"when I fall in love"
it will be, forever.
Or I'll never fall
in love....
... And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you"
As if a person could be so choosy about who they fall in love with.
I know about the falling in love part.
It's the part about "feeling that way too"
Trains of thought don't wait, they leave the station when they feel like it, and I don't know where this was going.
Except, that song is running through my head, and in my racy game, Player and his friend will have sex very soon.
Is she in love with him?
Is He with her?
The bottom line of most of these games is the same, and I'm learning that the window dressing is copied over too.
I've got a damn keyboard coming from (originally) Hong Kong with a layover in Florida.
Florida?!
It was supposed to be here hours ago but air-traffic-controllers, the weather, customs/tariffs, contraband checking, (*sigh*) it might not get here till Saturday.

| Today??!! Nononononono. A nice person, in Florida, rates. You don't count. |
I was *this* close to cancelling it. Even the amazon website says it will arrive Sunday 16.
Very odd.
And how rude for pulling the rug out of my date...but.... is this week some holiday that ends around the 20th??
I'm pleased to report that amazon typed in an update that looks more recent than Friday morning.
It rose from the swamps and is heading northwesterly, albeit slowly.
It rose from the swamps and is heading northwesterly, albeit slowly.
(Well even a damn car only takes three or four days to traverse the US)
Unless they maybe stick it in some warehouse for the holidays, it SHOULD be here tomorrow or the day after.

| "Three days," says most of the amazon warehouses on this map. |
A computer dutifully records and reports on every time you check and when, and occasionally they notice and do some snarky thing (route it to Florida, etc,) if you check too many times for their tastes.
Kind of like some back-seat driver saying "Are we there yet? Did you take the Triborough bridge?"
"gggrrr, put it in the garage (warehouse) and let it sit"
And another thing...
A piece of hardware coming from the FAR East didn't have to originate in Florida, unless the package is from a small business with dust-bunnies on the stock which Amazon promised to sell.
 |
| It's a little vague, but couldn't my Floridian keyboard be from Best Buy? |
I totally lost the trains of thought.
People can be nice, smile, be all friendly, occasionally have sex,
They're just not in love.
Too bad for you, have a nice day.
I don't have the skills to re-retouch this retouched representation of depression (despondence?)
"influencer" is a vaunted word, and if you parrot the exactly correct talking points, and join the right forums, and say just the right things,
You too could be put on watchlists.
In fact, I just read about an influencer-wannabe.
She might be one someday, but apparently is not one yet.
She might be one someday, but apparently is not one yet.
Later on (very soon) it won't be "What do women want" but "What does AI want?" Probably true but out of context without a lengthy explanation:
AI news will judge who is hot and who is not, who is an Iconic rebel and who is a criminal waiting to be locked up.

| AI in action (I think) |
But this is a train of thought, not some sales seminar. Here:

Who died and made THIS guy the expert on employment trends??

Unfortunately they're trying to paywall/assimilate me, so I have not really read it yet.
Capitalism is dead, Oligarchy FTW, something, I'll guess.
An opinion article makes the front page, and me trying to quote it gets a large banner saying
Not quite... it's more of a recruitment blurb about how great his company is, and why you should work there, as a high-school grad (because once you hit college, you cost too much)
And if he's real lucky you're an ace programmer (hacker) or you're super good with chemicals....
I added that last part, don't sue.
But it's true (isn't it?)
*I* think.....Sons and daughters of politicians and moguls will always be welcome at Ivy-League schools, regardless of what this guy thinks.
They don't need the money, but the company needs them.
I had half a mind to write another blog entry about "The new normal" but
it's way too vague in my head, and the New York Times did it better.
If you're reading this, right this second, this last part will look very disjointed as I gather information on the premise that fringes of society are now the center, and what was centrist before is disparaged as radical.
"The Party" was my initial train, shepherds trying to corral the internet memes into some uniting force against whatever they happen to believe has messed up their world.

An opinion article makes the front page, and me trying to quote it gets a large banner saying
I don't like memes, and organizers in forums trying to get you to buy or to vote a certain way, as if they just got out of bed and thought up something.
It's a campaign, that serves their political machine.
What?
O, that was it, nothing too specific.
Join a forum, read the comments of any newspaper, and you get hints about what I mean.
That, and maybe a vague question about people travelling the world to make speeches and shake hands,
when all they really need to do is Skype, conference-call each other.

Write something on "X" and it becomes a world-shaking event.
It's no wonder they diss a college education, they'd much rather hire young influencers and people drawing ugly frogs and clever memes.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c629pny4gl7o If a high school kid was there, (apparently) he'd know what to do.
AI will further marketing, propaganda, empower politicians, it's no wonder that it's the greatest thing since sliced bread lately.
(If I get enough of these random thoughts together, I could have a decent blog entry, lol)
Inanimate meme heads have names, I suppose, but I don't know them.
Super-meme, Righteous-bro meme,
vs
your dad meme
alt-right guy vs dissolute sinning leftist revolutionary antifa communist alien...
Oh. "Compare and Contrast" AKA does this look biased to you?
Is my bias showing?
Does this make my bias look fat?
People on the intolerant side call up their meme-friend to prove a point.
Does he have a name?
"Yes." (maybe)
I would think that a good elementary school openly discusses "Mind manipulation" although they probably use more uplifting patriotic terms designed to inspire and not be clinical.
If all teachers had to do was repeat information, we have computers and recordings to do that.
I started to bombast about real life situations and stopped myself, not being a patented expert.
Parrots could teach better.
Huey Newton, Malcom X, Guy Fawkes, Sirhan Sirhan, these are historical names but I wonder how many students, through personal preference of the school or the teacher, know who they are.
Sethi: Let the name of Moses be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of Egypt. Let the name of Moses be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.
That (ahem) That was from an ancient movie, but the same idea exists now.

Drifting back into orbit, um, cigarette smoking is vilified by consulting firms and marketing firms, it's what they get paid to do.
Miserable people in the freezing cold, slowly dying.
But if you switch to cigars, suddenly it's manly and pleasurable.
Why?
I have a theory that those expensive marketing firms concentrate on cigarettes and leave cigars alone, that would be another contract and more money.
I also had a few rants about vaping, how suddenly, without many studies, vaping is bad (m'kay?) and the people vaping are evil and killing your dog who lives across the street (*Koff!! Koff!*)
Anyway.....Google's front page news right this exact second (because the political headlines change often) has a picture of protesters with signs.
I wonder how much of the headlines are designed to distract from real news, but that is a way different blog.

Dangling yarn before hungry cats...
Still, I liked the picture.
"Yes"-Chad dons his hat to watch a "rally" two or three people they scraped together for a photo.
Apparently we're at war with Venezuela, but that was not one of the headlines.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oyucH0TIfJs (TLDR: really huge oil reserves are there)
weighty shit comes from tiny posts with off-the-cuff remarks.
Suddenly we're all Harry Reasoner pontificating...
but if I were a meme-generator, I might flippantly say
Venezuela!
and add Castro's speech in "scarface"
but I'm not, so I won't.
Nevermind.
Good night and good news.
