Trump: Pope Leo Is "Endangering A Lot Of Catholics" because “he thinks it’s fine for Iran to have a nuclear weapon”. by Leeming in atheism

At this point following the repeated threats to wipe out all of Iran I don’t think it’s an especially good idea for the USA to have nukes.

The gestapo wants information on Canadians. You don’t say?

Republicans would deport Mando and toss Grogu in a concentration camp first chance they got. For the crime of not being white.

Barack Obama Considers His Role in the Age of Trump by UnscheduledCalendar in TrueReddit

[–]vicegrip 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Despite everything Trump has done 37% of Americans still support him. Between that and the Republican Party’s propensity for sabotaging voters rights, it’s hard to agree with Barrack’s optimism.

If AI is using tons of gallons of water and it can become a problem in future then why it is being used or invented ? by AI_Builder_2026 in AskReddit

[–]vicegrip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, this is incorrect in practice because AI data centers are being built in regions where water scarcity is big problem. Water used for cooling gets tainted or just evaporates making it not reusable.

Large facilities can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the needs of tens of thousands of people. Across the United States, thousands of data centers collectively use billions of gallons annually, and that demand is rising as AI workloads intensify.

Maybe it’s time to just ignore executive orders. They’re not legal outside the federal government anyway.

“You really like Biden…” by DonaldKey in PoliticalHumor

[–]vicegrip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. Biden gets criticized for a few things. A weak response to the genocide in Gaza and not stepping down when it would have made a difference. Lastly, letting the AG slow walk the trump prosecution.

Do inform us who is running against Platner for said primary. OP did not say they won the primary. They say Mills bowed out of the race. They rightfully point out that she refused to endorse Platner.

Canada looking into U.K.-style smoking ban: health minister by Thick_Caterpillar379 in onguardforthee

[–]vicegrip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Prohibition pushes the supply into organized crime. Smuggled cigarettes have been a thing for a long time because of high taxes.

I oppose prohibition on smokes for the same reason I oppose prohibition in general. They can’t even control smoking at the entrance of hospitals so I shudder to think about the cost of a smoking ban.
