Fukushima wastewater released into the ocean, China bans all Japanese seafood (www.reuters.com)

Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, a polarising move that prompted China to announce an immediate blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan....

lasagna,

China has entire towns that are toxic wastelands. This is just a political statement, probably their usual brainwashing of self.

lasagna,

Since when do we blame the responsible people when things go wrong?

lasagna,

Good luck getting to stay in most of those places. They’re happy to have tourists, not residents. Unless you have a lot of money to open a business. Proud little boys don’t strike me as wealthy.

lasagna,

I find that unlikely. AI is a subject much like space tech. It may not always be the giant it is now but it’s a baseline research countries will be conducting. Even if only as a means to defend themselves.

This sounds like a line from a David Tennant’s Doctor episode (probably the Master who said it) but I can’t be bothered checking.

lasagna,

And that’s not the worst I have seen. Things like raisins are basically flavoured sugar.

lasagna,

Any flavour preferences?

lasagna,

The sugar we know isn’t that different. It’s essentially a dried plant too but with stuff removed.

Sure adding sugar is another big issue. But fruits aren’t that great for us either. Certainly better to eat an apple than drink apple juice though.

lasagna,

There is a whole lot of things that aren’t fresh but are good for us and better than fruits. Interesting statement.

lasagna,

Whole grains, lentils, frozen vegetables, plenty of meats, fish, eggs. These come to mind. In the perfect world I would give fruits a blanket stamp of approval (I know right, the self-importance). But almost nobody I know don’t already have plenty of sugar in their diet, which means fruits just compound that. That’s not to mention that selective breeding has made our fruits unnecessarily sweet (try the most popular apple types after not having any sweets for a few weeks).

Of course though, there are lots of fruits and many of them are great as long as they’re not processed (e.g. smoothies).

I generally just go for vegetables. Getting into them can be tough but once you do they’re a game changer for your palate.

Pedanticism aside, fruits are miles better than almost any sweets. So if you do manage to replace cake time with fruit time, congrats. That’s a huge step.

lasagna,

Don’t tell the people fighting this about coal power plants and other things that actually fuck the environment and kill us.

lasagna,

A bad guy.

lasagna,

It’s a sum with n from 1 to infinity. The first value with n=1 is 3/4, with n=2 it’s 3/16. And if you keep adding those terms as n goes to infinity it approaches 1 but never gets there.

Then if you look back at the meme, you could zoom in for infinity and always find a smaller square.

lasagna,

Never even knew the original. What was it?

lasagna,

On top of how many? Still though, that’s insane. But with such an aged population it’s no wonder. Japan is in a vicious cycle and many other countries are getting there.

lasagna,

About 25% of the population voted to leave.

Vote, people. Because if you don’t, a minority might choose your future for you. You can avoid politics, but politics won’t avoid you.

lasagna,

Russia’s special operations are getting out of hand. Now they’re launching projectiles against the moon too? Talk about a paranoid nation.

lasagna,

… slaves?

lasagna,

We can already talk to animals.

But there is a problem.

lasagna,

That’s the problem with averages vs medians. It completely overlooks wealth gap.

Here is an example. Moderna CEO made something like $500 million last year. If Moderna had 1000 employees, that would mean the company’s average employee pay is $500,000. And that’s before even adding their pay to this average.

lasagna,

So many corporate cock gobblers commenting on this topic.

Parasites like Meta infiltrated our society, did their damn best to become a monopoly, currently steal from smaller businesses, lost personal data from shitloads of people, makes you their product, and even fueled instability in entire countries. Then people wonder why a government wants to use it to perhaps save a few more lives. It’s not like Meta is a company deserving of goodwill, so are you people getting a cent for this PR work or are you just suckers?

lasagna,

This post is incel stuff. There’s no reasoning with people like that.

lasagna,

The world has its own CO2 cycle so it’s not that we need to reach 0, we just need to reach a balanced emission threshold. Though at this point we will also need to aid this process with further removal.

The issue is mostly that we are outputting too much. Shipping industries, energy production, other transport such as cars and planes. These industries are a big part of the problem and the ones fueling (e.g. oil) them are the ones most interested in your feeling of hopelessness, as then they have free reign over their actions.

The world has and will get hotter. There will be more disasters. But it’s unlikely to be the end of civilisation. The more we act now, the fewer people will suffer.

It’s not a hopeless cause at all. Look at our tech now vs 100 years ago. Humanity has the means to do it.

lasagna,

Huh. Risk being stoned to death rather than a 5-choice 3-meal a day prison sentence?
