I find these things all the time online, things that are just stupid, but they don’t warrant an extended response, nor are they in the wheelhouse to make a video about. I want to say something but it’s hardly worth my time to do so.
This morning, as we were getting ready to leave, this was running around in our front yard. It’s a pug mix, terribly dehydrated and starving. He was putting on the fake limping act to get attention and the second my wife opened the door, he ran right inside. It’s in the 30s outside right now and overnight it was down in the 20s.
I was going to write a post on this anyhow, but it came up on a recent video in the comments and I wanted to explain my position in a way that’s really not amenable to YouTube commentary debates.
There was a recent news story that “hate crimes” are on the rise and, of course, the left-leaning media is blaming it all on Trump. What else is new?
Now I’ll be honest up front that I am not a big fan of the Friendly Atheist, just like I’m not a big fan of most atheists who routinely mix liberal politics with their atheism and he’s among the worst. This isn’t really about him specifically though, he’s just a convenient segue. However, he put out a video talking about Candace Cameron Bure and… yeah, we have to talk about it because it’s another clear case where the left entirely ignore all of the things that their side does wrong.
I’m often critical of a lot of things that Matt Dillahunty says. Granted, I think he’s a skilled debater against a lot of religious topics and he deserves a fair bit of credit for that. Then, sadly, he leaves the reservation of reason when it comes to his social and philosophical views, which are not defensible, not evidence-based and not verifiable in any objective way.
Both of my wife’s parents died in 2022 and we’ve been spending most of our free time trying to unravel their financial dealings and getting their estate settled. It’s been one nightmare after another. However, when digging through the bills, we found one from ADT. They don’t have a security system. They have never had a security system. So what is it?
I don’t typically do Christmas posts. I have in the past, I’ve also done Christmas-themed videos, but how much can you really say about a holiday that never changes? Therefore, at least online, I pretty much ignore all holidays because I’ve said what I have to say.
However, Viced Rhino did a video on Christmas and there’s a lot of problems in it that I wanted to address. I think this is another case of only looking at things from your own side.
I’ve been posting a lot lately over on my other blog about the “gimme money” aspect of a lot of hobbyists and it goes beyond just collecting things. It seems like today, people can’t just collect things for the sake of collecting them, they have to do it to make a buck and that bugs me to no end.
It strikes me that much of this comes from the modern Millennial mindset because most of the people that I see pushing this thing in most hobbies, they tend to be very young.
My wife is a trained anthropologist so the second that the anthropology community got in an uproar over the new Netflix “documentary” Ancient Apocalypse, hosted by Graham Hancock, she insisted that we watch it.
It’s really hard to find a side in modern society that I want anything to do with. Every side of any size sucks and I want nothing to do with any of it, yet mostly, we’re expected to embrace the suckage and pick a side and I really refuse to do so.
