2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Why are you being so combative about this? Not understanding how people could be at peace with this is disappointing, sure, but you're endlessly trying to escalate this. Picking out one argument to attack from a stack of reasoned explanations, wholly ignoring the response to your last objection in favor of a new one that exaggerates the arguments made, approaching every new comment with a constant shifting of the goalposts.
“I wish I spent months without my mom/dad” is blatantly re-framing my comment from the context it was presented and which it is relevant to. But to respond: Personally, speaking as a once and future child, I would not be wishing to have 'spent months without' with my parent. But if their fear of potentially being deprived of my presence stopped them from going to space, I would be absolutely furious with their selfishness, and if they went on this mission I would be proud beyond my ability to express, of them and their work. And I would be terrified for them. But fear is a natural response that fades with practice, and although I would miss them, knowing they were safe and doing what they chose to do would be reassurance enough to last me eight months, even if I couldn't speak to them.
Oh for fucks sake, thank you. I've got terrible insomnia right now and the username absolutely did not register.
I guess it's uncivilized to point out reocurring behavior of other users?
