The air is plenty clean as it is

Tell that to the people in East Palestine Ohio. Tell that to the people that live near coal plants.

as long as you don’t live in California

Doesn’t matter where you live if the planet is uninhabitable.

Wanting to breath clean air on a habitable planet isn’t insanity.

It’ll look like what we already have. Swaths of users self hosting, with lots of redundancy to deal woth instances that have problems.

And that might mean it needs to stay small, but that’s OK. Not all success is measured in popularity.

Embrace extend extinguish

Don’t federate with corps, it will only end badly

Our electoral system is inherently biased against 3rd party candidates due to the spoiler effect of first past the post voting. The only solution is election reform that regulates election finances, a switch to approval/STAR voting, and regulation on political ads.

Que lindo. Mi novia es de Costa Rica. La visita para su familia cada año. Estamos emocionado para visitar en Noviembre.

It’s definitely fucked up. It reminds me of the WKUK breakfast pig sketch.

They actually get the opposite, support from their party. Because if you’re the minority party and you’re able to kill legislation that the majority party wants, it’s seen as a victory.

You can’t wait out an indefinite filibuster. And it gets to become indefinite because they don’t actually need to talk at all.

You cloture the person

And that essentially isn’t an option at times due to how difficult it is to reach the 60 vote threshold, which means nothing gets done, which means congress is basically useless.

Agreed. It’s just a disaster all around honestly. It can change, but it’s not easy.

That’s how it used to work, not anymore:

A filibuster raises the vote threshold, so it’s not something you can just wait out. And thank to how the filibusterer works nowadays, congressmen don’t actually need to get up there and talk, they can merely threaten to filibuster to raise the vote threshold.

Congress can’t do anything because of the filibuster, two party system, and republicans though. The whole thing honestly needs an overhaul.

This is what humans have been saying about auto exhaust, factory emissions, agricultural emissions etc for a hundred years. It’s turned out wrong in every way.

There is a key difference, fossil fuel use inherently ends up leaving pollution in the atmosphere, nuclear power does not do anything of the same.

it, isn’t your position basically the same as the right wing position on climate change?

Nope. It’s not even close

That even if it exists humans are too small to actually effect the huge atmosphere so it’s not human caused.

That’s not even close to what I am saying.

All sea water is radioactive already, and has been since before humans got nukes. And thats because all sea water has tritium at low levels. When we release water that is at the same level as sea water, nothing changes.

It’s like adding a red ball or playdoh to a red ball of playdoh. There’s not going to be a difference. Fossil fuels on the other hand would be like adding a black ball of playdoh to a red one.

that would just be high up in that water cycle. In places where private companies would be out of the eyes of watchdog groups

That is not what I am suggesting.

There is no guarantee of anything.

But if you’re storing it hundreds of miles from the ocean, the risk is minimal.

In the case of radioactive water, yes. Our oceans are huge, and there is no real impact.

We should worldwide be putting trillions into both. Renewables should be first priority, but not all locations have good solar, wind, and battery options.
