Far Away

Chill Regular-ass Post

This attempt to remove responsibility (mostly) explains the Fat Acceptance and other similar movements — even centrism and the like. We are told very convincingly that by choosing between a range of sterilized and indistinguishable consumer products that we are making consequential decisions. This is a lie, of course. We’re every day engaged in a constant and unrelenting battle to control our own minds. In a way, since the advent of organized religion, this has been true. What has changed is that that we are told that making a selection among a range of very circumscribed choices is complete freedom. Most people buy into this (equivalence very much intended) utterly and are flabbergasted when you reject all the options because they didn’t even realize such a thing was possible — and it offends them and scares them, which is exactly what they’ve been trained to feel when someone doesn’t do what’s “natural.”

Diff

This is cute, but I’m surprised no one on Tumblr had a meltdown because there is five year age difference between Janelle Monae and Kristen Stewart. Usually any couple with more than 1-2 year age differential is heavily criticized there.

Once, I saw a man in in his late 40s criticized as a “pedophile” for dating a woman in her early 30s — which is truly repulsive because it minimizes the true harm and vileness of pedophilia, thus causing yet greater harm.

Good job, Tumblr.

Bozo

I’m really stuck with what OS I can use in the future.

With MacOS removing subpixel anti-aliasing, when the version I am on becomes too unsupported I won’t be able to effectively use that any longer and won’t be able to upgrade because the fonts look like hot garbage and nuke my eyes.

Windows 10 isn’t an option and Linux is even worse. I’m guessing then in a year or two I will use the computer less then as no OS will be worth using and so I will just read more books.

Still not sure why Apple had to destroy their desktop OS, and one of their main advantages, but Jobs is gone and the bozo explosion is in progress there.
