The New World Order

March 9, 2017February 24, 2019 ~ iCentrist ~ Leave a comment

I've been wondering lately about something. Do we still need nations? We're so divided as a species that we're all constantly warring with one another over "sovereignty" and "statehood" yet we refuse to be concerned with the issues of others who are not ourselves. This leads to the very real threat of global violence on … Continue reading The New World Order

The Trump Presidency: How Did We Get HERE?

February 25, 2017February 24, 2019 ~ iCentrist ~ Leave a comment

I have heard a variety of reasons of how we ended up with the current president. Reasons running the gamut from racism to xenophobia. From sexism to destroying Washington. And from what I can tell it’s all of the above. And none of said reasons. You see, for whatever the reason was, it was determined that the only way to solve it was to pull the pin on a giant orange grenade, lob it at Washington, and see what the end result would be.

Open Enrollment Needs To End

December 28, 2016February 24, 2019 ~ iCentrist ~ Leave a comment

So I've been trying for the last two and a half months to get ahold of somebody through my company's insurance provider. Nobody would answer the phone (their directory menu was utter crap allowing no way to talk to an actual person), I couldn't enroll online through the system because it didn't "recognize my information", … Continue reading Open Enrollment Needs To End

Why Are Women In Games Still Marginalized?

November 26, 2013February 24, 2019 ~ iCentrist ~ Leave a comment

So I was watching the AngryJoeShow on Twitch.TV and seeing what the new Dead Rising 3 game was like. As always, it seems like just another slasher game with generic interactions and a somewhat clever interface with the creation of new weaponry able to slaughter hordes of zombies with little to no effort.
