this shit is so old, but old fuck should be sucking dick and balls instead of policing how people celebrate anyway
Tbf, Homer Hickam is pretty well respected around NASA (he was the main character in October Sky). He also said in an interview later that he didn’t have any say over their internship being withdrawn, it was all the retweets with people hastagging NASA that got NASA’s people’s attention.
and to be fair all be said was “language”, he didn’t know that the OP would be replying with the receipts that would get them rejected by NASA
Idk bro I laughed 🥀
Jamie Loftus had a great interview with them. Highly recommend. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-sixteenth-minute-of-fame-172216473/episode/suck-my-dick-and-balls-i-198420059/
This should be the top comment. Great interview and great podcast
Loftus always does good stuff. My fave is her Lolita podcast which breaks down the history of its public perception. The book is a monster attack story, but told from the viewport of the monster. Using flowery language talking to a jury is explaining how it’s not that bad, and he eventually rots in prison. The self serving lies are both obvious and numerous .
But some-fucking-how most people think it’s a problematic star crossed lovers, romeo and juilet, age is just a number, forbidden romance BS. Multiple movies and stage have distorted the book into the exact thing the author was mocking.
Sorry. Random rant. But goddamn does Jamie do good work.
I haven’t read Lolita but I just started reading Pale Fire by Nobokov so it’s funny you brought that up. I have heard about Lolita getting adopted by the very creeps it intends to rebuke. I’ll have to check out her podcast on it
I find this podcaster insufferable. Can someone summarise it please?
No
Old and incorrect. She didn’t in the end and this screenshot is ancient ragebait, the only thing worse than current ragebait.
Even better, it was at the behest of homie whom she insulted. The world isn’t all doom and gloom. It’s close, but not quite there yet.
lol that’s stupid u shouldnt get fired cuz of that but always use a fake name online never use ur real name
Bizzle is my legal name so that sucks
Who would use their real name? Ha ha… Ha… Uhhhhh
Imagine the biggest fuckup of your life and it gets reposted in every social media every few weeks. it’ll follow her for life.
Imagine her grandson telling her about this funny meme he saw, and it is this again!!
Iirc the guy was chill and they still got their position
She was actually offered it back because the dude she told to suck her dick requested it.
Yoooo didn’t we leave Reddit to get away from stupid bullshit like this
So people just reply back without stalking the person’s whole life.
is this real???
Yes the bottom guy is my uncle who works at NASA
Can confirm. Source: my uncle is also a bottom guy.
what that’s crazy
Well, there are also cleaning personal working in the NASA.
Who the fuck dreams of labor?
The same people who make Art.
The same people who dream of Space.
The same people who Work Forces.
There are more stable geniuses out there with at least a modicum of social decorum who would love to have that position. 🤷
You can’t just go around talking to people that way, especially when all the other person was “Language”, and expect to be taken seriously. You’re a bit of an energetic, not properly socialized child at best (if you’re actually underage), developmentally delayed and rude at worst.
suck my dick and balls
I’m on the counsil that oversees your mom’s sexual adventures
You’re on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of motherfucker
😔
I wish the US government had at least a tenth of those high standards.
they do for rich people positions, like nasa.
So, the presidency isn’t a rich people position?
the bar is only high if they see you an an outsider.
Yes, I agree, this Homer guy completely lacks decorum by seeing some stranger celebrating and trying to interrupt and censor it. Like, how do you just barge into someone’s conversation and try to rule how it has to proceed? Very rude indeed.
There are few personality traits I respect more than that Diogenes energy.
They’re not quirky, socially disruptive philosophers, lol. The person in OP is just a child who wasn’t properly socialized, now occupying the body of an adult, they’re not saying things with purpose but because they have no moral framework and didn’t develop into an adult well!
There’s no scientific agreement on anything you’re claiming, there’s no established human nature or specific culture-agnostic development we must all go through, etc.
Okay, so what’s your stance? A group of people haven’t agreed upon anything regarding the topic (apparently) so you don’t know what to believe and nobody should either? What’s better, according to you: not dropping f bombs and telling people to suck your dick because they tell you to mind your language, or doing so?
People downvote you, but if i were hiring for a job with lots of wanting candidates and where one mistake has possibility of costing billions of dollars, i would too choose somebody who would know enough to recognize one of the more prevailing person on the field, or who would atleast have sense to look them up before starting dropping f bombs.
Or even more, one who does not drop f bombs at anybody.
I rant about the lack of moral frameworks, maturity and seriousness in Western societies pretty much every other day, I’m not too surprised by the response. I shouldn’t have trampled over their rights to be unnecessarily impolite and crude, I guess. 🤷
If it’s true - fuck that old piece of shit. Should lose his position.
Edit: Damn, a guy can’t just make a comment on a meme? I said “if it’s true”. I really don’t care to look into it more than that. It’s ok. You don’t have to tell me I’m technically wrong because they got fired by someone else for the tweet. Still an asshole move for someone just celebrating.
It’s not (entirely) true. Although NASA did initially rescind their offer to her, Hickam actually stepped in to help and convinced them to renew the offer. But only the initial part of the story survives because it’s rage-inducing and that is what fuels clicks… OP should be ashamed for only posting half the story. But here I am “generating engagement” so… here we are…
It’s THE Homer Hickam?
The very same.
I’m unsure if his response is more on the policing language side or more on the advisory, watch out, if you’re going to work for a government agency that is funded by politicians there’s a certain expectation for public decorum that has to be maintained so some congressman looking to score points doesn’t use you as a reason to cut funding. My guess, given he tried to help reinstate the internship, is that it was the latter.
If it were the latter he would have written a full sentence. It was scolding and he felt bad. As he should have.
