Ah, yes, let's have thousands of specialized apps, each with uniquely expiring dependencies and vulnerabilities, instead of one browser that can work with apps that are standardized for OSS, UI, accessibility, performance, inspection by humans and machines, and security.

future generations

lol

I heard that and it means nothing. There are many things happening at once. It's up to you to learn how to deal with more than one issue at a time.

Surprised at all the vegans in this thread

Life is harder for them when they're new arrivals and second-generation, meaning when they're a minority at any scale. That's fair, yes, they should not be mistreated.

But we have a problem with beliefs, and that problem is seen at scale, like in the places that they're coming from.

I refuse to ignore content and just focus on forms out of context. What's the plan on convincing people to drop horrible beliefs?

Because if I have to make an ethical choice to support some conservative patriarchal people who are refugees OR some queer people from anywhere, I'm going with the queer people, hands down, as the strategic move. This applies to those World religions. If you don't understand how traditionalists and conservatives have made the world horrible and wish to make it worse, let me know.

Here you go, bad faith: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/17/hamtramck-michigan-muslim-council-lgbtq-pride-flags-banned

Excellent

You expect good faith, but you promote religion which is founded on bad faith?

Up your standards first, then we talk seriously.

Well, it takes a village to raise a child. The capitalist culture also brings this idea of "nuclear family" which generates this impossible situation for the "nuclear family" to afford kids. Of course, the other aspect of this is the eugenicist/fascist aspect of: only the rich can afford kids, so them it makes sense, this nuclear family. It's not a problem to have a nuclear family if you're rich, and you can just replace the village by paying for extra caretakers... another type of commodified relationship. The rich can afford to pay a woman to babysit for years, while that woman can't afford to have a family or to see her kids (often because her family is in a different country). Family for me, but not for thee.

Quite the opposite, capitalists want more human resources, human capital. There's an entire ideology, at least centuries old, about this. You can most easily read about it as: pronatalism.

People aren't conditioned to think in a capitalist way, they're conditioned to think about their kids future not being worse than their present, since having kids can throw you into poverty.

how will it help? the stuff comes online in decades in the future. We need to reduce emissions now.

The best time to build them was decades ago, so clearly the second best time is to… Never? Your argument is taken straight from the oil and coal industries – it would take too long to build up renewables infrastructure, so let’s just not do it? We shouldn’t build windmills, because you can’t tell me how many we need globally?

You seem to be unaware of the plans and needs to reduce GHGs. We do not have decades to waste.

Thanks Russia.

Oh, it gets worse. Russia is big on nuclear, they have a whole agency that deals in nuclear in Europe, it's called ROSATOM.

This is related to other post with the fossil-fuel sponsored ecomodernist girl whining about Greenpeace and nuclear:

Russia lobbied to have the EU include nuclear energy and fossil methane to be included in the "sustainable" taxonomy: https://www.greenpeace.de/publikationen/20220517-greenpeace-report-russland-taxonomie.pdf (PDF)

Russia has a good stranglehold on nuclear energy: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-02-14/russia-s-grip-on-nuclear-power-trade-is-only-getting-stronger and many European powers ...compliant to that.

Russia's nuclear trade with Europe flowing amid Ukraine war https://web.archive.org/web/20221011224411/https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/russias-nuclear-trade-europe-flowing-amid-ukraine-war-90691865

European Union nations are continuing to import and export nuclear fuel that is not under EU sanctions on Russia

Russia’s Grip on Nuclear-Power Trade Is Only Getting Stronger https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-nuclear-power-uranium-plants-europe-imports-germany-sanctions-ukraine-war/

New data show exports in the strategic industry jumped more than 20% last year, as long-term projects boost Russian influence.

Here's an article in German: https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/uran-abhaengigkeit-russland-koennte-den-usa-noch-erhebliche-schmerzen-zufuegen-a-cad81a53-4704-4842-a641-1b6191e4add5

It's even more complicated, but building nuclear now in Europe would mean more dependency on Russian nuclear fuel and nuclear tech.

This includes France, the nuclear postergirl:

French Nuclear Power Crisis Frustrates Europe’s Push to Quit Russian Energy https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/18/business/france-nuclear-power-russia.html

France typically exports electricity, but now it risks blackouts and a need for imported power because of problems at the state nuclear operator.

France accused of funding Putin's war effort by buying his nuclear fuel https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/12/02/france-accused-aiding-putins-war-importing-russian-nuclear-fuel/

It's not just complicated, with many limits, but the useless yammer of nuclear-fanboys is just using up air in discourse.

Building more nuclear will not help with with climate warming mitigation. And it has its own problems with climate, as France knows...

(most recent time this happened, again) France to reduce nuclear power generation due to heat wave https://www.laprensalatina.com/france-to-reduce-nuclear-power-generation-due-to-heat-wave/ from a few weeks ago.

If you want to waste all your money, why not pick nuclear?

More reading for you:

Two’s a crowd: Nuclear and renewables don’t mix. Only the latter can deliver truly low carbon energy, says new study https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/10/201005112141.htm paper http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41560-020-00696-3

If countries want to lower emissions as substantially, rapidly and cost-effectively as possible, they should prioritize support for renewables, rather than nuclear power.

Slow, expensive and no good for 1.5° target: CSIRO crushes Coalition nuclear fantasy https://reneweconomy.com.au/slow-expensive-and-no-good-for-1-5-target-csiro-crushes-coalition-nuclear-fantasy/

Australia’s leading scientific research organisation, the CSIRO, has delivered a damning blow against the renewed push by the federal Coalition for nuclear power, saying it is expensive, and too slow to make a significant contribution to any serious climate targets.

Former Nuclear Leaders: Say ‘No’ to New Reactors https://www.powermag.com/blog/former-nuclear-leaders-say-no-to-new-reactors/

The former heads of nuclear power regulation in the U.S., Germany, and France, along with the former secretary to the UK’s government radiation protection committee, have issued a joint statement that in part says, “Nuclear is just not part of any feasible strategy that could counter climate change.”

Also, the fact that girl is promoting the rhetoric of "greens killed nuclear!!" should be a red flag. This is simply false, nuclear was killed by its expensive electricity. While greens may have taken credit, that was unearned credit.

To repeat myself a bit:

Renewables are more dynamic in production. You can turn them on and off quickly, you can scale them quickly too. You can’t do that with nuclear plants easily. Baseload is not a goal, it’s a limit.

That’s why the nuclear energy sector is friends with the coal sector.
