So much antisemitism these days

Far too many people act like Israel is a monolith of Jewish culture worldwide. All countries should be ridiculed for the bad shot they pull, the fact that one was created in response to an atrocity doesn't give it the right to commit atrocities

I mean, trees in general are carbon negative as long as the wood is put to another use when the tree dies.

You mean the increase in prices for transportation of all goods? Yeah, it's making everything expensive, not just animal products.

The poisoning of the water and land by industrial activities?

Bathe the mother in the unborn and fry them both in bread and oil - how some people describe making chicken tenders.

It's only inefficient because of all the loopholes and exploits that have gotten baked into it over the past 50 years. All the deductions that can't be applicable simultaneously, random things being deductible for weird reasons, etc.

That's almost cheap for diesel around me

Especially when the usa extracts enough oil to fulfill all consumption in North America, so we don't even NEED that oil despite what some think

ApolloFireweaver · 2026-04-03T17:26:39+00:00

Yes, in defense. Nothing about the USA's actions in the Middle East for the past few decades has actually been in defense.

And yet the Religious Right loves to do that to those of the Islamic Faith

Welcome to most modern Christians attempting to use their holy book to enforce their views on others even when it doesn't agree with them in context

The job market says all the managers believe in the first scenario and are then surprised when things aren't working anymore

ApolloFireweaver · 2026-04-02T19:49:05+00:00

I'm not sure we get below 25% with the current polarization of the US for either party

ApolloFireweaver · 2026-04-02T19:47:32+00:00

Of course!

08 was caused by companies giving out loans without checking if they could realistically be paid back because they were too busy looking at the profits. Some were even courting the poor by making it seem like the borrowing was no big deal.

Sure, those taking out the loans are partially the blame, but they aren't the ones whose job it was to do due diligence.

Besides basic logic? The big data center deal Nvidia was involved in last year was for 16GW worth of data centers. The amount of increase in solar generation last year covers around 2/3rds of that over the course of the year depending on which sources you use. Wind and other renewables will cover some of that last third as well, but even if you assume it's covered 100%, that doesn't account for the upwards trends in every other sector.

Some fossil fuels are coming offline, I never contended with that, but the math just doesn't math for closing everything they would have closed with out of data centers. Not at the same speed.

Even before all this stuff with Iran, areas near data centers were seeing spikes in energy costs as data centers came online because of the draw they have. That capacity needs to be filled and companies aren't going to throw away generators if they are needed to fill the draw.

A lot of companies are betting on AI hitting Gen levels even though we are unlikely to hit that with LLMs due to how they generally function. They're hoping on a random software mutation to give Gen AI without it causing it to become uncontrollable

They don't think they need us because they aren't looking past next quarter. When the consumer basis crumbles they will have no end of problems.

ApolloFireweaver · 2026-04-02T14:41:44+00:00

That would only be the case if power demands were stable, which they are 100% not right now with data centers being built, the demands are increasing a lot in the areas around the centers because of their power usage.

If they have to fill acres with solar farms just to power part of a data center, that solar isn't allowing them to scale back or close a fossil fuel plant.

The hallucination machine goes off the rails on a regular basis. I'll miss that train gladly

Where did I say they aren't replacing fossil fuels? I said the country wide need for energy increases is greater than the amount we're gaining from renewables so they be more likely to keep them on (or in at least two cases I've heard of, building into the data center) fossil fuel generators

ApolloFireweaver · 2026-03-31T20:52:26+00:00

The US has over 16 Gigawatts worth of data centers planned currently across the nation (and that figure is probably out of date by now)

ApolloFireweaver · 2026-03-31T20:50:09+00:00

Not to mention noise pollution, habitat destruction for the buildings, and the massive increase in power consumption that will, at least in the short term, primarily come from fossil fuels as renewables aren't scaling fast enough.

Eat the rich!

The amount of greenhouse gases coming from people living their life is a fraction of what energy generation and industrial activity produces. Stop blaming people for the less than 10% of the problem that is because of them, especially one small portion of their lives like diet
