How about a loud condescending poor who sits in their bedroom playing video games, watching YouTube, reading reddit posts for a living but is super right wing?

Not like there's a litany of journalists, professors and former finance ministers with their work available online to watch or anything

Genocide is a bit more than just "aren't perfect"

Its great for reading docs, I don't have to search through to find out how to get a user's playlists using the Spotify api

Definitely 4 but stage 2 always comes back, it's just not as emotional anymore

Please don't, I believe you

Do you also dramatically turn around at the gate and announce "Goodbye [CITY]!"?

Thief, anno 1404

So if they were racing the US to the moon why didn't they also publicly proclaim their intent to go to the moon? They rejected the race, tried to make a Saturn V, didn't work, moved on. Hardly seems like a race to me

From the references in that same wikipedia article you're referencing, the one I linked in my comment:

"On June 23, 1960 the USSR gave the go ahead to the N-1 project via a decree: "On the Development of Powerful Launch vehicles, Satellites, Spacecraft, and Space Exploration 1960-1967". This was Sergei Korolev’s design for a family of launchers, the key one being the largest, the N-1.

This initial design while a powerful heavy lift rocket, had a planned payload capacity of 75 tonnes - a lot less than that for a lunar landing mission. Korolev was thinking flyby missions of Mars, which require a much lighter payload."

Why is it so hard to accept the moon landing was just pompous Americanism?

I just want to see a comparison between the waste, that's all. If it really is worse I'll accept it as worse

I can imagine It's easier to manage nuclear waste than fly ash

Not seeing how building a rocket to compete with Saturn V means they were also racing to the moon

From the references of the wiki article on the N1 rocket

Salyut and Mir prove the Soviet's focus was on manned missions in low earth orbit and not the moon, and considering nobody has gone back to the moon since they've made the right call

So you're a florist? Name every shrub 🔫

Holy crap the moon is far

Soviets had no interest in going to the moon (yet) and were more focused on living in space before going outside earth's orbit. The US was waving it in public on its own

Think beyond your own lifetime

Is the Chinook actually bad?

Maybe it was a particularly stinky ant

You know it's bad when the first reaction is "again??"

Someone already mentioned Disco Elysium, system shock 2 and BioShock are also very good

I can accept the argument that it's safe and effective but the public irrationally won't accept it. Seems to have been a pretty good sell on the other side of the curtain though

Coal waste (fly ash) releases 100 times more radiation than shielded nuclear waste

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste/

I doubt solar wind and hydro create any radioactive waste though. Again though would like to see a comparison of their waste vs the shielded casks
