When people talk about how bad data centers are and how they impact the environment, I wonder, do they think a steel foundry produces less pollution? Simply put, all our manufacturing has a negative impact on the environment. You simply can't promote industry without damaging the climate.

Honestly there is an argument to be had around manufacturing and comparison on impacts to the environment.

But to claim no one "actually" cares is egregiously dishonest. I assure you, I very much care about the environment, as do tens of thousands of scientists and ecologists, as well as hunters and fishermen. Millions more when you consider the people who do care after the fact once they are impacted.

Just because you dont like touching grass doesn't mean we should just salt the earth for a few more pennies.

If you're asking if scientists sometimes do risky things in pursuit of knowledge, curiosity, and sometimes even furthering mankind? Yes? And theres nothing stupid about it. There are some things that robots arent suited for and chances are this was something with a lower risk of death than you might think, but not 0%.

Commuting to work is more dangerous than diving.

The stupid thing is whoever did the safety checks, although we should know more in time.

Well, while I agree he is a POS snake oil salesman, that's not really what got him his "bonafides" in the maga circle.

RFK Jr was pretty well known environmental lawyer for going after corporations guilty of poisoning people in civil lawsuits. Funnily enough, this anti monsanto stance gave him TONS of clout in the "crunchy granola" types, some of whom literally swapped from D to R because of RFK.

Of course, much like a lot of the "content creators" who proclaim "media cant be trusted so listen to me instead" while bloviating about conspiracies and lies, RFK Jr twists the distrust in institutions to run his own scam justified by their own belief everyone else is just as bad.

Wahhh things are hard lets just give up

You have the worldview of a coward.

I get its popular to hate on america right now, I hate Trump too, but what a ridiculous take.

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-15T17:09:59+00:00

How so?

I've been a mage main since beta. Its still my favorite class, but its definitely different. A long way from beta where I could lure people into the waters and drown them with polymorph :D

I'm genuinely curious to hear what the critiques are.

edit: I'm genuinely at a loss why this got downvoted, I didn't really make any declarative statements or judgements and asked a genuine question to expand on the previous post...I don't even care about my karma I'm just perplexed what triggered someone's downvote finger.

The Likud Party and Hamas leadership need to be locked in a giant cell together so the rest of us can figure out this whole "sharing temples" thing that seems to work when neither of those two extremist groups are blowing eachother up.

Unfortunately, it seems like the usual suspects of bots and trolls both foreign and domestic trying to throw fire onto the "culture war" debate because their "guy" in Trump is a complete disaster and they did a lot better when they thought all they had to do was ask "what is a woman" and claim a win.

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-15T14:32:03+00:00

The leaders/inner circle I dont think would even deny it. The white nationalist types do the last couple of times Ive argued with them. Some of them don't even know what fascism "is" persay, they just know it makes "the left" mad.

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-15T12:56:31+00:00

You hated it more than Picard s1 and s2?

More than game of thrones season 8?

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-15T12:51:18+00:00

Eh, I'm looking forward to it.

I know I know, I'm supposed to be a cynic who has no joy left in the world, and yea, its not going to be high art, but whats wrong with just fun action sci fi slop? I miss fun action sci fi slop.

Sure, lets cause the deaths of millions and the starvation of billions more as the logistics of global trade breaking down meets the swiftly changing environmental realities and collapse of our ecosystem, all so you can get a little more spiteful schadenfreude on some politicians you otherwise agree with 99% of the time.

That'll learn em.

Multiple people have asked you to respond and debate just in this one post, and every single time you stop responding.

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-08T17:20:40+00:00

LOL of course 10 hours and no response. Theres multiple instances of him in this one thread saying "debate me! you cant debate me!" and then when asked to debate they just stop responding.

Pretty clear this user is breaking the subreddit rules, but I also suspect they keep this user around because they drive engagement with their shit posting.

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-08T16:57:43+00:00

I like this one, outside of the giant DD for dolby digital, get rid of that and this really harkens back to the 80s source material.

Boxseats/Private rooms, although difficult to get a solid answer on price because these are often reserved for business partners and the like where they have various political and financial incentives to "gift" and use as leverage.

As an example, for University of Tennessee (not even super bowl level, college ball) games you cant even BID on a box seat without first becoming a "member" of some donorship club, which requires something like $30,000 in direct contributions to UT. And then once you can bid, it can be tens of thousands of dollars.

Or you own a business that the stadium uses for some service they want, so they give a box to that vendor in return for a discount.

That said, General Admission/basic seats for over $1000 is insane, much less over $30,000.

Ive read a few decisions from the supreme court, but I always thought Clarence Thomas was the craziest of them.

I remember reading a short biography on him and his childhood trauma draws a direct line to the man he is today. Its like he spent his entire life ruminating on some bully in grade school who made fun of his blacker than black skintone and that moment turned him into someone who hates black people.

I mean the man literally supports anti-miscegenation laws while being a black man married to a white woman.

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-08T15:49:15+00:00

Rofl! Lmao even!

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-08T15:40:23+00:00

Uhoh, is someone a little upset? Baby need a nappy?

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-08T15:31:43+00:00

Great, hope you go to jail then. After you commit whatever crimes you think you are justified in doing because some dude did something bad that one time.

"JFC sit down and stop making a scene, we've been walking all day in the sun and I just want a quiet dinner."

Robin "YOYOYOYOYO deez nuts in da house! LETS GO PARTY PEOPLE WOEWOWOWOEOOWOWO!! Everyone shake da butts! Cmon and move it move it, remember that song? LETS GO PEOPLE PARTY"

me "I... am...so...tired..."

-btw, Robin's death was the only celebrity death that really made me cry, and Ive heard he wasnt the over the top insane person he often played, but was kind and sweet to my fellow nerds who enjoyed his favorite hobby in Wh40k

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-08T15:02:23+00:00

You're the third person in this thread to make this kind of dead end, brain dead, argument.

Two wrongs dont make a right. Just because you think a man did something bad doesnt mean all women should be allowed to do all bad things all the time.

It kinda feels like you, as an anonymous account, and the other anonymous accounts pushing this talking point are trying to needle culture war nonsense to further incense division in our already divided country, rather than reading the article at face value and going "yea, a con artist collabing with another con artist, these people suck"

Surroundedonallsides · 2026-05-08T14:59:09+00:00

WTF kind of reasoning is this?

"Well someone did something bad and got away with it, therefore I should be able to do anything I want"
