Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

  • Evopsych type dudes.

    They made up a whole pseudoscience to “explain” their inability to form meaningful bonds with other humans. And in the process broadcast to everyone they are on the spectrum but refuse to accept it.

    Like my dude, I too have trouble intuiting the rules of proper social interaction and wonder where the manual everyone but me got is. But it’s not because of some made up bullshit about the pleistocene. It’s because I’m autistic, and it’s high time you got your ass checked.



  • I enjoyed 7/9 of them (Rise of Skywalker and Phantom Menace commit the only sin that I think is unforgivable in a movie: They are uninteresting)

    But that’s the thing right.

    They’re

    Enjoyable films

    … And that’s it. If one of them sucks, it doesn’t change much in the world at large. And even if you’re the type of person for whom a bad entry ruins a series, it’s not like it’s such a massive loss in the case of Star Wars?






  • but changing words is just virtue signalling that doesn’t do anything to make anything better for anyone

    … And if you are the type of neoliberal politician that wants to pretend they care about people while never actually doing anything to help anyone other than the megacorps when you get into power – Then this is literally all you’ll ever do for people. Linguistic fuckery. Making up new words for things. Fucking around with definitions. And you know that there will be an army of people who will defend this, and shoot down people who actually want to do something on grounds that they said the “wrong” words.

    The argument for ‘unhoused’ is that it humanises the person – But it’s really pushing it.




  • As a technology it’s nothing special, a solution looking for a problem.

    As a speculative bubble and tech industry gold rush it was outright destructive.

    Of course, unless it makes a comeback somehow, the days of blockchain as a tech industry gold rush seem to be over. Now the samesuch grifters are pushing AI (ANOTHER solution looking for a problem) where it don’t belong instead.
