    Remember that feelings of compassion should be contingent on the question: “Who do you vote for?”

      I doubt who you voted for would have stopped this. AI is the new .com / housing bubble that every big company has to jump on board for.

        On a federal basis, you are likely correct. On a local basis, I highly disagree. Many politicians in areas that are left-leaning are putting in place data center bans. Local elections matter.

      Do you deprive these people of your compassion because you think they are evil? Because I sincerely don’t believe in evil. I believe in stupidity, folly, shortsightedness… and the people affected by them do have my compassion and my empathy.

      Also, given what you said I’d bet you voted for a billionaire-friendly, genocide supporter, fucking cop. So you, in that case, too have my compassion and empathy.

        You don’t believe in evil even though you shared a planet with Epstein? That my friend is folly and I highly recommend you set a new definition of evil for yourself with his and his co-conspirators’ names.

          Well, I believe in sickness too. And, yes, I also feel pity for Epstein and company, look at them, do you think those are happy people?

          Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t no saint and this isn’t any of that ‘other cheek’ crap. I do hate to live in a world full of sick, dumb, fool, shortsighted people, but in a more ‘hate the game and not the player’ way, specially since playing it is not really a choice.

          To solve this issues, or any problem really, it’s needed some understanding. I’m not very good with people or with social matters, nor do I like them much, but I think the attitude on your comment of ‘I’m glad this bad thing is happening because it’s hurting the other people more’ isn’t helping.

            I admire your faith in humanity, but its not something we have in common.

            There are 8 billion people on this planet. Pedophiles are disposable and should be handled accordingly. Nothing of value would be lost.
