Consequences…

Oh guns, how you make me laugh

According to CNN and others, gun sales has risen by a significant amount since Obama was elected. Asshats apparently believe that the new government is going to take away all their rights and throw people into prison camps. Oh well, I’m not going to ramble on about gun laws, but tell me this. When exactly do you need a weapon like the one pictured above? I’m asking because this model (The AR-15) is sold out in many places now. I mean seriously, it’s not very practical for self defense, a small hand gun would be better no? I’m thinking a rifle would be more appropriate for hunting, so I can’t really see where this type of gun would come in handy.
As a gun hating liberal fag lover I’m not that knowledgeable about guns, so if anyone can tell me why in the world you would need this monstrosity, please do.

Finally…

a president you don’t cringe when you think of. Congrats America.

(On a sadder note it seems Prop. 8 in California is going to pass. Hang in there my pole smoking friends, That too will change one day. In the meanwhile why not go to Michigan where medical marijuana just got legal and pretend to have glaucoma)

Rest in peace little friend

I might seem like a bitter hard ass sometimes, but really I’m just a big softie. I ran over a fox yesterday (By accident thank you!). I guess a lot of people would just go “oh well” and drive on. Well, I didn’t.

Me and the wife were on our way home, and suddenly from nowhere this little fox ran out in front of our car. Had he run a few meters further ahead, I would have been able to stop the car, unfortunately now I wasn’t. We slammed into it and the poor thing got dragged along under the car until the rear wheel ran over him. I looked back and saw something tiny run/drag itself away.

In Sweden you call 112 (Our 911) if you run over a deer, moose, wolf or some other big animal. A fox is too small so they wont send out someone to check it out. So I stood there thinking about what I should do. Yes a fox is too small to call 112 about, but I couldn’t leave it there in case it was still alive. I still have a heart dammit.

I called the emergency number and said something like: “Uhm…well…I don’t know if I should really call you guys, but I ran over a fox and I think it’s still alive”.
Amazingly the woman answering totally got where I was coming from and connected me to a local police station. I told them what happened and as I suspected, the answer was: “Well, a fox really is too small of an animal for us to send out someone”. I said that yes I understood but that I couldn’t just leave it there suffering if it was still alive. Once again I was surprised when I got the answer: “Yeah, I can see that. Actually we have a patrol in the area, I’ll send them to you”.

So the police got there, saw the blood trails on the road and said “Oh, well this one wont be living for long” and followed the tracks that led to a house. The fox had crawled under the house and died there.
At least it didn’t suffer for long. One of the officers patted me on the back and said “Well, at least he’s with God now. You’re a Christian right?”. I answered that technically I suppose I am, and he responed “Yeah me too. When having a beer with the guys I’m an atheist, but that’s between you and me”.

Now I know I’m being silly. It’s just a fox. It’s not like I ran over a baby. Still, I felt pretty bad about it which I guess makes me not a psychopath.

I’m sorry little fella, I didn’t mean to run you over. You really should have looked both left and right before crossing the road though.

Bring it!

Unmask packages in Gentoo

Let’s take a little break in the political ranting and go geeky. I’m using Gentoo Linux (Gentoo GNU/Linux for you FSF nutbags) and I tend to run some software marked unstable. To do this you have to unmask the packages you want to install. For some reason I could not get the autounmask package to work properly (It kept unmasking one package over and over again) and I got sick of manually entering each needed package into the unmask file.
Having too much time on my hands, I wrote a bash script that unmasks a package and all its dependencies. You call the script as:

./unmasker.sh =app-category/app-version

For example, to unmask kde 4.1.2 you run:

./unmasker.sh =kde-base/kdebase-meta-4.1.2

I’ve successully unmasked portage 2.2_rc12, Gnome 2.24.0 and KDE 4.1.2 with this script.

This script will not handle blocked packages or EAPI incompabilities. For examle with KDE 4.1.2 I had to unmask and install portage 2.2_rc12 first due to the ebuild requirering a portage with EAPI-2 support, and I also manually had to uninstall qt-4.3 since it was blocking qt-4.4.

Anyhew, give it a go if you want to try it out, and you’re welcome to give me suggestions on how to improve it.

You’re a homophobe you pussy

It amazes me that so many people are against gay marriage. Really it does. I dare anyone to come up with ONE good reason why gays should not be allowed to marry. Just one. The truth is there isn’t one.

The only reason people are against gay marriage is that they are a bunch of homophobes but of course they don’t have the balls to stand up and say it. “The bible says it’s a sacred bond between a man and a woman”. Yeah well the bible also says slavery or stoning your children for being disobidient is ok, so go out and buy a black guy to mow your lawn or smash your kids face in with a rock when he/she eats candy before dinner then. Fucker.

I heard Palin is one of those jackasses that believes homosexuality is a choice. So…when did she choose to be straight? I really can’t remember signing a piece of paper asking me if I wanted to be gay or straight. Does that make me bisexual or asexual? I should mail her and ask.

What are people afraid of? Is their marriage going to be worth less because two adult people that happen to be gay get married? Would you love your wife/husband any less if gay marriage was legal everywhere? Of course not.
I love my wife more than anything, and that it not going to fucking change just because George Takei marries his boyfriend. Who the fuck are you to say who can and can’t get married? I especially love the irony that people that are against gay marriage (Or gay rights in general) are usually conservatives. You know, the ones supposedly for personal freedom and small government. Now they want the government to butt in and limit peoples freedoms. Of course, to them gay people might not be people in the strictest meaning of the word.

If people had the balls to say: “I don’t like gay people, I don’t want them to have the same rights as me” I could respect that opinion. A fucked up opinion granted, and one I would not agree with, but still a real opinion.

No, when you think about it there is no good reason to be against it (Plenty of retarded reasons though). People just use religion as some kind of cover for their hatred of gays. With religion they don’t have to have an opinion of their own, the bible is on their side after all.

This is just another way religion is fucking things up for people. We should just abolish the concept of marriage and just call everything civil unions. Period. Churches should not have the right to marry people anymore. Sure, they should be able to have their ceremony if they like to, but it should not be legally binding what so ever. Just sign a paper and BAM, you’re married. Gay or not.

What…the hell?

I dunno. Is it just me, is isn’t decapitated baby dolls a little creepy? A wee bit.

Absolute nonsense: Part 1

Ok, listen up people. There is exactly ONE way to loose weight. Eating right and exercise. Swallowing a fucking pill every day is not going to do shit.

I watched a documentary a while back about dieting, and these two women after reading a bunch on nonsense had ordered some pills containing extract of some moss from Iceland that would make them loose weight.

Let me repeat that: Pills made from Icelandic moss would make them loose weight. Fuck me.

I don’t expect people to be rocket scientists or nuclear physicists. I expect them to not be fucking idiots. When will people get into their thick skulls that there are NO FUCKING SHORT CUTS when it comes to loosing weight. Sad perhaps, but true. It takes a lot of work and discipline. (Oh, and if you’re unable to loose any weight because you can’t take it, stop telling people you have a thyroid problem. No you don’t. Some people have an easier time than others, deal with it.)

People spend a lot of money on this bullshit, but you know what? I don’t feel bad for them. Not at all. If you’re stupid enough to fall for something like that, you deserve it. Common sense people, common sense!
Just stop for a second and think before you act. Use some logic. “Does it seem logical that eating these hyper expensive chinese roots dipped in seaweed marmalade will make me thin?” No? Ok, then maybe, just maybe it might be bullshit and you should stay away from it. If you think it doesn’t make sense but still go for it, well then I revoke your right to reproduce.

I can see the moon from my room, so I’m qualified to be an astronaut…

Last presidential debate in an hour. I expect bloodshed.
