Really? 3%? Why is this news.

Dems have good will? This is like rodeo 3 at least in my lifetime. I expect nothing from them but handwringing and a lot of talk. That way I won't be disappointed when they don't make meaningful, lasting change.
You remember the hope messages during Obama's time and remove all hope cause look what happens. I'm not excited and don't wanna hear about blue waves. I want to see a salted earth approach from Dems reversing everything and putting new clear laws in place.
Until that happens and hell freezes over, I don't buy any rhetoric. I'm too old and seen this shit so many times already.
Some of us remember roughly 2019-2021ish, 2007-2011ish, and basically the mid-1950s through the mid-1990s when Dems controlled quite a lot of both chambers of Congress.
Get ready for your lukewarm progress.
What about when CA was red mere decades ago? Always? Things flip and change and come and go.
I have a hard time not being cynical about these kinds of things. I'd loved to be surprised.
They won't turn out. I fully expect to see the usual lukewarm Dem control again, where they play too nice and some not truly blue Dem's block everything and a bunch of let's get along rhetoric.
But I'd love to see them just burn the fascist approaches to the ground. Let's see investigations and new laws passed to prevent the executive branch and supreme Court from having so much damn control. Need a rebalancing.
They should also require Congress to actually work more or not get paid.
None of this will happen. Dems will use baby gloves like they always do.
Imagine a country where a mob murdered every president they don't like. That can go both ways.
I know the Internet is trash, but I am NOT defending the current president at all. Fuck him. Just saying, the other side is rabid enough to murder a left wing president too. They took over the Capitol.
And then like 8 years from now we'll read about Chappell Roan supporting right wing shit. Seems to happen every fucking time.
What I'm hearing is:
Yes, but you DID shoot me down that first time, honey.
All caps is terrible.
Rarely. For some reason I had a ton of fun with Field Commander on PSP. For its time and console limitations, it was excellent.
We really need a best of Lemmy community or similar. Link (don't challenge me to a Temple game about it, idkwtf I'm doing)

Quick sources.
According to Google, a single search requires about 0.0003 kWh of energy.

Each ChatGPT query consumes an estimated 2.9 Wh of electricity...
Edit: I'm an idiot for not even considering conversions. I simply pasted the numbers from the sources. Apologies.
0.0003 kWh is 0.3 Wh, and 2.9 Wh is 0.0029 kWh.
I think the regular search is effectively one-tenth a chatgpt prompt.
...according to a simple calculator, and a lot of commenters who've now accidentally made this funnier.

Okay, after some more rabbling, here's some edits. Take your pick:
