When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
Posting guidelines.
All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.
Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.
• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.
• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.
• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.
• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.
• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.
• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

While its an amazing burn it will have zero effect on the iq 0 luddite that posted it.
It's not for them
It's for us
I have a small collection of these 'you don't know who I am' replies. This one is my favorite:
Lmfao
Make it its own post!
He didn't answer the question though. Anyone can write the wire, but to truly see it? Now that's something else.
But how could she do science and engineering if she’s a lady!
Sick burn. Cheers to her.
She's awesome. Really needs to get off Twitter, though.
The D. D. in his name stands for "Disastrous Dunce"
I think the truth is even funnier, Doctor of Divinity. Mr. useless doctorate thinks he can tell people to stay in their lane without even looking at a person’s bio before telling them to shut up.
DD is probably his bra size
Absolutely assblasted.
Forbes 30 under 30? 😬
Honestly, I never read the Forbes in my life. Not once. So I can't juge positively or negatively.
In recent years, the Forbes 30 under 30 has included Caroline Ellison, Sam Bankman-Fried, Martin Shkreli, Charlie Javice, Chris Bakke, and Elizabeth Holmes, all of whom have been very publicly charged with fraud. Somebody did the math and discovered that the 30 under 30 have collectively defrauded investors of more than four times what they've raised legally.
Forbes also named Silicon Valley Bank as the best in America in 2023, five days before it imploded and caused the second largest bank collapse in US history.
Honestly, I never read the Forbes in my life.
You are smarter and more well-informed for it.
haha, awesome metric of bullshit:)
It's honestly kind of impressive. How does one publication manage to be so exactly wrong about that many topics?
It's Forbes, it's hypercapitalist. Those people you listed are actually successful from forbes' pov. After all, they got rich and got out. (Caveats like Holmes et al, but also real stallar performance from silicon valley bank).
Sure, but they didn't get away with it. That's a key step for the late-stage capitalist; getting caught is like not sticking the landing.
TIL. Thanks.
It doesn't mean she's definitely a hypercapitalist con-artist or nazi.
More likely, sure, but it sounds like she did a lot of work in the public space which drops the chance of Nazi down significantly and con artist down to....hold up, which year was this?
Space Force didn't exist under Obama
30 under 30 alum also includes people like Elizabeth Holmes, Sam Bankman-Fried, Carline Ellison, and Martin Shkreli
She worked for NASA then is the obvious takeaway of "I worked for NASA and Spaceforce" under these three people
But only worked for space force for 2 people
I was working space force way before it was space force
I don't consider it an accolade, nor would I consider being on that stupid forbes list as an accolade
But only worked for space force for 2 people
If you need that level of easily implied detail spelled out in a freaking tweet, you have my sympathies
stupid forbes list as an accolade
I would. Especially for a business I started.
I wouldn't
I know how to separate my self worth from my net worth
Seems like most folk these days cannot
It's not a statement of net worth. It's a statement that she isn't completely ignorant of what she is talking about.
If a teacher in school corrected your mistake and you said, "Who are you to correct my obvious math error." , the teacher could list her jobs in math and national awards for being a math teacher.
Brad asked for her qualifications. She gave them.
You'd be insane after asking for qualifications to reply , "Well I don't brag about my awards."
NASA and Space Force work extremely closely in a vast number of capacities. There are dozens of ways she could have worked for NASA, and then had her responsibilities extend to assisting space force as well when it was created. Not sure why you desperately need to go out of your way to attack a successful woman, but it's a pretty pathetic look.
Oh, did I say something inaccurate?
Not sure why you would disagree with accurate information.
It's a pretty pathetic look.
Language is intended to convey content. Are you unable to understand what she said and need an adult to explain to you what she meant? While the wording could be less ambiguous, it does not detract from what she was trying to convey. She wasn’t posting a CV, and trying to dismiss her like this feels like you’re trying to come up with any reason to invalidate what she is saying.
Does it invalidate?
To me it corrects inaccuracies and deflates Forbes' bullshit
To what end? What is the purpose that you feel you need to correct that inaccuracy, because she did not say “A former space communications specialist with NASA and later, the U.S. Space Force” like her actual bio does, even though you, and anyone else reading, understood that context?
And with 30 under 30, it’s 1,230 people a year. It’s just a list of influential under 30 year olds across various industries. It’s going to include good and bad people. Forbes itself addresses it even: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesunder30team/2023/11/28/hall-of-shame-the-10-most-dubious-people-ever-to-make-our-30-under-30-list/
She’s someone who distills space science down to easy to consume media to the point she specialized and got a job doing it for the government, so she has credentials to be able to talk about space on social media. That’s all the more she was saying.
Cool. Glad I was able to help her say it more accurately
Taking credit for a woman’s words…
It would be more accurate regardless of sex
I'm not the one making it about that
Pathetic
