Has that guy got moobs? I hate to body shame, but that would be so on brand.

I think the D.D. stands for Double Ds.

Between the post and some of the comments, I'm pretty sure we're on the worst time.

At least, the worst surviving timeline. I'm sure plenty of "worse" timelines have existed that killed off the entirety of the planet.

This is just the worst of what's left.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The one where we all die is the good timeline, we are going for the torture nexus timeline.

Whoa, whoa. How dare this uppity woman talk like that to Dr. Bradley D. D. Wentworth, PhD., an internationally renowned expert on footballogy and beeristics? His accolades include frequent beating of his wife, a penchant for racial slurs, and living in a trailer down by the river.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Beeristics sounds like an awesome field, too bad Brad is in it.

[–] notgold@aussie.zone 1 points 21 hours ago

I was thinking some kind of beer calisthenics but then realised that the Brad bod wouldn't support that

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Don't take this the wrong way but from the list of achievements she sounds very much a Politician/PR-person/Lobbyist specialized in the area of Space Exploration, not an Engineer or a Scientist.

Still beats Beer-belly Brad by a long distance (probably not hard), but is such a person really worth celebrating in Science Memes?

[–] Liz@midwest.social 48 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Here's the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it's worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn't understand the magnitude of what he's asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.

As long as these types pay attention to what the scientists tell them and explain it to others accurately, they're helpful

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago

Certainly more than "arm chair Monday morning quarter backing"

[–] parrhesia@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Just because she isn't a straight engineer or scientist, doesn't make her expertise less worth it I don't think. And I would think that would make a very narrow acceptable requirements for this place.

Elon actually hands these out to people who don't want them because they were unpopular and an easy means of telling chuds apart from... uh, chads? There's a good chance hers is a forced advertisement and not something she's actually paying for.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Still means she's on Twitter.

So are an insanely large amount of people.

I don’t think people on here realise that we are in an echo chamber ourselves and often times not very forgiving of people with differing opinions, where I would assume we should want to bring people to our point of view by being accepting and trying to educate on our beliefs.

So in this echo chamber of what 50K MAUs it can sometimes be hard to keep sight of the fact we are the smallest of minorities in this space and what we see is absolutely not a representation of what most people in the world care about.

I’ve never used Twitter but I’m not going to shit on other people for using it.

Were you on Reddit when they had loads of jailbait subs? Would you like to labelled as part of that same group just because you shared the same space?

Does it not seem reasonable that some people might use Twitter as a means to keep in the loop and not isolate from the crazies, Nazis, bigots or whatever. You can’t converse with the other side if you ain’t where they are at and if we all stay in our own echo chambers what are we really achieving other than a self-righteous circle jerk?

To be abundantly clear I am including myself in this too and not just calling you out. But this place is exhausting at times, I am the most cynical person I know and this place really gives me a run for my money at times. Even in the less serious stuff, like you can’t oppose Linux here you’ll be downvoted to shit for even having a different opinion. You have to use FOSS everything, and you should even be eating open source food 😂

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

tl;dr, but I still think displaying mild disgust at anyone who uses twitter today is the correct reaction

Tbf the Forbes 30 Under 30 is a great predictor of future jail time.

Ah just some blue check degenerates having a slap fight in the Nazi bar. Yawn.

[–] echo@lemmings.world 132 points 2 days ago

Get the fuck off of xitter... it harms your credibility.

"What have you done that's so great other than be an arm chair Monday morning quarterback?", asked the arm chair Monday morning quarterback

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Arm chair Monday morning quarterback is giving him way too much. Arm chair Monday morning waterboy is more like it.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 122 points 2 days ago (18 children)

Dude should just delete his account in a form of internet Harakiri at that point.

No... Let 'em burn.

I want Brad so emotionally scarred that every time he goes to tweet some bullshit he has a depression inducing anxiety attack so overwhelming that he has to find the nearest corner to go cry in until exhaustion.

[–] MidWestKhagan@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 day ago

This is why I’m not on twitter, she shouldn’t have to defend herself and explain herself to that degree. People can be so toxic that on a game like marvel rivals I was absolutely dog shit at because my chat and voice chat were always visible, once I muted everything, I am suddenly reaching Gold II in a couple days. Be where you are wanted instead of jumping into the snake pit where you know exactly the opinions and beliefs of those snakes, there’s nothing to gain, fascists are fascists, what more can they build on than opinion and beliefs?

Man... I don't envy the person who has to clean up that man-shaped puddle after he just up and melted.

Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can't you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?

[–] clockworkstone@discuss.tchncs.de 50 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Bro, you can buy the presidency of the United States if you have enough money. So yeah, not what she did, but it is completely posible.

Wait a minute ... "Forbes 30 under 30 " ?? hmmm

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Can't be long before she's arrested for fraud.
