Codename: Jackass

Injuries sustained during NYE: My boss told me to scrub the bathroom walls with bleach at my job. So I used a bunch of this bleach spray we use for the bathrooms and sanitizing the kitchen. I got some of it IN MY EYE RIP empty he died as he lived

No, I do not curse people for things beyond my control.

I'LL SHOW YOU A SHEEP

Most of my fears are predicated on a status quo that continues into the future. I think, if we do one day transcend the fetterings of our modern existence and everyone works for the common good of everyone else, technology will probably be used more responsibly. But I think we have to have a tipping point in the wrong direction first. An "apocalypse" of sorts. It has to get worse before it gets better.

I'M CERTAIN THAT IT IS VERY WARM IN UPSIDE DOWN LAND

THEY DO NOT IT IS UNCIRCUMCISED

DUDE WEED LMAO

I TIED A SOCK AROUND MY WIENER JUST IN CASE SOMEONE DROVE BY

Christmas 2016 had a high temperature of 78 degrees. It was kinda nice but also a reminder that our planet is dying.

I'm unstuck in time. I experience everything that has happened and will happen simultaneously.

I've seen a few opinions online and in the real world that embrace the ever accelerating pace of technological advancement. I'm sure that's not really the norm yet, but the younger generations will probably increasingly see it as a good thing until things really go tits-up. I just imagine more of a Borg scenario than "FUCK YEAH I'VE GOT BOOSTER ROCKETS THAT POP OUT OF MY BACK" scenario. But I do want some fuckin' booster rockets. I was promised flying cars and I'm still waiting.

I'll strip naked and run outside to remind myself that it's better in here than it is out there.

You're West TX, I'm East TX. Normal hi/lo is like low 50s/upper 30s for early January. I figure it might get a little colder at night out there.

I live in Texas, sir. It only gets this cold once every five years or so.

I live in Texas, sir. It gets this cold once every five years or so.

It's 15 out right now. Probably colder where you are but still, I ain't used to this shit.

I need some gloves.

I only have two. TWO.

Take mad bong rips?

There was more wonder and amazement in a single day during the Summer of George than a decade of JeNewBee Years. Search your heart. You know it's true.

I NEED TO FIX THIS DRAFT IN MY WINDOW BUT DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

One more thing I'd like to add to my earlier point about technological advancement leaving us in the dust. The point of automation fundamentally changing our society is getting a lot more attention. We still don't know what the effects will be. I don't think it will be some utopia where everyone can do what they want. There will be a lot of unskilled workers who won't be able to find work and won't have the money or tools to get an education to do something that can't be automated. What are those people going to do? Universal basic income is a novel idea, but how many people will actually be willing to have money taken out of their paycheck to support people who can't find work, or, in some cases, won't find work? I envision a scenario twenty or thirty years down the road where masses of unemployable people are dying on the streets, or rioting for their old jobs back. The likes of which we haven't seen since the Great Depression. But all for the rich to get richer. Fuck the poor, they can sort it out on their own!

There's something very freeing and powerful about being able to command your vehicle to take you wherever you want. Actually controlling it, steering it, hitting the gas and feeling the acceleration, the feedback that you personally created. I think there will always be "manually driven vehicles", for lack of a better phrase. But for the common person, they will become outmoded and impossible to use at some point in time.

The Summer of George >>>> The Year of JeNewBee

OOH I KNOW YOU'RE NOT REPLYING TO ME BUT I HAVE TO GIVE MY TWO CENTS Great technology that can and probably will be misused at some point. Proprietary vehicles that can literally drive themselves to the shop without your approval for routine maintenance and automatically charge to your credit or debit account. Likely will be exploited at some point by hackers for any number or crimes, from simple theft to murder or assassination. Corporations and governments can track your every move made in that car (not that they can't do it already with your smartphone but it's another mode of surveillance). But that's the tradeoff for safer roads and more efficient travel.
