  • Climbed the fences at the state fair with some friends.

    Found out I could GPS spoof my signal for my work app due to faulty security measures. I could sign into it, enable the spoof app, then “start” my round and repeat when I need to log that I “visited” a location. It was for a security guard gig at a shitty company. Exploitative practices and low pay, literally no days off, had to use my vehicle but no gas or maintenance reimbursement. So, I said fuck em. It was during COVID, the position had no oversight, and they had already fucked me twice over before. All the buildings were empty anyway. I just checked in on them when I felt and fibbed all the logs for what they actually wanted from me.




  • It is an incredibly niche part of the gender nonconformity movement in that some nonbinary individuals don’t want to use the neutral “they”, and instead want unique pronouns such as “xi/xir” or some such.

    I personally don’t agree with it. I’ll just continue to use the singular “they”, as it is gender neutral and works independently of where the individual being referred to sits on the gender spectrum, or use their name, as it is already the unique designation to refer to the specific individual.





  • They can be the nicest people you know, yet, still bastards because their fortunes are stolen from the backs of those who labored due to how our economic system is structured to distribute ownership of resources. It is based on the diametrically oppositional interests of workers versus the interests of owners/shareholders. What is good for one is intrinsically bad for the other.

    Owning class makes their money from the profit of companies they have share in or are the executives of. Profits are Revenue minus Expenses. Worker wages, benefits, upgrading/fixing equipment and working conditions, etc… are all Expenses. This means that there is always the dichotomy between money going to Profit, thus the pocket of the owning class, or to Expenses, thus going to workers in the form of wages, benefits, or improved working conditions.

    Same thing with “ACAB”. Police are pigs not because they are assholes (though most are, that’s a different topic), but because of their systemic function in society.



  • Apples and Oranges mate. Such a shortsighted view to boil down all of the nuances behind the systemic reasons that people engage in political violence down to just “violence begets violence”.

    The right-wing assassin is a direct result of the Republican’s brand of vitriolic, jingoist rhetoric that tries to convince its cult that the country is “being invaded by evil foreigners”. Not because of the death of one CEO. His murder wasn’t anything special other than it got an exaggerated amount of media coverage because he was rich.

    Either way, America has been on this course for far, far longer then Luigi has even been alive. His alleged actions did not cause this. This story isn’t “just beginning”, it began almost a century ago and is now reaching its climax.

    And, just for the record, I still proudly cheer for the death of scum like that insurance CEO. He deserved so much worse than the quick death he was given. Who did commit the act is a hero for the people.
