+	Get up doggy. Please!
+
+	Here's a thesis on which I never elaborated, that I wrote for this
+blah.

+        "Drugs are bad" is something I say to myself while I sip my morning
+coffee and puff my cigarette, reading the newspaper. Then I go to work and on my
+lunch break flag the dealer down on Main Street for crack and tell him my
+thoughts on the matter, and he laughs and asks how long I'm gonna be making the
+same joke, and oh probably another week or so. Drugs are bad in much the same
+way chemicals are bad, and crystals are bad, and molecules are blasphemous, and
+faith pays as long as you can still give to the church.

+
+        As part of my campaign for the worsening of the world (I'm not allowed
+to discuss my sponsors) my next trick will be to poke fun at websites. To me
+this "web" is a little service hosted on most websites at port 80 that will
+return reading material if I write a neat request in the format of the HyperText
+Transport Protocol (or HTTP). Fun! Usually, though, I get a program to automate
+this task for me. I like Firefox and Lynx, the latter more than the former
+though I use Fx the most. There have been a number of developments to the web I
+really don't like:
+        - Cascading StyleSheets (or CSS).
+I remember when I could go into my browser settings and change the text color,
+font, and size, and the background color. Now when using Fx I'm at the mercy
+of the site designer who usually doesn't share my sensibilities, much less
+sense.
+
+	Also not completed.
+
+	I wrote something else that I liked but I don't know where I put it.
+
+	Looking through computer backups makes me very lonely. I'm currently
+working on getting rid of most of my stuff - I really don't need much and it's
+weighing me down. But the reason I had so much damn stuff was because I was
+planning on spending my life with somebody. It's not so bad to be alone but I
+wish I had planned for it, or that my plans had worked out a little better. So
+it goes...
+
+	At any given moment there are hundreds of accomplishable plots to end
+the world. Most are horrifying, some are near-completion, some aren't planned
+except in the back of the minds of men, where conscious thought breaks down and
+only the God-daemons are left to staff the console. The following four things
+strike me as things that are actually worrying:
+-	TempleOS (reason: [...])
+-	blockchains (reason:
+                             From what little I know about the blockchain -
+                             which is really not a lot! - I wonder if it could
+                             become sentient. I wonder if it already is.
+                             Substitute "the blockchain" for your favorite.)
+
+	The sudden growth of memes should worry me but it doesn't because when
+I dove into them I found them to be a very effective weapon, and that counter-
+attacks aren't too difficult to launch when needed. The main problems to be
+solved are automation and timing.
+	I think the television show "Infowars" was actually just some
+convoluted but successful attempt to inoculate a critical mass of "true
+believers" (someone should come up with a term that isn't stupid) against
+certain ideas. By presenting itself in a way that is just outright silly and
+unbelievable except by the most gullible of its potential viewers, it
+discredits its ideas and those that repeat them. To say that there is veritable
+information warfare, in a way that is very new and very exciting strategically,
+would not be at all controversial unless this silly television show called
+"Infowars" with a kooky host and fake stories existed that discredits the idea.
+To say 5G will be very convenient for law enforcement to find and prosecute or
+persecute criminals or alleged criminals (politics may vary) would be to repeat
+common knowledge if the stuff of "Infowars"' ilk hadn't already presented 5G as
+some heinous conspiracy based not on the potential for geolocation based on
+access point connection triangulation (there's probably a better term for this
+but I don't draft and edit blahposts) but the idea that harmless radio waves
+are some evil wireless mind control plot or whatever.
+			On a side note, I was tipped off to the wack part of 5G
+		by someone in [...] back when I was loosely associated but
+		included in communications. I've seen their claim repeated but
+		don't have a citation. Empiracally (is that how you spell that?)
+		though, if you need more 5G towers because the signal isn't
+		very strong, an accessing device will have to be physically
+		closer to a given tower, and so finding it will be easier if
+		you know to what towers it's connected. Presumably cell
+		providers know this (I don't know a lot about the
+		nitty-gritties) and provide it to law enforcement - they do
+		know cell location in 4G and prior technologies. But don't
+		quote me - look stuff up and double check your damn sources!
+	Why would Alex Jones give up his life, basically, just to tell some
+lies on a television show? Probably, though, he's just rage-drunk and
+struggling through withdrawal from slamming his fist on expensive desks.
+
+	I'm mostly an ideas person. I wish I was more of an implementation
+person but I'm just not skilled enough yet. つづく
