Non-English Names
  • Bad take. You don't shame people for being unable to make sounds that aren't in their native language. If someone spoke Mandarin all their life and learned English, but had to approximate the "L" sound with "R", you wouldn't have this reaction claiming that allowing that approximation is turning everything into Mandarin

  • Nuclear Power Was Once Shunned at Climate Talks. Now, It’s a Rising Star.
  • If America hadn't responded to Chernobyl with fear of atomic power and instead adopted a "this is why communism will fail, look how much better we can do it" attitude, the climate crisis would be a non-issue right now

  • In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?
  • Unless there's nuclear war, there's no such thing as the point of no return. Just a further slide into more egregious civil rights violations. Eventually it will get better, hopefully through democratic means and not violent ones.

  • Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations
  • This move actually makes zero fucking sense. Having people in our country who are willing to work less money than the average citizen labor costs are low. That basically means more money for him and his oligarch buddies.

    He's already won the election. He doesn't have to keep posturing like this. And he's not going to be elected again, so either he (hopefully) has no third term, or he'll prevent the 2028 elections from being free and fair.

    My prediction is that nothing will actually come of this and he's saying this to keep his approval rating high.

    Either that or he's even more racist than he is greedy and self-centered

  • Hyundai Is Bringing Back Buttons Because Touchscreens Are ‘Annoying’
  • Hyundai is listening to what consumers want much more readily than other manufacturers, and their body designs strike an incredible balance between modern familiarity and retrofuturism. It's almost exactly what I want from a new vehicle, other than the fact that they use all the same forced telemetry that other brands are using.

    They're also offering a great spread of electric AND hybrid vehicles to satisfy consumers worried about charger availability as well as consumers worried about the impact of gasoline-powered vehicles.

    I won't be surprised if they continue to increase their market share for a long time to come. If only privacy concerns were as common among the broader population as they seem to be here in the Fediverse, then maybe they might address those issues as well and be a no-brainer purchase.

  • Gen Z Won’t Save Us
  • The birth year range for different generations is fuzzy, but I can't find a single source saying that 2006 or 2007 would be considered gen Alpha. The youngest population that voted in this election is gen. Z, and not all members of Gen. Z are eligible to vote yet.

  • I would solve the Third Body Problem for nuggets right now
  • Something tells me he was also getting fiber, vitamins, and minerals from somewhere during that time, so unless you have a dietician on call to help you balance that out, don't eat nothing but Chicken McNuggets.
