  • Knowing and understanding are not equal, just as instruction and guidance aren't. Processing knowledge helps to bring understanding my friend. I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm saying not everyone does it like you, and that's ok

    Maybe you process faster; maybe you're skimming the details to save personal harm. Maybe the way you do things isn't a hard truth, but samely, doesn't make your recommendations invalid. I just would personally change my wording from a place of "don't do it", to a place of "I wouldn't, but that's me". Otherwise you risk depriving the wisdom of life from others, due to your own personal fears

  • Who would? But it's real and in our face. Learning how to process is healthy, avoidance is not

  • I wouldn't push your own idea of personal trauma onto others. Probs not healthy for anyone

  • Interesting take on personal trauma. What's "good", "bad", or even "neutral" for mental health is very individualistic. A warning is warranted, but I'd be wary of telling people it's "not good" to watch it. Maybe not for you, but you are you're own person

    Plenty of adults here who can make that call themselves (proper warning is always welcomed/needed)

    Personally, I don't choose the route of burying my head in the sand so I can savor blissful ignorance. I watch people die regularly IRL and am comfortable with the notion... but what's wrong is wrong and sometimes people need to understand the reality. If they ain't up to it, than a proper NSFL warning is good enough to warn them

    People ain't all children, and I respect what you're trying to say... but if I got executed like that man; I'd want everyone (who was able) to see it for themselves. Especially in an age where false narratives and soft details are the norm

    I prefer to see the horror with my own eyes and make my own judgements. I've accidentally seen far too much as is, and it only gave me strength after healing

    A warning's good enough, no need to patronize

  • Probably could've fit a little better in a different community, but yeah... it's where we landed for now

    I thought it at least looked symmetrically, something or another

  • Then don't focus on the pollution, but the fresh water reserves being depleted. Ya got sound thoughts, to me; I wouldn't try to complicate it (if I could help it)

    Lay people lie where under scrutiny. Meet them somewheres in the middle, if you're so determined. We're uninformed, not incapable

  • You make a point; data centers are indeed boiling away fresh water reserves. But you're also asking what the direct source of pollution is, in order to more effectively argue against the data centers

    Because these data centers require energy and cooling, while also working with "razor-thin margins" of AI competition... they are reinvigorating coal and fossil fuels, through use of an existent infrastructure

    But also, nobody asked for them to dump billions into this... though dumping the same amount of effort and capital into renewable energy (as well as curbing climate disaster), isn't apparently as readily profitable

    It's hard to directly blame "increased pollution" on data centers, because that would be silly to allow such linear blame to be seen, in all the grift. And could also decrease overall profitability if the general public made the connection

    The pollution comes from their use of existing infrastructure, while doubly, they could be building renewable infrastructure. It's just not profitable in such a corporate world to do anything but scrape the remnants of a dying world

    Edit: Don't forget to recycle!
