This sounds amazing. One mode you can be a cat stuck in a house with 3 other cats that don’t get along. You have to try to drop a deuce without getting attacked, you have to mark territory without making your “owner” upset about peeing in the house.

I think this is where “compartmentalization” comes in. Similar in concept to how you are forced to wall off sadness when a loved one dies so that you can continue to live your life, I think there are mentally competent right wingers, but they wall off the logic and reasoning so that it applies only to machines. They do this because if those ideas of logic and reason get beyond the wall/outside of the compartment, the meaning of their lives falls apart.
So they’re really going for it huh?
Political pressure comes in part from people like me who live around here and where they’d look for other sites. I don’t want trucks full of nuclear waste constantly being trucked through my area (and your area!), I don’t want to be viewed as a bomb target by enemies. I don’t want trucks of nuclear waste around the country being viewed as dirty bomb targets.
Even without the political pressure, how is nuclear power clean when massive massive holes in the ground have to be created and maintained with huge trucks and cranes using fossil fuels so we have a place to store waste that will be dangerous for tens of thousands of years? Yucca Mountain has taken decades to approve and build, any other sites will likely also. Spent nuclear fuel having to be trucked across the country using fossil fuels and tires, at best can be converted to battery power.
Nuclear plants take a decade or more to build, we don’t have that kind of time when it comes to climate change.
Nuclear power makes nuclear disarmament that much less likely
All of this is also assuming our current civilization continues for tens of thousands of years unbroken. If for some reason 500 years from now civilization broke down or was taken over and the average person couldn’t read English anymore, how would we transmit the idea of everlasting danger in a geographic region to those who may see things very differently?
I’ll be in my office downloading some files.
fr, I’m living in a bubble for the rest of my life.
It’s just the radioactive waste we don’t know what to do with and becoming a military or terrorist target parts that are dangerous.
I ate lunch and my cat pooped, anyone else want to mention two random events?
As another commenter mentioned, the government (the state) is not a person and cannot care.
Government and the state are tools. The thing about some tools is that they are really only useful towards certain ends. The state is fundamentally a tool of maintaining and expanding power. While it’s possible for those with power to do some good things, their overall effect is to allow the domination of most by the few.
Government requires a state to function, a state as in a subset of the population claiming exclusive acceptable use of force in a given area.
So, we can refuse people that seem right wing too right?
Oh ya? Ok I’ll try thanks!
Makes me wish I wasn’t so quick to delete my account.
Interesting, and good advice, thx.
It’s funny people think there’s going to be a nice future where you can choose to live in Phoenix or some other fine place surely with plenty of water and no consequences from climate change or fascism.
Yep, and RedHat would be asses to try, it’s not like they made Linux.
Beau (of the fifth column) has a cool shirt that says something like “Beyond these borders do not lie a lesser people.”
What does it do for the blind community, like text to audio conversion or something?
That’s a thought I did not need in my head.
