Some people live in little self contained bubbles, and their language can change to reflect this truth much faster than you’d think.

Little bits of slang and terms that exist no where else.

Cults do it all the time with some degree of intent, but any subgroup will develop their own language.

Genetic testing has shown that the Palestinians are, by and large, Canaanites.

They are by default a semitic people.

Don’t forget the constant tweets that sound like they came straight out of the Turner Diaries.

The fix isn’t more cheating. Although some prison time for the worst offenders is appropriate.

No, the true fix is taxes on the rich until they no longer have the power to skew society.

And a national voting holiday, with a voting system that doesn’t ever force you to chose the lesser evil.

Score, Approval, and STAR are three options that would actually do it. All three are cardinal voting systems. We all use variations of the three for low stakes decisions, but for some reason, we decided that the most broken Ordinal voting systems should be used for high stakes decisions.

How so? A table is made of wood, but I wouldn’t call it a tree.

I remember the same bullshit from two weeks ago.

Mitch is dead or vegetative.

But him being dead or vegetative hurts Republicans more than fighting to prove it.

I will add context to your factual statement with the existence of regulations requiring safety systems to deal with what is called a Double Ended Guillotine break in the primary coolant line. In over 70 years, with reactors in 35 countries, there has never been a Double Ended Guillotine break in the primary coolant line, because it’s physically impossible. Pipes don’t break like that, they just can’t break like that.

The actual (still extremely rare) failure condition is called Leak Before Break.

The safety systems required to prevent the imaginary Double Ended Guillotine break cost millions of dollars per unit and actually make it harder to implement safety systems for Leak Before Break.

I mean, the political sabotage has been out in the open?

Also, Onkalo is a perfectly safe waste storage.

But reprocessing it would be orders of magnitude better. Every single element produced in a reactor has a valid use, especially the short lived radioactive ones.

You do know that Uranium oxide is water soluble right?

There are literally billions of tons of the stuff in the ocean already.

And the effects of all of it are easily calculable, because it’s been done.

A major part of it is that nuclear hasn’t been allowed to be cheap.

There’s been active sabotage from the oil industry since the beginning, starting with the Rockefeller Foundation sponsoring fraudulent science via their employee, Herman Mueller. To the CEO of Atlantic oil funding the creation of an explicitly anti-nuclear environmentalist group called Friends Of The Earth in 1970 or so.

Which coincidentally was about the time that the Rockefeller Foundation started funneling money to another explicitly anti-nuclear environmentalist group called Greenpeace.

The political pressure from these groups, plus direct pressure from the oil companies, got extremely restrictive regulations passed, with the goal, and result, of making nuclear more expensive to build and operate.

Look up the double guillotine break, which is a nonsense requirement that nuclear engineers have to design around. Nonsense because the equipment required to prevent this impossible scenario make it harder to deal with the actual likely scenario, which is leak before break.

There was a piece on npr a few days back, all things considered, that talked to someone who was talking about search and seo and ai and such.

The tldr was that seo tools before ai gave you a lot of information that you could use to grow a website. Ai search on the other hand is a black box that may or may not do anything at all.

It also corrupts, but by association with other rich assholes. But to get to that level, you need to have no morals.

Also money separates you from reality. These tech ceos often have entire wings of the headquarters to themselves, hidden behind private security. With only yes men left to talk to.

It does sometimes lead to good outcomes, like when Steve Jobs thought that a fucking insane diet would cure his (at the time) fairly treatable cancer.

The “gameplay loop” of the elevator broke and then my ship blew up for no fucking reason.

The game breaking bugs outnumber the features.

But Chris Roberts has another ship to sell you, so you pay $50 and eat it all up.

Sadly they still are in some areas of the world.

Particularly the middle east.

Not a diaper changer. That seriously downplays what she actually does and her insanity.

She not a nurse or anything else reasonable. She was an OAN “news anchor” and was easily the most insane Trump worshiper on that network.

She now has access to Trumps social media and posts under his name, including replying to other world leaders, and giving orders to other parts of the government via tweet.

But mostly she’s a fluffer. Trumps ego, trumps dick, she rides both.
