I hear this all the time from TDS-afflicted leftists, but they never explain their specific reasoning.

This is a wise decision. Data centers are expensive, and Microsoft would be better served just moving their stuff to the cloud. Oh, wait...

I thought it was the coolest thing ever. A calculator that I could wear on my wrist!

The better question to ask is: How many claims of 2020 election voter fraud were actually adjudicated where discovery could take place? The answer is zero. Because it was the mostest bestest securest election ever and no investigation was needed, plebe.

Are you the guy that was wearing a tinfoil hat with a sticker that said, "Orange Man Bad!" on it?

Even if these data centers are increasing the use of fossil fuels, so what?

Actually it'll be the other way around: white guy pays more than the black guy. See: Microsoft.

So a climate scientist who has been studying climate his entire life suddenly has no valuable opinion solely because he's retired?

I guess you missed the part where Peterson is *interviewing* a Harvard-educated climate scientist. Are you saying that a scientist isn't a scientist if they're being interviewed by a conservative who happens to hold a PhD?

Uh, yes, it has. See the Twitter Files.

Funny how Section 230 wasn't a problem with Democrats until Musk bought Twitter. Funny how they staunchly defended Twitter, Facebook, etc. until Musk bought Twitter. Now Twitter/X is "a threat to democracy" simply for allowing people to speak more freely without being censored, and Section 230 needs overhauling. Funny how that all works, isn't it?

Why do we even care? Do we go through this much effort for the common cold?

Tell me, Mr. Climate Alarmist, how many times throughout the Earth's history has the Pacific Northwest experienced these kinds of temperatures? It's okay, I'll wait...

Tell me, oh wise one. Have such temperatures in this area occurred in the distant past? Or even within the last 1000 years?

...if we had a reusable launch vehicle--a space-plane perhaps--that could shuttle parts and astronauts to and from the telescope safely, thereby letting them do repairs? An extraordinary idea, mind you, but I don't think it's terribly farfetched.
