- Comment on Are people in the stock photos real? 9 months ago:
I was chatting with a stock photographer a while back. Apparently the most important thing is the tags that you give the photos. The best ones are abstract because you aren't competing with "hand" and "pen". If you can make your photo of a hand holding a pen fit "wistful" or "trenchant" then you have a better chance of it being seen. Making thousands of weird photos like a hammer/screwdriver/wand being held over a watermelon/plastic duck/brick by a clown/policeman/nurse and giving them abstract tags is the way to go.

They should have been ramping it up 20 years ago. -Termism fucks us again. Better late than never, I suppose.

There needs to be a mix of sources, and unfortunately nuclear is the best way to provide a reliable source that can be ramped up or down instantly to plug gaps in supply from renewables.

Yes, people argue all the time and say exactly the same stupid things all the time and it gets really tedious.

It's blindingly obvious cycling is not a panacea for all transport and no one is suggesting it is. Yet here they are, all pointing out what everyone knows in response to a statement that was never made.

As soon as bicycles are mentioned, everyone suddenly has to transport their washing machine 200 miles in sub zero temperatures.
- Comment on would would the average skin tone and facial features after 300 years? 1 year ago:
You are just picking an arbitrary set of characteristics and calling it "race". Nature has no concept of race because we are all genetically different and there is no line that one crosses from being one race to another. Race is purely a human construct, and a very unhelpful one, as it is just another way to divide us.

There's genetic differences between you and everyone else in your family. Are you a different race to them?
