Dang...we were so close 😞
Aw. Could have had something good going.
- Did you have something against the civilian populations in South America, central Africa, and India? What "good" would massive death and destruction in one of those regions do?
  
  I didn’t even consider the actual impact of the asteroid. It just feels like with all the everything happening, humanity is very tired.
  But good on you for doing your research and making me seem like a big bad lady who wants to have a meteor-powered holocaust.
Gotta wander these days if these are Republican appointed “scientists” (assuming US source)
- Good news, we still have at least a couple of scientists.
Just what they WANT you to think! ;)
- Asteroid 2025 YR1 is still on course.
Don't look up? Got it. I think.
Wait.
Those of you who had hoped for it to hit and cause mass casualties..please go fuck yourselves and leave me out of your doomer fantasies. Some of us still have a will to live.
- We long for the sweet release of death
  
  There are ways to accomplish that that don't drag millions of uninvolved innocent people along with you.
- Yeah I don't understand why you get downvoted
  
  It's quite ironic, IMO. A lot of Americans are lamenting the decline of their country but then fall into the same selfish "America is the whole world and is all that matters" mindset as the people who are causing the decline in the first place.
- You're misunderstanding. Nobody wants mass casuaIties. They want an extinction level event.
  
  That still involves me. Again, leave me out of it. I didn't do anything to deserve that. They can take care of their issue with life themselves without involving others.
