Man, I’m really tired. I think a part of it is the lingering notion that it might be time for me to step out of my comfort zone and start exploring programming in a serious way, either by learning javascript or python, and maybe trying to do something career-wise with it. I dunno. I’ve heard, and seen, that javascript is a complete fucking mess. Python is pretty awesome, but I’ve just never spent any significant amount of time messing with it.
God Is Dead
It’s true, God is dead. He was absolutely fucking slaughtered by rational inquiry. That’s okay. I bet it happens to nearly every species that attains sentience. Surely we can’t be alone in experiencing this, the universe is far too large for that to be the case.
I suppose the most important take-away here is that God never existed in the first place, at least not as an omnipotent sky-wizard. He existed as a literary figure that helped us to explain why we’re here and the world around us. There really is no purpose to him anymore, so it’s time we retired this “God” person, as the people who still cling to his existence are destroying society and- honestly -they’re destroying the planet as well. So that’s that, we can wrap it up now. God is dead, and he ain’t coming back. No “return of Jesus”. Do not pass “go”. Do not collect $200. God is dead.
Justices Found Lying Under Oath Should Be Removed
AOC says Supreme Court justices who lied under oath must face consequences for ‘impeachable offense’
I heavily fucking agree with that article. I think the justices that stated under oath they accepted Roe v. Wade as “established precedent” should be removed, not impeached. Fucking removed. Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Thomas, Barrett, and Alito, should be fucking removed. This redneck trash with assault rifles have been allowing these MAGA clowns to remove rights by limiting what is allowed in any given abortion, even though it was a constitutionally protected right. Well, you know what we should do? We should ban devices that use cartridges and gunpowder completely, let the fucking gun nuts own only compressed gas and spring loaded pellet guns. Fuck these fucking redneck pieces of shit, they can have all the right to “bear arms” so long as the projectile involved won’t break skin. Fucking asshole trash bags.
Pinning Posts in Hugo
Alright, in this post I’m going to show you how to pin posts in Hugo. But before you keep reading, I request you review the template you’re using and ensure it’s going to allow you to pin posts in the first place.
The thing you’re looking for is the index
declaration in your index.html
.
Example:
{{- define "content" -}}
<section id="posts" class="posts">
{{/* (index .Site.Paginate) */}}
{{- $paginator := .Paginate (where (where .Site.RegularPages "Type" "post") ".Params.hiddenfromhomepage" "!=" true) }}
{{- range $paginator.Pages -}}
{{ .Render "summary" }}
{{ end -}}
</section>
For instance, in the above snipped, line number four is where you can find the $paginator
that will tell you whether you’ll be able to pin posts. If you see mine, you’re good. Most are probably going to do this. If you see anything with “sortby” then you’re probably fucked, because your template is probably forcing your shit to sort by date, rather than just paginate as Hugo does by default.
It’s my Blog and I’ll Do What I Want To
Seems like it happens every time. It happened the last time I set up Wordpress. The ease of posting to my blog seems to generate an inverse relationship with my post frequency. I’ll post a ton at first, and then my posts taper down to nothing, sometimes going whole months without even so much as a dead man’s switch. It’s alright, though. Honestly, the times through the day that I feel most compelled to write are when I’m bored. That usually is at work, but it hasn’t been lately, to be honest. Lately I’ve been finding things to do that are work related if I’m bored, which I guess is a good thing. I dunno. We’ll see how long it lasts, though.
Raspberry Pi Watchdog Timer
Earlier today I experienced an amount of panic that I think most nerds can relate to. I tried to sync my git project and I got “no route to host” in response. GASP. There are so many things that can go wrong, especially when you’re forcing all the heavy lifting on a tiny little raspberry pi. The thing has been a brute every since I got it, though, chugging away with nary a care. It truly has been a workhorse for the specs and size.
War on Religion
I had planned to write a different post, but honestly- This is what I really wanted to do with a post. I’m going to expose religious zealots for what they are. Rapists.
Bishop Accountability
ProPublica: Credibly Accused
Sexual Harassment Went Unchecked at Christianity Today
Houston Chronicle: Abuse of Faith
If you’re against abortion I want you to ask yourself, “am I so against abortion that I’m okay with my child being forced to birth a rape baby by her rapist?” If the answer is “yes”, you’re trash, and I hope you never make peace with or reconcile that.
Andrew Lee (rasengan) Fucking Sucks - Freenode is Dead
The Justin Bieber-wannabe weakly rapping in the above video is none other than Andrew Lee. He’s your usual privileged piece of shit who runs around spreading whatever money he has to shit on things other people love just to destroy them.
