You guys, I think it was a Nazi salute.

Everyone does. Some people just can't be honest with themselves.
I think it can be a Nazi salute and a Roman salute and an autistic thing all at once!

I don't understand why so many people think the survival of the species is important. Especially Christian people, but just in general, I don't really care what people are doing 100 years from now.

I mean, I hope it will be more than 100 years but I get your point. I also think that if humans destroy an entire planet for the sole reason of rich people getting richer and dumbasses completely ignoring science that has been around for decades, they shouldn't get another planet.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

There is a battle brewing between White Nationalist E-Christians and White Nationalist E-Pagans/Agnostics that I’m sure is bleeding over into real life.

Ridic conspiracy stuff, and typically spearheaded by narcissists and grifters sucking in young impressionable for the most part.

These people (the followers at least, not sure how serious the grifters are) fully bought into the idea that there is a “white genocide” occurring. Of course Jewish and black people are at the forefront of their ire. But Hispanics as well obv. They seem to have a bit of an affinity for East Asian people for whatever reason or aren’t particularly concerned with them. Indians they hate tho. But mostly Jewish and black.

Basically they think Christianity is a long con by Jewish people to destroy the white “race” and whites should return to their pagan roots.

Wild stuff.

You wouldn’t believe the stuff these dudes are arguing about in those X spaces. Well you prob can but it is vile. Not as vile as their grifter provocateur leaders do in other platforms.

Oddly enough, the “pagans” are correct. Christianity is indeed incompatible with race-first ideology.

Nihilism.

I wouldn't say that life is completely meaningless. I don't see meaning in preserving a meager life in space for future people who don't yet exist, though. The Bible doesn't, either. The end times are mentioned somewhat frequently.

I misunderstood and thought you were speaking more generally.like, not caring if future generations were living in a post apocalyptic hell hole or whatever.

Another example is like rapture people not caring about the environment and stuff like that.

I think a lot of people can appreciate that perspective intellectually, but self-preservation is hardwired into us as a species. I also cannot think of any reason why a Christian should be less inclined to populate other planets.

What is the point of populating other planets of you believe Jesus is coming back to bring about man's extinction?

Look at the rate of technological gain over the last 50, 100, etc years. Focusing on 1k+ year needs is the dumbest fuckin’ thing any pseudo intellectual could do. So here we are.

Didn’t even know this was still a thing after the Vegas debacle. Really didn’t know people were dumb enough (got bribed enough) to fall for this nonsense again.

On the whole I absolutely agree with the message of the article, but the author (or the people being interviewed) are a bit confused. I’m not familiar with the Stargate design, but what they are describing is using chillers to provide cooling. And yes you have to initially fill the system, but with a decent chemical treatment program those systems will be fully self contained (I mean they always need a little bit of makeup water but it wouldn’t move the needle) and will not use very much water (aside from the initial filling)

I suppose if there’s one thing that could save Texas water from hectares of datacenters, it’s that most of Texas (except west Texas) is humid enough of a climate that it makes direct evaporative cooling systems (like the ones described in the article) incredibly inefficient and cost prohibitive, to the point that they wouldn’t even bother and will just use closed loop chilled water systems.
