    Expiration dates on salt and water are funny and all, but expiration dates exist because capitalists would disguise spoiled food to maximize profit. And it takes an enforcement regime to make them care about their customer’s health. Wasted food is still preferable to wasted life.

    These regulations didn’t fall out of a coconut tree.




  • There is a long history of these shenanigans in film. During the filming of “last tango in paris”, the male lead and the director conspired to sodomize the female lead as a “surprise” to get a more genuine “performance”. Roman Polanski drugged and rapped a teenager. The great auteur Kubrick, is famous for harassing and abusing the Shelly Duvall, again, for the sake of her “performance”.

    Statistically, for every Weinstein who see’s the inside of a prison for abusing women, ten Woody Alans walk around free. Rape as a sex crime is barely illegal in the US. Rape as a property crime is punished to the full extent…







  • For years people have given me the blinking stare of unbelief when I tell them I’ve never had a Facebook. Now being absent on that platform and others is seen as suspicious. I got a buddy who couldn’t complete a job application because Facebook was a mandatory field in the electronic form. The border Gestapo and the State Department require your socials for visa applications. A friend told me that she wouldn’t date a guy without socials because she browses them as a kind of background check.

    Fuck Meta.








  • I was actually delighted when Windows 11 added tabs to notepad and explorer, and layers make MSPaint worth using.

    But all of these things became buggy messes. Explorer showing ads for OneDrive and inexplicable behavior, On more than one occasion, the address bar would become unusable, and I deeply resent having to use the mouse to do simple tasks.

    Now I know that this was prelude to Copilot.

    So now I daily drive Debian making me a computer user, not a resource for billionaires to mine.
