The irony of reaching a point in my life where I could reasonably afford children without crippling myself financially, but having reached an age and standard of leisure that having those children would now cripple my quality of life beyond reason just as much.

Life is a preposterous horror.
Money speaks for money, the devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.
Une oasis d'horreur dans un désert d'ennui.

I think it would be a good thing for every child, at every school, to announce a different gender change every day.
If you could get enough people doing it, enough of the time:
1. You bog the school down from useless reports.
2. You desensitize parents to this kind of thing
3. You camouflage the people who need protection because of 1 and 2.
It shouldn't need to be done but it's a stupid system with stupid rules.

Captain Genocide and the Easily-Bribed Global Hegemonic Superpower are really showing the world why you absolutely 100% need nuclear weapons, and why balance of power is more important than anything else.
Unless you happen to be the Global Hegemonic Superpower, in which case you absolutely do not want anyone else to have nuclear weapons or there to be a balance of power. Mainly because you wouldn't get away with shit like this.

Just please leave the delivery on the table by the door, no hand-off necessary. Why do you want me to be giving a code to people, stupid application? No contact is best contact.

Doesn't matter.
Even if Americans threw someone in jail for their war crimes, the next presidential regime immediately gives them a full pardon each and every time. Sucking the juice straight out of the balls of war criminals, as "punishment", is like the highest American tradition.
It's not just a Trump thing either, it's Union war criminals massacring natives after the Civil War, it's the "heroes" of Wounded Knee, My Lai massacre people. Always happens.

I wonder sometimes why the Liberals don't do anything about all our newspapers being American-owned, and basically just a mouthpiece for the Conservative Party of Canada.
It has to be because it pushes the Overton Window right, and that suits them fine? It must be pleasing to them for some reason and that's the best I can come up with.

I bought a new bag of socks and every toe ripped after the first wear. So very disposable.

It doesn't at all surprise me that Spielberg is a for real UFO believer/loser.
Bonus points for UFO folks moving on to UAP and disclosure to mask their Looney Tunes nonsense, that was a good public relations move.

I see the appeal of cutting myself off from society and waiting for death in some degree of guaranteed comfort. It doesn't get better from here, folks. But all that religion? In service of an organization that make Epstein look like a decent human being in comparison? No.

I wonder if I would be so annoyed about LLMs if they weren't being shoved up my ass, gang-rape style, by people who have invested enough money to collapse the economy... for this? For such a pathetic use case? For a use case that's going to be additionally sabotaged by that company's need to weave in advertising and promotions?
And the four other LLM companies on my yard shouting at me as if I haven't heard of any of them but offering the same nothing?

I often wonder how many more interesting and varied businesses would exist out there if rent wasn't an impossible barrier for just as many small businesses as people looking not to be homeless.
Some of the most interesting places in my city only exist because they've owned the building for a hundred years or more and can get away doing those interesting things. Also, the cheapest restaurants.
What a shame.

Happy #Kissinger is Dead Day to all who celebrate. If you're not celebrating, what's wrong with you? November 29th is the best day of the year by far.
I give a free free follow back to any and all who have the good taste to observe, loudly and proudly, with all the joy this holy occasion merits.
