Maybe Daily Episode 17: Git good or GTFO

Welcome to Maybe Daily episode 17. About a day after publishing the last episode, I had a few issues around new git repositories directly connected to some identity politics that snuck into software development all the way to the team that manages a software most developers use thus breaking tools that have existed for decades.

And yes I am wearing my 2018 Hacktoberfest bragging rights shirt here.

Maybe Daily Episode 14: Making women sports great again

Welcome back to Maybe Daily episode 14. In today’s episode, I will talk about that executive order the newest US president signed and why it can make women sports entertaining again by making them more manly. You can’t make this up and I hope we will see some interesting developments out of this story. If they keep coming I’ll keep recording. Even if they don’t I’ll find something else to ramble about until I can have guests again.

Maybe Daily Episode 13: Black lives matter

Welcome back to Maybe Daily episode 13. In today’s episode, we’re catching up. It’s been way too long since I published the last MD. Coming back on my recording schedule, it seems like episode 13 should have been about Kevin Hart. Looks like I wrote a draft and forgot about it. Him getting pulled off the Oscars, his new special, etc. However, this one may be more interesting for you to listen to as we tackle BLM. “Black lives matter”, a rallying cry to fight injustice especially against black people. Or so you’d think, however, black people seem to receive more abuse from BLM supporters than from the traditionally accepted racists with a different skin tone.

Interestingly enough, for the first time ever, I received what one would call racist abuse if it came from a white person. However, one would not call it racist because black people did it. I finally joined the BLM’ coons club alongside the likes of Kanye West, Candace Owens, Terry Crews and others. Not the worst club to be a part of when you consider the members. I will obviously wear this as a badge of honour until I die, or at least until I forget this ever happened, whichever comes first.

While it came from a place of hatred, these people inspired me not only to record a podcast months after the last one but also to a poem I recite at the end of the episode:

Black lives matter unless you think for yourself, no diversity of thought it’s sus
We have a dream where black, whites, latinos, chinese jump on our single think bus
We will chastise and shame if you don’t look nor think nor behave exactly like us
Making up a symbol to group a bunch of nothing, a gesture, any real help is surplus

People worried about matching their coats with a BLM sign to look good
Focusing their energy on getting attention rather than acting good
Something wicked this way came, shrieked and ruined everyone’s mood
Claiming to share a dream of equality while spitting where MLK stood

We don’t know one another, have no idea what each went through
Screaming, scratching away the hate seems so strong in you
Looking for answers, becoming a victim, these lies tricked you
This poison you drink, the poison you share, this will be the end of you

You missed the tolerance lesson we all got from Lilo & Stitch
Going around talking such a big game but no-show on the pitch
You turn out to be the racist you claim to hate and that’s rich
Look in the mirror, my hair and my thoughts are my own, bitch

Maybe Daily Episode 12: So-called Justice Warriors

Welcome back to Maybe Daily episode 12. In today’s episode, we’re catching up. It’s been 58 days since I published the last MD. Originally, I planned to title it something like “58 days later” or “58 days of craziness” or some like that. Then while recording I slipped saying “so-called justice warriors” instead of “social justice warriors” and stuck to it throughout. Really, that’s what they are. Not building anything up, ready to tear everything down and for what? Obviously, I’m a very diverse guy so there will be quite a few different topics from the latest French Classique to JK Rowling’s latest adventures.

Maybe Daily Episode 11: Unsurprising mask rant

Welcome back to Maybe Daily episode 11. Unscripted mask rant, I don’t know that I’ll want to talk about masks more after this one. If you wonder where I sit when it comes to masks around COVID-19, this is the definitive episode. From now on, every time someone asks me about masks I’ll just send them this episode link. I’m just tired of these fruitless debates with fruit loops junkies that believe they detain the truth. Be healthy, binge junk food, whatever rolls your boat is yours to do. Doesn’t mean I have to agree or disagree with either. Yes, this summary doesn’t give many clues about the thoughts I have around COVID but the episode does. So go and listen/watch it. Come on, I wouldn’t want you to just guess the episode from a description and spout nonsense linked to my name. If you intend to do that, the least you can do is boost my downloads/views so that you know what you’re talking about. That being said, enjoy the episode and I’ll talk to you next time.

Maybe Daily Episode 10: caNcEL CULtuRe dOEsn’t eXisT

Welcome back to Maybe Daily episode 10. Crazy to think it’s already been 10 episodes since lockdown started. Today I’ll talk more crazy that will be less crazy than the crazy out there. We might be at a turn in history, the one where maybe, just maybe, we push back cancel culture. More moderate voices are calling out they can’t be moderate anymore. It needs to stop. I am one of the moderates and I don’t like that I can’t hold neutral fact-based opinions. We can’t carry on like this. That’s what today’s episode is about. Mostly.

Maybe Daily Episode 9: Everything is racist

Welcome back to Maybe Daily episode 9. After episode 8 being the most viewed episode of any PDW podcast, even passing the 100 views (now at 144 while writing this), there is no pressure at all. Or maybe a bit. Which could be why it took so long for this one to come out. Today is about the world gone mad for a change and how everything is racist. Rice, pancake syrup etc. Winter is coming.
