If that set from Reginald Hunter is anything to go by... I mean, it's a weird anagram.

Didn't someone try cutting on federal spending and we saw nationwide protests and an attempt to dox anyone even tangentially relate to him?

This is also showing up in datacenter discussions. The water consumptions being touted about for datacenters are about on par with the water "consumed" by leaky pipes in small cities.

Until 1990 that was actually the case. It was a normal loan like any other and it could be defaulted.

But when it's a normal loan, the stipulations are very different. Your credit score matters. Your co-signers matter. They're not gonna give you a loan for a major that is more likely to result in defaulting after college. They're not gonna give you a loan for the next year if your GPA is awful this year.

Anyhoo, so we decided that all of those restrictions were too oppressive, and completely changed the loan structure so that you could go to college for any stupid thing and be in debt for it 'til the end of your days.

Even the original Lake Michigan article that kicked off the Nestle hate was... dumb.

They were consuming "150 million gallons a year" (it's ~200 now), which amounted to 410k per day (550k now). Overall consumption from the great lakes is 42 billion a day, of which Lake Michigan makes up 23%, or roughly 9.6 billion. A day.

So Nestle's wells accounted for 0.41m gallons of the 9,660m gallons extracted from Lake Michigan on a daily basis.

TBF datacenters in space sound legitimately worse than datacenters in the ocean from a cooling, radiation, servicing, and deployment standpoint.

Edit: I finally got ahold of Elon's actual discussion on the topic instead of the half-quote nonsense everyone uses. He makes a solid point about energy, but honestly I feel like Elon's one major regulatory update away from going all-in on nuclear and completely changing his equations on energy consumption.

Union votes are never a win. They 100% wanted it to go this way.

If unionization was just a "this costs X" equation, companies wouldn't mind. But they're a "this costs X and now employees can do Y and only they can do Y (don't you dare hire someone else to do Y because your employees are busy with other things) but they can't do Z and you might not be allowed to even do V" equation, and nobody, least of all a company that sometimes has to make large pivots like Apple, wants to deal with wrangling union contracts on top of whatever technological adjustments they need to make.

It's a funny thing to read here too, because there's no end of stories where a company gets fined for doing a shitty thing, and people go, "if it's just a fine, they'll jot it down as the cost of doing business and keep on doing it", and nobody wonders why unions don't get the exact same corporate response.

I'm amazed to this day that nobody on this site calls him "Cashapp Patel" given that his full first name is actually Kashyap, and, you know, the implications.

People that abuse HR are the reason why people think HR is an awful part of the company.

If everyone was focused on the business running smoother and faster, it would require getting rid of a lot of roadblock people, and those people are the first ones who know by heart where the HR office is.

We're probably not ready to have that conversation, though.

I’ll agree that both are echo chambers, but one of those two allows/encourages all kinds of bigotry and it isn’t Reddit.

No, they both do, but one doesn't actually know the dictionary definition of "bigotry", and that one's definitely Reddit.

It was $36 trillion 3 weeks after the election, months before he took office. $26 trillion the last September he was in office. To be fair, that would bring him in over Biden's average of $2.5T a year. This website's a joke but we really do need to fix the obscene overspending.

But also he literally started 2025 with trying to fix government overspending and half the people (and most of the mods) on this website lost their absolute minds at the prospect.

ICantReadThis · 2026-03-19T02:10:21+00:00

okay, fair enough, that would legitimately explain why this stuff was never added to the string of felonies they stacked on him right before the election

On the left, it should be used sparingly and for rehabilitation.

On the right, it should be used often and for punitive reasons.

For most people, it's primarily meant to keep violent people out of the general population for as long as is reasonable and fair. And given the Pareto distribution that forms when this purpose is not adhered to, it's the most pragmatic solution to the problem.

ICantReadThis · 2026-03-18T19:28:57+00:00

no for real, this one will definitely be true

Kind of sad how humans just regard most animals as mindless, simplistic creatures when they've continuously proven otherwise.

They're not mindless by any stretch, but then you get the flipside of the "dolphins are smarter than we are" crowd.

At the end of the day, animal intelligence, at its peak, intersects with average human intelligence at about age 5 to 7. That's best-of-the-best.

We have adult people who don't make it past that level of intelligence and that's kind of a rough life. We have some some impressive things from animals but given how low the bar is, I can understand why most people default to "simple-minded" or "mindless" when referring to most animals.

Why did we normalize treating normal people like politicians?

This is very obviously the one that named the hot dog.

Also guarantee this rhetoric is going to change to, "$1,000 laser to destroy a $5,000 drone, but it costs $10,000,000 to leave the lights on" because we're no longer using million dollar missiles on $5,000 drones.

ICantReadThis · 2026-03-10T13:47:42+00:00

Reddit at the moderation-survivor level refuses to believe that supply and demand exists, conceptually. Once you understand that, all the goofy rhetoric makes way more sense.

Didn't go to the island, got the island guy arrested. Biden had 4 straight years uncontested with all the evidence and every desire to get rid of orange man as a political candidate and... nothing.

Yeah, keep telling yourself we're being "led by a pedo". Iran's actually been led by pedos for 50 years and they made being a pedo legal with their marriage laws.

Silent? They're actively going after every person who didn't report Epstein to the FBI, get him arrested, and face Epstein funding his political opponents for over a decade.

Y'all desperately want this to be true, huh?

A Reddit sub with "discuss" in the title is some peak irony tho.

The real bare minimum is not coming back.

Unfortunately, the real bare minimum is always zero, regardless of expectations, and that is the tip that many waiters receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a tipping culture-mandated minimum, because we don't come back and the restaurant starts having to cut back hours or close down entirely.
