Not defending these two unethical bullies in general, but on this particular paragraph they are totally taken out of context. It is obvious that they are not downplaying the atrocities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but merely stating that nuclear energy is not bad since people are already living there again.

Fair point. I shouldā€™ve made the distinction. But in any case, nuclear power plants arenā€™t bad.

Wear protection and do daily exercises that strengthen your overal physique. If you indeed practised Brazilian jiu-jitsu then you already know how to fall, therefore youā€™re less likely to be hurt by trivial stumbles that would hurt other beginners completely new to any kind of intensive sport.

Iā€™m just addressing the fuss thatā€™s being created. They are clearly not saying ā€œthe bombings were not as bad as people thinkā€, but the headlines and articles make it seem so.

By doing this we are using the same spurious tactics as they are. Inundating people with blown out of proportion news like this will desensitise them to step into action when it will actually be warrantedā€”the boy who cried wolf.

They spew tons of misinformation/disinformation/fallacies that should be addressed instead.

I canā€™t disagree with what you quoted, nor state that it is a good argumentā€”it isnā€™t, as was already pointed out and which I do agree with. Iā€™m emphasising that they are not saying ā€œthe bombings were not as bad as people thinkā€.

ā€œWhatā€™s a browser?ā€ ā€”the general populace

I just install uBlock Origin on every device I come across. Graffiti software.

Thanks for the share, had no idea. It felt so nice that I already added two contributions to OpenStreetMap.

Had it happen to me too. Theyā€™ll refund you for this. Just be polite when asking for it.

My review on the Play Store: ā€œPremium is a scam. Hides likes which come from all over the world (clickfarms?) even though I set my radius to 5 km. But of course they only show you the fake likes (all of them) after one pays for premium.ā€
