Seen them in person? Nope.

My mother worked at a theater when ei was a child, and she would come home every so often complaining about someone causing a scene when they get caught.

No shade to anyone who does it or did it, but when you get caught and told to leave, just do it and come back later, and be more discreet.

The theater actually put signs up all over telling people all kinds of crimes (some of which sounded made up) they’re theoretically committing and how much prison time and fines they could face. It never stopped the lol

Economics is a human made concept, not a universal fact.

You would have been better off arguing it’s important because it’s math.

you’re the one who made the focus on profits, thus comparing profitability of fossil fuels is completely reasonable.

I’d love to see a full production chain breakdown of disasters and their costs to clean up, for both fossil fuel and nuclear.

Most people’s issue is “ooh scary radiation!” without realizing you get more exposure to ionizing radiation by living near a coal fired power plant than a nuclear one. Fuck, you can take a swim in the reactor pool and if you’re under the surface away from the nuclear material, the water above you blocks the background radiation you’d be exposed to walking around on the surface.

“it’s not exactly the same, so the waste and radiation it produced naturally is irrelevant to this cherry picked discussion”

There has never been a reactor that produced more energy than it took to construct? You sure about that?

Otherwise this is a capitalism meme, not a science meme.

It just feels like understanding to white cultural values

Am I reading this wrong, or are you saying science is inherently racist?

Toblerone has famously been shrinkflating their product for some time.

I remember seeing a comparison post many years ago of a modern one vs one that had been bought years ago and rediscovered in a closet or drawer or something. The older ones had thicker spikes.

I remember when that space was less… Spacious.

As someone currently gay AND stoned, I say science hasn’t gone too far enough!

And if you really trust a company that much then you deserve to lose your money AND data…

Even galaxies come thick with a bulge!

Great, now what am I supposed to do for the other 27 seconds?

Well you see, KNOWING ABOUT chess is superior to PLAYING chess, as chess is just a silly little toy.

It’s different because… Umm… the creator of this meme is pointlessly trying to divide people into anything but a class war wait uhhhh is rage bait reasons.

I love fucking up their data.

Haha, bitches I had no ovaries to begin with, and now you think I’m ovulating soon!

Mwahahaha :3

I didn’t know who zendaya was until Dune. I heard the name, never saw the face until dune. Apparently she was a super big name by then? Idk I’ve heard she’s in a lot of things but most of them I’ve never heard of or never cared to watch.

It really just depends on how they’re famous and what media people consume.

I’m absolutely positive there are dozens of artists of one type or another that I have never heard of that would make people do a double take and ask me what rock I’ve been living under.

Sometimes I feel like that Daniel Thrasher sketch where hoodie guy doesn’t know who Lil’ Pregnant is.

I recently left a job where my coworker was the absolute dumbest motherfucker I have ever met, but at least he was willing to listen to people with differing opinions. I think I managed to pull him a little left, at the very least he started out going “the people in charge generally know what is best for us even if they sometimes dip into things themselves” and ended with “fuck ice, they’re fascists acting exactly like the nazis did and the shitbags in charge are enabling them at every turn, the whole system needs reset” which is a pretty big leap, IMO.

One thing I couldn’t budge him on was the moon landing. It doesn’t matter that I have assisted in a laser range-finding experiment using the retro reflectors left on the moon, thus confirming to myself that we HAVE been there.

It didn’t matter how much I explained the Apollo missions, how much I explained why things behave in space the way they do, how much I explained why NASA essentially hd to rebuild a moon mission from the ground up, or any number of things. He still firmly believed it was all bullshit and we never went there.

I would always end the conversation about space stuff with “the biggest reason to me is that the USSR never came out and said ‘this is fake, here’s proof they faked the landing’ and basically gave up not long afterward, and they clearly had spies and intelligence capable of infiltrating NASA systems and obtaining classified information, just look at the Russian space shuttle. If they knew we faked it, they would have every reason in the world to embarss us by revealing our lies to the world” and he would always agree on that point. Still fake to him though
