chenGOD Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Living in a western society and being on the internet you are dependent on oil. And as such support those companies by simply being part of this society. Similar argument holds for being online and being part of the global online village. Facebook (and google) is like the oil company of the internet. And 'supporting' and 'standing up for' are shades of a similar grey. ;p So yeah, if you're really woke and all that, you might start with returning to a lifestyle from before people discovered oil. Become a farmer and ignore the internet. This is a stupid and tiresome game, innit. :) if you stream music you're contributing to tons of pollution (more pollution than any other listening format) https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2019/04/08/digital-music-pollution/ Streaming Actually Produces More Pollution Than Any Other Music Format, Report Finds That article is not presenting findings accurately - the source the author links to discusses economic costs, but nothing on environmental cost. The environmental cost is from some forthcoming study, if you squint real hard at the bottom of the infographic, so who knows what methodology was used. I have my doubts that streaming is more environmentally unfriendly than physical media, simply due to the energy costs in moving physical media.

Candiru Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 So when you stream Lil Dicky's new environmental song, "Earth" off Spotify, you are killing the planet. That actually makes sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 back to Trumpleton...i mean the guy is 72 and clearly not in good health. Do we really want someone who could potentially keel over from a heart attack (stress from work can cause that, and he seems pretty stressed) as the POTUS?
