Quasi-satellite is the technical name, which clarifies it’s exact relationship to it’s orbit between the Earth and Sun. Moon is not a technical name.

Fun fact, we currently actually have 2 moons! 469219 Kamoʻoalewa is a quasi-satellite that was discovered in 2016 and has been following us for nearly a century. It’s orbit (technically around the sun, not Earth) is stable enough that it will continue to follow Earth for millions of years before it decays and collides with Earth. It’s about 100 meters in diameter, and the Chinese space agency is planning to land on it this year!
I love living in the future
If I wanted your opinion about my mental health, I would have booked an appointment. You’re not a psychiatrist, so stop pretending to be one online.
I’m sure that it can. But don’t spread lies, bpd and bipolar is usually discovered through manic and/or depressive episodes. I had a manic episode that led to a psychotic break, and managed not to abuse anyone. My family found some of what happened actually mildly funny, and probably would have actually laughed if the situation wasn’t so serious. These conditions are discovered through terrifying and difficult situations, not shitty behavior.
I know people who have bpd and bipolar disorders. There’s a distinct possibility that I do too. Do you know what I don’t do? Abuse people. That’s why it’s a problem to claim every shitty thing is due to a mental illness. It’s best to condemn the behavior instead of trying to justify it.

I don’t know if that’s true, but medicalizing behavior is the fast track to demonizing the millions of people who have the conditions without being a shitty person.
I appreciate you trying to empathize, but please stop medicalizing shitty behavior. It doesn’t matter that you were somewhat correct.

2·1 year agoI believe it! One glimpse at the latest docs tells me that every major builtin library I knew is depreciated or gone. I’m not even sure if
secretsis still the correct encryption library. Honestly I might have to start fresh with Python like it’s a new language

This is the true wisdom of the post
Answer, obviously














While I was fact checking myself, I came across a list of dwarf planets. I previously assumed that there were only 2 in our solar system: Pluto and Ceres, but most definitions include 10! One of them is called Quaoar, which is half the size of Pluto and has rings!
