I think it's an ironic restating of the position the previous person was presenting, but not necessarily contradictory

I'm not saying people should assassinate more right wingers. But I am saying they'd have a harder time doing this shit if there was a new one every week...

I think it's potentially instructive here to take a look at the 34th Congress of the United States. The new party that year was an upstart abolitionist party that called itself the Republican Party, you might have heard of it. In that Congress, the (brand-new as of 1854) Republican Party started with 7 and finished with 11 senators in its column, versus 0 and 1 House representatives at the start and end, respectively. Maybe the times are different enough that this isn't the right approach, but the way the Dems have utterly failed to tune into the attitudes of their own voting base puts them in a very bad historical position by my reckoning, so there just might be an opening.

You give a vague, hand-wavy effort to justify the data centers as inevitable, but crypto mining has existed for a decade and a half, and it's AI dudes building these massive data centers, not crypto bros.

Here's a hint for you as to why: crypto mining is a literal zero-sum game (but it is similar to AI in one way: the revenue is nowhere remotely near enough to pay back the capital outlay within the equipment's useful lifetime).

In other words, it's not rational economics driving this shit, it's HYPE. Hype generated by the likes of YOU.

 

Just stumbled on this page, thought people here might appreciate it

 

Reposting this thread myself because OP is not fully clear on how best to keep posts visible.

wife and i’s phone bills are due today and we heavily rely on them for practically everything from accessing funds to communicating when apart considering we dont have a reliable source of internet a lot of the time - and the month we were able to pay for at this motel is up on the 10th. to keep both on amounts to about $90 and for reference on rent it’s either $55/night, $250/week or $600/month (we stay at a motel for now) if anyone can please spare anything to help. we have no family as mine all passed away within the past year in separate incidents and no other support structure exists for us.. we honestly could really use help with food right now as well as help with paying for our medications as we havent been able to gather enough to pick up all of them but rent and phones are extremely more pressing right now ❤️🖤

TheaJo is a longtime member of this community, since just about the very beginning of the site, at which point she was unhoused IIRC. But she was able to secure housing and has been able to maintain it for multiple years. Now, though, she's at risk of losing that, so please help her avoid ending up back at square 1.

Thanks.

Seriously, how is my Johnny-come-lately ass the first one to come up with this?

 

Looks like we upset a few too many kkkanada residents over at lemmy.ca. I didn't see a post about this on here, so I thought I'd go ahead and make one.

2 of 4 reasons why are basically just PPB lol, and a third is for calling for executions of landlords mao-aggro-shining

 

I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the site for a joke is a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this site being closed is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, providing that support with advance warning is okay.

You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this site being closed is one of many things that make me feel better. It isn't a good feeling to find this site still up for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

 

The rhetoric and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “dismantle western propaganda” and "demolish organizations such as NATO” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "respecting the rules of the community instance in which they are posting/commenting.” It’s to push their beliefs and ideology.

lol. lmao even
