There's gotta be an extension that does do a good job, right?

From the article:

According to EarthSky, this comet (known colloquially as Comet A3, for obvious reasons) is special, as it’s the brightest to cross our planet’s sky in 27 years, leading some to dub it the Comet of the Century.

We were able to see it with the naked eye. Our area has less light pollution than most, but still very much not a dark zone.

Wait long enough after sundown that it gets pretty dark. Even if its lower in the horizon, it'll be easier to see if it's still in your field of view.

I went to the beach with some friends to watch at sunset. We kept looking for it. Even using Stellarium and binoculars we didn't see it and assumed it was too low to the horizon and obscured by haze.

It got dark. We figured we weren't gonna see it. We started looking at the other stars/constellations as they became visible with advanced darkness. We were just about to pack up and go home when we realized we could plainly see it!

Less shock value -> less publicity -> less people thinking about your message

Should everyone go destroy art galleries? Housing crisis = art destruction?

Do you not agree? Over half a million homeless are without homes. People are dying, and the homeless are largely being dehumanized or ignored. There is a very real human cost far beyond a piece of art or the barrier protecting it.

If you're looking for objective quantifiable criteria on right vs wrong, you'll never find it. Morality often falls into a grey area involving tradeoffs, but bringing attention to a societal issue with huge human costs just for splashing soup on a plastic barrier seems pretty effective to me.

Reminds me of the beginning of the pandemic when he tried to dismiss the initial uptick in covid cases as a migrant worker problem.

When the state responsible for the genocide is reliant on our military aid its disingenuous to refer to it as a "genocide on the other side of the planet"

I would also say it could be manslaughter if the stress from the retaliation from whistleblowing caused him to kill himself

I've thought about it. It's a lot harder to pull off when rent is $1500 a month.

Good point. I guess that depends on a quality over quantity promise, which I guess would also fit op's idea.
