I know its minimal, I'm not saying it's a concern, I'm just saying if we are harvesting it, doesn't that mean it's pulling us closer to it? It's not magically free energy (in the physics sense), so what else could it be other than converting the potential gravitational energy between the earth and moon into something else?
But does harvesting it make it go faster or slower away?
On the one hand, I get you, but on the other hand, a lot of math people aren't doing by hand, but it's still important for a foundational understanding.
This raises an interesting question in my mind, does tidal power make the earth get closer to the moon? Because if you got all the energy out of it, then the water wouldn't move, so I guess it's the same as gravitational potential in that sense, but I guess it's removing it, so less gravitational potential means either less mass (not the case) or less distance.
Your reaction to the comic is the same as the man's reaction within the comic. That's not me making some assessment of something else about you, it's simply what you're doing.
You're just as bad as the guy in the comic.
The orange box. ~$50. Great purchase.
I don't think there's a magically perfect way to respond to this comic, but framing the man's position as "a little sarcastic" is certainly not it.
I'm saying that if those things make you uncomfortable as a viewer of this comic, how do you think women feel when their rights are stripped away?
The point is in your face and you miss it. Many men advocate to control women's bodies by taking their right to autonomy away. If seeing a woman with a shirt saying something like that makes you uncomfortable, how can you say it's just "a man being a bit sarcastic?" How do you think women feel? Again, if this comic makes you uncomfortable, imagine how uncomfortable women are.
And that's how women feel when they can't get abortions.
That's the joke, goober.
