Yeah it's already a problem, but if we start ramming satellites against each other I could imagine the problem getting to a point where we have trouble launching things into space. The real issue is the relative velocity that orbiting objects have. If you're curious, the Wikipedia article has a really cool infographic and the section on hazards is pretty interesting if you like space stuff.

At some point we will have enough shit orbiting the planet that we won't be able to launch anything into space for decades. That will be a good time.

Tell that to the guys who got deported to El Salvador when the federal judge ordered the planes to turn around mid-flight.

I loose my mind with this kind of thing too. Do these people have a screw lose? What kind of rational would a rationale person use to decide to just use similar looking words with different meanings?

It was almost painful to write that out actually, but don't worry I'll add it to the list of things to review in therapy 😂

I understand where your anger is coming from here, as I was just recently raging about lies in modern day advertising, but I'm having trouble following the line here.

Let's say we "stamp out of existence" all activities relating to marketing. Practically speaking, does this make all products commodities? When I walk into a grocery store, is every shelf just a plain brown box with a minimal description of its contents? "cane sugar 1lb", "laundry detergent", "vegetable soup"? Further, marketing includes identification of where there is demand for a certain good, so we should be shipping ice melt to Florida in July and sun screen to Montana in January?

Can I suggest that perhaps what we actually need is better regulations around marketing practices and enforced penalties when companies go over the line?

Being held accountable for outputs provided

I'd settle for just the one elite child agent with brain cancer, he can set his own hours.

I need a gif where Scooby Doo removes the Librewolf logo and there's a Firefox logo underneath.

You must recognize that there is no Librewolf without Firefox, right? In fact, Librewolf even says in their privacy policy that you should also refer to the Firefox Privacy Policy because they can't be certain that their browser won't ever try to send data to Mozilla.

I'm not saying this to deter you from using Librewolf. If it works for you then that's awesome. It just made me chuckle when you said that you ended your friendship with Firefox and ran into the warm embrace of... Firefox with different default settings.

In any case, all I'm trying to communicate is that Firefox and all of its many forks are fundamentally reliant on Mozilla and its ability to continue updating Firefox. That means Mozilla needs a sustainable business model, and that we can't all simply abandon our relationship with Mozilla for a tool that is dependent on the work that Mozilla does.

Donating has always been an option

Meteor coming? Probably best if we all collectively stop looking up. There, problem sorted.

I really appreciate you illustrating my point here, bravo.

It's a great idea, though in practice I fear you'd seem like Snowden and everyone would eventually coalesce around the idea that you're a traitor because you didn't get assassinated or put into a dark hole to be forgotten.
