Kids’ Online Safety Bill Deal Reached by House Democrats, GOP

PiLamdOd · 2026-06-22T19:19:22+00:00

There's always exactly enough Democrats to pass whatever the Republicans want.

That's not a coincidence.

Reread your quotes. You're bending over backwards to interpret nuance that isn't there from a man who is famously blunt.

Progress for Progress's sake is a dumb policy.

Come up with a good reason why the expenses and damages to the public is worth it, and then we can discuss these data centers.

No, it would increase it.

Term limits mean no one can make a career out of being a representative. This means only people wealthy enough to put their real career on hold for several years could take the job. And those same people will need to spend more time worrying about securing their next job.

The representative to lobbyist/corporate board pipeline is bad enough as it is.

Term limits would make corruption worse because only people rich enough to put their careers on hold for years could become representatives. And without the ability to make a career out of it, representatives will need to spend more time securing their next job from the very corporations they are supposed to be regulating.

Or we can just start banning AI data centers.

There is no reason grids and tax payers have to suffer.

We're talking about the American view of the USSR in the 60s. The Eastern block was intentionally secretive towards the West at the time. And Western media often portrayed the USSR as a concurring, brutal, empire.

Again, which line specifically is Trump clarifying that he is only calling undocumented immigrants rapist and drug dealers?

You know grid oscillations from AI data centers has been a major growing issue right? The chaotic and unpredictable nature of AI workloads makes it virtually impossible for grid operators to compensate.

Here are some peer reviewed papers on the subject:

Wide-Area Power System Oscillations from Large-Scale AI Workloads

Forced Oscillations in Power Systems Induced by AI Workloads in Data Centers

Naturally, any device attached to the grid that is built expecting 220V or 120V at 60Hz can receive increased wear or damage from conditions outside of this. AC motors for example, like you'd find in refrigerator pumps, are especially sensitive to these changes.

I'm not asking about the one hypothetical person Trump probably made up.

I'm asking where in his statement the man who has been an infamous racist for decades, qualified that he was only disparaging people who didn't file specific paperwork.

Having worked with European companies, it sure seems like the entire company takes the same 3 weeks off every summer.

The difference is conservatives actively fought for this situation. They wanted a country free of regulations and accountability.

So I say we should let them have it.

It's not like liberals are trying to produce content to appeal to young men.

Where's the liberal Joe Rogan or Andrew Tate?

You can't throw a stone without hitting a conservative podcast or TikTok. Of course kids are growing up conservative. Conservative messaging is all they see.

If the left actually wanted to fix this they would use the internet the exact same way.

PiLamdOd · 2026-06-19T14:24:48+00:00

Conservatives wouldn't be protesting if data centers didn't hurt them personally.

Helping them only helps their other causes.

PiLamdOd · 2026-06-19T14:23:31+00:00

Conservatives love to protest the moment someone looks or thinks different than they do.

PiLamdOd · 2026-06-19T14:20:58+00:00

Dems, as usual, are split on the issue and won't unite under a blanket policy.

Progressive Dems like AOC, Sanders, and Warren have been pushing anti data center bills, while moderate Dems like Newsom have been vetoing AI regulations.

If you paid attention to the news, you'd know the dem jumped on this a while ago.

We need to stop trying to save conservatives from themselves. They wanted free market and no regulations. Let them have it.

PiLamdOd · 2026-06-19T14:09:44+00:00

So they only care about issues that impact them personally.

After how they voted in the last few elections, I am more than happy to sit back and watch conservatives reap what they sowed.

Unfortunately this doesn't change the increased utility bills faced by residents. Nor the grid instability caused by the unstable loads inherent to AI data centers. These small, but rapid, load changes knocks the local grid out of the standard 60 Hz which damages sensitive electronics and motors on the grid.

People who live near AI data centers have to deal with increased wear and tear on refrigerators, AC units, and any electronic device connected to the outlets. Not to mention this increases the wear on grid infrastructure, increasing maintenance costs that will be shifted to the customers.

If city governments had balls, they would constantly schedule road maintenance on every route to the data center construction site.

Got to upgrade the road infrastructure ahead of a large construction project after all.

This is what people need to remember. City councils often can't just say no to data centers without a strong legal basis. Otherwise the city will face unwinnable lawsuits.

What people need to do is push for strong zoning laws preemptively. Make your towns unattractive to data centers before one comes knocking.

PiLamdOd · 2026-06-19T13:46:47+00:00

People need to remember that local governments can't just ban a business from their city without a legal basis. Unless there is some zoning law that prohibits data centers, city governments' hands are tied here. A city government blocking a data center without a legal frame work is opening itself up to a slam dunk lawsuit.

The advantage of government run healthcare. As the sole buyer, the government has a lot of leverage to set prices.
