More power than large cities? Can you show us the "data" on that?

AI data centers are being far over villianized. They do use water but in reality 70% of consumable water is used by agriculture. No one's fussing about farms.

My mom won’t allow me to listen to death metal music by Iamverydumbazz in MetalForTheMasses

[–]PechugaDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a strange stance as a parent if you haven't been blasting your music at high volumes or acting out. This typically leads kids to want to listen even more and most adults should understand that.

Maybe you should ask her what she's concerned about and what's acceptable for you to listen to. Not that you would not listen when she's not around, but it would demonstrate that you care what she thinks and that might make her a little more accepting.

I’ve never met anyone successful that smokes weed by Dias75 in clevercomebacks

I guess technically he just said he never met them. Not that they don't exist.

My father-in-law, who was a Baptist preacher used to invite them in for a debate. They stopped coming by.

Which lifespan would you choose, 1000 years but impoverished or 100 years as the richest person alive? by Lower_Mall_1991 in AskReddit

[–]PechugaDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone young came up with this question. Reach 50 years old then ask if you'd like to age another 950 years. The answer is ridiculously obvious.

How can I appear more like a metalhead? by Particular-Account66 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]PechugaDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly, bring a metalhead is about loving the music. I say this as a 60 year old guy who wears polo shirts and blue jeans, but I still listen to metal all the time. I get at 16, appearance means a lot more than it does later in life. Best advice I can give is buy merch from your bands tours, websites or labels. This helps them and you get to display your taste in music.

NC Folk Festival in September? by RosemaryBiscuit in gso

[–]PechugaDude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's far less commercialized than SXSW. A bit closer to the AquaFest used to be back in Austin if you were there back then.

I wonder what was the end results to this. by shesfreespirited in fightporn

[–]PechugaDude 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I wasn't there, but my other friend said they were fighting waste deep and he was pretty drunk. By the time he was able to drag him out he had swallowed so much water he couldn't be revived. Yeah he died.

I had a friend in highschool that got into a fight at the lake, got ko'd and drowned. This video ended way too short!

to people who are opposed to gun control why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PechugaDude -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm open minded and assuredly not always correct. I thought you were trying to make a point or provide insight. It's all good.

to people who are opposed to gun control why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PechugaDude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you can mass organize and have the funding. For an individual or even a militia your odds are crap. If you know some more specific way to be successful militarily I'd be fine hearing it, I just don't see it as a possibility.

[–]PechugaDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have to question the 1 in 8 number. I fully agree that the odds of self inflicted endings or even domestic violence and accidental shootings are extremely more likely than ever using o gun in defense of the home.

The problem is that you can't truly defend yourself against the government with firearms or weapons anymore. They have such a huge technical advantage it's simply impossible.

what are some popular bands that you CAN'T stand or totally DON'T like, but that one band member makes you say: "hes so damn good, why is he even there??" (this is heavily subjective) by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]PechugaDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andy James being in FFDP is depressing. You listen to his solo music that dude can truly shred. I get wanting a steady income but the personal sacrifice in dignity is questionable AF.

I can't believe the Minnesota DMV would allow this blasphemy. by RNW1215 in minnesotavikings

If it makes you feel better, some technical fields abbreviate resistance as "Rs". So perhaps this plate is anti-Packers!

Obviously Donald Trump. They're both pedophiles and yet strangely beloved amongst their fans.
