I bought a Pax 3 some time ago, and by far it has been the worst performer that I’ve owned to date. So I figured I’d ping the company who makes it and let them weigh in on why this device is such an awful performer. But before I reached out to the Pax Support Team, I did go through all their support materials on the matter to try their recommended methods for getting decent performance out of this device.

Christmas is over, thank fuck. Seems like it went off without a hitch. At least, no crazy drama or anything. In Christmas terms, this is a distinct win. Nearly every Christmas seems tinged with some alcohol-fueled altercation or spat, people are ceaselessly saying something they regret or, perhaps, things they regret not having said earlier. It’s normally insanity, whereas insanity is not always the norm. Well, I fucking love the Nuphy Air75 keyboard.

It’s Christmas, it’s 8:00 AM, and I’m sitting here at my computer. I’m thinking about grabbing my spare Monster. My woman went to work at some ungodly hour this morning, and I really don’t sleep well when her butt isn’t pushed up against me. Any time I wake up, so long as she’s in bed with me, I just pull her close and I can fall right back to sleep. If not, I end up rolling around fifty times before I’m able to finally collapse again.

Don’t get too excited, the title is just a word. It has nothing to do with the contents of this post whatsoever. I’m sitting here, not at home, but still quite comfortable in my mobile safe zone. I have a bag that I stuff all my earthly possessions into for traveling, and so I’m traveling with my loved ones a little for the holidays. Look at me, being intentionally vague for operational security.

I’ll preface this with the fact that I’ve tasted superior product. I spent years as a Pixel user, and I know what a good phone feels like. That said, my current handheld device happens to be the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. It’s also the phone that has me feeling desperate to run back to Pixel. What follows will be a rant about why my phone makes me hate Samsung and what Samsung can do about it.

Just finished watching “Black Adam” for the first time, and I figured I’d dole out a blurb or two about it while it’s still fresh in my brain. First and foremost, can I say how hilarious it is that the movie totally missed the radar of the sensitivity squad? Black Adam is literally Superman if Superman weren’t a whiny little pussy, and actually killed people en masse, and also was middle eastern.

I’m not really planning on coordinating my thoughts on this damn thing. It’s really just a fucking outcropping of LiveJournal, if we’re being honest. I don’t post technical crap anymore. I don’t really do anything except be an emo douche, but it’s therapeutic so suck my ass. If you don’t like it, you really don’t have to read it. If you do like it, I have to question who you are as a person.

I think we already know this, but Rome is Burning. Mad props to Tiffany Cross, this segment is as funny as it is informative, but it highlights a rather serious problem that we’re currently watching expose itself in realtime. That problem is just how reliant the Justice System is on cronyism. It’s really unfortunate that American Freedoms exist only for those who can afford them. The bar for entry is intended to be US citizenship, but that simply isn’t so.

I’ve been suspended from Twitter like thirteen or more times, mostly because I’m an asshole. I get it, I’m not compatible with your little pussy ass bitch ass bullshit safe zone. I get it. I really do. But it’s funny, because Elon Musk thinks he’s the free speech absolutist who can save civil discourse, when in reality he’s just as much a pussy ass bitch as the people who he fired.

First and foremost- Christmas is for children. The mascot is a white-haired fat man that looks like 90% of grandfathers, and he’s fucking magic and stupid and flies around the world making the children of wealthy families happy and occasionally throwing a bone to poor kids, but not as often as he should. Mostly the poor kids get fucked and hate Christmas along with me. It’s whatever. That said, fuck Christmas.

It’s insane to me that we gave Putin one of his trash-ass lackeys in exchange for Brittney Griner, whose only crime was entering the fascist nation of Russia. It almost seems to me as though the exchange was explicitly designed to piss off Americans. It certainly has me riled up. I’d like to see Ukrainian forces overtake Moscow at this point, and hang that blustering asshole from the gallows. I heard we wanted some CIA jackass back.

So the “Daily Blast” idea I had, yeah… That’s not gonna happen. I don’t have the gusto for that sort of thing, not even sporadically. So that’s out. Well, at least I got one banged out. It’s probably going to be the last one until next year at a minimum. Everyone see the results of the Georgia runoff? Yeah, me too. But seriously, fuck Herschel Walker. He’s a fucking hypocrite piece of shit, which is pretty much par for the course for the GOP.

I know all you retarded crypto-bros out there want to pretend like there are sweeping conspiracies involving lunatics like John McAfee and Jeffrey Epstein. First and foremost, let me say that Jeffrey Epstein is not a subject I’ll weigh in on for this post. It’s far outside the scope of this post and involves more money and compromising situations than John McAfee, and it’s ultimately a far different story. Yes, Epstein was insane, but a different type of insanity than McAfee.

.@SBF_FTX, we appreciate that you've been candid in your discussions about what happened at #FTX. Your willingness to talk to the public will help the company's customers, investors, and others. To that end, we would welcome your participation in our hearing on the 13th. — Maxine Waters (@RepMaxineWaters) December 2, 2022 Woah, excuse me? What the ever-living fucking goddamned excuse me, what? Maxine Waters clearly must’ve received at least ten million from Sam Bankman-Fried given the above tweet.

I’ve been blogging for a while, but as you can already tell, I’ve been just sort of haphazard expelling the contents of my brain pan onto the keybaord. It’s messy sometimes. I’m thinking about trying to A) commit to writing posts daily pertaining to current events or things in my mind that day that I might feel passionately about. I’d also like to B) try and keep the content somewhat pertinent to more individuals than just myself.

The shit we’re seeing happen right now is utterly wild. Mass “White Paper Protests” are sweeping through China in response to Xi’s “Zero COVID” lockdown policy. I started following a Chinese dissident on Mastodon and I’ve been tracking protest information through that account. It’s quite wild. It makes me wonder if this is the start of the end of Xi, or if he’s going to pull another Tiananmen Square. More innocent civilian bloodshed just because an old man clings to power, knowing he would be assassinated if he ever faltered.

First and foremost, fuck corporations. Fuck FAANG. Fuck billionaires, including Bezos and Musk. Fuck everyone who worships billionaires and corporations, too. You’re all subhuman bootlickers, with few to no exceptions. Pundits like Charlie Kirk and Brett Cooper are also subhuman trash, because they’re trying to “reign in” on free voices like mine, to drown us out and prevent us from letting you know that you too can be free. Fuck those animals.

I’ve taken shits less offensive than Donald Trump. And, let me be clear here; not a single one of them could ever be described as “rosy”. The reality is that the right has settled on advancing an individual as “our guy”, who is a lecherous billionaire who has zero concern for the people of his country. Fuck Donald Trump. Voting for Trump is a really effective way to communicate how much of a selfish cunt you are.

It fascinates me to see Republican lawmakers tout how “gun bans don’t work” when in the same breath they’ll support any and every attempt at Iranian nuclear de-proliferation. So let’s get something straight, here, Ted Cruz; You’ll support nuclear de-proliferation in Iran but not de-proliferation of guns at home? Hmm, I wonder- why is that, Ted? It’s probably because Ted is bankrolled heavily by American arms manufacturers. Ted knows that bans on assault weapons work.

Comcast fails me completely yet again. Go to connect to my home ssh server (as I always do) and get no response. So I check the Comcast app and see that, of course, Comcast is experiencing issues. Of course they are. Any time my shit is offline, it’s because of them, not because of me. I run commercial grade networking gear. They must be running the same bullshit they try to sell you when you sign up, because their shit is never working.

Blizzard Games Are Disappearing From China Thanks To ‘A Jerk’ Ashley Bardhan wastes our valuable time yet again with another bit of CCP propaganda, this time in the form of an appeal to every gamer in China to “not blame the communist party” for the unreasonable expectations put on tech firms by the communist party, enabled by companies such as “NetEase”, who is also involved in the debacle. It’s ridiculous how the blame is immediately shifted onto Blizzard, despite the fact that there are serious problems with every business deal taking place in China.

Nine times out of ten I can’t keep a single post constrained within a single subject. Nearly every post that I’ve written is just a sprawling rant across all of ridiculous randomness. It’s pretty annoying, considering I would really like to write pieces on specific subjects that I find interesting. It just doesn’t seem possible, because I can’t fucking prevent my mind from wandering all over the goddamn place while I’m writing.

I cannot espouse this absolute absurdity unless it’s to combat an equal or greater absurdity, and so, I repeat- Vote Blue No Matter Who. Do it. Vote blue regardless of primaries, midterms, presidential elections, runoffs. I don’t care. Vote blue until the right is no longer questioning the democracy we’ve built. Vote blue until Trumpism dies. Vote blue until the right develops some fucking sanity, because right now that party is off the fucking rails.

In reality, the candidates you vote for give zero fucks about your existence. For all you know, they’re blissfully unaware that you even exist. The same can almost be said in reverse- You’re barely aware of who’s in office, because the guy in office is really just your average politician. He doesn’t really stand for anything. But he doesn’t constantly bring upon your home the threat of total nuclear annihilation, either.

Tomorrow is election day. Historically, the party opposite the sitting president’s party does really well in midterms. Tomorrow is not the day to continue that trend. It’s going to be incredibly important for everyone to rally behind Roe. We need to send a message to these religious nutbags that they will not be allowed to govern women’s bodies with their superstitious bullshit. I don’t care what excuses you think you have, you really don’t have any excuses.

We’ve spent the last thousand years developing a rational view of the universe in which we investigate cause and effect. It has served us well and elevated humanity from our messy hunter/gatherer tribal origins to the technologically advanced global society we are today. This progress didn’t come from the pedophile priests who tell us lies about magic sky wizards. The progress came from observation, measurement, intelligence, and reason. I could go on and on about these assholes pushing anti-vaxx nonsense and other anti-science trash.

In all reality, Republicans are class traitors. They’ve wilfully espoused that they support any and all benefit and gain for their betters, but not their peers. The crime of class betrayal should carry a heavy penalty. I might even propose death as a penalty for such crimes, because they’re truly detrimental to society. We’ve been engaged in a protracted and long term class war, all of us. We’ve all been fighting in it.

Apparently Musk is going to try to make Twitter a “public utility” without the oversight or government regulation of a public utility, because he “believes so much in freedom of speech”. Sounds like a dog whistle for white supremacy and alt-right groups more than it does “public service”. For one, Musk doesn’t respect public services, because he’s one of those idiot libertarian types. Second, private companies can’t “protect freedom of speech”.

Sometimes I wonder what went wrong when I was conceived. This “out of place”-ness, it doesn’t feel new or acquired. It doesn’t feel like I had to exist around people to experience it. I think there are very few places where I wouldn’t feel out of place. It’s difficult to quantify things that aren’t whole. It’s like a lingering sensation rather than a sure phenomenon. I’m watching the drama with Kiwi Farms unfold, and I understand why people are angry.
