I’m sure if I asked the parents of the kids if they could ask them to wait til after 9am to play on the go kart they probably would, I have a lower expectation of “polite” behaviour from kids and I don’t want to take their fun away from them, you’re only young once and I don’t really begrudge them it.

For vehicle exhaust, we’re basically already solving the problem by moving away from ICE vehicles, so I don’t see the reason in arguing about it.

I don’t think it’s reason enough to abstain completely, just something I should do at home when i’m chilling and not gotta interact with poor unprepared people who don’t know me hehe.

The two friends I have with ADHD behave in a really similar way. All three of us just have a conversation with ourselves featuring little bits and pieces from the other people’s conversations… meanwhile my neurotypical friends are just chilling quietly.

Could also depend on sativa/indica of course!

Living in a tolerant society means that we need to be willing to deal with these little inconveniences in our lives. One of my neighbours has kids who love to play on a go-kart and wake me up at 6am on a Saturday morning, sometimes I can smell people barbecuing even though I’m vegan, and so on.

As long as it’s not a direct risk to health (e.g. smoking indoors) and not extremely obnoxious (playing extremely loud music and refusing to turn it down) people should be able to do what they want to.

I’ve smoked weed for a long time, not hugely regularly but maybe once a week or something. When I’m high, my masking (ADHD/autism) goes completely out the window, so I talk all sorts of nonsense. Would not be able to pass as sober lol.

Thank you! Please feel free to copy and share. There is so much pro-nuclear rhetoric online, particularly on Reddit, I debate it every time I see it but there’s too much for me to do alone.

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for looking into this further and being brave to admit when you’re wrong. That’s a really admirable quality which is way too uncommon these days!

For the safety aspect, I don’t think deaths is the most helpful comparison - considering for nuclear that many, many thousands of people will have to deal with health problems caused by radiation exposure over decades. Lots of people argue that the Chernobyl death toll should include people who die from the effects of that radiation, which would push the numbers from ~300 dead to tens of thousands.

Even according to your source (which is really biased, by the way), renewables are just as safe as nuclear.

Why should be waste money on expensive, dirty nuclear power when we can get double the return on investment with much cleaner renewables?

There is no sensible reason to mine limited uranium unless you want us to continue to be dependent on exploitative, extractive industries?

Isn’t it known to have originated from some farm in the United States?

What possible reason could you have to oppose transparency and openness when it comes to pandemic research? The more we can learn the more deaths can be avoided. How is that a bad thing?

That’s a bit of an understatement. It’s basically an authoritarian regime at this point.
