It was time to take the motherfucker seriously 9 years ago.

Looks like Orange Dum-dum got his trade war.

I have to say, I knew I wasn’t quite old enough to make it to my grave without seeing the beginning of WW3, but the last thing I expected is that it would come from the US turning into a raging fascist dictatorship.

In other news, Hegseth renames the USSOCOM to Spetsnaz.

I think it’s really clever actually:

Zelensky knows Trump secretly - although less and less secretly - roots for Putin. He pretends to offer this deal to save face, but he really doesn’t want to provide any aid to Ukraine, which is probably why he and the couch fucker were so quick to get ill-tampered and call off the negotiations at the White House on Friday: the last thing they want is to find themselves in a position to have to help Ukraine against Putin.

Zelensky is calling them on their bluff and cornering them: either they don’t sign a deal after all and Trump’s duplicitous dealings will be exposed for all to see, or they do sign a deal and Trump will have to kill Russians in Ukraine, which is bad news for his relationship with Putin.

He is much too verbose, launches into side topics that have nothing to do with the subject on hand, and he speaks much too fast. But that’s his style. I believe he’s on the spectrum and doesn’t really know how to focus on what he has to say.

Having said that. I think Louis Rossmann wouldn’t be Louis Rossmann, or even be as efficient as he is, if he didn’t do that.

Funny how a man who claims to be the representative of God on Earth seems to be totally let down by the supernatural and entirely dependent on secular medicine for survival, like the rest of us. It’s almost as if he was nothing special at all…

And not a minute too soon.
Fuck Murdoch to hell and back with a rusty wire brush.

I have my own mannerisms because I have my own personality. I don’t need to copy nobody else’s, rich or poor.

I’m glad one more person discovered Linux is good in 2025.

I’m a random person too and I discovered Linux in 1993. Where’s my 15 minutes of fame?

Oh right, I’m not a Youtuber…

This deranged man will start WW3.

The problem is, this is the least of the problems posed by Trump, and we need all the energy focused on the shit he does that’s much more egregious. The Gulf of America is a distraction and Trump is doing it exactly on purpose to waste people’s energy on pointless shit and make them lose sight of what matters.

This is what Steve Bannon calls “flooding the zone”: come up with 3 outrageous items per day so people can only deal with one and let the two others pass. I suggest that we should deal with the Gulf of America later, after we’re done dealing with the destruction of the country, is what I meant.

I never tapered off. I replaced hard smoking with hard vaping almost overnight - and when I mean hard vaping, I mean big mods with big drippers, tons of power, tons of clouds, tons of nicotine.

I calmed down a bit with the vaping over the years because I didn’t feel I needed as much. Then one mornng, I simply left the mod at home and stopped vaping cold turkey.

Vaping had two functions for me:

• Inject nicotine into my system in a safer way than tobacco
• Reassure me that no matter what happened, as long as I had a mod nearby, I never needed to touch a cigarette again. And my most pressing source of anxiety was to want to smoke again.

After 10 years of vaping, I really felt like tobacco was well and truly alien to me at that point, so the “crutch” aspect of vaping disappeared. As for the nicotine, I figured I could always smear some nicotine base VG onto my gums. So I quit vaping but I left home with a bottle of nic that morning, but ended up never needing it.

That’s my tobacco cessation story. Everybody’s is different 🙂

Have remembered to set the reboot in future command since

That’s not a bad idea actually. I’ll have to reuse that one. Thanks!

Tobacco. 10,000%.

I smoked 3 packs a day for 25 years.

Then when vaping appeared on the scene, I switched to vaping - HEAVY vaping, loads of nicotine (you could buy 100 mg/ml nicotine base by the gallon for a few bucks back when it was still free). For 10 years.

Then finally I quit vaping. It’s been 5 years.

I’m finally free from tobacco. And it’s entirely thanks to vaping for me. I tried a million times and only vaping finally peeled me off tobacco (and then it took me 10 years to peel myself off vaping, but that was easier).

That’s what it took and how long it took me to get off tobacco. I curse the everlasting shit out of the day I took my first drag on a cigarette…

This is a server I was setting up. It’s not doing anything useful at all at the moment, hence the lax work practice. The only reason I drove back to work is because it’s needed tomorrow and I wanted to finish setting it up tonite.

In my defense, I just installed the machine. I was configuring it from home after hours.

Because I plain forgot I was remote. It’s as simple and as stupid as that.

Sheinbaum wasting her time and her country’s money on this is even sadder than Trump wasting ours.

It’s the everyday drudgery, miseries and annoyances that make the good times worthwhile. Just like you never appreciate the sun more than in a place that gets very little of it.

I currently live in a country that enjoys a very high standard of living and where people really do enjoy the good life. Yet weirdly enough, a lot of the locals are depressed and keep complaining. Why? Because they don’t realize what they have, because it’s their everyday normal.

As for what’s the point of living, if you don’t want to fall into the easy fallacies of religion, I suggest you simply enjoy your life while you can. You were born with a finite number of hours on this dirtball and they’re ticking away, so make sure you spend as many as you can with your loved ones having a good time. Because when the clock stops ticking, it’s over.
