This is Why I Shake My Head

Really short post since I just  got off the phone, but I was trying to make an appointment with an optometrist to get my eyes checked. My doctor makes me do it every year or so, but the optometrist that I usually use, the one that is usually at the medical group I go to, he retired so I had to find another one.

Geez, it’s hard to deal with the rampant stupidity out there. Continue reading This is Why I Shake My Head

Here We Go Again!

I know I’ve  done this a million times, but it keeps coming up so I’ll keep pointing it out. The political left is doing EXACTLY what the religious are doing, yet they are completely blind to their own failures.

How to Lose Respect: The Trans Edition

I had a distasteful encounter with a trans advocate/fanatic yesterday. They showed up in a science fiction forum and started demanding that trans people weren’t shown the respect that they “deserved” and somehow everyone “owed” them things and damn it, we’d better pony up, or else!

I think you can understand how that played out. They ended up running away screaming that we were all “-ists” before the moderators banned their account because that’s how so many of these encounters go. They don’t have to, and I figure you can guess what political ideology they were espousing, but I wanted to take a few minutes to explain how reasonable trans people can behave.
