What part of “the rest of the argument is obviously fine” didn’t you understand? :D

Uuuummm… Tap water is literally pooled resources.

“Can have” != “Have all the time in every case”

Our representatives do not represent our interests because they are so far removed from us.

That’s a super simplistic statement. There are many more reasons for that, and this one isn’t even among the top of the list.

There is nothing about sharing computational resources that necessarily includes loss of privacy, transparency or freedom. With the correct systems in place (i.e. not controlled by one capitalistic company, fuck you Altman), that can all be fine.

I’m gaming a lot. Can confirm, almost no heating bill, but high electricity bill

I’m sorry, your first statement is a little weird. If there are actually only enough resources to produce 1 hammer, yes, of course you’re depriving your neighbor of a hammer and it’d be better for both of you to share it.

The rest of your argument is obviously fine, just the first part doesn’t make sense.

I basically just use it as trash mail for all the services that need a “reputable” email provider at this point, for which the free version is fine

Hm maybe my English is bad, I was going off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regret definition:

Regret is the emotion of wishing one had made a different decision in the past, because the consequences of the decision one did make were unfavorable.

So in the context of your response, it seemed to mean “I could have decided to let Trump die, but I didn’t. I regret that decision.”

If it is a “regret” of yours, that means you must have had some control over it. In which situation was his life in your hands?
