Generally when a fact is established it does become the “standard counterpoints” people use.
You personally said “Nuclear waste is scary” - that’s why I said people fearmonger. If you’re informed you’d actually understand it’s a very safe form of waste
Also you said it wasn’t due to poor operation, but then state an example of a plant being poorly operated. If those were obvious and established problems that they already should have been able to account for, then someone dicked it up. Nuclear is only dangerous when it’s irresponsibly used. We already have accounted for the mayor pitfalls. It’s not worth saying it’s dangerous, bad for the environment, or scary in terms of waste.
Nuclear energy isn’t some half theory or some risky experiment, it’s pretty well established and understood at this point.
I also said people in general shouldn’t be so politically involved when they’re not informed, I actually said that because I shared and hoped you would be able to agree on that. I wasn’t demeaning you.
The coal industry emits magnitudes more unvetted radiation than any nuclear power plant will in it’s whole lifetime; as in, radiation is undetectable around a modern nuclear plant.
Plus coal and oil extraction has it’s own problems with radiation. Nuclear produces stable, storable waste that if handled and buried correctly will never become an ecological issue.
They’re built to a modern standard where it’s practically foolproof. Fukushima held up to an enormous earthquake followed by several tsunamis; that’s despite the poor operation of the plant.
The damage we would have to cause to compromise and get rid of any nuclear reliance is far more immediate and concerning.
Nuclear isn’t actually as complicated nor unpredictable as you’d think. They’ve solved ways to avoid melt downs such as the fuels being improved, the amount they process at one time, their cooling and the redundancies. The physical design of a modern station takes into account the worst situations that any given amount of fuel can give in a meltdown such as deep wells that are situated under a reactor to melt into. You won’t likely ever see in our lifetimes a station reaching critical meltdown and it not be because a government or private company cut corners.
Scientists are doing this work, they know what they know and they know what they’re doing, it’s not really for everyone to politically involve ourselves with when no one ever does any valid research or basic knowledge of science without fear mongering.
Decided to play KSP again after months of ignoring it. (Due to performance)
Managed to strip some unnecessary mods and parts of my ship.
Now it only just crashes once or twice a day.
Same, so I gain my minimum sustenance to work for my overlord employer and pay my "well invested" taxes to the government who grants me this quality of life. How could my landlord live if I'm greedy and eat too frequently or varied.
Sorry to hear, I do sympathise. I hope things get better for us. I'm still figuring out how to pay my new 30% rent increase this month after five previous rises this year already…

If I'm walking in a lake waist high to avoid brain amoebas, you'll get the joke.
Parasite Eve 2.
But not the horrible attempts they made with the later additions (that hardly followed the canon of the story or style anyway).
Every time I see the band's name from a glance I'm like… "Thunber…? Oh wait." Great group though!! Fantastic singer!
I guess I'll be boiling the whole lake then… Don't wanna get amoebas up my bum.
Edit: Bit weird several people need to correct this joke when it's explained only above how they entered the brain. My comment indicates I wouldn't be putting my head under water because of it.
Damn.

“There’s been a rumor that – you know, a very nice rumor – that you go outside in the sun or you have heat and it does have an effect on other viruses,”
“I’m going to speak to the medical doctors to see if there’s any way that you can apply light and heat to cure, you know, if you could.”
I had a good few years running until you did that, mate…
That’s the thing, we all have to compromise. I don’t support it either, but if something unethical happens, and people still want to keep supporting it, we have to at least convince them to use the “best version” of said thing so it’s at least as humane as we can make it possibly be. I’m shocked we still continue to use these complicated and ancient methods of execution that have questionable reliability or ethics when it comes to suffering.
It’d be interesting to see how it would be used for AS for sure!
I think I was partially addicted after having used it routinely out of boredom and free time for over a decade…
But once RIF and the other 3rd party apps got strangled out, and RES went into a state of no longer being updated, I couldn’t power use Reddit anymore. So once those were uninstalled and removed, I had given myself no choice. Out of principle I couldn’t support them and how they treated their mods or communities, nor could I use the site in their epically stupid vanilla default way, I had to just quit.
Cold turkey since.
Will admit, I have to search online for technical help, and a lot of discussion did and still does happen on Reddit, so I’ll still occasionally have to use the site for reference. But no interacting with it at all.
I still feel the twitches and urges to use it from so many years of habit, and it’s difficult, but I’ve managed to do it.
Shame there’s not as many people so inclined to use Reddit just a little less, doesn’t even need to be cold turkey; it WOULD make a difference. But there’s nothing wrong with using it, and you shouldn’t be judged for it either. It’s fine to be anti Reddit, but not anti user… in most cases ha ha! I’m pro voice and choice! ;D
I’m trying to use this as an alternative, and out of necessity as content does run thin sometimes on Lemmy I do end up using it less than I did with Reddit. But that’s healthy for me personally.
There’s less pressure and competitiveness on here for me, so I try to post better quality comments/content than I may have used to on Reddit. When Lemmy isn’t down or breaking my comment/post submissions I’ll have a better time engaging with the site, I don’t find myself rushing to comment before 400 irrelevant (sometimes one word) comments wash it away and bury it like on Reddit. I don’t find myself writing half a comment, and then deciding to quit half way as much.
Plus, people engage with posts and see them much longer than on Reddit, usually after a single day their posts would be entirely dead; guess it’s mostly due to less users at this point though.

That doesn’t mean someone isn’t going to pull those up to reprimand you, or monitor your work.
There’s privacy from personal things, then there’s overbearing micro management who will literally track “Mouse hovering” and “Keyboard Idle Time” or how long you take to write an email.
Amingst the other creative ways they can try to keep you at a level “non promotable” status or whatever leverage to control you.
I’ve never had to suffer from it, I do my job, but as a systems admin/engineer for over 15 years, I’ve definitely worked at places that implemented it at our expense, or we had to set it up for our clients using it against their own staff.
Thankfully for Hagdos, he’s not working around neutron irradiators or that’d be a gruesome lesson.
