Real happiness, in politics, is a wide-open hammer shot on some poor bastard who knows he's been trapped, but can't flee.

Stop the Decade, I Want to Get Off
1999-07-16 11:35:42
Man, I just don't know what to say. The megalomaniacs of the Dumb-Down Bundt have declared this "The Slashdot Decade." Christ!
Talk about your delusions of grandeur. Can you believe it? "The Slashdot Decade!" Dream on, kiddos.
Just imagine TEN MORE YEARS of UNENDING BLATHER from the dolts and bugheads that make up the commercially-owned community known as "/.". Gar! The world's largest SUB-MORON BRAIN FARM, blumbering along for another decade. LEADING another decade. Saints preserve us!
What's with this, anyways? Talk about a severely overhyped site. Who on this PLANET came up with the idea that Slashdot.org is some kind of HOLY PEYOTE vision from THE INTERNET COYOTE GOD? Anyone in the world who thinks that Slashdot is some kind of META-FANTASTICAL INFORMATION ENEMA PLATFORM for the FUTURE probably haven't spent a lot of time there.
I mean, FUCK, what *IS* the Slashdot paradigm, anyways? 10% one-sentence pointers to off-site content, 10% crybaby and suspiciously ad-like essays by Jon Katz, and the other 80% the drooling gabber of thousands of Internet newbies re-hashing the same arguments that have been raging on Usenet since 1985. Yippity FUCK, let's have a SLASHDOT PARADE.
My temples are throbbing just from thinking about this idea. If this is the Slashdot Decade, I'm just gonna SKIP it. Wake me up in 2011, please.

Canadians Not So Different After All
Nobody wants to be prejudiced. But sometimes you can be biased and not even realize it. I think many Americans are biased in this way against Canadians. I never really stopped to think about it, but I myself used to be this way. I guess I thought that Canadians were "stuck-up" — you know, smarter and better cultured than us. But then I got educated about Canadia. (More...)
