A mere handful of mostly American men are costing the rest of the World an absolute fortune. At what point do we say "OK, that's enough of your shit. Put your planet and humanity-destroying toys away, and piss off... Or else."

Most data centers refusing to say how much water, electricity they use
The vast majority of data centers in Europe keep information about their environmental impact secret, according to a study by Lighthouse Report in collaboration with Trouw and other European media. In the Netherlands, less than a quarter of larger data centers publish data about their electricity and drinking water usage.The researchers spent a year trying to obtain data on data centers’ environmental impact in Europe, invoking freedom of information laws in various European countries. Their attempts have yielded no results.

One of the many reasons I'd like to be closer to the EU is so we might not have to suffer radio ads with clearly British voice actors putting on the worst European accents I've ever heard. So cringe.

The conspiracy nutjobs on the other place are going doolally over the bail decision. It is a bit odd though. Especially when you consider how others have been treated by the law, and incarcerated, for alleged offences. eg: Palestine Action. Were there bombs in the vans or not? #psyop

I also think society struggles to understand the importance of many news articles, since they got so intermingled with 'magazine-style' gossip posts, vying for clicks.

Relevant, sure. But it's more important to be factually correct and politically unbiased. Since that is the actual issue that should be the headlines these days. Too many people underestimate the huge influential (and subliminal) power that news headlines have on us. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In the coverage, you can hear that very specific non-informational tone and pace in the voices of reporters with absolutely nothing to add to the story. I've lost count how many times they've use the words "incident" and "major".

It's so weird seeing people argue over whether or not AI will take over and destroy humanity. Open your eyes, folks: It already started. Quite some time ago. As is often the case with this sort of thing. The foundations are laid in plain sight while nobody notices.

Suddenly, after getting your first job, you find out that you have give away a load of your pay packet to the Government etc. - I was like "What?!! - This is my money. That I earned!" I felt like I'd been robbed. Initially, it was very demotivating. And Thatcher wasn't helping!

I like the idea of vocational education and training for young people. I wish we had something like that when I was at school. We went all the way through school and further education without 'real life' knowledge. But the main info everyone was lacking was "Tax/NI" and basic money management.
