22 November 2024 ================= Just a moment after i argued with someone in usenet that nobody would be so stupid to use ICBMs with an conventional warhead in a conflict i read that the russian military did exactly that... what.the.fuck... And looking into reddit (using Gopherreddit for sanity reasons) you see tons of edgy teenagers (or people stuck in the mindset of those) writing about how empty a threat this is, how much small-dick- energy (sic!) this transports and that we should now nuke moskow... has the whole fucking world lost its fucking mind? Well... seems like i should climb to the attic and see if my old black biker gear still fits, its better to be prepared if we are heading into mad max territory. Well, to write something about a more pleasant topic: I am finally spending the evenings (after wife and son went to bed) more with real books instead of watching some nonsense on Youtube, interestingly, this lead to having a much better sleep and awaking way more rested. Does this have a causal connection or is it just a coincidence? Whatever, it works. Another positive thing i am observing is that the usenet is seemingly more active than a few years ago, it looks also like more younger people are discovering it. Perhaps the stronger regulation of other social media plays a role here... lets hope, that this doesn't bring too much attention of "Big Brother" to this forgotten place of the net.
