More of a regular thing for me than annual. It's primarily Doctors without Borders and some international charities,mainly for the middle east. A while back my wife and I paid for some wells for some villages in Pakistan.

Boy oh boy did they screw up on this topic. I guess the DNC got their cheque and left laughing as the rest of the world continues to get fucked.

Your title made me chuckle.

This seems to he based on a lot of hypothetical and not actual data.

The study examined the carbon footprint associated with each user per minute by incorporating the emissions associated with data centers, which made up about 99% of the footprint, and the emissions associated with charging devices after using the platforms.

TikTok’s emissions are the most opaque of the social media platforms. Tech giants such as Meta and Google release detailed reports to the Carbon Disclosure Project every year, even posting their findings to their respective websites. TikTok has no publicly available emissions data.

It's just the theoretical output of emissions needed to run a Data Centre based off viewers and average time spent. While these are all rough numbers it could also very well be that the Data Centre's are powered at least in part by renewables.

So it would make sense that Tiktok would use up a lot of electricity for its platform. We just can't be sure how much of it actually translates into more emissions.

Celebrity appearances.

Not to say the show goes downhill because of it. But I feel as if it's often used as a crutch to attract more viewers.

Have you ever had anything you would characterize as a 10? Or even something like 8?

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Rarely. Humans can be very inconsistent due to their inherent biases and emotions. If what you say were true we would have been able to observe it take place by now.

Not many people are pure leftists though. We all have our inherent biases based on things like social class, upbringing, religion, nationality, etc. Just because a consistent framework is there doesn't mean people just fit so well into it.

Funnily enough my only exposure to D&D was from Baldurs Gate 3. I'll take it as a compliment though.

Very few people fit neatly into a political label. We tend to be all over the place on political issues.

I think you should just embrace it and go for the look. Redefine your whole life based on this one person's comment. Might as well.
