I don’t feel as though I truly captured the issues at hand with the current “Trump2020” movement. So here goes nothing.

In my previous incredibly inebriated post I made a piss poor attempt to compare the mentality of Trump supporters to those in an abusive cult. I still stand by this statement, but I don’t feel as though I did a very good job explaining why. First and foremost, let me say that people don’t have to justify what they feel, think, say, or do. Not to me, not to themselves, not to anyone. Sometimes people do shit for no reason whatsoever. That said, when people choose a political movement, there’s almost always a relatively strong reasoning behind it. I’m going to dissect “Trump2020” now.

God dammit. Well, what’s done is done, I guess. But I can tell you now I’m going to start policing myself for posting while doing dabs, because that was some bullshit. It was barely coherent, scattered, and ridiculous. I didn’t reach the original intended point at all and the few points I did stretch to make were sloppily done at best. It was mostly just angry shouting. I can’t stand that shit. I’m not going to remove it, though. I’ll let it linger to remind me why I’m policing myself.

Background:

Figured I’d give my two cents, since a portion of the news made it into a funny clip I posted. Here goes.

Bruce Aylward is a fucking coward. He’s a spineless sack of dicks with Chinese aristrocracy’s hand up his ass, moving his mouth. He’s a tool. Absolutely worthless. Facts don’t care about his feelings, nor do facts give a rat’s ass about how badly he doesn’t want to piss off his overlords. Seriously. Fuck this guy. I wouldn’t believe a word coming out of his lying mouth at any point. I don’t think a person can get more useless than he has been. I’ve watched that clip over and over and it’s painfully obvious he isn’t even man enough to simply admit that he’s a pawn of the communist party. He can’t admit that Taiwan deserves its independence. Bruce is basically the Democrat version of Trump. Stupid, biased, and for sale to the highest bidder. Fucking tool. I hope he catches Corona and doesn’t survive.

Successfully migrated to Hugo. Sorry, Jekyll, but there looks to be a perceivable future for Hugo well beyond the fad of Ruby, and I love the fact that it’s super goddamned fast. It’s a far better option in my opinion. Not that I have anything against Ruby or Jekyll- I’ve established a massive blog with Ruby and Jekyll. It has persisted across many angry skids without so much as flinching. Hugo, though, is the future. It’s fast. It’s written in Go. It has everything I like about Jekyll and nothing I dislike about Jekyll. It’s the future, goddammit.

I’m currently not sure what I should write about. I get that I’m writing this at the moment, but I mean I do intend to write something substantial about computing, programming, or maybe maths. I dunno. I’m still kinda figuring that out. Until then I’m just doing the “one million monkeys sitting in front of one million typewriters” thing.

I can’t even adequately describe my frustration right now. It’s immense. It’s YUGE. I guess I’ll try to describe exactly why it exists, and why I don’t foresee it improving at all in the next year or so.

First and foremost, qurantine is tough. It’s not the best thing I’ve ever experienced, and a lot of “gamers” are making jokes about quarantine being neutral buoyancy. I get it. Most game and computer enthusiasts stay indoors for long stretches. If they leave, it’s begrudgingly. I understand the stereotype. I spent a while proving it to be true. There’s just some radical exception to that rule when you’re told that you can’t leave. Suddenly the desire for something previously undesirable grows exponentially.

I think sitting around all day and having nothing to do with the outdoors in any capacity might be causing all of us some substantial mental harm. Though, the alternative being putting those at-risk in danger may be a greater evil than just sitting around all day. I don’t know. I don’t have all the answers.

I do kind of want to just rip it off, like a band-aid. Just get back out there and continue doing business as usual. It’s starting to wear on me. It’s making me more bitter. I’m less tolerant of people who fail to think things through. I’m less tolerant of people in general. I’m not doing awesome with staying inside all day, every day. I need to find something to break my day up. I’ve been taking a lot of vacation days to just decompress, but I don’t think it’s as effective as I’d like it to be. Maybe I’ll work more. Just get more done with the tasks I have set before me. I dunno. You can tell I’m losing my mind when working more is on the table.

Press play and listen as you read.

It looks as though we’re going to have to hunker down for two weeks given all the bullshit going on. Good ol’ COVID-19 is running rampant across the globe and scaring boomers into destroying the economy. It’s also pretty likely that we’re all going to be unemployed soon due to this little pandemic. The worst part of it has to be the panic buying that everyone’s succumbing to.
