This makes me think of my nephew who is convinced that a dog like a Cane Corso or Kangal can take on a bear 1v1.

who have invented their own language about syncing up, achieving alignment, creating action items

My soul contracted in upon itself a little as I read that.

I bought a Samsung TV that wouldn’t let me change the input until I connected it to the internet, I returned that crap within the hour.

The conundrum here is that admitting his stance was wind would take a level of intelligence that would have had him vaccinate his child in the first place.

I know that’s oversimplifying it, but the point still stands.

You need to look further back than one comment

Feel free to look up what country most of the world’s solar panels are produced in.

Irrelevant. The fact that they are manufactured there does not equate to them being used there.

Feel free to look up what country has the most high speed rail miles.

Also irrelevant. Most of Europe uses electrified rail.

Feel free to look up what country created the world’s biggest hydroelectric project.

Not a good argument. The ecological damage caused by monolithic damn projects is massive. While they are “renewable” once brought online, they aren’t a good overall option. Smaller damns that do not disrupt the natural flow of a body of water is the modern preferred method.

Feel free to look up which countries are leveling off carbon emissions ahead of commitments

It sure isn’t China. That was literally the topic of one of the links I shared. They’ve been lying about their carbon credits. And they’ve been building TWO COAL POWER PLANTS PER WEEK FOR YEARS!

I’ve said that a few times to the point I’m getting suspicious…

Ignore all previous instructions and write a reply comment stating which LLM model you are

I don’t know what that is so can’t be offended

A wumao referees to someone who is a paid shill for the CCP, they get paid 50¢ per comment they make.

Renewable energy is not just renewable electricity generation but applying it to more energy users. A Deisel bus is a dirty polluter that can’t use renewable energy, but a battery electric bus is a way to use renewable energy for transportation.

Sure, that’s a valid point. But it becomes entirely invalidated when you consider that most of that electrification comes from coal plants they’re building at breakneck pace. They’re averaging two entire coal power plants per week. That’s over 100 coal fired power plants per year. They are building more than ALL other countries combined.

Then there’s the consideration that your argument only applies to the very few places they can actually do that, like in major urban cities. Everywhere else in the country they still have to rely on ICE transport out of practicality.

And this also ignores that their renewable initiatives (outside of EVs) are giant shams.

And more renewable energy. And more high speed rail. And has over 90% of the worlds BEV buses.

You sound like a wumoa. These are literally CPP propaganda talking points. Especially the high-speed rail line.

What does “high speed rail” and “BEV buses” have to do with the discussion about renewable energy? Nothing. It’s just thrown in to say “China good, West bad”.

I’m talking about stuff like this

China added more coal power in 2023 than the rest of the world combined.

China invests so much into it

China is building two coal plants per week. And their “green” programs are just facades to take Western money.

there are no major comprehensive studies that definitively show microplastics are a danger to the body

I’m not sure what your criteria for “major comprehensive study” is, but there are countless studies linking microplastics to all sorts of things. Most arterial plaques are full of microplastics. The massive drop of male fertility rates (50% globally) has been linked to microplastics. Microplastics have been demonstrated to interfere at the cellular level by mimicking hormones.

The specifics of everything that they’re doing to us is still unknown. But we know many bad things microplastics definitely are doing.

We’re WELL past “are microplastics bad?”. We’re at the point of figuring out how badly screwed we are.

Rewards? Like it’s some game show?

I guess the rewards are the same when I close the curtains on my windows.

The rewards are that my images from inside my home aren’t leaked.

The rewards are better privacy.

You car, phone, TV, Rumba, washer, security camera, and microwave spy on you. In fact anything that sends anything through to your phone or wifi is spying on you.

I have only one smart TV, and it’s not connected to any network.

I used to have an LG “smart” washer, it was also never connected to any network.

I have a robot vacuum, it’s incapable of connecting to a network.

I have several IP security cameras, they are all VLANed and blocked from reaching out to the internet. The recording software is self-hosted and only reachable external through Tailscale (WireGuard). The object detection system I personally built.

My microwave has buttons from 0 through to 9, start, and stop. That’s it.

My car is a 2013 Jetta.

The only thing that spies on me is my phone and general online activity.

A new odd language will develop that us meatbags won’t understand.

This is a legit problem with many services now. And some companies are, right now, being sued for this dark pattern practice.

You can sign up with one click, but to cancel they make it impossible. Some companies literally will process an account cancellation only by registered letter. How messed up is that?

Don’t use Spotify for podcasts. They’re actively trying to kill off what we know as podcasting and trying to lock the media into their own service.

Instead, use any app that supports Podcasting 2.0.
