Nonprofits encouraging people to scab for Amazon, so they can get that sweet, sweet 1% or whatever of every Prime Day purchase donated to their dusty coffers.

Other girls: Eat reasonable, if unhealthy food.

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.

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.

Window manager rabbithole

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.
