bioemerl, to asklemmy in Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.

Money gets around and the government has a history of nailing people in unexpected ways.

Not really.

Rob a bank? Thanks to serial numbers they can tell it's you who is using the money.

Steal from your neighbor? Same deal. Someone will notice.

It's all risks and consequences. Most big acts of "evil" still have those risks and consequences even if you can stop time or whatever else. And your ability is going to be worth so much fuck you money to scientific and other use cases that you really won't have reason to steal or whatever.

bioemerl, to news in Nepal bans TikTok and says it disrupts social harmony

They're doing it in every country really.

Oh my God you have to pay for a service you use?

The scandal! The outrage! The horror!

bioemerl, to piracy in Steam: New Pricing Needed For Argentina and Turkey by November 20th

They have a supply. It's based on their cost to produce.

companies are looking at extracting maximum value for them. You seem to dislike that.

With artificial region locks that shouldn't exist. Open markets are better, and the bigger the market the better it is.

bioemerl, to comicstrips in I don't like ???

Just pluck them on occasion, it's fine.

Literally just open up a few games in steam DB. It's a smooth gradient of nations with differing prices. It would absolutely not be negligible.

Forcing global prices will mean that the revenue maximizing price for the first world will do down.

Publishers will not just ignore the global markets. They will just be forced to sell their games for actual value instead of "how much you can pay"

Yeah, you're just hilariously out of touch with the scale of these projects.

bioemerl, to upliftingnews in Well, this is something! (fossil-free electricity in Europe)

Really I think your entire attitude here stems from a really big underestimation of how difficult large scale projects line geothermal boreholes and dams are, and how large these projects would have to actually be.

everywhere where you can dig a deep hole

You will need a lot of really deep holes to make significant power in most places. Of course you can get to the mantle from anywhere on earth. That doesn't make it practical.

Now you’re just saying the opposite of what you said before just to fit your agenda.

Don't be a pedantic shit.

pumped storage

Works when you have a lake on a mountain and a lake below the mountain. 90 percent of places? No such luck.

After all those decades of trying to figuring out where to store the highly toxic waste and so far nobody figured it out.

Literally just in a mountain or deep underground. It's been figured out

bioemerl, to upliftingnews in Well, this is something! (fossil-free electricity in Europe)

Wind is just as unreliable as support and hydro/geothermal are very niche forms of power that don't really work at the scales needed to run large scale civilization.

All green energy is intermittent. We need storage and/or we need nuclear. Storage isn't technologically feasible yet. Nuclear is. We need to reduce emotions soon. Build nuclear plants. Keep trying to figure out storage so we can decommission them later

bioemerl, to upliftingnews in Well, this is something! (fossil-free electricity in Europe)

And convince them to build more nuclear plants.

bioemerl, to upliftingnews in Well, this is something! (fossil-free electricity in Europe)

Does it still produce more emissions than solar when your have spin up the natural gas plant every winter because people need heat and the sun isn't out?
