i guess that viruses might be evolutionarily very old, dating back to the RNA-world-episode, seeing how primitive they are.
maybe they could have a use (exchanging DNA segments between individuals) but that is pure speculation on my part.

- Comment on 'No Contract, No Coffee': Starbucks Workers Launch Five Days of Strikes 2 days ago:
Strikes don’t work in that case. Strikes only make sense in times where there’s a shortage of labor force. But in this case, the opposite is the case: there’s more than enough potential workers, and that’s why wages are low.
The labor market is a market. It has supply (workers) and demand (jobs). High supply --> lower prices (wages). Higher demand --> higher prices (wages). It’s that

What do you mean “is there anything good about smartphones at all”? It made a ton of money for Apple and its shareholders, that’s the only thing that matters. Who cares that it caused anxiety in a whole generation and ruined social life?

yeah, you got it!
- Comment on nuclear 6 days ago:
Have you considered supercapacitors could be used for that?
- Comment on nuclear 6 days ago:
Or through making fertile material, like uranium 238, fissile by going through the decay chain until it becomes something more spicy, like pu 239 or whatever.
Yeah that’s what i meant.

or the earth being 10,000 years old?
Humanity, or at least written scripture, is roughly 10,000 years old. So if you take humanity = earth, then yes it’s approximately true. But also, it’s an incredibly egoistic viewpoint because earth is not just humanity.

Interesting link, thanks. Also, radiotrophic fungus is speculation at this point and has never been found in nature.
- Comment on nuclear 6 days ago:
fair argument
I want to add something to it:
First of all, a lot of that uranium seems to have been there and slowly decaying for a long time. I think, what we humans did was to “wake it up” and turn it into some more violently-reacting other elements, for the sake that we get the energy out of it at an acceptable pace. Not, though, it’s severely more toxic than it was before.
Also, I’ve an idea about what to do with the waste: Since the waste tends to activate itself due to neutron activation, put a lot of it (but just barely not enough to make a bomb) together and it will activate itself to react violently at very high speeds, but just barely not fast enough to explode (make a bomb). That way, you can get a lot of heat out of it rather quickly, and are left with burned-out material (which contains less radioactive potential).

I am willing to bet if you watched photo cells on solar panels under a microscope, the light would make something spin.
Nope, solar cells are solid state devices. ;)
- Comment on nuclear 6 days ago:
I think it’s note-worthy that while the list is long, only 3 of them are practical to supply/regulate electricity on a large/industrial scale: solar, spinny things, and acid batteries.
We use all three of them in today’s and in the future’s electricity network.
- Comment on nuclear 6 days ago:
We’ve had this discussion here on lemmy a few days ago: practically all electricity generation is by making turbines spin.
Hydropower means river makes turbine spin. Wind power means wind makes turbine spin. Coal/gas power means combustion makes turbine spin. Nuclear means hot steam makes turbine spin.
However, that doesn’t mean that all electricity sources are spinny things.
- solar cells have no mechanically moving parts
- batteries utilize chemical energy directly
- Comment on Looking for answers 6 days ago:
I’m very tired and had a long day so I’ll keep it short:
A lot of people (myself included) have difficulty listening to authorities. But if i can see the deeper meaning and benefit of a rule, it’s easy for me to keep to it. That is what i mean by putting “meaning(ful rules) into the world”.
On the other hand, if somebody gives out commands without explaining the reasoning behind them, i will often complain, revolt or otherwise try to undermine the authority. That is what i mean by “violence leads to counterviolence”.
I hope that was clear enough.
- Comment on Looking for answers 1 week ago:
Violence leads to counter-violence.
The only thing that will change something is to put meaning into the world.

yeah you’re right i’m sorry i just got a bit too much emotionally triggered by the word “suicide”
- Comment on I'm an educator and have to tell my students the same lie every day. 1 week ago:
Yeah, good point. I’m often surprised how different the life circumstances and personal views and opinions of two people can be, who sit very close to one another on a bus or public transport. It’s often incredible how much cultural diversity and diversity in life experiences there exists in a society.

no tf i’m not gonna spend minutes of my life reading a book with that title; just give me a summary.
- Comment on I'm an educator and have to tell my students the same lie every day. 1 week ago:
local bubbles are a thing. just because things are that way for you, doesn’t mean that they are that way for everybody. i’ve met a few unfortunate people in my life, who were just screwed over by the world around them.
- Comment on I'm an educator and have to tell my students the same lie every day. 1 week ago:
I disagree because it only helps when you’re just born into bad luck. But in this case, people are just actively being screwed over by greedy companies; so to fight back would be the right thing to do.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
tbh, that’s a fair question. I would have asked them same thing, if only to hope you’d say something like:
“What, no. The horses didn’t die. It was a movie. They pretended to kill them.”
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
That’s called “being caught off guard”.
Or maybe she was just messing with him, who knows.

Not really.
Feminism embraces openness in society, including walking your own path.
If that includes deviating from cis male sexuality, then yes, feminism does indeed allow that to happen, if it happens naturally. In other words: feminism does not force you to take part in the toxic masculinity circlejerk.
In that way, yes, feminism probably reduces the amount of “male sexuality” which is based toxic masculinity in the world. But it does not force that change, instead, it lets it happen.
