Comment Re:Soviets had some nice "firsts" (Score -1) 44

The N-1 was an abject failure, without cryofuels it could only carry air into orbit. The design was overly complex and it failed, failed, failed, and failed again, while the Saturn V never failed once. Not once. The Soviet owed all of their success to Sergei Korolev, to the point that not only the space program revolved around him and a lot of his own pet visions, but once he died they were pretty much lost in space. Meanwhile having won the Moon Race, the US winded down which was a mistake.

Europe is not about freedom, but about conformity. The European mindset is: "I think and act like my neighbours and as the government mandates, therefore I'm safe and good." The average european marches down the streets with banners and arms raised when it's told do, and does not march down the streets with banners and arms raised when it's told not to. The average european heils the sieg when it's told to, and does not heil the sieg when it's told not to. The average european engages in untermenschextermienierung when it's told do, and does not engage in untermenschextermienierung when it's told not to. Europeans are like this. Believe me, I live among them and they're quite a scary bunch.

You know, one day you will understand that endlessly quoting an old movie based on a lame novel by a vastly overrated writer who had the writing skills of a 13 years old (his writing is extremely cringe) trying in turn to cash in on the success of a movie that was revolutionary in 1968 but is now just a note on Kubrick's career (he did vastly better things) does not make you seem intelligent or cultured. It's just irritating, like a little kid repeating the same stuff to sound important. When that realization will hit you, it will dawn on you how much of a waste your existence is and you will want to end it. Being a nerd you will fail and the sorry malformed pathetic remains of you will lay screaming and hollering on a hospital bed for decades.

Usually it does. They're ugly, smelly, socially inept and annoying at the very least. Banning them from any event had never been a detriment and is usually a net positive. Nothing of value is ever lost. Some quaint media depictions notwithstanding, nerds are not tech geniuses and are at best average in the tech-savvy area. Real technical professionals are easy-going, well-mannered and socially genial. By all means ban the abhumans from any social event and let them simmer in their powerless rage. They can foam at the mouth, tap their little feet and shake their pudgy fists but they're no threat. If they get too noisy, just pepper-spray them in the eyes and baton them until they start crying, then laugh at them.
