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.

Age Verification at the O/S Level
We all know it's not "for the children", it's about control!
| 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've been preparing for this my whole life!
| 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
Let that "Manosphere" b**** rot!
| 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)
Let's see you watch the current news, pass a Kidney Stone at work about an hour in, didn't bring your lunch because you feel like crap and the window to "call in" passed while you slept (2 hours before), and you don't feel like dealing with idiots...so you'd rather suffer...yeah, it's justified!
| 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.

Antinatalism
If you love your children, I'd wait until another lifetime to have one if I were you.
| I loved my crotch Goblins enough not to have them. Before age 25, I would have been all about being a family man like the rest of this crazy low-key 3rd world country we live in now. By about 25, the dating scene, workplace trauma, dealing with people in the music scene, putting up with stupid people, and not trusting companies (it goes back that far) lead me to the decision that maybe not having kids was probably a good idea. I think human kind is reaching the end of it's lifecycle, and it'd be a better idea to prevent suffering than contribute to it to keep up with the joneses and/or be able to talk to your friends in whispers at the water cooler about your messy sexual behavior. I'm not one of those David Benatar weirdoes, my view is more practical. I'd change my view if society got better and humanity proved it could break free of the greed, lust, stupidity, and superficial surface-based ways of thinking about everything. But as long as it costs $100000, bullies get passes while victims get punished, and our "system" is so fucking broken I'd be better off living in a cave in the Arctic in a lot of aspects- even as a luckier person than many - then no, kids are a hard pass.

Apple
Sort of like the "Talking Heads" of computerdom, and Steve Jobs was David Byrne...
| Don't get me wrong, I like the Talking Heads music, but Apple is sort of the official product of the "I have more money than I know how to use a computer with" sort of pretentious product line. It's it's own walled garden that traps you into their software. Apple only really sucks to me in two or three major ways: 1.) Fanboyism of most Apple users... 2.) Updates take 1000000 more years than anything Microsoft puts out and 3.) GarageBand only works on Apple products with apple operating systems. Otherwise, it's kinda' a close cousin to Linux. It's "free" if you have an Apple device, some of the software is free or has a free version (if you're willing to wade through a store full of pay-to-play software), but they also are very nitpicky WHO can make software for their platform. Also, all the file formats are different, and people forget that.

Beauty STandards
If I ever were to use the word "genocide" in a sentence, it'd be for the entire Fashion industry
| One of the unfortunate side effects of living in a household that's predominantly female in the eighties and nineties is having to hear all the distress women have to feel over their bodies. And we're only just uncovering now that MEN have the same issue too. Especially ANYONE in TV, Music, or Movies - basically any part of Hollyweird. Fat Shiming, Thin Shaming, advertisements that tell you you'll be more attractive if you buy this product or do this expensive and stupid thing that will probably land you a bizzare and damaging medical condition in the long run. I HATE THE FASHION INDUSTRY!!! I wish everyone just wore what they were comfortable with and stopped worrying about it, and minded their own fucking business...because you know what, everyone likes something different! And I'm tired of this shit like "your type is" which is about as negotiable as a used guitar at a garage sale. Maybe it's time everyone just did whatever the fuck they want, and fuck the industry.

Boomers
More superlatives than a high school yearbook, and none of them are true - also like a High School Yearbook!
| 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
Just because people are rich, doesn't mean they know "everything"
| 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.

Climate Change
Too late, too bad, so sad.
| I used to think it was something that started in the 1980's because they were pushing this - of all places - in East Alabama schools in the late 80's/early 80's. Turns out it's been going on far longer but nobody wants to listen to nature in the name of progress. I'm with George Carlin - yes a comedian - but someone with an actual fucking brain - on this one. First off, the Earth isn't going anywhere - WE ARE! The earth can outlive our flesh and blood driven virus, just as much as it lived through multiple eons of creatures who lived and then died out, because they were too flawed to continue to exist in this environment. But if we, as a species, collectively REALLY Wanted change for this, we would have made a concerted effort already. We would already be using alternative fuels, not killed people who invented alternative fuels to keep the oil industry alive! We would already have figured out how to separate various elements in recycling. We would already have started taxing the fuck out of big industry for all it's waste decades upon decades ago. It's over, we did it, just hope you die before everyone else has to hit the big one. The line into the afterlife is going to be much longer by then, about like summertime at the DMV - if there even is one.

Cobain's Death
So what IF he is actually murdered...then what? Are YOU going to trade souls so we can get another Nirvana album? What fowl necromancy do you have in mind!?!?
| Look, I'm a huge Nirvana fan, Cobain's death hit me pretty hard because I was only into the band 3 months when he died. I've stopped even caring if it was a suicide or a murder at this point because reopening the case and finding out what happened doesn't fix anything. Sometimes in life, you don't get closure. This is one of those times. At this point, the only way I'd be willing to see the case reopened, is if it had something to do with the Epstien files, as that seems more likely than a bunch of drugged up musicians killing a man over a divorce and a tour date, and someone has been mentioned IN those files. Maybe Kurt would have outed those fuckers 30 years early and taken off to another continent...but I don't know, as it currently stands, I'm rather sick of hearing about it. I'd rather remember the music at this point to be honest.
|
College
Yet another reason besides healthcare that America's gatekeeping is keeping it's populace down
| I believe too much emphasis is put on this place of learning, and if it's so important, than we need to place an emphasis on making it more accessible to the people who might actually need it. We also need to put a moratorium on grades from high school for people who can show a certain acumen in passion projects, to let people who see the joke the US Public education system is for what it is. Yes, I was THAT guy. Meanwhile, I have friends around me who are tens of thousands in student loan debt, and can't afford to continue, while my broke-ass went ala-carte. This might be a big part of why our country is so full of stupid fucks.

Democrats
DO BETTER!!!!
| 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
How is it Clinton can get impeached for an intern and a Cigar, but a bunch of rich people fuck kids on an island designed for human Traffiking including the 45th and 47th POTUS and nobody gives a fuck! And people ask me why I think the human race should end...pffft!
| 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.
|
Facebook
More like "Fakebook"
| IF there ever was a man besides Elon Musk who I think should have suffered more Swirlies and locker stuffings in high school...it would be Mark Z/Fuckerberg. For starters, Facebook SUCKS! You can't modify your feed or page enough for it to look or feel any different than anyone elses, he shifts censorship with whatever is popular at the time, now it's a free-for-all of misinformation and political nightmare engagement. Old fogies roam around berating their adult children like they are trying to break up a fistfight over a Matchbox car in discussions about jobs, the cost of living, and the economy (eat less Avacado Toast and drink less Starbucks you brats!! - that's what they say), guys like me get railed verbally by our wives for going on rants about all the noise and text pollution that adorn that lamestreamer hellhole. It sucks that your JOB thinks you NEED a Facebook page to be "normal" - you don't! It sucks that society thinks that's the universal social media site - its' not! Honestly, my classmate Chris's "Another Profile" was a 10x better site than Fakebook ever was.

Ford
Maybe we need to re-animate some corpses from the early 1990's, where's Lee Iacocca and Dereck Elliot when you need em'?
| 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!
|
Genders
I'm not particularly fond of any of them at this point...
| Let's see, grew up and now live in adulthood around malignant female narcisscists en-masse, while sharing a gender with a bunch of hairless baboons so privledged they seem to think the word "no" is a suggestion and not a firm reply. I blame the culture of gender on this. We, as humans, still have left evolution of our own parts of the species in a stupid state, and I'm fucking sick of it - both the asinine behavior of men and women both to their own gender and to each other. Women, let's get this straight, you're fucking gorgeous, but all that beauty is ruined once you show any real man your inside - no not THAT inside - THIS one, the one in your brain, the one in your fucking HEART! I grew up around a man hater, almost every millennial woman I ever met hates men in some way, the dating pool is a nightmare that if I were single tomorrow, I'd just deign to be alone for the rest of my life at this point. All the yelling, screaming, hormonal petty bullshit from women really, really, gets to me. Most of it is for things that if you stopped and thought, and most gen X women I know WOULD stop and think about, you'd probably find out it was no big fucking deal. And ditto men. I'm sick of hearing just ebcause I can do more things better than a lot of you out there can, that "you need to get laid" or "you need a girlfriend" - I endured that shit from your rotten ball-brains for 31 years. Guess what, I have that now, and STILL Do all this shit. Why? Because I have something more to me than just being a walking penis with two eyes. Also, see "beauty standards" because I'm fucking sick of this shit from both sides as well. Might warrant a bigger article later like "guns" does.

Goth
Banning Nephie from my algorithm has been like playing whack-a-mole with people in creepy makeup
| 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, and that's the politics of Goth pretty much (Goth IS political). So here's my opinion. The subculture is whipped to death, like rock music is, in the mainstream. It's already turned into lamestream incel-bait crap - if I have to ban Nephie one more time, I might risk what's left of my Google account telling that bitch off. That's not to say there aren't some good creators in that space, hell, one gives me the best news and insight on my other "user" channel I made for myself, but I went there for news first, a once-cool subculture is icing on the cake. And people call ME "psycho" because I'd like to use suits and ties for target practice most days! Yes, goth women are pretty, but the subculture as a whole has a whole lot more to offer than just dark makeup and guitar music with a lot of chorus and reverb (another way we are simliar I guess).
|
Guitars
Cause' Guitars > People
| I own a lot of them, more than I have friends! Why? Because People are overrated. Never had a guitar who shot up a school, started a war or a fascist dictatorship. Never met a guitar that ever betrayed it's owner in any super-meaningful way, or cheated, or harmed anybody. The guitars are never late to the gig or were hot boxing drugs behind the venue until they can't play. Met plany of em' thought that make great weapons on a musical "battlefield" of sorts though. However, I've dropped being social about it outside this website because I have gotten tired of the PEOPLE who wield these things and think they're better because they own a more "Expensive" guitar (most of which can't even fucking play the damn thing that well anyway), and those that can play, are too damn busy touring and making music to be babbling about what the latest product that's the same as the last product was in a different finish because "that's what Mr. Jones just bought". I've been a shredder, an offsetter, and a seasoned pro at this subject.
|
Guns
It's supposed to be roulette for criminals from a petty theif with violent intentions to a tyrannical dictator taking over our government
| 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
If reincarnation is a thing and forced, I want to come back as a domestic house cat!
| 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.

Instagram
It's all fun and games and guitars until I step out of my garage...
| Okay, so the ONE Meta platform I'm on, is Instagram. I'm there, because it's like my crappy internet garage where I show what I'm currently working on in a smaller context for fun and likes. Other than that, I don't give a shit. Then I decide to take a walk around the block...FYP. Here's how I've figured out that Instagram's algorithm works, and it's the most CRASS Thing this side of a Solar Panel Scam ad... Basically, what it does is pools your interests based on your posts, then matches them up to a "demographic" - in my case, It seems to think I'm a CIS Gender Weebu White, STraight, Zennial because FNaF likes to turn up in my feed once in awhile, and that's fine, as long as it's just the game or some cool robot build and not some kind of cringey B.S. SOme things get fed to you because "everyone" like it, like some guy carving bars of soap with a plastic butter knife...then it decides to test the waters, throws you a picture of a pretty woman, if you stop for more than a second, BOOM, now you got pretty women in your feed. SO now my wife humors me over the "big booty women" in my FYP that I didn't ask for, all because I stopped on a chick in an Amazon dress - ironically one I was picking for the wife no less....but oh, It doesn't stop there! Politics...for awhile it was trying to goad me with MAGA Shite until I really started commenting on left-wing Democractic Socialist feeds - probably because I stopped on a few too many trucks and maybe a couple of gun posts. Protest Giraffe Man and angry in-car screaming guy - you two have been saviors from that hellhole. Then I Stop my ranodm walk through the demented FYP Shopping Mall, and end up back in my garage...with a new guitar in my lap, and a computer in front of me. I don't know HOW GOth got in my feed either... it just started appearing when I lookced up #chameleons. Apparently if I need to add a Goth alchemist to my real-life Dragon Quest party to slay Necrosaro when Trump steals the Orb of Evolution, I can look to Instagram for recruits.

Internet
aka. the Information Superghetto
| 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 approved 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. That's all the gatekeeping we needed! 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".

Micro$lop (Microsoft)
I'll only use them if you pay me...
| Microsoft has been a on-again/off-again thorn-in-my-side since the moment I started working on computers. Of everything I've learned how to do, hardware, software, networking, infosec (and the list goes on and on)... Microsoft's stuff has been the most consistantly inconsistant, and stomach-turningly unreliable garbage "vibe coding" I've seen this side of a 10 year old's spaghetti code attempt at a text adventure in BASIC. I see them sort of as the GOP of the computer operating system lot... a lot of lies, fake news, vaporware, and a lot of customer betrayal via various vectors such as Windows Update and so on. But what's frustrating is trying to explain to a Normie that there's anything else other than Microsoft, Google, and Apple. It's a fucking frustrating nightmare. Also, Bill Gates is in the Epstien Files...somehow that fills me with glee. I have since replaced all Micro$lop products in my house with Linux distributions and finally can be free of it off-the-clock at least.
|
Myspace (again)
Let's see who this is going to go when/if it returns...
| So the other day I heard that Myspace was coming back. I liked Myspace, it was the only website that followed the old rules of the internet, and let you design things to look like YOU wanted them to. So I welcome the reboot. Plus Tom isn't in the files or running around talking like a jackass - he did what I think ALL the tech bros should have done when they got their millions, retired and had some fun. It had a purpose, I was my musician self there, and I existed IN that musician space as a musician, showing off my own songs. Fakebook didn't let me do that (or make new backgrounds, or do anything creative really), Instagram barely lets me put up my projects from my workshop. However, I think this is going to end up being a place for Xennials like me when we get old to hang out like the Boomers do fakebook.

Religion
"My skydaddy is bestest than ur skydaddy!"
| 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.

Sick
We all do it but it's looked down upon as weakness...so here we are now!
| I'm really sick and tired of people acting like medical maladies are something that can come on a schedule like a board meeting or a maintenance regimen! Like I'm expected to fucking know 2 hours before work to call in, and then have everyone asking why "today" including my own damn family! Look, I don't like feeling bad, I just do, maybe in part because SOCIETY is fucking sick. Let's see, we're all born against our own consent to live in a system developed by humans where self-abuse is supposed to reap some kind of massive reward of a golden utopia. The reality of the situation is you have almost no control over shit like this, and if you did, it'd be the greatest "V-card" known to man to have. But instead it's a industry, and an inconvenience. So you try to rest at home, and you can't even fucking recover because nobody gives a fuck that you don't feel well, and if you can still walk, and are not wrapped up in a fucking cast, and even sometimes even if you are, they will still have you doing more work because either if it's a guy "you gotta be tough" and if it's a woman "Well, two months ago I was puking into a bowl while vacuuming the house, doing the dishes, doing the laundry (add 1001 other things that could have waited but she chose not to because "I'm a woman and I'm tough (but I don't want to tell you that directly)". Sometimes, it's time to put the "Tough" part down and just take care of yourself!

Slate Auto
Let's see how this one pans out...
| 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!

Stupid People
The reason I probably have mild agoraphobia these days.
| We have a horrible excess of them. The people who shouldn't breed are, and the people who should breed are smart enough to realize that their offspring are going to struggle with the existential crisis of "do you just join the idiots and pay for it later? or do I keep up the good fight knowing there's a chance it's useless? Or do I just tune out and say fuck everybody". Society is FULL of idiots who will believe someone just because they are rich (how the hell do you think Bezos, Trump, Musk, Gates, etc. got to where they are?). And this isn't because I think I'm exceedingly intelligent or anything, this is because I know I'm not, yet somehow, I'm watching people do some of the dumbest shit without thinking about it, and then calling ME stupid, and then I end up being the guy who fixes THEIR problems somewhat begrudgingly. Oh yeah, and the stupider they are, the more kids they're going to have, because they fail to comprehend the financial, social, mental, and other impacts. Dunning Krueger Effect anyone?

YouTube
A once great social platform of bedroom dwelling gutiarists and gamers now has been turned into a vast wasteland of ads, AI Slop, and political discourse...
| There's a secret third reason I left Youtube for creation puprposes in 2026, because I'm just tired of the B.S. Whether it's sleeping to NES let's plays only to have a dream about "My Vampire System" for 45 minutes, hearing more B.S. from weirdos about stuck poop in between Rickenbacker research, stumbling on SKibidi Toilet and wondering if someone spiked my water with drugs, asking myself if there was an 80's band that sounded like The Cars singing about getting paid to take a shit, or just getting angrily sick of hearing the Orange Dick-tator in Chief's sleepy vagina neck again! And then the content that is there is far less individual than it used to be. I was researching Rickenbacker 325, all it was was an endless miles of videos on John Lennon....why? That's like me looking up the Fender Mustang and all anybody talks about is Kurt Cobain...except they actually do talk about Char B, Lee Ranaldo, the guys in Mudhoney..heck, I even get Japanese dudes talking about Susumu Hirasawa and the guy in The Plastic's Mustang (or Mustang Copy?) occasionally. But if I have to hear one more demo of "Love Love Me Do!" one more time because I'm trying to compare my Chickenbocker hot rod to a real 325, thank god for 60 Cycle Hum for saving the day with his demo at Sweetwater....ARGH, an AD!!!
