I will take a look at the original article.

But again I’m going to restate that the article you posted uses tech oligarchs as primary sources. Which just on the face of it looks like green washing.

The usage metrics for energy that support his argument came from Sam Altman. And this is also terrible reasoning because it doesn’t really matter that the prompts are only 0.3ml. Since the rest comes from generating a response.

However, that 2 mL of water is mostly the water used in the normal power plants the data center draws from. The prompt itself only uses about 0.3 mL, so if you’re mainly worried about the water data centers use per prompt, you use about 300,000 times as much every day in your normal life.

Your parent comment got nine down votes and coupled with this one I’m going to just call it what it is, you were trolling.

They being the DNC. And a black woman working as a civilian at the local the air force isn’t exactly a red flag to me. I mean, I held my nose and voted for the DA. Even ignoring her policies on fracking and the campaign advice she was getting from her brother in law. The one who is quite complicit in destroying the working class.

Anyway, here’s some nuance from Wikipedia concerning Turner-Sloss. Her backing by many progressive organizations. And how the establishment DNC conspired against her. They are the they I am referring too.

"Turner-Sloss was first elected in 2021, garnering about 29% of the votes in the 4-way general election.[13][15][16] She campaigned alongside incumbent commissioner Darryl Fairchild,[17] who finished in second and was re-elected to another term. In that election Turner-Sloss was endorsed by the Ohio Working Families Party,[18] Our Revolution Ohio, the Dayton chapter of the Sunrise Movement,[19] and other progressive organizations and labor unions including her own, the American Federation of Government Employees local 1138.[2]

Though a member of the Democratic Party, she has been considered “outside the establishment”.[20] She was not endorsed by the Montgomery County Democratic Party during any of her campaigns, including the successful one in 2021. In fact, the Montgomery County Democratic Party released attack ads against Turner-Sloss and Fairchild, for which the Ohio Democratic Party issued an apology, stating that the ads “violated several of their mailer policies.”.[21] The controversy resulted in the resignation of the county party’s Executive Director,[22] the retirement of the county party Chair,[23] and an official apology of the county party Central Committee which stated that “Commissioner Fairchild and candidate Turner-Sloss – and all their supporters – are valued members of the county party.”[22]

If they are progressive, then why are they scared of progressives running?
I think you dropped this /s

Hi, drug nerd here. Especially psychedelic plants and fungi.

Don’t.

And not just because I tried it in my twenties and had a really horrible time. But also because I’ve learned a lot in the last two decades about the plant, and that potency of the alkaloids and it can vary significantly.

A dose someone took in a trip report where they had mild effects could cause temporary or permanent blindness for you. Because the plant that you are consuming may be a lot more potent than theirs was.

But yes, the trip is horrible. If you want to know what it’s like it’s a form of delirium. So if you’ve ever been up for long periods of time in your mind has started playing tricks on you it’s like that. On top of this you also experience urinary retention, which means I spent the night getting up to use the bathroom while delirious and being unable to pee.

And remember I mentioned temporary blindness, I had what you could call the opposite of tunnel vision. I wasn’t able to focus and could really only see using my peripheral vision. This effect lasted well into the next day.

And while I was actually high, I was mostly experiencing audio hallucinations and I just wanted it to be over so I tried to sleep through it.

Calling LGBT content sexual deviance is bigotry. Regardless of it being your opinion. It’s still a bigoted opinion you chose to break the rules to share.

And since bigotry is against the rules, you’re like a guest that doesn’t respect their host by pissing on the floor. Leaking their bladder (your bigoted opinion) all over the carpet.

Which is why the host kicked you out (banned you).

So you can see my imagination is fine and shielding your bigotry behind ‘that’s just my opinion’ doesn’t fly on most of lemmy.

Hope that helps.

Not just against the grain, against the instance rules. If you want to be a bigot at least have the decency to take it to X or Truth Social.

Well this last election really broke me from thinking of myself as an American. I just happen to live here.

Because the truth is our democracy is managed by oligarch propaganda. And our votes mean very little outside of local elections.

A vote for Trump and a vote for Harris were both going to continue the harms of the MIC and the fossil fuel industry. Yes, Trump is an accelerant.

And I voted not to add gasoline. But the fire was going to burn one way or the other. Because that’s the wishes of Wall Street. And ultimately our vote means little.
