Journey to Smallville 2
Let Sam and Pap be your guides:
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Here’s my theory , in line with this, and I’m sticking with it. Google the pics of guys with their collections of tricked out assault rifles, see the demographic that buys ’em. Mostly they’re fattish dabbling in obesity and the onset of adult diabetes in later life. And early in the cycle they, quite naturally, begin to repulse their wives so sex ceases. Now this general state of affairs is never acknowledged publicly — no one sez “My wife stopped craving to get it on because, well, just look at me, I’m not the handsome buck I was at 25.” So, the sexual urge can be sublimated to the fetishization and purchase of assault guns, a symbol of substitute puissance for what has been lost. It stinks getting old, tough work to handle gracefully, especially in WhiteManistan.

I think there’s more to it, such as a tendency to sadism, the onset of ED, and arrested development, depending on the individual, but, yeah.
