Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

1984

  • I’ve heard of predictive policing. That’s where an AI and/or algorithm gathers data from an area, splits it into sections, and identifies what type of crime tends to be committed in what areas on what days. The type of law enforcement, whether it be motorcycle, walking, or cars, is dispatched accordingly to keep crime in Read more

    Today has been difficult. I guess it’s to be expected. I’ve had a couple of precious months where I almost felt stable. Good, bad, or ugly, I didn’t break down. Last night I started to feel mentally wobbly and almost lost it over trash of all things. This morning, I started out okay, but I Read more

    I’m apprehensive about the SNAP thing. It doesn’t affect me. I’m not on SNAP, but given my history, I know food access shouldn’t be denied. It can be limited, difficult, have self-imposed boundaries, or medical restrictions. But denied? No more food stamps? It’s not just that. Americans have little to no, generally speaking, financial comprehension. Read more

  • 9/24 Truth to Power

    I hate catch phrases that relate to excuses. “This is the way it has to be” for example. No, that’s not the way it has to be, That’s a lazy man’s excuse. “It is what it is” is another bs line. Nothing is what it is. It’s what we perceive it to be, not what Read more

  • 9/11

    It’s disheartening. Over the past couple of days, America has some rapid fire situations. I use the word situations loosely as I’m not sure how to describe them. First, there was the delayed story of the Ukranian refugee, Iryna Zarutska. The violence occurred on August 22 but wasn’t widely reported on until last week, nearly Read more

  • Baby Suppression

    It has occurred to be that the lower to nil birth rate is intentional. A lot of it can be traced back to the World Economic Forum and social trends. It’s intentional reproductive suppression. Just spit balling here: * Sterilization and birth defects through vaccinations. * With the rise of the gig economy, maternity leave Read more

    My word of the week is – psyops. A psyops is a psychological manipulation that causes an audience to change their behavior, thinking, culture, and objective. These manipulations are created through media, government, organizations, and foreign powers. My current list includes, but is not limited to: – Body positivity– GMOs– LGBT– Ultra Processed Foods– Climate Read more

    Well, I finally did it.  I brought some sort of legitimacy to my blog.  I actually paid for a two year subscription at 40% off, of course.    I am now unofficially and officially a paying customer and part of the WordPress community.   What is so frustrating is the process. I started this blog when I got out Read more

  • 1984 is a wonderful novel penned by Orwell somewhere in the late 1940s.  (1949, I think.)  If you’re unfamiliar, the novel, set roughly 30 years before the date it was supposed to happen, is the birth of the Thought Police, Big Brother, and thoughtcrime, and other words that have (oddly and easily) become part of Read more
