See, what most people don't realize is that gay people, actual gay people, have very little influence. Not just in mainstream politics or media - we have increasingly less and less influence over the LGBT/"queer" community itself.

The perception of asexuals as an oppressed class of people does not benefit gay people. The insistence that heterosexual couples "can be queer" if one partner is bi does not benefit gay people. The increased pressure to find the opposite sex attractive or relatable as long as they claim to be the same sex does not benefit gay people. So why is it that these are all, apparently, agendas of the "gay rights movement"?

your post reads as transphobic (”increased pressure to find the opposite sex attractive or relatable as long as they claim to be the same sex”) and dismissive of the struggles of everyone who has an identity in the queer community beyond gay or lesbian.

and, 47% being het-partnered? not an issue. thats trans people, bi people (who are bi regardless of who they end up with and how convenient that is for your beliefs), and other individuals subverting the toxic u.s. norms of the nuclear family and attraction/gender expression expectations and the class system with who and how they love each other and themselves in their expression.

there is still being work done for gay and lesbian rights, there’s also just being more work done on trans and other attractions rights as well.

Me, 5 minutes later:

So every transaction with bitcoins requires the ledger to be updated with the current ownership of every already existing bitcoin, which also requires encrypting and decrypting a bunch of information and sharing it across the public ledger. So every transaction made with bitcoins increases the energy requirements of updating the ledger making it harder and harder to complete the latest version and get the coin which is a reward for doing that work.

See all these warehouses? They’re quite literally filled to the brim with specialized computers that do nothing but mine, each one filled with thousands of these computers, just row after row of this:

Graphics cards! 

Lots and lots of these puppies side by side, spinning their little fans as fast as they can go because as it turns out: GPUs are perfect for doing the calculations required for mining cryptocurrency.

Which means amateur miners buy a lot of these things.

So many, in fact, that there is now (May 2021) a world-wide shortage of NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards and building a new gaming rig is damn near impossible because of the shortage. 

OR you can pay a ridiculously inflated price by GPU scalpers on eBay.

Seriously. Places that sell GPUs impose quantity limits because if they don’t… some crypto asshole will buy out their entire stock in one go.

But the “good” news is that the professional miners (like the Bitmain site up there, in the photos) use dedicated ASIC mining rigs which don’t use consumer GPUs. But (bad news) they DO use the same sort of chips that NVIDIA & AMD rely on to make their products, which just starves the supply pipeline at a different point.

Bottom line: not only does cryptocurrency mining consume terawatts of electricity, it also consumes megatons of computer hardware. Which is expensive to produce (in resource terms, like rare metals, petroleum, water, electricity, paper) and will, someday, require even MORE resources to recycle. Or else it ends up in a landfill.

Note that current dedicated mining rigs are so highly specialized they are useless for anything other than mining. They cannot be easily repurposed to  (say) sequence DNA or fold proteins for miracle cures.

hi anon, sorry it took me a while to write this, but i hope you enjoy it! the first part of your ask sounded like subdrop but when i researched subdrop it didn’t really cohere with the second half of your request, so i just wrote it as a subdrop fic. Hope this is okay! :)
