If you listen to the people on Lemmy, everything is incompatible with capitalism. So do we cower in the corner and hope the problems away?

The amount of death and destruction attributable to all nuclear accidents since we figured out fission is barely statistically significant when compared to fossil fuel consumption.

Regulatory agencies can and do keep accidents from happening. Not always, because people are both stupid and corrupt. But mostly.

Capitalism isn't going away any time soon. Maybe in a post fusion world, we'll cross the threshold of post-scarcity too. Until that happens, we do the best we can with the tools at our disposal.

You could make the same argument about literally anything. Capitalism caused the 737Max disasters. You want to give up planes?

Grow up

Right, and for some reason replacing "screen" with "paper" makes it somehow not a problem?

Trump can declare whatever he wants. No one is going to listen to him.

They were able to engineer and build a hopping propulsion system, but none of them realized the cheese would cause flight instability?

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Trans kids taking puberty blockers is less life altering than starting high school.

Stop pretending you understand this issue and learn to mind your own business

No one is buying the bullshit you have for sale.

Billions got damaged, huh? That sounds serious.

The fuck is a "butter burger"?

You have one side: teenager

There was never any science saying "cigarettes are healthy".

Science doesn't change just because some groups try to use it to forward an agenda.

Nice strawman you got there. Get it on sale?

You really think that in 2024 - a time when not even school children are expected to print out reports because everything is submitted digitally - the fact that photo printer paper not being ubiquitous reflects literally anything other than we've mostly moved past paper as a society?

I'm not saying reddit is better - it clearly is not - but ask yourselves why Lemmy is so absolutely shit at applying Occam's Razor to their own biases?

That's the naivete of the Internet talking. Of course landlords create value; they do so in exactly the same way lenders create value: they absorb risk by amortizing upfront costs and charge a premium to do so.

If you didn't agree that it's an ethical way to participate in the economy, say that. Don't try to pass off a moral judgment as an objective truth.

"ruins the Internet"? This coming from 4chan? That's rich

Aspic would like a word.

Grow the fuck up.

That justification is pathetically weak.

There are plenty of Trump supporters here. Every comment from someone who implies one shouldn't vote for Harris because of the Israel-Gaza war is likely someone trying to suppress Democrat turnout. Single issue voting is the only way the GOP ever win.
