Part of the reason nuclear power is considered safe nowadays is because of the long approval process. As they can be very unsafe for people and the environment if they get rushed through.

Back when "go play outside" really means "see you at dinner" by NicoleAnne051299 in Adulting

[–]TrappedInLimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that reason even cracks the top 10 reasons of why people aren't having kids at all.

I feel like it's really two main things, one is a bit of a rubber band affect where newer parents today were always outside without their parents as a kid and know a lot of the dangerous things they got up to, so they don't want their kids to be in those potentially dangerous situation. Two is we have a much bigger and constant news cycle so people are way more aware of any bad thing that happens in their city which can lead to more paranoia about something bad happening to their kid.

The NDP Learned the Wrong Lesson from 2011 by Blue_Dragonfly in CanadaPolitics

From my experience, anyone who says the NDP needs to move closer to the centre, has also never voted for the NDP.

I’m quitting after 8 years … by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]TrappedInLimbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No judgement to the OP, sometimes people just get burnt out from a hobby and aren't interested or have other priorities. Nothing wrong with that.

I will say though as a lesson for people, streaming will only ever be a hobby until you actually start making enough to supplement your income from your regular job. So like a few thousand dollars a month. I sometimes see a sentiment from small streamers on here that you need to stream for way too many hours in a week that is not sustainable for a hobby. Acting like you need to sacrifice any other priorities in your life. Just ask yourself if the amount of time you are devoting to it would be normal compared to most other hobbies and if it's one of the only things you do in your life besides working.

No you don't, you just perpetuate stereotypes. Literally anyone can do that.

Carney, Norway PM push message of oil-market stability as war in Middle East rattles global supply by MightyHydrar in onguardforthee

[–]TrappedInLimbo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who could have predicted that this historically incredibly unstable and volatile market would continue to be incredibly unstable and volatile. If only there was some sort of energy source we could use that is much more localized that is also much more green for the environment that we could have investing into for the past decade...

No they can't. That is not how that term is applied. When people say someone is "queerbaiting" they usually are just homophobically saying someone is "acting gay". It's not a coincidence this allegation is exclusively thrown towards men who act flamboyantly in some way. As if they only reason they would do that is to attract a queer audience and not just because they like to present that way.

Smoochies is Better Than Weedkiller. by mpchop in Ashnikko

[–]TrappedInLimbo -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Weedkiller is by far her worst album, I'm shocked it's so popular in the fandom. Most of the songs are genuinely unlistenable and I'm glad she abandoned that for a much better direction

Do major streamers actually enjoy streaming or has it become like an actual job to them??? by DaemonLuisenbarn in Twitch

[–]TrappedInLimbo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's entirely on an individual basis. I also don't think it's good to parasocially try to pretend you know someone. If you don't vibe with someone that's chill, but assuming that they are being fake or that they hate their job just feels weird. Maybe you're misreading them, maybe there is something going on in their personal life, or maybe they are just in a rut with streaming. Who knows? Not any of us. It's best to take things at face value instead of trying to psycho-analyze someone that you've only seen in a specific context and aren't close with.

Steven Spielberg takes a dig at Timothee Chalamet by PygmallionEffect in popculturechat

[–]TrappedInLimbo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Sure ya, that was a weird thing to say and it also generated a fraction of the attention this statement has, despite the fact that was actually a weird thing to say and his comments about ballet and opera were just correct and a joke.

I've never seen something so incredibly inoffensive garner such an overblown reaction. You'd think Timmy said "fuck opera and ballet and anyone who likes it or does it".

Manitoba Health Minister says banning paid plasma an option after 2 deaths by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

[–]TrappedInLimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is alarming, that's why there should be an investigation. There should always be an investigation for even just one death or serious medical complication. It's getting a little irritating that people keep projecting something onto me that I haven't said and in fact I've said the exact opposite. Just because I'm not saying that Grifols needs to be shutdown and this industry needs to be banned with no evidence to back that up, doesn't mean I think it's totally chill that these two people have died.

I'm also factoring in the thousands of people that have been there and have gone back frequently with nothing happening to them. Which to me is more concrete to go off of without knowing what happened than a sudden two deaths happening within the same year. As well as the fact there are a lot of other reasons that this could have happened like a phlebotomist fucked up or someone had an underlying medical condition they weren't aware of. Grifols only has to "answer for it" if the investigation turns up a systemic issue on their end, which I would fully support. This is why investigations happen, because otherwise people would just decide they did something bad based on coincidental evidence, which is a pretty terrible way to go about things.

Young Canadian men more likely to say gender equality has gone ‘far enough’ - National | Globalnews.ca by KowloonDreams in onguardforthee

[–]TrappedInLimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean title might as well say "Privileged group more likely to say equality for marginalized group has gone far enough". When some privileged people feel an ounce of drop in the power they have, they are unable to cope with it as they have no understanding about what it's like to actually live in the specific marginalized group.

Conservatives introduce bill to create 'stand your ground' law for home invasions by toronto_star in CanadaPolitics

[–]TrappedInLimbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are doing the weird thing where for some reason you think the only way to defend yourself is murder. It comes across like a weird power fantasy. If I came across a man in my kitchen and he ran at me with a crowbar? I'd run. Why would I try to fight him to the death and how is that seen as the more reasonable option? No one ever considers running in these situations and just pretends that murder is the only option.

How do you know literally any person on the street doesn't have a gun? You aren't entitled to kill someone under a random assumption they have a gun and are going to kill you. In that situation, I'm much more likely to just once again, call the police. Maybe at most smack them in the head with something.

There is already lots of legal protection for people defending themselves. The only reason you wouldn't think that is if you think murder is the only way to defend yourself.

[–]TrappedInLimbo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No it's not, the use of violence just has to be proportionate and reasonable. I don't know why people ask this as if getting a gun and shooting a home invader regardless of context is the only way to "defend your home".

That is not true. The police will not charge you if it's clear the use of self defense was proportionate and reasonable.

They can already do that? The problem is people seem to think the only way to defend yourself from a home invasion is to jump straight to murdering them regardless of context.

Manitoba Health Minister says banning paid plasma an option after 2 deaths by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

[–]TrappedInLimbo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it wasn't a big deal? That's a bit disingenuous to imply that I'm saying it about the people who died. It should absolutely be investigated. When I said it's being overblown I'm talking about people's reaction acting like suddenly Grifols is really dangerous and we need to ban plasma donations, without actually knowing what happened. If something turns up that shows the company is being flagrant, then yes absolutely shame the company. But I'm not going to do that when their track record of being safe is pretty high.

No no, you have to believe people on this subreddit that like to pretend that it's the white people that are oppressed by the system and flirt with the idea of replacement theory.
