A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Even if you are too allergic to nuance to understand the real solution

And thus you have shown that your mind is made up and no amount of evidence will sway your decisions. Good day.

I'm plenty open to evidence, it's just every time I look at some it shows a new lie that nukebros tell. Every single talking point isnutter bullshit to the pooint where if you look it up you find that nukes are significantly worse by whatever hair-splitting metric is being used ti try and distract from their main downsides.

There is a fully renewable solution for the 2-5 >100 hour events a year where battery storage is unsuitable, but it requires holding more than one thought in your head at a time (thermal storage, dispatchable load and w2e is one combo).

That's not very open minded. I'm all for vetting your sources and skepticism, but going in with your mind made up is close minded.

Look my dude, you're clearly here to fight not discuss, and that's fine we absolutely need to fight against the establishment, activisim is important. Fighting against your allies is a pro gamer move though.

That last bit is the rub though. I'm fighting to decarbonize and reduce exploitation kf resource rich countries and you're fighting to stop it.

The constant tirade of insane lies is tolerable. Pretending you're not on the side of fossil fuels is the incredibly insulting bit.

No, the insulting bit is youd constant tirade of insane lies, buttercup.
