I think the biggest concern is inhaling or ingesting the “dirty” material. Our skin does a pretty good job providing some protection against the low levels of the alpha emissions of depleted uranium. However, if you were too inhale or ingest, then you face direct absorption, which carries significantly higher risk.

What the hell?
Do you need help?
If that is what you truly believe then I fear that you are a danger to yourself and others and should not be trusted to be alone or around children. There are a lot of resources available to use, even in the U.S.
I implore you to seek help from professionals.
Motherlover or Dick in a Box could both work here.
I mean isn’t this post kind of giving consent?
I’m afraid if I offer suggestions I’ll start getting knocks on my door at 2am.
Came here to say this.
Pretty sure most of the time the password is expired or invalidated, as you said, but whoever vibe coded the system was too lazy, too dumb, or too terrified of being blamed for the frustration of changing a password, that they think it is better to put ALL the frustration on the user.
Whatever the reason, I fucking hate them.
So my experience accounts for nothing?
So even though I’ve lost access to multiple titles because other software companies can’t get their shit together and were a terrible experience, I’m not allowed to use that as an example of why Valve has become the standard?
But any argument against your opinion is “simping”.
Do you even hear yourself?
What you are doing is a form of manipulation and gaslighting.
Those things Valve was sued over were also industry standard practices.
Your argument is awash with emotional outbursts which tells the real story here.
You’ve picked a side for one reason or another and just make bad arguments, trying to support it.
Show me a single game company, of that size, that HASN’T been sued. Since that seems to be your metric of what makes a company so evil.
This is a very narrow viewpoint that is borderline disingenuous.
You blame OP for being a simp, BECAUSE OF A MEME, then argue the plaintiff’s narrative without any critical breakdown or context.
You are not any better.
There is a lot of nuance here that you just ignore.
Valve is not using their resources to prevent/undermine competition.
Valve’s percentage is absolutely worthy of debate, but does not make them a monopoly.
I will state that I support Valve when it comes to the big releases, but definitely wish they tiered their fees to support smaller developers.
I get why they do it, but I wish they were a bit friendlier to the smaller developers
If the other companies used a platform that was even remotely close to the ease of use as Steam, I might feel differently, but they don’t
I have lost access to several titles because of these companies’ “competing” platforms.
Valve provides a service that is critical and beneficial. And in a way that these other companies seem incapable or unwilling to provide.
They are not preventing them from doing it in any way.
They just don’t want to get undercut on products that use their service. That is a valid argument.
Maybe if other companies didn’t create such bloated, underperforming crapware, they wouldn’t feel forced to use Steam.
And smaller developers aside, these companies already suck so much money out of the user/buyer as they can and are not passing that revenue to the actual software developer, while Valve does share its revenue with its employees, despite your claim that Gabe is buying his “27th yacht”.
Can it be any worse than what we have going on right now?
Do you want fat bees? Because this is how you get fat bees.
Ok~maybe I want fat bees.~
What are you basing your nonsense off of?
I literally did 1 min of googling to find info that proves you are talking out of your ass and posted it.
Not sure if you were intending to reply to me?
What!? Banks gave out loans so people could rebuild? Even after the lend lease program?
Countries must have been devastated and then had to swear fealty to America as a result.
Checks note
Number of countries that have to do what the U.S. tells them: zero.
Let me do the most basic of research…
From Wikipedia:
"The U.S. rebuilt Europe after WWII primarily through the
Marshall Plan (European Recovery Program, 1948–1951), providing over $13 billion (approx. $150+ billion in 2017 dollars) in aid to 16 Western European nations. The assistance was mostly grants (~90%), not loans, designed to rebuild infrastructure, boost industrial production, and curb communist influence."
I guess your fantasy is just that, a fantasy.
The only pull the U.S. has is the that the plutocrats in their own countries stand to make money too.
Global trade is mutually beneficial and isn’t “scooping up”, in any sense of the phrase, and is in no way taking advantage of people unless the terms were terrible for one of the parties, which none of them were.
The military presence across the work was a result of the cold war. And the European powers we.more than happy to let the U.S. foot the bill, for fighting the “red scare”.
The defense contracts are a result of the U.S.'s military industrial complex, that even Eisenhower warned the U.S. against.
Most of what is wrong with the U.S…can be pointed at Capitalism.
You are not wrong to invoke WWII when discussing the U.S. becoming a hedeminy, but they were already a super power. As a nation, no one was producing more than the U.S.
After WWII, the U.S.'s industrial base was virtually untouched and had no real competition. (Mao and Stalin were great at getting into power and destroying any political opposition, but they were fucking retarded when it came to running a country.)
The U.S. however became the main producer of the world and so wealth was just flowing in.
But without proper controls, capitalism just becomes a plutocracy which is evident here.
Any controls that were put into place were slowly eroded and now, with the weaponization of data, it is a lot easier to control an uneducated working class.
But now the U.S. has moved all its industry overseas and the plutocrats, that have been sucking every ounce of wealth they can, out of the economy have neutered its ability to pivot and evolve.
The fascism in the U.S. right now is probably closer to Mussolini’s version than Hitler’s, but it’s still a cultural rot that needs to be purged.
You can’t just point your finger at things you don’t like and say they did this and just shoot from the hip as to why.
You HAVE to understand how these things develop, and see how they are not some evil that manifests in a vacuum.
Just because someone is shit now, doesn’t mean they were always shit.
But also, no one is clean or pure at this point. Everyone has shit in their history, so using that to justify how you feel today is kind of dumb. Just focus on the actions now. There’s plenty to hate on, but use history to learn how these things evolve. And to do that, you actually have to have an accurate (to some extent) idea of went down.
“Scooping everything up” after WWII doesn’t even make sense in any way, to describe how anything happened in the initial years following WWII.
Damn, this is Valmond’s second post I’ve seen today that he just completely talks out of his ass.
His other post got a bunch of upvotes, so I guess it is working for him. :/
I’m sorry, what exactly did they scoop up after WWII?
This comment demonstrate’s a complete ignorance of what actually happened before, during, and after WWII.
I am not trying to defend the U.S. here, but this comment is particularly stupid.
Either you are a total fucking moron, or deliberately espousing false information for a purpose.
This made me wonder what it would actually look like.
It would be so big, would it curve around with the Lagrange point?
Would it be significant enough to see with the naked eye?
Would we see ripples or waves cause by other gravitational forces. Could it be used to detect gravitational waves?
That would be cool. Except the whole, “not seeing the moon anymore” thing.
Can you imagine the energy you would need to keep something like that from drifting off and or bunching up under its own mass?
Exactly.
It’s always an unknown factor at other places. Some of them you feel like you are taking your life in your own hands.
But Buc-ees is always a guaranteed a clean experience.
That is a lot of work for a not fun costume to wear.
