sure they do, why do you think they’re buying lithium mines? they love mining resources because it encourages the “infinite growth” feedback loop to keep going

couldn’t be more wrong, also we have this thing called insulation and water tanks. we already use water loop radiators here, there’s nothing stopping us from preheating the water to last us through the night. also, wear more layers instead of being a wussy

The CO2 is in a CLOSED LOOP system meaning its not going to be leaching into the atmosphere.

yeah, sure thing buddy. the CO2 will be in a closed loop until it won’t. just like Fukushima and Chernobyl were supposed to be closed loop systems, until they weren’t. disasters happen, no matter how much the techbro mindset insists that they’re impossible.

The CO2 is likely harvested directly from the atmosphere

LMAO, the audacity of telling me I don’t know how electricity generation works when you don’t even know how to read. they’re using industrial CO2 derived from fossil fuels

subsidize energy storage solutions that aren’t as economically profitable as fossil fuels. like thermal batteries, pumped hydro, etc.

most people don’t need that much energy during the night, so that is a red herring from the energy companies. the reason why we need this much storage in the first place is because of the infinite growth mindset instead of making industrialists pay for their own shit when they’re consuming energy in a race to the bottom. if we banned all the slop products from being made, energy demand would go down exponentially.

in a worst case scenario, we could 100% only rely on renewables and deal with the fact that we’ll have power outages during sleeping hours. that pill would be much easier to swallow if everyone is sharing the same burden, like during the lockdowns. and for the disabled people that need electricity to stay alive, give them refurbished EV batteries for free, there’s already more of them on the market than we could use in a lifetime. same thing for hospitals and essential institutions

As per Energy Dome:

But the gas wasn’t captured from factory emissions, nor was it pulled from the air. It came from a gas supplier, and it lives permanently inside the dome’s system to serve an eco-friendly purpose

these people are straight-up lying, how can CO2 be “eco-friendly” when all its industrial extraction processes involve fossil fuels as a source? notice how they didn’t mention who their gas supplier is? that’s because it would out them and their lies.

it’s impossible to buy gas turbines without ultimately funding the fossil fuel giants. also let’s not ignore the environmental catastrophe that would happen if these were deployed en masse and a corruption scandal like the Beirut port explosion happened.

it’s also not lost on me that this technology is being deployed in poor, economically exploited areas like Sardinia and Xinjiang. there’s a reason why they’re not building bubbles in the middle of Rome or Beijing, because the people would revolt at this eyesore of a ticking time bomb. nobody would give a fuck if thousands of Uyhurs died in a mass asphyxiation event because people are already ignoring the genocide they’re going through.

it’s concerning whenever Google gets excited about a new energy solution because we all know how they treat the environment around their data centers. if deployed, they’d use the hot breath bubbles to excuse their seemingly infinite energy consumption increase in order to keep the AI bubble from popping. this is carbon credits all over again, they’ll use the CO2 to deploy more methane gas turbines because these would “cancel them out”.

edit: removed inaccurate claim about Energy Dome in Xinjiang, added context

more greenwashing from the fossil fuels industry

if a cis person goes on cross-sex hormones, they will develop gender dysphoria because their sex doesn’t match their gender identity anymore. that’s where the feel part comes in

the industrial revolution and its consequences. also the enlightenment, fuck those guys

that sex is binary or immutable. for anyone that believes this, get on HRT for a year and tell me if you still feel like your sex is identical to what you started out with

you could just change your name again. before birth certificates and all that bs existed you could just go by a new name in every single town you visited

grocery stores use wireless price tags now that are synchronized to their price database. automated price gouging in-store

wrong, Europe still has executions because there are armed police killing drowning refugees in the Mediterranean or cops shooting Roma people

she has market research companies doing that for her, she’s a billionaire

JK Rowling has openly said that she also sees piracy as an endorsement of her fascist views. She looks at the download numbers and thinks to herself “trans women have finally lost”

the staff serving jail time would make no sense as they’re not the ones in charge of marketing decisions. the CEO, and the managers? sure

you can’t be sexist against men since y’all invented sexism to oppress women and trans people. try again

Being born a man is a circumstance, and if you judge someone for it it’s prejudice.

Being born a mansplainer who’s never read a feminist book is also a circumstance, one that you forced yourself into.

if y’all hate being men so much, that’s also not a circumstance. your sex is mutable, and I’m telling you this as a trans woman

nobody said anything about circumstances. this is about men not doing shit about the patriarchy while at the same time painting themselves as the victims of it

#notallmen. spare us the crocodile tears

degrees have bsen meaningless for a while if we’re talking finding employment, LLMs just make it worse
