Deaths per megawatt-hour, nuclear is the safest energy source there is.
Big Oil hates nuclear almost as much as Big Green does. So the foundation was already set when the transplants yelled "nimby! nimby!"
Speaking as a Canadian, there's a reason there isn't a homelessness problem up here like California's, and it isn't our healthcare or social plans. If you haven't ever seen a frozen corpse, you don't work within a city, that's for sure. All the major cities have departments who need to pick up the frozen dead on the regular. And it isn't like those homeless are transplants from Cali, they're also Canadians, and know how to deal with the cold. The knowledge doesn't change their life expectancy from "next February", though.
Now, these people DO have homes, and given A/C is a thing, I imagine they're insulated homes which would help, but if they aren't, then yeah, gonna have a few not waking up if they're dumb about it. But I think blackouts will not kill from cold so much as from key electronics: People who have at-home medical equipment, in example.
Which Spanish dialect are you using? I thought only mainland european spanish spoke with a cultural lisp.
Good news: Associating anything with Trump makes it no longer Normie-friendly. The more porny Trump memes, the less porn is accepted by the mainstream. It made a frog, clowns, the OK hand gesture, drinking milk, and the concept of "time" to be white supremacist symbols. Why not porn, too?
Hitler was a vegetarian animal-rights-activist, who was a strong proponent of recycling and womens rights compared to most of his era. He was also big on the whole "unearned privilege needs to be Equalized, tax the rich" thing. If it weren't for the whole "bad optics" thing he'd be a darling of the Left, like their daddies Lenin and Stalin who killed many more than he did (which shows it isn't the death count that matters to them, it's just the optics).
If you mean something like just translating rap songs, yeah it is done.
But actual sign language rhyming would not be just translating vocalized things. The concept of rhyming is words that sound very similar, more or less. Same vowel sounds and syllabic flow, and ideally ending on the same consonant noise.
So "Rhyming" in sign language would be making gestures that are very similar but still clearly different meanings.
Ones I know of off-hand... "Morning" and "evening" are one arm bend in front representing Earth, the other hand "sunrising" or "sunsetting" overtop it (push away, or pull towards you). So I guess those two words might "rhyme" in Sign.
From what I understand, which is basically just reading into the recent Signing phenominon and playing through Katawa Shoujo (so, you know, basically an expert) sign language is a completely a-tonal language, that is, it does not have inflection or tone. "Jerry, you stupid git" could be said aloud with a laugh, a growl, an exasperated sigh, or a scream, and impart four different meanings, but sign will have none. Add onto this the fact sign language is a simplified language with limited words, and a lot of context is easily lost. [Even the example phrase I gave, in Sign, would be something like "Jerry: Stupid", trimming down excess words to a technical writer's degree.]
The over-expressiveness of Sign interpreters is meant to make up for that fact. Like adding a " :p " in a text, facial expression adds some of that context back, and since it is part of the speech rather than one of many subtle cues, it is over-emoted as a part of the message.
So a flat and "boring" interpreter would "read" like a formal legal document press release. No room for anything that may require "tone" such as a joke, sarcasm, or even an insult, since the LEVEL of insult intended would require tone, see "Jerry: Stupid" above.
As a Machiavellian view, yes, yes they would: Japan has a VERY weird population spread and age, and a huge sum of their government money goes to the extreme elderly, who spend it vacationing or on imported goods (including imported medicines and medical), that is, the money leaves Japan, what the government pays does not come back into their coffers (the most common and obvious flaw in UBI) and instead goes to other countries. To remove the SIGNIFICANT financial strain the elderly have on the Japanese diet would be an immesurable boon to their situation.
But that's being a horrible monster. Of course they want to preserve their elderly population. Sure, it would be financially and societally profitable to NOT do so, but you'd have to be some kind of soulless monster, like a lawyer or a politician, to want that outcome to pass.
If someone can instantly recite HR laws, I don't trust them.
I have a generally good idea of the laws, but 99% of laws that aren't financial or tax in nature are basically just "be a reasonable person". I know where to go to look up legal interpretations and applications, but memorize them myself? Not a chance. Anyone who has MEMORIZED any significant amount of the laws is planning to use them for evil. Anyone: Lawyers have legal secretaries that look up what they loosely remember. Yeah, even LAWYERS don't memorize the laws.
Six months ago. Some places just haven't updated the NPC patch yet.
The difference is there is a chance, however small it may be, that Putin actually controls Russia. Reasonable doubt exists that it is actually the leader, leading the nation.
It is beyond reasonable doubt to think Biden can even control his own faculties, let alone the nation. Someone's controlling things, but it sure as hell ain't Cornpop Hairylegs.
Civil Right Act... Civil Rights... Why does that ring a bell?
Oh, was that the thing Democrats were trying to repeal in Cali under the excuse of "fixing racism"?
What you're describing is somewhat like Dengue fever, or certain venoms. There exists a wide swath of things that if they hit us once, have minimal impact, but the initial hit "primes" our immune system, and a subsequent hit has vastly worsened conditions. So the concern would be, like those things, this vaccine is priming for a subsequent worsened infection, rather than training the body to fight it off properly?
I do not believe this to be the case, but I have no paper to back it. Ultimately, the 'rona is both not all that contagious with even minor precaution, and not all that fatal, which is great, but makes for harder data gathering. The vast, VAST majority of people who get infected, never get re-infected to any level our tests would show. Which implies the normal virus doesn't have this "priming" behavior.
As for the mRNA modifier... It might. It's new tech, it could cause all SORTS of horrific side effects down the line. But immediate reinfection leading to massive death is unlikely for a simple reason: There's a profit motive for fearmongering, and the news hasn't bitten. UK death rate 12-14 days after detection rate, from COVID, are relatively stable. They advertise the "superstrain" like it's football, but they don't harp or showcase an increase in death rate, and they would, 100%, the moment they could legally do so: They're vultures in the MSM, they FEED on death. But with 6.2 million people vaccinated there, started as early as last month, there's a window where that death count should have jumped up quite a bit if the vaccine primed things in that manner, to use the UK as a live human experiment petri dish.
It causes all sorts of side effects, and the long-term effects are 100% unknown, but that particular SHORT-TERM effect seems unlikely, given the data we have on the UK.
"People". Oh you sweet summer child. It's been months since they've prohibited dogs and cats from interacting outside their social bubble over here, because all living entities spread the rona. It is the world's strongest and most effective disease. In 99.9999999% of cases, a disease spreading from one animal type to one single other is a remarkable mutation, but the rona can apparently spread from any animate entity to another.
Words do matter. If they didn't, so many would not be annoyed by this "awomen" thing. Words are how peace and growth occur. Those who would destroy language seek the destruction of peace and growth, they seek violence and regression. The Tower of Babble. People grow too strong, too powerful, and then the destruction of language and unifying thought destroys them. Could have Salt Pillar'd them, but that wasn't needed. Words matter enough that their removal was sufficient.
But I thought Albert Einstein was black. Just like Queen Elizabeth, who I saw in that movie as black...
Unfortunately for her, pretty sure the proposal to repeal Civil Rights in Cali failed. Even places that drink SJW Corp on the daily (look it up, it's a real thing, San Jose Water Corporation) thought it was too big an ask.
Is that you, Mr. President?
It's a combination of both.
When you're young, everything is new to you. Everything is literally the best or worst thing to ever happen in that sphere, because it's the only thing to have happened in it. You hit peaks, you hit troughs, and then everything else feels cheap, imitation, average.
I've had surgery where chunks of face are ripped out and placed into other parts of my face, rending flesh from fat and muscle, and reusing all three. The pain upon waking was amazing. Fascinatingly so. It surpassed agony and went right into dissociation. Nothing since has compared, despite years and years going by. Peak pain has yet to be surpassed. My friend's newborn child? The pain of starvation of milk being 2-3 minutes later than expected is their greatest agony.
Some things hold up to time, but many do not. Nostalgia wrongs you, and confirmation bias wrongs you. People like to remember that good, the forgettable is... forgettable. So when you remember, you're remembering the notable things. You ever notice that "best of the 70s and 80s" music has, like, 100 songs max on the playlist? More than 100 songs were written across two decades. Most of them trash. But you remember the good. Then you hear the good, remembering it, confirming your thought.
There's a lot of trash out there. But there always has been. Twenty years from now, people will be playing Despacito, Uptown Funk, and Happy as Best Of 2010s, and think that all the "was in top-200 for one week" songs in 2030 suck compared to them, forgetting those are literally the highest rated songs of this decade and they're comparing them to random side works.
Many things have been cheapened, but many others it is just your human nature failing you. It is important to distinguish which is which.
Economic deaths: Starvation, suicide, mental illness-related issues, alcoholism, drugs.
Non-economic deaths: Untreated illnesses due to not going to clinics when they should have out of fear of the coof, improper-mask-use-related respiratory diseases, riots.
Other factors: Elderly-subject ailments create a "reaping" effect that front-loads deaths. As the average age of Coof-deaths is 82, and the average age of death is 81, there will be large amounts of elderly deaths, but then no more elderly to die, so death rates in the coming year or three will be lower as a concequence of the reaping effect.
There is no doubt that the death rate will be higher from a reaping effect ailment and all those other factors. And not like Heart Disease went away during lockdown. The number should be higher than prior years. The question is if it will bounce back to normal, in which case virus deaths were grossly misreported, or bounce back to much LOWER because of that reaping effect, which is what would be assumed to happen if the virus was indeed reaping those over their estimated death dates as is reported.
Factcheck: False. Russia and China do not need to deal with "ZERO" of it. Several of their intelligence agents are forced to deal with it day in and day out while they take active part in spreading it through America.
"Breeders", such an insensitive term. Don't they know that some of you Front-Holers are infertile?
Yeah, "Front-Hole Owners" was my favorite dehumanizing term they tried pushing for women.
It overall wasn't bad. A LOT of peace deals were brokered. Compared to minor things like losing a vacation or letting one of your local businesses shutter because you don't want to support them, approaching world peace is a pretty strong "plus" side.
Within a half-month, we will see another full moon. This increase in full-moon-edness is clearly the result of human pollution, as we know historically, there's only 12 full moons per year, but if we take the current snapshot of one in two weeks, there will be 24 full moons this year, and thus, global warming is a clear and present threat.
