At least with dems nothing changes

the problem with "nothing changes" is that it in fact, does change. wages have stagnated for decades and the cost of living keeps rising, and dems won't vote to increase minimum wage. meaning dems are actively making things worse for people by doing nothing. dems could have enshrined abortion rights in law, they did nothing and now those rights are lost to a portion of the nation, with plans by republicans to make that nationwide.

I could keep going like this for hours, talking about all the things dems have made worse with their "nothing changes" policy, but I think we all get the idea. nothing changes is nothing more than a policy of slowly making things worse.

I know there was some claims that DOGE sent information to some servers in Russia, but that's also unsubstantiated, if I remember correctly. So technically, the mod is correct. And since it's a news community, it makes sense they wouldn't allow gossip, in order to combat misinformation.

That being said, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was true.

I assume it would be very fast and painless if it just comes charging in.

Even if it comes in very fast, you're still talking about many months of forewarning, perhaps even many hundreds of years if it was a "normal" star instead of something like a brown dwarf.

As I said, I really hope not. Doesn't really matter what hypothetical situation you talk about, if it involves another star being in or close to our solar system, it's gonna end badly for us.

And I really hope it stays that way, at least until it's not my problem to worry about anymore.
