My Thoughts on Gay and Transgender Issues

I just finished up making a video where this came up, and therein, I said I wasn’t going to go into it because it was going too far afield. Therefore, I figured before that came out, sometime at the tail end of January, I figure, I’d post my thoughts here on the blog for all to see.

Let’s get to it. Continue reading My Thoughts on Gay and Transgender Issues

More Blindness in Media

I just keep running into these things and it’s bizarre how people can’t see that their own side is doing all of this too. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about the left, whining about the right or vice versa, both extremes are doing the same damn  thing and can’t see what they’re doing in the mirror.

I’ll keep this one short, it’s just another example, but let’s talk about it. Continue reading More Blindness in Media

The Problem With the Young

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

I Don’t Care if You’re Atypical!

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!

What the Hell Happened to Perspective?

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?

Life Isn’t Like Video Games

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
