This is a much more reasonable argument than most.

But third and fourth-gen nuclear are excellent sources of constant energy that don't require storage, and some of which have a tiny percentage of the waste stream of prior generations, and what waste they do produce is problematic along the lines of 400 years (as opposed to 27,000 years).

Indeed. The raw fact of how people tend to work doesn't make it right. It's just that hating on them for it is ineffectual.

Interesting point, but when people want to switch, and they hear Linux can do everything that windows can, they will think that everything they can do on windows can be done on Linux. To make everyone happy, Linux must be a superset. That's a tough ask.

Another thing Linux can't do: Run all hardware on many new computers.

Not that much of a problem, just buy different hardware or wait - they'll address the works. But if someone just bought fancy new hardware, and wants to put Linux on it, there is a decent chance of running into sore spots, or of Linux not booting at all.

That said, it would be pretty clear to say "Linux can't do everything windows can, and windows can't do everything Linux can. But for most cases, there's enough overlap that you'll be happy on Linux."

Edit: wording, additional stuff

The state cannot have been absolutely static - if it was, the big bang would not have occurred, and the same stasis would be existing now, unchanged.

Classic "don't let prefect be the enemy of good."

When people reduce their commercial meat intake in favor of veggies, or humanely raised and slaughtered meat, they are having a beneficial effect. Period.

This is just terrible planning. I hate that economic philosophy.

Inflation is real, though, and it is also theft.

Yeah, this is something I stand firmly behind. Fundamentally, our issue is social and cultural. We are armed, and so when we lash out, that has greater impact.

That doesn't mean we should disarm. We are armed for good reason. But we should address the underlying cultural issues.

Just do it opportunistically. You don't have to explain it to anyone, and you can make the choice whenever it's available and comfortable. You don't have to be an absolutist about your diet. Any change you make for the better, even if it's just at home or when you're alone, is enough to make some difference.

In the end, I suppose, just do what you feel good about.
