Or Guillitines. I’m good with that too.

Pssshhhh!!! I ain’t doin all that!!!

I’m putting the it in for 15 minutes, then forget about it, and remember 2 hours later that I cooked a now cold pizza.

Oops.

America??? Our president right now is trying to push for COAL!!!

Because billionaires make that impossible.

The CEO of starbucks lives in LA. The HQ of starbucks is in Seattle.

He COULD move the HQ to LA. He COULD buy a 2nd house in Seattle.

Instead he takes his own personal commercial jet DAILY from LA to Seattle, and back again. Every day.

There is a commercial jet that flies the skies, using up fuel, and burning through the atmosphere 365 days a year.

All because this fuckwit doesn’t want to have a ZOOM meeting.

That’s one billionaire. One. Now think of the fact that 1 billionaire on average creates more environmental damage than 1 million regular people combined.

And that’s ONE. Now think of all the billionaires in the world. Combined.

And then there’s America. I live in America. If I need something from the store, I’ll walk. Yeah, it may be a 15 minute walk. Each way. But, c’mon. It’s not that far. By the time you look for your keys, and open the garage, and start the car, and everything, you’re looking at 5-10 minutes anyways. May as well just walk. I got a little wagon I use to carry all my groceries. It handles 750lbs.

Now, every car on the road, doing these short little trips. It feels like not much, but it adds up.

On top of all that, I have a theory that paved surfaces retain natural heat, and in the case of black tar surfaces, RAISE the heat.

As opposed to grass, which would lower it.

But billionaire or middle class, nobody wants to give up their ammenities. Even if the planet suffers. Guess we’ll all just die in an inferno.

Yes, but some linux communities are like andrew tate levels of toxic. But instead of hating women, they hate people who don’t know linux.

It would be like andrew tate starting a womens support group, but then still acting like andrew tate. The women coming out of that support group would be confused and bewildered by why people voluntarily choose this.

I remember my first time learning linux existed was in 2005. I posted a message, with zero knowledge at all about linux, and asked what people like about linux. I was trying to decide if I even liked the concept of a non-windows OS.

The first person who replied, said “WE LIKE LINUX BECAUSE WE FUCK YOUR MOM BITCH!!!”

Cool.

And I didn’t try linux that day.

…there’s an IRC??? How do I go about accessing it?

I had no idea chatrooms still existed.

I mean…my convection oven does either 410, or 425.

I cook everything at 425. So you’re not far off from what I do.

I mean…yes?

Wat

Hey…wanna do a crime?

And me, without any knowledge of this story, I’m going to weigh in with a hunch.

I haven’t read the story. I never heard of the previous story. I read your comment, and thats it.

So…here’s my hunch.

They were caught doing this before, weren’t given any REAL reprocussions. Nothing that would discourage them from keeping at it. They never stopped price fixing, and they just write off any fines for getting caught as the price of doing business.

So. How’d I do? Did I get it 100% right?

That description is like the type of thing I’d say, and other people would tell me how wrong I am.

“Just cut a hole in the roof, and get some machinery to lift the generators out, and then drop new ones in. Easy peasy!”

“It doesn’t work like that! It’s not legos. You can’t just snap a new one in the old spot like plug and play!”

“Why not?”

“Because these are highly sensitive nuclear reactors where small mistakes kill a whole city! These things weigh 100 tons EACH!!!”

“I’m sure it’ll be fiiiiiiiiine!”

And I’d be called an idiot for thinking you could just do this. Yet, in this timeline I never had this EXACT conversation, so I can’t say I was “right”, but I can totally see me having this conversation and being told I was wrong.

People always think I’m wrong, and that you can’t do things just because they aren’t regularly done.

My current thought is that if America wanted to absolutely dominate the globe in terms of GDP, they would install solar panels all along the nevada desert. All that prime solar space is being wasted.

Plop down a few million solar panels, and you could generate enough energy for the entire planet.

The bottleneck wouldn’t be creating power. The bottleneck would be distributing it.

But you could easily put something big and important in the middle of the desert. Something that consumes more energy than you can imagine.

I’m thinking like a 2,000 foot tall voltron mech which is all electric, and powered by solar.

Then if we go to war, you just send these massive mechs. No atomic bomb needed. It just flattens the city, and comes home. Recharges, and goes back out. All they do is switch it’s batteries.

What they going to do? Shoot missles at Voltron? Those missles won’t even dent the armor.

The only reason we don’t have voltron is because the solar power needed would spur a solar explosion, and everyone would be getting solar. Then power utilities wouldn’t make money.

So we don’t have Voltron because Thomas Edison’s ghost is still a capitolist.

I’ve stopped caring what the capacity is. Youtube doesn’t require a fraction of what we have already in place.

However, they’ve put so many ads that an adblock is required.

But, if you have adblock you need to click the video you need to watch, let it not load, refresh the screen, wait way longer than should be needed, and then watch the video while getting a nagging popup that says “Experiencing interuptions?”

Followed by watching the video rendering NOT rendering at various points, and you need to pause and let it buffer.

All because google thinks they are entitled to push malicious ads onto my device, and punishing me for blocking them.

The speed we have is more than enough for the internet we have. The bottleneck is the companies enshittifying their own service.

Faster speeds mean nothing when you artificially throttle them.

…gatekerping csam? Or gatekeeping AI?

Because both are rediculous statements, but for entirely different reasons.

Do you not?

If I’m understanding his comment, it doesn’t make sense at all. He wants people to discover new games…by playing the same big 4 games that everybody already plays, and aren’t unknown.

What?

I don’t even know where to start, to the point that I’m assuming I’m missing something here. Thats how little sense it makes. I’m at a point where the only logical conclusion is that I’m misunderstanding his statement.

Because otherwise…where do you even go from there? If you heard this guy saying these things on the bus, you’d just assume he’s mentally unwell.

Gottem!!!

Yes. Yes I do believe they are one and the same.

Truely a mystery. It’s one of lifes great unknowns…
