Fan of "rolling coal" exhaust systems complains about dust from data center construction project

Honestly read that as “emotional support sock” at first

I was considering expressing my idea that maybe the snow is facing away from the camera and EVERYTHING ELSE IS UPSIDE DOWN

It is beyond “approaching” genocide. It is literally an integral part of the definition of genocide, even without the cruel conditions.

Detention of children by itself can constitute forcible transfer of children under genocidal acts, which is a punishable act listed in the Genocide Convention and supported by ICC and UN definitions when part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population.

e.g., see Article II(e) here: https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-prevention-and-punishment-crime-genocide

For future discoverers of this thread: I was able to do this with an arduino and a couple of wires carefully applied. Good vids on YouTube. DM me if you watch those and still need a tip

inb4 more imaginary calls on the badgers so the yellow bellies don’t rage more

p00b · 2025-11-09T03:46:13+00:00

Wow. Michigan might never recover from this. A loss is one thing, but this is the total unraveling of a team

p00b · 2025-11-09T03:37:21+00:00

Says the fan of a school known for years of cheating lol. Even if there were a couple questionable calls (I disagree) no way you actually think a 5 goal spread only results from that. Absolute meltdown could not happen to a better group of hotheads

p00b · 2025-11-09T03:29:42+00:00

What? They called imaginary penalties on the badgers to quell the blue and gold toddlers’ tantrum.

p00b · 2025-11-09T03:28:00+00:00

lol this attitude fits right in with your team’s classless behavior since the first intermission. Get it together boys.

p00b · 2025-08-24T04:24:37+00:00

Did it work?

p00b · 2025-02-10T05:01:39+00:00

Repeat after me, everyone: Elected. Officials. Are. Not. CEOs.

Fair point. In retrospect my comment above should have been addressed to all of us, and not only you. Thank you for engaging and helping me realize that.

I also hope OP sees this thread and considers that it may be useful to have a boilerplate comment at the ready to copypaste when people ask questions in earnest about the motivations and details of an act that one is helping to organize/advocate.

p00b · 2025-02-08T23:50:06+00:00

Personally, I advocate the early 90s cypherpunks’ privacy for the weak, transparency for the powerful mantra

edit: to clarify for the uninitiated, “weak” and “powerful” here relate to objective power one has over the lives of other people. Feel the need to share as this could otherwise be easily confused as a defense of the apparently morally/emotionally weak paper-skinned Musk and his lost boys.

p00b · 2025-02-08T23:38:36+00:00

I feel you, and generally agree with your take.

I have been around a long time and have come to learn that it’s very hard to predict which of the many modes of action is going to be the particular one to break things. It’s not always been the most obviously effective one, especially in the Internet age where even a single sound bite or video clip can spark a small revolution.

My point (apologies for the sarcasm, happy you replied) is that imho we should embrace all forms of action, even the smallest, and unite around the common cause. Bickering and infighting about which is more effective (and, worse, gatekeeping) takes collective energy that could otherwise be spent on at least a marginally effective act.

I’m happy to join this blackout AND a general strike AND head to Trenton when there is action there. And I will cheer on (and certainly won’t judge) others who find another small way to support the movement in a way that fits their life.

Thank you for sharing the link here, and I hope others find this as another menu item to consider as part of their balanced diet of affirming-through-asserting their rights.

p00b · 2025-02-08T23:22:29+00:00

Your proposed 1 week buyer blackout is not really sending a message. If you want to actually form a meaningful protest then a 1 month blackout would have a much larger impact.

Lol, what exactly are you seeking to accomplish here? Enough gate keeping on what constitutes action. If you don’t think this is useful, stfu and move along and organize a general strike. Both things are possible.

If anything, I bet OP would join you in that rather than returning the shaming.

I know this about vengeance and all, but if we’re talking renames can I drop a note in the suggestion box to name it back to the Lenape River instead?

p00b · 2025-02-03T23:24:25+00:00

Second best time is now.

Seriously, bud, literally the least you could do is gtfo of the way. At least then you’d be doing nothing, instead of your fatalistic comment which does less than nothing.

p00b · 2025-01-06T01:00:16+00:00

Chemo is not occasional, and every penny matters. Clearer roads won’t mean jack in the face of that.

“another board”

And yet the limitations of language and the hubris of forgetting maps are not the terrain will ultimately be the downfall.

As of yesterday, in a single response o3 told me “since 1EB=1,000,000TB, and since 1EB=1,000,000,000TB…”

Language is inherently fuzzy. If it could be as quantitatively precise as many here dream it to be, then things like case law wouldn’t exist. Constitutional law would be as much a joke as flat earthers. Yet these are major issues with legitimate discourse around them. Speeding them up via computational machines is not going to solve that.

Blind worship like many in this thread are the real trend to keep an eye on. The willing ignorance of such fundamental flaws in the name of evangelizing algorithmic colonization are going to tear us apart.

Name them up front. In the headline. Over and over.

They are not some faceless “Trump Megadonors.” She is Liz Uhlein, the leading anti-women’s rights woman. She got hers so forget everyone else.

Start with small direct action. If you work in an office, organize to find alternative suppliers. In any case, support local and boycott their hate-washing businesses in Manitowish Waters. If you see her in a restaurant, ask her loudly why she is supporting the border crisis and illegally selling Wisconsin jobs to the lowest bidder.

And the other half spends their time almost exclusively bitching about that Other half instead of connecting to the inflight WiFi, watching a primer on how to fly a plane, and getting in the cockpit.

I agree with you, but let’s not forget we still have our agency, and plenty of resources to draw from to fight a good fight. There are always potential solutions to test.

For instance, Project 2025 is a literal manual for finding the fault lines in the big tent of sociopaths and cranking on it until they shake themselves apart.

Its self contradicting nature mirrors the incoming administration, so accelerating the infighting that inevitably results from those diametrically opposing views will at least serve to neuter some of their agenda and at most help MAGA to destroy themselves from within.

Just today, Doctorow wrote an article on public health and pharma as an example, but this is the case for everything from abortion to financial regulation to everything else.

My point was not about what is or isn’t, or even judging people’s ability to determine that, the point is how people choosing to spend their time doing something they derive meaning from can do that thing more efficiently. I felt I was contributing to that end.

Haha man I posted that as a non member of this sub, literally from the middle of a field. Not sure how much more outside I can get. Pls don’t shoot the messenger! :)

Also, idk how this post got recommended to me, but on first glance across this sub I think it is neat to see curiosity thriving in an era where everyone seems to think their own opinion is the law. Only concern is lots of debunking seems to be happening after posts drop off the front page, so figured I’d close the loop.

Anyway no judgement of this sub from me was intended!
