I think I’m a little in shock about how much work I have coming my way. It’s pretty intense. It looks like I’m going to have at least two, possibly three concurrent high profile projects as well as a number of smaller projects interspersed. I can’t really say how things are going to go, but I’m going to do my damnedest to get it done and do it right. I’m also writing this post on my phone using JuiceSSH, which is pretty cool. I’m glad I bought it. It works really well. It has this badass feature that allows you to use the virtual keyboard as either a “hunt and peck” for commands or an “autocorrect” for long strings of English words. I’m also tunneled into a raspberry pi over WireGuard. I need to buy at least one more of those, maybe two, and a large external drive to tether to it. Well, back to the grind, I guess.

How did we get here? I find myself asking that question over and over. It’s almost a daily reflection for me. How did Harvey Weinstein vicitimize women for thirty years? How did Jeffrey Epstein turn sex trafficking into a cottage industry? How did Trump maintain his personality cult across thirty allegations of sexual impropriety? The truth nearly seems stranger than fiction. At least, to me.

I’ve always been an incredibly defiant person. I buy heavily into the “No gods, no masters” mantra, and I feel as though we’re the masters of our own destiny. But that isn’t true for my peers. If they were to see a famous person in person, all bets would be off the table, and many of them would cease to be the same individual. The truth is that the “rockstar effect” is killing society.

It appears as though the nihilists are winning as we delve deeper into quantum mechanics. Local realism is under attack from every front, it would seem. I honestly despise the fact that quantum mechanics are easy and cheap to dip your toes into. It’s a short segue from polarized light to breaking existence as we know it. Who wants a universe that both exists and doesn’t exist until you observe that it either exists or doesn’t exist? Yet you can perform simple experiments at home that lead you down this absolutely insane path. I don’t know about you, but this shit bothers me. The underpinnings of everything in existence feel more solid than what we’re teasing out from photons.

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.
