Roblox Lawsuit? Seriously…

I Need To Stop Reading the “News”….Holy Crow.

Maybe an alien abduction would be a rescue mission at this point. 😳 Suing Roblox because the kid can’t stop playing/thinking about the game. Apparently, his stellar parents had him online at 5 or 6; could this have been the problem?

Gaming is a fact of life. It has been a fact of life since the late ’80’s; personally, I’ve been gaming since the days of Leisure Suit Larry, Goldrush etc. We have owned computers, Nintendo, Sega, Playstation, Gameboy was in the home as well although according to my sons – it sucked. I never played it, bothered my eyes. Why aren’t my kids addicted? There were limits. Yes, SHOCK AND AWE, the kids had limits.

I have a grandson, he plays Roblox but his parents have set strict limits on electronic engagement. I was so proud of his folks; grandson came here, I asked him if he wanted to play on my PS5 and he declined, telling me that he had reached his daily limit. I could have cried with joy!

Parental responsibility folks. Not a hard concept but it appears it is easier to blame outside forces for parental failure and make no mistake, no establishing limits is a gross failure.

Kid throws a tantrum? Tough. Throw it. The prohibition is extended. Parents work? Either change the password or bring the connectors with you, if you can trust your child. Parental controls – learn how to use them. Worse case scenario? Sell the console.

This is not rocket science. I sincerely hope this ridiculous lawsuit is tossed in the bin and parents are ordered to attend parenting classes. Jesus in handcart….

Smart People Don’t Like Trump or The Idiots Hero.

He really is the president of the mediocre and just plain uneducated,

These are the same people screaming about how Big-Bad-Pharma is withholding a cure for cancer; in full “Ignorance is bliss” form. Cancer, by the way, is an umbrella term for the hundreds of forms by which these conditions present. There is and will never be “One Cure Fits All” but I digress…

Autism is a spectrum; different levels, different presentations.

Telling parents of children with Autism that their child is autistic due to the ingestion of Acetaminophen is not only irresponsible, dangerous, it is, blatantly, stupid. Studies are cited by the Orange Moron and his toadies, studies that are woefully inaccurate and poorly undertaken but who am I to judge…I do not hold a PhD but I do know someone who does…

Dr. Joe Schwarcz:

Dr. Joe Schwarcz is Director of McGill University’s “Office for Science and Society” which has the mission of separating sense from nonsense. He is well known for his informative and entertaining public lectures on topics ranging from the chemistry of food to the connection between the body and the mind. Recently the Office has focused on trying to unravel the mysteries of COVID-19.Professor Schwarcz has received numerous awards for teaching chemistry and for interpreting science for the public and was the first non-American ever to win the American Chemical Society’s prestigious Grady-Stack Award for demystifying chemistry. He was awarded the 2010 “Montreal Medal” which is the Canadian Chemical Institute’s premier prize recognizing lifetime contributions to chemistry in Canada. In 2015 he was named winner of the Balles Prize for critical thinking by the US based Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. In 2018 he was the recipient of McGill University’s “Principal’s Prize for Public Engagement Through Media.” He has also been awarded honorary degrees by Athabasca University, Cape Breton University, the University of Windsor, and Simon Fraser University.

Advent of Satanic Panic 2.0?

Fundies are at it again.

Lordy, lordy…they’re at it again. It wasn’t enough, back in the early ’80s, to destroy lives with bullshit, they are looking to start it again. “Forward by Charlie Kirk” 🤮.

“Confronting America’s Godless Uprising”, I would laugh at the contradiction but as I do remember the devastation caused by “Xtians” with no real understanding of their own religion, let alone mine; let’s just start here, Neo-Pagans (that’s actually what we are) are polytheistic, not godless…

I did see this referenced as a “Tempest in a Teapot” and I would, heartily, disagree after witnessing the elevation of a racist, homophobic faux-Christian influencer to sainthood. There are enough of these idiots to create a danger for anyone not involved with their cult. They filled a freaking auditorium. The whole thing gave off Jim Jones/Heaven’s Gate vibes. Make no mistake, they are fanatics and as fanatics, they are dangerous.

The Satanic Panic gained an insane amount of attention, even law enforcement became involved. Innocent people were arrested, charged with the most heinous of crimes with NO EVIDENCE. Kind of like what ICE is doing, currently. If someone was to have told me, even 5 years ago, that the United States would turn into a pseudo-Nazi State, run by a dementia addled leader? I, honestly, would have encouraged them to have their medications checked. And here we are..

Discounting the threat to non-Xtians is a seriously risky road to take. These pseudo-Xtians are dangerous. They are dangerous to Neo-Pagans, to the Black, Hispanic, Asian populations, the LGBTQ2S+ folks and anyone else who doesn’t freckle in the sun and thump the bible, at every opportunity, (yet haven’t actually read the thing). These religious fascists thrive on fear. It is their primary weapon and selling point. We ignore them at our own peril.

It only took 1 book to truly start the ball rolling in 1980 – Michele Remembers; it behooves us to remember that.

Catalyst and Light on the Evil in the U.S.

Masquerading as Xtians or The MAGA Coachella…

This photo shows you all you need to know. Fake Christians elevating a hateful man to saint status but then, the audience at that “memorial” are the same ones who put a convicted felon, adulterer, thief and general P.O.S. of a skin bag into office.

Oh Mr. Hasan, I never wondered why they never share the clips. Disgusting hypocrites.

Kirk’s critics had a very different view of him, arguing that his positions alienated large parts of the population and were, at times, toxic and dangerous. Kirk once said Biden “should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America,” suggested that “every gender-affirming clinic doctor” should face a “Nuremberg-style trial” and called the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. an “awful” person who “said one good thing he actually didn’t believe,” among other remarks.” (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/charlie-kirk-funeral-conservative-revival-rcna232823)

Yes – Kirk was toxic and he was dangerous; more so now that the brain-dead right wingnut factions of the fake Christian nationalists have elevated him to saint status.

Is there a divide in North American politics? Absolutely. The divide is between thinking human beings and whatever these idiots are…

Rapture #?? I’ve Lost Count

Well, they’ve scheduled another Rapture…sort of; it is either Tuesday Sept. 23 or Wednesday Sept. 24th, its kind of up in the air..🤣🤣 (See what I did there?)

Don’t try to tell them that the Rapture is not in the bible. Or that according to their own dogma, to predict a Rapture is blasphemy, that would be too much like facts and we can’t have facts, now can we?

I will ask a few favours from these Rapture-ites;

  • Leave your front door unlocked.
  • Leave all necessary keys or codes on your dining or kitchen table.
  • If you would make sure your vehicle is fueled up, that would be a help.
  • Please wear your underwear, we don’t need to look up and see that…😳

You see, if you go? We can provide homes for the homeless. Transportation for those who can’t afford a vehicle. Money for necessary medications. The list is endless.

And don’t bother sending me messages, telling me you hope I find god; babies, I didn’t lose him and you guys really need to attach a tracker to him so he won’t go missing so often.

Scams, Privacy Risk and Social Media

Store Closing Ad, Fast Fashion, Flash Deals

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/buyer-beware-clothing-not-as-advertised/vi-AA1N2Mxo?ocid=socialshare

Scams are a huge business on social media; I see it on all platforms but no where is this more prevalent than on Facebook. We’ve all seen them, “Sadly, We’re Closing Our Store” seems to be a huge trend. Also, using algorithms, ..social media users are targeted; ads showing bohemian clothing show up on my accounts regularly. I usually click on the “Do Not Show Ad” again option but that doesn’t even slow them down.

My rule of thumb? If the ad is on social media, unless it is a huge retailer like Amazon? I click on the “X” and move on.

Shein and Temu are absolute “No” for me; I prefer quality over quantity. I like my clothing to last, I like seams…I like clothes made of material that doesn’t feel/look like it would melt when exposed to heat. I have ordered from Shein and I was not happy with the materials used, with the fit or the quality. Believe me, you get what you pay for.

The other thing that is of major concern, is that all these places require your credit card. Sure, they tell you that the information is not stored unless you request it but I’ve been around the online world since before it became a norm, don’t believe it.

Don’t be seduced by the ads, if it looks too good to be true, IT IS. Shoddy workmanship, inferior materials and privacy risks are not worth it.

Amerika

Referencing 1930’s Germany – the usual question is “How could the German people allow this?!”

Well, we can watch “How” in real time. The United States. How does a democracy become a totalitarian state? Look at the U.S.! The current incarnation of the G.O.P. is the Nazi party. My god, their fearless leader believe Kim Joon Un is a great leader: Trump was asked whether Kim might someday visit the White House. Trump said it “could happen, “Hey, he’s the head of a country, and I mean he’s the strong head. … [Kim] speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”

And apparently, they are. Well, the right wingnuts are, at any rate.

In 2022, Trump, at a GOP fundraiser, expressed admiration for how Jong Un’s generals and aides “cowered” when he spoke to them. “Total control,” Trump said of the dictator’s authoritarian model.

And again, that’s what is happening in the U.S. The generals, the aides, the corporate and political power mongers are cowering.

The propaganda machine is in full swing. An internet “influencer” is being elevated to national hero. They’ve freaking given him a day. A misogynist, Xtian nationalist, bigot has been given a day of recognition, but a Senator, her husband and dog, murdered by one of Yam-Tits fans, receives nothing. Children shot down in their schools – nothing…Oops, wrong – that’s right “Thoughts and prayers.”

Television personalities being fired because they aren’t “nice” to the dictator or that “national hero”.

Media stifled. Entertainment corporations bowing and scraping because the $$ is far more important than the integrity of media and freedom of speech (you know, their 1st Amendment).

Armed ICE terrorists grabbing people off the street, from the jobs, from schools. Remind anyone of the Brown Shirts and Gestapo? Sure reminds me but then, I have had the benefit of a good education and none of my relatives were draft dodgers.

That whole Hyundai factory debacle.

Farmers facing potential bankruptcy in the face of the tax on the stupid – tariffs. Imagine not understanding how tariffs work. Mind blowing. Watch and see who buys up those bankrupt farms.

Alligator Alcatraz. People laughing and joking about feeding the ‘gators with the political prisoners housed within those walls.

Yam-Tits himself has, openly, admitted that “Smart people don’t like him.” But his followers, his minions, don’t seem to understand what he is saying…and so, here we are. The United States turning into 1930’s Germany, complete with a Gestapo-like police force.

Canada needs to take the threat to our south, seriously. He and his terrorists are no longer funny. His orange visage and dirty diapers. Look behind his marionette status. He is being used to achieve a total dictatorship where there is no constitution save the one they come up with, replete with concentration and re-education camps.

Time to Stop Neo-Nazism at Our Borders!

Step 1 – Sign the petition.

https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6679

It doesn’t matter where you sit on the political spectrum, it doesn’t matter if you believe in God, Gods, Goddesses, Satan or no religious affiliation at all.

Politicians must be held to the highest of standards. ALL politicians. Scheer made some inflammatory statements against a journalist which resulted in death threats. He knew, damn well, what the potential consequences would be and let’s just say, that he is so stupid as to not realize? Then he has no business representing Canadians. Poilievre’s wife shared that post. She too, has a responsibility as a public figure, married to a politician. Words matter and in this time of escalating political violence? Now, more than ever, politicians need to uphold the dignity of office and understand the protection of truth as one of their primary responsibilities.

Please sign the petition – help to ensure the dignity of political office; force these people to speak truth, not speculatory slander. Stop the American polarization based on lies, innuendo and hate, at the doors of our parliamentary buildings.

Andrew Scheer Needs To Crawl Back Under His Rock.

Baiting the morons – Andrew Scheer needs to shut up.

So Andy (@AndrewScheer) anything for views? Doesn’t matter that Rachel said, absolutely, nothing hateful. You, you pathetic failure, saw the Kirk name and hooked your dingy to it.

And she’s right; look at the right wingnut reaction to her. Those fragile little snowflake egos…jumped on their keyboards and started making death threats. Proud of yourself, you weasel?

And no, I’m not a Liberal, not an N.D.P’er, Green or Conservative. I vote for the party that has the strongest platform, I look at the members, I look at how the MPs serve my district and vote on that basis. It is because of this I will not vote Conservative. The party has too many G.O.P. mimics. The Conservative party fans the flames of division. Too much racist rhetoric, misogyny and just plain ignorance.

Rachel Gilmore has bigger balls than you can ever dream of having. She stands up and calls out anti-Canadian rhetoric, exposes the radical right wing racists, the neo-Nazis, the garbage dragging their knuckles on our streets. Do you? No. You hide until you think you have found an issue that appeals to the lowest of the Canadian voter base and run with it.

You need to be censured. You need to face consequences of your actions as an elected official. You are supposed to represent Canadians best interests. Aligning yourself with far right wing ideology is not in Canada’s best interest. We fought a war against fascism, or did you skip that particular class?
