Sorry, but could you cite a specific law? I’m interested to see the differences in the EU vs. what we have here in the states.

I spent a little time trying to do my own legwork and there is stuff under GDPR but that excepts personal recordings. (Akin to the complications in the US where if you publish or profit from a video recorded in public it’s different and more complicated.)

So I am curious about how these protections are carved out and I can’t quite find the law(s) you are discussing without some help.

I’d be interested in hearing more about what law you’re referring to (or you could point me at a.similar example, I don’t need to know where you live). My understanding is that even in two-party consent states you can record in public as long as you aren’t recording conversations and/or the people being recorded have no expectation of privacy (no one should be recording anything in public bathrooms, changing rooms, etc. - you do have an expectation of privacy there even though you are in public, for instance.)

I don’t get that emotional about online stuff, but thanks for your concern.

Stay home. 🤷‍♂️ When you are in public, people can see you. You don’t get to tell me what I can and can’t look at or take a picture of. (Note that I said this was complicated, and this is where the complications start - I should be able to record you in public if I am not specifically monitoring or harassing you, or trying to obtain pictures of things under your clothes, for instance, which IS a violation of your privacy. But just walking around in public recording things? You can’t take my rights away just because you think you should have complete privacy even when out in public.)

In private you are correct. In public it is a lot more complicated.

You need a break. Go outside and look around. Breathe in the air, listen to the sounds. Trump can’t just magically take all that away from you.

Vote against him. Help get out the vote. Donate.

But live your life. Don’t let that asshole have so much space in your head. At least take a week off from politics or something to reset because as concerned as I am, you sound way too worried about stuff you can’t directly control.

Edit: I want to be clear that I think breaking people down mentally like this is part of Trump’s strategy. It’s terrifying and paralyzing. It’s not productive. I am not telling people we can ignore this, just to make sure we are not falling into the very traps they want. VOTE.

I care about that. What I don’t care about are fearmongering articles about his fever dreams that get reported like dire prognostications.

Do any of us care about his bullshit? No.

I hate that I have to read news articles about how bullshit claims will wend their way through courts for years while we continue to give attention to a shouting spray tan.

Richard Harris’ Dumbledore was spot on. Their first scene together to open the films was perfection.

I watched some of her trial. She was absolutely grossly negligent at best.

I also think her conviction should be dismissed because of this prosecutorial misconduct.

I think the police and prosecutors who suppressed evidence (wether I find that evidence credible or not) should be prosecuted. The state has a duty to follow the rule of law that is absolute.

He’s an ex-cop, right?

Hey, you may need a break! We don’t need to write the fanfic for the other side, that’s usually a sign of burnout.

You should rest up then get back to it when you can be less defeatist. We need you.

If you really feel this way, you’re too tired and need a break. Others can and will spell you.

You should take some time to recover and avoid posting defeatist stuff like this.

Hope you feel better!

Are you planning to stay home if she gets a big enough lead?

No?

WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE STOP SPOUTING THIS BULLSHIT? If the polls are good, great, then we can make it a landslide. Stop treating Harris supporters like idiots.

The market found the best solution: renewables.

You are the one here arguing we should be doing nuclear. You are the person here with an agenda.

You don’t have to convince me, if you think it’s such a great power source with such low costs you should pitch some investors.

I would think you would be the one trying to understand why nuclear plants aren’t being built if their costs are lower and benefits are higher. 🤷‍♂️

Show me the line items for long term handling of the waste, please. I am curious how much they allocated.

All of which ignores lots of real world factors that aren’t being included in the costs the commenter outlines.

Again, if nuclear were cheaper, you wouldn’t all be here downvoting my comments, you’d be discussing all the great new nuclear being onlined.

Renewables have won. They’re cheaper and easier to deploy, they’re distributed rather than concentrated, and they have lower impacts on the environment.

FWIW: I thought thorium reactors might have had some legs in the 00s, but it became clear those didn’t make fiscal sense, either.

How long does that waste need to be safely stored and what are the projected costs there? How do they compare to solar that you can deploy today?

We are not running out of space to put power generation, but we definitely need to worry about costs.
