Got it, thats very interesting. I already understood the redness of the shadow but had no idea how much more complex it is and that picture of earth eclipsing the sun makes it way more clearer.

Thank you very much, I would upvote you 10 times if I could.

So like the umbra has a “bright” edge compared to its center?

I think that was my mistake, I was thinking of the transition between the penumbra and umbra had a straigt edge when viewed from earth.

thanks

I knew about what causses the moon to appear red but I never really thought about sunsets/rises beyond “its the atmosphere refracting light”. That was a very nice explanation about them. Thanks.

I think it does. Thanks.

So in other words; That side of the moon is closer to the edge of earths shadow. Correct?

I get that, but if the moon is completely behind the umbra of earths shadow why is that it looks brighter on one side/edge?

Examples:

Not my pictures btw. I took them from r/astrophotography

Sorry, thats not my question. I misstyped solar instead of lunar so I take the blame.

But I agree that its quite amazing how perspective wroks between the sun, earth, and the moon. Earth is also the right size tho block out the sun the same way when viewed from the moon. Would be hard to believe if we werent experiencing it tbh.

if I go outside on a sunday in Columbus Ohio, and walk my pig down the sidewalk, while walking backwards and eating ice cream…nothing will happen. It’s against the law…

Lol. Is that true? I would like to have seen whatever triggered the creation of that law.

Anyways, back to topic. While its true that there are old, outdated and very specific laws that are not enforced there are also laws that are unjust and cruel. How about being homeless and sleeping in public spaces? Or even inside your car? Ilegal and enforced. Begging for money? Ilegal and enforced. Giving food to the poor. Ilegal or heavily obstructed by regulations and enforced. The enslavement of incarcerated people. Enforced by a branch of police.

Those are just a few from the top of my head but I think I made my point. ACAB is not a critique or an attack to the individual in charge of enforcing laws but a denunciation of the judicial system as a whole.

First off, they have to know a law exists to enforce it. And even if they KNOW of a law, they enforce what they want.

Not directly related to my argument but you just pointed out two other problem with policing:

The allowed and even desired, I would say, ignorance of the law from those who are supposed to enforce it which leads to unlawful arrests and other abuses and arbitrary enforcement of laws based on relationship and prejudices.

The are no good cops, but there are good people working as cops, however, as you already pointed out, most of them are eventually fired and/or punished and the rest stop being good people at some point.

"The “good/bad cop” question can be disposed of decisively. We need only consider the following:

1. Every cop has agreed, as part of his job, is to enforce laws; all of them.

2. Many of the laws are manifestly unjust, or even cruel and wicked.

3. Therefore, every cop has agreed to act as an enforcer of laws that are manifestly unjust, or even cruel and wicked.

There are no good cops."

Lets ban tiktok! They promote socialist propaganda.

It looks like an stylized star of chaos

Edit: Not the warhammer thing, never played it. Its from the writings of Michael Moorock who is an anarchist.

I’ll look into the export thing but I think i will move to your instance regardless.

Im mostly a lurker and dont know how to code so the only way I think I can cooperate is by helping cover the costs of the server even if its just a symbolic ammount (im mostly poor too) Anyways, if theres something else I can do in the future I will. Thanks again.

Nice! Perhaps having a flair for long time users who frecuently post to the instance and have shown their compromise to its ideals and ethos. It wouldnt be abuse-proof but I think it would be fair since not everyone can donate and they (ppl making and sharing “content”) are what make a social network worth using.

I have 2 questions. Is it possible to migrate an account from fedia.io (mbin, i think) to db0 (lemmy)? and; How can someone without a bank account nor credit/debit cards donate to the instance?

Best of lucks and thank you.

Sounds like your workplace should unionize.

Not saying it would be easy nor quick but it would be a lot more effective than berating people on the internet who agree with you.

Imagine describing the denial of medical care to thousands in the name of profits as a “mistake”.

What a clown!
