The Future in Fact Was Not Cooler

Chill Uncategorized

Well, you can predict what is going to happen, and even though it’s obvious, people will hate you for it.

The case is just the latest in a string of murders and assaults by asylum seekers against women in Germany. In October 2016, Maria Ladenburger, a 19-year-old university student, was raped and killed by an Afghan asylum seeker. In December 2017, Mia Valentin, a 15-year-old girl, was stabbed to death in a drugstore by her ex-boyfriend, an Afghan migrant.

The cases have added fuel to the far right’s fiery anti-immigrant rhetoric. And it has created a dilemma for Germany’s liberal feminists: How can they fight against violence without supporting anti-immigrant resentments? Or to put it even more bluntly: Is it even possible to defend pluralism and women’s rights at the same time in Germany today?

No, it is not possible, in Germany or anywhere else. Those are incompatible goals when dealing with certain cultures.

When you let in a million or more young men who see women as nothing more than fuckable cattle, what do you think is going to happen? What do you expect, exactly? Actually, not even cattle, as cattle have value. To many of them, women do not.

If that is racist, then reality is racist, and so be it. (Though what it has to do with race isn’t clear to me; many white people are Muslim, and if white people commit such acts, they should be deported en masse back to wherever they came from, too.)

Festering Piles

Fucking hell. This explains why all of these products are becoming festering piles of utterly putrid garbage.

I Can Do It

NTFS tricks collection.

I use some of these to do things I shouldn’t be able to do in environments where people think they have restricted me.

If I have access to your network, you have not restricted me; you’ve merely given me a fun time and the chance to laugh at your puny security and do what I wish to do. (Note: I only do this with companies that want me to do some task for them, but then restrict me from actually doing it because of “IT policies,” so I use my skills for good. This sort of idiotic behavior is more common than you’d think.)

“Advice”

Chill Regular-ass Post

Bad writing advice.

writing advice: never italicize words to show emphasis! if you’re writing well then the reader will know and you don’t need them!

Here’s some more advice: just throw all your flat head screwdrivers away! If you’re a real repair person, you can make do with Phillips head only.

Unfortunately, writing advice like this is only for bad writers. Poor writers need formulaic advice; good writers use the appropriate tool, the appropriate method, the well-tempered word in its place, discarding rules and japing at them completely at times.
