What were the multiple awful visits for?

My point was that using the Sun, Earth, or really any object as a reference is arbitrary and the “same position” at two different points in time is completely undefined.

Actually 🤓, position and velocity are relative, so that’s a nonsensical statement without defining a reference object for the Earth’s position. If we’re not assuming you end up safely on dry land, you could just as easily end up light-years away as wherever you were relative to the sun.

I don’t see how it could be scumbag. Fear of sharks != fear of people in very obvious and unrealistic shark costumes. People who are afraid of ghosts don’t have panic attacks from seeing people in ghost costumes on Halloween.

Not banned. I think it’s great that when you copy posts from .ml, you mention the author now.

How would a general strike change anything? The oligarchs know they can wait normal people out. Even if half the population went on strike for a week, the only result would be the people who organized the strike getting “disappeared” so that the dip in profits doesn’t happen again. We lost, full stop. Peaceful means will not end Trump’s tyranny.

And after 200 years of matriarchy, people would be saying that women are evil and we should have a patriarchy. Whoever holds the power always ends up oppressing whoever doesn’t.

I’d love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.

Housing is more complex and the proposed solution may not work, but there are some problems that could be solved by someone with absolute power pretty easily. For example, if we shipped health insurance CEOs off to El Salvadorian labor camps instead of innocent immigrants, people would stop having their claims denied and the concept of a deductible would go the way of the dodo.
