#AreYouDoingYourPart ?

Posted on by good_Times

At what point are you going to intervene?

Poor old man.

Honest mistake. Can happen to anyone. I definitely can think of at least one moment where I fumbled around foolishly in public in a similar fashion.

My problem is not the square with the adorable kitty clearly replacing an old man, but the square on the top left.

That’s a foking court hearing.

“Up to a $500 fine or 180  days in jail”. So this should be serious business that clearly at one point or another, wasn’t handled as such. That filter didn’t go on by itself.

But lets escalate this a little more. What happens when these people are the ones in charge of for reals for reals serious business?

You may not remember this, but I will never forget when I first heard senator Ted Stevens trying to explain the internet and lying about how Netflix was going to clog the tubes and slow down emails by allowing you to download movies.

I remember laughing at the memes and all the remixes of this boomer deceiving other boomers so they could stop the little guys from picking themselves by the bootstraps and keeping their boomer friends rich.

I also remember clearly deciding that I had to become part of the battle for #NetNeutrality that very instant.

It lit a fire under my ass.

The more I thought about the implications, the more scared I got about the future. However, I relaxed once I realized the “enemy” had unlimited resources but was lacking the one needed to win a battle of wits.

So the fight continues.

Now that absolute piece of shit lizard person Ajit Pai is no longer chairman of the FCC, I want to remind you once again, that the fight for the future is not over.

You gave this cringe nugget free reign over our communications for four years knowing he was a Verizon lawyer before that.

What the fok where you thinking?

This shit doesn’t happen again.

You have to promise me you are going to start to pay attention.

Because that video right there.

The one that made you throw up in your mouth a little.

That is technically your fault.

Wonder why they turned off the comments?

The Colombian Cowboy

I’m sure someone has done this…

But if they haven’t, then it now exists and like its creator, it is a deliciously Americanized Colombian snack.

– Mix Arepa dough with water/salt and mix till play-doh consistency to make patties.
– On a cast iron skillet, pan fry Arepas in medium heat, set aside.
– Cook beef patties (I air fried).
– Lay down lettuce and Mozarella on top of Arepa.
– Add beef patty and top with pink sauce
– Cover with Arepa

 

En honor a mi padre.

Mi viejo

Es un buén tipo, mi viejo
Que anda solo y esperando
Tiene la tristeza larga
De tanto venir andando

Yo lo miro desde lejos
Pero somos tan distintos
Es que creció con el siglo
Con tranvía y vino tinto…

Viejo, mi querido viejo

Ahora ya camina lerdo
Como perdonando el viento
Yo soy tu sangre, mi viejo
Soy tu silencio y tu tiempo

El tiene los ojos buenos
Y una figura pesada
La edad se le vino encima
Sin carnaval ni comparsa

Yo tengo los años nuevos
Y el hombre los años viejos
El dolor lo lleva adentro
Y tiene historias sin tiempo

Viejo, mi querido viejo

Ahora ya camina lerdo
Como perdonando el viento
Yo soy tu sangre, mi viejo
Soy tu silencio y tu tiempo
Yo soy tu sangre, mi viejo
Yo soy tu silencio y tu tiempo
Yo soy tu sangre, mi viejo…

my old man

He’s a good guy, my old man
That walks alone and waiting
He has a long sadness
From all the walking he has done

I look at him from a distance
But we are so different
It is because he grew with the century
With trolleys and red wine

Old man my dear old man

Now he walks slowly
Like he’s forgiving the wind
I am your blood old man
I’m your silence and your time

He has kind eyes
And a heavy figure
Age spilled all over him
Without pomp or circumstance

My years are still young
And the man has older ones
Pain he carries it within
And has timeless stories

Old man my dear old man

Now he walks slowly

Like he’s forgiving the wind
I am your blood old man
I am your silence and your time
I am your blood old man
I am your silence and your time 
I am your blood old man…

Disposable everything, right?

Good article right here

They don’t make them like they used to…

Technically, you ain’t wrong neither.

It’s true, they don’t make things like they used to, and there’s a reason for it too.

It’s technically our fault.

We became children of instant gratification and combined with our lack of “free” time, we allowed the corporations to dictate the terms of engagement.

They don’t have to make anything with quality anymore. We pre-buy games and sign away the rights to the stuff we buy through “agreements”.

What foking incentive are we giving companies to put out a good product when we are literally trampling over the corpses of human beings to upgrade a TV on black Friday?

It is not going to fill in that existential void, Karen.

Imagine what is doing to us at a psychological level? Is there a chance that maybe that disposable culture has bled into our social behaviors and that’s why relationships and connections have also become easier to throw away than to maintain and repair?

I’m just saying.

What can be done?

Embrace what we have always been. Hackers.

Seriously, it isn’t all about code either. Taking stuff apart and tinkering with it so it does something else or works to our liking is fundamental to being alive. Am I over reaching if I say hacking is the result of consciousness adapting to the environment faster than the cadavatar it is trapped in? It’s like, “Hey man, I’ve mastered the use of this meat-bot, now I will begin to dominate my surroundings”… We see an ape creating tools in their environment and we call it a sign of intelligence, but then judge a person for trying to do the same in theirs?

Double foking standard.

#HackNotCrime

I should be able to fix the stuff I own. It’s mine, and I should have all the rights to it.

Why the hell should I be charged for an owners manual? I’m already the foking owner.

Let tinkerers tinker. If the Wright brothers had stuck to bicycles we wouldn’t have Space X right now. Let the environment heal by not creating more waste. Let jobs develop in a fixing economy that can help us save desperately needed resources.

All that by supporting local #RightToRepair groups and letting your state reps know about it. Yes, that’s right, as you sit in the toilet reading this, you can click the links provided and help the cause for #RightToRepair. In the comfort of your throne, you are saving farmers in rural areas from corporations like John Deere that have exclusive rights to repair their equipment and charge as they see fit.

It is that easy.

Thank you…

“A rebellion is built on hope”

I’m glad I got to participate in this phenomenon.

As of this moment. Without taking any risk, I still hold BB and AMC. This is a gamble. If they go bullish, I’ll try and profit.

I however, also hold 1.32666 shares of GME I managed to snag on Stash. I wanted to buy just the one, and got lucky over the weekend during a dip so I took that extra .32666 as funky synchronicity.

I’m going to get a paper copy of that and frame it. I will hold that little bastard until death. Come and take it from my cold dead diamond hands. If I happen to find someone foolish enough to want to have a child with me, I will pass it on with the condition that it can’t ever be sold. A sort of Non Fungible Token to remember what happened here. What you absolute monsters built and deployed and achieved.

Apes together, strong.

Below, a little homage I threw together, inspired by what you beautiful bastards catalized here.

You proved that when given the time (thanks Covid-19?) and a neutral channel of communication (thanks #NetNeutrality), humanity works to improve themselves and the environment around them. The amount of stories of people using their gains to help others is so emotionally uplifting and needed at a time like this.

That scares the shit out of the status quo.

You showed the world that a revolution where not a single gun has to be handled is again possible. A revolution where the masses educate themselves and work together to disrupt the system using its very rules. A revolution where democracy is weaponized to expose weaknesses and abuse in the systems that are currently in place. A revolution where I guarantee not too many of you where worried about the race or religion of fellow apes because it doesn’t matter when you realize what the real enemy is.

Not your neighbor, but the normalization and adoration of greed.

It’s an interesting feeling when you realize how much wealth there is to redistribute if the playing field is even.

All credit to Brian Kesinger and r/walstreetbets for corresponding art. Sorry about hacking it together, enjoy.

You didn’t see this coming?

The real winner, no matter what happens, will be the meme economy.

Which is further evidence of the power of creativity to disseminate information.

And that humor exists so that we can better deal with the harshness of reality.

Day 6

The line held before the weekend

The hedge fund Melvin Capital has closed their GameStop Position. The losses reported in the billions. Everyone and their grandmother is ananlyzing this thing from every angle. I’m sure you can find better information than anything I can provide here, written by brighter and better minds than mine.

What you probably won’t find out ther is what I’m about to provide you. The link between what is happening at the stock market and Aliens.

Remember a very long time ago in 2019, when Matty Roberts made a meme about storming Area 51. The event went viral and a few days after it had over 4 million people had pledged to “attend”? Fast forward a little and there was two festivals and at least one arrest.

I actually kept that can to commemorate the shenanigans, and also to remind me of what I had just witnessed. What we had all witnessed. 

The speed at which the massess can organize and mobilize thanks to a neutral internet.

I remember seeing early stages of this happening in 4chan. At small scale you had board to board raids. A group would go into another board and fill it with specific topics or images. These things where spontanous, organic. There was no logic, rhyme or reason. Follow that same pattern and you would find, at a larger scale, full on operations. Sometimes pure fokery, like trying to convince the media that celebrity xyz had died. Sometimes it was for the good of humanity, like identifying animal abusers.

Things just happened.

So fast forward to 2019, Rachel NV, hours before the scheduled raid time. There are news crews reporting live, there are competing festivals and the base is on alert. This has become real enough that I had friends in the military call me to ask me not to rush the base. Love you guys for caring. I’m also concerned about how crazy you think I actually am. But I digress, the point is the entire world got a really goood look at what those “raids” online translate to in real life.

Governments and data companies are very well aware of what you can do wiht data to manipulate masses. That’s what they do on a daily basis with all the targeted advertisement they spend billions on. Foking billions.

Then one guy, with one keyboard changed that for the enitre world. 

Because ALIENS.

One of my favorite sayings is “Many a true word is spoken in jest”.

What do you think was the truth spoken to power in the jest of the #StormArea51 event?

Could it be something along the lines of:

“Hey, we are the two younger generations, and we are hyperinformed, hyperconnected and hypernetworked beyond anything you can understand or control. We are starting to notice a lot of stuff is wrong with the systems. This is usual between generations, but thanks to the internet, a technology that you can’t keep up with, we have began to correct those mistakes and you may not like it. This is however, inevitable. As proof, we will show you how your secret base is a joke to us and we have flexed on it with enough speed and numbers that you have flinched. Now we are going to throw a party”

In many ways, was that not the moment in the movie where the nerds expose the bully’s weakness? Doesn’t that lead to the collapse of the bully’s house of cards?

Fast forward to what’s happening right now. Is this not the logical evolution of protesting the system? Drum circles and molotovs be damned when an army of individuals are redistributing wealth from their toilets and sofas in a week. 

This is what happens when we have the ability to communicate and disseminate information, we can move mountains and fight dragons and I hope everyone hears about  what happened here, and before this battle is over, “that even a god-king can bleed.”

Where we go from here is a choice I leave to you.

“I know you’re out there. I can feel you now. I know that you’re afraid… afraid of us. You’re afraid of change. I don’t know the future. I didn’t come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell how it’s going to begin. I’m going to hang up this phone, and then show these people what you don’t want them to see. I’m going to show them a world without you. A world without rules or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.”

– Neo

 

Day Five.

With noticeable casualties on their side, the Hedge Funders have begun to do anything and everything to stop the hemorraging. Working under all this pressure means mistakes. Mistakes that are immediately seized and turned into optic ammunition. 

 

Can you foking imagine selling your soul for $40? I mean, don’t get me wrong, times are tough, I’ll take the foking credit, just don’t think I’m sacrificing my values because of it. Fok, even lizard person Ted Cruz actually agreed with my homegirl AOC on criticizing the move by Robinhood.

Of course, AOC reminded him he was a seditious piece of crap that got people killed with imflamatory rethoric in a full assed attempted coupe. Ted Cruz has American blood on his hands. But I digress.

In my searches I found this channel being recommended. I wanted to make a note of it here. So far it seems solid.

I understand now. Why they scream at the exchanges…

Once you little foks understand the double-spend concept, I’ll tell you about what I did with Bitcoin…

 


Day Four.

I’m in it for the fight.

And they have made it a fight.

Trading apps have began to slow down or outright remove GME trading options. I’m looking your way “Robin Hood“. You can go fok your market manipulating self.

I know I talk a lot about the growing speed of data and how that is affecting society, but I seriously can’t emphasize how quickly this has become the topic of the day.

And that’s just one website.

So we see these financial institutions beginning to take measures to try and not get screwed in the game they made up. If you are running into problems, please be smart and document what happens. The lawsuits have already began.

 

 

Also, helping the cause is the fact we are also seeing some heavy names in investing starting to take a stand. I gotta say, I like what I’m hearing so far.

Even the cryptosphere is paying attention, because in many ways, the explosiveness of the stock forced some hands, and that has begun to really expose market manipulation. Guess how much that does to legitimize crypto currency and decentralization?

Yeah, that’s right. I found a quote from P. P. Dik because reality is a simulation and it’s starting to run out of rendering power. Rick Sanchez was right, and it is your choice if you want to be Jerry.

Enjoy your human music.

It is almost as if raising an entire generation of humanity on stories of rebellion instead of actual freedom  may have backfired on the “powers that be”.

Day three.

I have to participate.

How can I not.

This is fully mainstream now.

When I speak of the emergence of a “System of Truth”, I kind of have a hard time explaining the concept. I’ll keep trying, but for now, I think this gentleman has done a great job of giving us an example of the way it manifests.

Also, he brought up something called “Idea Dinners” and I will definitely be adding that to my “repertoire” 

There’s already a little pushback happening from the financial sector, but the progressives seem to be jumping in to flex their muscle and I’m not mad at that.

So I decided to get in on the action. I have a couple hundred I saved by not buying Jimmy John’s anymore (We had a run, but that business will never get another rupee from me). I did want to get myself a lightsaber replica, but instead, I think I’ll use that money to gamble on this for a bit.

And in many ways, stocks are like gambling. So with that said, I have already pointed out that I am very uneducated when it comes to stonks, I want to make that clear. Consider this the “for the record” disclaimer. I am in no way offering any type of professional insight. What I can do, is provide advice as a friend. NEVER put money into cryptocurrency or stocks that you wouldn’t give away to a stranger in the street. Also if you do decide to throw your money way, just send me the Bitcoin instead…

ps: Florida. I love you, but please get your shit together
