AI and Jobless

Categories: politics
So, I saw this video and it got me thinking about this subject a little. Yeah, honestly it’s brutal. Not even considering the global financial state, America (or the West) is facing two great threats that will probably mean a decrease in living standards of many in this country. The first is China, America has little manufacturing. American companies just can’t compete with China in terms of cost and efficiency. In the beginning American companies greatly profited off the Chinese market because they were the ones who possessed the technology.

Emacs and Lisp

Tags: programming
I’ve long wanted to learn more about both. Actually, I’m already moderately familiar with emacs. I’ve actually typed all the blog entries here on emacs. I created and edited the website with emacs. But, I’m not really a programmer. I’ve learned a lot about linux from using it, but I really don’t know that much about programming. I want to learn more about it and create little projects. I’ve always loved working with computers, so I think I’ll be good at it.

The Limits of Power: The End to American Exceptionalism - Andrew Bacevich: Book Review

Categories: Books
The book The Limits of Power: The End to American Exceptionalism was penned by a man named Andrew Bacevich. Mr. Bacevich graduated from West Point in 1969 and went on to serve numerous years in the army. He fought in the Vietnam war, was deployed to posts in Germany, as well as serving in the Persian Gulf. Mr. Bacevich has a PhD in American diplomatic History and has taught at numerous universities.

Civil War and Reconstruction

Categories: History
The American Civil War was a conflict between the Northern and the Southern United States. The states broke off individually at first, but quickly came together to form the Confederate States of America. The reasons for exactly why it occurred are debated, course the textbook gives a very one-dimensional answer—slavery. I think why the narrative shifted like that is two-fold, one it serves as a cudgel for the South and whites in general that they should constantly apologize and feed bad for slavery, the second is economic because unified country is better business.

Trump Country Rap

Lol. This is great. I’ll laugh so hard if Trump is elected again. With Gaza, prices of things in general, Biden’s mental condition, decline of fake news media, decline of idiotic celebrities, considering he’s the incumbent, and the poll numbers, it looks like the odds of Trump being reelected is increasing. I think at this point the leftist thugs of thrown everything they can at him short of arresting and assassinating him.

Kiniro Mosaic and Bocchi

Categories: anime
Tags: japan
Bocchi: This is a great anime. Animation is nice. Girls are cute. Songs are catchy. No leftist bullshit. Story is engaging enough. Only complaint is that giving bocchi just a jersey to wear throughout most of it is such a shame. Can’t believe her name is Hitori too. Kiniro Mosaic: It’s fun enough, but I don’t think it’s nearly as well written or engaging as others that came before it. Think you can safely skip.

Halo CE Review

Categories: video games
I don’t understand this game. I didn’t think it was very good. The story was kinda interesting but barely. Then there were a number of times I couldn’t even hear the audio because the game threw enemies at me while the character was talking. The two weapon limit was annoying. In the beginning when you don’t get much ammo for the humans’ weapons and you got to pick up from the aliens is so annoying, one because those guns just aren’t very fun to use and two the ammo capacity is stupidly low, so you’re constantly having to scavenge.

Grant Theft Auto 5 Review

Categories: video Games
Tags: america
A couple weeks ago now I finished GTA 5. It was my first time ever playing a Grand Theft Auto game. And honestly, I can’t really say I had any serious complaints about the game. The story was good, clever, and entertaining. The missions kept me engaged. The world was huge and had many things to do inside of it. I think it’s a 10/10. I don’t think anything I really have to say about the game would detract a whole point from it.

Pelosi Nonsense

Categories: Politics
Tags: America
Wow. She managed to say something so stupid that even Democrats aren’t buying it. And that requires a lot! https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1783186070558933411 It’s also amusing in a way how people like her will refuse to say Donald Trump’s name, but they’re always talking about him. Doubly ironic that their slogan with the summer of love was “say his name.“What brave leadership we have in Speaker Pelosi. Think she’s from California too.

Url Migration

Okay, I’ve managed to move over the two urls that I wanted to. I got a bit lazy about it, finally got around to doing it right now. I think it’s the right decision. If you’re reading this, then you probably already know, but I changed the blog to blog.phoebus.club, main site is phoebus.club. I moved over my nextcloud server too to make room for this. Handy that you can just add a word in front of it and suddenly you have unlimited free domains.
