  • Don’t be a sovereign citizen. The worst mistakes I’ve seen people pull is argue the law with cops. Cops are like robots, they’re going to be spamming commands after commands. There is no room to debate, so shut up and comply, debate the rest of the shit in court later.

    And when you get to court, the worst mistake here is running your mouth about things you only have an idea of, but not the complete story. This is why it’s advisable to get a lawyer.

    I’ve watched a court case where my sister tried to defend herself, least partially even with a lawyer. She lost a custody case because she tried driving her narrative to sway court judgment. Don’t be an idiot, like her.


  • Sucks to be a Chrome user today since Google neutered uBlock.

    But really, people undervalue the capability of uBlock. It blocks a lot. I can watch Tubi content - adfree. I can get Netflix’s $7 base plan with ads and no ads with uBlock. Same with generally any streaming service. Has a bit of a trouble working with Twitch which lead to me dropping Twitch altogether.

    But man people are missing out a lot and just putting up with so much shit that they don’t ever have to if they’d just shut up, download Firefox and uBlock and just get with the rest of us.



  • Smart-anything is just a dumb novelty design because rich techie users are about as wowed as dangling plastic toy keys infront of an infant. Nearly nothing is anymore useful when it becomes ‘smart’ and largely gets that title because of it’s capability to connect to the internet and just become another app for data-farming services to nag you over.

    These things are just also another way to rob people more money because they’re going to have more models, the company is going to talk down to you for being filthy and not upgrading. You’re going to spend a lot of time dealing with a lot of variables that people already have presented for having a smart device and this is where the argument of “old is always better” comes into play.


  • I’ve had to drop Monster Hunter World, it’s a game that I was so enamored by to play, had it on my wishlist for months and months. Seen many of my friends play it. I really dig what’s there. I finally had it gifted to me by a friend and I gave it an honest try.

    Who at Capcom, decided it was the best idea to not give that game a way to pause the game or skip the cut scenes? Like, I hope that person is fired because that is how you just brush away all of the patience one has for waiting for things to finally give you back control.

    And it’s because of that, I now have to leave it collecting digital dust.

    There were also many popular games that people have recommended so highly to me before that I just got and tried playing and ended up not liking. I ended up finding myself revisiting free games, older games and vice versa than playing what people recommended me. I’m sorry but a lot of AAA games are just boring experiences that have drained all of the good ideas that could’ve been much more.



  • Because Facebook isn’t treated seriously like a news format, a lot of my friends don’t go on Facebook to read the news, and neither do I. Most of the time, articles are only posted to drive a certain narrative, that’s how Facebook works.

    And yes a lot of the time I don’t read a news article past the headline. Mostly is because I’m bombarded with “PLZ ACCEPT COOKIES AND WE GIV U NO CHOICE TO DISAGREE” some of the time. The screen grays out. Some news outlets blur some of the article. I’m nagged to subscribe and shit.

    Why the fuck would I then want to read it? I’ll only read what I’m interested in, I don’t want to read an entire article of “oops, the world sucks today” or “Trump is fucking things up again” or “uh you’re going to hell” and whatever. Why would I want to read that in-depth?
