That’s Not How You Do Business!

One of the reviews said “this must be where all the terrible used car salesmen go to train.”

So last night, we went and bought my wife a new car. We’d been talking about it for a while. She loves her current car, but it’s getting older and we’ve had to sink some money into repairs lately and she just wanted something new.

Therefore, I started to do some research, I know her tastes and I know what kind of things she wants. High on her list of essentials is seat warmers, since it gets really cold here in the winter. So I made my list, she looked it over, picked out the ones that really interested her and we went out last night to look at cars.

Boy, was that a mistake! Continue reading That’s Not How You Do Business!

No Time for Bullshit

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve lost all respect for bullshit. I don’t put up with it anymore. I’ve got more important things to do. Nowhere is this more true than in discussions online, where people will just throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks and when it doesn’t, they just make excuses.

I’ve got no interest in your excuses. I care about your evidence. Put up or shut up. I’m not going to try to educate you. If you’re that dumb, go away. I have zero interest in engaging with idiots. Continue reading No Time for Bullshit

It Never Stops, Does It?

This is going to be short and sweet, but someone just posted over on Reddit, something about “these fruitcakes are scared about the election”, with some image of a post somewhere of some religious lunatics were screaming and posting Bible verses and all that. Yes, we know those people exist.

What I have to point out are the idiots on the left who are claiming that they’re going to have a civil war if Trump gets re-elected. You think those morons aren’t scared? What about all the idiots who say “I’m leaving the country!” Of course, they never do. We’d be better off if they would but they stick around because they know nowhere else is better. It’s just fear-mongering. Anyone who said they were going to leave the country in 2016 should have been thrown out already. At least Hollywood would be a lot better. And, of course, the ever-hysterical image of the screaming children that happened in 2016, are we supposed to think they’re not scared? Honestly, just watch these people sometime! Pay attention to what they say! The whole idea that they aren’t terrified that someone that doesn’t share their absurd values getting in is laughable.

I don’t know why these idiots can’t look in the mirror. They’re always guilty of doing the same thing. I can see it clearly, why can’t they?

What’s My Epistemology?

I had a discussion with someone on Reddit about epistemology and it didn’t go well. That got me to thinking about things and I was going to make a video, but then I caught a Rationality Rules video scroll by and even though I don’t subscribe to him anymore, I watched it anyhow, since it was fortuitously timed, and figured I’d do it here.

So here goes. Continue reading What’s My Epistemology?

I Don’t Care About the “WHY”!

I have had more than one conversation about this recently and this is kind of a “why I really dislike a lot of philosophers” thing. They are looking for things that just aren’t real. It comes off a lot like religion, which I think is a very similar mindset.

When you’re talking about the real world, I care only about the “HOW” of things. How did things happen? What processes came about to make the thing that happened possible? They only care about the “WHY?” The supposed larger “reason” behind it all.

What if there is no reason though? That’s where it all breaks down. Continue reading I Don’t Care About the “WHY”!

Tie to Clear Out the YouTube Crap

I’ve started to get rid of YouTube channels that can’t stick to a single topic. There are a number of atheist channels that have started producing a ton of political content.

I don’t want to watch it, therefore I am unsubscribing. I know why they’re doing it but I have zero interest in consuming it, therefore, they’re going into the dumpster.

Somehow, I don’t think I’m going to miss them. Continue reading Tie to Clear Out the YouTube Crap

How Stupid Is This State?

I’m not surprised, but after all the crap that I’ve had to go through to get this stupid truck registered this year, all of the garbage standing in my way that is 100% the fault of the State of California, this crap happens again.

It’s just a laughable demonstration of the sad state of the liberal governance of this crappy place. Real quick, here we go a gain. Continue reading How Stupid Is This State?

Dealing With Reality

I have no idea why people have such a hard time dealing with reality, but apparently, a lot of people do. Me, I just look at it and say “okay… that’s real” and move on. How could I do any different?

But lots of people have problems just dealing with the world that they live in and I find that incredibly sad. So here’s why it’s such a problem and why it really shouldn’t be. Continue reading Dealing With Reality
