  1. These white Nationalist Christians (Nat-C for short) can't accept that the US is NOT a Christian nation.
  2. I had to do a doubletake on that as well. I'm surprised ANYWHERE in the US would be on this list. Oregon coast is a nice place for curing insomnia, but Philadelphia?!?
  3. If you use something cuz it was posted on X then you ARE seriously delusional. Orange Kool aid and Cheato's [sic] cuz those lips MUST be orange.
  4. My first thumbs down since the update. TOOK you guys long enough! 😆 😆 😆
  5. Then ask for your money back. Oh, wait . . .
  6. Can you add a "heavy sigh" emoji for posts like the one just above mine?
  7. Read my second sentence again for elucidation. That poor excuse for a president takes his marching orders from Putin. Always has, and to deny it is delusional.
  8. To think this has nothing to do with Putin is delusional. Putin is using 47 as the useful idiot he is, and 47 is going to make as much money money as he can from the deaths of too many people, both Ukrainian and Russian.
  9. Wasn't there already an "ironclad" security agreement in place for the concession of the Ukraine agreeing to surrender it's nuclear arsenal? No mention of whether or not Ukraine has to give up any land. Not passing the smell test.
  10. Occasionally I wonder if those few propagandists here are just stupid or is Russia paying them?
  11. What I can't understand is how 47 and Putin can be the only ones who are right and the rest of the world is wrong.
  12. I'd remind people that the US PROMISED to protect Ukraine in exchange for giving up their nuclear arsenal except no one cares about the "word" given by the government.
  13. It would be funny if so many people weren't dying.
  14. Instantly makes me think of "A Clockwork Orange."
  15. Quote from Pearl S. Buck's "The Good Earth" "When the rich are too rich there is a way, and if I am not mistaken, that way will come soon"
  16. Not to mention the ENORMOUS amount of water used. By AI's own admission: AI's annual water usage is massive and growing, with 2025 estimates suggesting consumption could range from hundreds of billions to over a trillion liters (or gallons) globally, equivalent to the water used for millions of U.S. households or even surpassing the world's bottled water industry, primarily for cooling data centers that power AI models like ChatGPT. Specific data varies, but projections show usage rising dramatically, potentially doubling or quadrupling by 2028, raising major sustainability concerns. Key Figures & Projections: Current Estimates (2025): 312.5 to 764.6 billion liters annually (comparable to bottled water) or 193-297 billion gallons (731-1125 million cubic meters). Future Projections (by 2027-2030): Could reach 1.1 to 1.7 trillion gallons (4.2-6.6 billion cubic meters) annually. Per Query: A single query to models like GPT-4o might use 2.3 to 3.5 milliliters, while Google's Gemini might use 0.26 milliliters, showing huge variation based on efficiency. Data Centers: Large centers use millions of liters daily (e.g., 200 million liters/day), with some potentially consuming as much as a town of 10,000-50,000 people. Why It Matters: Cooling Needs: Servers generate immense heat, requiring extensive water for cooling systems (evaporative cooling towers). Indirect Use: A significant portion (up to 4x more) comes from electricity generation for data centers, often in water-stressed regions. Sustainability Crisis: This demand strains freshwater resources, threatening agricultural and drinking supplies in drought-prone areas. The Bottom Line: While exact figures are hard to pin down due to opaque reporting, AI's water footprint is substantial and growing rapidly, making sustainable solutions like efficient cooling and better location choices crucial.
  17. I wouldn't waste too many tears on Lewie's posts. I don't believe a word of any of them, though I find them entertaining and appreciate the effort.
  18. So you know, that was me who just gave you a "thank you." I really feel is was a mistake to hide who did what.
  19. Here's a link. I got my copy from ThePirateBay.org https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSl9-7sDTl0/
  20. This ENTIRE THREAD was BASED ON THIS VIDEO. Go support your fascist rants on another topic, lord knows there are plenty of them on AN. Watch the video and comment on its details or stop blathering.
  21. Don't kid yourself. US is sending PLENTY of our tax dollars to CECOT to finance this torture. They take their orders from the current administration via Noem.
