This place is just for my random opinions on random stuff. I have a ton. It should be taken as mere entertainment rather than any sort of news source or whatever. Pages might grow off this as I feel like expounding on things. I also reserve the right to re-write this. I tend to sort subjects in quasi-alphabetical order. Yes, some is political, some is my hot take...don't like it...there's a back button somewhere on your Web Browser.

| Every last one of you kid diddling, day-drinking, bullshit spewing Tech Bros - ie Musk, Fuckerberg, Altman, Nadella, Gates, Cook, Pinchai, and whoever else - can GET FUCKED! So can all you dumbass politicians who don't even know where the power button is on your laptop let alone how to parent your own fucking kids! This is not even about kids, it's about CONTROL!!! AND WE KNOW IT!! Just so you know, I have no problem downloading the source code to "opensource" FreeDOS, and making my 486 my main computer after this. That machine is one of a few key in the "Analog Revolution" for me. I am NOT giving you my state issued ID just so you can tell me what I can and cannot see/say/do on the Internet! The 1st Amendment applies. And anyone who argues "UK"/"Brazil" - well, they can get fucked too (picks up a guitar and starts playing "Anarchy in the UK"). I have no problem becoming a "digital isolationist" if this comes to pass in my state. Then you'll find my internet activities VERY boring as I use a Flip Phone and use my 486 to make software I'll be distributing via physical media for REAL work.

| Analog Revolution
| I feel so validated in my collecting and working with old shit I can fix over the last 30+ years now, thanks a lot jackboot thugs, for just making me stronger. So when everything is a pay-for-use - I can just drop out of your so-called "system" to keep everyone poor, and bide my time till I die with good tunes, good games, good books, and good movies. Need new music? I got instruments, I don't need a fucking A.I. to make songs, and much the same with books, movies, and video games as well. I say keep your old cars, get some good quality, OLD, appliances you can fix, learn some science to go with it, and let's fight the corporations and planned obsolescence! Take the power and money from these fucks for ourselves.

| Andrew Tate
| Hoo boy, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. He was arrested by Britain in Miami in July of 2026. Sometime about eight years ago, this bald fuck kept appearing in all my social media and internet feeds for some reason. Because somehow, me being a self-motivated, married, woke, but personal defense oriented individual somehow means I want to join that acid-rain-filled-nightmare known as the "Manosphere". Nope, I made my own damn "sphere", and did a damn good job of it if I do say so myself. I don't need a human traffiking weirdo with a Bugatti obsession telling me how to be male. As far as I'm concerned, I'm more of a "man" than either him or his moron brother, or the Trumptard family that helped them out. So good riddance...hope they stay stuck in limbo in Europe for awhile. Now if only we could do that with those "Goth House" idiots.

| Anger (management)
| Some people think that Anger is inapropriate and should be nixed entirely. Some people feel that anger is a sign of weakness, or a sign of projecting your own issues on somebody, but fuck that noise. Anger is an apropriate response to people who should know full and damn fucking well what they should be doing, or how they should be acting, and they don't. I'm sick and goddamn tired of this anti-anger/toxic-positivity hippie-esque bullshit in this country. My life experience has been, holding back my anger just gets me walked over, expressing my anger pisses other people off - usually the deserving, and results in them leaving me the fuck alone! And at this point, I'm past 40, I really don't give a fuck what people think anymore. Like really don't. I'm embracing my inner curmudgeon. Need to know what I'm angry about...take a look around, it's all over this page. And you'll find I'm likely right in it, unless you're a nefarious criminal type.

| Boomers
| Out of touch, and I'm surprised anyone expects them to be IN touch. Remember, we grew up with these crazies, and even back then, they were in denial of our childhood experiences because it didn't match theirs. Very very few change, the rest tend to spend all their time saying "the world was always this way, and this way it shall remain". C'mon guys, they're OLD. I'm not defending them, I've just lost all hope that they, as a majority, will ever be IN touch with anything. The fix I have, is just start ignoring them, which isn't that hard. They'll be gone before you know it, and then it's going to be guys like me and the Feral gen Xers you're going to have to deal with. Expect a tsunami of cheap guitars and game carts Gen Z! I've evolved more in 10 years than some of these people have in 72!

| Celebrities
| Since the advent of the Epstien files and all the goofy shit going on, I've started suspending my belief that anyone rich or famous is worth listening to. The few that are, seem to be either Canadian, Japanese, LGTBQIA+, or female, with exceptions here and there. Personally, I think modeling yourself STAN-style after anyone is kinda' sick (and not the good kind). You should be learning relevant things for you from these people, and then coming up with your own version of it. It seems every other day we find out someone we once thought was great is either a philanderer, toxic person, r@pist, human traffiker, con-artist, or otherwise a scummlord. Plus, I feel by the time you hit middle age, you should already know yourself well enough to stop giving a fuck about these people outside a creative capacity for which you initially sought them out for - ie Musicians = Music, Actors = Movies, but beyond that, aspire to your own damn goals. I don't worship nobody, I do take advice and listen to experiences though, since those can be useful to make my own decisions, though I also keep some level of skepticism.

Citibank
More like "Shittibank"
| One thing I absolutley detest is lamestreamer consumertard "web portals" and "Apps", and the shittiest among them are Shittibank Visa. Because my lame-ass generation (Gen Y) thinks somehow that credit card = "free money" (There isn't anything free in this world, and if you think so, you're a dumbass), I was talked into it to get the fucker at Best Buy to shut up. I think I only bought a Monitor on it years ago in Seattle in an emergency (work related, very unusual situation - and I'm the KING of unusual situations). Seriously, every fucking month I pay the bills on the same damn day and it's on time for ALL of them, and this one has to be an extreme case of chasing a moving target to get my fucking bill paid because the website won't recognize my current password. It's hilarious because I know them for all of the pages I use yet this one gets fucked.

| Democrats
| There's two lines of Democrat as I see it...the Corporate ones - ie anti-gun, anti-war (but secretly pro war), pro-choice (until they spot an attractive lady - ie White Knights), pro-LGTBQIA+ (except if it's their own children), think Clinton was a sex symbol, and think Bernie Sanders is a crack. The other line is the actual progressives who are pro-gun (but don't make it our whole personality), anti-war (because 90% of it is just "my imaginary friend is better than yours" crap and "let's keep fossil fuels alive" crap), pro-choice (because it's HER body, not yours!), pro-LGTBQIA+ (even if it's your own kids), think of Clinton as yet another one of Epstien's cohorts, and are pissed at the DNC for screwing Bernie and just as mad about all the critique of Buttigeig and AOC. Do I consider myself one...not really sure to be honest, I don't like labels. But I'll be an ally as long as they are doing GOOD.

| Epstien
| I've always had a bit of a morbid fascination with the idea some richer-than-piss morons have secret societies where they fuck us all over, because it just seems life is artificially hard where it really should'nt be by concept, and I am a firm believer that humankind tries to get away with shit when nobody is being a form of oversight. The fact that a bunch of milionaires/billionaires/trillionaire all went to a secretive island owned by a rich man, and now we're finding out about dead kids, rape victims, human traffiking, and other atrocities committed by these repulsive reptiles only confirms that I don't trust anyone. And it's not a political thing, these people come from both sides of the aisle.

| Ford
| God you guys screwed yourselves. I remember when Quality was Job#1, and we could autonomously drive our vehicles in peace. Seriously, that period of 1987-1996 to me was Ford's heyday as an Auto maker. All those "Aero" era vehicles were some of the best damn products Ford put out, and almost all of them are still drivable in some way today. Especially the flagship cars like the Mustang, Explorer, F-series, Taurus, Bronco, Ranger, and Thunderbird. But when you want to install a stupid A.I. powered module and stop us all from fixing our own vehicles, I'm no longer giving money to your company, I'm giving it to someone else who agrees more with my values - like maybe Slate (let's see how good they are first). Once you start telling me I'm too "Angry" to drive, then fuck your cars and fuck you. And once you start paying politicians to push that agenda - you're dead to me! F-O-R-D - Fucked Over by Republican Dumbasses!

| Goth
| I find it very strange as a 42 year old man that "goth" is turning up in my feeds. I'm not sure if it's because I listen to a lot of Chameleons (which are sort of goth adjacent because they turn up in a playlist with Bauhaus, Siouxie, and The Cure quite easily), or if it's because I happen to be tailoring one of my algorithms to Democratic Socialist news as that's closest to my viewpoint at this point. I'm not sure weather to be disturbed, happy, or what to think TBH. Me and Goth have a very strained past with each other. I "sold out" to Nu-Metal in high school just to be in a band - any sort of rock adjacent band - and eventually the conversation, particularly around the time of Amy Lee/Evenessence, turned to copying goth culture - what I like to call "Hot Topic Goth", because it's probably not really Goth, but like I'm some kind of chancellor of fashion or somesuch shit!?!? But I got tired of it after awhile, only to find out I'm more goth adjacent as I got older apparently. And seriously, fuck the Goth House...I've had to ban and block on YouTube not once, but TWICE.

| Guns
| I am pro 2A. But there are some stipulations. First off, if you advertise your gun ownership, you're an idiot. Part of the reason for owning a gun, is sort of like a wide-area-network version of "Russian Roulette" for violent offenders. If they can't tell which house has the guns, then they are either just smart enough to know it's a bad idea, or they are stupid enough to FAFO and leave in a body bag. Not everybody should have them. Mental health and history of crime gets way under-noticed in the community because it means not everybody can have one then, and that pisses the small red hats off. Democrats fail at this because what they think you can just buy one like you're buying a slurpee at a Seven Eleven, and that somehow having a magazine that looks like a second "handle" makes it more scary therefore "more deadly". Meanwhile republicans fail because they feel every moron with a brain cell should be packing heat. Like all things, the truth lies in the middle. Owning a gun is taking on a very heavy responsibility, because you could have to use it to end a life someday in self-defense, but it's not as simple as that, since it's a process that goes from de-escalation to "Fire" with several points in between, some of which get skipped or observed depending on the situation. There's a lot more to it than feel-good range days.

| Humanity
| Humanity as of late has turned into a cesspool of selfish, self-righteous, hairless apes. People are poorly behaved EVERYWHERE! They can't drive, they can't have any self-awareness in public, they are lazy, they think screwing other people over for their own benefit is how to get ahead in life (well, it DOES work, but at what cost?). Religion promotes good behavior, but most of the people in it I've known in my life, mostly Christians, are some of the most philanderous, selfish, self-righteous, self-important, morally bankrupt people I've ever met. Our politicians are rich trolls looking for even more money when most of them should just fucking retire and golf their lives away! Our celebrities are faker than than a Ferrari Bodykit on a VW Beetle based kit-car with cups screwed into the hood to look like a supercharger. I go out in public and want to bitch slap parents, half the damn time because their kid is eating gummy bears off the floor of the store. Nobody can parent, few can lead, teh rest can't even follow. I pretty much consider our species doomed. As a result of this, I've given up caring if people think I'm an asshole even further so. You acted like a jackass and found out - that's YOUR problem.
|
| Internet
| A reflection of humanity through technology. A cesspool of unwanted ads, covering over half-written AI Slop, presented by a bot, and purloined from a real content creator somewhere that won't get the time of day from the Algorithm of whatever "platform" they are on because they actually are a real human, and not some kind of corporate programmed robot designed for revenue generation. I miss the OLD internet, the one where people - like me right here right now - wrote REAL web pages, from scratch, in HTML, with a passion for the subject matter, for free. I shall remain here at Neocities as long as they'll have me, and as long as the net doesn't get so god awful that I need to consider sitting armed in front of my door with a shotgun because some corpo-politico bullshit monster thinks my tiny little opinion or assistance to someone with less on something stupid liek guitars or old computers is a "problem".

| Religion
| Keep your magical skydaddies to yourselves please! I lived for 18 years in a Fascist Theocracy called "Alabama". If I had a dime for every time some predominantly white "clean cut" Baptist chose to tug at my coattails and selectively spout bible verses at me, I'd be rich enough to buy out whatever Elon is doing to the voting machines. And this doesn't just go for one sect either. Had many strange theocratical arguments with Catholics, Prespretarians, and even got a gender preference assuption from someone Messianic Jewish once. I'm just done with religion. And that one time I was talked into going to some "Landmark Forum" shit in Seattle, and saw that it reminded me of the average Southern Baptist Rapture Death Cult....that's all I see organized religion as - a CULT. And fuck Cults too.

| Slate Auto
| In 2021, I saw that a upstart US EV Auto company was looking at making a sub $20K (after rebates) totally electric modular pickup truck that looks somewhat like a cross between an old Bronco, a mutated Toyota Hilux, and has the footprint of my old Explorer from the early 90's. It has little/no digital garbage, and they support right to repair, and the user can tailor it with various "kits" and 3-D printed assemblies downloaded off the internet to make it unique. I'M IN!! Except I'm still following my own personal philosophy of "let's see what happens" when the first of these start to arrive on our streets in 2027. For starters, never buy a first year car, and secondly, Ford - yes, the company I used to champion (but no more) - took out patents on some technology that is federally mandated to be pushed to your car in 2027 to shut it off if they don't like the look of your face. FUCK THAT SHIT! If that's the case, I'll just drive my old "hooptie" till I die, and every one of you car companies can get fucked!
