Love these weird little guys.

Nuclear waste leaking into the groundwater? Sure, if someone is being absurdly callous. But if we're going to invent a villain with no morals as just dumps the stuff then we might as well do the same for any other form of energy.

I prefer to assume we're comparing competent operators of any energy type in our portfolio. Saying it leaches into the groundwater is like saying "dams break and destroy towns". Yeah, it does happen I guess, but not often. And we've got lots of systems to prevent it.

If, and only if, you store it stupidly. There's plenty of ways to safely store it for millennia. It's not a truly difficult problem.

And I'm just doing my best to present the facts as they are -- no fud.

It's also minuscule. A US person would generate roughly a chicken egg worth of waste across their entire lifetime.

How much nuclear waste would be generated, across 100 years of American levels of energy use, per person?

I'll save you the effort, it's about one chicken egg, maybe as large as a tea cup.

For your whole life, all the energy you'll use across all sectors. Over 100 years you don't think we capable of finding a space to safely fritter away a chicken egg? Or even 300 million chicken eggs?

And even more amazingly, that "waste"? It's still fuel, we could reprocess it.

Coal, you'd need 50-60,000 kilograms to create the same energy. The waste disposal for 60k kg of coal's ash is non trivial (and much harder to prevent from spreading). To say nothing of the 150-180,000 kg of CO2 emitted.

Solar panels would need to be replaced 2-5 times in that timeframe. They are a whole lot less wasteful than coal, but that'd still be a significant volume of difficult to reprocess material.

So, before wringing your hands about waste from nuclear, make sure you understand just how small the amount of waste is and think about the waste of alternatives. There's not a free lunch here, but waste just isn't a material concern compared against other power sources.

He's complied with Indian and Turkish authorities, choosing to censor. I'm sure he'd comply if asked by the trump admin and fight if asked by the Harris admin.

Trans people having sex is not an act of depravity, lol.

Trans people are people, and deserve sex just as much as anyone else.

Cuck porn is extremely not my thing, but strikes me as a pretty tame fetish if all parties consent. Playing with power dynamics can be a lot of fun and very strengthening for a relationship. (Good BDSM practitioners are often very consent focused and amazing listeners.)

The incest stuff is gross though. I'll shake hands with you on that.

My gut feeling is that people joining the army is a whole lot more destructive than people doing sex work. Especially on only fans or whatever.

Your words, I didn't say those things.

It can only be used against you if people think it can be used against you.

Like, imagine a world where we said, " you flipped burgers in college? Eww gross, you've robbed your life!"

It sounds absurd because we've collectively decided one of those jobs is good and one is bad. We can collectively decide they are both fine, actually.

Also, if you're that model includes "random drug addict who is aware of my wife's porn career notices my wife, then chooses to act on it" I think your threat model may need revising. Yes, I'm sure that happens hundreds of times a year in the US. Driving a car to school seems statistically MUCH more dangerous.

Pot; kettle, etc.

If we connected, why not? I guess I'd make sure we both had clean sti panels before engaging in sex, but I'd do that with any partner.

"They used their dick or vagina to make money" is not any different to me than "they used their brain or hands to make money".

That's fine for you (though I'd challenge you to ask yourself why), but younger generations and many in older generations like myself are realizing that sex work is just work. Bodies are just bodies. Relationships and past sexual history are in the past.

It's another flavor of bodily autonomy.

This framing, "sell their dignity", is your moral judgement (coming from your cultural, religious, or some other) background.

I don't see it as any less dignified than any other work. You sell your labor to someone who pays you less than the value it produces.

Now, if you want to argue that median creators get payed only a tiny fraction of their time, and like Twitch/YouTube it's a losing game for most, then we're on the same page.

I was intending to address both.

I believe it's absolutely possible to consume too much porn, but it's by and large fine.
