looks like (of course there are exceptions to these observations): those with a laughing face live in a media landscape mostly dominated by the people, those with praying hands, are places where mostly the theocracy have the phones, hearts mean the government has the mainhand in this and are trying to deflect of some shit, and finally, no fucking clue what the fuck japan is doing... but i dont want to go to antigua and barbuda, pray laos is allright and hope kuwait finds its place
thanks to advances in the science of "enshittification" we can now predict with confidence: the time from anything being good to it becoming shit will only get shorter!
but that also means, capitalists can get richer more quicker! woohoo!
/s one "global scale nuclear conflict" to go please...
toxic waste is more managable than radioactive waste. that is the logic that i am pounding on here.
your logic says: let future generations take care of stuff we cant manage.
and i say: it would be very irresponsible as we already have messed up the planet enough. let's not add harder to manage waste to what's already there.
can we just agree to disagree?
im not even saying we should ban research or something, there is still radioactive waste to manage
i do not think something that stays dangerous for longer than you have not shat your pants is negligible.
if shitting your pants was the way to get rid of radioactive waste, i would be all for it, but as it stands all you would be left with would be tainted with nobody to clean it up for you. and somebody would still have to take care of the radioactive waste... it doesnt just vanish. there are no organisms that eat it up and make it into foodstuffs for others.
maths can say it is negligible, but then sad hard reality kicks in and you have to be holding on to something that can kill not just you but anybody you tell to take over for you. this is not a place of honor
whats your problem? who said we want to keep using fossil fuels forever? to me, the thing about nuclear power is its waste products and the timescales on which that degrades into something less but still as dangerous as before slow clap
we need to get off fossil fuels and nuclear fuels are one of them.
i mean sure, choose a timescale large enough and even the sun becomes a fossil fuel, but thats silly: sipping-off-the-suns-emissions itself, the operation of solar panels is not really degrading anybodies quality of life, except perhaps those who might look down onto now reflecting rooftops... making them is of course power consuming, but we are making stuff that makes power which takes power... and instead of just nodding at each other and chugging along we start bickering about the not tasty, not smelly stuff that makes your hair fall out all funny like...and ogle at it? wtf?
but ok you know what?: sure but only if you are personally responsible to have that thing in your backyard and fix it when it inevitably shits itself. also: garbage days are all yours now
i guess i am lucky as my cat usually is cowering on the floor when she is getting sick... makes comforting her easier too, so she doesnt immediately scurry off and spread it more than necessary
i see pop up again and again, different ppl quarreling over the meaning of what they say when they use the word communism... the.. ur meaning of communism was what some might call anarcho-syndicalism or similar, and there are some ppl, like apparently sop (though i have no idea what communism means for sop and am merely projecting here) who prefer that word, as it centers around community and avoids talking about anarchism, while some use the word communism to mean what the communist party of some nationstate currently says... or similar "modernizing" takes
volume? at least here thats how its measured when you get that mixed 60/40% with propane (i think) for your car as LPG. but then its under pressure and due to that a liquid
it's coping strategies and resuming the capitalism/consumerism game
i applaud his stance towards needless spending, but i think we need to get out more not less
