  6. ​ @RubALamp Wrong. Socialism has nothing to do with "workers." That's Marxist socialism only. "Workers" is just another word for "state." Socialism is state ownership of the means of production, aka evil tyranny and no human rights

  17.  @-hobbit-9481  Pluto was discovered in 1930s. So whatever objects Sumerians decided to draw is irrelevant. They probabaly got confused by a star or something. Not exactly accurate science they had back then. Also pluto isn't a planet. It's an oversized asteroid, part of the kuiper belt. There are many like it, and if we were to count every single dwarf planet as an official planet the list would go on and on.
    7
  18.  @-hobbit-9481  Your books don't matter and nobody cares what you think. Pluto is not a planet. If it were then every other oversized asteroid like it would also be considered a planet. End of story.

  32.  @joaobispo2602  well, not every country needs nuclear. As long as all the western countries have nuclear it should be fine. Less CO2 overall and we save a lot of money in energy bills. Renewables and oil can work for countries with less confidence in themselves to manage a nuclear plant I guess.
    3
  33.  @alsteiner7602  Using that logic, we shouldn't allow any other power plants to exist because of "mans lowsy ability to do risk assessment." Especially since every other type of power plant is more dangerous than nuclear.

  39.  @-hobbit-9481  So make your choice. Either, you count pluto as a planet, but then you have to count every other slightly large asteroid as a planet too. Or you don't, and keep things simple.

  42.  @joaobispo2602  nuclear produces less harmful emissions over a lifetime than solar. Solar is unreliable, and nowhere near as efficient. Nuclear energy will be constant, reliable, extremely safe (especially with thorium) and very efficient. And also it doesn't fry birds.

  58.  @frenchvanilla343  So? He agreed to get paid a certain amount for his job, and he got paid that amount. The company owes him nothing extra for doing his job. Giving him a reward is completely up to them. That's not how it works. The company takes a gamble, if it fails, they take the hit, if it succeeds, they reap the benefits. If you think its fair for the company to pay extra for success, then you should maintain that logic and agree that its fair for the company to deduct from a salary if something fails. The entire point of a CONTRACT is that you AGREE to work for a certain set amount, regardless of what the company loses or gains.

  83.  @joaobispo2602  for example, Germany runs on mostly renewables, and the electricity costs are the highest in europe. France is almost all nuclear, with very low electricity costs.

  84.  @joaobispo2602  nuclear powerplant have nothing to do with nuclear bombs. If you have the materials for a powerplant, they can make a bomb anyway. Who cares about the poorer countries? They can stick to renewables. 1st world countries can use nuclear however.

  85.  @joaobispo2602  your only issue is with poorer countries having nuclear power. Well, they can use renewables then. They dont really need power as much as we do.

  86.  @joaobispo2602  what country if you dont mind me asking? If it's a high risk country, just dont give them nuclear, or give them thorium (still some plutonium involved there but very little.) As long as its inspected by an outside source it should be fine.

  104.  @jayd7439  All that means is that it's an incomplete model that can't explain everything. The things it does explain, it explains perfectly well. Just like newtonian gravity explained many phenomena perfectly. But when it came to things like the orbit of Mercury, it couldn't account for that. Same goes for GR. It can't explain the rotation speeds of galaxies, or the singularity of a black hole.

  111. This is exactly why we need to remove all fossil fuel plants and replace them with nuclear. No need for fossil fuel plants anymore. The transport sector produces about half the CO2 that these power plants produce. We need to go fully nuclear.
    1
  112.  @Marco-it2mr  true nuclear has downsides. It is expensive and it requires infrastructure and proper funding and safety checks. And no, its physically impossible for a nuclear power plant to go up in a mushroom cloud. Can never happen. Worst case scenario is a meltdown. But nuclear plants are the safest form of any production there is. They are safer than wind turbines for fucks sake. Nuclear is the only clean energy source as of today that can meet changing power demands and provide a constant source of power 24/7 year round. They are also very efficient and their efficiency can increase once thorium plants are up and running.
    1
  113.  @Marco-it2mr  Yeah, and theres no reason not to build thorium reactors. Most of the issue stems from green party and a lack of education on nuclear power. Thorium is very readily available, is is more efficient and safe than uranium, and produces even less nuclear waste. Why we haven't switched yet can only be explained by an uninformed population.
    1
  114.  @vingvingduy1779  because solar cannot meet new demands and isn't a constant reliable source of energy, aka the sun has to shine in order for it to produce power. Even when the sun shines, it's not efficient enough and doesn't produce enough energy. Solar is a great source of supplementary energy don't get me wrong, as long as it's not made with toxic chemicals. But nuclear can meet all sorts of power demands 24/7/ 365 days a year theoretically.

In a socialist society nobody wins. Everybody loses. In capitalism naturally somebody loses the game. Socialism is punishing the successful for being better. Like punishing an athlete for winning a race. I can tell you're a failure in life or a kid because you're unironically anti capitalism, aka the best economic model in existence.

  138.  @RubALamp  You have no idea what the definitions are. So funny how confidently ignorant you are. Socialism has nothing to do with "workers." The term "workers" is just another collective aka a type of state. Socialism and totalitarianism are exactly the same thing. There is no difference between these two terms. "Climate change" has nothing to do with capitalism. Capitalism is the only economic model that works and you cannot provide a counter argument to this fact. Socialist economies fail due to basic economic facts. The US is not a capitalist country. It may of been primarily capitalist at some point in the 1800s, but quickly became increasingly socialist as the tyrant state naturally grows more and more. All socialists are either dimwits, or evil. Pick one.

  156. I think what it means is, that you are constantly moving forwards. You're moving forwards through the dimension of time, and in the presence of a massive object, that movement through time is translated into movement through space. That's why you fall towards massive objects even when it seems like you're completely stationary, it's because you're not actually stationary, you're moving forwards in time and progressing into the future, your future being curved into the massive object, essentially. And in order to resist this movement, you must accelerate through space more, and thus accelerate through time less.
