Sorry, I meant to say new private investment
- Comment on nuclear 6 days ago:
Solar and wind are currently both cheaper than coal, and rapidly getting cheaper.
Nuclear is more expensive, and the cost is growing. There will be almost certainly be no private investment in nuclear in the future unless it’s ideologically driven.

The half life of fall-out from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs was a couple of decades.
The half life of nuclear waste from powerplants is anywhere from thousands of years to millions of years, depending on the mix of isotopes.
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 week ago:
Your assertion has even less basis though… It’s been a day, if it weren’t true surely they would have issued a refutation…
If you’d put “probably” in your statement you’d be on more solid ground.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
Is it though? The US still has the death penalty, and the person who commits those killings just gets paid and how’s home.
And none of those people of death row are responsible for even a small fraction of the evil private health insurers are capable of.
- Comment on How am I supposed to obtain income? 2 weeks ago:
You might be right. Personally it doesn’t seem that way to me, but ultimately people end up wherever they end up, and it’s often hard to disentangle why.
One thing that does seem different in those skills that you mentioned, is that drawing and singing are creative/artistic, which means that there’s no “correct” outcome. If you fuck up fixing a car, it doesn’t work, and you have the immediate and direct feedback that you’ve done it wrong.
With drawing or singing, if you do it wrong, you only really have your self-image and personal aesthetics to answer to. You can get really good and still hate everything you do, and there’s no way someone can show you that you’re objectively wrong, because it’s a taste thing. OTOH you can do it technically “badly” forever, but like what you do, and if you stick with it enough, then maybe you just made a new style of art.

There might be elements that can’t be learned, but there are plenthy that can. A lot of it is just attitude. Perserverence and a willingness to acknowledge and learn from your mistakes and not get too frustrated when things break, I’d say that’s 90% of it.
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think you can answer that question from those numbers. They are percentages. The difference they make depends a lot on the total population in each group.
- Comment on I do not want to do anything. Is this addiction? 4 weeks ago:
You might be right, but there’s not that much in the post that clearly points to burnout. The comment about stress might, but it really depends what OP meant there, and whether that stress feeling is related to their work, or something else.
If it is related to their work, then yeah, burnout could be a big part of it. In which case talking to a supervisor or a school counselor might be a good idea.

I liked the old aibnb one.

The conversation here is about mastodon

The vast majority of users are on general instances without demands like that. If you don’t want to join an exclusive club, just pick a sever that is not intended to be an exclusive club (I.e. nearly any of the big ones).

- Comment on Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? 2 months ago:
Pity, 'cause it’s a great question, and a great trope. I can think of a few good examples. Maybe it’s time to start a TVTropes account and get editing.
- Comment on It's coming! :( 2 months ago:
I didn’t know what it was, so I looked it up. Their description is here:
blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/2024/08/…/ppa-update/
It sounds interesting… It also sounds like it will fail, because Mozilla seems to think that trackers are primarily interested in collecting ad stats, and that targeted advertising is less critical, but I think in reality it’s the other way around, and advertisers won’t accept such a limited solution.
