This is all the inevitable conclusion of having a whole political system based on open, legal bribery.

@FlashMobOfOne I think it's just people deliberately going to a place where they hope to cause trouble and disrupt whatever it is going on, more so than anyone naturally just that clueless. Hanlon's Razor is bullshit nonsense that bad people use to camouflage intent.

Imagine going to the theatre and being upset that you see The Gays?

(the truth is that it's just religious fundamentalists out trying to disrupt shows using anything they can as a pretext)

Reading people defend/attack Kendrick about the Superbowl and I feel like someone is reading to me Klingon poetry that was written in Elvish.

@fu Free trade with Chinese characteristics.

I think it would be a nice gesture to kill all kings and queens and emperors and nobles, not just the local ones.

Commit to magical bloodlines all you like so long as you know the price is an open grave.

It's amazing what happens when you spike the cost of living, on purpose, and then blame all the fallout on tankies and Russian trolls. It's weird to see it happen in several places at once.

I pray to God that #China just burst the AI bubble with this stunt and that a lot of people lose vast fortunes over it. Why? That's what five different companies get for trying to force their five different versions of the same thing on me at least three to five times a week.

I hope they all burn.

@FlashMobOfOne It's the reasons for even wanting it to begin with that elude me. People want to talk to their families that much?

As someone who doesn't have "real" social media, at all, I find it it exciting how folks have trouble leaving Meta behind. I ain't judging, it's like people talking about a colour I cannot see?

"Patrick, you seem to actually believe God is kinda sorta maybe more than a little evil and it doesn't bring you any comfort at all, so why is it you believe in God again?"

I think it's hardwired in my brain somehow.

I better hope God is actually forgiving. But on the other hand, what can God actually accuse me of that God isn't guilty of, at much worse scales, Himself?

That's my answer to #Theodicy that God is guiltier than you of every bad thing you've done, so God has to absolutely forgive everyone of everything they did bad because it's much more monstrous of a God with near infinite power to spend fractions on fixing the world when we humans have near no power and spend huge amounts on that project.

Now I just angry pray at God, pointing out how sad it is that God seems so abjectly weak in the face of the evil in the world.

"Gee, God, wow, boy does it look like you are totally uncaring about the plight of people on this planet and just seem like a total assclown! Wow, I bet the divine plan's gotta be really good to want to look like that short-term."

Or I will acknowledge Garbage Day by pointing out that it really does seem stronger and more powerful than God, and that's weird.

Why would #God hate Patrick, you ask?

Easy. I came up with this thing called Garbage Day, which I originally would sing to the tune of the chorus from Jesus Christ Superstar. I love that musical unironically I would sing it to taunt God for the Divine inaction in terms of Bullshit and Bad Shit.

Bad Shit? Murder, rape, famine, and disasters of every kind.

Bullshit? Did you lose $5, stub your toe, misplace a favourite pair of socks?

Patrick, you didn't invent Theodicy you know? Duh, asshole.

@FlashMobOfOne I fondly recall his yellow cake bit, back in the Bush days. I hate his guts and I find him funny, which is awkward.

Biden campaigned to the right, governed to the right, and spent his last two weeks retiring to the center. Better than nothing I guess? Shame about the legacy of genocide and being so incompetent the country went over to the fascists.

I like fans.

I like the feeling of air blowing on me, no matter the temperature, and I like the white noise. The partner does not appreciate the gentle breeze. That is why we own two glorified speakers that play fan sounds. The model I like can run off a rechargeable battery for days. Glorious for when the power goes out.

I miss the air flow though.

Trudeau's economy, just like Canada's housing policy, worked exactly as it was intended to work for the people it was meant to work for.

@FlashMobOfOne I am not so old that I do not remember enjoying things and having so many things to look forward to. Now I feel like there are things to enjoy, it's just that they are not often and I have to spend a lot of time finding them.

I think my partner and I are dead on the inside.

We've been watching lists of upcoming things for 2025 and really the only thing that had both of us interested was Mickey 17. You'd think there would be something else out there and you'd be wrong.
