Bitching about computer nerd stuff 

Fuck the GNU Project. Just...fuck it. Fuck it to hell and back.

Turns out, setting the `POSIXLY_CORRECT` environment variable causes things to break, meaning that the GNU Project is doing things so far from standards, I literally *have* to use their fucking software on my Arch system, whether I like it or not.

Thanks, guys. I'm glad you're freeing me from the tyranny of not being able to control my own computer. You're doing a great job. /s

US Politics snark 

Don't get me wrong, there are some left-leaning trends in the Democratic Party, thanks to the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezes and Bernie Sanderses of the party, but, for the most part, fuck 'em.

Leftist mocking CNN Ad 

This is the system. Some people may try to tell you a Trump-Russia connection exists. They may yell "Trump-Russia, Trump-Russia, Trump-Russia". They may put in all caps "TRUMP-RUSSIA SMOKING GUN". You may even begin to believe that a Trump-Russia connection exists. But whether it exists doesn't matter. This...is the liberal media thinking Trump is an outlier and not the system working as intended.

There's also the risk that I do both. Honestly, I feel like the rabbitholes might merge at somepoint. At any rate, things aren't looking good for me.

Window manager rabbithole 

The other day, I found myself tempted by the allures of Window Maker. I ended up biting the bullet and downloading it. I don't know why, but I really like the aesthetic. It's so pretty. Anyways, so, long story short, I find myself torn between going so deep down the customisation rabbithole that I never return or going so deep down the loving old interfaces rabbithole that I can never use a modern system again.

First toot! Quick, think of something good!

Uh...
