it is fair to say that the turks wanted to  be romans, but the romans did not want to be turks. so, the turks tried to model themselves afte...

yeah, the going price seems to be roughly $10/stick, meaning it would cost me $40 to buy a backup set and $80 for two. and then i need to pa...

i don't need the ram enough to pay $100 for it... but, i'll keep an eye out for it.

no sd ram for sale in windsor or ontario, for that matter... this is a 1998 model board. i need to get it while i still can, because it wont...

so, i went to boot the reconstructed machine and... nothing. shit. no beep codes? no pc speaker. so, i had to build a new pc speaker out of ...

so, i've rebuilt the hardware in the machine, at least. but i don't have the iso i was looking for... i was able to find an iso at a...

i may have an iso of it on my storage drive.

if i still have that pile of old install discs, i don't know where it is. i think i left it outside my door once in the old apartment, w...

so, if i go back to june 15th, 2017 and read forwards to about july 15, 2017 i think i'll have a good idea of the logic i had constructe...

so, i've sorted through my notes from 2017 and pulled out the following: old laptop - nothing <---it was in the closet, at the time. ...

polluter pays. right?

if he can afford the drugs, he can afford to compensate the people around him for the externalities caused by them.

...and if i'm wrong? if the heat is too much, and the hot water is hurting him? simple answer: spend less money on drugs, then.

i mean, that's ultimately what he's broadcasting to me - that he has so much money, he can waste it on drugs, and i don't need t...

it's hard to focus in the filth, but i'm trying. and, if he wants to pay extra to heat the place, and extra on hot water for me to r...

that fucking loser upstairs has turned into a worthless, welfare case drug addict as a consequence of the pandemic - he's taking my disa...

fuck, let's start a new party made up solely  of people on disability, and overturn the entire legislature, then all get pensions out of...

i could always move home and fucking unseat the bitch, then take the pension. hrmmn.

so, i have to gamble here. if i take the money, i'll have to get off disability, and that will force me into the real world - which mean...

the thing is that doug ford (and, specifically, this psychopath representing barrhaven, which i grew up smoking drugs all over, named lisa m...

do you think the jews want another failed state on their border?

so, am i more aligned with trump than biden on syria? i need to be clear that neither option is very good. but, yeah - trump is looking more...

and, the fake left media will blame it on the jews. obviously.

following chomsky, i used to argue the opposite point, but the evidence in front of me has pulled the rug out from underneath me. we are the...

it is not surprising that biden is bombing syria, and i need to be clear that i supported and still support eliminating isis, but did not an...

i have about as much time for debunking christianity as i do for disproving the easter bunny. it's just too dumb to bother with.

i'm still cleaning... so, i haven't been doing much on here besides triggering playlists. i stopped to watch a bertrand russell vide...

i'm still cleaning and finding an unexpected source of filth - underneath various table tops. and, i'm wondering about that... there...

so, don't let them trick you into thinking this was about "german barbarism". no. nazism was strongly aligned with catholicism...

...and, as has been the case over and over again, the german cultural sphere, this time represented by british democracy, defeated it and wi...

the nazi state was in no way a historically german idea; it was, following napoleon, and perhaps preceding the european union, the most rece...

for all hitler's talk of aryan racial superiority, the man was culturally italian, through and through.

i've spoken a lot about this line between germans and romans in europe, but insofar as it relates to hitler, he was actually on the roma...

i initially ignored the kind of racist narrative in the documentary i just posted, because it's sort of a standard roman narrative to ca...

tactically speaking, there is much to be learned by indigenous peoples in studying the german defense of the rhine against imperial roman fo...

i've decided that i want to try to reconstruct some kind of concept of normality in here, even if it's going to be a while. so, i...

what about the alter-reality? well, i need to do something or other, yes. clearly... let me think about this.

no, this is is silly and arbitrary. let me just try and clean in here as much as i can and then actually get started on 2013 again once i...

yeah, so i was going to do some rebuilding over late 2016 but then i remembered that i'd have to load up my youtube site and my word doc...

marijuana makes people dumb . i need the ability for clear and focused thinking, or i'm not into it. i'll ramble online, instead.

drugs have the tendency to convert intelligent, creative artists into blithering, retarded idiots. i'm not doing that to myself - i'...

why don't i do it like this, though... i had a bunch of files put aside for rebuilding 2014-2017. if i post too fast, they'll shut m...

reznor + vrenna + thirlwell + balance. fuck.

there were two - and only two - tapes that i listened to in my walkman so much that i actually wore them out to the point that they started ...

but, you would have been more likely to catch me listening to ministry, dead kennedys or skinny puppy. and, if you know the politics these b...

i'm a transgendered woman, i'm not a drag queen.

i have never  said anything good about that guy, and have barely said anything about him at all. and, i don't think i've ever posted...

i have never listened to a marilyn manson record from start to finish and have been exceedingly critical of him as an unoriginal douche bag ...

i was hoping to get through the dental stuff quickly, and then wasted the week on it. not much happened regarding court stuff this week, but...

i just read up a little on how braces actually work and... ..ummm... what? i think i'll avoid dissolving my jawbone on purpose, at this ...

i say "crooked teeth", but it's more like crowding. at the top of my mouth, both of the molars on either side that are closest...

so, what's the conclusion i'm coming to with my teeth? 1) i have some crooked teeth and it's causing some gum recession. 2) a fe...
