    A few days ago I was watching stars with a friend and every few minutes we would see satellite after satellite. Yeah that was distracting.

    Yeah right?? It's so crazy how many satellites there are nowadays.

    We used to play with my friends when we were younger to spot them. Now it's harder not to see one.

    And the sad part is it's going to get much worse probably.

      Yeah, lemmy seems to love religion as long as it's not white or Catholic.

      I suspect people would also be upset if Dumbo McNazi got a government contract to destroy a 500 year old cathedral to put up a nazi truck factory.

        He's a defiler.

        That’s why you can’t let Zerg get to late game. Guessing he’s going defiler/hydra/lurker? Sounds like we need firebats so we can still do damage under dark swarm. He might counter with scourge/guardians so watch for a greater spire for a good attack timing.

          militant atheism

          WTF? The guy is a dick for sure but leave atheists out of it. This term is just the go-to term for extremist religious asshats

          it’s a religious site … fuckit

          i believe this is what they’re referring to. it’s specifically an atheist take; it’s just not a very nice one

          i generally have disdain for religious crap, but do agree that simply writing people beliefs off as open for dumping waste on is probably not in the spirit of live and let live

            start getting critical. have conversations with our neighbors to shift what's possible. organize ourselves in the streets because the streets is where we win. refuse to accept that this is just the way things must be

              Not much remains of them upon reentry. At least nothing that can be called e-waste.

                Same here, I would rarely see a satellite and mostly only during dusk. Two nights ago I was participating in a star gazing activity as par of a birthday party and it's busy up there now

                      The religious significance of an uninhabited island seems like a nothingburger compared to this:

                      Along with allowing Musk to rain schrapnel down near Mokumanamana, the FAA also granted SpaceX the ability to do so around Hawaii's eight main islands — which are populated with American citizens

                      lol why did they emphasize that they are American citizens? So if these were non-Americans it would be fine I guess.

                          unfortunately no. per my understanding the problem with starlink satellites burning up on re-entry are two fold:

                          1. the aerosolized aluminum retains heat, not reflects it
                          2. the aerosolized aluminum reacts with ozone, damaging a critical protective layer against the greenhouse effect

                              It’s not about Americans, it’s about humans. I’m just quoting the article directly.

                                  Nobody feels like having a debate about your militant atheism, hence downvotes without comments. Please don't see this as an invitation for said debate either. I don't care. You're either being intentionally edgy or willfully ignorant, neither of which are the base for a fruitful conversation.

                                    Get your eyes checked. If you can read the text and didn't see where this was gonna go then there's no point trying to explain it to you.

                                        Well, I mean after the US annexed Hawaii by overthrowing their king and writing a special "it's OK when we do it" law, doesn't that mean they can do whatever they want?

                                          Better not mess with sacred stuff in Hawaii. You could wake up with a tarantula crawling on your chest.
