The Independent Kixmiller Pigeon MrkII

I will just come out and say it....... I don't like Java. I guess Visual BASIC ruined whatever chances of me accepting Java. The fact is that I never found Java appealing. After being exposed to Visual BASIC first, I never had much love for Java. At my high school (early 2000's), there was only one programming class, and they taught Java. However, I got the impression that the high school defaulted to the Java programming language because they didn't want to purchase licenses for Visual Studio (granted, there is a significant price overhead). This was also the same impression when we used Textpad for editing Java programs instead of Sun's NetBeans/Forte IDE. Schools have to cut costs somewhere. I admit that I'm a sucker for IDE's. It goes all the way back to fiddling with BASIC programs in QB. I'm not all opposed to text editors for writing code at all. Notepad++ kicks a$$ when it comes to editing C++ code. I've compiled 86Box before from source, and I...

As with the last article where I covered Joe Rogan and conspiracy theories in general, the fact is that we're still living in a world shaped by Alex Jones and his absurd rhetoric. His claims are still reguretated on both talk radio and social media. Thus, when it comes to my general disdain of conspiracy theories, I can't help but talk about Alex Jones. For those who don't know, Alex Jones had a radio talk show since the late 90's. Everyday on his show, he would make 2-3 dire predictions a day. They would range from how Mexicans were going to cross the border to exterminate the white race, or how the FDA was funding research that would create a virus that would kill the white race, or how those I Washington were planning a false flag attack so that they could send the white race to concentration camps (and starts to see a common white race theme with Alex Jones). Anywho, when one makes 2-3 dire predictions a day, that equates to about anywhere between 300-500 "pred...

I'm not a fan of Joe Rogan. His show is a melting pot of crackpots and conspiracy theorist. He had literal Nazi's on his show as legitimate guest. There is no credibility. It's the perfect definition of trash radio. It's a platform for lies, conspiracy theories, and pseudo-science. During the COVID outbreak, his show became a platform for false information in regard to the COVID vaccine that was embraced by many of his listeners.  Thus, his platform became a hotbed of false information has led to the deaths of many people who refused to get vaccinated based on the lies that he perpetrated. While Dr. Fauci was busy saving lives, Rogan's show was busy destroying them. However, he wasn't the only one. Regardless of platform, anyone who shared false and misleading information is responsible for what happens afterwards, regardless of whether it's shared in. What's even more disgraceful is the fact that based on his actions, he doesn't display accountabil...
