Year: 2024

Thou Thou

Chill Clowns, Politics

Indeed it will.

I think I need to practice shooting again. Might need that in this country soon enough. It’s hard to find a shooting range outside of the military, though, where you can target shoot anything more than 300 meters out. The kind of shooting I’d need to do, I’d want a range with targets out to a thousand meters. I’m very good at all distances but I’m great at long range. And I’m getting too old to jump out of planes and run around in trenches and that kinda shit.

Not all liberals are afraid of guns.

That Light is a Nuke

Chill Politics, Prediction, War

Fuck me, if Trump wins, Ukraine will be crushed and thus there is an 80% chance we will be fighting in Poland by 2032. Same for the South China Sea but that’s like 90%+. Trump absolutely will sell out Ukraine, Taiwan and all our allies.

If Harris wins, there’s still a large chance of the above but it’s more like 30% for Poland and 70% for SCS. Better, but not great.

WWIII, here we come I guess. Fucking hell.

Musk Derangement Syndrome

Chill Clowns

This is why the “Musk has never done anything” that you hear goofy liberals spout is so fucking retarded. Look, just because he’s a shit human being doesn’t invalidate his accomplishments. He built Tesla and SpaceX from nothing, both in industries people said could not be entered. He did things many, many other people said were 100% impossible.

And y’all dumb as shit motherfuckers who think who is CEO has nothing to do with the success of a company are the same fuckwits who say Boeing has been ruined by its MBA CEOs.

Jesus Christ, shut up. Just shut up. I don’t like it when the other side looks like right clowns. I hate it even more when my side does.

Feather the Prop

Chill Amusing

Women whining that the men they desire don’t want them anymore after they get atrocious and disfiguring tattoos sound exactly like incels griping and crying because women don’t want them because they do nothing to make themselves more desirable.

Birds of a feather…with very unappealing feathers.

Narrative Control

Chill Politics, Prediction

Polls for the presidential election are gonna be way, way wrong again and then we’ll have to spend another four fucking years being gaslit about how “the polls were really correct” and that “the experts actually did get it right” when anyone with an ounce of sense and statistics knowledge can tell that’s just utter bullshit.

I’m really looking forward to that.

Call of the Gay

Chill Amusing, WTF

I’ve been called “gay” (mostly by women, by the way!) for these things:

  • Knowing how to cook.
  • Listening to mostly women artists.
  • Being able to decorate credibly.
  • Knowing by sight who painted or sculpted art in a museum.
  • Liking stage plays.
  • Eating salad.
  • Eating vegetables in general.
  • Knowing the names of movie directors.
  • Having women friends.
  • Reading books.
  • Using a hairbrush.
  • Liking tennis.
  • Liking women’s tennis specifically.
  • Dressing nicely (business goth).
  • Having more than two pairs of shoes.
  • Having a large vocabulary.
  • Knowing the names of more than three colors.
  • Preferring cars that aren’t neutral colors.

And many, many others I am forgetting. Those are just the ones I can recall in a few seconds.
