    I really think you're overvaluing Google and Amazon.

    Well that's because the NRA is OBVIOUSLY responsible for EVERY SINGLE shooting that happens. Just like every Cloud Flair is responsible for every act of piracy that happens, Ford is responsible for every car crash, pharmaceutical manufacturers are responsible for every single OD, every single Mullah is responsible for every act of Islamist terror, and every single white male is reasonable for pretty much everything.

    It's the [Current Year] and no one has any time for reasonable discussion. Just ban everything and you're a racist for not knowing this already.

    Yes, because there totally is a real problem with 1930s style socialism loving German nationalist on Twitter. Oh, of course I know that's what you mean. What you mean to say that everyone you don't agree with is Hitler.

    Hey, if you're going to go full blown Godwin's law right off the bat that I'm not going to treat you with any respect or credibly. Especially when you're going to start citing every single retarded trope and accusation against other communities and platforms that the left has declared to be 'literally Hitler'. Hell, I don't even like most social media. Twitter, Gab, or Reddit. Some parts of 4Chan are fun, but I don't actually like Nazi memes. They're kind of dumb.

    But as a final point I'll also point out that the idea of no-platforming any social out-group has literally zero chance of working in the long run. You'll just drive them underground and build more more social resentment towards to the point you actually end up invigorating these extremest groups. It's just basic human psychology.

    Speaking of shit-fucks that didn't read the study

    What I just said about Drudge isn't even from the abstract. It's from the Online Supplement that came with it. I did in fact read through this tripe, which is why I understood the very serious flaws in it. Specially about how this study laid out a list arbitrary attributes about what constitutes 'junk news'. Many of which are absolutely pointless in terms of the quality of the reporting itself. It should also be noted in the list of websites that the author of this BS declares as 'junk' seem to be entirely right wing.

    Beyond that, to think that there are no left wing junk news sites is laughable. By the standards set in this study sites like Slate, Buzzfeed, Raw Story, and the Huffington Post would all be 'junk news'. Yet not a single one of these websites are labeled as junk news in this study. And if you think these sites are not junk news by the standard set in the study then you yourself are beyond partisan.

    There's so much wrong with this study that it could be a study itself in how bad research is done. The most glaring is that the author of this tripe laid out an arbitrary categories of what the author believes to be what is and is not a legitimate news site. Many of which have little to do with what the information reports actually is, but the style in which it is presented. One of the most glaring examples of which is that The Drudge Reported is considered fake news. Drudge is little more than a basic news aggregator. It's also very questionable that while there is a list of sites that are considered 'junk' it does not say why exactly each site is considered 'junk'.

And then you also have the nice problem with disposing of large amount of toxic materials that are used in the construction of the damn things.

    Again, everything has a cost. And right wow China is going to use coal, and it's going to keep using coal for generations. In fact they're probably just going to refine their own emissions control systems before they waste resources on building solar technology that will never meet their own rapidly growing energy demand.

Full fucking stop. The artist that I listen to are found from better services like Band Camp, where I don't have to go through some POS third party corporation to access my music constantly through my devices. There's also the issue where that I don't use my own phone like a fucking toy, so I don't waste my battery life on entertainment. So my Phone never gets used for streaming.
