Yes, but thats a small area compared to the entire station.

Because it’s expensive.

You have to build equipment to withstand constant load, which is much heavier, which means more launches and launches are more expensive.

Suddenly there is a greatly reduced working and living area. You go from being able to work in any surface to only surfaces near the “floor”. So you need to build more areas, and the architecture becomes more complex, both requiring many more launches.

A lot of the things you want to do in space, like science experiments, have to do with micro gravity, so introducing artificial gravity would make space stations kind of pointless.

To make the structure big enough to spin comfortably would require a very large structure, which means a lot of material, and a lot of launches. And more places for things to go wrong, so a lot more engineering and safety assurance is required.

Boring answer: human
Because I really appreciate sapience

Gardening stores should more commonly have seed packs of hearty local plants that make good lawn replacements. People shouldn’t either be stuck researching and sourcing seeds or just giving up and doing clover.

What do you mean “useful”?
I can understand being useful to a community, if you’re an expert and expertise is sought-after, but idk what it even means to be useful to Lemmy as a whole unless you’re developing Lemmy or apps for it.

Bee useful to a community, but don’t try to be useful to everyone

Don’t look for a specific moderate instance, instead block extremist instances. I’m not positive but I think that also blocks you from seeing posts by users of those instances even when they post to other instances, but I’m not 100% sure

The production and distribution of much media means that it’s practically impossible to avoid.

I try to avoid media when my consumption of that media significantly benefits bad people, and there is a reasonable alternative.

For example, I don’t consume Harry Potter content because fuck jk Rowling. She is a key creative and a key beneficiary of consuming that media. There are alternatives within that genre I can read instead.
But I do use audible, despite them being terrible, because that’s where my collection is and thats where new releases are.

I am a man of substance

Technically, I suppose

The period is very short

Raccoons, foxes.

But honestly, pretty much any movie I saw as a kid.

RIP my parents, I wonder how many times I made them sit through the original Mario bros movie.

Marry poppins.

What a good movie.

Becoming old

Sometimes I can be kinda pedantic

Literally why I started off my comment talking about the difference between peaceful and fair.

Because many people would consider “peaceful” to mean “without physical violence” in this context - so I described what that could be. Something china is actually actively in the process of doing.

Idk how that means I have my head up my ass. One of us is using the wrong definition for that idiom.

You have a crazy definition of “advocate”.

Apparently if you describe it, that is considered “advocacy” even if you explicitly denounce it.

Why are you conflating “peaceful” with either “act of peace” or “good”?
I explicitly said it wasn’t fair, eg that it’s unethical and I don’t support it.

All I’m saying is that China has a clear path to stop the world from getting involved if they do decide to invade, and that China has had recently success taking over countries with little violence.

So your framing this as though I’m a Gretzky supporter is kinda wild.
