Watching Rings of Power Burn

I’m doing a fair bit of stuff over here that should be on my other blog, but really, it probably belongs here because it’s addressing a lot of the idiotic social issues of the left.

CBR.com just put out an article on Amazon’s Rings of Power, where it virtue signals the whole way and shows that none of them have learned any lessons.

Why should anyone be surprised? Continue reading Watching Rings of Power Burn

More Stupidity, the Pet Edition

I just decided to throw this one out there because… why not? Over on Facebook, I’m in a bunch of local pet groups, mostly because I find my fair share of stray dogs and getting them reunited with their families is pretty high on my list of things to do. I’ve done it twice in the past two weeks already.

Yet that’s another place to find a lot of really, really stupid people. Let’s dive right in. Continue reading More Stupidity, the Pet Edition

Telling Dicks Not to be Dicks

While I’m at it, let’s do another one. Someone posted a “news story” about an old guy yelling at a 9-year old girl at a track meet, something like that, and he “misgendered” her. The thing is that, because she had short hair, he assumed that she was pretending to be a boy.

This goes off the rails almost immediately because of people’s inherent political and social biases. Let’s talk about it. Continue reading Telling Dicks Not to be Dicks

More Amazing Hypocrisy

So, as you may or may not be aware, Activation stepped in it when they decided to delete the skin of Nickmercs off of their store because he made a tweet that said “leave the children alone”.

All of a sudden, there’s open warfare against Activision, with people deleting Call of Duty and calling for boycotts, etc. Yet I had to go wading in to point out one not-at-all-surprising fact.

These people are hypocrites. Continue reading More Amazing Hypocrisy

The Epitome of the Dunning-Kruger Effect

I wish I could say this didn’t happen every day, but it does. I was in a “centrist” group on social media, mostly because I am sick and tired of both the left and the right, and we were talking about how both extremes on the political spectrum were following the same playbook, just for different audiences.

Someone popped up and said “you don’t know what you’re talking about!” Really? Then why are my posts getting absurdly up-voted and yours are getting endlessly down-voted? I think you’ve got that backwards. Continue reading The Epitome of the Dunning-Kruger Effect

Let’s Do It Again

Real quick this time because I think I’ve already made my point, but I just saw this and wanted to throw it out there. Here’s a clip that was made off of Atheist Experience and I think it has good points and bad points. So first, here’s the clip, located conveniently below the fold. It’s less than a minute. Take a look and I’ll see you when you’re done. Continue reading Let’s Do It Again

This is What Bugs Me

So I just got done watching a TimCast video, where formerly centrist Tim Pool has gone entirely right-wing lunatic. It was a video where they were talking about the recent Bud Light controversy, where Budweiser decided to cater to transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney and all kinds of shit hit the fan.

Fine, whatever. It was a poor choice on their part and their stock value crashed $5 billion dollars in a week. It’s not like I drink beer anyhow, I don’t care.

It’s just that they keep pushing this as a quasi-religious issue that drives me crazy. Continue reading This is What Bugs Me
