I did a lot of joint research when I was in college. I just couldn't get much done because I was stoned all the time

Reply to Major milestone for EU energy: Wind and solar produced more electricity than gas in 2022 by Zomaarwat
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 92%. (I'm a bot)
> Wind and solar power produced more of the EU's electricity than fossil gas for the first time last year.
> Through the turbulence of 2022 - from cutting ties with Russia to climate-driven drought and soaring gas prices - Europe's clean energy transition soldiered on.
> What we can say for sure, with all the certainty of hindsight, was that 2022 was a year of bold action - in which energy insecurity catalysed rather than derailed Europe's electricity transition.

I don't mean to stop trading completely, but to reduce trading in the form of sanctions. Would you support sanctioning Russia in this case?

As an alcoholic, and since drugs are illegal here, I’d like to move to canada to replace alcohol because it’s giving me stomach pain.

How does he know it will?
Comparing it to a tide doesn't make sense. It's like saying "this government policy is like someone who helps kittens, you know good"
Basically it's like a trick because you don't know if it will raise everyone up

Usa sanction is not law. It is just a showcase of their political power exerted onto smaller developed/developing nations.
If this war drags on, people/businesses will find ways to avoid it.

Mate, I'm afraid you don't understand what neutrality means.
Also, Brazil's Constitution mandates that the country's foreign policy must follow non-interventionism and peaceful resolution of conflicts. If there's a call for a peaceful settlement of the war, Brazilian diplomats are expected to be in the first row.
Also, your question is super loaded, since many European countries keep trading with Russia.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in North-west Pakistan in grip of deadly Taliban resurgence by secure_caramel
Yet we funded the Northern Alliance, which was an enemy of the Taliban and Osama. Osama getting funds indirectly is not the same at all, nor has any bearing on Pakistan allowing them haven throughout the entire Afghan campaign, which was a direct contributor to the resurgence and revival of the Taliban that enabled them to slowly come back to the point Afghanistan is where it is today. I just see salt from you with nothing of substance to contribute.

Fusion is not a "near future" option.
Research is going extremely well, and it's basically down to engineering rather than physics problems now as no-one in the industry really doubts that it will be a viable form of energy generation. But it's still 10-15 years away from even having a viable fusion reactor design, and then a huge amount more from being a dominant source of energy.
So we need to need to be concentrating on the solutions we have now (renewables, existing reactor designs, SMRs, etc.) to solve the problems for the next 20-30 years.

Reply to comment by UnicornLock in 'Shut this story down': Government released Robodebt victims' personal details to deter them from speaking out by Returnofthejedinak
That's not exactly true - liberalism is basically focused around promoting individual liberties (as the name indicates). In and of itself, it's not really "left-wing" or "right-wing" (in the same way that authoritarianism is usually not considered "naturally" left-wing or right-wing, although there is admittedly debate on that, since some would argue infringing upon the rights of people to determine their own governance is inherently anti-leftist) - but depending on what aspect of society it is actually defending, liberalism can be left-wing or right-wing.
Specifically, economic liberalism is generally right-wing, since it implies deregulation and less government intervention (and thus, weaker public services and disadvantages for the disenfranchised). However, cultural liberalism (and in the US, this would be called "social" liberalism, which confusingly enough tends to be a different thing in the rest of the world) is more associated with left-wing ideas, as it usually opposes conservative social structures.
The US' Democratic Party is (not entirely, but mostly) liberal from both a social, as well as an economic, point of view. In practice, this means that they're generally more to the left compared to the ultra-conservative social positions of the GOP, but they remain right-wing in terms of how they want to organize society, especially economically speaking.
