Doesn't that depend on the implementation? Don't get me wrong, I am also highly skeptical about governments or businesses using means like age verification to pursue an agenda of broadly restricting access to what should be free i

This seems to be the latest attempt of the conservative CDU to further reduce transparency and accountability of government officials. One could posit the goal is to enable corruption without all that hassle of the media potentially finding

Yeah it's crazy, in every post about Germany inevitably the nuclear phase out will get brought up and the comments/discussions always seem like a shit show of misinformation to me. And it's always how nuclear is being phased

It's not a ridiculous comparison in a world where Meta faces a 1.4T lawsuit over their core platform design being addictive to young people. And that lawsuit isn't brought by the EU, but by US states. So clearly there is more to i

How is it strange? As far as I know, there's quite some research on negative impact of social media on teens mental health. How is restricting access to specific age groups fundamentally different from restricting access to cigarettes

So did you just reframe the headline to match your own sentiment on that issue, or is there more substance to your comment?

At the time of planning of Chernobyl and Fukushima reactors, were the people responsible aware that their design was in fact not safe? If no, why should it be different today? And bad weather usually goes along with with significantly incre

The sun provides unlimited energy for billions of years, significantly cheaper and without the hypothetical risk of turning huge areas uninhabitable or causing incidents with damage in the trillions.

So in your eyes, the population of several western countries is (and has been for decades) dominated by complete morons, resulting in free or almost free ambulance rides? And what does the Democratic party have to do with all that? Your who

I don't see how expensive energy helps us "upgrade civilization".

You seem to be confusing Hacker News with 4chan.

I sincerely hope your optimism doesn't turn out to have been naivety.

As an EU consumer, I appreciate laws and regulations that ban selling cheap junk that might burn my house down or poison my baby. I take it you don't?

Not sure, boatloads of money perhaps? And status as the global hegemon?

Do you think your comment has any substance beyond expressing your disdain for Europe / the EU? Are you aware that Switzerland is not a member of the EU?

It's not sampling randomly though.

Is this supposed to be a joke?

Much appreciated!

Ah yes, of course. I recommend you look up the definition of fascism. Words have meanings.

I was hoping to find a video for this exercise, and instead got a video on Peter Thiel. Is that intentional?

What party are you talking about?

It most definitely is not? The decision was made in response to Fukushima, 15 years ago. Generational trauma from Chernobyl probably played a role as well. How does this relate to nuclear weapons at all?

You are accusing me of belittling "you", after you wrote "gaga show". That's ironic. And no, money is not flowing in one direction only. As I already wrote, Bavarian industry is effectively massively subsidized by t

Nuclear reactors are about the most expensive way of producing energy. If you want cheap energy you certainly want to phase out nuclear, which is only viable with massive subsidies or externalities paid for by the tax payer.
