  • The Wikipedia linked in these comments says it is likely from electron precipitation. Basically the magnetic field traps free elections and thus “wiggles” as they interact with the field. This can make a (pulsed) radio jet shooting from the pole, which is how this planet was observed. These electrons can fine from atmospheric phenomena such as lightning or large storms.

    Earth has the same but much weaker phenomenon, the Van Allen belt, which was a difficult challenge to handle in the early days of space exploration.







  • I’ve been in the leftmost spaces most of my adult life. Accommodations for nuance have generally cost me a few calories in processing thought and not misgendering people but tha’ts it. It was annoying at times to learn new things but the impact on my ability to experience and navigate the world was nil. The benefits were that i got to have deeper connections with my friends of various genders and ethnicities.

    I think if someone’s coming from an unchallenged experience of masculinity that when people ask for accommodation they feel it as a personal attack because they never had to expend a single calorie of energy on it before, and now someone is asking them to.

    It also just takes a looooong time (decades even) to get over one’s own insecurities because it’s easy to hide those behind a mask of masculinity. That part takes a lot more effort whereas the manosphere tells you that you don’t have to climb that mountain because actualization is achieved hiding behind that mask.


  • Yes but we’re in the bait and switch phase of it. They’re pushing the AI responses at the top of search to cut down the through clicking to Wikipedia. They’re trying to capture behavior by being the lowest effort route to an answer. They’re gambling that people will forget these other sites and then stop donating. Then it’s to the courts until they’re too broke to keep the servers online.

    The information will still be free, but maybe obfuscated enough that most people accept [erratic] information as a service.










  • but their many relationships are entirely performative. and they have built up their entire life as one big act.

    Is precisely the part i disagree with if you’re going to generalize the way you did in your first reply. Hence talking about the experience even with honest meaningful deep non-performative relationships.

    it means they are mentally ill.

    Psychological health indeed impacts it, hence why i brought up depression and anxiety to name just two of many conditions that could contribute.

    The wealth disease, on the other hand, is probably generalizable in the way you’re suggesting. I couldn’t really care it someone is sad about being ultra-wealthy. Maybe they should give it up and be a depressed laborer like the rest of us.
