You are just being cryptic. In what world could clanker mean anything except robot. You are trying to educate someone on what you think is right, tell us what words you think it is replacing. Tell us how any of the things you’ve listed are variations of older slurs. And tell us how directing hate at something that isn’t human is somehow worse than directing it at humans. Would you rather people be using slurs against each other or against something with no consciousness?
Some clubs cost money. Most do not. You can literally go to your local library for a book club which costs nothing. You can join a walking club, a running club, a bird watching club, the list is endless.
Mlem is better for me than Apollo ever was, probably just due to how it’s open source and the community is so small and competitive from an app perspective.

The tweets are real? Or the bailout is real?
AI;DR
Join a club. Sailing club, rock climbing club, biking club. You’ll make friends real quick.
They might be referencing some specific HEB coffee. My wife gets it from a friend sometimes when the friend brings it back, and she says it’s really good.
Wait, what’s the problem with ironwolf? I just got one. I thought they were good
“I strongly condemn the intensification of these types of irresponsible incidents on the part of the Russian Federation,” wrote Nicușor Dan, president of Romania, in a post on the social media platform X. “We remain vigilant alongside NATO allies to defend ourselves and repel such challenges.”
What the fuck is up with the weak ass responses. This isn’t an “incident”. It’s an act of war.
Wait, I’m very confused how a term for robots is being used in place of slurs. If people are doing that they can do it with any terms, they could be calling them robots to start with. This is exactly how the far right has weaponized other terms, symbols, and even flags. I absolutely hate to be linking a substack here but this article gives a tiny overview of all the things that are just normal terms that have been completely co-opted by fascists to mean something different. https://resistancecalisthenics.substack.com/p/hijacking-words-how-fascists-twist
Not using the word clanker isn’t going to stop it, they’ll either switch to another word they can steal or they’ll take it completely (which is worse, cause now they’re influencing you and your vocabulary).
You ever notice how many ponds are on a golf course? Any excess water from sprinkling drains to those ponds, instead of off of the course. That is then reused.
There are also reservoirs under tee pads used to keep evaporation down.
And finally, very nice courses use underground systems like SubAir that pull excess water away, oxygenating the soil to promote growth with less water and saving the excess water for later.
Golf courses try very hard to prevent water loss from evaporation. It’s why you see so many damn sprinklers on a golf course. The more sprinklers reduce the distance the water has to travel, reducing evaporation, and also results in more even coverage meaning less water loss to runoff. Golf courses aren’t tech companies. They don’t just throw money away trying to capture entire countries markets, they have to function in society in a very visible way as being seen as wasting a lot of water.
Data centers don’t have to do any of that, and big tech companies get free passes to do whatever the fuck they want no matter how bad they’re fucking the environment.
