Lmao classic. Conservative offers shit meme or made up fact, public calls it out, idiot says “look how much they’re triggered.” Same energy here.

People hating it doesn’t make it go hard, that misses the entire point of the community.

I hate three things: stupid OP’s, political violence, and incompetent marksmen.

Ah, that’s a liberal problem so conservatives must care so much about their candidate’s past huh? So what you’re suggesting is they vote for Trump because he is a racist, rapist and fraud?

I bet you still shit in diapers since people are incapable of changing lmao

Weird, because Biden publicly and through action changed his views on those very same prison sentences.

But sure, let’s shine a flashlight and the least dangerous candidate and ignore the party actively trying to delete queerness

I think it’s a bit more cut and dry. This late in the game, nobody that’s going to vote doesn’t already know about Trump and all of his controversies. Whether or not they get the facts from the news they consume, they’ve already been confronted with the ugly truth in some way at some point.

If they are still “not aware” that he’s a rapist, a violence proliferator, a traitor, or a fucking idiot, it just proves they are WILLFULLY ignorant. Which is no excuse.

They don’t get a free pass just because they actively ignore facts. It’s safe to assume they support Trump over literally anyone else specifically because he has these evil qualities.

Or, we could accept that eating one billionaire would be more effective climate protection than talking to a 10 million “close relationships”.

We are not the problem. Billionaires and corporations are.

Ok, techbro lmao. Crypto using more fossil fuels in 2020 than AI will three years from now is a heck of a hill to die on.

So any other fiat currency not your own is not real?

No, any currency that is not widely accepted and is not able to be used to pay for necessities is not a real currency. Fiat currency is government issued. Crypto is in no way a fiat currency.

If you end up with “real” money, where’s the scam?

Let’s see… extreme volatility, lack of regulation, lack of consumer protection, the fact that many ICO’s have turned out to be scams really points to crypto being a scam. Not to mention that whatever profit you think you made in no way offsets the damage to the Earth from using more non-renewable energy than even AI (which is saying A LOT).

Got evidence to support that? Sure, you can also confirm with 30 seconds of Duck Duck Go.

Bitcoin- 173.42 terawatt-hours used in 2020-2021. It has increased since then.

UN Study: https://unu.edu/press-release/un-study-reveals-hidden-environmental-impacts-bitcoin-carbon-not-only-harmful-product

AI is estimated to ramp up to using 134 terawatt-hours by 2027. This means they use much less than that now, and are estimated to be below 2020’s bitcoin power consumption after ramping up for 3 more years.

Study, paywalled but with sources listed:

https://www.cell.com/joule/abstract/S2542-4351(23)00365-3?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2542435123003653%3Fshowall%3Dtrue

Bitcoin also uses over 60% non-renewable resources compared to AI which much more heavily leans into renewable in data centers. It’s not even a contest, crypto is extremely bad for the environment.

Oh, are you talking about the insanely high non-renewable energy used to mine coin and distribute, which is way beyond even AI?

Because I think it’s pretty evident that the coin halving heavily impacts our environment as it now takes twice as much energy to create the same value.

Actually giving a shit about the Earth 101 for ya.

Ah, making a mistake is spouting misinformation. I see you love hyperbole! I’ll be sure to tell my high school students when they get quiz question wrong their answers are misinformation because they didn’t study. See, I like hyperbole, too

[–] stonerboner@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

If I can’t buy groceries, pay rent or medical bills with it, it’s in not a real currency. If I can’t bail myself out with it, it’s not a real currency. But sure, somehow paying money to get faux money that can’t really practically pay for my needs, and then needs to be reconverted to real currency to take care of my needs is somehow not a scam.

Also, I’m sure you’re super cool with the insane non-renewable energy cost of bitcoin mining and distribution. It far outweighs the energy cost of AI that everyone is complaining about.
