what, you don't take big bites out of live sunfish regularly? what are you, a vegan?

massive correlation with being trans, and being super adhd/asd/french/some other mental disorder (having one disorder means you have a strong possibility of having others, they're all extremely tied into each other, including gender dysphoria) which are things that cause you to be significantly more likely to spend a majority of your time on the internet and on obscure/nerdy/highly derived forums for various complicated and straightforward reasons.

being a social outcast also may push people towards corners of the internet, and trans people are often social outcasts even if they don't have some other disability causing them to be (especially those from more rural/more conservative or religious areas)

reddit has been pretty much the only reliable option that isn't stackoverflow, in my experience

i don't wanna be the one to tell the slaves "hey guys i know forced labour sucks and all but we gotta have more ammo for this random war half-way across the globe so you'll just have to push through it"

same for things like EVs. i like things that use batteries a lot, but i'd really have a stronger guarantee that the materials to make it aren't sourced by slave labour or methods that harm the local ecosystem... i mean a large part of that problem is also that the US has fuck all for recycling laws, i don't think most lithium is actually recycled anyways. but that's a different topic

The US gets 1/5 of its power from nuclear energy, and produces 2,000 metric tons of nuclear waste per year – only enough to fill about half of the volume of an olympic-sized swimming pool (and about the same weight as 10 wind turbines).

Only 3% of all of that waste is actually long-lived and highly radioactive, potentially requiring isolation from the environment. In France, this number goes down to 0.2% due to fuel being reprocessed.

Taking that into consideration, that means it would take about 2/3 of a century for the US to produce enough dangerous nuclear waste to fill this pool completely. And it can still be way more efficient.

Nuclear produces negligible amounts of actual waste for the amount of energy it gives us. The problems with nuclear aren't at all the waste, rather it's the current highly used methods that are used to harvest the fuel (slave labour and unsafe, dirty, destructive drilling). Very similar problems faced with, say, lithium and cobalt.

sorry but a ham sandwich and an apple aren't even close to enough to be an apt meal for a child, for many kids school lunch is the most nutrition they get in a day and ripping that away from them is evil. the advice in your comment is terrible.

sliced meats sold in the US generally have EXTRAORDINARILY little nutrition, and are pretty expensive, while at the same time having a fuck ton of salt stuffed into them both for flavour and as preservatives. all you're doing with a ham sandwich is wasting money to give your kids malnutrition and high blood pressure. sliced cheeses are less bad but they're mostly salt and saturated fats still – and are still very little nutrition compared to the cost.

the most nutritious thing is the bread, but the most commonly bought bread slices are mostly just grains other than fiber, which while not necessarily a problem is still NOT something that can compensate for the lack of nutrition in the meal.

fruits are great and all but they're only one part of our diets, it can be really difficult both money and time wise to do everything else. schools shouldn't be ADDING on to that difficulty, they should be helping families with it instead.

but instead of that, our country is filled with people like you who choose to deflect from the issue of a dysfunctional social welfare system by pretending it'd be manageable if only it weren't for those bad parents. i agree that most parents don't deserve their kids, but it's not always in their control, and regardless of that, whether or not a kid won the birth lottery is completely irrelevant to it – we should guarantee that ALL kids can, without shame and without punishment, get the food that they need to develop properly.

so your solution is for the government to notify people of those vulnerabilities so others can immediately take abuse of them? because people know that the government makes backdoors on a lot of tech, it's no secret to people, your "solution" wouldn't exactly achieve anything. the current government doesn't care about collateral so it's not like they'd just stop doing it.

as a rustacian i cannot thank you enough for notifying me of this

In French, words spelled with just "u" use a different sound than those spelled with "ou". "ou" (in la Métropole) is similar to the sound in English "do"/"too"/"sue"/"shoe" etc. while "u" is similar to Standard German long "ü"/"üh" like in "Lüge" but the German one is relatively reduced and isn't quite as frontal/strained/constricted.
