I'm sure it's past your time now, but if we raise awareness, perhaps we can save one person together...

Not true as I've often been born on January 1st in the early 1900's.

Don't you dare go ruining my joke with your reality-ism.

Glad you noticed that lol, it's really the make or break part of the joke.

Naw I didn't mean that, but hell yeah let's be here anyway. To me, technically the joke is that none of us probably bother to put in our real birth month and date when Steam asks us to verify our age before viewing the next game suggestion in our discovery queue or wherever; just spin that wheel for the year lol. But the wording you pointed out is the only tipoff that it's what I'm talking about, over-explaining would have made it boring, and if I go too subtle, then nobody gets it. I was genuinely thanking ye for the noticing the deliberate wording and I hope you got a chuckle :D

I hate to say it, but regardless of one's stance, on his back should be "Public perception of Fukushima, Chernobyl, and 3-mile Island."

I say regardless of one's stance, because even if the public's perceptions are off...when we remember those incidents but not how much time was in between them or the relative infrequency of disasters, they can have outsized effects on public attitude.

And before someone gets up in arms about the research papers, the researchers don’t get paid by the journals for publishing with them. In fact, the researchers need to pay the journal to publish, and then the journal turns around and charges people to read it.

What you're describing here is called predatory publishing and is not the norm. It's the "fake news" of scientific journals. I'm not "up in arms" about the original topic of making info available to the public whatsoever, just wanted to correct this part.

That's a little over 3 per waking hour.

Literally the first thing I do on every new computer I've used in the last 20 years or so is change the setting to show all file extensions. It's always been scummy of Microsoft to hide those details and can only be justified at all by the notion that they want to make people dependent on their icons...which is a decent business justification and a horrible moral justification.

That's just cause AI can't make it's mouth into the shape of an O while it says "Feb-ROO-ary.

To do, or don't to do...that is the question.

This reminded me of Akuma's death symbol from Street Fighter and it's actually pretty close.

That's really not true at all though. Look up "Food Pantries in my area" and see how many places offer food in your area. The blind man would qualify for lifetime disability checks. Food stamps are a thing, charities and churches do this kind of work as well. My city has an emergency rent program and there are, of course, homeless shelters and soup kitchens as well. It's really that society's mechanism for meeting the needs of the hungry are part voluntary (charity) and part automatic with entitlements (not a bad word!) and sometimes people fall through the cracks.

This is why getting people connected to resources is such a big deal.

Presenting subjective truths as factual is the easiest giveaway that they aren't anywhere close to being a real university. Pure propaganda, and they can't even get they right.
