That's a good point. Not-In-My-BackYard (NIMBY) has remained a driving force in local politics. I hope it bears its fangs on the AI data centers, and Amazon and all other big tech corps as well.

It's the stuff like Captain Ancap and our Ketamine Jester that has a part of me hoping we, or at least I, don't survive. I don't want to explain to some kid how the president of the international USA empire was besties with a man who sang about "Inflation, Inflation, Inflation... the national deeeeebt".
It's just a genocide. Grabbing innocent men and torturing them in black sites far from prying eyes. Dick Cheney would be ecstatic.
AI kinda just says stuff so maybe Elon Musk asks it a question and it gives a response that makes him feel insecure? I don't know if Musk would take it to heart in the way we'd want him to.
Everyone is twelve now.
I'm not "ok" with any of this, but that ship has sailed.
People here are really saying "don't" like ICE isn't going to be terrorizing your town anyways...
Women absolutely have pushed to break down barriers in the trades and blue collar fields. Women are also demeaned, under-considered, and sexually harassed every step along the way.
This is Lemmy, not Reddit. You can say "shoot Republicans" here :)
and they might not get into heaven if they don’t
That's it. That's the entire reasoning. This is why MAGA had that mass-psychosis about the "Rapture" late last September. This is the stated reason our Republican Senators and house Reps echo when supporting Israel. Because the Bible says those who support Israel will be raptured... except the Bible doesn't actually say that. MAGA just wants to be free of this world.
Even with their politicians in office, MAGA hates this time as much as the most devout leftist. We're all suffering, everywhere, unless you have Big money. Republicans just think that suffering under their Dear Leader is how they ascend into the afterlife, so they can finally be free of their pain. Rather than support actual policy changes, they'll try to unlock some "secret ending" they heard about in their churches.
It's actual insanity. You'd have better luck quoting scripture to getting these people to believe different nonsense, than to get them to touch base with reality. Fuck.. I can't really blame them. The last year has made me lose my mind, and I don't want it back.
It always gives me a bit of pause to remember that the Pulse gay nightclub shooting during it's Latino culture celebration was in Orlando, Florida.
