Think I'll finally get a hair cut. Needed one first week of March before stuff started shutting down but never got to it. Getting tired of the longer hair and will be camping in a couple weeks and don't want to deal with it.

Yeah I'm finally getting this mop chopped off this weekend. It's gotten ridiculous
 
I have this little robot that trims my hair and beard plus gives a nice close shave. It’s called the My Skynet Hair Bot from Cyberdyne. Clerk asked if I wanted to pay for a warranty but I said screw it... what could possibly go wrong...

Hopefully you didn't buy the "My Skynet Anal Fisting Bot" by "mistake"....

After a month of hard work. Progress for my game project. The bottom level is 70% done from almost 0%. Next will be stairs to the Basement, & dining area. I posted regularly at the game developers thread, but I thought it will be good to post some milestone/progress once in a while here. I am going for a more overcast day interior look instead of the dark gloomy interior I have seen in most FPS adventure game.

Lapsed on my diet pretty hard during the lock down. Going to try intermittent fasting.

If you stick to intermittent fasting and try and combine low carb with it, the pounds will come off. Check out the subreddit r/intermittentfasting it's full of tips and progress pics that help motivate. I usually skip breakfast (just drink a lot of black coffee and water) and eat between 1 and 8, so it's like 17/7 split. Some days I fail, but not the end of the world.

I've combined running with mine as well, which has helped a lot too. Beer is still my weakness, though I've done a pretty good job of kicking that to weekends only.

A simple video I made for my twitter account & youtube channel.

I am the world's best concept artist, no doubt.


Damn it, my kitchen concept was accidentally deleted. oh well. Anyway, after I added Christmas theme assets. I made a video walkthrough. The game looks much better in motion.

I shaved my own head for the first time ever. Turned out pretty good.

I was thinking of buying a shaver when lockdown first happened but figured I'd just let it grow out. Went to a new place in a small town I work instead of my normal one and glad I did. Probably the best haircut I've gotten and supported small business instead of normal corporate one.

I grew my hair out until I couldn’t stand it anymore. I just do not look good with long hair. I wish I did.

Amerika 2020;
Government makes all people wear masks, distance themselves from their neighbors and loved ones.
Small (and big) Companies drops dead.
Killer bees.
Cop murders a detained jogger.
People suddenly are allowed to go out (and protest).
Riots.
Talks of pulling police funds and dismantling the police force.

All in the time frame of 6 months...

If I where even a little drawn to believing in conspiracy theories, I'd prob cave in now.

The conspiracy or agenda we've known for sometime is our politicians whore out our government in return for the campaign donations from financially powerful private interests. This might be part of why we periodically go into our bad Recession and especially why the quality of our leadership is in steep decline.

I also think Capitalism in America has turned into a system of exploitation. Now in an emergency, it has become predatory. Also, consider that in most cases, the American police get funding by ticketing people. Or suppose they bust someone on a drug charge, any drug money is taken under Civil Asset Forfeit and becomes property of that precinct. Behind all this, America has a disgusting "For Profit" Private Prison model. I also think a lot of this behavior by police is a legacy from the War on Drugs.

EDIT: Actually, sometimes I think enslavement of others is a desire financial systems have, but it takes the form of Financial Enslavement or Usery.

I feel there is a very dominant culture of excuse & blame. It's always society or someone else fault. Even being fat can be blamed on others. "junk food is cheaper, that's why poor people are fat!" "Then see fat people buying liters of soda & potato chip" I am sure tape water or mineral water is cheaper, & chips are not an essential food. but what do I know?

Not everyone has the same access, condition to success, obviously. But the issue is the mentality of being told due to not excess to favorable condition, hence you cannot be successful, instead of driving the mindset that any disadvantages can be mitigated with dedication & hard work.

I am unfit for society.

I waited for 10 days for Dish to send me a box to return their equipment that I paid 3x more than their original cost over the years. Last week they sent an email with info they would send another email with tracking info. That never happened. They and UPS claimed it was delivered yesterday at the same time i walked up my 1/4 mile driveway to get the mail. I got a call today from them in which they hung up on me upon answering. They won't answer my call back. I get on their chat thing to find out all of this shipping garbage. It was supposed to be delivered today in the first place.

I spent 10 hours of my day looking for the box they claimed they sent and left on the side of the road, building my own shipping box, packaging it, arguing with 3 different morons trying to get the info on where and how and what to ship. Nobody ever would be honest. Giving me fake addresses or telling me to call UPS to come get it without telling me WHERE TO SEND IT. Finally got a bold of someone who emailed me a return label for a package that is labeled as 1lB when it's 15 pounds. Now i have to make a 90 mile round trip to the nearest UPS store to fix this and pay $50 extra.

What they don't know is that I'm a redneck and have trail cameras everywhere, and no UPS driver ever came... I can't deal with the most basic things anymore without major issues as a result of the stupidity of others. I must live in the Twilight Zone.

To be fair, these sorts of things happens to me at least once a month, usually at times when I have 7,2 million other things to take care of.

I'm with you, don't let this keep you down, soar my amerikan falcon, soar!
