Bad news about depression. The clinical kind? The stuff you’re describing? We don’t have a cure yet. We have stuff that will alleviate symptoms and allow a person to live an almost normal life, but it doesn’t cure it. Worse, you might find a medication that seems to fix it, but your body may eventually adjust to it and the depression will come back.
Talk to your psychiatrist. They should have some suggestions that might help.
I’ve had to deal with depression my entire life. The fight is constant and real. Don’t give up.
“That was left-handed!”
So instead we’re going to have to listen to half-baked conspiracy theories for the next few years in addition to everything else. Gah!
Easy enough to disprove. Do the hand recounts in the supposedly affected states. If those hand recounts aren’t done, there’s going to be a lot of progressives who spend the next four years looking as lunatic as the “stop the steal” people - with the difference being that there was a really easy way to disprove the lunacy that wasn’t used, whereas the “stop the steal” was disproven multiple times and even went to court repeatedly.
So, what I’m saying, just do the damn recount so we can put this thing to rest.
facepalm
Right, I understand you now. You are being pedantic about the definition of Kessler Syndrome, assuming people are using it to refer to a permanent status. Gotcha.
In short, you don’t disagree, you just aren’t using the same words to mean the same thing as everyone else, leading to confusion and conflict.
Kessler Syndrome, even if it “only” lasts a few years, would be devastating. That is what people are worried about, and that is what could happen, even with low earth orbits. Given big enough pieces of debris, the “any significant period of time” you refer to could certainly be significant enough to cause lasting problems.
Just to be clear… you believe because the satellites are low enough that they will only last a few years, that they cannot run into each other and cause a cascading effect of debris? I mean, sure, the cascading effect (Kessler Syndrome) might only last a few years, but it still could happen, couldn’t it? Or is there something special about them that means they can’t actually accidentally run into each other and break apart, with the pieces hitting other satellites and breaking apart…?
I’m not sure why these satellites being in low orbit protects them from the laws of physics.

Edit: It’s also in the original post, I just noticed. Not used to Lemmy yet. And I’m treating the first part of your post as being as flippant as I tend to be. If you meant it, please let me know so I can swat you with the clue-by-four.
You know, I wrote it kind as a flippant comment, not expecting anyone to pay attention (because, really, who pays attention to me?) and suddenly it’s all over the place.
Anyway, I already responded to a lot of people who commented on the original post. I eventually had to mute it due to too much traffic. So if you want to see more, go look at what people were telling me over there. I don’t disagree with most of it, and I think having a good discussion on the subject of this is probably a good thing.
Sounds like a contradiction in terms to me.
Democrats have guns. They just don’t worship their guns, display them like phallic symbols, or make a big deal of having them like conservative nutsos do. So there’s a ridiculous stereotype that Democrats don’t have guns and want to take guns away that conservative nutsos use to terrify their base into voting against responsible gun ownership laws.
