Alpha Male? Jig is up.

Your Time is Done Bro…

So your advertising campaign is up. You had a good run…for millennia but its over. Meh, it happens. This is an E.L.E. for you. Either you evolve or you enter extinction.

You see, women are aware that a single life is preferable to submitting to anyone. You use the “threat” 🤣🤣 of growing old alone and being surrounded by cats as something to be feared. Wow. Really do drag your knuckles, don’t you? Living alone in a freaking studio apartment would be preferable to having to endure a single minute with some sort of fantasy-living alpha male dipshit.

I live with a partner. He is a partner. We share everything. We always have, from household chores, to raising kids, to working outside the home, everything was/is shared.

Somewhere along the line, this “advertising” campaign targeted young men into thinking they were a superior being. They lied. Now they’re pushing a “Male Loneliness” epidemic ad campaign, blaming women. I tell you, you can’t make this shit up. The only loneliness is the segment of the male species that has failed to thrive in a modern environment. Too bad, so sad. You and your “Alpha male bros” are doomed. It is you who will be old and alone, even cats won’t have you.

Women are not the enemy, the podcast Neanderthals’ and dating coaches are your enemy. They’re in it for your wallet and nothing else. Divorce rate up? Baby making rate down? Can’t find a good woman? Oh my dear bros…it isn’t women who are the authors of your demise. It is you. Women are human beings, and they, unlike you, have evolved. Men are not required for a happy, fulfilling life. Read that again, MEN ARE NOT REQUIRED. You need to progress. You need to learn how to adapt to a world where all genders are equal otherwise…you may end up like the Bog Man, a mummified relic from a forgotten age.

Online Abuse; the Creepy Crawlies Online

Block, Ignore and Report; it is criminal!

Definition from Castle website;

The different categories of online abuse

Account Integrity

Account integrity abuses encompass activities where bad actors manipulate or misuse identities, attempting to operate behind a facade through fabricated or stolen data. Such deceptions include;

  • Fake Accounts – creating false accounts to troll or harass other users.
  • Account Sharing – sharing a single use subscription to a video streaming service
  • Multi Accounting – users create multiple accounts to upvote their own posts
  • Identity Theft – using someone else’s personal information to create a new account

I’ve been on “social media” since the BBS days of yore and online abuse has always been an issu; threats, identity theft, dick pics… Unfortunately, it is become worse, it has become dangerous and it is, now, criminal.

I’ve been the target (I am no one’s “victim”) of abuse, of account spamming by hated filled knotheads. It can be upsetting, particularly when doxxing is employed.

Doxing is the intentional online exposure of an individual’s identity, private information or personal details without their consent. It is slimy, heinous and deserves a jail cell, I.M.O.

I’m seeing this, currently, on TikTok. This is an abuse of the system and is so very common on that social media platform. I believe in freedom of speech but there has to be a very firm line. When the personal privacy and safety of individuals are involved? The platform and the law should be obligated to step in.

If you are the target of such disgusting behaviour? BLOCK, I know the temptation to reply/watch is strong but don’t do it. These are folks with underdeveloped psyches and the more attention, the worse the behaviours, as protection is spotty and minimal from the platforms; protect yourself. Gather the evidence you have on hand, videos, messages etc. and save to a flash-drive; send a message and screenshot that message with the date/time appearing, informing said piece of shit that you are requesting that the behaviour cease, immediately, then, you have to block.

I used to refer to the internet as a double-edged sword…it is and both sides are razor sharp. Protect yourself out there…

Violence Against Seniors By Family!

Abuse immediately makes me see red. So, I had to sit down and calm myself before attempting this post and I make no promises that I won’t use offensive language. I will try but I can’t promise.

This particular piece is about elder abuse, so don’t do the “What about “XYZ” abuse”. All forms of abuse are inexcusable but this? This is about the abuse of a massive group of vulnerable people.

This abuse is occurring in the homes of the seniors, a place where they should feel safe, secure. It is happening in long term care institutions, hospitals, and centres d’acceuil (I can’t think of the English words…kind of like a seniors residence but with care). There’s no excuse, everyone is a P.O.S, no one more than another, family members, friends, nurses, hospital/care center staffers.

Oh I hear some now; “You don’t know the stress!” Wrong. I do. I know how hard it is to deal with an elderly individual who is losing cognitive function, who is losing control over bodily functions, late night ambulance calls, doctor appointments, tests, dangerous episodes of forgetfulness, all while trying to hold down a full time job and maintain a home.

There has to be more support for caregivers, at home, in the various residences/institutions but it won’t happen. No one is willing to pay for the kind of aid required. Senior residences are in it for the $$$, public institutions don’t have the funds and care by family? The latter are completely forgotten; oh sure, you can get a grant for assistance tools – stabilizing bars for the shower…etc. Big freaking deal.

I wish I could hold out with some optimism but I’ve been around too long. Nothing will happen, Stats-Can are free to run as many studies as they wish but it all amounts to nothing but wasted time, while senior are beaten, forgotten and left to die, alone. We are judged by who we treat our most vulnerable and we are failing, monumentally, with our treatment of seniors.

In Montreal, the Elder Abuse Line can be reached at 1-888-489-2287 or 514-489-2287. This bilingual, confidential help line is available for seniors who are victims of exploitation, abuse, or neglect, as well as their families, friends, neighbors, and the general population. The line is a provincial government service and offers support and referrals for those in need

It Was Never About Protecting You.

Decriminalize Drug Use. It is a public health issue.

Go ahead, clutch your pearls and when you’re done? Ask yourself about that “War on Drugs”, has it been successful? That’s a big old “No!”

Now, take a look at the Netherlands, at Portugal where individual drug use has been decriminalized, holding drugs in the amounts designed for personal use has also been decriminalized. It has not led to wide spread addiction, it has led to a common sense approach to a health problem.

People are dying but they are not “one of us” so who cares, right? Well, as a human being, I do.

Did prohibition work? Sure did, if you want to talk about the creation and perpetuation of criminal networks and whole lot of dirty money exchanging hands. Financial dynasties were created by thwarting the Volstead Act. Same way financial dynasties have been created thwarting useless drug laws, throughout the world.

Decriminalizing drug use, offering health care and allowing people to maintain their dignity will go much further in lowering drug related crime than the nonsensical systems currently in place.

I’m so tired of watching people die, of prisons being overcrowded due to indifference. Of criminals living in luxury as they funnel the pay-offs and the bribes so they can continue to kill, indiscriminately.

The whole system needs to be scrapped and a new common sense address of the situation is long overdue. The “Why’s” absolutely need to be examined. The root causes. Why do you not require chemical/organic aids to get through a day; what is the difference between you and the person dying in the street, in their homes, in a club or a high school bathroom? Who is benefitting from the drug crisis?

Society is judged, by history, for its treatment of its vulnerable. We’re failing, in a big way.

CatFish Channel or Empathy Is Not A Character Flaw

I keep track of the Catfish YouTube Channel and the goings-on in the romance/BitCoin etc. scammer world. The incredible number of people falling victim to scams, primarily online is, frankly, scary.

And after the scam? There is, virtually, nothing that can be done to recover funds, reputation and sense of worth. These garbage wastes of skin move on to new scams, to new victims and it is ESSENTIAL to understand that there is no guilt, no remorse. I often see victims as “How can they live with themselves?!” Quite easily has they do not possess the necessary brain cells operate their daily lives with any sort of integrity.

But, it isn’t just the scammers themselves, it is the passing of judgment of strangers online, family and friends. “How could you (they) be so stupid/gullible?!” Obviously, there are other things going on, loneliness is the primary characteristic although mental illness, dementia and Alzheimer’s are also a factor in some of the cases. It is just so easy to stand back, criticize and ridicule these victims but not so easy to reverse that mirror and look at ourselves. What is missing in our own psyche that makes laughing at these victims so easy to do?

Perhaps instead of being total assholes, sharing information on the avoidance of scammers/fraudsters would be of a lot more assistance than taunts and insults.

I’ve been on social media since before it became known as “social media”; I’ve had romance DMs from the likes of Keanu Reeves, Elon Musk, various C&W musicians (even though I am and have always been a metalhead with an intense dislike for C&W), Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington…poor guys are so lonely and love my profile…🤣🤣🤣. I am fortunate, I have good mental health, I have a sense of self and I am not lonely. I know I am fortunate. It breaks my heart that so many people are not. Most of the scam victims are older, not all but most. Some are desperately lonely, obviously naive and not particularly savvy when it comes to online scammers. They need help, support and a little human caring, not criticism from pompous online keyboard warriors.

On What Planet Is This Acceptable?

Disgusting comment and really didn’t think this through, did you, b’y?

Story behind this? Someone posted of spreading a friend’s ashes (it was legal).

This guy felt that his comment was not only appropriate on a public forum, but laughed at his own comment…

This is to Sidney Knourek; as a rule, I ignore people like you but this particular comment and the context in which it was posted defied all boundaries of what I could and could not ignore. I understand the nature of methane gas bubbles needing to release from the depth of a septic tank but your particular bubble was just too noxious not to acknowledge.

You are in an industry that requires you to enter peoples’ homes, their sanctuary; how do you think they would feel knowing that someone this vile was in their place of peace?

You had every opportunity not to post, you had every opportunity to delete the post yet you chose not to and ended up having to be blocked.

I am curious, okay, morbid curiousity, but what toxic fumes have decimated your brain to the point where you thought this was a good thing to do? It isn’t freedom of speech (as a Canadian, you should be aware that we do not have that in our Charter, that’s an American thing), what you allowed yourself to do, to post for all to see, as it was a public forum, was offensive, had no merit and frankly, was as disgusting a comment as could have been uploaded.

I’m assuming either mental illness or cognitive impairment as you have created, at least, 3 profiles; did you forget your password and your back up security information?

Perhaps it is time for your family to limit your internet usage as you seem to have regressed to early childhood.
