Usually it’s a badly designed heat sink that’s meant to cause an eventual short so that it has to be replaced. Or just shoddy low material builds. LEDs really can last an obscene amount of time and they don’t die another part does.

Porn. Always good for the money.

And crypto bros somehow think that this means they are buying energy… But you can’t get it back after it’s burned.

They do this “I’m taking the high road” after saying incredibly rude and directly insulting things and responds as if the upset people are wrong.

I truly don’t know if they are confused why their tactic isn’t working or is just a very deeply seated self absorbed individual, and thinks of themselves as truly the only person that can be correct with zero nuance.

You ever think you project a lot on others?

You are just full of slightly wrong information aren’t you.

That is what a straw man is. It’s an argument that you make up for the purpose of having an easy win. You even keep making emotional attacks to belittle your opponent. You are making Ad Hominem attacks to make me seem completely out of touch with poor people when I am one but you don’t know cause you didn’t ask and assumed.

Literally an example is getting bribed and buying a dog and when people complain about the bribe you say people don’t like dogs but you do.

“Crypto is hurting the planet.”

Well actually it’s helping poor people that I am not one of but are totally aided by this.

Also a “Bone Apple Tea” is when someone says something like “as the Japanese say Sorry-naw-ra” you are wrong goodbye.

Nah.
You created your own fake argument for crypto currency despite not using it that way and not being the conversation when it’s about energy use.

You built your own strawman. Of an imaginary person that is benefiting in a way that makes you feel better.

You are also condescending. It doesn’t make you right in an argument it makes you self assured and self serving. Looks like I was helpful too.

I’m lucky enough to be from a country with a relatively stable fiat currency,

Oh my God that’s hilarious that you are just making up a strawman of it being helpful for reasons you don’t even use.

What a weird libertarian crypto shill perspective that is so absolutely unhelpful for anyone.

Oh my God Bosch does good on their motors. Annoyingly one of those you pay for what you get companies.

“After Hitler Trump, our turn.”

I mean historically we can see how well the people rise up to stop the national Fascist party.

People like money and feeling comfortable and it doesn’t matter how many necks must be stepped on for most.

We over assume that the empathetic humans are the ones that make up the majority. We are right they are mostly non violent but people are easy to turn a blind eye.

So yeah, can’t expect that so what can we do? I’m at bake cakes and see if I ever get a chance to kill a Nazi and be put to the firing squad.

Yeah. Just another little step.

The question is: Is there a legitimate other option?

No fantasy perfect scenario world, or all people being made to be better and more caring. As is, can we come up with a solution, a driving force, even a solid nudge to alter course and direction, so that this impact doesn’t slam into us no matter what, accepting that the inertia is already behind it.

I say this fully knowing that Biden does little other than to appease the upper class corporate interests that be and keep everything feeling on track so that it feels like someone else’s problem to anyone above it.

But fuck me, I can’t think of an out that doesn’t involve fantastical imagination at this point.

The more I learn about this timeline, the darker our future becomes.

Oh man that’s a statement that just barely scratches the surface.

As someone that has bounced around from politics, to advanced earth sciences, to the arts and now just keeps learning new things because I can’t help it… Yeah, things aren’t looking so good.

Humans will prevail and all that but we are slamming head first into a wall of spikes that is going to be and already is starting to be a giant crushing destructionary force for all of what we think of as normal.

Everyone hates the people calling for change when they feel comfortable where it is but if you are calling for change to go backwards to when you felt even more comfortable somehow that always wins, and we go barreling towards fascism from it.

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin’
Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times, they are a-changin’

Honestly, yeah. Seems like I’m arguing against brick walls and it’s not like you actually have any power to do or change anything anyways so horribly pointless

Hahaha the visceral reaction I have in my stomach every time I think about that is just… So fun.
