I’m sceptical about all this. In fact, I’m sceptical about everything!
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 days ago:
I’m confused by the pessimistic reactions, though.
Companies converging towards the semi-open platform is a good thing. The locked down hardware and exclusives are not something we as customers asked for. It was something the cartel just shoved down our throats.
What bothers me is the backwards compatibility that microsoft has always just hand-waved in regards to the sunsetting of the xbox HW. A clear yes or no would be nice.

And have one more competing product if they ever decide to try again? How dare you! :D

- Comment on I'm sure a good lot of you, like me, had been anticipating/dreading that moment when we say, oh fuck this is it, for real. Like the BIG oh fuck. My question is, how ready are you? 5 days ago:
I was sitting at the neurology office. As the doctor starts to scroll through the pictures of the inside of my head I see a huge blob. Well, this is it, I thought. It’s finally happening…
But then I remembered that scene from the Breaking Bad. These pictures can be decieving if you don’t know how to read them.
“Looks clear” the doctor says. “That thing? Probably just some calcificate…”
But now I know. I’m not ready.

- Comment on If someone tells you that communism has led to famines in the USSR and China, that it doesn't have any incentives and that anyone who supports it use products of capitalism, how do you counter this? 2 weeks ago:
when you take land from the people
But that’s the main characteristic of communism. The ruling class takes the resources from the people to misallocate them.

- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 3 weeks ago:
I am still confused. Aren’t locks modular and easily swappable on the other side of the ocean?
This is how they look here. You can just swap it without changing the looks of the door in any way.

- Comment on The man who drove his car into 100 people should be able to drive again, Judge rules. 5 weeks ago:
I feel bad for the people being judged. Imagine keeping a straight face looking at the guy with a funny wig doing the most serious grown up job and pretending it’s just normal.

Stop hurting yourself. More protein, less starches and sugar.

Why do you think USA needs even more mismanagement and authoritarianism? Isn’t trump bad enough already?
- Comment on At this point, should we form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation? 1 month ago:
Some say it’s useless to overthrow a government, because the first thing people do after is create another government. It’s highly unusual to skip the first step, though.
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 1 month ago:
Believe it or not, these were invited by a certain asshole sitting in the government at the time. I can only assume this is how the friendly visit looked like back in the day. Different time, different customs…

He would be made out of the snake body and the lion head!
Finally a reason to tell everyone I’ve discovered gnosticism. It’s like normal religion, but for pessimists. On the other hand, so many Therion songs just make sense all of a sudden.

The lawyer of the Techno Viking asserts that his client had never been a public figure and that he did not want to become one.
His half naked client dancing in the middle of a busy street has a strange way of practicing his privacy.
