I wasn’t going to respond to this at all and I think that by the end of this, you’ll understand why. Recently, Ayaan Hirsi Ali came out and claimed that she was a Christian, not for any good reason, not that I think she believes any of it, but by playing the part, she thinks she can achieve some political goals.
That, my friends, is just idiotic. Continue reading Why I Don’t Care About Ayaan Hirsi Ali
I ran across this today, where someone had posted the above question and I had an immediate reaction to it. Not that queer women (or anyone else) shouldn’t read science fiction, but what the hell difference does it make?
This goes places that no good discussion ought to go. Let’s talk about it. Continue reading Fiction Recommendations for Gay Women
I caught a video today by Chris Stuckmann on the future of film, at least his take. Now while I disagree with… most of it, but I figure I ought to talk about it because I think it is important, especially to show that people like Chris, who are entirely fanatical about movies, don’t really represent the actual issues facing modern day cinema.
So, there will be a link to the video below the fold if you want to watch it, but let’s get at it. Continue reading The Future of Film
So I got called in for jury duty. Actually, that happened back in August, but I was going to be away during the time I was supposed to go in so I put it off until early November. I called last night, to see if I had to appear and I had to, so early this morning, I drove off to the Superior Court for what was ultimately a giant waste of my time.
Here’s why. Continue reading Jury Duty is a Waste
Just another quick one, as I ran across it, but there are some people, quite a few in my opinion, who just have no business being in charge of anything. Ever. This is especially true of online public forums. We’ll get into the details below the fold, but if you can’t keep your personal opinions out of your moderation, sod off. Continue reading Some People Shouldn’t Be In Charge
This is just a really quick one, I saw this video of Arnold Schwarzenegger being interviewed on Howard Stern and, as many problems as I’ve had with Arnie over the years, he at least knows what the hell he’s talking about here.
Enjoy.
I ran into a thread on Reddit today, where they were talking about atheists who are conservative, because they couldn’t imagine how anyone who was intelligent, educated and non-religious could identify that way.
Well, once upon a time, I identified that way, at least in a limited fashion, so I read through it and found that it was mostly people who were talking out of their own asses.
Somehow, that is not at all surprising. Continue reading Why It’s Pointless to Argue Politics
This is more of a rant, so if you don’t like that kind of thing, feel free to click away now. I won’t be mad.
However, I’ve been seeing a ton of this lately and I am ever so sick of it. I mean YouTube channels who exist only to explain why they hate absolutely everything that they do, yet they keep on doing it. It’s rage-bait for the sake of rage-bait.
Holy crap, assholes, you can just stop! Continue reading Stupid YouTube Channels
I’ve noticed this a lot lately, and I’m sure it’s been going on for a while, but people will get online, say “I just bought this thing for this amount of money, how did I do?”
Isn’t that a question you should have asked before you spent the money? I mean, are you really that dumb?
Sadly, the answer is almost always yes. Continue reading When Did People Get This Stupid?
Alright, I’m officially tired of this. Companies today are just idiotic. I have a couple of prescriptions with a local pharmacist and I have been getting endlessly harassed because they want to make more money.
