Hear me out...

How do we know it wasn't a peaceful person leaving a hand written note begging for no more datacentres, when their nemesis, Dr Datacentre, drove past and started shooting at him?

We're at the last one because they've removed all the others.

That's literally not true. The current administration is in power because 86 million eligible people didn't bother to vote.

If "Did Not Vote" had been a candidate:

Wait, did the shooter walk up to the house, politely place the note under the mat, then start blasting?

Or did they light the place up before dropping off the note?

Its almost like fucking over all of us with rolling blackouts , skyrocketing power bills, sucking up water, and creating heat islands would upset us. Oh and further enriching billionaires with stolen land. Wow. Weird.

The Free Market in action. If you keep behaving in conflict with the people, eventually the people are going to stop it. Ask that health care CEO. This was a threat this time. It won't be a threat next time.

This guy is a politician, and a constituent is telling him the position he should take. He should do his job, and listen to his constituent.

The old delivery method for these kinds of ominous threatening notes was tied to a rock. This is new.

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Isn't a bullet basically a very fast little rock if you think about it?

I believe the classical interpretation is to nail your 95 complaints to the door with a dagger.

Eco-terrorists do your thing. No one else will stop this stupid forward momentum on AI as it needs to suck in huge resources just so some dipshit can request porn comics.

No one leaves notes, it's not the 60's anymore. This looks like a inside job or a setup to paint anti data center people as violent people.

The reality is if you are FOR data centers, you are the problem and need to do more research. No one should be for any data centers to be built in this country, I wouldn't want to live near one. I also hate paying the electric bill for billionaires, they need to pony up all the money, they have plenty!

A thing I was wondering why haven't have happened already have happened.

Now I wonder when a terminal cancer patient will use their last strength to drive a fuel truck into a datacenter.

This honestly sounds like some half assed right wing flase flag shit. Paint everyone against datacenters as crazy and violent.

[–] droans@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm from Indy - no one is buying the story. The councilor is a complete tool who's hated by his own constituents and will be voted out. He's been caught multiple times making up shit like this just for attention.

Just a thought - if someone was this passionate against new AI data centers, why would they get an anti-data center flyer, put it in a plastic bag, leave it under his doormat, and then shoot up his door? If they're going to this much trouble, they want to stop the data centers. But they'd be relying on the councilor looking under his doormat and that his opinions wouldn't be hardened by this. Why wouldn't they try to kill the councilor, too? Why wouldn't they at least leave behind an actual threat?

What's much more likely is he either did this for attention or it was a drive-by shooting and he either put the flyer there himself or it just happened to already be on his porch.

It's nice they set the note on the ground, under their mat. Instead of on a rock, through their window.
