  • Ah. We humans use the dumbest names for political camps by allowing such spurious intuitive labels. Even if the intentions are honest and straight forward at first, no one is static and free from the forces of change. One day, people will reject such primitive nomenclature, and look back on the present with pitiful disdain.

    That said, Canada must build pipelines due to the way they are integrated with the USA. Nearly all of y’alls capacity routes through parts of out fascist portalet netherworld below. Y’all have been extorted by the swampy Trurd water. Sorry. I can’t fix the inbred-quality, reality TV educated populism, and inherited wealth cancers. Chemotherapy is slow death. But y’all can recover, ole Maple. We’re late stage two-party terminal, with aggressive gerrymandering shutting down our vital organs.



  • I’m liberal. Open source EVs I can own and without the nonsense overhead of corrupt manufacturing. New ice vehicles are proprietary connected garbage too.

    Without standardization where parts are second and third source available, and any shade tree mechanic can service it, this is a dystopian nightmare with no future. This stupid oversight is poised to create extreme poverty and wealth disparity. Every connected proprietary car has no long term value and will never be some kid’s first car. It will never be the single mom’s car, or the elderly man’s. All of these people and circumstances are what have been sold out to lower levels of poverty than anything witnessed in over a century. I care about these people. Fuck proprietary cars and all authoritarians on the Right and Left. Intelligent people are liberal and smart enough to say I don’t have all the answers, and no one else does either. People with strong opinions and bold answers are the biggest monsters, harming everyone on the margins outside of their limited perspective view. I’m all for effective solutions, but I’m not selling autonomy and self determination to get there.


  • If you’ve got the money for booze, you have access to the information age. All it takes is three working brain cells to look up the effects of alcohol.

    In the past, when we were kids, it was possible to put off going to the library to look up something like the health effects of alcohol for your entire shortened life. Now, that library is in your pocket. People were mocked and ridiculed as nerds back in the day. Now, the tables are turned entirely. If you’re too stupid to look up whatever thing, you will get the same level of ostracization and ridicule that was once limited to the rare person motivated to try and do casual research. People always push away the unfamiliar. The line in the sand changes. That kind of behavior also costs everyone a fortune in the ameliorated medical expenses, so accessibility is curbed through cost.

    Plus in the western world, banks have been allowed to plunder the cost of living until we are totally non competitive with most of Asia. The cost of living is the real reason “”“nobody wants to work”“” and businesses turn to exploitation and theft of ownership. Those that used to drink and barely get by are now homeless, while the middle lives paycheck to paycheck, and the rest only have inherited wealth, which has no meritocratic filter and leads to rot and irrelevance. That last one is the real root of all of our cultural problems. Eliminate inheritance of anything more than funding an upper middle class life, for life, and all the problems go away with time. No loop holes, no medieval dynastic nonsense; intelligence and business acumen is not hereditary.



  • Hey dear, I should probably change my name here again bc this seems silly to explain… At present my displayed name is using obscure Unicode that apparently may not display correctly if a device does not have a very complete library of Unicode characters like mine. It should display like:

    The Wancho number 4 for the J is the least likely to render correctly as alpha kappa epsilon should render on most devices as these are nominal scientific notation.

    The underlying name is just leet. With j4k3 intended to be simple slang. Anyways, this is a convoluted way of trying to say, my name is simply Jake, not that it matters.

    Like religious text logic but less ambiguity...

    Actually, I had a moment of curiosity about the word choice with fascinate here.

    Etymology
    Borrowed from Latin fascinātus, perfect passive participle of fascinō (“to enchant, bewitch, fascinate”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from fascinum (“a phallus-shaped amulet worn around the neck in Ancient Rome; witchcraft”) + -ō (verb-forming suffix), itself of obscure origin.

    Verb

    fascinate (third-person singular simple present fascinates, present participle fascinating, simple past and past participle fascinated)

    • To evoke an intense interest or attraction in someone.
      The flickering TV fascinated the cat.
    • To make someone hold motionless; to spellbind.
      We were fascinated by the potter’s skill.
    • To be irresistibly charming or attractive to.
      Her gait fascinates all men.
