Actually, it didn't take me 25 minutes to read this.

Also password management is easy. Just use "Password124567890" for everything. It's genuis because the 3 is missing. Therefore, if someone did guess your password correctly, no they didn't. They'd move on to less simple passwords, simply because you left off the 3.

It's TOO stupid to be real, and the brilliant twist makes it even better.

Ok, don't do a thumbs up. But also don't do a thumbs down either. Do one kind of halfway between up and down, where it's kind of pointing to the side.

We innitially wanted something where your fingers make the shape of a T, but as it turns out, it is really really hard to move your fingers into the shape of a T. Try it. It's akward, and painful, and it kinda sorta can be done....but also we hate it, so we decided on the thumb to the side thing. Easy to do, easy to read once you see it. That was the important part.

Oh, ok.

I remember when I was 17, my mom would hand me the phone whenever telemarketers would call.

I'd waste their time as a hobby. Sometimes I'd say my mom was on vacation in Jamaca, eating lots of blue flavored snow cones. Other times I'd say she was in the shower.

Either way, I'd start a counter to see how long they'd stay on the phone with me. My record was 2 hours 26 minutes. And my mom actually ended it. She came up and asked who I was talking to. I held up the hand signal for telemarketer.

She was in one of her pissy moods, so she grabbed the phone out of my hand, and screamed into the phone "THIS IS HIS MOM! WE DON'T WANT ANY!!!" and hung up.

To this day, I still believe I could have hit the 5 hour mark if she had just let me.

My reasoning was if they're talking to me, they AREN'T talking to someone who could be scammed.

2026-07-02T03:03:22Z

Ok, so it's 1993, and Dennis Nedry has been living/working on this island full of dinosaurs for the last 5 years. He's been frustrated with his pay rate for doing IT work debugging 2 million lines of code.

He's at a point where asking for a raise is look upon with deaf ears from his millionaire (which today would be billionaire) boss.

So he starts talking to a rival company. He accepts a job to steal all these vials of dino dna, to hand over to this other company which wants to build their own Jurassic Park. They have none of the research done, and this one move catches them up on 15 years worth of research.

So he writes a code, which disables security, on an island where the only think seperating you from beast is electricity. He shuts that off.

Now he's taken the vials, the dinosaurs are running wild, he's driving in the rain, and despite living here for the past 5 years, is uncertain where the docks are. He takes a turn too fast, crashes his car into the directions sign, and now he has no clue which direction to go. Worse still his jeep is now stuck in the mud.

And this is where it gets really stupid. Instead of trying to pull his jeep OUT of the ditch, he climbs DOWN a hill over a waterfall. This is not a dinosaur paddock, because there are no fences, but it is an artificial jungle area with plenty of trees.

He connects the rip cord from his jeep to a tree at the bottom of a waterfall, and the bottom of a hill.

Now lets pause for a minute. Let's say this island had no dinosaurs. He's just on an island, in a storm, stuck in mud. Lets say nothing stops him from using the rip cord.

His jeep would then pull itself towards a waterfall, and then roll down a hill. Best case scenario, it somehow ends up upright, and not on it's side.

It would still be stuck in the mud, but now it's also at the bottom of an unclimbable hill.

And remember, the boat is at the dock saying they leave in 15 minutes. All this time fussing with the rip cord, is all on the clock, which started back when he was in the control center BEFORE he turned off power, and stole the embrios.

Realistically, he's likely got 5 or so minutes to get to the dock in a storm where he doesn't even know which direction to go.

Dennis Nedry didn't fail because of a dilophosaurus. He failed because he was stressed, full of anxiety, had a half thought out plan, and no foresight to execute the plan.

Which is insane, when you consider he had no issue with the hard part. Writing the code to terminate security. Syncing up the code to your watch so you have an exact down to the second knowledge of when the camera turns off. And a way to slip out the building with a shaving can full of dinosaur dna vials. Once you get to the jeep, that SHOULD be the easy part!

Instead, he got lost on an small island with very few roads, that he should by this point know like the back of his hand.

Now for the kicker.

Not once in the movie did they ever say what his plan was to avoid legal actions.

Lets say he gets away with it. He can't do it again. It'll be obvious who did it by the next day. So what does he do? Would police not just arrest him, and extradite him to the united states to stand trial?

None of his plan ever had a chance of working.

2026-07-01T23:48:18Z

So a few days ago, I posted a message asking if this was even possible. I got Minecraft up and running on my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 without any microsoft account.

I only play single player, but maybe there is an unofficial server one of you host, that I could play on? I've never played Java edition before, so I never played online.

I'm also getting used to minor differences between Java and Bedrock. Like crafting items is so different. It's very akward with a controller. Took me a day or so to figure things out.

Also, are there SUPPOSED to be this many enemies when you first start? I was building my little survival dirt hut, and then when night time came, I counted 14 creepers. My hut kept getting blown up. I had no time to rebuild, because creepers survive the day, and for some reason were very glitchy at first. They were staying still until they saw me, then they'd fly at me like an enderman, only to instantly explode. No Hssss. Just instant bombing. 14 times in one day cycle.

I've got a bunch of torches around my house now. And I built a creeper disposal system. Shame they don't drop gun powder if they fall. Oddly enough, zombies still drop rotten flesh if they fall.

Still waiting on skelitons to fall into my trap.

Now I just gotta figure out an enderman disposal system, and a spider disposal system.

Also, the game says I've been here for 25 game days. I've yet to see a single animal besides octopuss. Is that normal?

Because billionaires make that impossible.

The CEO of starbucks lives in LA. The HQ of starbucks is in Seattle.

He COULD move the HQ to LA. He COULD buy a 2nd house in Seattle.

Instead he takes his own personal commercial jet DAILY from LA to Seattle, and back again. Every day.

There is a commercial jet that flies the skies, using up fuel, and burning through the atmosphere 365 days a year.

All because this fuckwit doesn't want to have a ZOOM meeting.

That's one billionaire. One. Now think of the fact that 1 billionaire on average creates more environmental damage than 1 million regular people combined.

And that's ONE. Now think of all the billionaires in the world. Combined.

And then there's America. I live in America. If I need something from the store, I'll walk. Yeah, it may be a 15 minute walk. Each way. But, c'mon. It's not that far. By the time you look for your keys, and open the garage, and start the car, and everything, you're looking at 5-10 minutes anyways. May as well just walk. I got a little wagon I use to carry all my groceries. It handles 750lbs.

Now, every car on the road, doing these short little trips. It feels like not much, but it adds up.

On top of all that, I have a theory that paved surfaces retain natural heat, and in the case of black tar surfaces, RAISE the heat.

As opposed to grass, which would lower it.

But billionaire or middle class, nobody wants to give up their ammenities. Even if the planet suffers. Guess we'll all just die in an inferno.

NES games were $80. Thats why most households usually only had 1-2 games.

It wasn't until resell shops came around that everyone sold their games, and bought 2-3 used games with that money.

Video gaming was unaffordable in the 80s too. I think if you compare lifetime sales of most NES games to most modern games, you'll find the trend was that if your game wasn't mario, it didn't sell all that well on the NES. Even Zelda in the early days had a rough start.

Whereas these days, the industry has grown so much due to keeping prices relatively stable for 40 years. So now consoles sell more, games in general sell 10x more.

Prop that price up and watch the sales fall.

So you hear 30 seconds of that song over and over and over. It has the same effect on me that radio songs before the 2000s did. You just never want to hear it again.

Then you're just sitting on the toilet like "I'm certain.....I'm certain......". Then you get mad that now you're singing the song.

2026-06-21T21:43:00Z

I'm currently playing "Cassette Beasts". Pretty fun game that takes the pokemon formula, and turns it on its head.

I will not play long and involved 300 hour games. It's too much. I want bite sized games.

The internet said this game is 25 hours long. Except thats bullshit. There are 130 monsters. I've caught 16. I've been playing for 17 hours. I don't know if this game has "gym leaders". But if they do, I haven't seen them yet.

I have no bad words about the game, other than the fact that it takes 10 minutes (I timed it) to go from not yet opening the game, to get to a title screen. It also crashes pretty regularly. Meaning you gotta wait 10 minutes AGAIN.

But the point is, I've barely scratched the surface of this game, and I'm approaching the time period where most people have beaten games.

Am I just bad at games?

2026-06-07T03:38:51Z

Ok, so I won't bore you with the back and forth details that led up to this. The important thing to know is that I needed to talk to a human at the IRS to ask a very simple question that would take just a few minutes to look into.

Me trying to call for 3 days dozens of calls dealing with this shit. I eventually figured out how to prompt the AI to let me push buttons to reach menus.

After all that I plotted out what each option does.

ALL OF THEM either lead to a pre-recorded message that says to visit the website, OR attempts to transfer you, before telling you there are no agents taking calls for that option.

Eventually, I wondered what would happen if I said to the AI agent "TAX FRAUD".

Boom. Straight through to an agent.

I feel bad for lying to the hotline, but also, I was left no valid options to talk to a human. Once I said tax fraud, my issue which I had spent probably 100 calls in 3 days trying to get through, was over in 10 minutes. And 6 of those minutes she put me back on hold to research my issue.

2026-05-14T08:05:53Z

So I was just on Youtube, and I saw the suggested videos. Now, about 6 months ago, I was doing a LOT of research on retro handhelds.

I eventually settled on the Retroid Pocket Flip 2. The thing about retro handhelds though, is that 3 new handhelds have been released since I started this sentence. There's a LOT of handhelds out there. Like.....a LOT a lot. So in order to figure out which one to buy, I became a regular viewer of channels like Retro Game Corps, and TechDweeb. Even today, I'm not in the market for a new handheld. I JUST bought one a year ago. But I still watch new videos. I try to keep in the know on the industry as a whole. That Ayn Thor is looking SUPER sexy. I genuinely think I made a mistake in buying the Flip 2. I see the Ayn Thor, and I think "Oh god.....look at it....."

All I'm saying is, if you look at a woman the way I look at Ayn Thor videos, you'll get slapped. Probably by everybody in the immediate area. But I do love my Flip 2. I have to. I have what I have, and I have to make due with what I have. Thing was like $430 once you include all the accessories. I can't just do that AGAIN a few months later just because a new one came out. They come out dozens every month.

And so that's when I saw this youtube video title.

"I sold my Retroid Pocket 5 for the Retroid Pocket GS". I am floored. Can you believe this asshole? He sold his RETROID POCKET 5 TO BUY A RETROID POCKET GS!!!! See, this is the clickbait bullshit that's youtube has succumb to! I am not clicking that video, despite having a complete understanding of why that statement is insane!

And this is the moment that I realize that most readers will not understand what I'm talking about. Let me explain.

See, the Retroid Pocket 5 came out about a year and a half ago. It is a very capable device. If the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 hadn't been released the week after I started researching, I was absolutely GOING TO buy the Retroid Pocket 5. Then they announced the Retroid Pocket Flip 2. I hadn't bought anything yet, and I knew I wasn't getting the Retroid Pocket 5 anymore. It was all about the Flip 2. That's because the Retroid Pocket 5 is a standard handheld shape. Kind of like the PSP, or the Vita, or the original GBA. It had that same form factor. Then, they took literally the exact same handheld. Same motherboard. Same screen. Same buttons. Same ram. Same EVERYTHING. And they instead put it in a clamshell design. Like the DS, but with 1 screen only. But it still closes. Other than form factor, literal exact same handheld. As long as you got the snapdragon 865 version....but we won't go down THAT rabbit hole.

Instead, the relevant bits are that The Retroid Pocket 5 came out Sept 2024. The Flip 2 came out March 2025. And then on Oct 2025 they released the Retroid Pocket GS.

So, what is the Retroid Pocket GS? Well.....it uses the same shell as the Retroid Pocket 5. Same screen. Same buttons. Slightly faster processor. Very slightly. And instead of 8GB of ram, I think it has 12GB. I'd have to double check that. I may be wrong with how badly this ram price situation has gotten. I refuse to call it a shortage. There's plenty of ram in stores. It's just that it's priced in a way that no one is willing to pay.

So let me get this straight. This guy buys the Retroid Pocket 5. Then wants the Retroid Pocket GS. Like me, he can't afford to constantly buy new handhelds for $200+. But unlike me, he makes a go of it anyways. So he sells his perfectly capable Retroid Pocket 5, to get a Retroid Pocket GS??? Well guess what. The Retroid Pocket GS came out in October 2025. Guess what came out January 2026. Oh yeah. We're talkin the Retroid Pocket 6! THAT'S RIGHT BABY!!! FULL SEQUEL!!!!

This is a major jump from the Pocket 5. This is a major jump from the Retroid Pocket GS. It was also announced that it was coming.

Meaning the ONLY people who should have any reason to buy the Retroid Pocket GS, are people who are buying it as a holiday gift for someone else in the timeframe between October 2025 and December 2025. Otherwise just wait the extra one month, and get the full upgrade.

I mean, I would TOTALLY sell my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 for an Ayn Thor. Difference is, that would never work. The model I want is $550. The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 brand new is like $229. There is zero way for me to sell my Retroid Pocket Flip 2. and buy an Ayn Thor. So I guess this is getting me angry for two reasons.

1) This guy thought it was worth it for such a trivial upgrade, KNOWING he has to set up the Retroid Pocket GS, which he's already done with his Retroid Pocket 5. Retro Games Corps has a video showing you how to set up your brand new Retroid Pocket 5. It is an hour long. It has received TWO follow up videos. One is 45 more minutes. The other 37 MORE minutes. All to set up and organize emulators and rom files to play old video games. Now imagine doing that process AGAIN a few months later, just so you get a slight performance boost.

And

2) Who is buying a used Retroid Pocket 5 a year after launch, for equal price as a new Retroid Pocket GS? Who is THIS asshole just browsing ebay looking to waste money? Why can't I find this sucker? I could buy a package of 24 rolls of toilet paper.....use 3 rolls, and sell him a 21 roll pack of toilet paper for the price I paid for the 24 pack. This guy is out there. He exists,. Who IS this guy??? Does he hate cheese???

And now that I think about it, there's the distinct possibility that this youtuber exists soley TO make these videos. Where the real purpose was to document the process to make a youtube video. Which would then insinuate that he doesn't care about video games at all. He doesn't care about the performance boost of the Retroid Pocket GS, or the fact that the Retroid Pocket 6 was announced the same day, but would release later with a substantial improvement. It was never about the performance. It was about making a video. To make money. Which means really this guy is just wasting everybody's time! And you know what? I can relate. I do that a lot. I waste everybody's time. I'm just not getting paid for it. Give me money! Money me now!

Just think.

Right now at your local hardware store are tons of tools you can buy. If you need to cut something, you can buy a saw.

And when you use the saw, the word "saw" is the verb of how you use the noun. So you'd use a saw to saw.

And if you had an instinct to cut a saw in half, you might use a second saw to cut the first saw in half.

But you wouldn't do that. YOU have no desire to do that. But maybe someone else does. And maybe you just happened to bear witness to the cutting of the saw. You will have seen it. And since thats now in past tense, you saw it happen.

In which case you will have saw a saw saw a saw.

They aren't counting my second job because I've worked it 17 months, and they require it to be 24 months.

Thenthey tell me that they need 75% debt ratio as a down payment. Meaning if a house were 100k, and I make $0, then I'd need 75k down payment. But since they're only counting my first job, that's only 20k.

So on a 100k house, I'd need 55k down payment. Since 75k minus my 20k salary is now 55k. Not only do I not have 55k, but also the houses I want are in the 130-160k range.

Now I fully understand why everybody is negative towards him getting this care. And I fully get why everyone hates his existence completely.

That being said, if Giuliani never did anything after his mayoral term, he would be fondly remembered today. There was a time when he was remembered as the hero that held NYC together during and after 9/11. If he just stayed out of politics after that, and was only remembered the 9/11 mayor, he would actually have a legacy worth remembering.

But he didn't. He got back in the spotlight. He did everything wrong after that. He's become an embarassment, and a joke. He's basically a grifter at this point.

HOWEVER......he was still present at many 9/11 media sites, including the site of the destroyed towers in the days when asbestos was still in the air.

It took Jon Stewart to get this program approved. I'm unclear if Giuliani stood against it. I don't think he did. But regardless, if anyone deserves this program, it's the first responders. After that, second in line should be medical staff that helped during 9/11. After that would be Giuliani. I feel he should be low on the priority list, but still on the list. He DID do a lot to help NYC at that time.

With all that out of the way, I feel like everybody should have 100% free healthcare at all times.

Whats weird is, unrelated to the pandemic, I always buy the massive pack of toilet paper. I think it's like 28 rolls. And I had bought that JUST before all the panic. It's just how I naturally do this. Buy the big one, and like a year later it runs out.

Then the panic starts, and my mom calls, and says "I was out shopping and picked you up some toilet paper, in case you need it!"

"Oh, I'm good. I just bought some."

"Just take the damn toilet paper! These shelfs are empty! You don't know when you'll get some!"

Gives me ANOTHER of the same size I just bought.

Then my dad calls.

"Hey, I know you sometimes have trouble finding time to go grocery shopping, so I got you some toilet paper. These stores are going crazy!"

"Oh, no no. I have more then enough."

"I already bought it, and I don't think you can return toilet paper."

Gives me a 16 roll pack.

Then my sister calls.

"Heeeeeey, I was out at Costco earlier, and these stores are running out of toilet paper. Luckily I got each of us a 60 roll pack."

"Nooooooo.......I have so much as it is! Mom AND dad gave me a bunch."

"Well I don't have room in my house for all this! I got one for you, and one for (other sister), and one for mom!"

*gives me 60 more rolls*

Then my other sister calls.

"Heeeeey, so (first sister) got me 60 rolls of toilet paper. I don't like the costco brand. So I'm giving it to you."

"You know she already got me one, rigUS #+
"Well I don't like it. So now its yours."

*gives me ANOTHER 60 rolls*

Then my aunt called.

"Hey do you need toilet paper?"

"NO!"

"Geez, don't get mad at me! I'm just helping you out. Take this, and only use it for emergancies."

*gives me a 4 roll pack*

I still have a decent amount of toilet paper. Both 60 packs remain unopened. I haven't looked in that closet to see exactly where I am, but I think I'm at like 60% unused.

2026-05-05T06:45:12Z

So, I'm 42. I have excellent memory of my childhood through today. I don't remember every single moment. I'm not rainman. But I do remember the general jist of things from my own perspective at the time.

I'm not sure when it happened. Maybe it's always been this way, and I'm just noticing it in the last 10 years. I have noticed that there is an owners class, and literal sheep. I see record labels DECIDE what will be the next big hit single. I see them DECIDE who will be the next big superstar. Taylor Swift is absolutely manufactured. If AI were more advanced, I'd even believe she were totally AI. But as it stands, she's a woman, who billionaires DECIDED will be a big deal. And so she is. She became such a big deal, that she herself is now a billionaire. I often hear that billionaires only exist because of exploiting others labor. I think Taylor Swift accidently fell into a loophole. To my knowledge, very few humans were actually involved in making her popular. It was more so the customers voluntarily giving their money in exchange for music. Whether that's concerts, or MP3/CD's, or any other way you can pay to hear her music.

And then I start thinking about what is different between my childhood and today? Music wise, not much. Different performers. Different genres. Different audiences. But essentially running on the same business model. Taylor Swift today, Micheal Jackson in 1985. Britney Spears in 1998. So, what other aspects of life may be different?

And I think of my old childhood family TV. To anyone younger out there, there was a time when your whole house had 1 TV. No internet. Internet didn't exist at all. Your house had 1 TV, and the whole family had to share it at all times. Today, TVs are appliances. In the 80s, TVs were furniture. This thing was like 4 feet wide, and wooden. The screen occupied half of the panel. Think of the 50% on the middle as the screen. Then 25% to the left was a set of 2 speakers each above and below each other. And 25% was to the right of the screen, with the same setup as the left. Also on the right was a bunch of buttons. Power, Channel up, channel down, volume up, volume down, and menu.

Today, TVs are like an inch thick, and a 80' TV weighs 2 lbs. Back then you needed like a 4 man crew to move a 25' TV. You all joked around that it'd have been easier to just steal the forklift from work....and then obviously bring it back. Do it on the weekend when the plant was closed.

Yeah, back then factory jobs existed, and fed a family of 4 on one mans salary moving heavy things. Today, you gotta work like 4 jobs to live in a studio apartment.

But right now, it just feels like every aspect of life, is just getting shittier and shittier every 5 years. Plus it compounds! Which means each downgrade is permanent! 9/11 was 25 years ago, and TSA, which was originally intended as a temporary thing while investigations ran, is STILL in our airports! And they never even know WHEN they're getting paid, because first the government creates them. Then the government mandates them. And now, if the wind blows wrong, the government shuts down for 2 months, 4 months, and all the while telling these guys "FUCK YOU FOR EXISTING! NO PAY FOR YOU! DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE'RE THE ONES WHO MAKE YOU EXIST! WE JUST DON'T WANT TO PAY YOU! NOW SHOW UP TO WORK TOMORROW, DICKHEAD!"

And then people wonder why the TSA experience feels like a bunch of people pissed off at all times.

But what if I WANT a furniture TV? Like, YOU can still have your flat 4K lighter than air TV, but what if I want to tie my room together? TVs have no style anymore. It's just black rectangle. Zero personality. You look at a TV from the 80s, and you think "Holy shit, look at that thing!"

And that's what you do to TVs. You look at them. That's why they exist. So why make them LESS visually appealing? It's because we all need to have the same experience. We all need the same phone experience. It's either apple or android. It's not like politics. There CAN be more than 2. But there's not. Go on. Try to buy a blackberry, or a windows phone. I dare you! See how far that gets you.

But in the 80s, yeah, cell phones weren't really a thing, but for the select few that did have them, they were very different from each other. And into the 90s, you started getting like 10-20 different phone manufacturers. There was choice. There was personality. Now it's just "Here's the phone. Buy it asshole! We've made it mandatory in your life now whether you want it or not. Don't have a cell phone? Good luck surviving socially in the modern era, or even applying for jobs now."

It just feels like the experience we get in life today isn't a choice at all of what we want to do with our lives. We work multiple jobs, don't get to have a social life, and we get told which products to buy, which music to listen to, even if we're not listening to it. I know SO MANY SONGS just from being in public spaces. Because all places at all times need music playing. Not indie music, no. It's the same artists everywhere. Millions of bands and artists in the world, but in any given year, you'll only hear these 40 or so acts. So maybe 100 different songs for the year? Which sounds like a lot, but it's not. Not when you have to hear them EVERYWHERE you go.

Getting a haircut? Song.

Grocery shopping? Song.

Resteraunt? Work (depending where you work)? Even hospitals.

And I gotta be honest about television. I have no idea what the current trends for television are. I mean, I assume the answer is "streaming", but I don't know any of the modern shows. I stopped watching TV about 15 years ago. I saw this show on TV called "Deal or No Deal". It is the most asinine concept for a game show I ever saw. You just randomly point to briefcases trying to eliminate the smallest amounts with ZERO skill. Like, none at all. It's just pick a random number.....ok, this amount is now gone. And you as a viewer have zero way to root for these people. Yay, you're better at picking random numbers than the previous episode of the exact same bullshit! Like.....what?

So I decided that I put two and two together there, and decided that TV is pissing me off, and my TV has an off button. So I can't comment on TV these days, as I refuse to watch. But even not watching I know that someone keeps rebooting EVERYTHING and it never works. Everything I hear is like "People are excited for the new That 70s Show reboot!" and like 6 months later I read "The reboot is done. Everybody is fired. We're done. The show sucked."

And it's like this for every reboot I read about. Excitement before the debut. Then an absurdly short time later the show is done, and everybody hates it. Then you start seeing these youtube recommended videos like "Why did the Full House show fail? Click here to listen to some asshole talk about things you don't care about".

So think about that. I don't watch TV, yet I have a vague understanding of what's going on for a service I haven't seen. That very much feels like a result of everything being a controlled experience. I'm MEANT to know about these things, even if I've never seen it. So it becomes unavoidable. You experience what the owners deem profitable for you to experience. Rather then just the world exists, and you exist, and other things happen, and maybe you're there to see it, maybe you aren't, but either way you're living life. You're living a life. You're living your life. But you're not living the life. As in, the standard default life that everybody has to live.

I don't think people are as free willed anymore as is healthy. I don't think people today grasp the fact that when you're 70, you're not going to give a shit if you put numbers in a spread sheet, or replaced the coffee filter 30 years ago. Sometimes you need to just go to the park. Just call work and say "Hey, I saw a cool cloud, and I'm going to follow it." And just be happy you got to see a cloud for 45 minutes. And then grab a tea. Just to let your mind relax. Not your body, but your mind.

Nope! We gotta remain under lock and key with our schedules, stress levels to the max, political barrages from every angle, while your ability to survive is always no more then a 2 week interruption from having serious consequences in your life. So you can't say no. You can't chase a cloud. You have to do what they say, how they say, when they say, and experience it how they want you to experience it.

And I just want a cool living room with a cool furniture TV, and for society to collectively develop unique opinions.

I've done both. What's even better is walking out on a job midway through the shift at 2am, knowing your boss is a sound sleeper and won't wake up even for emergancy calls.

So for one glorious night in 2009, a Circle K at 2am had the doors wide open, no one around working there, and no one answering the call to come in.

And now that I think of it, I'm not even sure who WOULD call her.

All I know is I came in at 11pm, started my shift, and looked at next weeks schedule. I had no hours listed. I didn't know if they were firing me, or just forgot. Either way, I just started doing my job as the only person on duty. I waited until the absolute dead of night, and I left.

I didn't steal anything, but I didn't lock the doors either. I left. Whatever they lost is on them. They treated me like shit for 2 months, and then post a schedule with my hours blank. Fuck all of that! Especially since I worked Christmas eve/night and New years eve.

So when I saw that schedule blank, I thought I should walk out at that moment. Then I instantly realized all I would be doing is punishing the day girl. She gets off at 11pm, and the boss would have made her stay. So, I waited. I assumed I'd get checked up on. A phone call to explain things, or even make sure I'm still there.

Nope.

The boss really just assumed I'd wait until morning when she came in to get fired.

They tried threatening legal action, saying I was responsible for everything stolen. That held no water, and is the exact reason I didn't steal anything on my way out. The police told me, when he came to my house that if they had video of me stealing, then I could have been charged with that theft as a primary crime, and then they would have added all following thefts to me. But with no evidence showing I stole anything, they had no case. It felt like the cop was basically lecturing me because now he had complicated paperwork to fill out, and it'd be easier if he could just arrest me.

I'm a fan of Batman, but the whole Batman concept doesn't work anymore.

Bruce Wayne is the 1%. Batman is working with the police. In the 40s, the police were thought of as "the good guys". Today, I'd rather be stuck in a dark ally with the Joker than the cops.

To me the whole premise no longer plays. I'd like to see a more adult Batman adeptation which plays into modern viewpoints.

Superman just did this brilliantly in the movie last summer. Batman could still be the same. HE thinks he's the good guy. But he's still Bruce Wayne, the 1%.

The cops would act as actual cops do. Corrupt. Cover for each other. Essentially the only legal gang in gotham, but just that. A gang.

Gordon can be an elder cop. The good one amongst the corruption of the other cops. Despite being chief of police, he still doesn't have the ability to control the whole force.

And each of the major villians control their own gang. Except for Bane, who's basically just a 1 man army. And Killer Croc, who's basically just a mutant. Not evil per se, but just an animal. Just like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. Not a villian, but still a deadly threat if encountered.

Sorry, I like Alfred as an old man mentor/caretaker roll. I always thought they should have made a movie where Alfred was dying, and it emotionally distracts Bruce from being Batman. Thus causing the city opinion to turn heavily against Batman. Thinking he's just letting chaos happen and working with the corrupt cops.

Now I realize that this particular crowd largely isn't the same as the idiots who were on reddit in 2015.

That being said, reddit AI bots banned me.

So now I can't post on reddit, to rub their faces in it. But essentially, I was telling people to protest the government trying to end net neutrality.

This is not the same thing as ending the net nuetrality laws. I'm refering to the concept of net neutrality, which means that the entire internet is just a series of dumb connections. 100mb worth of data is the same if its 100mb worth of video, or text, or pictures, or software, or whatever. 100mb is 100mb.

But then one of the ISP companies wanted to start throttling all data speeds across all connections, unless it was one of their affiliates. In which case it got "fast lane" service. Which really was just regular non-throttled service.

So then the FCC made it a law that net neutrality was a law.

So now the concept, which had existed since the creation of networks, was now also a law.

Then a few years later, that law was dismantled. And with it, they snuck in a second bill that made it legal for companies to sell your data, without your consent. Something that was previously illegal since the 90s.

So while this in itself isn't a net neutrality issue directly, I can remember telling people to protest the dismantling of net neutrality because if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile.

I was told on reddit I was over reacting. That the internet would still work "just like it did before net neutrality". While they couldn't see the future, because they didn't even understand the situation. There was a time before net neutrality was law....there was never a time before net neutrality was a concept.

And so now, here we are, 10-15 years later. I know you guys aren't the crowd that laughed at net neutrality, but I just have to get this out of my system.

SEE??? I TOLD YOU SO!!! YOU SAID I WAS CRAZY THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD START DETAILED DOCUMENTED CASES ON EVERY CITIZEN IN THE WORLD! YOU SAID I WAS OVERREACTING THAT THERE WOULD BE SECRET POLICE WHO IMPOSE FASCIST ORDERS AND ARREST PEOPLE FOR POSTING ONLINE!!! YOU SAID AMERICA WOULDN'T STOOP TO SUCH LOWS JUST BECAUSE OF ONE LITTLE ACT. WELL LOOK AT THE COUNTRY NOW!!! DO I SEEM CRAZY? OR DO I SEEM SANE IN A CRAZY WORLD??? I SAW ALL THIS SHIT COMING YOU ASSHOLES!!! WE COULD HAVE PREVENTED ALL OF THIS TOGETHER!!! WE COULD HAVE HAD MASS DEMONSTRATIONS LETTING THE GOVERNMENT KNOW WE WERE WILLING TO FIGHT AND DIE TO NOT CHANGE OUR INTERNET, BUT NOOOOOOOO! YOU KNEW BETTER THAN I DO, SO THAT NEVER HAPPENED! EVER HEAR OF THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT??? WELL NOW YOU'RE LIVING IT, PAL!

And while yes, that rant was meant for redditors circa 2015, I have something new to tell all of you.

Buy guns. Lots of guns. Registered guns. With tons of ammo. Stock up now. Don't buy 100 guns. You don't want to be profiled as emotionally deranged. But you DO want the government to know you're armed.

Because I'll tell you how this new threat AI goes. The elite know they're the problem with climate change. The elite know they're making it worse with AI. The CEO of Starbucks lives in L.A., but has the company HQ in Seattle. Instead of moving to Seattle, or moving the HQ to L.A., he instead had daily meetings in Seattle. And has daily flights on a personal commercial jet that flies every day, LA to Seattle, and then Seattle to L.A.

He knows what he's doing. He knows he could stop at any time. He could do zoom meetings. He could set up an office in L.A. He could buy a second residence in Seattle. So many options. He CHOOSES to make the problem worse. Why? Why does he insist on doing things the absolute most unhealthy way possible, with no clear benefits? Because he knows, what I already know.

20+ years agoscientists were saying we were approaching the line of no return. We needed to change our ways, and reduce pollution globally. We did not do that. Now we've crossed that line of no return. There is no fixing this.

That's why republicans aren't pro-life or pro-choice. They're pro-birth. They know that within the next 20 years mass death will be inevitable. So they want the next generation of wage slaves to support their habbit, but as it happens, birth rates are slowing. Even with banned abortions birth rates are the lowest they've ever been in modern history. The generation that is not born yet, and will really take their prime in 30 years is set to be spread too thin to support society as we know it.

So if you can't force extra human births, you try to set up an automated society with AI that runs everything. But if AI does all the work, then what do the plebs do?

Well we kill them, obviously.

That's the ultimate path all of this leads down. I'm not even sure ANYONE is in charge at this point. You got so many so called leaders and string pullers, that nobody realizes the strings are all tangled, and nobody controls anything. It's just all chaos, and at this point they're planning for a world which should be obvious.

Today we have about 8 billion people worldwide.

They're planning for a world where the global population would be measured in millions. They're planning our deaths. They're speedrunning that plan with the idea that if we globally cut down on humans, we globally cut down on human pollution.

So buy yourself about 5 guns, and every year, buy ammunition, but don't use it.

When the governments use their databases for houses without registered guns, you don't want your name popping up on the "easy to kill" list. Nobody has used a nuke in war since 1945, but nobody invades countries with nukes either. Having the weapon is the protection. If they know you have it, they'll find an easier target.

And once the movement takes place, they'll shut down gun factories, abolish new registrations, and ban new sales. So if you buy your guns now, while they're legal, you won't be an easy target. You still won't be safe, but you also won't be a target.

This is all stuff nobody seems to see happening, but it's the clear obvious endgame.

I don't feel at all like I'm the smartest person in any given room, but lately I feel like the movie idiocracy. Where I'm just some average guy, and the rest of the world is letting AI do their thinking for them. The end result is, crops won't grow, because the lot of you are trying to water them with gatoraide. Top scientists in the country are so blinded by why science fails them, never realizing it's because gatoraide controls the farming industry, and helps write the laws to ensure further grasp of control. Regardless of results.

And everybody else just goes with it. What will happen in the future? Click this article to read about it! Answer: No one knows what would happen if you water plants with water.

Here is how the AI experiment plays out.....

Corporations cling and force this stuff down our throats, despite it not working. They do this for 2-3 generations to normalize it. With time and tech advancements they continue to develop it.

They keep using it where people don't push back. Which for AI, is most things. I don't see a major pushback on google including AI in search results. I don't see a major pushback from MOST people on AI being in every element of Windows 11. I see people here hating on microsoft, but linux users are like 4% of the market.

So they continue using the stuff people don't rock the boat over, while not improving services. Eventually they get more and more of these AI services in every aspect of your life.

The one place they spend all their effort improving is survailance. Watching you watch yourself, and sending them the data.

Alexa could listen for "Hey Alexa" or it could listen for sneezing. Then send that information to HQ where they can now sell that data, that you sneeze 37 times per day in the spring, or 3 times a day in the winter.

Now your insurance rates go up for allergy medication before you even see your doctor.

Thats just one example. Like one dot of a painting of millions of dots. But it all starts with people who don't have critical thinking skills. They just don't even question why TVs in the 90s were expensive, but by 2020 they were basically free.

So they buy their cheap smart tvs, and smart fridge, and everything else. Happy as can be. Not even realizing that its all just corporations bringing us closer and closer to 1984.

And in 30 years, not having a smartphone will be illegal. Not having a trackable device with you 24/7 will be illegal. They'll justify it by saying "think of the children!". And people will fall for it, yet again. Just as they always do.
