With how powerful our military and air force is honestly it's more believable than not.

Your not actually lowering the power, it's just lowering the duty time.

70% means that it runs only 70% of the time.

Microwaves are either on or off. There is no in-between.

Its the same as running something for 30 seconds letting it sit for 20 then running it for another 10.

It's also a large reason frozen dinners have you stir them.

The super bowl is broadcast into every store, restaurant and other local with a TV. People watch the super bowl from work in droves because it's passive and just on regardless.

Because censorship and virtue signaling aren't just exclusive to reddit. Most of Lemmy is barely any better if not at all in this respect.

Plenty of mods are more than happy to block anything they seem crossing the line regardless of any justification or context.

Context and intention matter, a great example to learn from on this topic is the boondocks. Gives a great insight into a community with one of the most well known slurs to have been reclaimed in America.

Even "reclaimed" it can still be used to hurt, just like any word.

In reality there's no such concept as reclaiming a word. The very idea is nonsense. There's nothing to reclaim as there was nothing lost in the first place.

A word, is a word. They have no weight or power with out intention. In Korean niga means you, in French removed is the color black.

With out the context and intention they are just words. To be hurt by words means you are being hurt by the intention, not the word it self. You can't "reclaim" others intentions, you have no power over others and part of learning to deal with the trauma of abuse and the association of that abuse with those words. Is to learn the words hold no power over you.

So to move on from the hurtful nature of the words means you must come to grips with the fact you can't control other people. And if you can't control other people there's nothing to reclaim.

Words, are just piles of definitions. If you use them to harm then it is an act of hate. If you use them to band together as brothers then it is an act of kindness.

How you act, your intentions are all that matter. Words, can not break you.

The resell for electric cars in general is absolutely FUCKED

So that alone is a problem before you even start to factor in the other problems with Tesla's.

Assuming race, As a white person you are going to struggle to get others to see you as black. Cause those are social constructs. YOU do not get to decide what others see you as when it comes to a social construct. Because the very point of a social construct is that it's the general social frame work used to see others as.

Ethnicity on the other hand, as a white skin tone person if you grew up in Africa in a tribe of indigenous people then you would be an indigenous person. Ethnicity only cares about the facts.

To mirror that to transgender.

Gender is a social construct, it's what others see you as and how you categorize into a given communities framework. This differs between communities. For example what defines a male gender in ancient Rome is different then ancient Scotland. Both having male genders that quite literally just do not exist in one or the other.

While sex is the physical only caring about the factual biological. The actual flesh and reproductive organs. You either have them, or you don't. Primary or secondary. You can alter them with modern medicine sure, but even after alteration. It still only matters what you have. Are you a male producer or female reproducer. Are you functional or not. Do you have both sets? That's basically it, sex just cares about the facts it's not socially constructed. You can't argue that someone with a penis does not have a penis.

Ethnicity tho, doesn't have a modern medicine equivalent. It just is what it is. You can't change facts, so your rather stuck with it. Unlike a penis.

Race is the construct ethnicity is physical. Race is basically the loose and flimsy way to over generalize ethnicity.

It's basically like the difference between gender and sex.

One is based on the cultures perceptived notions of a group of people based on only physical characteristics.

The other is based on the hard facts such as history or biology.

It's easy to change ones race, just go to a different part of the world with a different view of what the races are. It's impossible to change ones ethnicity as you can't change who your parents are or where you grew up.

This gets into the nerdy weeds and generally the avg layman just thinks fo the two terms as the same thing. Which is where most of the problems come from
