Gillar att folk faktiskt blir förvånade när profitmotiv går ut över levande varelser. 'Industrin' är lite som prostitution för djur, bara att de generellt sett blir dör efter folk besudlat dem. (Nej, människor som prostitueras är inte djur, btw.)

Ska inte säga att det är oundvikligt, men om du tjänar pengar på att använda djur lutar oddsen förmodligen starkt åt misskötsel ju mer efterfrågan ökar. Ibland behöver den nog inte ens öka.

  Döda djur låg på hög utanför ladugården – kan vara lagbrott
  
  from SVT Nyheter
  
  Uppdrag granskning och SVT Gävleborg har kunnat visa bilder på extremt magra djur och avslöjat hur kor tvingas vada runt och ligga i sin egen avföring på en av Arlas mjölkgårdar i Hälsingland. Dessutom kan gårdens hantering av döda djur vara en allvarlig smittskyddsrisk – och ett lagbrott.

I rarely react spontaneously in some emotional outburst. (Not being "macho". I don't get very happy, scared, surprised or sad that fast. I'm slow.)

When I read this: https://social.umeahackerspace.se/url/717473 however I shouted "Nej!" (no).

Sean played in two of my favorite bands: Death and Cynic. I like all of Cynic's music but the EP 'Carbon-based Anatomy' is a record that has had a direct therapeutic role in my life. The album he played on in Death was "Human". Suffice to say: the existential connotations slowly nudged my view of the world.

This... I'm truly sad. The amount of time I've spent actively listening to albums that Sean was on must amount to months.

One of the few drummers whose parts I've picked apart and talked about at length. A lot of people have skill and popularity; fleeting qualities. Being interesting is harder to accomplish.

Sean was interesting; captured my imagination.

!listening Crowbar - Liquid Sky and Cold Black Earth

I like this song, and I definitely "like-like" Crowbar. However, in a line like: "Thank you for this new rebirth" the word 'new' seem awfully superfluous .

Seems to me to that a rebirth implies that something is new. I suppose you could be all "Buddhist" about it. But then again, repeatedly being reborn seem to imply that we're talking about something old. In which case the line still doesn't make sense.

I wish I could be reborn in a world where they replace 'new' with silence. Possibly 'cold'. 'Cold rebirth'. Nonsense, but it sounds kinda cool.

"Splittringen i politiken är större än någonsin, bla, bla bla..."

Öppna en historiebok. Politik är mer eller mindre per definition splittring och det borde vara det.

I'm sort of glad that I switched to 'borg' a while back. The various front-ends to duplicity, or "plain" duplicity, always felt utterly counter-intuitive. 'borg' == easy peasy.

It's not that I dislike doing backups or anything. I just never got around to do it a few years ago.

When accidentally managed to misplace a substantial part of my study notes and actually managed to retrieve them... I'm glad I'm not a dum-dum all the time.

Saved me hours, possibly days even, of re-reading the literature and re-writing the notes.

Alltså... Folk som bemödar sig med att skaffa hund, köpa och ge hunden mat, går ut med hunden och sedan inte plockar upp hundskit...

Förmodligen det steget som kräver minst ansträngning av de ovanstående.

Gotta love it when my landlord (houses owned by the municipality, i.e. it's tax-funded) creates some "anonymous" survey, sends it out to people and yet somehow intend to award one lucky person with a prize of "free rent for a month".

Either they intend to award the prize at random no matter who participated in the survey, or it's not anonymous at all.

Gets even worse when you think about how they intend to make policy out of it all. Yeah, the survey is not skewed at all. Might as well have had monkey ticking in the boxes with their feces.

"Prizes"... Idiots.

There are a lot things in this decrepit world that proves that civilization is depraved, corrupt and shallow.

The first place easily goes to the phenomenon that'll have people looking at videos of other looking at videos.

To make things worse the makers of the videos insist on having people pushing some button that that none of my devices possess.

Demanding the impossible. Screens everywhere. The compulsory usage of the word "Awesome" which of course refers to anything but that.

We clearly live in an Orwellian world.

The obsession with thumbs is I fail to put in context though. Might be a BDSM-thing.

Okay, scenario: you're a very blonde guy, went to an Ivy league school, found the period after graduation boring so you went out and backpacked/couch-surfed around the world. You're still doing it to this day. You like fine cheese/wine from Southern Europe where you also hang out in some very picturesque surroundings.

You manage to earn a living this way, and seem to find life pretty peachy.

This doesn't necessarily spell out privilege, but an assumption of it must be fairly accurate. A tiny fraction of people in the world are able lite that way, even with an education. But yeah, that's the way of the world. Capitalism.

However, when you end your little "online curriculum vitae" with an uplifting quote, which amounts to "live life, because you'll die and be happy and sprinkle rainbows on your pancakes" that _you yourself authored. _

That's some sick "Ayn-Rand-on-ecstasy"-shit. I feel confused. Don't know if it pisses me off more than it amuses me.

@tomas Depends on if the put more stock in the green part than the ethical part of their veganism. If it's the later they will probably eat the lice because it's a homegrown source of protein.

That's what I do anyway.

Det är mycket barn på gården där jag bor. Några kommer hem från skolan och jag hör dem prata:

"Oh! Kolla på den här bakgrunden!"
(Kortare ohörbart utbyte)
"Det står 'I Hate Mondays'!"

En kan ju spekulera i att de antagligen snackade om hur mycket skolan sög.

Som en människa som inte är sen att påpeka att barn är hela människor (d.v.s. att även barn kan vara hemska), måste jag ändå säga att jag älskar barn.

Deras anarkiska sociala spel är alltid uppfriskande.

I love Vio-lence. Their music is inexplicably intertwined with my life. The part they have played in it would take about half a lifetime to explain.

!listening Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ_vdS5jTW8

The vocalist, Sean Killian, was very, very sick for some years. Seeing him up on stage, well... Lets use his own words to describe the triumphant feeling I get, literally giving me goosebumps about 4 times over:

"I’ve drank the blood that dead souls have cried,
I cursed the devil then watched him die"

While wimps like Mötley Crüe were shouting at the devil, Killian cursed him and watched him die.

Happen to have an old Macbook (not mine originally) laying around. Looked up the specs to see if I could use anything in it for something else. Oh, man... Apple. Always with the proprietary parts.

I suppose that I could do more with it if I actually had a more experience with disassembling electronics, soldering, the proper equipment, etc, but I do not.

I'm not naive, they're know what they're doing, but c'mon. Proprietary flash memory. Stuff like that should work with other computers with similar properties.
