The Untitled

[liberalsarecool]

The bias and double standards afforded the standard-bearers of white supremacy are obvious. Trump can do things no other person can do because he is the most visible champion of racism, misogyny, anti-blackness, and sexism.

[lordnot]

Yes. It's very obvious that Trump's loyalists have no line they won't let him cross because they see him as Their Guy.

It really is shameful when people put so much investment in defending and apologizing for a politician. It leads to some really bizarre ways of thinking about the world,

Like implying that fucking Genocide Joe was held to an unfair standard.

It's not prophecy. It's knowing simple history of food regulations. It's knowing how the "crunchy" "woo" NuAge health nuts think.

whats a stereotype for your country that you absolutely do. mine is that i unironically go "eh" and apologize a lot and i often drink maple syrup straight

The grip that Burger & Big Drink has on the American People cannot be overstated

[lordnot]

I maintain that the idea that people in the United States hate when you point out how much they love Burgers and Big Drink is misinformation

Designed to protect American egos from facing criticism for every other aspect of what it means to live in the U.S.

Is your landlord invading your privacy? Is your apartment heated inadquately? Do your utilities keep getting shut off because your landlord isn’t paying? Have you been trying to get them to repair your dishwasher for five months and they won’t replace the spray arm part even though it’s visibly broken?

You’ve heard of employee unions using collective bargaining to force the bosses to provide better pay and better working condiditions. But did you know if you rent an apartment in an apartment complex, you can do something similar?

It’s called a Tenant Association, and it’s basically a union for renters.

Here’s an overview of the why and how of forming a tenant association

Here’s a more thorough organizing manual

When it comes down to it, you and your fellow tenants are the ones paying your landlord’s salary. Go remind them of that.

*inserting new RAM into my 10 year old motherboard* "Shhh... hey, hey! It's okay girl. I didn't mean to startle you. I know it's been a little while. I've got a nice little treat for you here, okay? It's going to help you run smoother. There now, see? That wasn't so bad. I'm sorry girl. I didn't realize how much stress I've been putting you under, streaming Elden Ring with only 8 GB of memory... No wonder you're having trouble with Baldur's Gate 3. You've been doing so good though. I know you'll probably have to go soon, but we still got a few good years left. Hopefully this will help ease any pain you've been feeling. I'm going to put the cover back on the case now, okay? I love you."

I'M FIXING HER OKAY??

For important context, this was in 2023 before the RAMpocalypse. Nowadays having 8gb of RAM makes you a millionaire (16gb makes you a billionaire and 32gb a trillionaire)

This is what data centers took from us.

BAD NEWS: it will not be the same forever

GOOD NEWS: it will not be the same forever

[depsidase]

[lordnot]

Humanity will inevitably have moments where one symptom of a larger problem becomes a focus for many as the other manifestations continue to be largely ignored or overlooked.

In these moments, we should be asking:

1. Does focusing on and trying to address this specific manifestation while ignoring the others get us closer to addressing the underlying problem, or get in the way of it?

2. Can the people focused on the symptom alone be effectively converted into caring about the larger issue, and what is the best way to do so?

In this case, I think the whataboutism around data centers comes from bad faith actors trying to confound and distract in the face of a growing consensus against them, as well as individuals trying to defend their particular use of A.I. as unfairly maligned to protect their egos.
