Only Migrant

Chill Evil

This will be the only way to suppress the legitimate objections of the European masses to Islamic migrant invasion and resulting civilizational destruction; that’s why this is happening now.

From ’89

Chill Cool

Hidden engineering.

Not that long before this was written in 1989, all of it was “nerd fantasy.” But now, more than 30 years later, just about all of the engineering written about there — which would’ve seemed impossible to someone from 1889 — is obsolete tech. It’s all been replaced by better and much cheaper, safer and more reliable hardware to achieve the same result.

I hate pseudo-progressives and degrowthers so so much.

Pollution Dilution

Chill Clowns, Rant

This is correct. The US’s clownish obsession with enormous pollution-spewing trucks and fossil fuels is not mirrored by the rest of the world. We are being and will be left behind. In about five years, more than half of the cars on the road worldwide will be EVs. In 10, it’ll be more like 80%+. All except here, where Ford moronically canceled the electric F-150 because the American right now believes batteries, the sun and wind are gay.

Fucking idiots.

Toolbox

Chill Annoying, Evil

It’s weird that nearly all of the people who hate AI have never tried it, don’t know anything about it, and are all the usual degrowthers, doomers, and dipshits.

Also, as I’ve observed before, they believe AI still works as well as it did 3+ years ago. When that is not the case at all. I like when criticism at least has a clue. Sans that, it’s as worthless as another molecule of water in the ocean.

They remind me of people in North Florida who told me that messing around with computers was wasting my time, and that I should “do something real.”

Horsegirl Chat

Chill Music, Video, Video (other)

I have to like a band or an artist quite a lot just to listen to them talk. Horsegirl is one of those bands. They have wide-ranging taste, which is about what I expected given their sound and their sonic callbacks.

What’s up with the ridiculously-loud and super-repetitive background music, though? Bad producing choice. Perhaps to make up for the terrible mic.

No Know

Chill Annoying, Clowns

That used to be so damn mystifying to me. I’ve gotten the same thing dozens of times. Then I realized that people don’t even know what the internet is. Or the web. No idea. To them it’s just some crap that happens on their computer.

Back in the IE days, I sometimes got around this by telling users to “click on the blue ‘e’ where you go to see news and stuff like that.” That worked about 60% of the time. The other 40% I’d have to remote in or walk to their desk, turning a 10-second task into a half-hour task.

Good times.

Brainwipe

Chill Evil

I don’t know how anyone uses the internet on their phone. It’s such an incredibly miserable experience. Extensions don’t work, the screen is tiny, and everything is an ad or surveillance.

Y’all motherfuckers really think that is more “convenient?” You’ve completely allowed your brains to be wiped.

Aim To Misbehave

Chill Killin' It

I have an aversive, contrarian personality naturally. But growing up as I did made it far worse.

If someone is telling me what to do, I first assume it’s because they want to harm me. True for much of my life. This tendency to disobey is not always a benefit, but it has kept me out of situations others become all-too-easily ensnared in.

Overall it has helped me, but it’s a hard road to walk sometimes.

Lambent

Chill Regular-ass Post

Lamb roast is better than turkey, pork or any other meat for Christmas. Try it sometime. Trader Joe’s used to have it pre-marinated but we could not find it there this year.

That’s what we make nearly every year unless we’re on holiday — and it’s always delicious.
