Random Thoughts

Damn laptop screen keeps turning off randomly.

I hope it's the Nvidia drivers this time. Last time it was hardware error and I had to go get the damn thing replaced.

Looks like it was a hardware glitch with ALL Lenovo Legion laptops, I got myself an Acer Predator Triton 300 instead, and returned the other one back to the store. Expensive too, 20,000,- DKK in total.

I was able to only smoke 3 cigs yesterday, but today I'm like "fuck it" and I'll smoke whenever I feel like it.

If life is worth living, then why am I not afraid of death?

[no one]

Epicurus:
Death is nothing to us. When we exist, death is not; and when death exists, we are not. All sensation and consciousness ends with death and therefore in death there is neither pleasure nor pain. The fear of death arises from the belief that in death, there is awareness.

This reminds me of a Seneca quote. Same thing is being said, basically:

No one is so ignorant as not to know that we must at some time die; nevertheless, when one draws near death, one turns to flight, trembles, and laments. Would you not think him an utter fool who wept because he was not alive a thousand years ago? And is he not just as much of a fool who weeps because he will not be alive a thousand years from now? It is all the same; you will not be, and you were not. Neither of these periods of time belongs to you. You have been cast upon this point of time; if you would make it longer, how much longer shall you make it? Why weep? Why pray? You are taking pains to no purpose.

In a dictatorship & in a theocracy, the power is no longer with the people, but in the hands of one megalomaniac.

North Korea
Iran
Mount Athos (Athonite State)
China
Vatican City
Cuba
Eritrea
Laos
Saudi Arabia
Vietnam
Russia (in all but name)

All famous for Human Rights abuses.

I think North Korea is a full-on theocracy.

[ignoramus]

^ In that case the Nth Koreans are miles ahead of the middle Eastern theocracies.

Because their "god" is real. If you're not sure how he feels, just ask him
I know Kim Jung is an amoral monster. But our man Yahweh and his backward brother Allah were even bigger cunts!

So who's worse off?

I added 2 short stories (in Faroese) to my Google homepage.

No one visits the homepage, and I do not expect you to either. I just want to put it out there for people to find and read. Maybe I'll translate the 2 short stories to English, but who knows?
