Thanks to some MAGA Goth twit DJ Retweeted one of my Tweets, apparently under the delusion you can be feminist and have Reich Wing politics, slowly my memory came back about yeah, there’s always been Right Wing Goths out there. But also that being honest with myself that the tolerance for Nazi fetishism in Nightlife was tolerated long beforehand. 
 
 There’s  also the matter of how not only was it okay to bash Muslims and Islam in the now defunct message boards, as apparently the humanity of these peoples and their religion should somehow be a matter of debate, but I still can’t think of anyone who was openly Muslim or even Arab in these Internet communities. Indeed, a popular Goth Rock track I can’t remember the name of bashed Muslims characterizing them as a threat to Europe, and at least one person who worked at the Mercury had similar views.

 I might write more in detail about this eventually even though my memory isn’t the best, but the Goth Community is in denial about its alleged tolerance for differences.

My favorite nearby brewery is opening back up on Tuesday, I need that place for a coffee filled distraction, and hopefully better WiFi. 

Something in me died today.

But at least that planet is in touch with its ruling Planet who is in good shape, Jupiter. I will be bringing the new laptop to a local independent computer repair shop for a new power chord soon. And discuss about how Windows 7 can be transferred to an external drive at a reasonable rate.

At least it's less worse than Windows 10? But there are programs out there that seem less and less compatible with the previous version, so I might as well install a copy of Lubuntu sooner than I expected to. That said due to one killer app-Exact Audio Copy-I might have to get that damn thing moved to an external hard drive. I will have to experiment with EAC under WINE for Linux before making a final decision, but I still need to prepare this thing for the Linuxing first!

ETA: The speakers aren't too good, I'll need to order new external ones. And how in hell is it even legal for a desktop OS to take up 50+ Gigabytes on your hard drive?

I usually enjoy that podcast, but I really did not need to hear the conversation part about sexual harassment in clubs devolve into complaints about “callout culture”, and bitching about how most of its all just a misunderstanding and lack of education, as though the management and staff aren’t ever on good terms with sex pests and regularly take their sides.

Short but cheap, I might look into it. Still no books about Frankish polytheism but at least there are bloggers out there. 

 So, like on one hand I’m excited by the possibility I can try this Open Source clone of BeOS on a laptop, but OTOH there’s something rather sad  bout these old BeOS true believer columns by Scot Hacker, now a Mac user IIRC.

 Nothing against enthusiasm for the product, but he hyped it to the point I think he should have been allowed to complain BeOS users thought their favorite OS would take over the world by the time it was clear the Be Inc ship was sinking. The GPL, Linux, and Open Source bashing hasn’t aged well either.

 While the company IS Ubuntu centric, at least they’re serious and even have instructions about how to install it yourself. Definitely good refurbished laptop potential, ThinkPad as a franchise stopped caring after they were bought by Lenevo.
