Survey: Californians really don’t want more data centers

Reply in thread

I just found out they are building three data centers in the county south to me. I only found out because the road I prefer to take to my dispensary has been closed for like a month. There should be a state wide referendum or approval needed for that sort of thing, not just the county or city, they will effect everyone for a huge radius around them, not to mention it's not just THEIR water to give away to these companies, it's all OUR water. These companies have shown us zero reason we should trust them with a resource so great as that it's appalling

Why does free college work in Denmark but will fail if implemented in America?

Lifestyles of the rich and famous, Cribs, celebrity worship, all that junk is to blame too

How do I accept that everybody is lying or trying to lie to me?

It's just part of life? I've gone through this a few times in my head now.

We can't be totally honest about the products of the company we work for, if we did we would probably be fired. There are dozens of such scenarios in each day where we have to omit something or not be totally honest when you are dealing with business because business requires that you be dishonest, or rather, not yourself, a representative of the company
