It's an appropriate use of the worst time signatures, for once. But it might be responsible for things that are going wrong, maybe.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Time for another life evaluation, yayyyy... Seems like only do this after the exams and not before them, and will forget about them soon.

No no, I really, seriously need to spend less time fooling the fuck around and I need to focus.

Now, the good thing is... This Computer Vision paper is only 25% of a module, so I have a fighting chance with the finals, as well as with the project and homework. I still have another quiz next week, so I have more than enough time to not fuck that one up.

Enough is enough, seriously. I am honestly mad with myself for all the shenanigans and all this time lazing around. I'm gonna give myself strict free times, and as Fate as my witness, I will damn well pass this term without another hiccup like this.

This... To me, is a wake-up call. Good thing too, because any later and I will be utterly screwed. At the very least, I'm glad I got this wake-up call today, not any time later.

Okay, so I was just doing some random reading on the Internet and found out that Silly String was used by the military to detect tripwire traps. What the hell...

No, Trump vs. Boris Johnson. Not only would it be highly entertaining to watch them try to bumble and stumble out of hazmat suits, it would take up the best part of an afternoon's or evening's television.

And since they're cancelling the filming of most dramas at the moment, there's not much on.

I'd chip-in for that.
