Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

On one hand, yes let's get annoyed at companies for using alot of energy. On the other hand, we have known our energy needs will be exponential for decades yet we haven't tackled the issue. We still burn fossil fuels, despite having the ability to not do that.
Being angry at companies for building a new technology yet not being angry at the government and NIMBY fuckwads is a little... Backwards imo.
this is literally the same whataboutery the crypto guys tried. go away.
holy shit we didn’t even have to dig to find out you’re garbage
thank you for making this the easiest ban ever
and to think I refrained from blocking on the first whatabout comment, a rookie error
It's funny because both of you misunderstood my comment in order to reaffirm yourselfs. I don't give a shit about trans people, they have as much right to exist as anyone else, I was talking about the right wings nonsense.
yeah don’t come back on an alt you fucking moron
that much is clear, you use trans folks like a fucking cudgel to make a shitty point. but I also don’t believe this:
given you seem to be a bitcoin right-libertarian at best. it’s time for you to fuck off, again
I can't see the posts since they were removed, so this is amazing. I have no idea how he went from crypto-scented energy whataboutism to transphobia in three comments flat.
Also two bans in three comments is some quality speedrunning, awful-systems any%.
you can view them on home timeline if you really want to, but probably you'll regret it
I don't even know what that means, fortunately I guess.
presenting a DM from someone who absolutely doesn’t have internalized transphobia, never heard of it:
when a libertarian-presenting shithead with not particularly deep political takes posts “it’s a distraction just like the bullshit about trans people” with no other qualifiers, it’s absolutely understood as a dogwhistle for “people need to shut up about trans issues”
and if I’m wrong about that? using trans folks to make your bullshit points is still fucking transphobia. don’t do this shit. it’s fucking concerning you can’t understand that.
e: also, and this is important: the republicans are planning a fucking genocide of trans folks and you’re calling it a distraction. what the fuck is wrong with you.
the fuck? they thought a pestering third-avenue dm would have resulted in a different action?
absolutely fucking perfect, 300/10, no notes
what the utter belligerent fuck
I can’t tell whether their intended point with that last one was “I said all the dogwhistles and none of you agreed instantly!”, or a genuine intent at stating that there was a perceived shallowness in our communal reading comprehension
and either case just makes no goddamn sense whatsoever, what the fuck
