Tankie porn… Eew…

A load of shit and a distraction from the Epstein scandal, is what that is.

If you’re not bothered by your conscience and you’re not worried about being put on trial after the Trump regime collapses, you can join the American Gestapo: they’ll give you all of $50k to leave your humanity at the door and turn into a beast, and ruining other people’s lives by kidnapping them in the street at gunpoint like a common thug isn’t really work.

Yeah, I realized the computer world was going down the drain when Scott McNealy inadvertently spill the beans on the industry’s true intentions in 1999, and a few years later, I quit programming entirely and changed career.

I still use computers because I have to, and I maintain a few open-source projects of little importance so I can say I’ve done my part. But mostly I’m busy avoiding computers and trying to maintain whatever shred of privacy I have left.

My first computer was an Altair.

It was a machine from a time when personal computers were a hopeful symbol of a better future for the whole of humanity. Tech bro sumbitches monetized that hope away, and now our future is an adversarial billionaire-feeding dystopia, promising more billionaires and more dystopia.

I’m old enough to retire soon, and I constantly feel someone took away the future I was promised as a teen. As a frustrated gen-Xer who generally had it good despite everything, I can’t imagine the kind of despair young people today are going through. At least I can remember the Altair, and that’s something.

How that fat wino ever got close enough to a woman to be in a position to assault her in the fisrt place is the most puzzling question in this case. What a repugnant man…

Food pedants aren’t gullible. They know full well water isn’t worth anything like the price it’s sold when it’s bottled. But they’re pedants: it’s their job to look sophisticated. They literally make a living out of talking bullcrap about food.

That’s why I said: if they want to pay silly money for water, they’re welcome to. What I oppose if ordinary people listening to them and getting taken for a ride next time they go out for dinner.

But I think reasonable people won’t fall for that one. It’s just too stupid on its face. And people who are too dumb to know water is just water, well… a fool and his money…

That’s a blatant scam for self-appointed restaurant critics and other food pedants.

Let them be scammed. Why not… I have nothing against taking money from fools, so long as they don’t convince reasonable people to do the same.

Just wait until he discovers that the truck has a battery and can charge the phone with the engine turned off. It’s gonna blow his mind.

If you went through school without learning anything, it means you’re a normal person.

Don’t worry too much. What you need from your school is a degree, not an education. You do your own education. The degree doesn’t mean you know anything: it only tells your employer you were patient and dogged enough to sit through boring classes and terrible teachers all the way through.

That’s the real value for your future boss: they like someone who can withstand and survive the idiocy of the workplace. You getting your degree is reasonable proof that you won’t be a snowflake and leave them hanging when the going gets a little tough.

But make no mistake: you know nothing out of school. Nobody does. All employers know that. The best you can hope to get out of school is the ability to learn all the rest quickly after you’re hired.
