The ones that the Republicans fought for? Though, they were called "free speech zones" before being used at universities.
You mean the ones liberals fought for? They were the ones that wanted speech on university campuses to be segregated into particular areas because things like anti-abortion protests hurt their feelings.
If Bruce nuclear goes south and right bad, everything from Buffalo through to Boston and as far south as Philly is probably toast, or has moderate radiation problems. That's via wind patterns and all that, not even counting on water contamination into the great lakes. Really though, the best solution at the end of the day is retrofitting or fully replacing existing reactor designs with safer designs. But anti-nuke people like to throw a hissyfit over even that, and in turn we're left with Gen 1 and Gen 2 reactors still working away.
Define "close" after all here in Ontario we have Bruce Nuclear which is the 2nd largest generating plant in the world and is downwind from Toronto by ~150 miles. And Pickering Nuclear which is under 50mi away. Seems to me that the US has more of a anti-nuke fear mongering group of environmentalists then Canada does. I live downwind from Bruce nuclear as well, around 45mi give or take a little bit. I sure don't worry about it, I have a bigger worry that there will be a train derailment and massive problems then that. Especially since the main Ontario CN track runs around 300m away from my house and trains come running by every hour of the day. Luckily there has never been an accident in either case, and CN has become extremely vigilant in checking the lines over the last 5 years usually quarterly inspections.
I didn't know that making $23-33/hr not counting benefits was a low unattractive wage in the automotive sector, since that's what you generally make. When I worked fora National Parts Distribution Center(NPDC) for one of the big 3, my hourly rate was $24.83/hr just to collect parts, sort parts, and place them in bins for a 9hr day. My friends who work for Toyota and have been there for 10+ years at this point? They're making $30.10/hr. Unions are what ensured that wages didn't fall through the floor in the age of robotics.
The problem today is we're at the edge of the "race to the bottom" where even the lowest paid workers in the shitholes around the world are being replaced by robotics. When no one has the money to buy your stuff, you're going to have to come up with a new system for wealth generation for everyone else.
EULA's aren't binding in a lot of places. In some countries, they're not even considered a form of contract or agreement because the EULA attempts to waive rights which can not be waived, which makes the entire thing void.
I can't believe that some people think he and other youtubers are better "reviewers" than the classic print reviewers are.
Considering ~2 years ago, those classic print reviewers launched their "gamers are dead" articles, and many of them have also launched into the "but muh gender identity/omg you're all sexist/eww games are icky" BS, it's easy for a youtuber to be a better reviewer then classic print.
Each idiot that exists on the internet also exists in the real world. There are also limitless idiots in the real world to argue with,
Sure, but let's stick to the matter at hand.
Were we? Because that's not what you wrote.
Sure were, that's the premise of this entire comment thread in the first place, you miss that?
You've snipped out all the context.
Only to save space, unless of course you're saying that other people who come along and read this are too stupid and will pass your comment for mine.
Except those are to a very large extent hypotheticals. And "it happened once in the entire world ever" does not equate to some sort of systematic campaign.
It's not hypothetical when the cases of something happening happen at nearly any event whether public or semi-public, or even private. And you can pick any western country and find dozens of cases of it in just the last year.
Except no it doesn't.
Except it really does. Whether it's the latest tigglypuff freaking out over people speaking, or BLM shouting people down for not having the right view point, or some student organization forcing through a no-platform policy against feminist speakers, anti-jewish groups causing disruptions when someone is speaking, or radfems pulling fire alarms when people are discussing the legal problems that men have. It really does happen, and a lot. Then again, if you don't pay attention to the news, only get it from particular places, or have your own ideological hugbox you likely wouldn't hear about any of those. Oh and those groups or people that I mentioned? They're all left wing.
There's a difference between "fear" and "can't be arsed with that shite again". There are limitless idiots on the internet and arguing with all of them is fruitless and an infinite time sink.
That's great, but we're not talking about the internet. Right now we're talking about meat space, and how there seems to be fundamentally broken people out there who don't like having their ideas challenged at all. So much against it, that they'll violate the rights of other people because they're so threatened.
Depends on the idea and depends on the challenge.
I'll just snip the rest of that out, but let's say you and I are debating a point like illegal immigration. Now we're having this debate in a semi-public forum and it's going along fine, one of us is for it, the other is against it. Now toss in someone that believes that any discussion of it at all is racism, and their idea of stopping us from talking is screaming, throwing a temper tantrum and then having one of their buddies pull the fire alarm or call in a bomb threat.
Now you can see the problems going on. That happens a lot, and more often then you'd think. And those people who are screaming that "xyz thing" is racist/sexist/misogynist/etc? You can lay a safe bet that they're self-labeled progressives with various branching beliefs in other leftist causes.
Oh that's the easy part. It's the one that's throwing the temper tantrum because someone is saying something they don't like. If you're not an intellectual coward, then you really have no fear of someone saying something that you won't like. And you've already figured out that you grow as a person by having your ideas challenged.
Whut? From what is apparent, anti-speech and anti-responsibility group is squarely in the Republican camp. And then there are weaklings projecting their fears on Democrats.
You been paying attention to those bastions of liberal democracy called universities over the last 8 years? You know those places with "free speech walls" and all those ardent progressives that like to freak out and pull fire alarms on people during speeches. Using the "no bad tactics only targets" line of reasoning. You notice all those politicians in the democrat camp supporting those ideas, and wanting to implement them in the US at large. In the last year the "safe space" stuff has been very popular with democrat politicians too, and has been used as a tool to stifle dissenting points of view because it could "hurt feelings."
The political left in the US has a serious problem and it's fractured into two groups: Batshit crazy, and not crazy. And right now the crazy are winning because the main parts of the party(or their supporters) believe it's not a problem. But when those moderates look at it, they go NOPE. When those left-leaning people look at it and they go NOPE. Welcome to what the Republicans went through ~25 years ago.
Canada does something similar. My sister is a prison guard at a medium/max security prison. It's paid on an hourly basis, usually half the rate of minimum wage. Whether that be taking classes or doing work. Commissary credit is used in turn to pay for luxury items like internet access(if they're allowed), or renting TV's, or other items like pop, chips, cigs and so on.
The basic idea behind it, is to break them of the habit of criminal life and make them work for something instead. The whole point is to get the prisoners out of their cells and do something other then brood and it works fairly well at resocializing inmates away from criminal behavior to normal life. Here in Canada it's reduced recidivism by around 20% which isn't a drop in the bucket.
(The Democrats have their own extremists that need to be purged, but I don't think it's gotten to "party splitting" level quite yet.)
It has. The problem is within the democrat party, they're willing to pander to the crazies like it's 1987, notice how shrill the anti-sexual revolution, anti-speech, anti-personal responsibility, pro-protect us from stuff segment is getting these days. The crazies within and outside the party for the democrats have basically taken a page out of the religious right of the 70's and 80's. And average people, have already had enough of it. I have more friends that are democrats(mainly self-declared liberals), who are voting for trump then will vote for hillary or sanders.
I was not aware you could keep people from dying by outlawing funerals.
Maybe it's to stop people from finding out who's died, so they can't dig them up and eat them. Seem to remember that N.Korea has a rather interesting cannibalism problem due to the lack of food in general.
For me I tend to hang out at Ars. They have real journalists there who actually research (**gasp**) and write stories. In general I see things at Ars before they end up here (although I have seen the opposite as well). The only problem with Ars is that the commenting system sucks as it is a pure linear format.
ARS doing research? You're joking right? Half the stuff in their own stories contradicts actual sources at times. And when you point out the factual inaccuracies with proof commenters come out of the woodwork to claim you're just a troll that's attacking them because reasons. It's pushing it's own social agenda half the time just like/. is, but that shouldn't be a surprise considering who owns them.
The reason why here in the west(North America, most of Central America, most of Asia and most of Europe), we add iodine to salt is because goiter was such a wide spread problem at one point, that adding it fixed the problem. A lot of those countries you've visited, you'll find moderate to serious thyroid problems throughout the population.
Most people get enough iodine from table salt, since here in the west we've been adding it to that since the 1920's when they figured out it was a fast, easy and cheap way of fixing the problem. It's only the people who don't use salt at all that are really at risk. My mother had iodine deficiency as a kid(grew up in east germany), nothing like decades of problems with it and it's such a simple problem to fix.
That's because in most countries, you have to actually investigate and do a financial audit before you start punishing people. I know, difficult to understand and all that. A few weeks back when all of this came to light the Canada Revenue Agency(IRS for Americans), directed their investigators to get a hold of and start investigating the papers for those who failed to pay their taxes or were hiding assets.

But feelz can melt steel beams! And there's so many kinds out there these days.
Really? Well I suppose that's true, especially considering the number of solar companies that continue to fold up shop and quit these days.
But sorry, paying them $0.80kWh(for solar) isn't fair to everyone else, neither is paying them $0.50kWh for wind. Especially when it drives the price of electricity for everyone else up to $0.17kWh during peak hours. And those "green energy" pay-ins have driven up the price of electricity over 500% in the last 10 years.

Generally it's in the form of rotting biomass from when the area is flooded, and it goes on for decades.

No I'm not confusing the two. FYI the people who would have been defending someone like trigglypuff a year ago, are staunchly against them these days.
