    I’ve only just realized how wrong the physics was on that. If your ship is already rotating at the same angular velocity as the space station, then it doesn’t make sense that you have to keep tapping left to maintain it.

    It also would have been nice if it either counted you docked before the window filled the whole screen, or at least provided some sort of inner line/box so you could see what the rotation was doing in the final half second…

    This is like criticizing a sports team: “Wait, so it’s good for YOU to get the ball in the basket, but it’s bad for THEM to get the ball in the basket?”.

    This is an extremely Trump-like view, that foreign policy is a zero-sum game with a winner and a loser, and the object is to win.

    I mean it’s a great sketch and all, but I think if you come from a coddled affluent background it’s easy to forget that you’re very much in the minority.

    The worst I can see in this thread is people who either didn’t get an allowance or had to do chores for it; such people don’t just outnumber you on Lemmy, they outnumber you globally.

    Fun fact, Mercator would in principle be even more distorted than it is, but almost every map that uses it crops at least the top and bottom 5 degrees to hide it. Mercator’s original cropped to 66°S - 80°N, which shifts Europe towards the middle.
