Yeah like, I can understand a hesitation around being directly involved in a war effort, but mate once you’ve opened your system up to the military you’re kinda already there.

Perhaps if we got rid of borders.
Edit: I guess people didn't see his username.
I will note, while I find my namesake’s story interesting, I do quibble on the benefits of bombardment by multiple-reentry thermonuclear warheads.
So how does it feel to not have a country? To not have borders to define yourself against the world? (I guess seven nukes do make a clear border, huh?)
I believe you have the wrong psychopath in an experimental plane.
My bad, but its my duty to always reference it. (They mail me some fanta ever time I do it, which is wierd, i never gave them my address, and I'm afraid what will happen if i stop)
Mmmmm orange
Starlink is fucking fantastic, it's Elon Musk who's a sloppy Nazi cunt
It does have some downsides (orbital clutter in particular) but conceptually I agree
Orbital pollution and atmosphere pollution from the launches. All to avoid laying some fiber :/
I’d be ecstatic if ISPs laid more fiber where I live. But I’d be even happier if they laid any sort of internet cables at all to the outskirts of towns. Back where my family used to live (smaller town) there were plenty of houses on the outskirts of town that don’t have any internet unless they pay out the nose for satellite. It’s literally not worth the ISP’s money to lay any sort of cable out that way since there isn’t enough customer density for the amount of cable they’d need to lay.
The fun part is that the US tax payer already paid the ISPs to lay cable to those houses, but they just pocketed the money, didn't lay the cable, and faced no consequences.
Which is why it is the role of the government to handle that. Are there streets ? Why are there streets? They aren't worth it, right? So how come there are streets? Government can force ISP to lay the cables. "You want to lay any cable in that city? Then lay all of the cable in the region" easy
I wish. afaik in the USA, the major ISPs have been told by the government to expand internet coverage. Even got paid boatloads of money to do so. But the ISPs did jack diddly squat. So they got fined and that’s the end of the story as I know it.
I wonder if the launches produce more pollution overall than the facilities, trucks, excavators, and other equipment required to manufacture, lay, and maintain fiber.
Using something I’ve built to destroy warships before they can launch cruise missiles at an apartment block?
Now I am become death, saviour of civilian power grids.
What do you mean "my internet"?
Internet was purposely developed for military goals.
Elon-Meme 😅
Is this Oppenheimer?
Man... I see Stargate, I fucking up vote 💯
Yes!!!!!!
When the military is using your ass as a front to install military hardware in space.
Wut
I'm guessing a conspiracy that Starlink is just a cover for the US military deploying oodles of satellites for great imperialism.
