Chernobyl
But that was a really old tech, the plants built after 1990s shouldn’t allow this scale of pollution even if all the stops are pulled and everything breaks in the worst way possible

Of course it is, now fall back in line, citizen!

Would be interesting to take a look through such a window.

But we could put ads during the new moon 🌑→🌚

I’m going to park my horse in the office then, good point

I think you should’ve put TL;DR in the beginning, otherwise it looked like you’re arguing cows don’t fart, when you were actually about net effect.
I never thought about it from this side, but it makes sense, and seems like another way big corporations fuck the world up.

It’s just time travellers from original timeline that tried to prevent it, and time travellers from the fucked up resulting timeline that returned to fix everything back to at least what it was
- Comment on Post-election blues 1 week ago:
It will do nothing, and I personally don’t think it should be done. But as a thought experiment it shows that saying other authoritarian countries’ citizens that they just ‘didn’t riot hard enough and this are all to blame’ was a bit wrong

But if it’s on Truth Social then it’s certified true
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 2 weeks ago:
Well then they will have to slightly extend the term (until death do them part)
- Comment on This hair product remains effective up to 230 degrees C which is really handy because when I'm exposed to ovenlike temperatures, my first thought is "Oh no, my hair!" 2 weeks ago:

Bonus points if you guess correct 🌚

I’m with you, I’d joke about circumcision (and maybe ran away 🥲)

Maybe better use second most popular: Spanish, it at least uses same letters (differently though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
However you define it, a central nervous system or other type of similar central unit would have to be a requirement, because that is what would actually be sentient
Without CNS there would be something else sophisticated enough to show sentience that would have been sentient. So to me it looks like this is not really a requirement, albeit it’s simpler to say that it is.
As a side note, I think that given how human-centric humans are (which is to be expected, really) even if we were living with another sentient species on the same planet we would argue they are not sentient for whatever reason we could come up with, and change sentience definition accordingly
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
lectured on semantics rather than responding to the meaning
this is ironic
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
not even all vegans who don’t use honey agree on whether or not a vegan can use honey
Exactly this, veganism is ethical choice, and ethics is not science. You can’t ‘prove’ that something is acceptable, nor vice versa. There are guidelines and discussions but that’s pretty much it.
So this is really not about whether bees are animals or not.

But you can ignore the response if you decide to not deal with it
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
How do you make sure you understood the idea if the word choice is incorrect? You may assume from context what the idea was, but you may as well assume wrong. And the more such assumptions exist in one dialogue, the further it is from information exchange, and the closer it is to not listening at all because you already knew the context before the dialogue
- Comment on Why, in English at least, is the letter W called "double U" and not "double V"? 5 weeks ago:
Schools do teach, and once students are out of elementary school they never write a letter of cursive again. So in effect, it could’ve been not taught at all.
- Comment on Cold Hard Reality 5 weeks ago:
I’d disagree, Kafka has a specific not-quite-nightmare but a very unpleasant dream air to many of his works, and that is what I perceive as Kafkaesque. Meaningless requirements, broken logic, ill-advised actors and some such.
If anything, I find The Trial to be better reflecting Kafka’s style, and be less unpleasant than The Metamorphosis maybe because it doesn’t depict family members that dream of getting rid of main character.

“But what about others being insufferable?”
A bit of a missed point

Saber toothed shit is a serious reason

I think the hate is a bit unwarranted, but be wary that it does sometimes fail anything
- Comment on Anon plants a seed of doubt 5 weeks ago:
You would look higher when sitting, I guess. Not sure if it counts as a social interaction
- Comment on Anon has a problem with inaccurate game titles 5 weeks ago:
I’ve read a wiki page about it, critics didn’t even score it too low. To me it seems that the issue was that Sony tried to make something just to profit off, without considering making it fun or novel, unexpectedly people didn’t want to pay for yet another multiplayer shooter without anything new.

Not in Australia, though
- Comment on When somebody backs up their argument with a 90-minute video 1 month ago:
Affecting passage of time looks like a difficult idea to come up with an analogy.
For the better gravity analogy, I think a rubber sheet that has something pulling together at a “gravity well” and lines drawn on it may work better, but I’m not sure 😅
