  • If I was a parent, I’d be one of those parents where the child has to suffer the consequences. No, I will not come to your defense when you engage with and anger trolls. No, I will not be responsible for any scarring you inflicted on yourself by watching things or seeing things not meant for a young person’s mind pre-adulthood.

    I’ll gladly give them their own computer and I’ll give them internet access. I’ll gladly give warnings and cautions. But fuck with all of them whether it’s illegal activity that’s going to come at my doorstep or whine about anything you started - you’re fucked.


  • Linux for laptops. Windows for desktops.

    Linux is not 100% there for me to really use. It never really was. I’ve sometimes tried to go through a folder of all of the setup files for programs and utilities I commonly use on Windows. I just know for a fact that while Linux has open source counterparts to some of them, they don’t for all of them. Even if Linux did, it always feels like I have to take an extra step or two, to run it as opposed to on Windows by simply clicking it to run.

    Then it’s a matter of driver support as well.

    Then it’s the relentless browbeating from Linux fanboys that just turn me off from considering going full Linux. I keep envisioning this scenario where someone is calling tech support for like an audio issue and the support guy is going “I see, well…all you have to do is…GO LINUX!” he shouts in the ear piece at the caller. He would repeat “GO LINUX!” over and over until the caller hangs up, while he’s still on the line, drooling over himself as he mumbles “Linux…” while imagining the Tux penguin, Torvalds and other open source figures. Eyes glossed over.

    That’s the kind of fanboyism I can’t stand with Linux.




  • I think the causes are right. The execution is just very poor. I don’t understand what blocking traffic has to do with it, I don’t understand what throwing paint around has to do with it.

    Honestly, I think protests should be a matter of information vs information and using the right information to combat the lies and deceit projected by those they’re against.

    You lose traction of your cause if all that you’re doing is trying to be the biggest intolerant prick.

    I didn’t like the Black Lives Matter movement, because their ranks contained people that destroyed streets and they seemed to just budge right in on everything.

    I didn’t like the Stop Oil movement, because all that they did were examples of what I brought up about blocking traffic and throwing paint.











  • Vegeta.

    Akira personally doesn’t like him, which may explain so much as to why Vegeta really never got too much of the spotlight as Goku did. Sure, Saiyan Saga Vegeta is an irredeemable prick but by Freiza saga, he actually developed gradually. His complaints of being second to Goku gets tiring at times but it’s a vessel he uses to actually keep going on.

    It is because of him firing off that energy ki to Cell, is what gave Gohan the advantage he needed to finish Cell off for good since he was struggling even with Goku’s help.

    I just like the progress of Vegeta’s character build. I like that even though he’s not prodigy he was lead to believe in surpassing Goku, he’s still second-best compared to the rest.





  • Oh my god, yes.

    I’ve even talked with people who’re like;

    This…is an example sentence…just to tell you…something.

    Usually you see that with older people not used to texting or someone who’s first language is not english. But you see so many of that, it makes you wonder. I think they’re trying to make it look like they’re processing their thoughts as they’re typing?

    I don’t expect people to be Charles Dickens here, but jesus, I’d rather someone take their time getting a thought out than for me to see a poorly written draft of it.





  • Capitalism makes me view the world and society as manufactured. Nothing I buy brings me true happiness, because it is just a means to survive or bring some bare minimum amount of comfort. Nothing out there to watch, play, read, listen to brings authentic joy as they once did, knowing how much capitalism has affected all of those mediums.

    I’ve had to watch my dreams and ambitions die on the chopping block, because they’d require a level of financial stability or requirement I’d never ever get to see in my life even now.

    They say you should turn your hobbies into a job. Well to me, my idea of a hobby is to enjoy and to escape. To monetize it, would mean I have to let that toxic friend be more of a friend than I am already at a discomfort with being my unintentional friend in the first place.

    I already have a very jarred and jaded outlook on everything in the world, thanks to capitalism. I even despise the word ‘consumer’ because that’s a derogatory term to devalue people by, but we’ve come to accept it unfortunately.

    And one day, I will be a victim of this capitalism. I am just one car repair or emergency visit away from wanting sweet release.
