These morons are already declaring “America’s Decline is OVER!” The irony is that they don’t have a good vision for this country. Theirs is one of a depraved “late stage capitalist” nightmare. Pretty soon you won’t be able to own things anymore. They’re going to tell you it’s for your own good. They’re going to tell you it makes commodities cheaper. They’re lying. It makes commodities more profitable for them to sell, and the moment they secure their place as the monopoly they’re going to rug you. They’re going to jack prices up to where any value you may have seen is entirely gone. That’s how they get you. They rob you blind and tell you it’s for your own good, and since they’ve worked so hard to destroy the education system, you don’t fucking question it. You goddamn sheep. Seriously. Quit letting people tell you how to think and feel about very disgusting situations. Stop just eating the shit they produce by the fistful. It’s not worth it. None of it is worth it.

The debate performance that has everyone up in arms really is just the beginning. Every corner of the internet that’s watching closely is screaming at the computer monitor or cell phone screen as fascism begins to creep up. Everything is going to hell in a handbasket, and all you have to do is lie to people about giving a shit. These dealers in misery, brokers of despair, they’re selling US citizens for pittances. People like Jason Miller who knocked a woman up and then poisoned her with plan B.

My wife always likes to say, “When someone tells you who they are, believe them.” The takeaway being that when someone admits to you that they’re awful, you should take their word for it. Sometimes people will pop off with some random fact that describes how terrible they are, and then they’ll try to backpedal it or take it back to some extent. You really should just take it at face value, and if you can live with that then fine. If you can’t, perhaps it’s time to reconsider.

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. The irony is ever-increasing as you start to consider that his constituents vocally support “God and country”. Irony of ironies that the party of selfish cuntism is also the most spiritual. Except it isn’t ironic at all if you’re even remotely familiar with christianity. Christianity and Islam are the same type of bullshit lies while simultaneously being slightly different from one another, and yet the exact same kind of garbage. Fuck Christians, fuck muslims too, and especially fuck the GOP.

I’ve been working through creating my own installation of NextCloud to synchronize my data across a number of devices, and so far I think the installation has been a resounding success. It’s currently running, believe it or not, on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM. I would love to detail out how me, a rube, got this crap working. I’m not sure how much of an opportunity I’ll get to do that, though. Work is picking up with a serious ferocity and my spare time is incredibly limited.
