  • Well the Orange Idiot made stupid choices and now America is suffering stupid consequences. Maybe you alleged Christians have heard the expression “reap what you sow.” This is that. You can either suck it up and deal with it, like the rest of us have no choice but to do, or you can correct the stupid decision. We all know that the Jackass in Chief won’t reverse course unless he can think of a way to make it look good for himself, so all you’re really doing is bitching about a problem of your own creation and looking stupid doing it.


  • Except for the fact that you can use the Uranium 233 as fuel itself, and you can’t make weaponizable plutonium out of it. Sure you’ve still got the waste problem, but the thorium reactor produces less waste than an equivalent uranium reactor.

    The whole reason it was never developed was because uranium had been developed for the use of nuclear weapons to begin with, so they already had all that work done and then they segued that into power production. They would have to do a lot of research and development, which costs money that nobody wanted to spend, for a program with no military purpose and therefore the government cared a lot less about it. Because we live in fucking Post World War 2 America, and if the military budget can’t be tapped for it then the government can’t be bothered.

    That said, the petroleum industry is probably more responsible. They sure fought tooth and claw against the development of renewables for decades on end. Gawd forbid the rich assholes at the top have one fewer million dollars they’ll never be able to spend in their bank accounts.

    As usual, greed and power are making things worse for everybody. But hey you go ahead and believe it’s because the radioactive waste is the problem.














  • I’ve been enjoying Pocket Rogues lately. The full version. I’m not a huge fan of roguelights and I hate roguelikes, but since I currently can’t afford a replacement for my old busted laptop because I’m disabled and poor in America, it’s really not easy to get games that are worth a damn. I do have one of those controller adapters for my phone so that it’s actually playable. I tried to using it for Minecraft but Minecraft was never meant to be played on a console and shoehorning it onto one was a bad idea from day one.
