  • Don’t forget, there is a large and worldwide vested interest in maintaining online divisiveness.

    The internet has become our global hearth. The grand majority of humanity participate in the internet to communicate with each other for conversation, connectedness, and social expression.

    This is very bad for authoritarian regimes, whether they are currently in power or attempting to enter into power or attempting to expand their power.

    Should someone do something that is considered “bad”, information about that will spread around the world as fast as a lie ever could.

    To prevent that from hampering their schemes, the smart thing to do would be to poison the source. If you hate everyone on the internet because you have been effectively compromised by psychological poison, then you will not trust the people on the internet that you communicate with when they tell you something bad has happened.

    Therefore, the mote of power you could add to collective action is rendered ineffective.

    And, the interesting thing is they don’t have to fool everybody. They only have to fool enough of us that our own internal division prevents effective action.

    I never really believed in a devil growing up, but if I did believe in a devil now, I would definitely say that this is one of his activities.



  • Yeah. The good in humankind is the reason why we’re not currently rioting in the streets.

    The goodness is holding out hope that our innermost desires for what’s best for ourselves and for the future of humanity will win over the short term narrow-minded greed that is currently ruining everything.

    What did not good doesn’t know is that the good has already won, and if the not good does not concede defeat soon enough the good will strike with righteous and ignition and a fury that cannot be abated short of blood.



  • My problem with Pop OS is that on the two different machines I’ve installed it on it was very slow.

    One of them made sense because it was an older mini Lenovo box, but the second machine I installed it on was a 10th gen Intel core i7 laptop with a Nvidia 2060 and 32 gigs of RAM and a decent one terabyte nvme SSD, and there would still be a massive pause with every click, somewhere between half a second and a second before anything would respond, and when updating or launching Firefox or anything it would always spin for a while and then pop up the sign saying this app is taking too long to respond.

    Both of the devices were Lenovo devices, maybe there’s some sort of fundamental incompatibility or missing driver or something but I couldn’t cope with the lagginess of the OS.

    Fedora worked swimmingly on both of them, for comparison.



  • Next time you get your teeth cleaned at the dentist, which you should be doing every 6 months or so, ask them to give you a fluoride treatment. They literally just brush this minty sweet stuff onto your teeth and let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes.

    The fluoride will leech into your teeth and help reinforce any weak spots to decrease the likelihood of developing cavities.

    I mean, if you’re a conspiracy theorist then in theory it will calcify your third eye as well, but I have no way of verifying that claim, or even proving that the third eye exists other than the pineal gland in your brain, and I’ve never heard of anyone’s pineal gland being calcified.



  • I have a follow-up head Canon about the movie Evil Dead 2, in that what we are seeing is Ash telling us the story of what happened and how his girlfriend got her head chopped off with a shovel.

    That would explain the camp, The Three stooges comedy and the over-the-top bizarre this guy is just so cool he can’t be killed even by an army of the Dead even when he sucked into the past like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.

    This is held up by the revised ending to army of darkness where he’s telling this story to a girl in Kmart sorry, S Mart to impress her as if having a home-built robotic hand wasn’t impressive efuckingnough.




  • And also, I personally think that vaders redemption at the end of episode 6 was false.

    Vader killed billions of people. He destroyed an entire planet for the lulz.

    And he was a whiny little shit his entire life before becoming Vader.

    One tiny little moment of redemption is not enough to undo all the shit he did.

    It is my opinion that the force ghosts shown at the end of episode 6 are being created by Luke Skywalker to assuage his own mental trauma of the series of events that had let him to that point.

    He did that so he can tell himself that he is a hero, that he is not a failed Jedi, that all of the pain and suffering he had been through was worth it.

    The only reason why Leia could sort of see them was because she was tuned into his force power


  • Then back to the Future part 2, Marty McFly should have arrived in the future where he disappeared 30 years ago and his children were never born.

    Even if he did arrive history should have begun reverting itself, as his disappearance from the past should have altered the present until he returns.

    As long as he experienced no ghosting effects, that would have meant that he was functionally immortal until he returned back to the present.

    That entire scenario could have been avoided if doc Brown had said we’ve got a few hours until the universe begins to rectify the fact that you are not in the past with the temporal causality of the present future
