    On one hand, yes let’s get annoyed at companies for using alot of energy. On the other hand, we have known our energy needs will be exponential for decades yet we haven’t tackled the issue. We still burn fossil fuels, despite having the ability to not do that.

    Being angry at companies for building a new technology yet not being angry at the government and NIMBY fuckwads is a little… Backwards imo.

              It’s funny because both of you misunderstood my comment in order to reaffirm yourselfs. I don’t give a shit about trans people, they have as much right to exist as anyone else, I was talking about the right wings nonsense.

                yeah don’t come back on an alt you fucking moron

                I don’t give a shit about trans people

                that much is clear, you use trans folks like a fucking cudgel to make a shitty point. but I also don’t believe this:

                I was talking about the right wings nonsense.

                given you seem to be a bitcoin right-libertarian at best. it’s time for you to fuck off, again

                  presenting a DM from someone who absolutely doesn’t have internalized transphobia, never heard of it:

                  So I’m gonna reach out and say that you hastily misunderstood “and that shit about trans people”. I’m talking about the hate speech from the right wing. Keep me banned though that community is full of people who really have a low level reading ability.

                  when a libertarian-presenting shithead with not particularly deep political takes posts “it’s a distraction just like the bullshit about trans people” with no other qualifiers, it’s absolutely understood as a dogwhistle for “people need to shut up about trans issues”

                  and if I’m wrong about that? using trans folks to make your bullshit points is still fucking transphobia. don’t do this shit. it’s fucking concerning you can’t understand that.

                  e: also, and this is important: the republicans are planning a fucking genocide of trans folks and you’re calling it a distraction. what the fuck is wrong with you.

                    “keep me banned though”

                    the fuck? they thought a pestering third-avenue dm would have resulted in a different action?

                    “that community is full of people who really have a low level reading ability”

                    absolutely fucking perfect, 300/10, no notes

                    what the utter belligerent fuck

                  I can’t see the posts since they were removed, so this is amazing. I have no idea how he went from crypto-scented energy whataboutism to transphobia in three comments flat.

                  Also two bans in three comments is some quality speedrunning, awful-systems any%.

      I don’t think any of the reply guys I’m talking about work for the government, but I am pretty fucking angry that a lack of regulation and government oversight allows the companies I mentioned to flood the market with worthless, polluting grifttech they say needs dedicated power plants to scale to meet a fictional level of demand

      it’d be nice if anyone was seriously considering regulation that’d stop these companies from doing stupid harmful shit. unfortunately they’re not (and the ability of the US government to effectively regulate any industry at all has just been effectively ended), so I don’t really have anything to write about in that area.
