Well I’m 30 and I have 3, I’m really happy for everyone that doesn’t need and therefore just dont own cars, must be enormous savings per month on top of the lesser impact on the climate.
Edit: Aaaand there comes the car hate- ya’ll are talking about not imposing shit upon others, yet here you are judging me and my wife for not making it by without cars because of specific circumstances 🤷♂️ aight hypocrites.
Well I’m like 70% here, and the last 30% is through a cracked Reddit client without ads or tracking (shhh, I’ll never admit that it exists again)
Thank you so much ❤️
Wait, what? Do I have to worry about this becoming a real issue in my country? I’m on elvanse.
This resonates hard. Also incredibly fun to watch companies get to abuse loop holes and continue operations as always, then get told we need to sell our cars and turn off our heating to survive this environmental disaster.
Well, when you allow anybody regardless of papers or not seek asylum as refugee and then refusing to integrate them into understanding our laws, our culture, our language, and our society, bad things as outcome should be the expectes result. We got almost 1.3 million refugees in 10 years, in a country with 10 million inhabitants. Theyre clustered in parts without many native swedes, and many of them hate eachother due to the conflicts in their homeland. Many don’t identify as swedes, they never even got a chance to integrate into our society and most don’t even know for how much longer they’re allowed to stay. (super ineffective agency, some people have lived here for 10 years before they got fully processed).
There’s a reason why people here have started memeing about the names of people convicted of all these incredibly violent crimes, and it’s because it’s very rarely a nordic name. It’s a sad truth that’s grounded in unforgivably poor politics and immigration policies.
The far right party have grown from being a joke to being the 3rd biggest party because of it. The politics of past parties made the swedish far right into what it now is.
You mentioned chernobyl in the very comment I replied to, you being the first person in this entire comment section to do so.
You’re also oversimplifying the problems and arguing in bad faith by simply ignoring the viability and reality. You can’t just throw money at a problem and it’ll magically resolve itself. Instead of arguing against one of our safest energy sources you should turn your eyes towards fossile power plants which is genuinely killing our planet as we speak. To end that madness in any sort of reasonable time frame you need a combination of all options.
I also want to add that the production costs for nuclear power I mentioned above, doesn’t count in subsidizes, it’s based on the actual average costs among these 92 reactors without withdrawing government spendings.
My source is Statista, “the production costs equal the sum of operations and capital costs and fuel costs”.
You still are just spouting fearmongering that’s going to kill our planet before any “worst case scenarios” you can dream up about nuclear power has any chance to.
Chernobyl happened because of a multitude of reasons that just aren’t capable of happening today in the western world. This is just pure fear-mongering, it’s like saying we need to ban planes because of world trade center, or ban all research on narcotic medications because the opiod epidemic.
A wind farm costs in the range of 32 - 62 dollar per megawatts (Judith Gap/Spion Kop wind farms), compared to the 29 dollars per megawatt for nuclear power (average in USA year 2021).
In USA there are 92 reactors totaling 809 terawatt hours. To compensate for that with wind turbines you would require roughly 33.000 wind turbines all running 24/7 at max capacity with no down-time assuming a rated limit of 3 megawatt. Together those wind turbines would collectively take up 260 square kilometers.
Building them would likely be close to impossible as there isnt any infrastructure to make 33.000 in a timely manner. Since 2005 about 3000 has been built per year, assuming current production that would mean 11 years without producing parts for servicing current turbines to simply just replace the nuclear energy.
Lets make it a little more interesting and compare wind turbines to Browns Ferry nuclear plant. It has 3 reactors producing in total 3600 megawatt, to compensate for just that plant alone it would require 1200 turbines. To make it even more interesting, fossile fuel plants produces in total 2554 terawatt hours, and is the worst energy source we have, and would require roughly 104.000 turbines to offset, or 34 years of wind turbine production. That means the old turbines will have to be replaced before theyre all even fully built assuming the 20-30 year life expectancy.
Are you starting to grasp the problems with wind turbines now? To stop the usage of fossile fuel for powerplants you need other complementary systems. We need to get rid of fossile plants -now- and there’s literally no way wind turbines could ever realistically fill that role alone. You’re barking up the wrong tree.
The second I couldn’t use RIF I was out of there. Accidentally went there twice or thrice and instantly noped from all the ads.
You kill people and have a bomb with you to blow up a pond of fish
Oh yes, it’s a classic. Funny how that works with basically any animal!

I figured, maybe, you’d enjoy seeing the video I referenced in my other post 😇 You can check my post history to find the 2nd picture of her!
When I first saw her she just sat there looking at me holding a hotdog, so I threw her half, which CLEARLY wasn’t enough since she started to carefully walk towards me while sniffing… I caught the drift, got down on my knees and put the rest of it about a meter infront of me, she scurried away pretty quickly after snatching it. Next time I met her she was a lot more trusting, eventually around the time I recorded the video she’d occasionally let me pet her for a minute or two (for the exchange of a sausage).
I doubt I was the only one who had given her food though, considering how quickly she trusted me and how close she got even the first time.

Heres the clip of her :) Internet people doing internet things I suppose!

Especially polite when you’re holding anything edible. Here’s a clip of her smelling me!
Fixed it! :) reuploaded and edited the link, realized WAY too late.

Couldn’t upload videos here apparently, this is the best I could do.
The only thing she stole was my heart, and the occasional hotdog. Totally wild though.
And the point of this comment was what specifically?
