Genocide Joe Rule
  • I think that's the point behind voting uncommitted in the primary. It's to put some heat on the candidate that actually has the potential to change their mind and do something. I can't speak for anyone else, but it's not as if I'm going to be voting for trump in the actual election and I understand how a 2 party fptp election works enough to put my vote in the "capable of having potential to stop supporting genocide" category.

  • What common grocery item(s) is it absolutely fine to buy the cheap/unbranded version of?
  • The store by me has their own brand of pop-tart that's got more icing and filling as well as being half the cost. They don't have as many flavors, but they're not shrinkflated to the point of being a sad cookie. Shout out to Meijer toaster pastries.

  • Revealed: Sellafield nuclear site [UK] has leak that could pose risk to public
  • From my understanding, it's considered clean by comparison to fossil fuels in that it's easier to contain the byproducts that nuclear produces since they are primarily solid and liquid waste compared to the additional gaseous waste that fossil fuels make. The problem is in the potency of the pollution, the length of time that it needs to be stored, and while I said that it was fairly easy to store, that doesn't stop storage facilities from doing what the lowest bidder tends to do which is perform below the minimum expectation. The quantity of the waste is typically lower by tonnage compared to fossil fuels and a good chunk of nuclear waste is in the form of contaminated safety equipment that has reached the end of it's expected life cycle.

    Something has to go horribly wrong for dangerous nuclear contamination to happen, but that's not to say that things can and have gone horribly wrong.

  • Did anyone else notice that the dashboard news feed was showing a lot of CNN severe storm news yesterday?

    I was scrolling through the dashboard news feed and it seemed like every other news story was an outdated article on a hurricane or tropical storm. Example: there was one about the impending landfall of hurricane Dorian from a few years ago but it was presented as just about to happen. It was really strange. I panicked a little and checked the NOAA site but there was nothing at the time.
