    I’ll tell you a story:

    One summer, I went on vacation in Europe. I rented a car and hopped from friend to friend, touring around.

    When I came back, one of my workmates asked me:

    “So you drove quite a few miles! How did you cope?”
    “What do you mean ‘cope’” I replied
    “Well, Europeans drive on the left. Wasn’t it confusing?”
    “W…What?”

    Turned out, the dude was totally convinced only Americans drove on the right.

    Americans are fucking clueless about everything going on outside of their country, and largely clueless about what goes on inside of it too. They’re honestly shamefully ignorant.



  • Nope. They’re headed straight towards jackboot dictatorship.

    If nothing else, Trump and his henchmen are proving day after day that the Americans talking big about their god-given Second Amendment right that keeps the government in check as the reason to own so many firearms and overlook so many deaths by firearm was basically a pretense: this is literally the scenario when they swore right and left they would exercise it and they aren’t.

    All a bunch of phoneys, is what they are. And they’re getting the nasty dictatorship they richly deserve.




  • Er… duh.

    Facebook’s entire business model consists in invading as much of everybody’s privacy as possible and monetizing people’s private data. Its “products” are just honeypots to attract marks to milk for private data. You didn’t really think they turned a profit selling electronic sunshades did you?

    If someone is stupid enough to buy a pair of those and put themselves under surveillance by Facebook, it’s their problem. But if I ever see anybody looking at me with those glasses on their face, they’d better remove them pronto when I ask them to or I’ll become bellicose rather quickly.




  • Don’t.

    Because what he left out is that for those 5 minutes of peaceful enjoyable smoking, you have to endure the rest of the day craving, smelling like dog shit, getting an earful from your supervisor at work because you’re constantly out for a smoke, spending your life’s savings at the tobacconist, and driving 20 miles in the middle of the night to find a pack of smokes in a convenience store in the middle of the night when all the other stores are closed. Not to mention long term health issues of course.

    That’s an expensive 5 minutes of enjoyment, trust me on that one.










  • Google does not automatically mean bad

    Yes it does.

    Google does everything with an angle, and that angle is putting you under surveillance and collecting monetizable data on you.

    Google has (or had, maybe?) fantastic products. They’re truly great! The translator, the map, Youtube… But they’re great for exactly the purpose of luring you into using them, so they can abuse your privacy with them.

    Google products are trojan horses: they’re irresistible but their true purpose is nefarious.
