Have you ever seen the districts around Chicago?

They all fucking do it.

Top one is Charlie Luciano.

Middle one is Al Capone.

My hatred for other humans, especially in their online multiplayer behavior, faaaaar outweighs what you brought up.

I'm not arguing against it or against it being done. But I am going to laugh at "when they go low, we go high" mentality.

I mean I've watched as most of my life nobody hesitates to call Texas Secession discussions treasonous and mock it. But suddenly this year there's lots of talk of California Secession without the same mockery.

I'm not saying don't do it. But it's all fucking hypocritical and we as a people are fucked.

Just got done switching to Bazzite and couldn't be more satisfied. Super similar to Steam Deck. Almost everything on the gaming rig worked right away.

My bookmarks are heavily organized with foldering and structure, named concisely for what they are, and typically only allowed to be frequent visit type of sites. If they're stale and old, they get removed.

This cartoon makes me think of those people with desktops full of documents and links. Makes me anxious when I see that.

Earlier this year Costco was in the news effectively telling the Cheeto Nazi administration to get fucked and they reinforced their standing behind their DEI policies.

That's just one example. I don't think they are the capitalist enemy you should focus on. I'm inclined to believe them on this one.

Growing up in all this (both school and church), I remember a few arguments teachers and church leaders would make:

  • Essentially there was a short period of "incest is okay to get things rolling" until it wasn't.
    • The sons had children with their mother to get that ball rolling.
    • There were tons of other kids not named and the siblings did it.
  • A theory about other people outside the garden of Eden. This is almost certainly true since some translations clearly imply the existence of other people/towns when Cain is leaving. This is also the most plausible answer.
  • We don't know cause Genesis was likely written by Moses thousands of years later from flawed oral history

Also, the same issue and questions arise again in some ways after the Flood and Noah's Ark. The resulting cousins all had kids together?

Mostly I remember these apologetics kind of discussions just got us in trouble for asking obvious questions and questioning logic.

While I massively criticize religion anymore, what I will say is that my belief was these religious scripts are possibly holding some truths, but the oral history, telephone game of it all, AND ancient peoples not knowing how to properly explain things results in what we have here, which, if taken literally, is fucking stupid.

It helps to think of the Bible and most religious texts as fables rather than history.

What helps solve all of this is not playing online hype games. Single player ftw.

"In early July 2025, PayPal notified Valve that their acquiring bank for payment transactions in certain currencies was immediately terminating the processing of any transactions related to Steam," Valve wrote.

I just assume this is related to trying to control morality yet again.

For those who were fans of 36 Crazyfists, this is Brock's new band. Released in May, the entire album is incredible. But I think the title track in particular goes hard lyrically, and I feel like it makes sense if you know Brock's history, especially the stories behind Left Hand Charity and Time and Trauma from 36CF.

Misery You were the only friend to me And the long hard stare Down the barrel of despair
