Would you imagine that when they abolished slavery, the poor slave owners were also prohibited from selling their slaves to other plantations! Also all the slave traffickers loosing their careers like that with no counselling. I think we should do better on human walfare, but that certainly was strange.

    I was planning a trip to Japan recently and remember seeing warnings of "be careful where you go in Okinawa, especially if you're an alone woman, because the American base is where all the rape happens". I see I was right not to go to that area.

    Lately I often reminesce on the time SSD has become available. My previous laptop would take 5 minutes to fully open the system, and suddenly BAM! SSD and it was 30 seconds. I remember being blown away. How the fuck did we end up back here. How is it 5+ minutes to start a stupid OS again.
