    Well it seems most self-proclained “lefties” here have an appalling understanding of what that is and below the shallows they are quite misaligned with that side of the spectrum. Their words they one thing, their behaviour and outbursts a much more truthful thing. The term is nothing more than a Get Out of Jail FREE card for them.


  • I haven’t done web work for well over a decade and recently was surprised to learn that Wordpress is still very relevant. I remember back then, seeking alternatives as we expected it to become more of a legacy thing a few years down the track, so we were on the lookout for future-proofing client sites with a better foundation. At that point it was a decade old and annoying af because it morphed into a messy way of doing websites because people misused it’s original purpose. Brain had to think like a blog and then trick it into doing what you want, kind of like using tables to structure pages before CSS-P saved the day.

    Where I recently moved to, everything is a 10-20 min drive away, but buses can be over an hour because how poorly they’re done. Apparently they used to be quite bad, but recent changes made them awful and no one understands how the new routes and timetables managed to be approved and implemented.








  • That’s the question. It’s the perception of others and conformity of traditional social stereotypes. The more someone has bitten into old gender stereotypes and roles—or just gender in general—the more it’s of concern to them. It’s the same as buying into hair colour, tit size, height, etc. and thinking these define you somehow, based on old sociial opinions of them. But the truth is, it’s all faux. Man-made. Nothing in the universe cares about it except human society. If there were no society, you would not know what these concerns are. You would wear whatever the fuck you want because it’s all about practicality,.not having an identity projected toward stranger’s opinions and society.

    For real, people got to let go of “gender” as perceived by societal roles/ideas aka the views strangers and how they identify you.

    Everyone should be rocking dresses in hot times! They are the closest you can get to the pleasantness of rocking it all balls out around the house, but with some sun protection.

    I strongly encourage everyone to take up a sarong. And if you think that’s “faggy” you can take it up with Polynesian warriors. Who, I’ll remind you, were the only ones to actually fucked British Colonialism.

    When I arrived again in Australia, floods happened again—hm, maybe I’m the problem—anyway! Insurance companies were trying to get out of payments by saying flood damage was covered as a result of flooding from rain. And yes, rain obviously caused the flooding, but the rain occured up on mountains which then flowed down and flooded areas below.

    The government regulators got onto it straight away.

    The final attempt argument was something like “The insurances cover water coming from above, not below.”

    Regulators didn’t have a bar of it. Insurance companies had to do—get this—insurance.

    Everyone was happy except for insurance companies and the people that lost their homes and got financially held up for over a year as the insurance companies tried to find any leftover money for payouts because the rest was in funds. Of course.



  • I’m starting to get old.

    I can smart my house in a fully closed network and automate so much shit. But then I have to stay on top of it. I’m already at the point where it’s becoming a chore to catch up on the industry for new hardware for my rigs and I’ve done it so many times; it’s not fun anymore, it’s a job… I’m tired.

    Solace is found in my headphones and a fire pit. The day Steam becomes fuckery, I’m retiring from technology and fully absolving myself into disconnection.

    Hell of a time to be born, but fatigue.

    Edit: Ah, who amI kidding? I’m a career data analyst. I’ll be chasing digital dragons until I die



  • It’s like Alphabet hate guaranteed money.

    “How can we boost the next six months of investment for sake of stable income over the next decade?”

    “More ads. Studies show everyone with internet access fucking loves them.”

    *Brilliant! Welcome to entry level lower senior-ish management, Jenkins."

    “YESSSSS! I can’t wait to tell the family about this when I’m on leave from this wonderfully accommodating work campus. All hail, G.”

    “All hail, G.”
