The USA might actually win in Greenland.
There's no farmers, trees, or communists there to beat them like in Vietnam.
Those three things are the biggest weaknesses of empires.

Look, all I'm saying is that I call tell when electronic music was made by a sweaty guy in his mom's basement OR by some guy in a suit.
That's the spectrum.
One has soul and the other exists to make a profit.

Oddly enough, the best way to get the jehovah Witnesses to leave you alone is to join their cult and leave it.

Every Facebook post I see with more than 10 comments is usually full of rabid and racist comments calling for oppressed groups to be killed or removed. Or just open racism and other forms of bigotry. Just entire threads of it.

I 50/50 believe the rumors #Half-life3 is coming out with the #GabeCube.
I decided to play through the franchise again in case it comes out.
I finished Black Mesa last night and started Half-life 2.
I hadn't played 2 since at least the late 2000s. HL 2 is so frickin' good, dude.

Get fucked Microsoft.
I just finished helping my father switch to Linux Mint from Windows 10.
It's a really old laptop, but he says it works way faster now.

I don't trust the Microsoft updates anymore. I have the little icon on the task bar that is asking me to restart to update.
I'm dreading Microsoft updates now.
I'm likely going to make my full move to Linux with a backup win11 gaming laptop just in case that I rarely use.

Microsoft sure was ahead of their time with the Xbox One.
They knew back in 2013 that everyone who had one would be using it primarily as a media device in 2025.
Games? who cares? YouTube and the other apps are all you need.
Such visionaries.

I use Kubuntu 24.04 on my daily driver laptop.
I have tried other browsers, but frankly, Edge is the only one that implements split screen within the browser correctly.
I've tried Zen, Vivaldi, Brave, and Firefox nightly, etc. All of those have some quirk I don't like, or the split screen sucks.

The most aggravating things about the #NintendoSwitch2 are the following.
1. #Switch2 games and the console are too expensive. Especially the games.
2. There is no #YouTube app for the Switch2 yet. It launched months ago. Just, WHY?

My fitbit gave me a sleep score of 90/100. My previous best was 84/100 ever.
I'm sure I'll get even better after I'm used to it.

So, I tried reading Bell Hooks' book "All About Love," but it was really boring, and it wasn't really saying anything.
I got to around page 33 and put it down. This was like a year ago.
Is this book actually worth picking up again? Or is is a pass?

If your parents ask, Groypers are just incel, hyper-male supremacist 4chan fascists who like to pretend they are catholic nationalist conservatives because it's more palatable to the average person.
It's not complicated. Fascists love lying and shitposting. You can't trust anything they say.
