Making a murderer is all you have to see to know this is the truth. I feel so bad for that family.

Now do oligarchies mascarading as democracies next

And saying those words in jury duty will get you tossed immediately from selection lol

Fwiw I'm a gun guy who supports common sense legislation and whatever it is we are talking about here ;) not defending corpos that's for fucking sure. V for vendetta becoming a history movie would be fine with me. Also fuck uvalde cops and republicans who say "now is not the time to discuss gun laws"

Definitely, but he was the one with the campaign that was named, or became known as "the war on drugs," unless I'm tripping

I have heard of this. I remember reading once that sailing ships used hemp for their cloth because it was plentiful and durable. No idea where I saw that though

That is a bit older than Reagan, war on drugs is a Nixon thing, but I agree with the general sentiment. Fuckem both.

Gave humanity the ole switcheroo

The sentiment in question is a response to someone else being weirded out and posting it online.... No one is seeking validation lol they're asserting that it's normal.

People who act creepy and take videos or pictures of someone out doing something alone and posting it online are the weird ones.

This context should be obvious

It'll be a monument.

Every other monument we have yet made lies within the solar system. The voyager probes are humanity's first physical journey beyond our home. It's human curiousity reaching out into the cosmos for the first time. As cosmic infants walking outdoors for the first time. Even if we eventually pass them some day, they were still the first.

And even more, there are plaques on them waiting for that 1 in a trillion chance to be found by a distant alien race. Long after humanity goes extinct those plaques will endure. Even if we can see the beginning of the universe with telescopes, those telescopes are near to our planet.

The voyager probes could potentially exist in the future as the only thing outside of our solar system to prove we ever even existed....hell depending on how and when we go out, they might be the only things anywhere

edit: I forgot about pioneer. pioneer 10 and 11 were launched first but voyager 1 and 2 left the solar system first. Also there is new horizons. 5 probes total.

Pioneer probes had plaques and voyager 1 and 2 have gold records that can be played if assembled correctly by aliens. Lol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_probe#:~:text=As%20of%202024%2C%20there%20are,three%20are%20on%20interstellar%20trajectories.
