  • You ever watch interviews of people about the internet when it was first starting to become accessible to people?

    Everyone was so optimistic it would unite the world. Bring peace and prosperity. Join minds to conquer world hunger. Homelessness. Cure diseases. Racism and all the other isms would disappear when we could no longer use physical features and physical location to subjugate and divide.

    Knowledge and information accessable to everyone would spur more knowledge and advancements.

    It was naive. But also. It’s what it could have been. It had that potential once upon a time.






  • Someone shamed some old vet beggar who would sit in a wheelchair by a known intersection in town.

    He was missing a leg.

    Someone posted on some community FB page , photos of the guy standing and bending down or something.

    And people were going crazy saying he was a faker for asking for money.

    Dude was a vet who lost his leg.

    He wasn’t paralyzed. He never said he was.

    He is in the chair because he can’t walk much.

    Doesn’t mean he can’t stand at all.

    Idk. But yeah it’s a common misconception that only paralyzed people need wheel chairs.















  • Some days I think. Do I just need to run for a political seat. I mean. For fucks sake.

    Can we just get someone normal with baseline ethics ?

    I don’t want to go into politics.

    It looks boring as hell and you have to listen to complaints all day and threats from corporate brats calling your office.

    And the smear campaigns.

    But I mean. Someone needs to do the job right.

    Maybe someone who doesn’t want to do it is the right person.

    Idk.

    Sometimes I just think about that.

    I don’t have any past b.s to be brought up. All my old nudie pics are from peak years. So even if someone shared those it would probably help me get elected not hurt me.

    Idk. Sometimes I think maybe I should just try. My whole angle would be.

    “I don’t want this job. But y’all keep fuckin it up. So here we are.”

    Or

    “Move aside. I’ll fix it myself, fuckwits”.

    I have a cynical sense of humor. Some people might relate but Id probably piss a lot of people off.

    I’ve been trying to tell all my friends how they need to run for local offices. Hell, half of those small positions aren’t even opposed.

    easy wins. Cushy state job.

    Sit there and make it hard for people to get away with b.s. slow down the fascist. And help the progressives.

    You can do that at any level of government if you play your cards right.


  • Right?!

    And he genuinely thought calling me a bitch and telling me to fuck off was going to work.

    I wonder if such a tactic had worked for him in the past.

    You know I was thinking about how back then we called it “taking advantage”. Not rape.

    Like they just took an opportunity that presented itself. An opportunity that the victim created.

    Morally gray. But not the same as rape. Which is only defined as when a sober woman is physically attacked and held down with force by a man. the term wasn’t really applied to many other scenarios.

    No one used the word “rape” to describe assaulting an intoxicated person.

    It was always “someone took advantage of them”.

    And I think describing it that way was part of why it was pervasive. Acceptable. Common.

    And even now it’s hard to get people prosecuted for rape when the victim is intoxicated.

    Like somehow , them being incapable of escaping or resisting makes them willing and accepting by default.

    I think in some ways , the rapist who physically attacks a sober woman is at least unashamedly acknowledging what they are doing.

    Whereas the rapist who waits until his would-be victim is incapacitated and can’t fight back , and tells himself they wanted it, is a delusional sociopath. These are the types who go after children and teens too. The kind who groom. These predator types are more insidious.
