Veg Out

I’m not sure I’d rather be dead than be vegan, but it’s not an easy decision I have to admit.

As you get older, you begin to realize how much history that preceded your memory must be wildly incorrect as you (to borrow a phrase from someone else) receive passionately confident but absurdly incorrect lectures about events from those too young to remember them regarding history that you personally lived through.

If people in some cases not even one generation removed from what occurred often get it so wrong, I can’t even imagine how much we misapprise and misrepresent something that happened 500 or a thousand years ago.

I think about this now any time I read about any “historical” event.

I miss when walmart use to be open 24/7.

I miss when more things in general used to be open 24/7 and the shelves were always fully stocked. I thought that would return after the pandemic; I was wrong.

We need all our 24 hour places back again.

One of my biggest millennial complaints is that there are now "apps" in Windows.

Who is this for? People who are too intimidated by "application" or ".exe?" Why are we phone-ify-ing everything? Can the zoomers read?

I always think they’re talking about “appetizers.”

And no, largely, Gen Z cannot read and has very poor social skills. It’s like they got the worst of both worlds in a corporate hellscape. Bad deal, man.

Rising Recess

Suspension of inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong.

Buncha stuff about to get fucked, y’all.

I’d put Great Recession II: Immiseration Boogaloo chances at 80% now.

TM Footage

February 5, 2025, 12:20 AM Chill War, WTF

Dual POV footage of a Ukrainian FPV failing to detonate outside a Russian bunker, and a RU soldier who films the same unexploded FPV from inside. A Ukrainian heavy bomber drone is then sent in to drop an anti tank mine on the same bunker and unexploded FPV.

No gore or death in this one, but this war has just provided some insane footage.

FYI the Russians almost certainly evacced that bunker before the anti-tank mine hit it — that’s why the footage exists. There was probably a 20-45 minute delay before that TM-62 got dumped on it.
