Across Europe, protests swell against pandemic restrictions.
As there should be, especially over lockdowns. We have vaccines now. They work. Lockdown is a mental-health-destroying blunt tool of last resort. This is now all about social control and has little to do with the pandemic.
Lockdown theater to ensure compliance. Resistance to this is the right answer; the only answer.
He’s correct. The US Navy has been safely operating nuclear powered vessels for 65 years. It’s time to get past the anti-nuke gaslighting and get real about commercial nuclear power in the US. Small modular reactors is a promising path forward. https://t.co/wm2gQXZ9Gl

Agreed. Time to get over the whiny baby fear of this. It’s the answer to many problems, with not as many downsides as the other solutions.

That could work, if it were specifically designed for the people involved. Or adjustable.
(My goal lately is to drive as many Americans away from my blog as I can. Which is easy enough to do by posting what I am already interested in.)
Aella is going to get into Big Trouble with this. She’s writing in areas that are or are close to dangerous knowledge that most liberals wish to suppress.
I’m too old to care who this makes angry anymore, but I do suspect there are salient genetic-level intelligence potential differences between ethnic groups, but those divides are probably not as neat as wished, nor present only in the places we’d suspect.
For instance, since groups in Africa are so varied genetically, I’d guess that if you removed disease/parasite load and poverty, some African groupings would land well above the white average and some below. Humanity has way, way more natural variation than the racists and the anti-racists believe.
I understand why research on this and knowledge about it is suppressed. Historically, it had only led to bad outcomes and rarely anything good. The real problem with this prohibition, though, is that once you do so, you’ve ceded all the ground here to racists and eugenicists and you have no valid defense, and in fact can’t even think about the topic anymore.
That is in a nutshell the whole problem with Dangerous Knowledge.
OKAY *cracks knuckles* i’ve got a glass of austrian rosè that’s making me sweat like i’m literally dying & my husband went to sleep at 9:30 with a migraine so LET’S DO THIS

This is a really great thread. Every UI/UX designer should read it but they won’t because the field has fully failed now.
She doesn’t mention Firefox at all, but the designers thereof did every absurd and wrong thing she mentions in this thread, and a few more besides. I don’t think people realize how much software could achieve if anyone allowed it to do so. Give me a few billion dollars and I could fairly easily build things that no one would believe possible now. We have the technology. We have the knowledge. But as with many things in our present moment of “nothing is possible” catastrophism, we just do not have the will.
