I mean, every existent species is the result of millions of generations. We all fill our niches, until we don’t. So even the humble tortoise is just as remarkable as us in that way, but I bet they will outlast us given how long they’ve existed.

The thing that always stuck with me about evolution is that we are related to everything. The pup I’m sitting next to is pretty close to me in terms of evolutionary time, the potatoes I ate are a lot more distant, but it is still my cousin, etc. It really makes me feel like I’m part of the world knowing that.

True enough. But given that we are going to drive ourselves to extinction in a geological blink of an eye, it really didn’t do us that great. Should have evolved into a crab.

I thought it was our ability to just run and run and run that broke evolution.

It got wrecked. Because of that fact, many people are calling for the Great Lakes to be nuked.

The density of uranium always fucks with me. How can something that takes up so little volume weigh so much?

The funny this is that I was a nuke person for a long time, until the facts changed. Nukes were really great fifteen years ago. But solar and wind have surpassed them in terms of cost so my opinion changed. Good shit.

I’m curious how you think adding nukes have an advantage here. You understand that nukes are not easily shut down? If we have a problem with an over abundance of energy, adding nukes to the grid only makes that problem worse.

We already have 30% nukes. Right now we need more solar and wind. I’m not saying shut down nukes. They are good. They are just a waste of money and time to build new when we have cheaper and easier to produce alternatives.

In the US we already have something like 30% which alleviates pretty much all the storage concerns. For our dollar right now, solar and wind are the best place to invest.

Given that solar and wind are cheaper, get built to schedule and far less likely to have cost overruns, this meme is bullshit.

Sure, nukes are great. But we need clean energy right the fuck now. Spending money on new nukes is inefficient when it could be spent on solar and wind.

There is literally no downside because the Supreme Court is already a completely bought joke.

Very exciting.

I stand corrected. Thank you sir or madam.

There is a saying: “Safety rules are written in blood.”

It has mp3 in the name. Must be ok.

Because LLMs are planet destroying bullshit artists built in the image of their bullshitting creators. They are wasteful and they are filling the internet with garbage. Literally making the apex of human achievement, the internet, useless with their spammy bullshit.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This is evil. This will lead to deaths of children. Fuck everyone involved. I wish there was a hell for TERFs to go to.

My man Eugen Debbs ran from prison in the early 1900s. He was thrown in prison for speaking out again the war (the first amendment wasn’t much protection back in the day).

It is good that he could run, since he was a political prisoner. He advocated for the common man against the corrupt institutions.
