Big corps are pushing evil passkeys more and more. I’ll be resisting as long as I can, but it won’t last forever.
The future kinda sucks.

Define Down
Goddamn, women really are trying to redefine rape to “someone hurt my feelings” or “did something I did not like.”
Nothing at all good will come of that, but was the inevitable evolution of #MeToo. (And by this definition most women will also have committed their perverse definition of “rape,” so not really sure they want to go down that path.)
No Lock
That’s right. Women do not understand men very well at all. Because they do not have to. Men very much do have to understand women, however, if they ever want to get a date, etc.
Thus, women often conclude (with no evidence) that men do things that women mostly actually do, but that in fact men rarely do. It’s 99% projection. “Locker room” talk? Almost all women. Bedpost notching (metaphorically speaking)? Mostly (but not exclusively) women. Women are even somewhat more likely to share intimate photos of their partners than men are. Which is pure evil if non-consensual, I might add.
Women know nearly nothing about men, generally speaking, and have nearly no empathy for men. It’s quite amusing when you realize that, and how much of what they “know for certain” about men is merely weird projection.
Stop Apo
What’s one thing men need to STOP apologizing for?
Having sexual desire.
Men are shamed for it both by women and men. And I won’t apologize for it ever again.
I like women and I like having sex with women. It doesn’t dehumanize them or me to want that, no matter what “feminists” claim.
untitled (halo) – sex
Supposedly, there is no good new music.
Meanwhile, this came out two days ago. And it is great.

Divergence
Exactly. 18 is where we’ve decided the dividing line is. Accept it or work to get it changed.
We should not treat one sex like they are children until they are 40. And if decide to do that (which seems to be the way a lot of women want it to go), we should work to get them declared minors with all that entails until that age.

Libi Cohen-Meguri, a 22-year-old infantry officer, went to the Nova music festival. She was shot while fleeing the party. At 8:11 a.m., she called her parents and said: “I’ve been shot in the stomach, I’ve been shot in the arm, I’m losing blood. I’m going to die. What a woman, and what a loss for all humanity (except Islamists, fuck them).

Break the Fight
Since it was too close to nuke, this is what should’ve been done to Gaza after October 7. The Israelis erred by not going down this path and will pay again in the future for that mistake. I hope Israel still manages to find the courage to do something like this soon.
Won’t Be Finding It
Correct.
There is, never has been, and never will be that damn ghost everyone is looking for. The only evidence will be what can be seen (apropos Wittgenstein). There is no secret hidden beyond that, no matter how much you wish there were.
The ghost won’t be found because it does not exist. Even worse, it cannot exist.
Shop
Going to the mall in the 90s wasn’t just about shopping—it was a cultural phenomenon.
The height of malls was actually in the 1980s, not the 1990s. Mall culture peaked then and began a slow decline, as even in the 1990s malls were already introducing anti-loitering and anti-young people rules and regulations to keep anyone who wasn’t immediately purchasing something out.
There were more total malls in the 1990s, but it didn’t feel the same as it did in the 1980s. There were already more options for entertainment and malls were evicting their own customers by that point (as mentioned above).
Applied It
In line with recent “feminist” declarations that they are able to revoke freely-made decisions retroactively, I hereby retract my decision to buy Applied Materials stock in 1999, on which I lost about $20,000.
In retrospect, I did not consent to buying that stock. I would not have done so had I known the outcome in advance. Someone owes me $40,000 (number inclusive of inflation). Whoever allowed this violated my consent by not making this stock purchase go exactly as I expected it to.
Users
I just had a user asking me to allow claude to have complete access to his Microsoft mailbox. I told him no since sensitive mails are often sent to the entire company including discussions concerning projects etc.
He went silent and then said … "but how do you use your mail then ?"
I had to explain to him that we old people used mail for decades without the use of an AI telling us what someone mailed.
He was genuinely baffled how you can just open Outlook and read a mail without asking Claude what someone had sent.
I see more and more of this type of thing.
Users have never understood much or been capable of achieving anything left unsupervised, but AI has certainly made it worse. And it’s only downhill from here in that respect.
Self Dest
A whole lot of Western Europe is in a now-irreversible self-destruct spiral due to inane and insane leftist policies, mostly related to immigration. It is not going to be pretty when the Islamists get hold of the UK and French nuclear weapons. That might occur sooner than I thought.
