Your ‘argument against GMOs’ is an argument against seed patents, not GMOs. That’s the same as saying there’s an ‘argument against insulin’ because big companies own the patents and charge lots of money. The product is absolutely irrelevant to the conversation.

None of these points are relevant. Nobody is selling SMRs as better than large-scale plants (at least I hope they’re not). The point of SMRs is that they are much easier to bring in and put down. A huge portion of the world still runs on fossil fuels, often with frequent brownouts or scheduled blackouts. Being able to bring in a RELIABLE non-fossil fuel power plant at a smaller scale would be huge. Distributed solar has some pretty awesome potential for individual households if you don’t care about on- demand power, but you do eventually need something for your denser cities etc.

Yes, this looks much better. My other thought would be road-rail buses, but getting on/off the tracks might be too much work to be worth the extra flexibility.

That looks horrible. Cramped, the giant windows means it’s hot and the sun is always in your eyes… Any reason they need to only use one rail? We already have road & rail buses, trucks, etc…just use those.

Shit, came here to say the same thing.

Whoops. Should not use social media when tired, I glossed right over that.

Probably circumcision

Please just do automated trams.

It unironically is.

Posts like the above are why I’m a communist now.

Megamind. Just Megamind. The Incredibles is good, but Megamind is first class.

This is the best part of a TTRPG.

Are we counting raising kids? Because I feel like that would be the answer for the supermajority of people. It’s super necessary work that society is utterly dependent on, yet we insist on not compensating.

Shit, we could just do UBI for parents and we’d be 80% there.

Easy, don’t use grid squares, use zones.

This meme brought to you by theater of the mind gang.

How can we reconcile eugenics in dogs but not humans?

That’s the neat part, you don’t.

If you’re in the right space for some advice on going veggie, I found it surprisingly easy. Just think about what meals you eat that don’t have meat in them or where they are optional. Spaghetti? Extra peppers and mushrooms instead of ground beef. Tacos? Beans instead of pork. Burgers? Black bean and corn burgers are legit better than the impossible burgers, no lie (they’re in the frozen section). Literally just think of like three things you like that have no meat in them (yes, donuts and pizza count) and just try making those for a week. Add on more stuff as you think of it. I went from pork chops for dinner every day to fully vegetarian in a couple weeks. I couldn’t believe it.

Oh, she did that on purpose…just to intimidate her enemies.

Always have been.

He’s calling for direct action against American imperialism. If that scares you, I suggest taking a good hard look at the world and what America has done to it. Believe me, nothing that could happen to America would be worse than it’s done to others.

No war but class war.

You’re attempting sarcasm, but it kinda falls flat when the liberals did indeed line up to give more funding to Israel right alongside the conservatives.
