I think this will be generally quick, but it illustrates exactly the point that I’ve made so many times before. There was a discussion, where someone wanted to know who has had direct, first-person experience with some of the far-left talking points in the real world. I figure the whole point was to show how it was all just hearsay and not experience, but it devolved very quickly, especially once I jumped in.
So this is off the top of my head, although I’ve been thinking about it a fair bit, but I just had a discussion with someone over the era of modern streaming and the writer’s strike and lots of stuff like that. How did we get here? Where are things going?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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→
So let’s talk about the Disney live-action Little Mermaid movie. I don’t care about it, not remotely, even though the animated movie was one of my favorite Disney movies of all time.
This isn’t a new story, in fact, it’s just an ongoing tale of how screwed up our society is these days, but they’ve just turned one of the robot characters in the new Transformers show non-binary.
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→
