In their defense, it’s way easier than doing actual journalism.

“Fake news”

That’s the reaction I usually get when the cognitive dissonance starts to get too much.

It’s all he’s got.

There are valid reasons to attack the Biden administration but Trump lacks the intellectual capacity to do so, hence the constant fear mongering about pet eating immigrants.

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

There’s a few ingredients missing from the recipe he puts in the comments so watch the video closely if you’re going to try it.

Also 1kg of dried rice - I measured out that amount and yes, it’s the same as he uses but it’s just way too much.

I don’t need to cite any specific one because it’s obvious they’re being created and it’s obvious they’d increase cost.

You look like a fool.

Maybe one day you’ll come to appreciate the irony on display here but I somehow doubt it.

Last thing and then I’m done with you:

To recap, you asserted that red tape and regulations are preventing nuclear from being competitive.

OK, fair enough. I asked for just a single example of a regulation that could be done away with and that would reduce costs in a meaningful way as it’s pretty much your entire argument.

You haven’t been able to do this.

You lose, I’m done with you for real now. Have a nice weekend.

Clearly this is due to increased regulations

So name one.

As we’ve established, you can’t. You’re not a serious person and so I’m not going to waste any more of my time on you.

You’re like every other nuclear bro I’ve interacted with; no amount of evidence, logic, or facts will persuade you because you didn’t use those to come to your present position. You’re a Japanese holdout, still flighting the war long after your side lost.

Oh, but it’s regulations, you say. That pesky red tape that I can’t cite even once even though it definitely 100% is because that’s what my feels tell me.

I expect to see you again in another nuclear discussion saying the same shit you’re saying now and you’ll probably still be saying it even after the last reactor on earth is decommissioned.

I could use some help with the metric shit ton of chicken biryani I made a couple of days ago.

The fact that it costs more and takes longer in the US

Not a fact. Hinckley C in the UK is facing similar cost and time overruns.

I don’t need to know which ones those are to know that’s true.

You absolutely do if you don’t want anyone capable of rational thought to think you’re full of shit.

As I said, “If you have any regulations that could be done away with in a safe manner and would make a sizable difference to the cost then cite them.”

If you can’t do that, just say so.

Nuclear is cheap and safe:

Your sources don’t mention anything about price, unless I’m missing something.

Great input.

Meanwhile you just trot out the usual nonsense about how we would all be living in a glorious nuclear utopia if it wasn’t for those pesky oil companies while providing no proof yourself.

The bottom line is that if nuclear could compete on price then we would be building more nuclear but it’s just not competitive. If you have any regulations that could be done away with in a safe manner and would make a sizable difference to the cost then cite them.

You’re being downvoted, as is tradition, but you’re right.

Agreed. I love the drums too, really loose vibe to them.

It sounds like The Rolling Stones but it’s only Mick, plus Ry Cooder on slide guitar.

That’s not really what posy truth is about IMO.

I largely agree with what you said but Trump and Vance’s lies are a contributing factor to our post truth world. They’re following people like Putin and trying to create an environment where the truth is malleable to the point of being worthless and people are conditioned to believe there is no longer such a thing as objective truth because that environment gives them the greatest chance of maintaining power.

We have more overt fact-checking. if that trend continues, it can help push back on the patent falsehoods.

We don’t though. Fact checking after the debate is of limited use. If you don’t confront a lie the second it’s told, the liar will rapidly go on to tell more lies and you end up with a Gish gallop of bullshit which is what we saw from Vance and Trump. They got away with it. A fact checking article on NPR the morning after does very little.

But first, a word from our sponsors.
