    i feel a narrator like from a p&c adventure would be nice sometimes

    “you can’t use that here”

    “there isn’t enough space to put that down”

    “you say, as if to yourself”

    “it’s firmly attached”

    “you could, but that would be theft”

    “it would just fall off, what would that be good for?”

    “it wont render properly, you have to add newlines inbetween”




  • toxic waste is more managable than radioactive waste. that is the logic that i am pounding on here.

    your logic says: let future generations take care of stuff we cant manage.

    and i say: it would be very irresponsible as we already have messed up the planet enough. let’s not add harder to manage waste to what’s already there.

    can we just agree to disagree?

    im not even saying we should ban research or something, there is still radioactive waste to manage


  • i do not think something that stays dangerous for longer than you have not shat your pants is negligible.

    if shitting your pants was the way to get rid of radioactive waste, i would be all for it, but as it stands all you would be left with would be tainted with nobody to clean it up for you. and somebody would still have to take care of the radioactive waste… it doesnt just vanish. there are no organisms that eat it up and make it into foodstuffs for others.

    maths can say it is negligible, but then sad hard reality kicks in and you have to be holding on to something that can kill not just you but anybody you tell to take over for you. this is not a place of honor


  • whats your problem? who said we want to keep using fossil fuels forever? to me, the thing about nuclear power is its waste products and the timescales on which that degrades into something less but still as dangerous as before slow clap

    did you know? getting insurance for a nuclear power plant is possible! but you might as well build a new nuclear power plant every year to spend that money more wisely… source some german paper: https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/kernkraft-ist-nachhaltig-nachhaltig-unversicherbar-a-f6d8ef67-4f51-4697-965a-add0480ca712

    we need to get off fossil fuels and nuclear fuels are one of them.

    i mean sure, choose a timescale large enough and even the sun becomes a fossil fuel, but thats silly: sipping-off-the-suns-emissions itself, the operation of solar panels is not really degrading anybodies quality of life, except perhaps those who might look down onto now reflecting rooftops… making them is of course power consuming, but we are making stuff that makes power which takes power… and instead of just nodding at each other and chugging along we start bickering about the not tasty, not smelly stuff that makes your hair fall out all funny like…and ogle at it? wtf?

    but ok you know what?: sure but only if you are personally responsible to have that thing in your backyard and fix it when it inevitably shits itself. also: garbage days are all yours now
