“The world is not full of Attractive People and Unattractive People. It’s full of people who are attractive to some and not to others. I hear from trolls all the time who complain that they don’t want to be “forced” to find nasty, ugly fat women attractive–which utterly baffles me, since the last thing I want to do is encourage fat-hating dicks to date fat women. You don’t find fat people attractive? Fabulous. Don’t date them. I will find a way to pick myself up and move on without your love. But to assume your lack of sexual interest in fat chicks must be universal–or that the mere existence of self-confident fat people having healthy relationships somehow “forces” you to find fat attractive–is the height of fucking narcissism.”

We simply won’t allow Usenet to be shut down. If necessary, we’ll tunnel it, encrypt it, whatever it takes to sustain no matter what any mere court says. Usenet is far more important than the entire content industry combined, and is certainly run by far more intelligent and clever people. We will always win in the end.

Climate Adaptation: More enviro-cuts to come guys. I'm telling you, there is a slaughter coming: The Most Anti-Environment House in History:... →

From Climate Progress (see also my warning to enviro’s about upcoming slaughter to environmental regulations):
There are some very nasty pieces of legislation floating around the House that could strip away some of the nation’s most important energy and environmental programs. We’re not looking at some modest cuts here and there – Congress is considering spending bills that could completely decimate government’s ability to regulate clean air and water, while turning clean energy programs into an afterthought.
Since the 112th Congress began, there have been 110 anti-environment votes taken by the House – with 20 related to climate change, 28 on air and water pollution, and 22 on clean energy.
So how has your representative been voting on environmental issues? Below is a list of the votes on key legislation. It’s a daunting list, but it does show how important (or unimportant) energy and environment are to the House:
Shit like this just makes me mad. The entire Gulf oil disaster was a direct result of weak government environment regulatory oversight.
Most people are assholes. Life is not fair. Then you die.

So... when did my blog turn into 90% gay porn? Hmmm.... not sure I'm happy about this.
I'm so sick of people.
