2020, year of 98ft, 10,000 mph asteroids exploding in atmosfear (tonight) - be afraid & Get Out Yer Telescopes :D

As if 2020 weren’t overwhelming enough, in addition to the potential start of World War 3, the massive fires in Australia, the locust plague in the Middle East and Africa, and the novel coronavirus, we are now dealing with multiple asteroids hurtling towards Earth. One of the asteroids may even collide with Earth’s atmosphere resulting in an atmospheric explosion tonight! https://www.zmescience.com/science/asteroid-close-approach-airburst-135134/ ... In more apocalyptic news, "If you don't want to slut-shame, then you're going to get a lot of sluts:" If You Don’t Shame Sluts, You Will End Up with a Slut Overload http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/if-you-dont-shame-sluts-you-will-end-up-with-a... [img] "It's My Hot Body, I'll Do What I Want" A novel male feminist argument that I have seen popping up recently in defense of sluts is that “women don’t have agency,” and thus cannot be held responsible for their behavior, whatever it is. The theory then goes that men are responsible for all female behavior, because men do have “agency.” Let’s first make sure we understand our terms. What do they mean when they speak of “agency”? They are talking about the philosophical concept of “moral agency” or “human agency.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agency_(philosophy) Agency is the capacity of an actor to act in a given environment. The capacity to act does not at first imply a specific moral dimension to the ability to make the choice to act, and moral agency is therefore a distinct concept. In sociology, an agent is an individual engaging with the social structure. Notably, though, the primacy of social structure vs. individual capacity with regard to persons’ actions is debated within sociology. This debate concerns, at least partly, the level of reflexivity an agent may possess. Agency may either be classified as unconscious, involuntary behavior, or purposeful, goal directed activity (intentional action). An agent typically has some sort of immediate awareness of their physical activity and the goals that the activity is aimed at realizing. In ‘goal directed action’ an agent implements a kind of direct control or guidance over their own behavior. If women “don’t have agency,” then the argument is that all women are literally mindless, soulless automatons, who are incapable of engaging in free will choice. It follows then that the behavior of women, and the actions that they do take, are based entirely on external factors, as they do not have any internal capacity for decision making. [img] "Libre Mientras Sigan Habiendo Doofus" The logical conclusion from this line of reasoning is that men need to build a structured society wherein there are solid incentives for women to behave in certain ways. This would involve both positive and negative reinforcement. So we must ask: what behaviors do we want to encourage from women, and which do we want to discourage? Presumably, we all have a similar idea about this. Good female behavior: [ok, so we know for a fact that this is gonna go down reeeel well with the anarchist crowd :D] - Modesty - Marriage at a young age - Producing many children - Obeying husband - Staying loyal to husband Bad female behavior: - Sluttiness - Refusing marriage in favor of seeking “adventure” and a career - Refusing to produce children, taking birth control, having abortions - Marrying in late twenties or early thirties - Getting a divorce Currently, the government and the media are the only groups which are able to offer most incentives to women. However, there is one form of negative reinforcement that we can all engage in and that is “slut-shaming.” Slut-shaming has a huge effect on women, as they respond very strongly to negative social pressure. If a woman feels like men and other women think she is a slut, she feels very bad about herself. Thus, if a woman sees that another woman has been labeled a slut for engaging in a certain type of behavior, she is likely to avoid that behavior. So, for example, if a woman has sex with a disgusting Jew Hollywood producer, and everyone calls her a filthy slut, other women will see that and say “I’d better not have sex with a disgusting Jew Hollywood producer, or people will label me a filthy slut.” [img] "Men of Simping Quality, Respect Women's Equality" Conversely, if a woman who has sex with a disgusting Jew Hollywood producer is labeled a victim, and is celebrated for her bravery, you are giving positive reinforcement to the behavior pattern. This discussion of “moral agency” is convoluted and esoteric. There is clearly no way to see inside of a woman’s head and understand the mechanisms upon which her decision process acts. What we are able to see is that women are extremely sensitive to social shaming, and that they will act accordingly to how society ranks their behavior. If we decide that as a society, we will not shame sluts, then our society is going to end up with a lot of sluts. I do not think that any of us want a society full of sluts, and thus I think we should all be able to agree on the fact that we should shame sluts by calling them out as sluts. [img] "F*@k Robin Thicke" This will make women feel bad. That is the point of negative reinforcement. It is used to make an example of women who engage in bad behavior so that other women will not engage in that behavior. The problem is that neo-Nazis and other male feminists, being agents of women, will always work to remove any and all consequences for the behavior of women, so that women are able to do whatever they want without facing any consequences.

There are those with access to heavy machinery who can lay plans and actions to build semi-underground, extremely well insulated, dwellings with indoor greenhouse. Takes about 2 years to "get off the ground" if you have the resources/ money/ access to like minded folks, and put in substantial elbow grease. Too bad for city dwellers...

OK, soap, apteroids muh grits! Big, bad, unpredictable asteroids. For those who missed the memo, Australia just had a muffaducker of a sly nigt sky fly by :) But let's have a little think about this ... more below. ‘Martians Have Hit’: Glowing Fireball Turns Australian Sky Green in Jaw-Dropping Sighting https://sputniknews.com/science/202006151079615844-martians-have-hit-glowing... Astronomers believe that the object was an asteroid about 570 meters in diameter that passed our planet at a safe distance. Some users have suggested that it was part of a rocket launched recently. An emerald green fireball was seen streaking across the night sky over Australia over the weekend. Users have posted footage of the spectacular sighting on social media (check out here, here and here). https://www.facebook.com/joshua.vearing.1/posts/10219189761672351%20 https://www.facebook.com/100008142968082/videos/2644170255864381 https://www.facebook.com/groups/AustralianMeteorReports/permalink/1423932117... “Martians have hit the Pilbara,” wrote one skygazer in a remote region of Western Australia. “Next phase of 2020 incoming!” https://www.facebook.com/joshua.vearing.1/posts/10219189761672351 Glen Nagle, a manager at NASA’s Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, said there had been reports of sightings as far away as the Northern Territory and South Australia. “It was really a spectacular observation” he told local media. “People have captured something very special here.” There has been some speculation among social media users that the object could have been the debris from a rocket, but astronomers said it was likely an asteroid, given that space debris tend to emit crackles and sparks and also burn up quickly, which was not the case with the fireball in question. According to 9News, astronomers believe that the object was an asteroid called 2002 NN4, which was earlier predicted to pass by Earth this past Saturday. It has an estimated diameter of 1,870 feet (570 meters) across and was expected to come within roughly 5.2 million kilometres from Earth, 13 times further away than the moon. https://www.9news.com.au/world/wa-asteroid-green-glow-captured-on-camera-as-... Soap muh fella w.ggers, what could be the fuss? Firstly, let's realise the magnitude of this teeny snippet from the Nine News link above: "Earlier today, other astronomers said they believed it could have been Asteroid 2002 NN4, which was scheduled to pass Earth about 11.20pm yesterday. That asteroid is estimated to be the size of six football fields, with estimated diameter of up to 570 metres, according to the Centre for Near Earth Object Studies. https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/ Despite being clearly visible, the asteroid was about 5.2 million kilometres away from our planet, 13 times further away than the moon, NASA says, so there was no risk of it hitting the Earth. " Now there be some hogwash folksies, as thangs flying by Earth don't "get heat up so much in our atmosphere that they glow as they streak through it", unless they actually pass through actual atmosphere; and Earth's atmosphere has layers, onion boy: Atmosphere of Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth#Stratification .. From highest to lowest, the five main layers are: - Exosphere: 700 to 10,000 km (440 to 6,200 miles) - Thermosphere: 80 to 700 km (50 to 440 miles)[18] - Mesosphere: 50 to 80 km (31 to 50 miles) - Stratosphere: 12 to 50 km (7 to 31 miles) - Troposphere: 0 to 12 km (0 to 7 miles)[19] Exosphere The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere (i.e. the upper limit of the atmosphere). It extends from the exobase, which is located at the top of the thermosphere at an altitude of about 700 km above sea level, to about 10,000 km (6,200 mi; 33,000,000 ft) where it merges into the solar wind. This layer is mainly composed of extremely low densities of hydrogen, helium and several heavier molecules including nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide closer to the exobase. The atoms and molecules are so far apart that they can travel hundreds of kilometers without colliding with one another. Thus, the exosphere no longer behaves like a gas, and the particles constantly escape into space. These free-moving particles follow ballistic trajectories and may migrate in and out of the magnetosphere or the solar wind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere The exosphere is located too far above Earth for any meteorological phenomena to be possible. However, the aurora borealis and aurora australis sometimes occur in the lower part of the exosphere, where they overlap into the thermosphere. The exosphere contains most of the satellites orbiting Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_borealis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_australis And under exosphere we read similar: Upper boundary of Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exosphere#Upper_boundary_of_Earth In principle, the exosphere covers distances where particles are still gravitationally bound to Earth, i.e. particles still have ballistic orbits that will take them back towards Earth. The upper boundary of the exosphere can be defined as the distance at which the influence of solar radiation pressure on atomic hydrogen exceeds that of Earth's gravitational pull. This happens at half the distance to the Moon (the average distance between Earth and the Moon is 384,400 kilometres (238,900 mi)). The exosphere, observable from space as the geocorona, is seen to extend to at least 10,000 kilometres (6,200 mi) from Earth's surface. So "The exosphere is located too far above Earth for any meteorological phenomena to be possible." Mm hmm. That's interesting, as meteor phenomena require the denser atmosphere as it is in the lower layers. Thiseleaves possible ionising effects, say a rotating metal object travelling through the Earth's magnetic domain (although the videos/ images of the object in question lead one to imagine some sort of burning ("exothermic") effect): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere A magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are affected by that object's magnetic field.[1][2] It is created by a star or planet with an active interior dynamo. .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere#Earth's_magnetosphere .. On the dayside of Earth, the magnetic field is significantly compressed by the solar wind to a distance of approximately 65,000 kilometers (40,000 mi). .. On Earth's nightside, the magnetic field extends in the magnetotail, which lengthwise exceeds 6,300,000 kilometers (3,900,000 mi).[3] .. So on this basis, the object at issue, allegedly at about 3.5 million km from Earth, is potentially well within Earth's dark side magnetic field of >6.3 million km. This however does not smell right, as the videos clearly show a firey tail, which would have to be well within the Earth's thermosphere (or below). The light is also green, suggesting a relevant amount of copper in this object, but how would this translate to an object allegedly "at a safe distance away of around 3.5 million km away", way outside Earth's atmosphere, but at least within striking distance of Earth's magnetosphere - is 'has rotating copper core' supposed to translate into 'green magnetic field effect'? Perhaps someone with sufficient physics knowledge will answer this for us... In any case, this videoed object certainly appears to be a typical, perhaps rather large, meteor type of object travelling, and more importantly burning, though our atmosphere ... so "hey you object, get orf mah lawn!" Now for lé punché line: if these initial reports are correct and this is the same object identified back in 2002 as "2002 NN4", and which was meant to pass by at a distance of around 13 LD (lunar distances) 8 days earlier accoding to NASA: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/ (JavaShaft alert) then we can say with certainty that some combination of the following must be true: - that NASA's mathematical calculations have a serious problem - that the 2020-06-14 (or 15?) object is a completely different object to 2002_NN4

The 6th closest asteroid to Earth recorded since 1900, named 2020JJ, which escaped detection prior to arrival over the Pacific Ocean on 4th May 2020, was not very big - just "truck sized" at about 2.7 to 6 meters diameter and therefore likely would have burnt up in the atmosphere prior to hitting the Earth if it had been on a collision course. Truck-Sized Asteroid Avoids Detection Ahead of Near-Record Close Flyby Over Earth https://sputniknews.com/science/202005061079222704-truck-sized-asteroid-avoi... .. CNET highlighted that out of the top 10 closest near-Earth flybys recorded by NASA since 1900, 2020 JJ ranks as the sixth-closest approach. Moreover, all of the asteroids in NASA’s top 10 passed by in 2004 or later. “This isn't because asteroids started attacking us in the 21st century. Rather, it says something about how astronomers and their technology are becoming better at spotting ever-smaller and closer asteroids,” noted CNET’s Eric Mack. ... The next big-ish asteroid we no longer need to really keep an eye on is 99942 Apophis, ~370m diameter, next due 2029 and on course to fly BELOW geosynchronous (some satellites) orbit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis which as of December 2004, briefly reached "4" on the Torino Scale (0-10, higher is worse, comparing kinetic energy with probability of impact), the highest level of any object recorded so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torino_scale For the time being, for all yer fear porn, look elsewhere than asteroids..
