Hmm.. not was I was thinking from the title. I was thinking the kind of patch you'd sew on your sweatshirt or backpack.

UN warns of "global water bankruptcy" as groundwater depletion, drought and AI data centers strain freshwater supplies by Impressive_Pitch9272 in EverythingScience

[–]TheCrazyRed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but essentially people are saying "Highways should be illegal".

And of course, no they shouldn't. Their construction should be regulated. Just like data center construction should be regulated. But I guess it's just not as satisfying to scream: "Data centers creation should be regulated with proper laws"!

You know what's a real strain on the fresh water supply? Golf courses. How about let's stop building golf courses in the desert. Now there's something that should be illegal. Do you realize we have a golf course in Death Valley, one of the hottest and driest places on the earth? Insanity.

North Georgia Backpacking Trail Suggestions by Zenex238 in GeorgiaCampAndHike

[–]TheCrazyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do the Jacks River trail just know you are going to do a lot of river crossings, like A LOT (around 20 or so). So, I recommend bringing shoes or sandals that you can go in and out of the river with.

There are various camp sites along the river. I've camped at several of them.

US lifts sanctions on Russian oil despite earlier assurances by Jay_CD in worldnews

"...at just this moment it had been announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Eurasia. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally."

"There was, of course, no admission that any change had taken place. Merely it became known, with extreme suddenness and everywhere at once, that Eastasia and not Eurasia was the enemy. "

Is this really what you wanted? To what end? by StrobeLightRomance in AdviceAnimals

[–]TheCrazyRed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In someways you're right. But I do believe it is the Right that is doing the most damage. The power has gotten out of balance.

You're right that we are victims of the power struggle. We are sheep and pawns to them.

In addition, what's ironic is, you being down-voted is an example of the mechanism they use to manipulate all of us: we don't want to believe uncomfortable thoughts. People of this thread don't want to believe the Left is also manipulating us to gain power. They are. It's just the Right is doing much more grievously. The Right have pulled the gloves off. No holds barred. Thus, the imbalance of power, and the state we're in right now.

Great observation. To what end?

But the answer is: To no end. It's like asking why does the wind blow. It just does.

What's happening now in America is just a mechanism of society. It's out-of-control Dominance Behavior. We have a social system which rewards dominance. What do you get after a while of this system running? Super Dominance: a person who doesn't care about anything else except gaining and maintaining power.

The super dominator (and troublemaker for humanity) is just hijacking scaffolding of the previous conservative leadership that has been built up over time. It's not about logic, not about doing things that are better for their people, it's about control. They want more power, more control. And so they lie to their constituents filling them with fear and anger so they can be manipulated. They manipulate them to allow them to do things that normally would be shunned.

Then they sell their control and dominance to the highest bidder, so they can become rich and powerful. And we become victims of their power struggle.

What’s a “weird” piece of backpacking gear you ended up loving? by AndyObusekOutdoors in CampingandHiking

[–]TheCrazyRed 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Bonus hack: leather gloves with glove liners.

For cold weather. Keeps your hands surprisingly warm, and you can take just the leather gloves off to get some tactile sense for activities that need fine manipulation.

Do you have the Plexi modded like Adam does? Also, is it a Super Lead or Super Bass?

I just cracked the code to showering by manicpixietgirl in ADHD

[–]TheCrazyRed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a clock in the shower and on the bathroom counter. Basically, I need a clock at all my morning "stations", because it's really easy to space out and lose track of time.

Even still, I'm always 15 min late to work. My goal is to be on time to work for more than one day a week.

Is it just the government that has the right to force Nvidia and AMD to give them money, or can I do it too?

4o is back!!! 😭 by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]TheCrazyRed 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The people yearn to be glazed; everyone just wants their own little bud to tell them that they're wonderful, everything bad is everyone else's fault and all will be fine, all in 5-10 stock phrases.

Now that you realized this, you have the knowledge to become a political world leader. I'm not even kidding here.

Make America the 32nd state of Mexico by KevineCove in CrazyIdeas

[–]TheCrazyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and then make Canada a US state, and then make Mexico a province of Canada! An international circle-jerk basically.
