"If we cannot stop literally all wastefulness in all processes throughout the world all at once, we cannot possibly tolerate mere criticism of (much less attempts to stop) one particular example of wastefulness. Also we can only ever focus on one thing at a time, therefore criticizing one thing must mean it's the most important thing and we must be completely ignoring everything else and dismissing it forever as irrelevant."

Crypto is a cult. Change my mind.


lolwut? "We're producing too much electricity so why not waste it on mining instead of, like, reducing power output and saving fuel and maintenance costs and reduce the total load on the grid?"

Power plants can (and do) adjust their production to adapt to current (and predicted) demand to save fuel whenever possible and reduce the strain on equipment and transmission lines. They don't just run "full throttle" 24/7 when they don't need to. Even nuclear reactors can throttle back when needed.

Besides, it sure doesn't seem like there's a "surplus" if they're literally running their own power plants to power their mining rigs.

I'm getting flashbacks to the halcyon days of /r/buttcoin from this conversation. What is it about crypto in particular that makes people switch off their brains like this?

You hate crypto because of some arbitrary and ill defined definition of worthwhile energy use, regurgitated from the fecal palp of whatever left wing intuition you let crawl down your fucking throat.

I hate crypto because I'm stuck on a GTX 760 until my sources manage to obtain a better card for me that hasn't been mined to pieces.

We are not the same.

Why would you share this with the internet? Doesn't this guy have friends to bitch about this? Also, why do I have the feeling his wife is banging someone else while he works and takes care of the kids?

I can't trust stories like this anymore. For one thing it sounds pretty fake. But even the "true" stories even up not matching reality. Too many times I've read these awful stories, only to later find out after some digging, the OP is a huge asshole and deserved whatever bad thing happened to them, or they're technically telling the truth but wildly exaggerating for pitty/karma points.

The real kicker is so many redditors eating this shit up.

this one in my opinion has way too many things stacked on top of each other that all seem to be constructed to send the exact same "wife bad" message

>loveless marriage with reluctant duty sex
>husband earns all the money, wife doesn't work
>husband does all the chores, wife wastes time on phone
>husband does all the childcare, wife is away all day for no good reason
>husband is sad and hurt, wife acts indifferent and contemptuous about it

feels like someone gathered all the common stereotypes of a bad wife and mashed them all together to craft the ultimate 'woe is me' sad husband sob story. the only thing that's missing is him catching her cheating.

It’s also missing him implying he could do much better than his ungrateful bitch wife and that she’s lucky to have him. The guys in these types of stories usually describe themselves as gym rats with six-figure jobs in IT and above average dicks. Outwardly desirable but not completely unrelatable to the reader.

I think the all-day PTA meeting is what convinced me this is fake. She's allegedly too lazy to do anything involving childcare or cleaning even though she's at home all day, yet she's willing to spend all day at something for her kid's school? The rest of the story sounds like a plot to a terrible sitcom episode with the male and female characters reversed. It's just too much bad behavior for one day.

I can believe it. No one said happy birthday to me this year. When i decided to stop feeling bad about it i used it to help me work out how i drifted away from people i love. Turns out the world is complex, busy, and being forgotten about isnt always because youre a piece of shit.

In his edit he says:

"Edit 2 — I said PTA type meeting because I didn’t want to dox myself. I’m familiar with what she’s doing and the large group she was with. There is a new school campus being built in said city and they have day long steering meetings (and get a nice cafe lunch with the other mums provided"

Not that I'm trying to give validity to his story but I can completely see a mom who doesn't generally do mom stuff getting involved in something like that for the look and especially if the new school is somehow minority or equity focused and especially there's wine at the end of the meeting or going out for wine.

The obsession around "birthdays" as soon as you have actual responsibilities is basically proof of still being a man child.

"I wanted a blowie and some birthday cake"

You are a full grown adult. Pick a restaurant you like. Make a reservation. Invite people to your birthday party. Pay for it, because you are an adult, and you chose the restaurant, and it is your birthday. Until you arrive at the restaurant, do your fucking job and responsibilities because the world keeps moving forward.

>Tee hee someone offered to show me their tits! Haha

Holy shit are the younger zoomers completely fucked. What are you even supposed to do when the entire generation that's supposed to carry on the work force is too busy "practicing self care" and pursuing philosophy and theater degrees?

 

[BobbyBriggs69420]

from my extensive online research, I've come to the conclusion that self-care means and is limited to pretty much only: couch, weed, alcohol, socials, netflix and porn.

I've never seen a use for "self care" that didn't mean "engaging in hedonism".

The professionalisation of leisure activities is fucking tragic.

A whole generation has been told that being unproductive is a moral failing, and that life consists of alternating between work and time where you perform maintance on yourself to work better.

My baseline position is one of doing whatever i want regardless of how productive it is, and everything outside of that i do only so i can maintain that baseline. I work so my productively when im not working is irrelevant.

It seems that people dont feel comfortable saying they spend time relaxing. Instead they schedule time for self care. Rather than spend time chilling with their friends, they 'reach out' and agree a suitable time to connect where they communicate mindfully, ensuring they set clear boundaries while remaining open to feedback.

The pandemic was a missed opportunity to build character from adversity. Instead it was those with the least character who were most protected.

Some of these are the totally not delusionl leftist enlightened centrist sht and some are delusional trannies.

Now for the dumb from two different threads on enlightened autism. Remember, Antifa is an idea and actually good guys because they do no harm. Also Reddit is a right wing shit hole and America is a fascist state under Joe. Also the Soviet Union was a fascist state, maybe, capitalism and fascism are the same thing and killed more people anyways even if the USSR was commie.

Here's some additional autism sperging about US political systems, including an autistic LARP where the progressivist grifters and Bernie led a coalition government and ditch neolibs.

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

This is what the left doesn't understand - calling your enemies "fascists" means nothing when "fascist" is just an insult and not an actual ideology. At the moment, "fascism" means nothing other than "something I disagree with".

Even a famous rapper made a song about it:

 

[Radola Gajda]

I am not going read all their walls of texts not this time of the year.
I suggest to Redditors to check Marx opinion of Africans , Latinx and rest of non Western European world. Same goes for most of Commie leaders.
And it was always matter of time until some kind of ethnic cleansing would happen in livespan of Commie regime .
And murder is still murder no matter what your ideological justification Is.

 

[Yeeted Teet]

I've never seen a use for "self care" that didn't mean "engaging in hedonism".

I think it started as a thing for people with real mental health issues that make them inclined to neglect the basic maintenance of their bodies and lives. Eating healthy food, going to the dentist, having a good sleep schedule, are things that certain people have trouble with and need to work on to make their lives better. But like body positivity for people with disabilities was overrun by fats, self care was taken over by people with self diagnosed anxiety or autism as an excuse to do whatever they felt like and now and it’s turned into “sit on your arse eating crisps all day because it feels good”.

>marxism is based in class conflict as the very driver of history
>somehow fascism always leads to conflict and murder
Projection much?
and yes, class is quite the immutable characteristic as well, a study in china found out that people whose ancestors were entrepreneurs pre-revolution had a statistically significant chance to be significantly richer.
Same goes for principles. They too are immutable, otherwise you're just a grifter.
