    When I switched to a new CPU I got a bit locker message and it was one of my biggest computer scares ever. I couldn’t remember if the shop that assembled my pc would have enabled it or not. And wasn’t available to contact.

    I had to take a risk. If I continued there was a 50 50 chance my shit would have been bricked. Thankfully. That shop had the foresight to NOT randomly enable features the client didn’t ask for

    people used to think I was on crazy pills because I for some reason used to point to 2008 as my favorite nostalgia year.

    Nothing particularly major happened with mine, no sports team championship, no graduation, no first date, nothing like that, and my family was for the most part, well insulated from the financial crisis, we lived in a country that was less impacted anyway

    2008 was just another year in the 2000s, I only remember it so well because of the small little gaming communities I had joined online when I was 16, Still talk to and hang out with them today at 32.



  • This is reminding me of one of my uncles who has become so radicalized by both Christofascist propaganda, and stuff he reads online, that he believes the world is in a “Kaliyug” Hindu term for the final stage of civilizaiton cycle, defined by violence, crime and immorality.

    he believes that now, everything is boiled down to “you’re either a good person, or you’re just a criminal” there is no in between.

    and if you’re a criminal, he basically beleives you need to be killed. for the good of society.

    *Got sick and couldnt see a doctor for 7 hours? The doctors are just corrupt criminals

    Your work didnt take enough income tax from you and you owe $1000 ? Well your employers are just corrupt criminals.

    Chocolate Milk is $11 a jug? the Grocers are just corrupt criminals.

    Russia invaded Ukraine? Oh this is just Putins plan to rid the world of Criminals, both sides emptied their prisons and anyone who wants to fight / defend their home, they’re just a violent person who needs to be removed from society anyway.*

    Every one of these is opinions I’ve heard him express recentley.

    I want to add, this Lunatic lives in the same building as me now. I’ve never had a better advocate for being agnostic / atheist / irreligious in my life. that door is permanetley slammed shut. Hail spaghetti monster.

    the world wars were basically two halves of the same conflict, the only real difference between the two was the whole Russian Revolution that brought a third communist faction into the mix,

    and dont kid yourselves, The Soviet Union was a co-belligerent of the Allies, not a part of them. you aren’t allied with someone when you’re formally at war with them until the mid1920s, watch them kick off a war by partnering with nazi germany, and then have a little ceasefire for 4-5 years between 1941 and 45 when nazi germany betrayed them. and go back to pointing guns at them

    Russia sees itself as “other” to the rest of Europe, for those who dont read history, you need only visit a news site to see how that is still the case today

    the Ukraine invasion from the perspective of fascists, dictators and lunatics, is an opportunity to normalize the public to the concept of industrialized war between nation states.

    there are certainly a few countries in the world with aggressive and warmongering regimes in total control, who intend to shoot their way to getting their resources.
