    so you know it’s a problem, you know the sport’s total footprint is the cause, you even point out THEY know it’s wretched and are making half hearted efforts to someday maybe do something.

    but you give them your attention.

    There’s just some things an ICU can do that an electric motor can’t.

    but it’s entertainment, not some mission critical life saving thing, it’s to watch cars go fast driving in circles.

    fuck me, our civilization deserves to collapse.

      we deserve to collapse because we like to be entertained?

      i wonder if what you used to type and send this comment onto the internet uses any sort of battery

        we deserve to collapse because we like to be entertained?

        when the specific entertainment is dicking around the ONLY FUCKIN’ ATMOSPHERE WE HAVE yeah I think so.

        you like the taste of smog? or is it simping for petroleum companies?

        Or is the attraction fracking?

        Watching the poles melt in real time?

        Come on man, which is the part that gives you the entertainment?

      You know what, you’re right. Maybe while we’re at it, we should stop going to concerts altogether. Running all those speakers and lights is bound to cause co2 emissions! We should also throw our computers in the trash. Think about all the co2 emissions and our future generations! As a matter of fact, we should go back to living like cavemen.

          Yeah and songs are just sound. Paintings are just color and paper. Computers are just silicon. Qualia. You may not derive anything out of watching it but for me and many others it is like watching a sport. And the emissions from it are relatively tiny.
