crazy is how people believe that cops have much of anything to do with "cutting crime". they don't. they react to crime that has already occurred by investigating/pursuing/arresting criminals.
crime prevention comes down to preventing the circumstances which lead people to commit crimes in the first place, and 9 times out of 10, that's poverty. of course, nobody wants to deal with that...

i'm using safari on macOS, and i've had pretty good luck with Ad Guard Pro. when i get the adblock warning, i switch my user agent. when that doesn't work, deleting my cookies usually does the trick.
approprié: “Sad fate! he would enter into sanctity only in the eyes of God when he returned to infamy in the eyes of men.”
inapproprié: “To be granite and to doubt! To be the statue of Chastisement cast in one piece in the mould of the law, and suddenly to become aware of the fact that one cherishes beneath one's breast of bronze something absurd and disobedient which almost resembles a heart! To come to the pass of returning good for good, although one has said to oneself up to that day that that good is evil! To be the watch-dog, and to lick the intruder's hand! To be ice and melt! To be the pincers and to turn into a hand! To suddenly feel one's fingers opening! To relax one's grip,—what a terrible thing!”
This might be the dumbest thing he could’ve done. The judges are going to freak out about this, and just say no. That one judge, during questioning, was like, are you fucking kidding me?

DS9 and Homestar Runner were nearly contemporaneous. They missed each other by, like, a year...
