The great replacement conspiracy theory is explicitly racist, not classist.

That doesn’t mean you’re being replaced. It means demographics are changing, like they always do.

If you feel threatened by that, you do you, but I don’t give a shit.

Trump: /openly peddles Neo-Nazi rhetoric/

Neo-Nazis: /Celebrate that Trump and friends are peddling their propaganda/

Salon: /Reports on the mainstreaming of extremist political views by Trump and other Republicans/

You: “Salon should shut the fuck up”

It seems you picked a side in this issue, and that side is decidedly against the press and not against Fascism.

This only affects the ultra rich, so maybe they have it coming to them.

Don’t be reductive. Anyone who owns $100M worth of investments, be they stocks, bonds, or real estate holdings, needs to pay more in taxes.

This is targeting 1%ers hoarding capital, not your rental properties. We’ll come after landlords’ underserved income later as we further tackle the housing affordability crisis.

347 Mbit/s maximum. (But don’t expect that at 9.9 miles…)

The "WiFi HaLow"name itself indicates lower power usage than traditional Wifi, largely because it uses the 900MHz band instead of the 2.4/5/6GHz bands.

Likewise, it isn’t compatible with existing WiFi client devices that don’t operate at those bands.

This is like a 30 minute beginner’s API project. If that admin is married to it, they have bad priorities.

Yeah, historical accuracy is implicitly anti-Conservative. Before you know it you’ll be asking for such biased things as “evidence” and “accountability”.

“My father is running out of lives here,” son Eric Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “How many more rifles are going to come within assassination distance of my father?”

THEY’RE BLAMING THE GUNS! 😂

So you’re saying that we should be concerned with datacenters more than things like factory farming and oil & gas?

I don’t follow. I need a lot more evidence of harm before I become “very concerned” about datacenters specifically.

Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two “technology branches” already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.

I think you would be shocked if you learned what some other things in our world cost in CO2.

The energy costs of cryptocurrency mining are easy to calculate because the system is extremely transparent. AI is a little muddier, but we know how much big tech is expanding data centers, and we know how many enterprise GPUs Nvidia sells, so we get a decent estimate.

But these things don’t actually do as much damage as compared to other things. Imagine how much energy is used for Gaming PCs and consoles. It’s probably up there with Crypto and AI if you consider all running consoles and PCs, plus all the multiplayer infrastructure. But we don’t have numbers because this is hard to calculate.

And then there’s stuff like personal automobiles, that completely blow these other things out-of-the-water.

What do you disagree with specifically? It only affects people with over $100M in wealth.

Do you think the tax goes too far, and if so, why are you protecting the wealth of the 1%?

Or do you think the tax doesn’t go far enough, and if so, wouldn’t opposition it just mean not passing a tax at all, which would be worse?

Or do you know nothing about her proposal and thought it was going to affect your paltry investment income?

It’s more like the Republican party has moved so far to the extreme that other party members are endorsing the opposition party candidate because they recognize who the lesser of two evils is.

Kamala is a shift to the left from Biden. You should be fucking happy.

Yeah, he recognizes that the Republican party can survive a Harris presidency, but not a Trump presidency.

That would be a compelling reason to vote for Trump if I wasn’t certain that the entire Republic will collapse if he gets another term.

Congratulations on being the right combination of passible straight, white, cisgender, male, and Christian to not worry about the consequences of another Trump term.

The rest of us don’t have the luxury of purity-testing Harris because the alternative is a fascist who wants us dead.

Regardless, the fact that old school Republicans are endorsing a Democrat over the fascist should serve as evidence that Trump is bad even for a Republican, but folks like you seem more interested in painting Harris as the more conservative candidate for some reason. It’s almost like you prefer Trump…

Battle Royale is about kids killing each other, not being killed in the course of competitive trials.

If anything, Hunger Games is a bigger culprit for that.

The movie “Luck” came out 13 years before Squid Game…

Hard to steal content from the future.

Glad you two found a way to make this about yourselves.

Tournament brackets don’t actually decide the most capable team, with NFL the teams that make it to the Superbowl being largely based on chance. A lot of the language around strategy is just being overly verbose about the literal mechanics of the game. Coaches mostly just try to keep their team “playing the game” (literally and figuratively) to give them the best chances of making it.

It’s basically a big lottery machine powered by athletes, funded by ultra-rich team owners, and decided through arbitrary rules and procedures, and everyone wants to know who the winner will be because it’s entertaining to watch.

But nobody burns anything to the ground, we just accept the rules, even though they aren’t really fair.

There’s no such thing as objectively good singer.

I’m gonna stop you right there, chief. Singing ability is measurable, and quantifiable. You absolutely can be objectively good or bad at it. This isn’t a statement of personal taste, it’s a matter of basic observation. It is possible to dislike a song, and conclude the singing is good. It’s possible to like a song and conclude that the singing is bad.

You can be wrong about a person’s singing ability if you are unable to separate your personal preferences for singing with an objective look at things like a singer’s pitch control, consistency, emotionality, and flexibility.

Musical preference is a subjective thing, but musical theory is much less so.

With that said, Taylor Swift is objectively an excellent singer. I’m not a huge fan of her music, but I don’t have to be to know that it’s true.
