so in other words guy does classic spamming of his own work in contravention of clearly stated sitewide spam policies, gets marked as spammer, and banned from space he spammed.
shocking
Yeah, this post did actually clear something up for me though.
Like, I actually know about nuclear energy, some of the worst years of my life was nuclear enginerring school lol. And the last couple years I never understood why so many people online have such strong nuclear opinions but don't seem to actually know anything about it....
It's because there's YouTubers like this. Like. I looked at his profile and it's stuff like pictures of people climbing on Chernobyl equipment that's still dangerously radioactive
At least it's better than incels.
I think you're probably right. I've never heard of anybody assaulting or killing a woman because of their opinion on nuclear power.
Did you actually watch the video, or dismiss it out of hand based solely on the thumbnail?
Stuff like this.
Where did I ever say I watched a video?
I clicked OPs link, it's the YouTubers threads account, so I clicked on that profile, and saw a bunch of dumb shit.
Why would I ever want to then go to their YouTube page and watch any of their videos?
Like, you have no idea what we're talking about, but you're very opinionated about it.
If you want to learn about nuclear physics, it takes a little.more than watching YouTube videos, and that's definitely not the only way to learn...
"Like, you have no idea what we’re talking about, but you’re very opinionated about it."
Thought that was an apt summary of your posts on Kyle.
"This writer sucks and knows nothing, look at the cover"
"But did you even read the book"
"When did I ever say I did, I don't want to open it, why are you so opinionated"
You kind of have to consume something before people think you have a valid opinion on it. He was calling you out on it and he's clearly right, you don't have to be a baby about it.
Tells me all I need to know. Thanks.
I would point out that doubt is the appropriate response when one doesn't have all the facts. You're not asking people to trust science, you're asking people to trust in the institutions that were certain people around Chernobyl and Fukushima were totally safe and trust us bro.
I think you could make a great argument that faith in governments, regulators, and industry to protect public health is the irrational position.
I'm pro nuke, but you shouldn't dismiss those who fear nuclear tech as irrational and stupid.
...
So have you even heard of a power coefficient before?
Everyone knew Chernobyl was inherently unsafe, because a positive power coefficient is just an insane design which is why only the Soviets were doing it.
And Fukushima was concurrent earthquakes and a tsunami... Like, you can't really prepare for everything.
Your heart might be in the right place, but you clearly haven't actually learned about nuclear power.
I'm sure you've watched some YouTube videos tho, made by other people who don't understand nuclear power.
