Yes, you tested a conman to see if you would not fall for a con, and you fell for it. Congrats. It's called the Barnum effect.

When actually put to the test astrology fails:

No, that's all astrology is. Whenever it's been put to the test it has been found to have no supernatural or real predictive power. Just vague statements, and reader bias.

The president isn't voted on as part of the representatives, the office of the president is a separate vote and is supposed to be a direct vote. But the number of electors for each state has not kept up with each state's population, which has fucked up the power of presidential votes.

It's also on individuals, our purchasing choices shape what corporations decide to make. if people only bought fuel efficient vehicles companies wouldn't build these idiotic mega polluting trucks.

And trucks are vastly more dangerous for pedestrians than other vehicles. they have massive blind spots, and weight a shitton more. As trucks have kept getting bigger, pedestrian deaths have gone up, that's why we bring it up.

People were far more abusive to their kids in the past, so that doesn't really explain why depression is getting worse now.

In the case of Starlink satellites they're in a low orbit, and will naturally de-orbit after about 5 years, so they won't really be a big space problem in the future.
