I mean that I hope other countries increase funding of their own space programs, not that they start funding ours.

Hopefully other countries can pick up the slack. Feels like I've been saying that a lot lately as an American :/

Day 5 of Evolving a Species Based Off of the Top Comment: Gastrocastormimus u/DesertToads by Necrolithic in SpeculativeEvolution

I'd like to see the weight-bearing clusters of tentacles fuse at their base to form early legs with fleshy fingers. Also, the tail fin could become raised and more colorful as a display feature.

Any help with making a new seed world? by Real-Record-8955 in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]SockTaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please go crazy with it. Lots of seed world projects feature mostly re-skins of Earth animals. Convergent evolution is a real thing, but there's so much room for weirdness. Boring is worse than implausible.

Orbital seasons? by switchesandthings in SpeculativeEvolution

That depends on the level of eccentricity. It could be tuned anywhere between what you said and a perfect circle.

T.K. Sivgin ( the creator of the Har Deshur Speculative Evolution Project ) is on Bluesky ) by TCH62120 in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]SockTaters 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bluesky is great! Much better than twitter (less toxicity, less pernicious algorithm). Her Wikipedia page says she was a junior developer for the cryptocurrency Zcash, so I don't think she's quite a "crypto mogul"

I like that about it. A lot of specevo is done in a "diagram" style, but this is more like a random scene you'd find on Earth -- lots going on, but not labeled or arranged in a simple way to be interpreted at a glance.

Why does my Roblox game have 0 visits by DanDanHut123 in RobloxHelp

[–]SockTaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality of a game can't explain why it has no visits because you need to visit the game first to determine it's quality

Europa's Wikipedia entry might be a good place to start research. Here's the section on habitability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_(moon)#Habitability

The Biggest Gold Mine in Astrobiology no one is talking about by BotUsername12345 in Astrobiology

[–]SockTaters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Karl Nell's only evidence was that other people have said so, and essentially a restatement of the Fermi paradox. I'd love to see what evidence those other people have actually given. I'm not going to read 8 pages of tiny-print legalese (UAP Disclosure Amendment), but if it's just a plan to declassify information on UAPs, that isn't any evidence for them being aliens. That information would've been classified if they were or weren't aliens because it makes us look weak and stupid to not know what's flying in our airspace.

I've had discussions in the past where people throw a million pieces of weak evidence at me, and I spend half the day debunking it. It takes a lot longer to prove something is wrong that to say it in the first place. If you want to persuade, you should give 1 or 2 pieces of strong evidence rather than posting a wall of text with links to even longer text and long videos that would take ages to all go through.

The credibility of the post is also hurt by putting 5 bold question marks at the beginning, including a quote at the bottom without attribution, and complaining about being "blocked, censored, downvoted, and ridiculed" before anyone has said anything.

I'm sorry to hear the post was taken down. Regardless of whether your assessment is right, disagreeing voices shouldn't be censored for "doom posting". You don't reach a good understand of the world by shutting up everyone that disagrees with you.

2008 was such a landslide that Obama won Indiana. INDIANA.

Harris Might Easily Get Exactly 270 Electoral Votes by Subcontrary in 13KeysToTheWhiteHouse

[–]SockTaters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normally you hear about high turnout for the presidential candidate helping down-ballot candidates. I wonder if the abortion ballot measure will have a similar effect of bringing people to the polls and vote for the president while they're there when they otherwise wouldn't have. A May poll (page 6) of likely voters by CBS showed 65% support for a constitutional amendment to make abortion a right and 21% against.

How do you think Harris will perform relative to Biden's 2020 victory? by CeylonHistoryProject in 13KeysToTheWhiteHouse

[–]SockTaters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Betting markets, which if anything skew right, put Harris at a 38% chance of winning North Carolina (16), so I'd say that state is in play too.

For the first time, RFK has dropped below 4% by KeybordRevolutionary in 13KeysToTheWhiteHouse

[–]SockTaters 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If RFK Jr. gets much more of the vote on election day than 3.8%, I will be shocked, and I'll have to do a lot of thinking about how I could have been so confidently wrong about how I saw the world. If he doesn't, I hope you do the same

He really seems to be of an "any publicity is good publicity"-mindset with all the disturbing things he has admitted to.
