  • Since when has being the member of a minority group made it easier for you to get away with committing a crime? Minorities have always been persecuted more severely and more often for crimes than the majority.

    Your comment is like saying that native-born people would pretend to be immigrants to get away with crimes. It doesn’t make any sense. How would that help them?

    Nobody is interested in defending people who are criminals. There should be a burden of proof required for minorities just as there is for non-minorities. The reality we have is that minorities don’t get the benefit of the doubt that non-minorities do, so, if anything, it’s harder for criminals from a minority group to get away with things.

    So yeah, you kind of are victim blaming, I think. LGBTQ+ are the victims of a right-wing hate campaign that labels them as groomers, so when people just assume that accusations are baseless, you’re saying that’s LGBTQ+ people’s responsibility. No, the responsibility is with the hate mob.


  • I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say. LGBTQ+ people are at far higher risk of being the target of sexual abuse rather than the perpetrators. Why do you think they’d be any more willing of defending that abuse than any other group?

    The police are the group most likely to defend abuse. Why aren’t they being targeted for being groomers?

    Your comment, as far as I can understand it, is basically victim blaming LGBTQ+ people for being harassed by the right wing bigots. They’re not calling LGBTQ+ people groomers because they’ve got a genuine concern. They do it because they want to undertake genocide against LGBTQ+ people.










  • There is so much uranium in the world. Even if we completely switched over to nuclear power and without improvements in Nuclear tech, our sun would have fizzled out and we still would have uranium left.

    TL;DR: If we switched over to nuclear, we’d burn through the world’s reserves of accessible uranium ore in less than twenty years. Hopefully the sun will last a bit longer than that.

    According to 2022 Red Book, there are around 8 million tonnes of Uranium which we could extract for $260 or less, per kg. The current price for uranium is around half that, FYI, so nuclear fuel prices would have at least doubled by the point we’re extracting that last million tonne.

    Nuclear power plants use around 20 tonnes of uranium per TWh, according to the world nuclear association, and world energy consumption is around 25,000 TWh per year, according to the IEA. That would be half a million tonnes of uranium consumed per year. Meaning we would burn through the world’s reserve of reasonably accessible uranium in just sixteen years.
