Corporations and cooperation are not the same thing.

A corporation is a distinct legal entity. I am not speaking ill of organizing into a group, co-op or company, though private business can often be awful as well.

Fuck corporations. Why do we allow every aspect of our society and culture to be a market for profit and exploitation?

He’s 14. He’s about as innocent as every other child. While he should certainly be educated and corrected, allowing a child to fall into that shit is the fault of their guardian.

Do you remember all the stupid shit you thought and believed at 14?

The ultra wealthy is everyone. Not ultra wealthy? Not a person, opinions don’t matter. Might as well be a gnat.

Richest state in the richest country in the world and Californians are still convinced their problems are poor and brown people and not the people actually holding all the fucking wealth?

Not surprising. Still Americans.

You say this, but the people yelling and screaming are typically the ones that are pushing for progress, while the people that hide behind “decorum” are the ones trying to strip people of their rights and funnel money into capital.

Also, human beings are animals…

Man, if only Harris had done something to win the anti-genocide vote. like, Iunno? Campaign against genocide? Promise to stop America’s funding? Write a strongly worded public letter about it?

More that it isn’t relevant to this discussion because in the hypothetical you’re still spending the same amount, just on electricity instead of the game cost.

And yes, because labor rights are a joke in this country. I’ve got bills to pay and mouths to feed.

Passing the “carbon credit” on to my employment is kinda outside of my hands, since that is dictated by my employer, which few are lucky enough to have a meaningful decision in. People also don’t work an extra amount that somehow corresponds to “waste money” but budget out the amount they earn.

As an idea, using crypto to offset the API costs to crypto and thus to electricity usage is wild because I’m still paying the same dollar amount, just in electricity that I have then wasted, and not directly on the game without all the middle man BS. So instead of paying for API + profit, I’m paying for electricity, which is then wasted generating crypto to pay for a game I could just pay for directly without the excess energy waste.
