That ip address is traceable to you by way of the entity that runs a wire to your house or provisions the sim to your phone so you can send those packets.
No, this is wrong. There are, probably more often than not, multiple people using the same source IP address, from the point of view of the website.
I've read some theorize the fall of the roman empire might have been connected to pollution...
I'd not be surprised in in the future we find Trump voters had the most brain damage from modern pollution.
Don't rural folks, who live in far cleaner and greener areas, typically overwhelming vote conservative?
And it's the pollution-heavy urban areas that typically overwhelmingly vote liberal?
And I'll bloody well keep voting for fascists as long as they're running against leftards!
Even when their motivation to suddenly redraw electoral maps is to distract from shielding high-ranking sex-traffickers from justice? Okay, Groomer.
But the general positive trend over time is substantial and impossible to ignore.
I'm not. I'm saying it's being sabotaged. You've acknowledged that, too, so it's not like we're in disagreement. Am I supposed to appreciate what hasn't been damaged/destroyed, or should I be advocating against doing that damage?
We need to be thankful for the work that prior generations did that are truly amazing and have improved our lives immensely.
Have you been paying attention to the news this year?
xAI is the only one opening admitting it happens and trying to resolve it.
Heh. Admitting.
1. Make normal, well functioning LLM
2. It says a bunch of liberal stuff
3. "Fix" it so it says conservative stuff
4. It starts spewing antisemitism and rape threats
5. Loop back to 1
Not really sure why this was -1, it's a pretty good play-by-play of what happened. Was it a day out of date, perhaps? Maybe they should have added an extra step: "...announce AI girlfriends to distract the news cycle from MechaHitler...."
according to the Dramacrats Musk was in his back pocket...
guess he wasn't, as everyone with a brain, knew.
Um, kay, you have a brain. Please continue to surpass us with your super-human Elon-assessing powers.
It will definitely attract protesters, just like every other energy source.
My FB feed is full of anti-solar, pro-petroleum memes. "Wind Turbines use oil, that somehow means they're worse than gas-cars!", "Solar panels give babies cancer!", "Mining vehicles destroy entire mountains to produce a sugar-cube's worth of rare earths!"...that sort of thing. A lot of the memes are fairly obvious trolls, but lots of dum dums fall for them anyway. I wouldn't go as far as to say these are protestors like you're thinking of, but are there those that oppose anything? Yep, just like you said. I'm pretty certain this is the sort of thing that has affected how people vote.
My favorite troll-meme on this topic features an EV on the side of the road being recharged by a gas-powered generator. Sure enough people come along, pointing and laughing at the EV needing gas to proceed. Then the trolls come out asking those peeps if their car is diesel, like the generator. Heh. I'm not saying it's never happened, but I personally haven't seen anybody go "yes, my car is diesel" yet. Again, this is FB, not the best-of-the-best at attracting reasoned debate.
Utterly false.
You know what, I'll grant you that. I was thinking "post" and not "assertion", but that's not what I wrote so you can have that. Note that the sky didn't fall on me when I admitted to being wrong and that I didn't need to blame you or Biden for it.
I'll correct my remark: "You made an assertion about Biden causing 'real damage' and used a claim from Alberta to support it. Yadda yadda yadda.
You made an assertion about "the 51st state" and used a claim from Alberta to support it. That claim fell apart under scrutiny. Your assertion is still unsupported. If anybody should be calling Alberta for help, it's YOU. Heh.
Claim being the operative word. There are claims that dispute it. You got nothin.
No, your original point needed to show significant damage. That's why you got yourself in trouble with throwing out unsubstantiatable numbers.
Nope. I don't care to indulge your goal post move.
Good because the challenge was for you to support your claim. Still waiting for that.
