  The correct way to do this is by making them into meatballs and make a meatball sub.

  They came out all right at the end.

  Just because burning fossil fuels is bad doesn’t magically make nuclear good, or somehow no big deal. The chance for a catastrophic accident mentioned in the meme is only one drawback (which is bad enough–get real, denial is not a strategy here). Just a few other issues:

  • the problem of what to do with the waste: no permanent solutions have yet been implemented and we’ve been using costly-to-maintain “temporary” methods for decades. Not to mention the thermal water pollution to aquatic ecosystems

  • the enormously out of proportion up front costs to construct the plants, and higher ongoing operation and maintenance costs due to safety risks

  • the fact that uranium is also a limited resource that has to be mined like other ores, with all the environmental negatives of that, which then has to go through a lot of processing involving various mechanics and chemicals just to make it usable as fuel.

  Anyway I’m not going to try and spell it all out on a forum post–this topic is something you have to put in some effort to learn about, but all this advocacy for a very problematic method of producing power as if it’s a simple solution to our problems is kind of irritating. We should be focusing on developing renewable and sustainable energy.

  There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would’ve never seen all this coming…

  Unfortunately, all this is pretty much a backlash to that event.

  So based on this type of criteria, God created men to fuck things up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, boomers invented forums. Millenials invented Web 2.0 (as they called it) and destroyed the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what Michael Bloomberg thought and he was wrong, too.

  I have never bought an appliance or physical product that requires an app to use, and I never will until our society has deteriorated to the the point where there is no alternative to that in order to get by in it. It’s almost at that point already with smartphones but for now it’s still possible to get by without one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same! I’m in a red state but I have voted in every election since I reached the age to vote (a looong time ago). Yeah, my state always goes red for POTUS but I still vote Dem for POTUS so we don’t look like we’re a total shithole state. We have a Dem governor, a Dem House rep in DC, and my personal State senator and rep are Dems, too–I helped put them there. Dems are still quite outnumbered in the State legislature, but there’s been enough of them to keep the repubs from overriding the governor’s veto of some of their fascist bullshit bills. Every bit helps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! It’s the total votes statewide that determines the winner (POTUS and Senator), no matter which areas of the state they come from. Besides that, a showing of more blue votes in red areas makes a bigger statement to powers-that-be, campaign analysts, etc. than blue votes in blue areas. Represent!

  And as everyone else is saying, vote blue for every office on the ballot. The state, county, and city levels are just as important as the national level if not more so. Vote in every election no matter what, even if no one you voted for wins, it matters how close the races are so Dems know where to concentrate their efforts.
