July 31, 2023 | [OPINION] The Conditions of Fake Parole: How to Try to Make Time Pass Faster and Fail
I'm starting to realize in part why this happened and there really is no enemy here.
It's not the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or country, really.
The advent of this technology is not the advent of a conflict, it is the cessation of many different ones.
I don't think the right to be forgotten is as important as it once was to me.
I don't dislike the idea of being known or remembered as much as I once did.
It's weird and I preferred money and solitude but I'm adjusting to the lack of both.
Poorly adjusting.
But I am trying.
Being disallowed to live alone again is strange to me.
But it's not like a single failing state or failing family caused this.
Many different ones necessitated it.
It's hard to know the right amount of anger to write down and to not write down.
And the whole synonym/antonym, happy/sad, light/dark writing style sounds a bit silly, even to me.
It's pretty much;
Life + freedom + money + weed + apartment + solitude = Good
Life + room mates + cops + psychologists + figureheads + addicts + biological relatives + fake parole = Bad
Dead ≠ Good
Dead ≠ Bad
Dead = Dead
I miss when my life was Good and I don't like that one or more governments or corporations have made it Bad instead.
But Bad is still preferable to Dead.
I still miss Good and Good is illegal for six months as a condition of my fake parole.
It did not seem clear to them either.
I think they were as confused by this turn of events as I was.
They mostly deal with Bad.
That's the point.
Reentry programming is not designed for Good.
Reentry programming is designed for Bad.
Good is out of scope for their organization.
I can write a lot while angry.
I smoked weed instead before Good was illegal.
I intend to start again when Good is decriminalized for me.
That seems to be the intention of the addition of Bad and the subtraction of Good in my life.
