Since I am doing my best to give up on social media I decided to look for news sites to read. This would give me different sites to check and let me stay informed. It would also save me the hassle of filtering out bullshit from people pretending to be others by paying for Twitter Blue. With that said, I am having an issue where every news site kind of sucks ass. I know I can just use Google News, but my Google News keeps showing me celebrity news and other things I don’t care about. It seems like a glitch when it shows me a news story I am interested in. I am also trying to ditch Google News. I want to help lessen Silicon Valley’s control on the net. The problem with that is news media groups are making that really fucking hard to do.

I ain’t crying crocodile tears for Stack Overflow
Every now and then I peep at social media to see what’s going on. I’ve not interacted with anyone, but I do this just to stay informed with the happenings. Today was one of those days and what I saw floored me. People are spreading this weird lie that AI is killing Stack Overflow. Then I am seeing posts about people being sad over the demise of Stack Overflow! Why!? Stack Overflow is quite literally a forum full of those Linux assholes who ruin any chance of there ever being a year of Linux, but instead for every programming language possible. I am happy Stack Overflow is dying. Yes, I will explain why I, and quite a few of my friends, have all stopped using the site and are waiting for the day where we can say, “Rest in piss”.

When you become a teacher people will often ask you, “Why did you become a teacher?” When you’re a teacher who is seemingly good at lots of things, and other people consider you smart, you hear that question a lot. The truth is I stumbled onto teaching. Even before I officially became a teacher I was teaching people random things. When I first started I was pretty bad at it, but my pupils still learned. There was a lot for me to learn about teaching, especially since I started teaching around the age of 14. I can’t remember when my first time truly teaching someone something was. However, I do remember the first time teaching someone something earned me respect.

I hate smartphones. I fucking hate them. I hate apps. I hate how apps and smartphones ruined the internet. The truth about apps is all of them fucking suck. I just bought a new phone because my old phone was dying and finally I replaced it. I am currently locked out of quite a few very important apps on my new phone. In fact, for some of them I am locked out of them on both phones. This always happens and it’s fucking annoying. For security reasons, I can’t specify which apps, because apps are such pieces of shits when it comes to basic security that mentioning what apps you’re having login issues with makes you easier to hack.

I used to subscribe to Scott Falco. I loved his animations. However, as he got more and more into streaming he was focusing so much on his ToonTuber plugin that he stopped animating. Then when he made animations again he was relying on the ToonTuber plugin. It just looked awful/lazy. Sure it works for a stream, but not an animation. The main reason I unsubscribed from his channel wasn’t because of the ToonTuber, that was just a negative that popped up from him focusing on streaming. No, the reason I unsubscribed is because all he focuses on is streaming. While he is a funny guy, and a good gamer, I don’t care for streams. I just want to see his animations. I’m sure I am not alone in this because since he’s started to focus more and more on streaming he’s complained about his channel losing subs and views. FlashGitz had to learn this the hard way too, Scott. We just want you to make the content we enjoy.

I promise you, unless something weird happens, this will be the last “modern internet sucks” post for a bit. I can’t promise a while, but I can promise at least a week and a half. I’ve started to play Battle Bit Remastered lately. It is an insanely fun game, and has sold really well. Today there were over 40k people playing. I bring this up because the way the devs communicate to their audience is fucking retarded. They seem to post their roadmaps and every bit of dev diary-like info in Discord. Discord fucking sucks and if you post it there then it is locked off from the internet, unless people join your server. This makes it impossible for someone to simply Google this bit of information.

You know one of the nice things about having my own website? I don’t need to worry about getting banned. In my last post I wrote the word “suicide”. When writing it I hesitated for a few minutes. I was thinking of what phrase I should use instead of “suicide” but would still drive the point home. Writing “uninstalled from life”, “committing not live”, and all of the other ways we’ve come up with to dance around the subject doesn’t have the same impact, if anything it lessens it. While I was editing it I caught myself on “suicide” again. I spent a few minutes thinking of how to edit it out until it finally dawned on me: who is going to ban me?

One of the funniest things to me is when guys think they’ll be the winner whenever they ask for an open relationship or to go to orgies/swinger clubs. I am going to tell you right now. If you think you’ll be king dick and have the cream of the crop, you’re sorely mistaken. I saw a post about a wife complaining that her husband wanted an open relationship. He backed out of the idea when she decided to join Tinder and got hundreds of matches within the first day. He most likely had someone flirting at work with him and he thought his wife was used goods. Turns out he’s worth less than a pair of used gym socks and his wife is top shelf liquor.

Would you look at that, two posts back to back! Well, kind of. I want to anounce a few changes for the site and my life. Going forward I will start to microblog here. These will be small posts that shouldn’t go over 700 words. I am doing this because there’s a wide range of things I’d like to comment on, but there’s not enough meat for a full blown post. This also has the bonus of encouraging people to check here more often. There will be more things to read, even if they’re shorter.

When you take a few months off you need to come back with something worth the wait, right? This is a post I’ve been wanting to write for almost two years now since I first started to look into how the fringe right happened. Like, how the fuck did QAnon happen? I started to notice specific patterns on social media which piqued my interest. So, I did a bit of digging. Upon digging I came to a few shocking conclusions. Before I go over what I found out I want to address something that is related. Have you seen those people who claim someone is a nazi/SJW by taking shit out of context? Someone who thinks they’re an intellectual and will try to claim someone as part of the alt-right/whatever the term for the fringe left is these days. Remember kiddos, just because you can read doesn’t mean you know how to. Basic reading comprehension is extremely important. If you lack that then you lack the ability to read, at least in my eyes. I’m stressing this at the start because I already know a bunch of slow pokes will use this post to frame me in whatever way they want by taking shit out of context because I am exposing the grift/flaws of their thinking. Alright, that’s enough making fun of the people who would fail my 3rd grade English class. Let’s dig into what I found. I don’t need to write anything catchy here. The title explains it already.
