+Adam Horne "Diversity" is White genocide because it's used to literally used to chase down EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that's too White, just like whats happening to the Tibetans. When has "diversity" ever meant MORE White people? Could you name me the a single time "diversity" was ever demanded on an area that's "too Hispanic" or "too Black?" Yes "diversity" IS FORCED because any rejection is met with harassment, name calling, threats, job loss and even imprisonment. "Diversity" is a code word for White genocide Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White

Our solar system is so cool, a planet that's like a freaking greenhouse oven 24/7 and earth (which is obviously a cool planet) and a moon with an atmosphere and methane lakes and clouds and ice, moons with under-surface oceans of water and magma, planet with pretty patterns, planet with pretty rings, planet with 3000km/h winds... And there's exoplanets made of diamond and shit like damn there's trillions of different planets and moons I wonder what other cool stuff there is

I can't wait until we find the first exo-moons, maybe they'll be even cooler!

+DrNoob Multiverses are disjunct from ours. If there is no information-transfer, they can not be tested and therefore not falsified. As a result multiverses are per definition, neither theories, nor hypothesis, but at best speculations (like the speculations that there might be divine beings) and will never be anything else.

+Aydee R I find Titan (moon of saturn) just as interesting as Io due to the fact that it holds a significant atmosphere ;)

+Aydee R Do you like the movie "Outland" with Sean Connery ? Takes place on Io
