The revolution will be live-streamed.

i don’t feel tardy.

it’s been awhile since i dove into Linux, but last time i dabbled i was liking Kubuntu.

it’s pork dog, like many things it needs to be cooked properly.

if you want to risk it for undercooked meat, that’s on you. but certain things need to be sanitized. cooking does that. there are many ways to have chewy, yet properly cooked bacon.

people think immortality is a gift.

but it is a curse.

immortal bacon would be no different.

the times we don’t have bacon, give delicious flavor to the times when we do. if it was bacon time, all the time, then the phrase ‘bacon time’ would lose it’s significance.

Nokia’s got you covered

they also nailed the minimalist vibe better.

personally, i’ve got more important shit going on that what phone people are using. in the case of this phone, it looks like any other number of Android phones with a custom theme.

i’m assuming it’s more than that, but it still looks a bit silly. you can be minimalist and still appreciate things like color.

The cost of cigs is also artificially inflated in many places. I’m glad to see less of the younger crowd smoking, that’s a good thing. But doing it in these ways just feels plain un-American.

We let an awful lot of things that are bad for us slide, because the effects aren’t as visible.

everyone knows, there’s a certain amount of fucking around you get for free. the real problem is that the finding out part can happen quick, and seem to come out of nowhere.

they’re commonly known as busy bowls.

we had to get one for a young dog we took in. he was used to food being scarce, and would gulp down any given to him. the busy bowls make them work for it, so it slows them down a bit.

diving bell maybe?

that’s because it wasn’t. it still isn’t. the best hardware in the world won’t do anything for you if there’s no software to use it. with the iVRy dev working on this, and with Sony’s announcement, they probably realized it was a inevitability for someone to crack the software problem.

no one ever said it couldn’t be done.

be better all you want. but personally just fucking them up on sight would be ok with me.

let other people be better, but the being better part is what allows these kinds of people to freely march in the first place.

these people thrive on confrontation, and feel that confrontation will make others flock to their side. i think we should give them all the confrontation they want, basically at every opportunity. being better than them is good in the long run. being worse than them will get them off the streets.

this is Nashville, we can do both.

yeah, but i don’t know of any states that don’t.

these guys definitely should’ve caught a lot more hate than they did though. if some horrible accident befell those people, it’d have been a net positive for everyone else.

personally i’ve always hated Illinois Nazis, and i think i hate Nashville Nazis more.

it’s whataboutism, any time someone follows up a story like this with ‘what about the time X did worse?’

it’s literally the definition of whataboutism. if it weren’t whataboutism, then we wouldn’t be talking about the IDF. we’d instead be talking about the dude pretending to be a journalist by day, and a terrorist by night.

the fact that you don’t know this means two things. either you know and are trying to deflect, or you just flat out don’t know that’s what whataboutism is.

Border Police opened fire indiscriminately at a vehicle that tried to burst through a checkpoint.

i like how they try to make it sound like the Israelis fired for no reason whatsoever, yet the vehicle tried to run through a checkpoint. that gets you shot at a large number of borders.

it’s sad that the little girl died. i think we can all agree on that.

on the one hand, i’m really amazed the thieves were able to bring it down without attracting much attention, and were able to complete their work in somewhat short order.

on the other hand, i wonder how remote that station was from civilization.

learn HOW to drink.

drinking isn’t just about finding out how much it takes before you black out. AND FOR EVERYONE ELSE’S SAKE, DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. if you’re gonna drink, arrange transportation, or stay where you are.

also, read the Hagakure. there’s some good stuff in there.

nothing really matters, that’s what gives our presence meaning. there is no grand score keeping, which makes things like kindness all the more meaningful.

when nothing matters, how we live and express ourselves becomes even more meaningful.

the entire existence of all living things is the struggle. some thrive, some don’t.

but we do it all for the good days. if it was all good days, we wouldn’t appreciate them like we do. the darkness gives meaning to the light, and the bad days give meaning to the good ones.

i’m sorry about your cat. it can be rough to lose a loved one. but that doesn’t mean there won’t be more good days.
