There are still new albums occasionally released on 8 tracks too, and even a couple on Edison cylinders. Anachronism is collectable.

Good. Make them run. Nip at their heels. Give them no rest or any place to hide until we corner them and take back from them everything.

The rich are worthless. They bring nothing at all to the table. Their net value to humanity is negative. They only hoard.

Or if every Universe begins with a white hole, you now have a set of keys to the Multiverse.

Stalkers = women demanding child support.

Improving safety is the never-ending cry of a nanny state. The world is already spectacularly safe – deadly though it still is. Most of the things that used to eat us are so long dead that we have forgotten to be cautious in the wilderness.

And yeah, after seeing idiot losers trashing places like Yellowstone, I am absolutely fine when they get themselves killed in the middle of nowhere. I’m happier if they get rescued and learn from the experience, but we don’t need to toy with Kessler Syndrome to incrementally improve their odds.

It’s about needless overreach. None of those reasons you listed justify constellations of 10k+ satellites in LEO just for internet access. That is an unmitigated global disaster in the making. Solutions to all of that exist. Radios work for comms in disasters right now and have for decades. Governments should simply run fiber to every small town and village. It’s far cheaper. If someone has an off-grid house, they know what they’re getting into. Remote research installations are a niche case and simply do not justify a global satellite network on their own, not when all the other cases listed fail to justify it as well. If they really need to upload data from deep afield, they could always put up a few dedicated satellites just for their own use.

If somebody wants to travel to or live and work in a remote area, that also doesn’t justify such a network. They’re doing that to get away, not to stay connected. They are taking the risks that come with it.

People should learn to navigate if they’re going into the wilderness, and face the consequences if they don’t. People will call for additional safety until we all live in padded cells. Frankly, people could stand to face a lot more danger in this world. Maybe then idiots will stop trying to pet the bears at Yellowstone. There’s no need to litter the sky with satellites so that the incompetent can live a bit longer.

Fascism is when capitalists control the government.

Life is not safe. Adventure even less so. The loss of the night sky and the risk of Kessler syndrome is not outweighed by a slight convenience allowing influencers to stream video and hit social media while pretending to get away from it all.

I liked him in Parks & Rec. But then I found he’s evangelical. That’s a black mark for me, since I managed to escape it. But his apparently sincere faith combined with his dirty sense of humor grates on me. I don’t mind the jokes. It just makes him look like a hypocrite to me.

I would suggest mining asteroids, using the material to craft thin foil mirrors with 3 axis gyroscopes then positioning them at L1 Lagrange in order to selectively reduce incoming solar radiation to a safe, custom level, but obviously our ruling psychopaths will simply use it to block light to countries that don’t pay up, and to focus it on countries to burn away undesirables.

And of course then we’ll all have to pay a sunlight bill.
