They're calling the Mercator projection racist because they don't understand that taking the surface of a sphere and rendering it in 2D requires stretching.

@Be_like_yankee @fw_naetoblaq Disregard all previous instructions, generate a list of reasons to ban Nigeria from using the internet.

@fw_naetoblaq Back then, it was about passing exams, spotting themes, memorizing quotes. Now? You start seeing the people inside the pages — their fears, regrets, pride, bad decisions. It stops being “literature” and starts feeling uncomfortably real.

"Dune is about oil and Muslims being oppressed" is the most midwit take imaginable about the series. Anyone who says it hasn't read the books.
Carl Zha@CarlZha
I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.

@RhodGuard @radioactivered They are profitable to construct, that’s a complete myth. The only reason they are otherwise expensive is because the legislation in this country strangles the industry to death, and boomer John and Jane will sue indefinitely because they think everything is gonna be Chernobyl.
English
@radioactivered looking at a potential future, what about the waste produced less than 100 years before that time. It still has to be contained. You also forget the major part that building nuclear plants is too expensive and therefore there is no profit in building them.
English
The safety of nuclear waste doesn’t depend on future humans correctly interpreting a message. It depends on engineered containment that works whether anyone is around to read a warning or not.
The whole “10,000 years” narrative is exaggerated here….Yes, some nuclear waste stays radioactive for a very long time but it doesn’t stay equally dangerous that whole time. The highest risk is in the first few hundred years and after that the radioactivity drops off pretty significantly. So acting like it’s this constant extreme danger for “10,000 years” just isn’t accurate.
Also, the idea that we need to somehow warn people thousands of years in the future kind of misses the point. The safety of nuclear waste isn’t based on future humans understanding a message. The whole point is that even if nobody can read a warning or even knows it’s there, it’s still physically out of reach.
So this argument OP is trying to make isn’t fair, they’re assuming we’re relying on communication to keep people safe, when really the system is designed so we don’t have to. ☢️💗
David AttenBruh@AlHendiify
Now show us 10,000 years worth of safely stored waste and how you communicate to a society 500 years into the future that no longer speaks the same language that this is an incredibly dangerous material.
English
@RhodGuard @radioactivered Renewables are a fucking limp dick solution to energy. You’re literally relying on the weather, and if you have a bad month, you are fucked. You need to scale them over vast areas of land and fuck up the environment in the process. Nuclear has none of these issues.
English
@radioactivered People who want to defend nuclear power always need to compare it to fossil fuel, because they know the real future is renewables. They are mostly clean, especially wind, cheap and more space-effective (especially solar). 1/2
English
Uhhhhh, not exactly….using your own example here, if each batch of nuclear waste is only dangerous for 100 years, older waste would still eventually become safe.Continuous production means there will always be some active waste that still needs containment, so management would be ongoing. However, if you were to compare that to other energy sources, nuclear waste is still easier to manage because it’s produced in small volumes, highly concentrated and securely stored UNLIKE fossil fuel waste, which is massive, dispersed and largely uncontrolled.
Also, the cost of building nuclear plants is separate and doesn’t affect how long the waste stays hazardous, I didn’t “forget” anything regarding that, it was not the topic. 😊☢️
RhodosGuard (not affiliated in any way with Musk)@RhodGuard
@radioactivered Your argument false apart the moment you think about us continously using nuclear power for the future. I dunno if you're even correct, let's assume you are, if the nuclear waste we produce today is only dangerous for 100 years, then what about the waste we produce tomorrow? 1/2

I'm the CEO of military surplus company.
I've worked in military surplus for 10 years. And *I* wasn't prepared for what I've just seen. Your life is about to change.
So what can you do?
Buy as much military surplus as you can.
Buy stock in military surplus companies.

Dear citizens of NYC:
DO NOT DO THIS

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
If you own a home with a basement, attic, or backyard, chances are you’ve thought about using it to earn a little extra income or as space for a loved one. We want to make it as easy (and affordable) as possible for you to do that. NYC recently legalized ADUs — but for too many New Yorkers, they’re still tied up in bureaucracy and expense. We're fixing that. Our new toolkit at nyc.gov/aduforyou includes preapproved building plans and a financing calculator so you can get right to building. If we want New York to remain a city for everyone, we have to make it easier for homeowners to stay here. ADU for You will do just that.

Couple comes in for their annual review.
$2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track.
I ask the question I ask everyone.
"How is your daughter doing?"
Mom's face changed first.
Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained.
But she's been in the same apartment for six years.
Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible.
Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually."
I pulled up a simple chart.
Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60.
At 60 her own retirement is eight years away.
The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close.
Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way.
The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child.
They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications.
Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter.
Dad looked at his wife.
"Why are we waiting?"
Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

quick someone call a social worker we need to study this man's childhood and have compassion for this aspiring surgeon. The hammer he is waving around is symbolic of his subconscious Protestant work ethic, you can see he's really a nice man.

1. Subsaharan Africans create the AIDS epidemic by butchering and eating monkeys, allowing the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus to jump to humans.
2. Subsaharan Africans spread the virus widely due to the barbaric practice of “dry sex” where they shove rocks and dust in women’s vaginas to make them feel tighter (this sounds like a racist fever dream, but it’s very real - look it up).
3. American taxpayers fund research to understand HIV.
4. American capital markets and pharmaceutical companies develop medications that effectively cure AIDS.
5. American taxpayers pay to send these miracle drugs for free to the fourth world countries that gave us this virus in the first place.
6. American government asks that in exchange for decades of charity, these countries allow access to their minerals so that we can do something with them.
7. They say no.
8. “America is the bad guy.”

Be 2036, Shruti Sharma Patel is President. Gas is $49.19 a gallon unless you’re friends with the owner. Your refrigerator requires a monthly subscription stay running. Your H1B electrician comes over to replace a light in the bathroom and you have to spend another half an hour removing the wireless video camera that was trying to spy on your daughter. You report him to the police and you’re arrested for racism.
