Fuck Vegas

 Sin City? Sounds more like Shit City to me now. Vegas always looked so cool and different, but that doesn't seem the case anymore. One of the only places in the country still enforcing mask mandates. It's always been portrayed as a city that never sleeps, but now a lot of places have shorter hours. How long has prostitution been legal in Nevada? Still not legal in Vegas though (Clark County). FUCKING WHY? and why doesn't anyone fight that in the courts? It's the same basic women's rights argument that keeps abortion legal. "Women have the right to do what they want with their bodies." Obviously, that should include selling access to the fun parts. RIGHT? Why isn't anyone even lobbying to lower the gambling/drinking age out there all these years? Either you're an adult at 18 or you're not. You'd think they'd be all over that shit by now, especially after the hit the casinos took with lockdowns etc. Don't say it's a federal law, so is weed, and states are taking it upon themselves to legalize that (which I totally agree with).

Fuck Linux

 I swear the distro developers just want to make it useless on purpose. I always run LTS distros (Kubuntu, Ubuntu, etc). I'm getting really fucking tired of finding out about an app I need, running apt-get to install it, and the fucking thing finds the app BUT installs a version from like 2 fucking years ago! WTF!?!? "Long term support" apparently doesn't include updating the motherfucking repository. Cunts. Call me crazy, but when I try to install a new app, I expect to get the most recent fucking version of it without jumping through hoops. Otherwise, apt-get is completely worthless to me.

Fuck Software Developers

 I used to write software. Some of the shit I wrote was rather complex too. Grabbing RAM from console emulators to compare, hex edit, and make gameshark codes back in the day, etc. Wrote a MIPS assembler/disassembler too. Did a little save editing in the 360 era but hated trying to crack checksums. I even used a library someone made to adapt my gameshark tool to straight up PS2 hacking via the broadband adapter. Everything I wrote, I did with ANSI C and Win32 API calls. Not totally platform independent, but not riddled with dependencies like shit is now. All my programs ran on any version of windows without needing any bullshit extra frameworks, libraries etc as well as running under Wine on linux.

Software nowadays is written by assholes who can't really code. Everything is dependencies on top of dependencies, and it's ridiculous. Nothing is a self-contained app anymore on Windows or linux. Every time I need to install a new app, I'm stuck figuring out how to install something else it depends on in linux or updating some bullshit framework on Windows. It's disgusting. I'd probably still be running Ubuntu 10.04 if Chrome and FF browsers weren't all cunty about dependencies and were compiled as compeltely self-contained apps like they should be. I still remember when Firefox was new and it was like 6MB. That's how far back I go. I started with Windows 3.1 and DOS. Win 2K/XP were my bread and butter, and many others refused to give them up. I made peace with Win7, but I've mostly been running linux the past 10 years. Refuse to run Win10.

An example for you, I downloaded the linux (debian) version of a relatively simple app called SaveWizard yesterday. Naturally, it wouldn't install because of bullshit unmet dependencies. It wanted some shit called "mono-complete." WTF is that??? So I try apt-get install the shit, but that's not good enough. It says it needs a newer version, so I have to Google the fucking thing to find out how to add the official repository, then install it. Then I can finally install the app I wanted. If they didn't code like assholes, the Windows version would run in Wine like the software I used to write.

Fuck Investment Bullshit

Seriously. Nobody is ever content just making money. Everyone has to complicate shit. Put it in the fucking bank and be happy. Fuck your Roth IRA, 401k, stocks, bonds, etc. Stop letting people fuck around with the money you earn. Just take it and save or spend. "Oh, but 401k defers taxes." Do you think the tax rate in 20 years will be lower or higher, asshole? You might as well pay it now and get it the fuck over with. Fuck fucking Wall Street too. It's one big circle jerk where the people with too much fucking money dick around with the economy. Shouldn't even be legal. Normal people should NOT be fucking around on the stock market or having to worry about the banks failing because of it.

Look at all these clowns using bots and running their asses off to get PS5s and Xboxes to scalp then selling them for a measly $100 over what they paid. Seriously. Be happy you have the $500 to buy one instead of doing all that shit just to get a little bit more. I'm literally more annoyed at the people who sell them for 100 or so above MSRP than the people trying to get $1000 for them. It's just a waste. I let my PS5 sit here for a while before opening it to see how high local prices would go on FB marketplace, but people kept listing them for $650-700 (after paying $530 including tax), so I didn't consider that worth the effort or worth waiting until after the holidays to get another one when they restock.

Fuck Ambition

Everyone seems like they're letting life pass them by nowadays. They're working stupid amounts of hours, and going to school into their 30s and 40s. It's ridiculous. Nobody really has time to enjoy life or have a serious relationship anymore. Everyone puts love on the back burner, and it pisses me off. Why does everyone think they need a goddamn Masters in everything now!? I don't care how many fucking degrees you have. It's a fucking job. It's what you do to pay the bills. If you're doing it more than 40 hours a week and have no social life, you're doing it wrong. I'll be 40 next year, and I've been alone most of my life. I don't want to be someone's weekend play thing. I want someone with actual free time.

Do I sound insane? "What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of not being able to make it to the toilet in time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?" ~Steve Buscemi (Con Air)

"Now tell me which ones are free. Free from debt. Anxiety. Stress. Fear. Failure. Indignity. Betrayal. How many wish that they were born knowing what they know now? Ask yourself how many would do things the same way over again? And how many would live their lives like me." ~Jack Reacher

Fuck 2020 - July Edition

Fuck all these paranoid people that are hiding at home and demanding more lockdowns. Fuck all the old people. If they'd fuck off and die in a timely manner nursing homes wouldn't need to exist. Those places are essentially death row for retirees, but you hear people whining those places need more test kits. Fuck em. They'll be dead soon either way. Stop clogging up the fucking labs. There's no cure. Testing isn't even that fucking important. If you're sick, isolate yourself at home until you're either better or dead. Simple.

Every country has the virus. It's not going anywhere. We're not getting rid of it until there's a vaccine or it burns itself out like the flu. Every time we open more things, the case numbers go up. So fucking what? If you want to hide at home, be my guest. Closing all the borders is fucking dumb. People in your country have it. People in my country have it. Wear a fucking mask. Nobody in their right mind is going to quarantine for 2 full weeks without symptoms. All they're doing with this shit is completely ruining the mental health of the world. Everyone's a prisoner in their home and the push back against lockdowns will keep growing. They had their chance with lockdowns, couldn't do it in a way that actually eliminated the virus, and scientists aren't coming up with a goddamn vaccine/cure nearly fast enough. Now fuck off and let everyone live.

Some positive things are happening in 2020 besides test results. Can't wait to see which countries end up in Guinness for the most cases, deaths, etc.

Gamestop will probably die sooner

Movie Theaters might die, which means more studios finally moving on to releasing streaming/disc day one instead of making us wait 6 months.

Everyone is finally demanding mail-in ballots to make it easier to vote without lining up somewhere like cattle. It's the 21st century. The fact we have online banking and all this other shit but people can't simply place their vote online is ridiculous and just shows how corrupt and technophobic all the ancient fucks who run this country are.

Maybe a few less politicians

Less old people

Less homeless

Less inmates

Oil industry took a huge hit. Fuck them.

A lot of people learned to make shitty masks. Why the fuck are so few people/companies making the kind you can tie on instead of the elastic shit that rips your fucking ears off!?

Hating China isn't nearly as racist anymore.

Protesters out blocking roads will likely get sick, so there's punishment even if the fucking cops won't arrest them.

Might get my inheritance sooner

Fuck Em If They Can't Take a Joke

Everyone is too fucking sensitive and everything is discrimination or bigotry nowadays. You can't take away peoples' right to be assholes. Some Starbucks barista is apparently in a world of shit over writing something on a Muslim woman's cup. There's a difference between discrimination and simply mocking people for following ancient superstition. She got what she fucking ordered, didn't she? Discrimination would be refusing to serve her. If they don't want labeled and mocked for their stupid shit, they should stop wearing head coverings and shit in the US. No different than labeling a cup "Pig" for a cop. You just know people are labeling cups for chicks with that ugly short haircut "Karen" knowing full well the bitch will have a meltdown over it. Gotta get some entertainment in your day, right? People come to this country to get away from theirs but don't really want to get away from their own backwards shit, nor do they have any respect for this country if they won't even learn our language properly. Then they wonder why they get mocked and treated differently.

Do we protect the idiots who have 50 piercings or tattoo ink on 80% of their body when they get turned down for jobs and people look at them funny for being different? NO. This should be no different. It's not about a color or specific faith. It's about people sticking out like a nun in a room full of hookers. It's about the assclowns who go on planes and refuse to sit next to a woman because they might get horny. The assholes that go door to door and try to convert you to their ridiculous beliefs. The assholes that wear stupid shit on their heads. The assholes who get jobs near alcohol and refuse to serve it. The assholes who get jobs at pharmacies and refuse to give women birth control. 

Ever hear the old expression, "Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me?" People need thicker skin. I'm not racist. I hate everyone. I hate religious people because they believe all their superstitious shit and demand everyone follow their doctrine or go to hell. I hate Atheists because they're pro-gun control. I hate Amish because of HOW they live and get in everyone's way with horses and buggies just as much as their lame ass religion. I hate ALL politicians. I hate people who think voting actually matters. I hate people who don't speak English properly. I also hate the word "barista," come to think of it. I hate people who wear funny hats and expect special treatment. I can't wear a cap for my driver's license photo, so take off the fucking hijab or you're not getting a driver's license. I don't care where your from or what you believe. That's what equality is all about. Same rules apply to everyone. Fuck you, your culture, and your beliefs. 

Most people who come from that region, whether it be middle east, India, or Philippines, typically have thick fucking accents and don't learn to speak English properly or clearly no matter how long they're here. Every fucking doctor you go to now is some foreigner, who spent 10 years in medical school, and you still can't fucking understand them cause they're too fucking lazy to learn the language. It was bad enough when we couldn't read doctors' writing. A friend of mine told me about a German student at his college that showed up not knowing a word of English but was speaking it perfectly within 3 months. Hell, half the blacks in this country barely speak the fucking language! The word is "ASK," NOT "AXE" idiots! I say "black" because it's a fucking color and I'm too lazy to write out the more politically correct term. Just as I consider myself WHITE, not fucking caucasian. Whoever came up with that word was a stupid cocksucker.
