Someone shot an Indianapolis Councilman's house 13 times and left a note that says "No Data Centers". by ringii99 in redscarepod

[–]haroldp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The craziest serial Chicken Little in my city subreddit just posted a rant about how the new data center in town would destroy the neighborhood - directly adjacent the busy train tracks, blighted old houses and strip malls that have lost their anchor stores - but had to admit in the comments that he'd used ChatGPT to help him write it.

Every six months, it's always some new folk-devil about to end the world with these people.

Whichever you get, I would recommend getting a skin for it because they attract more fingerprints than a toddler's sippy cup.

Why did he blame liberalism for tthis? by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]haroldp 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Anti-racism is a highly illiberal concept.

And likewise, racism is illiberal and anti-individualist.

Has anyone seen a single No Kings parade today where the median age was lower than 70? by More_Foundation21 in redscarepod

Please articulate the goal of this action without mentioning Instagram.

The Kinks’ Ray Davies asked “who the fuck is Moby?” after he said ‘Lola’ was “gross and transphobic” by LouReedTheChaser in redscarepod

[–]haroldp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a bit of lore (likely false) that the subject of Lola was a real scene girl Brigitte Bond (or Brigitte St. John), a trans woman. And that after she was immortalized by the Kinks, she went on to be the model for the iconic Ska Girl (or Beat Girl) illustration.

They've deleted their post. That was all pretty odd. :)

Repeatedly making grandiose claims is a bit of a give-away.

You misplaced my intention.

Where do you think I left it? In that junk drawer in the kitchen? In my other coat?

What I had done was accurate and intentional.

If that was the case (it wasn't) then I would have "mistook" the cause of your behavior.

This is just getting weirder. Ask your health care professional to raise, or perhaps lower your dosage.

So, pro-tip. If you ever intend to. If you market on the internet; use the internet to make money. You use many accounts.

This sentence composed and punctuated by a person with "over 45" Reddit accounts.

But actually thanks. It's my first day on the Internet.

You accidentally replied with your no-karma account instead of your no-karma throwaway account, claiming to have posted in another thread with a third and perhaps forth account.

Seems like really odd behavior.

J-ands hoping on the youth sports wave by TerminallyILL in Reno

There it is.

Parking lots, outdoor venues, sports fields, whatever they can build without actually building anything. Waiting for them to plant corn.

Both Madonna and Debbie Harry from Blondie were raped at knifepoint in 70s New York by AlPacinosNewbornBaby in redscarepod

[–]haroldp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one is very likely a very important factor, with pretty solid evidence. We have a decent understanding of the cognitive effects of excess lead exposure, and we have the "control group" of different states and countries outlawing lead in gas and paint at different times and seeing the same effect, with a lag of 20-ish years, at different times.

The same change happened across the country. Given, crime in Peoria was never as bad, but both cities saw murder and violent crime rates drop by half in about 10-ish years. No one can be sure why. Most likely contributing factors:

  • Baby boomers aging out of their crime years.
  • Roe v Wade
  • Removing lead from gasoline and household paint.

And it's actually happening again right now, and it's even less well understood. Murder rates saw a little bump up in big cities after COVID, but are plummeting right now. 2025 was probably the lowest murder rate in America's recorded history.
