LOL! Alright you two.. do I have to send you to the timeout corners?
LOL!
I think electricity bills quadrupling and quintupling in cost will step in and put a pinch to much of this horseshit. Already states are stepping up to limit datacenters. Maine just put a ban on them in the state. Infrastructure matters.
Of course they are.. Shit's been going on for decades. First in print, then broadcast, now on the internet.
This is why one should always check out the sources for news and opinion.
I wanna know why Jared Kushner secured a 2 billion dollar deal from his office in the White House during Trumps first term, and Trump didn't get a cut of it.
(Daddy Trump always gets his cut..)
What silence was bought with that deal?
Let's see how Mexico's rollout of universal healthcare works (hoping it does go well for them!) then watch that entire argument fall to pieces once MAGAS realize they're still losing their homes to medical debt, or going without any affordable drugs or doctors access..
Bwahahahah! Similar to me remote accessing my husband's computer, when he falls asleep while watching videos, and I add Britney Spears to his Rammstein playlist.
Even better was the time I managed to pull up meatspin and left it on for him to enjoy once he woke up.
It should say, "play in traffic and run with scissors"
Auschwitz was a particular focus for whatever reason..
It was the largest and most streamlined of murder mills the NAZIs built. It also had a notorious sign "Arbeit Macht Frei" over it's entrance gate (which was on many of the mill gates, honestly) which means "work makes you free." A particular point of of the darkest irony considering the mills literally forced people to work with such cruelty that their only freedom from the abuse and torture was death.
NGL, it could be easier to get us back to that point and echo those horrors now, more than it's been since the end of the Second World War.. Generational amnesia - what with the liberating soldiers and victims of the camps themselves now mostly dead - being what it is.
Our great-grandparents saw and survived some hella fucked up shit.
Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau, Treblinka, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald and Sobibor were the ones I was taught about.
Then again, I was in high school from '78 to '82 so that history was a lot more close and relevant. I actually knew kids whose parents had survived the camps.
Shit was hella real.
Oh, it's been going on since Day 1. The issue with now, is that there is no one to prosecute these behaviors. It's made the grifters and scammers SO much more bold.
Pump and dump scam. Perfect indictment of the industry as a whole now that Trumplestiltskin is prez.
Super cold in the Northeast US..
Plumber removed a backroom sink a few months ago.. A sink that tapped directly into a blackwater line under a toilet. Apparently, one of the days - or overnights most likely - when the temp went well below zero farenheits.. the drain line under the floorboards froze and the inevitable happened.
I got to clean it up.
Oh, the joys of being the "property-manager/fixit girl" (that literally lives around the block) for a small business.
Welp, at least I'm the least disposable in the company, as when shit like this happens, no one else wants to tackle it, so I suppose that's good...
FML.
This is called Glass Gem and it's beautiful! I wonder how it tastes..
That is all.
I honestly think it's delightful.
Just wait until those commandments are upon the walls of the US History classes and when the teachers get invariably, to the Civil War and teach - as Texas does - that the war was over states rights.. and they read the Article of Secession that Texas wrote, the students can call that bullshit out, using the 8th commandment against "bearing false witness". (no lying)
The issue is that the real Article of Secession that Texas wrote - not the whitewashed version they teach in their schools (that, BTW. mentions States rights ZERO times) - is hella nastier about black people, than they're comfortable to admit. (page 5, paragraph that starts: "We hold, as undeiniable truths..")
I think once that one hits the classrooma, a few of the more sharp kids are going to have a field day with it.
