We’ve been having a long, long discussion in a thread titled “Does today’s generation “see/understand” TV and movies differently?” and it’s not going well for the young. It started off simply enough, as I’ll explain below the fold and then it devolved into dumb kids without the basic understanding of reality that anyone pretending to be an adult ought to have.
Why am I not surprised? Continue reading The Problem With the Young
There’s a story going around out there, something about a school where one kid identified as non-binary and requested that everyone use “they/them” pronouns and when some kids refused to comply, people started talking about filing charges.
Yeah, fuck you. Let’s talk about it. Continue reading That’s Not How Free Speech Works
I just got finished having a discussion from someone who, in their own words, is “neuro-atypical”. He was complaining that it’s really hard to live in a world where he can’t do what he wants to do because he’s incapable.
I certainly can sympathize with that, there are plenty of things that I’d love to do that I can’t. Unfortunately, sometimes that’s life and you need to have realistic expectations and, sadly, this guy simply didn’t. Continue reading I Don’t Care if You’re Atypical!
This has come up several times in recent weeks for obvious reasons and I’ve been hesitant to talk about it over on YouTube. In fact, I specifically asked Patreon backers if I should talk about politics and social issues on the channel and almost universally, I was told no.
Therefore, I’m going to do it here. See you below the fold. Continue reading Let’s Talk Abortion
So there was another call on the Atheist Experience that, once again, shows just how bizarre the conversation is becoming these days.
Honestly, why are they pushing a political agenda on the show? Because, I suspect, Matt needs to in order to keep his girlfriend happy. There’s a political agenda written all over it and that’s just dumb. Continue reading Hypocrisy Once Again
I watched a couple of videos lately on old TV shows and cartoons from the 30s and 40s mostly, and how some episodes are not readily available today because they offend people’s fee-fees. I find that absurd and pathetic, but I find most people these days, especially young people, to be absurd and pathetic.
Whatever happened to perspective? Whatever happened to not wearing your feelings on your sleeves and just accepting things as they are? Continue reading What the Hell Happened to Perspective?
I saw a video recently on Cities: Skylines and yes, I do play that game from time to time. It’s a city simulator, like Sim City, only better IMO, but I see a ton of players who desperately want it to be different. They don’t want it to simulate reality, they want it to simulate the liberal wonderland in their heads.
But it doesn’t actually work that way. So let’s talk about it. Continue reading Life Isn’t Like Video Games
Sorry John but you absolutely got your ass handed to you.
So Godless Engineer put up part of a discussion, the video will be linked below, where he and a Christian were supposed to be debating the question of “all lives matter”. And sorry, in this particular exchange, GE completely lost.
So let’s explore it. Continue reading All Lives Matter
Let’s piss some more people off. That tends to happen a lot whenever I open my mouth on certain subjects so let’s do some more of that.
This is a multi-faceted post that’s going to wander and it comes from a number of different sources, mostly YouTube videos that I’ve seen in recent days. I’ll link to all of those below so you can go and see what I’m talking about.
But culture. What is it and why do people like Jordan Peterson get it so wrong? Other than the fact that he’s an idiot? Let’s explore the idea. Continue reading Culture and Morals Aren’t Forever
This is one of those things that I just don’t understand. Every year, I get a calendar, for the sole reason of marking what videos I’ve uploaded to YouTube and what days they premiere. That’s all I use it for. So why are there so many problems trying to do that?
I don’t get it. Continue reading A Stupid Question for Calendar Makers
