"Data centers are inherently an important part of our society, and they're going to become even more necessary going forward,"

God, fuck this shit

Right?

Like, says who and on what historical basis? People said similar shit about crypto and we all know how that turned out.

It's the secret government weather weapon they were talking about! It is real!

It's funny how the last decade or so we were always told to save water and ditch the car, you know, be as environmentally friendly as possible only for big companies to come along and basically do the opposite; again and again.

The world is going to shit and everyone knows it, but money talks I guess... I can't fucking take it anymore.

These people that make these decisions have names and addresses.

Every state has a website like this one: https://sos.oregon.gov/business/Pages/find.aspx

And for the low low price of free, you will know their business address, their mailing address, and the personal address of the most important people in any company you look up.

I do not support doxxing of residents and civilians, but lets be real here. Wealthy corps and wealthy people are in charge. People.

Who the fuck builds a data center in Phoenix?! Was the surface of the sun not available?

[–] Eric@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They don't give a fuck about us. Phoenix likely gave tax breaks, energy deals etc

They raised the surrounding temperature in fucking Phoenix Arizona? A place already so hot that it can kill you within hours. we’re so fucked.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good thing climate change isn't real or we'd be in BIG trouble!

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah… that would be bad…

The republicans are also gutting our national parks and selling them off.

Big cuts and sweeping changes have destabilized the National Park Service and its core missions.

National parks facing ‘nightmare’ under Trump, warns ex-director of service

Jonathan Jarvis claimed the agency is now in the hands of a “bunch of ideologues” who would have no issue watching it “go down in flames” – and see parks from Yellowstone to Yosemite as potential “cash cows”, ripe for privatization.

This is such an affront to the nation, its history, and its people, it is shocking that there isn't more outrage about this. But then again there's not nearly enough outrage to go around to cover all the constant bullshit.

The republic is being DDOSed with bullshit. It's a fucking smash and grab and the looters are just running wild at the moment, before our eyes.

No one in Phoenix will notice. If you've stuck around in Phoenix this long you've managed to stop caring about temperatures not fit for human life

Bobby: A hundred and eleven degrees? Phoenix can't really be that hot, can it?

The family exits the car

Bobby: Oh my God! It's like standing on the sun!

Peggy: This city should not exist. It is a monument to man's arrogance!

EDIT: (For non-Americans, 111°F is about 44°C.)
