Just wait for the nuclear shills to flood in and claim that nuclear fission is a sustainable and necessary form of power generation. No, it is not. Uranium extraction devastates entire landscapes, the construction of nuclear power plants is too expensive (even for SMRs, as the article explains), ergo electricity prices will climb, it is a hugely wasteful use of so many tonnes of concrete (concrete manufacturing is heavy on the environment too), it creates waste that will still haunt us for hundreds of thousands of years (finding geological structures that are guaranteed to be stable that long is difficult), and relative to the initial construction and set-up effort, they don't provide that much energy. We already have methods that can provide us plenty enough electricity that are entirely sustainable by leveraging large-scale atmospheric aerodynamics as well as the largest nuclear fusion reactor at our disposal (the sun). There's simply no need to go nuclear.

Brought to you by fossil fuel propaganda filtered through renewable resource advocates who would also lose out to nuclear energy.

Well I'm just saying your basic bitch furry drawings and comics with no style aren't going to get praise from me. That's for sure.

blanketswithsmallpox ,

YouTube is already a giant cost sink lmfao. It's basically the one decent thing they're keeping up still which is why they've been monetizing it as much as possible lately.

Twice impeached, convicted rapist and 34-time smelly felon 'Sleepy Don' Donald Trump...

I'm taking China and/or Russia for $10,000 Alex.

Which is why doomers don't science. They feels.

Can we stop framing stupid answers on reddit as questions for Google and pretending like it's normal responses please?

blanketswithsmallpox ,

Yuck with the penises and all that? How the hell you supposed to fuck a penis anyway? What're you supposed to do, dock em or something? I ain't going near no gross dick. I mean sure, if she looked hot and I went to pull up her skirt after I had a few drinks in the bar and suddenly there was a dick... Well I don't need to look at that when I'm tapping that ass from behind. It's not like I'm gay or anything though. Sheesh. Weirdos.

blanketswithsmallpox ,

Except it's still in their writing, just not front and center like it was before, right?

Yes, but I'm too lazy to sauce everything again. If it's not in my saved comments someone else will have to.

E: couldn't find it on my reddit either. I have too many saved comments lol.

'Sweet.'

Also acceptable: Dope, dude, w-t-f, oh my God, holy shit, duuuuuude.

Gen X: Radical, gnarly, cowabunga, I want a living wage.

... That's not an echo chamber though. That's propaganda and vote manipulation mostly by literal state actors and brainwashed rubes.

An echo chamber is when people literally self segregate enough to the point that they no longer consume almost any media that doesn't fit their belief. Its exacerbated by large corporations who profit from ad revenue driven through user engagement.

Lemmy is not an echo chamber no more than the literal radio.

Reddit is not an echo chamber.

You can make these an echo chamber through varying degrees of ease. But places like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have been proven to drive you into one by exploiting ragebait for clicks.

You can say they're both fruit, sure. But one is like eating cantaloupe and the other like eating bananas laced with speed.

Logic is only dumb when it goes against what we want lol.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

The real question is whether meat has be completely passing through the ring hole.

If that's the case, sticking it in his butt would probably work too since a lot of your intestines are innards are squeezed together enough to essentially be flat. If it's being pushed along on it's side with peristalsis and any of of your bowels touches through the ring hole... you turn invisible for a minute.

Just imagine how strange it'd be seeing a halfing pop in and out of existence running at you with a blue sword that can tell him that you're nearby...

But what happens when I need to fight the army with my assault rifle in conventional warfare? What am I gonna do, wage guerilla warfare and mind my ammo like some fucking communist?

The difference between the optimist, pessimist, or internal/external locus of control.

... I don't get it?

Sweet Jesus I'm dumb. Thanks. The joys of overthinking.

Fuck me have I been sleeping on Baliwood action flicks when I occasionally like to watch b rate kung fu flicks.

Lemmy give me a couple of gems and a couple of okay recommendations please?

... Where do you live that rape DNA has been sequenced any time in the most recent 10 years or so? That's so much raping that could be hand before you get from donating blood.

Don't be a fuckface just because you rape. Try to cancel it out by donating blood, we use rapist blood just as well as we use a frat bros.

blanketswithsmallpox ,

Because unfortunately some things just didn't transfer. /r/anime equivalents are dead as fuck. Same with game subreddits. Tv subreddits. Anything properly discussion based.

Lemmy is great for face value mindless reddit scrolling but let's not pretend it's some great dialogue for the vast majority of posts where people just want to share hobby interests vs shit post or politic post.

You find that your mother has already emptied it and lays sweating against it's metallic surface like some sort of heavily breathing walrus with questionable white stains just around her neckline.

blanketswithsmallpox ,

Shit posting.

And pretending like parents caused most of your perceived jssues rather than taking personal responsibility over your actions rather than needing to project a scapegoat onto other evil people rather than just understanding that some of those people are just bad people.

tl;dr: Separated identical twin studies have shown over and over that so much of who you are, the small quirks, the larger life goals, all of it is something that you will be naturally inclined to. Being raised healthily only serves to dampen or enhance much of what's already there.

Mass murder, a careless disregard for human life and liberty, inflicting pain both emotional and physical onto others. Most of these are essentially switches some people simply aren't born with. People can learn or mask all they want, it doesn't mean you're not playing with a shit hand.

All people are not created equal. Many people have a significant harder time going through life because they rolled snake eyes on the genetic lottery. Our robust mountain of scientific evidence and understanding of the human brain points to nearly all of it being rooted in Scumbag Brain / Body.

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

You underestimate how many talented people are in the world. I get that being on Lemmy for so long though lol.

... It's funny that inflation makes that feel like a steal in most sub-urban places now.

Got it. Thanks. It definitely read like you were saying EVs were some secret not as good as you thought it was issue...

When they're pretty damn fantastic at lowering pollution over time.

While true I think most people understand that most of our modern economies that sustain billionaire corpos and the stock market are almost purely run by the magic that unstainable growth based gdp. This will always be the case until we work properly on fusion and a Dyson swarm.

We will reach a point when we hit 11 billion people and growth levels off. People will revolt en masse when they realize they can't retire without the magic rich made richer money generation machine that is the stock markets compounding interest. Turns out you'll have to save for a retirement by not magically generating more money from just hoarding it.

Until then, keep putting in your 401k and understand that any large change to an American economy to fix commute problems is going to cost way more than Europe due to our land size and heavily suburbian population centers.

Everyone is down for mass transit until they realize they have to pay for it lol.
