Really? This is how you WANT to look??

Ok, I am on a dating website, and really, are women really so stupid that the think the best picture they can put up of them is the one that only shows the top third of their head?? What the FUCK??

Now I realize that you should put your best foot forward and all, but pictures like that – don’t even get me fucking started on the mother fucking DUCK FACE – are NOT a good selling point!

“Hey, the hairline on that one is SEXY!”

“Almost no roots!”

When I look at a picture of someone, I would like to actually SEE that person, not just the top of her head.

“What a straight part!”

Eyes are important, and nice hair is good, but please, you are trying to get a man interested in you. That kind of picture will only attract hairdressers, most of whom are typically gay.

And the duck face is such a massive fucking turn-off. You don’t look sexy, playful, pouty cute, hot, or even slutty. You look STUPID. You look like you want to be one of the aforementioned looks, but you really really really don’t. You are no supermodel – stop trying to imitate them.

iPhone 5 thoughts from Friday, September 21, 2012

Let's look at some things regarding Apple compared to other companies. Apples innovation has been stifled and troubled since the launch of the 4S, but you could even date that back to the launch of the 4. The differences between the 4 and 4S were minimal at best. What'd it bring? A somewhat decent leap in hardware? Sure, but that's to be expected. A new version of iOS? Comes with every iPhone launch. The big "change" touted between the 4 and the 4S was Siri, which turned out to be a steaming pile of dog crap that doesn't work as advertised and still most likely won't even after the highly touted modifications that are coming with iOS6. Now the iPhone 5 was Apples chance for to do something different and unique and that (obviously) didn't happen. The phone needed a drastic overhaul (hardware and software wise) and it didn't get it (shocker (not really) coming from the so called leaders of innovation).

The phone needs a massive GUI change as well. iOS is so outdated and it's really showing. The iOS6 GUI changes all suck (except for the music player) and it's slowed everything down to a snails pace. They can't create software for shit (look at OSX and iTunes on Windows for further evidence). All of the features iOS6 added are basically ripped from Android, which they continuously rip feature sets from other companies, and then turn around and sue other companies for ripping off their "grand design". What's the 5 really bringing? A slimmer, longer phone? Ok sure it's light and that’s nice but it's already been done. What else...a two-tone color approach back panel for a majestic "design enhancement"? Extreme innovation, considering 99.9% of people put a crappy looking case on their phone to protect it cause it'll shatter like glass if it's dropped. Updated map system with turn by turn navigation? Consensus says it sucks, and it really does. Google Maps any day, plus Android had turn by turn day 1. LTE!? Should've been in the 4S, but in typical Apple fashion they run a year behind. Earpods?!? True innovation considering they still suck and everyone will use their pre-existing headphones that provide much better mids, highs and lows. What else...they moved the headphone port to the bottom. Mind...blown...look at that true innovation.

Apple as a company is a giant joke, but it's a popular hipster thing. They crap on companies that attempt to innovate with the threat of lawsuits just to make more money. Their PR has been a nightmare (especially with the Olympic Commercials) and this phone had been entirely leaked prior to its reveal. I can already guess what the iPhone 5s big feature will be - NTC - which should've been in this. Apple is a generation behind now and clearly this is already starting to bite them in the ass. Apple fanboys will always be around and of course the phone will sell millions, but to say there's not a better phone is proof that your head is so far up their butt you might want to wipe the brown off your face. Steve Jobs is probably rolling over in his grave.

US needs to just let them kill each other

“About 200 demonstrators gathered Friday outside the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait and hoisted banners.”

Hey, didn’t we save their ass a while back?

Ungrateful fuckwits! Let’s do this – let’s just leave. Get out of all of the countries that do not want us. Pull out our embassies, pull our commerce, our money, our military troops, everything. Let’s see how long they are content without the US when they are being invaded by larger, more technologically advanced neighbors. Let’s see how the world stage sets up when the US is only in places with who we are actually on good terms. Let’s say to the world, “You don’t like us? Ok, we’re out of here. Good luck with the next Saddam!”

Fuck

Them

The whole issue comes from a video made by an “Egypt-born ex-con” (but the video was produced in California). Even in Egypt, they are protesting the US – BECAUSE OF ONE MAN’S ACTIONS. Like that thimble-brain speaks for ANYONE aside from himself. The first freely elected president of Egypt is admonishing the protestors and trying to quell the violence, but having little effect.

Mob mentality.

These protests are aimed at US, British and German embassies and businesses (like KFC in Lebanon – hello, you asshats, that was actually the income of one of YOUR countrymen!).

Pull the US out of all of this and let them fight it out among themselves.

Their issues are not our responsibility.

Ban the Evil Peanutbutter!!!

Ok, I am torn here. I have seen the severe reactions to peanuts (specifically) by someone that has a peanut allergy. It was very scary. But there is a line, right?

http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/pb-38-j-worst-weapon-kid-bring-school-215000284.html

Is an outright ban really the best that can be done? I mean, I know there have been times that I just didn’t have money for more than a PBnJ, chips a couple cookies and kool-aid for my son’s lunch.  Aside from that, we are back to pandering to one MINORITY – but in this case, the result could very well be death. You all know how much I LOVE pandering. (please note the sarcasm)

Ok, let’s get to the meat of this.

Ban completely? No, not a good idea. Even the founder of The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network, a nut allergy advocacy group, says that the outright ban is a bad idea and prefers finding the middle ground (from linked article).

How about this: When the kid is registered, in ALL of that paperwork that has to be filled out each and every year, list the allergies. Wait, what? They already do that? Oh, ok…. Then since we have that data, why not have the allergy kids eat at a separate table – or they have lunch after all of the other kids eat (thereby reducing the threat of residue). Hmmm. I may be onto something!

I think they call it “compromise”.

Educate. Teach what need to be done if a reaction happens. Show the kids BY EXAMPLE that steps can be made to be rational about issues that are even as extreme as this. But for fuck’s sake, do not ban this for ALL students because of a few. My ex-wife is HIGHLY allergic to strawberries, but I love them and so does my son. They are in the house, she just doesn’t touch them. It’s called teaching the next generation that they will have to know what to do if they come into contact with something to which they are allergic instead of instilling in their minds that they can simply force EVERYONE around them to cater to their needs, because one day, they will apply the same logic to their “wants”.

This is where things get sticky. A line has to be drawn. Solutions have to be developed that will ensure that everyone is safe and happy (as best we can). Banning is not the answer. Education is. Not just for the ones that do NOT have the allergies, but also the ones that do, and those that are employed to be caretakers.

Before you jump up and down, the school is taking care of my son while he is there. They are his caretakers while in school. I have to trust that they will keep him safe while not in my care. That does not mean I intend for them to raise my son. I will educate him on what to do if he sees an emergency. They can reinforce that teaching and provide specifics (such as where the nurse’ office is  and what needs to be said to ensure that the nurse responds with the proper equipment, such as an epi-pen.

I just think that catering, pandering, whatever you want to call it, is not helping teach ANY of the students how to deal with things in the real world. When they graduate, they will still have the allergies – we can’t very well ban peanut butter across the country to protect the whatever-the-percentage-below-the-majority-line-it-is because when they were young nobody taught them how to handle the reaction. Teach responsibility! Get the shit together!!

We did it before!

 - The German Vote

 - 

 - Claim:   A proposal to make German the official language of the United States of America was defeated in  - Congress by one vote.

 - 

 - Status:   False.

 -

 - Origins:   Legend has it that in 1795 a bill to establish German as the official language of the fledgling  

 - United States of America was defeated in Congress by a single vote. There never was such a vote; 

 - indeed, there wasn't any such bill, either. A proposal before Congress in 1795 merely recommended the 

 - printing of federal laws in German as well as English, and no bill was ever actually voted upon.

 -

 - This most famous of language legends began when a group of German-Americans from Augusta, Virginia, 

 - petitioned Congress, and in response to their petition a House committee recommended publishing three 

 - thousand sets of laws in German and distributing them to the states (with copies of statutes printed in 

 - English as well). The House debated this proposal on 13 January 1795 without reaching a decision, and a 

 - vote to adjourn and consider the recommendation at a later date was defeated by one vote, 42 to 41. 

 - There was no vote on an actual bill, merely a vote on whether or not to adjourn. Because the motion to 

 - adjourn did not pass, the matter was dropped. It was from this roll call on adjournment that the "German 

 - missed becoming the official language of the USA by one vote" legend sprang.

 -

 - The House debated translating federal statutes into German again on 16 February 1795, but the final result

 - was the approval of a bill to publish existing and future federal statutes in English only. This bill was 

 - approved by the Senate as well and signed into law by President George Washington a month later. The 

 - legend lives on, though, presented a vivid lesson that the foundations of our world aren't always as solid as 

 - we think.

 

Ok, so there is the precedent. In 1795, our government made a decision to be an English speaking land. So tell me, readers, why is every-fucking-thing now in multiple languages. I like being able to speak to the people around me – and knowing that they understand me. I can even give some leeway for those that come to America from countries that speak a different language, such as Germany or Poland. But come on! Press one for English, Press 2 for Spanish. What about the other languages??!!

Time for us to make a stand. Companies can do whatever the fuck they want to, but Federal and State and City Government facilities and departments need to get the fuck out of the “Make-Everybody-Happy-and-Promote-That-Warm-and-Fuzzy-Feeling” business. It is a waste of time and money.

I am an equally offensive person, so I will offer the following in multiple languages. You PC pukes:

Fuck You! - English

Geh zur Hölle, verschwinde (abfällig) – German

vas te faire foutre  – French

Andá a joderte – Spanish

去你妈的, 见鬼去吧, 走开 (脏话) – Chinese (s)

Sweet heady scent of November Turnovers - but always the empty stomach in December

Elections are coming up! I’m so excited! I love this time of year!

No, I am NOT drunk.

We, the people of this (once) great nation, get to rotate the stale and corrupt leadership of the country for some new, fresh corruption.

Ok, so I am a bit jaded.

Here’s the breakdown:

Upon its creation, the “Founding Document” of the Constitution of the United States refers to the “service” of the citizens to the general public. I love that. The government is truly OF, BY and FOR the PEOPLE. The idea at that time was to have people – learned and altruistic – represent the areas from which they hailed and the people that live there. This gives the common man a VOICE in the running of the country. Once the “service” to the country was complete, the representative would then go back home and resume his (now we can add her) career.  They would serve for a stint of 2 years in some capacity and 4 years in others.

The idea was to make sure those representing the people in their area never became REMOVED from those people. That way, they would be able to speak more knowledgably to the needs of these people. This was a public service, like jury duty.

Time evolved the roles of public servants. That evolution became the corrosive poison that spawned the “Career Politician”. The people that we now have to choose from to represent us – above the local city level – do not even know what it’s like to work a real job. There should never be a career politician. There should be a cap on the service any single individual can perform in these roles. They didn’t need to add that as a part of the Constitution when it was drafted as the idea of someone fattening up off of the “service” role was never even considered at that time.

These people that are elected to be our representatives have no idea what life is like for the majority of their constituency. Mighty fuck, they don’t even live in the same area! They have summer homes and apartments in D.C. and maybe a home in the upscale area of the region they represent. They fly on our dime, they live on our dime. We have Senators that have been in office for over 20 years! And when they retire, they get a pension from the government FOR LIFE. Not one that would be like yours or mine – certainly not the equivalent of Social Security I will get when (and IF) I get to retire! They will continue to get special treatment and special consideration until the day they die. Some get security details allotted to them after they are done “serving”.

Ok… back to the task at hand.

I want a change as much as the next person. It will never happen. It won’t happen because the people that would be hurt by any of these drastic changes are the same people that would have to vote to pass any legislation to make these changes. One of them would have to actually stand up and say, “I am sick of fucking the entire country just so I don’t have to work. And I’m tired of setting up my retirement at age 35 off of the government loopholes to live a lavish lifestyle for the next 30 plus years. And I am SICK and TIRED of doing all of this, loving the government tit, while making the average person in this country suck the government DICK!”

You want to know who’s going to volunteer that little gem? NOBODY!

Every term, more money is flushed in the D.C. Crapper to give the “Career Politician” another raise or perk or whatever.

But every couple of years, we – as a nation – hold the reigns for a few months. The power really can be ours. You and me – we got this. A full-fledged turnover is much needed. We gripe, we complain, we say we want more from these “servants”.

And like lambs to the slaughter, we follow the most popular. We get wrapped up in BULLSHIT and stop paying attention to the things that really matter.

WAKE THE FUCK UP, America!
