Nuclear power is really cool Why though? It’s insanely inefficient in terms of costs and really, really dangerous if something goes seriously wrong.

If you install a solar panels with a regulator, it’s running in less than 2 weeks and goes for decades with very little maintenance that almost every idiot can do. Plus, you don’t have to pay for a company’s profit while getting that energy. Now THAT is cool in my opinion.

Same for nuclear. U.S.-Americans are brainwashed on this topic.

First, they pay with their tax dollars for the subsidies that the private for-profit companies use to build the nuclear reactors. After that, they pay again, because the private company charges them extra on the electricity bill for the electricity generated by the very same nuclear reactor so that they can make even more profit.

It’s so stupid and they’re brainwashed to defend it to the teeth. They also always try to deflect from the fact that renewables are cheaper than nuclear and can be owned by them instead of a for-profit company, by pretending that everyone who opposes nuclear energy must be in favour of coal and gas. It’s mind boggling to watch.

well, thx anyway, I appreciate the effort, man :)

I live in Germany. Does DM still make any sense?

This entire political party is fucking insane. It’s telling that this numbnut is spreading the most reasonable message from their camp at the moment. The U.S. is so fucked. And it’s pathetic how most people don’t rebel. Now they say “wait for the next vote”, but there won’t be a proper vote. Your government are a bunch of pedophiles protecting themselves and each other by holding onto their power. Ah, will write nothing more. It’s not doing anything anyway.

Ok. Thanks!

Well, the dual use of work and home pc kinda fucks it up for me personally.

Oh, okay. I can’t right now, but I might do so later. Is there any good way to save a comment for later on lemmy? Maybe with that star symbol?

It’s unfathomable to me how that guy did not get impeached and is still running the country. U.S. Americans do nothing to rebel. They even still do their regular orders on his buddy’s Bezos Amazon store pages.

Sounds good.

No, those games are single-player games without anti-cheat. It’s possible that Proton has issues with older Intel processors or integrated GPUs or something. The games just don’t get running most of the time. Fortunately Battle Brothers still runs.

Don’t ask me what the fuck is broken with it, but it is. Proton may work better on newer systems with more cores in the processor, but it certainly has some black spots in terms of retro-hardware-compatibility apparently.

I don’t know exactly, because nobody wanted to help me troubleshoot the problem so I just gave up.

Oh god, another acronym? What does that mean?

Yeah, I think it’s more descriptive than trans-woman. I always got confused whether trans-woman meant someone transitioning to or away from being a woman. But I still include the word now, because maybe other people are offended otherwise. Turns out about 13 people are still proxy-offended by it though. So you just can’t do it right.

Yeah, I can’t wait to ditch it for linux. Although the Windows tax is not as expensive as the Apple tax. You mostly pay with your nerves…

Now that you say it…

EDIT: Checked out the video. It’s an ex-dude/trans-woman. So I guess that explains the funny proportions.

That’s the joke. I didn’t specify. Who you see as the unserious clown totally depends on your personal opinion.

There is no validity to the claim that immigrants cause crime.

Actually, there is, because you’ve misunderstood what I was saying. We’re kinda on the same page though. Immigrants WILL bring crime, because they’re just as likely as any other group of people to commit them. Now, the question whether they bring any crime at all is a totally different one than the question asking whether they are more or less likely to commit crimes (statistically) than the native population.

Crime statistics generally show immigrants charged for crimes at a same or lower rate than non-immigrants.

Which crime statistic? Immigration is a complex topic and the impact on crime statistics hugely depends on who immigrates into which country and who lives there.

If you ask left-leaning people to look at the historical immigration of European settlers to North America and the native population there, people will quickly say “Oh yeah, they were horrible! They came, raped, robbed and murdered the native population!”, but if you ask them how they see modern immigration, they will magically say that it’s all good and that all immigrants are good people and enrich the culture. Yet, those European settlers were immigrants as well (…). There is a huge bias towards how immigration is being seen there and it has something to do with the ideology you’re being taught while you grow up. As I have said, the truth is much more complex and harder to grasp. And you really have to look at the statistics, because some biasses turn out to be true - and others do not.

Some groups of immigrants may have a lower chance of committing crimes, others may have a higher chance of doing so.

In Germany for example, immigrants have a significantly higher crime rate than German citizens (https://de.statista.com/themen/13642/auslaenderkriminalitaet-in-deutschland/#topicOverview) and the ratio of immigrants to citizens in criminal convictions has been rising for the last 6 years (https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/223/umfrage/verurteilte-straftaeter-nach-nationalitaet/). There are many factors to consider here, like citizens more likely to report the police to the crime of an immigrant, immigrants living in poverty or destitute conditions (making it more likely for them to steal for example), less availability of lawyers and legal assistance and so on. People from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria were much more likely to commit violent acts - including rape - for example (https://www.bpb.de/themen/innere-sicherheit/dossier-innere-sicherheit/301624/migration-und-kriminalitaet/). While immigrants from Georgia and the African countries were more likely to commit acts of fraud or thievery.

Things might look totally different for the USA, Brazil, Mexico and so on.

It’s factually true to say that immigrants always bring crime.

It’s factually false to say that immigrants always bring more crime than the native population.

It’s factually true to say that immigrants can commit more crime percentage-wise than the native population.

It’s factually true to say that immigrants can commit less crime percentage-wise than the native population.

Well, that’s great and I’m happy for you! Obviously doesn’t seem to be the same on my system though.

For a person who works in a law firm, you’re shockingly bad at communication and image management.

No, I just realized that you’re an incompetent shithead who doesn’t have the humility to admit that the OS or programs can have flaws and blames it on the user.

And this just comes after…

Not the extremely the extremely hostile and confused person.

You delude yourself into somehow thinking that I will - after that - now start to cater to you, post links et cetera? You wrote that textwall for nothing. Go eat shit.

And by the way: I did work in IT and IP law for some time (European laws make it annoying though). And you sound exactly like the kind of programmer who thinks his programming is brilliant until he gets sued with a six or seven figure claim for his disfunctional shit insert surprised Pikachu face Maybe ask the questions first next time.
