This is my daily driver for my six mile commute to work on all pavement. I need it because we drive eight hours to grandma’s house every other year for Christmas and I need the room for my wife, kid, and small dog when we go up there.

Lmao. Just ignore every poll that says a majority of US Americans want universal healthcare, higher taxes on billionaires, legal weed, green energy, EVs, and stronger labor laws and you’re absolutely correct!

Most people are dumber than shit, are barely literate, and refuse to learn

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Thank you. I feel slightly more normal today.

Rhymes with “make guns illegal and the gun violence will stop”.

Yeah, that’s the theory. I don’t think it’s gonna work. Shooting someone and stalking someone are very different and are not mutually exclusive.

The state will argue that he plead guilty to everything right up until pulling the trigger; as soon as he fired, he stopped being a stalker and started being a shooter.

As much much as I don’t want them to be, I think the state is right.

If you clock in in order to live, your new job is to cost your company as much money as possible.

He literally said the words, “I shot him” during his plea.

Some are theorizing he’s admitting to the federal stalking charges so he can use New York’s double jeopardy laws to escape state charges for the same act.

Officially, he and his lawyers haven’t provided any reasoning for the decision.

Ah, self-taught. The slowest, most difficult way.

1. Buy books
2. Read

A “formal education” mostly involves reading a book. These books can be identified, purchaed, and read without enrolling in any course.

I have a whole shelf full of text books for IT degrees and certifications. Despite never enrolling in any classes, amazingly, the books still allowed me to read them.

Removed by mod

Oligarchs hijack the government to oppose the will of people, obviously that means every single US American wholeheartedly supports their oppressors. You must read so many books to be that smart.

We adopted the standard. The boat with the official measurements sank on the way over, you unread swine.

That might be your problem, but it’s no excuse. I have ADD and poor impulse control; that doesn’t entitle me to drive drunk, no matter how good an idea it might sound at the time due to my condition.

No one can choose their emotions.

Yeah, but most people can still explain where they come from and why they have them.

Most self aware adults anyway.

And you really need to understand, when I use terms like “adults” and “children”, very rarely am I referring to the number of birthdays someone’s had.

You busy later?

“bEcAuSe I dOn’T” is hardly a response. Every other commenter has been able to identify taste, texture, trauma, something. You’re the only one stubbornly insisted “just because” is a valid answer without contributing to the discussion.

No one is contesting your right to be picky, just asking for insight. If you don’t want to share, feel free to stfu anytime.

I’m disengaging now

Without answering the very simple question you were asked, by OP and this commenter. Way to engage.

Because datacenters are heavily reliant on electric and water utilities. Sufficient quantities of both are usually only possible in heavily populated areas with robust utility infrastructure.

AI, but could easily be done by hand.

Also, it should have a comma.

That’s how the grift economy works; you take something illegal, give it a different name, and pretend it’s something new and unregulated. The trick is to undercut all competitors with investor capital and put them out of business as quickly as possible. That way, by the time regulators try to pass laws against you, argue that you’re “essential to the economy” now that you’re the only one who operates in that sector.

Air B&B - No, we’re not an illegal hotel chain, we’re landlords who sign one-day leases.

Kashi - No, we’re not an illegal casino, this is a “prediction market”
