People on Lemmy are just as bad.

Wind turbines? Solar thermal? Nuclear in exchange for all of those Bitcoins, perhaps?

I mean, fair, but still. People should push them to go green.

You can get solar panels for like $100-$200 on Amazon right now. Nice ones. The price of them dropped like a fucking rock since China got involved.

I agree with you. That still means Bitcoin is on the hook though.

You’d think with all of the money they’re pulling in, they’d invest in solar panels or something to lower their overhead.

Or am I making the mistake of approaching the situation with common sense?

Oh oops, F, hold on

Planes are ubiquitous to the global north. They’re not an American thing.

So clearly we need a different solution than cutting back on emissions.

I’d argue we might have to start human expansion into space to have any real positive impact. A solar shade, for example, could block out enough sunlight to artificially prevent warming and stabilize the climate while we construct or seek out alternative energy resources.

How would they go about it, do you think? Is there a legal way such a thing could be shut down?

You don’t sound any better to be quite frank. You’re not only lowering yourself by stooping to their level, but you’re legitimizing their behavior by doing exactly what they accused Flying Squid of doing.

I’m surprised no one here has organized something like this yet.

What really matters is that shelter, food and basic necessities is put into the hands of those who need it and no one is discussing how best to do that.

It’s never too late to do what is right and to make amends for wrongs committed no matter how long ago it happened. Your actions affect people for the rest of their lives, often changing them permanently, and this is why we must aspire to be kinder to each other and to emphasize with one another.

Especially in terms of genocide and other crimes committed against whole cultures. Those types of crimes not only affect the direct victims, but their descendants, whose potential, prospects and lives were permanently changed for the worse before they were even born. What the Native Americans suffered is so horrendous it is hard to even describe. And it is all a part of the United States’s long history of racism, fascism, slavery and hatred.

To argue it’s irrelevant is not only pretty obnoxious but incorrect.

It’s a thinly-veiled justification for allowing AI-generated art on a platform whose user base clearly does not want it.

So I propose a solution:

We start and fund a non-profit organization designed to produce basic living essentials and sell it at the cost to manufacture, regardless of market pressures. Then we all collectively buy from this non-profit and have a functional means of production legally owned and controlled by the people.

Set up strict rules to ban anyone who has ever worked in any upper management position in any for-profit basic essentials producing company from ever holding any position of power in the non-profit. No one from the corporate world at all. No one from any position in state or federal government. No lobbyists or consultants or members of their think tanks or any of their goons.

Use open source designs for the factories and everyone in the community works together to automate them as much as is possible.

I wonder what it would take to convince people to fight for what is right.

Yes, the CEO needs more baby oil to keep the old gears turning.

That poor girl. May her community avenge her.

The article gives barely any details on her rapists. I find that deeply problematic.
