On a related note why are you so bitter over people being annoyed by the enshittification of yet another small source of joy in this hell world?

Is this that sour grapes thing? Or do you have an issue with people using reaction gifs to convey a concept that’s either too convoluted or requires too much context to type out?

For example, this entire comment could have just been;

How is it not hard scifi? Genuinely curious given the whole hyper advanced civilisation, interdimensional space travel, transhumanism as a part of daily life,

Surface Detail by Iain M Banks

Part of The Culture series but can be read standalone, potential for being one of the best hard scifi books out there

Roasting the opp so hard you make a commemorative shirt

Why do you insist on using past tense to describe what is ongoing, much the same way that nobody can point to an incident where these millionaires and billionaires that are worshipped for their celebrity status have come out and said “I was wrong, what’s going on are daily crimes against humanity the likes of which we have not seen before.”

Please elaborate on how the situation is “more complicated” to you. As of this past month there only remains about 40% of Gaza that is left unoccupied behind Israel’s imposed “yellow line”; the one where if anyone walks past it they’re shot. There are cities that have been razed to the ground and you say “Israel has been bad” like a misbehaving child.

Do you think a set of images listing out the multiple occasions where an invading and occupying force has murdered and displaced civillians is an exhaustive one, or the easiest and quickest way of cataloguing a series of warcrimes?

Also the gap is unfortunately my fault, I have double the 24-26 and missing the original for 02-23, you’ll have to, and scuse the phrase “do your own research” on those years because I can’t be bothered to argue the semantics of the genocide with you when your only argument is ‘You didnt say everything that you possibly could have so I can disregard everything you’ve said as ramblings of an idle mind’

Ah yes, because Israel never did anything to Palestinians before october 7th.

The zionist siding with the empire?

Then block me if my way of speech is that annoying?

You’ll never have to see anything that doesn’t fit neatly into your beliefs or anything that isn’t a purely literal answer to a question again.

But hey, in an effort to seem like less of a cunt; I googled it for you.

" In 2015, Congress passed the USA Freedom Act, which placed some limitations on the government’s use of Section 215. Under the new law, the government must provide a “specific selection term” that identifies the subject of the investigation before it can obtain a business records order. "

It’s still alive. It’s just been changed to fit with the times, because like with all that I brought up, the times have changed, and surveillance has changed with it.

Want to know if it’s actually stopped any terrorist attacks since 2015? Ask yourself how many mass shootings have occurred since then, and if they would count as a terrorist attack (or if the government would even tell you that the attacker/s were manipulated by a foreign entity or instead just say they were public enemy du jour.)

You asked for updated information, since this was a decade old, I asked why would they have to wiretap your phones when there’s a listening device in every home, and a fleet of satellites that know what colour underwear you’re wearing.

Your inability (or unwillingness, serving no point but to be snarky) to draw parallels between related topics has nothing to do with my illiterate/schizo ass.

That ufo shit is smoke and mirrors to disguise their concentration camps (ICE rape camps where even the kids get pregnant) and arming/ funding of genocides worldwide, oh and the Iran invasion they launched to distract from the JE files they’re all in. Its really bad out there.

Why would the government of america need to wiretap your phone when your alexa knows what you dreamt about last night, your web browser knows what you paused to take a look at when scrolling, your phone reports where it is and what it’s doing to every cell tower in range, and there is a network of fully internet connected sattelites overhead at all times capable of resolving images at CENTIMETRE scale.

I guess that also sets up the potential side business of paying poorer people to do shopping for you

Scamazon, doordash, ubereats, any of those “go buy my groceries, and bring them to my door lest I suffer the fate of seeing a peasant in any other role than serving me.” companies count as exactly that.

Just ask a millionaire what the cost of a loaf of bread is, or a 2kg bag of potatoes.

Oh fucking joyous, automatic surge pricing labels have finally hit the UK, can’t wait for it to be tied to your wifi shadow and device biometrics so that supermarkets can charge people more for daily goods than their neighbours due to their credit/social/political standing.

I mean “Haha that means it’s free, right? Lol.”

“But it’s expensive to build houses with IR emissive paint on the walls and roof, that money could be spent on buying insulation made out of petrochemicals.”

Didnt tango recently take it off the banned chemicals list because some farmer in a big hat told him that the bees deserve to die or something? Or was that asbestos? (My condolences if you live over there, with luck it’ll happen any day now)

Also spraying Glyphosphate (a known cancer inducing biocide) across all the crops in the area to poison the plants and the people, along with using White Phosphorus (an incendiary weapon banned under the Geneva convention due to it being so good at causing third degree burns and fires that cannot be put out, along with poisoning the ground and water.) on Lebanese and Gazan villages and refugee camps.

So if we ignore everything but the actual physical heat coming out of the radiator then yes, it’s really not that much, but unfortunately these units do not exist in a vacuum, and instead contribute to 3% of global emissions.

Turbine generators onsite to manage power spikes and reduce the company’s cost of buying power, in musk’s megadatacenter case, the cunt didnt even get permission, he just ordered it done, and the community suffers.

I don’t get the downvotes when you’re literally correct.
