    This comment from another post of the same article has some good counter points on why this probably isn’t as bad as it sounds.

    While ridiculous, there’s interesting context here.

    Greenland has little to no economy

    The ice is mined from ice that has already broken away from the glacier, thus not reducing any more than nature has already

    Cargo ships bringing frozen food used to leave empty, now that same fuel is used to transport ice back instead of going to waste

    The founder has always dreamed of a sustainable economy for Greenland

    He is conflicted about how his work to do this in a sustainable way is being taken

    The follow up comments are worth reading too.






  • They/them is gender neutral. People literally use it to avoid offending people by accidentally misgendering.

    It’s not like they went out of their way to say he or “they” to try and trigger people. She’s also not here stating her “wish”.

    With all the actual assholes out there it’s ignorant as fuck to be so reactionary on someone else’s behalf when the person you’re attacking is likely on the same side as you.

    I’m sure there’d be no reaction at all if you called them they. Feel free to watch I guess since I did it.

    Yeah, okay. So much less cruel to just trap and kill them all. Unless you’ve got a secret cat utopia where they can all go to.

    The problem is there already. People adopting and keeping them indoors is not the problem.

    A real solution would be better laws and enforcement involving cat breeders and people who let cats roam and reproduce freely. Or all the assholes around the time COVID lockdowns who figured they could just adopt temporarily and then abandon their pets.


  • Yeah I’ve got the same one and have had no issues with it (besides being too lazy about charging it and having to quickly plug in mid-meeting which is just user error).

    It’s charge lasts a while but I only use it for a few hours at a time max so maybe that’s more of why I only have to charge it once every week or so.

    Nice to be able to walk around most of the house without disconnecting and I haven’t noticed any latency issues.
