Darmok and Jalad, on the ocean.

It is a point for them to coexist. It’s called plausible deniability.

What exactly are you trying to argue? That it’s not a good reason for a country to get a bunch of uranium without raising questions?

There was absolutely no incentive to research more about alternative fuels, uranium and plutonium were materials the nuclear powers wanted. For more than just 1 reason…

If countries REALLY wanted nuclear power without Uranium. They would have researched it. Like China have. But no one else has. Well some have, but they all gave up a long time ago.

Sweden was researching it, but decided to go with Uranium, coincidentally, they just happened to also research nuclear weapons… very strange coincidence that… (Sweden was later encouraged to halt all nuclear weapons research)

Yes. They compete for the same raw material. That’s the whole point. Gives you a perfectly good reason to excavate it.

It gives you a reason to access the materials you need for nuclear weapons.

Who is saying they’re using the fuel for reactors to make the weapons? Just you.

And not that I count it. But they do infact make weapons from spent uranium. They make artillery shells from it. Buy like I said. I don’t even count that.

US experiments were broken off because it gives no excuse to attain materials for nuclear weapons. Same excuse everyone else use.

The ones with the thin metal band that your hair always get caught in?

I remember the sound being worth the pain. Good looking too.

You see it as dismissive. Low effort reply, like they couldn’t be bothered. It’s not inviting continued conversation so you see it as someone telling you to stop talking to them.

If I were to guess. In your eyes. They might as well have replied with “cool story bro”.

Which is now forever a sarcastic term and no one regardless of what you say, will believe that you actually found their story cool.

It’s not the thumbs up in itself that is seen as rude, but the short dismissive affirmative.

Someone that sees it as rude would feel like they put effort into their message and expect some kind of effort back in the reply,

the single emoji response can also make it seem like you didn’t even care to read it, and just say replied with something to make them shut up.

Shit happens, mistakes are sometimes made. Valve once had code that could delete your entire drive.

Probably got a little bit lucky but prices seems to have gone down, maybe people just refuse to buy them otherwise. I’m in the far north of EU. Really can’t get much further north than here.

Damn, I just bought 12 eggs for 2 Euro. (2.1 if we want to be exact)

He didn’t say scandies are radical. He said we’re left wing. Which is subjective to what you’re comparing to.

If you compare them to the US. Their right would be more left than the US left.

Dude, they’re not racists for disagreeing with your reasoning.

Racism, of various levels, are built upon hundreds of years of mistrust, inequality and misinformation.

It’s not as simple as just “cmon can’t we all just get along?”. And they are trying to explain this to you. And inform you that it’s a difficult and long path that has to be built slowly and carefully, and each place on earth will have to build it in a way that works for them, because all places experience racism differently.

Them trying to explain this to you doesn’t make them racists. None of them are saying discrimination is ok. Not a single one.

Never ever been in a place where people take food that isn’t theirs. I cannot even comprehend it. And if it happened more than once I’d keep my food in a backpack at my desk.

Is it yours? If no don’t touch. Simple as that.

Doesn’t have to be.

Tiananman square massacre is the name for the entire tragedy that took place. You trying to say how people didn’t die at the square itself does nothing.

And it doesn’t matter if they were protesting for more, or less communism. What happened is still an absolute tragedy and disaster and trying to downplay it is pathetic. It was fucked up, how do you expect to learn from the past if you deny it ever happened?

You if anyone need to see the documentation of the events. The tank man got famous because one. It was incredibly brave, it had a good ending with him not ending up in a puddle.

Moat other images and recordings are not very media friendly. Though if you want to see what happened. Here you go.

All you have is trying to insult me because you think I’m white. Pathetic. I’m not American. I’m not part of your little race war. Don’t include me in it.

If you never comment, and only vote, it’s not going to doxx you. Your account can be assumed to live in a certain city. That’s it. Please tell me how that is used to dox someone. “Shit they know I live in Frome, I’m done for!”

But now you bringing up posting local pictures. Which is so far from “just voting”. That’s not your voting doxxing you. That’s you posting local pictures doxxing you.

You really didn’t think your argument through did you?

How very American of you. Me disclosing my ethnicity to you would do a lot more on the way of doxxing than any voting pattern ever could. Don’t you think?

How exactly do you imagine “never commenting, but showing votes” might dox someone?

My home adress is not on display here. Imagine if pigs had wings. Imagine living on Mars upside down. And how long is a rope?

I don’t mind because I don’t care who knows what posts and comments I vote for. I’m more than happy to stand up for what I think and why I think so.

Worst case. I get banned from .ml communities for seeing through the blatant ccp propaganda. No loss there.

As you wish, and probably a good idea;

Voting on lemmy is not private because anyone who wants to find out. Can. Be it moderators, adminis, or users on federated sites that simply show it for everyone.
