This is really something that should wind up on my other blog, but I’m putting it here because it’s about generalized stupidity on the Internet.
What else is new?
So, in a discussion about movie box offices, someone came by and said “Doctor Strange 2 made tons of money!” I responded and said that while it did make a profit, it was one of the very few in Marvel’s phase 4 that did, it still underperformed in the box office.
That, of course, pissed him off. Continue reading You Can’t Win Against Idiots
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”.
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.
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.
So, I just got permanently banned from Reddit for the stupidest imaginable reason. I don’t really care, it just shows what a complete waste of time it is, but here’s the story anyhow.
I’m going to take an entirely irrelevant example that I came across on Reddit to show just what is wrong with humanity. I trust nobody is going to be surprised in the end. This is a completely throw-away example, but I think it illustrates the point.
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.
So this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but Joe Biden sucks. Have you looked around lately? Banks are failing, the stock market is a mess and confidence is at an all time low. Even the Democrats want someone else to run in 2024, just two weeks into Biden’s official run.
