miscellaneous musings
Akima:
Jezebel? Seriously? What is this, the 17th century?
If that's your spirit animal, get it stuffed and stick it in a museum.
GarandMarine:
SSgt Oldschool is old.
But I too am broken, angry and need whiskey and cigarettes to avoid being utterly consumed by my hatred of all things.
Method of Madness:
I missed the word "jezebel" in there at first and thought Akima was talking about the website and was momentarily confused because websites were rare in the 17th century :parrot:
GarandMarine:
And now for something completely different. Spoilered cause it's fairly dark and references shit people might find disturbing. You have been warned.

Been listening to this a lot recently. Seems even as many countries get safer disorder in one form or another is on the rise. Trust for law enforcement and other indicators of healthy social order at an all time low in the United States while politicians and their ilk vainly grasp for still more power attempting to secure their pathetic little mole hills. This is why I get so frustrated when it becomes "right vs. left" does it really matter which boot's one your neck so long as it's there?
We are not too long from Death Camps and Industrial Murder. The cries of "never again" after the Holocaust fell on deaf ears, with America herself operating internment camps during the war for a section of her populace, and mass murder on scales beyond even Hitler's wildest imagination would continue well into the next century, some starting their killings before Hitler's corpse was even cold in Berlin. Still we turn to the State and State power as succor and defense, when such things are without fail abused.
Even as we become more and more plentiful, our abundance and knowledge growing day after day, saber rattling and the need to posture on the world stage between traditional enemies and traditional allies, with the old nightmares of greed and religion poisoning the well water even as the policitians splash around. The usual disorder in the Middle East has taken on a new and particularly dangerous color, while Russia has moved tactical nuclear weapons into it's recently annexed territories in Europe. While NATO seems to have no will to fight Russia's paper bear it's even less likely to do so under the specter of nuclear threat.
It's not so bad in the end, I'm just in a shitty mood, but I could see it all going to hell so easily... we call ourselves civilized, but in the end we are only human, and humanity is civil like a tiger or other larger predator is passive, only till it is hungry again. Many camps on all sides call for the censoring and moderating of speech for one reason or another, perhaps burning books and outlawing certain forms of speech altogether is next? As Heine said "Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings."
I'm just in a bad mood... but it's still five minutes to midnight.
In far lighter news ZoeB is helping me look for potential work in Australia. So far it looks like the $5 Million AUSD Visa is my best option >.>; still having one of those moments where it feels like senpai has noticed me.
No I'm not sure if either of us is kidding.
Also Zoe thought I was 50. She had a good recovery, but still. Not sure how to feel about that. *slinks off to be old and smell of whiskey*
Method of Madness:
Wait, as in...buying a visa for five million dollars?
Edit: Just looked it up and...pretty much!
