Or rather, the world as we knew it - or even further, the world as it should have been. You see it everywhere, it's not just me bellyaching about it - the masses, young and old, wish to return to the culture, technology, aesthetics, feel, and "ways" of the olden days. Everywhere you look though, it's always 2007. I've yet to see even one person say 2005, or 2006, or 2008, or 2009 - or so on and so... » Continue Reading
Bit of a personal follow-up to a previous blog here. A refresher, we have two new, 40-something year old, people at the McDonald's I work at. I am not fond of either of them to say the least. One of them is a "Motormouthed Lobotomite" - I have dubbed him - he is a fat, unsightly, stimulant abusing, juggalo, to say the least. I have recently, just today, learned that the consensus amongst all my co... » Continue Reading
I think that, as a concept, the idea that we all - or that even just I - exist within a simulation, and that everything around us is fake - is the dumbest shit known to man. The only thing in day to day life that gives me pause, and makes me have to seriously question to sentience and sapience of those around me, is when I encounter "Algorithm People". Those hollow, wretched, souls who spew, ad na... » Continue Reading
I won't beat around the bush, I've seen better days. I've also seen better jobs, better pay rates, better clientele, and better coworkers. I'm a fry cook now. Wasn't always - but that's just how it is on this bitch of an Earth sometimes. I could lie and blame any number of factors - I won't. My work history these last few years is abysmal, holding down jobs - very big issue for someone with a mind... » Continue Reading
Tagging this under "Goals, Plans, Hopes" as it pertains to my long goal, the goal of severing myself from society at large as it stands. I have had to come to terms with the fact, over the last few years, that I will have to just eat the costs that I have sunken into my escapism. That is to say, that when I finally get out of this rat race - I will have to give up a great deal that I have sunk cou... » Continue Reading
I have been writing a great deal lately of a hypothetical alternative to the international network - a series of, effectively, federated webrings to be referred to hereafter as "The Intranet". Connections would be by choice, with the will of the userbase dictating when to federate and when to defederate - with the intent of creating a completely divergent society online from the one we inhabit now... » Continue Reading
Headlines as of late screech of the corners cut using AI in the development of video games. Activision has been found to use AI for a great deal of their newer releases, map designs, likely coding, definitively for design on various DLC packs and voices for their characters. I offer an alternative - allow me to spin a hypothetical for you. An open world RPG of some sort, where in the background, a... » Continue Reading
My most recent blogpost was about Divergent Societal Evolution, and it's necessity. This post serves as a sort of continuance of that post. I got pushback from some australian who didn't think it was feasible to have a clean break, raise a new distributed network, and then moderate it to keep money, porn, and outside influence out of it. Make no mistake, it CAN happen and it MUST happen. I'm talki... » Continue Reading
I am marking this under SpaceHey in the category because there is a great deal of it exhibited here. This will be my most egregious backtrack / retraction / addendum. A year ago or so, I made a blog post about what I called "Rawrface" - which is like blackface but for our culture. That is to say, people who were either online during the "golden days" or who - like me - caught the tail end of them ... » Continue Reading
I wanna give a little piece of advice to the kids these days who are just now graduating and heading into adulthood. Keep track of your yearbook, and by extension keep track of where everybody winds up. I graduated in 2018, I'm 24 - my graduating class was real small in comparison to nearby schools. Lets do a tally: >2 people in my class are dead, 1 who graduated a year before me is dead too (two ... » Continue Reading
There was a movie that I read a brief summary of while I debated whether I would watch it or not. No clue what the title is, had that guy who played Hannibal Lector in the series where he was gay - it was about a bunch of teachers who decide to just start teaching rolling deep in the drink to make it manageable. I'm working at a damned mcdonalds again. I'm at the lowest part of the barrel, scraped... » Continue Reading
I have dedicated myself wholeheartedly towards the new, singular, direction. I have to create a bunker. I've done everything imaginable to streamline the design of said bunker for livability, sustainability, and budget - I've gone through iterations unfathomable, from a shipping container encased in concrete in the ground - to the current idea, which is an above ground encasement of a camper, with... » Continue Reading
