They're making a joke by using a logical fallacy known as a false premise.

It's medium rare at most... still pink in the middle, just how Epstein liked them.

You mean you'd rather have a train set?

Monster Cable would have to find a new, useless luxury connection material. Platinum plated HDMI with carbon fiber strain relief boots.

Except contextually that makes no sense. The utility was already aware the data center would be using the water, they simply cocked up the process. Theft of service is utilizing a service with no intent to ever pay. It's clear that wasn't the case here.

Understand, I'm not defending the data center. I hope the damned thing burns to the ground. I just have this quirk where I care about the truth of situations, not exaggerating every possible angle so we can pretend it's worse than it truly is. That's the kind of hysterics the US and many other legal systems engage in, exaggerating charges to maximize penalties against their citizens, instead of seeking the truth of the matter. It's wrong when they do it, and it's just as wrong when we do it.

Certainly not shootings.

That driver is so stupid, being a fucking moron would be a huge step up. Who hits a yellow rectangle covered with flashing lights? Fucking hell, I hope they haven't reproduced.

I think it's our pal Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Stupidity more than adequately explains that one.

It took me a moment to figure out what you were on about. You actually think everyone on .ml is a Marxist Leninist? Do you think everyone on Blahaj is trans? Are you truly that much of a muppet?

I can't believe it: a ragebait screenshot with a mix of accurate and inaccurate details that make a bad situation look even worse. You all have frontal lobes, fellow apes. Use them to think critically, because there's a REASON memes like this want you to react emotionally and it's not in your best interests at all.

Tl;dr: the data center's usage is an issue, the local governments that facilitate and even encourage this behaviour are arguably even worse.

Truth: this shit hole data center used 30M gallons of water over the course of several months without being billed for it.

Rage Bait: they did it "illegally."

Truth: the data center fully intended and was allowed by local government to use that water in the course of its construction, but weren't billed because they didn't inform the local utility of one water hookup, and the utility cocked up by ignoring the usage for that hookup and failed to bill the center for the usage on its second hookup. The data center did exceed their usage limits, but that's not illegal: they simply pay penalties for the overage. The local utility waived these penalties because they're spineless.

Rage Bait: the exceedance caused a drop in water pressure.

Truth: the locals experiencing water pressure drops receive their water from groundwater while the data center uses surface water. Given groundwater recharge rates are painfully slow, the data center's usage did not cause the issue, though the pressure complaints led to the investigation that found the billing issues.

This is the second time this has happened. I delete all my old posts and comments using PowerDeleteSuite. I view my profile - everything selected is gone. A few months later, it's all back. I repeat the process, verifying it's all gone. I log in today, months later, and it's back. Simply maddening.

Is there anything I can do to make it stick?
