It's a shitposting meme. The poster has this pinned on their twitter:

That said... I have heard horror stories about poor theater staff finding cucumbers after the 50 shades premiere. Some of it was just people memeing and trying to prank but I'm not entirely sure about all of it.

Unless it's a YouTuber. Then they're possibly pronouncing it wrong so people will comment about their pronunciation and fuel the algorithm.

And a bit of malware with it. I specifically remember one of those Runescape cursors had a search bar download with it and it was not secure. 10 year old me didn't care though.

Even if AI was absolutely impeccable it will always feel better to use products that involve real human beings.

People aren’t going to like the reality that we need BOTH people to change their habits AND we need companies to follow suite.

Jon Stewart said it best.

"The work of making this world resemble one that you would prefer to live in is a lunch pail **** job, day in and day out, where thousands of committed, anonymous, smart, and dedicated people bang on closed doors and pick up those that are fallen and grind away on issues till they get a positive result. And even then, have to stay on to make sure that result holds."

It's like a lot of things in life. It depends and it can be complicated.

Upfront costs for infrastructure besides the panels themselves is expensive and in places where electricity is already cheap companies won't bother.

You also have to conduct tests to ensure that the grid and transformers can handle more power, and if they can't then you have more infrastructure that needs upgrades.

I'm not saying we shouldn't do this. We really need to in the long run but it isn't something we can simply snap our fingers and do instantly.

Also, a lot of the unprofitability comes from VC culture in my opinion. The individuals at the top of businesses often times won't stick around with the business long enough to start see the savings from solar energy.

I'd be worried if he wasn't getting backlash. Actually, I'm still worried because there clearly isn't enough backlash.

We all know what he's insinuating.

Not entirely sure that matters here.

I really don't think there's that many people towards the middle or left of the political spectrum that are going to be upset about this if he gets the changes through.

Besides, any changes that might bother voters will still have an effect on Kamala's campaign until the elections over in November.

I'm not complaining but I'm genuinely wondering if the dnc has been holding this woman back. I feel like I haven't seen this fire coming from her before and I'm loving it.

Couldn't agree more and his words on the matter were really touching.

I just hope the party as a whole can keep this up. I have never felt like the party cared more about being in touch with the people than it does now.

People are like that sometimes.

Unless you want to take the conservative approach of attempting to eliminate anyone who stands against you, then you unfortunately have to learn to understand and work with these people. We do not exist on our own. We exist with many, many other people who have different views than our own, who react and think differently than we do.

Part of life is learning how to work with these people, how to get them to do what needs to be done. You can sit there and scream at them for being stupid or you can figure out how to get them to do what you want.
