  • Such a dumb question.

    Building a nuclear power plant requires the collaboration of physicists, nuclear + electrical + civil engineers, etc...

    Solar requires a certified electrician.

    We know how to build nuclear safely, it just requires a lot more effort and oversight, therefore is not something you can build at home.

  • I think messaging is more likely to see progress made on this front. I don't see regulations forcing Spotify to allow for their personalization mechanisms to be transferable and that doesn't really make sense why they should have to, while messaging I can see happen even if only due to popular demand.

  • There is a middle ground. The FDA shouldn't have the power to ban a product from the market. They should be able to publish their recommendations, however, and people who trust them can choose to follow those recommendations. Others should be free to publish their own recommendations, and some people will choose to follow those instead.

    That's putting too much responsibility on the average person, who doesn't have the time to become educated enough in biology and pharmacology to understand what every potentially harmful product may do to them. What if they never even hear the FDA recommendation?

    Also, though you'd like to think this would only harm the individual in question who purchases a harmful product, there are many ways innocent third parties could be harmed through this. Teratogens are just one example.

    This kind of laissez-faire attitude just doesn't work in the real world. There's a reason we ban overtly harmful substances.

  • As a CSA survivor, who had images taken of me while I was abused... Fuck you.

    People wanting to possess it is exactly what encourages people to produce the material. If you let people possess it with no consequences you will let the demand shoot up and basic economics should tell you what happens next with the supply part.

    That is disgusting. Seriously. You should feel ashamed of yourself.

  • I hope this is true. After 20 years of keeping it secret I'm finally in therapy for being raped as a child.

    I would be so happy if the flashbacks and memories would go away... Or be more manageable.

    God damn it this comic upset me.
