Who the fuck tweets at people telling them not to swear?
Someone high up in the chain of command you are trying to join that knows a professional public perception is important when we shot people into space? That type of thing gets taken very seriously by people in the PR world.
Sure, but it's understandable that there would be a misunderstanding in an interaction like that. Something like "this kind of language is not appropriate here at nasa", or simply "this is unprofessional".
That's what the first reply was saying. Someone ready to work at NASA would do a cursory Google, or know who Homer Hickam is in the first place lol.
"Language" was carrying a lot of extra weight.
When some random person replies to me saying to watch my language the last thing I'm doing is googling them.
In fact, i might even be inclined to tell them to suck my dick and balls.
"Random person" is the trap
TBF, if someone tells you to chill, is your first response to double down on your first mistake?
Hell yeah it is
As a young lass excited for an amazing carrier opportunity? I might.
Especially in an Internet setting where that’s the cultural norm. At work it’s different, but the internet is casual and defiant
Yeah, it doesn't even sound that out of place in informal conversation.
If professionalism mattered at nasa I need an explanation for 2/3 of the apollo 11 crew…
