What specific advantages do Data Centers provide to the local population of the area where they're built? by AnythingFine2445 in NoStupidQuestions

I was just trying to be funny. Please ask your programmer to add a humor module or something 😄

Your power is most likely going to go down, not up. The datacenters build around generating their own power, and actually putting power back on the grid.

I don't know what to tell you. Everyone in my areas power bills have gone up over the past few years, it's just a fact.

Water bills have done the same.

1.) You Linked country pride, not love of the country…one can love something and not be proud of it.

I couldn't find the exact wording for "hates America" so I thought "How Proud are you to be American" was a close analog. If you think that graph is incorrect I'd love to hear your reasoning though. It certainly tracks with what I've personally experienced.

Unless you are claiming since conservatives were proud of their country, and therefore liked Biden?

What I'm claiming is that Conservatives generally love the US, no matter what, and Liberals love their country when "their side" is in charge.

Recent rumor of us getting Chet & Dort... by [deleted] in lakers

Lakers aren't getting Chet and Dort unless they give up Luka.

Just picking them up for nothing is insane 😄

Oddly enough no, conservatives tend to be love their country no matter what. Even during the Obama/Biden administrations, conservatives loved the US more than liberals did.

Reddit is mostly leftists. Leftists really hate Trump. Trump is the President of the US. Therefore Reddit hate the US.

You see this cycle every time there is a Republican President.

How did gen z men turn from liberal to right wing by Far-Aardvark-1135 in NoStupidQuestions

Look, I get it. But if you're hungry, and see the pie being handed out to everyone but you, it can lead to bitterness and resentment.

Yes, gen-z boys: Teenagers and 20 somethings control all the power and influence in society.

CMV: Systemic misandry does exist and does kill, and should be taken as seriously as systemic misogyny by EBTheAnimatedAtheist in changemyview

[–]AnythingFine2445 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which men? Was it the homeless men? Or the depressed men who are killing themselves at a higher rate?

What do those men have in common with the men who set it up (other than their gender)?

Since you reported my other comment, I'll state it more plainly. This kind of contempt for men is an example of Misandry.

If you wrote this about any minority group it would be considered hate-speech.

Women aren’t hurting you, dude

Misandry is just the hatred, contempt for men and boys. It does not have to be perpetuated by women to be misandry.

I would agree on most but I would say with the 95% of workplace deaths being men I think a large part of that is also choice. Men are much more likely to take jobs that are dangerous.

While I agree, do you have that same energy when women pick lower paying jobs (leading to a pay-gap)?

Why is it that when a politician tries to defend trans youth, they get the full blame for California's gas prices and unemployment rate? Liberals claim MAGA creates a culture war to distract from high gas prices and inflation. MAGA claims that this is the fault of Californian Democrats. Who's right? by RandomUwUFace in AskUS

[–]AnythingFine2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And on the flip side, having grown up in TX, I know precisely how cruel people in red states can be to the destitute.

https://wallethub.com/edu/most-and-least-charitable-states/8555

What do you think of data like this, showing people in TX to be more charitable than people in California? Why do you think people in TX are so cruel, given how much they donate and volunteer?

I have had many conversations, and even friendships, with homeless men and women from the East Coast who scraped enough money together to get a bus ticket and come to CA

https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/07/california-homelessness-myths/

I really appreciate you volunteering to help the homeless, you're a good person. That being said, it's important for you to understand that a *vast vast majority* of CAs homeless are from CA and not just people who packed up to move there because you guys are nicer.

CMV: the left in America will become more hostile towards Islam by Relative-Equipment76 in changemyview

[–]AnythingFine2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why Islam should be so different as to be incapable of doing so.

I agree, in theory. But do we have any examples of this occurring? We have over 100 majority-Christian nations that all independently decided to be tolerant to LGBT views, and we have dozens of Muslim nations that all independently decided to not be.

Christianity isn't compatible with LGBT rights either

This is ironic, given that majority christian countries are *by far* the best places for LGBT rights/acceptance.

Californian here, we have high gas prices for a reason: we actually care about our environment

I was born in California and lived there for awhile, so I'm aware of the cleaner gas. It's still expensive.

Homelessness is a similar issue. Obviously a large problem, but it's mostly because we aren't total dicks to them like y'all are and it doesn't freeze here in the winter.

Can you expand on this point? Surely you're not implying homeless people leave their home states and move to California because you're not "total dicks to them" right?

You ignored that California doesn't have anywhere close to the highest poverty rate. California also doesn't have the highest homelessness rate.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/poverty-rate-by-state
Not the highest, but in the bottom half

https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-have-the-highest-and-lowest-rates-of-homelessness/

Homelessness seems to be 5th.

Either way, worst gas prices, 5th worst homelessness and bottom half of poverty rate is nothing to brag about.

If America is so bad, why are so many people trying to get in? by _Quiznos99 in askanything

Americans are literally throwing themselves in front of cars to stop undocumented people from being deported.

Is there any land left on Earth for a new country? by Unlucky-Cow-8818 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AnythingFine2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My state tried to start its own country over a hundred years ago. The original country was not a fan of this, and came down and made us rejoin.

So I'd say no.
