The American consumers worship of convenience/price above all else is precisely what got us here. Just like how everyone discusses how toxic twitter is........ On Twitter.

In regards to twitter - Of course it's where everyone is, nobody will leave.

In regards to Amazon - Of course everyone else is struggling, nobody will pay $3 more to buy it from them instead of Amazon.

I'm not saying there aren't times it does end up having to be amazon or that you can't be lazy and use amazon occasionally. I have prime myself and do use it on occasion (probably wouldn't if I didn't split it with my ex though.) I AM saying nothing will ever change so long as people REFUSE to even consider their habits for a second.

That makes alot of sense, but also makes me feel extra old. So do me a favor and GET OFF MY LAWN 🤣

Oh fuck off already, nobody cares.

Do we have an iamverysmart community? We could use one.

Yes

For a point of comparison, a ChatGPT request uses 2.9 watt-hours (and rising) to a google searches 0.3 (which per your example would only be run once assuming you're checking different blogs from the same list of results.)

At least with battle passes its all laid out and its more a case of putting the play time in.

You're quick to imply that this study is bullshit, yet offer no counter argument except "believing statistics is for losers lul"

So where are your sources to refute the article?

I'm in DC and NYC a lot, and the places I stay are almost always pretty quiet areas (cause I'm not staying in the hotbed touristy/party-y areas)

Even in cities, most people have average boring 9 to 5 jobs and need to sleep at night. When you get away from those particular areas (of course Times Square isnt indicative of the "norm," right?) its all pretty mundane actually.

Shouldn't have had a Hamas commander in his back pocket 🤷‍♂️

Although I do think its an exaggeration

"Almost every day?" Maybe, depending, but not always. Which is why I fell back on multiple times a week which is depressingly not an exaggeration.

You're awfully angry over a passing internet comment and are trying to argue an absolute because of it. Perhaps you're the stupid and hateful one here?

US here with bonus points for a conservative city in the bible belt. I see people literally just driving in circles around the block or up and down the street endlessly almost every day. Multiple times a week at least. Don't fucking tell me drivers only do so with purpose. eyeroll.gif
