ACCount37 expressly left out the coal smoke stacks from their description, so I'm not sure why you chose to focus solely on that and throw it back in?

- Forgeties79 11mo ago> I don't mind things like huge cooling towers or massive dams. ^That’s not “cherry picking.“ They are saying the two things that they would not mind seeing in the distance. It is reasonable to assume that it was not an omission to avoid hurting their point, but rather that coal power smoke stacks are not on list. It strikes me as the much more obvious reading. “Of the things you listed, these two don’t really bother me.”

- Forgeties79 11mo agoYou and I can disagree about interpretation all day long but there’s no misinterpreting your incredibly condescending tone. Have a good rest of your Sunday man.

- Forgeties79 11mo agoCall it what you want, either way it was rude and unnecessary. As for your point: If that’s what he’s doing then he’s doing a piss poor job because several of us clearly heard an implied “but not coal fire plant smoke stacks” while he said infrastructure for renewables on the skyline can be pretty.
