I Prefer Jerks
I prefer conversations that are blunt. The best communicators speak the truth clearly and abruptly without considering the emotional consequences I might suffer. My favorite conversations are with people who just say what they think is right even though it could offend me. These are the people you would call, ‘Jerks.’ I suppose I’m fond […]
Another Reason Murder Should Be Illegal
The Supreme Court is sort of talking about maybe, possibly, perhaps, overturning Roe vs Wade and giving the States the power to outlaw the barbaric destruction of unborn children. This would be great news not only for unborn children, but for the people who can’t figure out all by themselves that child sacrifice is a […]
Everything Is Easier Said Than Done
When I suggested that people control themselves even when they’re ‘provoked’ a few people responded by saying, “That’s easier said than done.” I want to thank you for sharing that insight with me. In all my years on Earth, I hadn’t noticed that saying something is easier than doing something. I’ve heard people say, “Talk […]
Spiritual Journey Without Spirits
I hear you say you’re a ‘spiritual’ person but you can’t stand ‘organized religion.’ You’re sick to death of religious people doing religious things and getting all the credit for being righteous. You know religious people are all just hypocrites. You know religion is a scam and you want your personal enlightenment recognized. As you […]
Prepare To Be Provoked
This is a good meme to memorize for when you are sentenced to prison. A common belief among criminals is that their ‘ugly side’ is someone else’s responsibility. In reality, your ‘ugly side’ is as much a part of you as your ‘beautiful side.’ That’s assuming you HAVE a ‘beautiful side.’ If your ‘ugly side’ […]
I Love Separation and Division
All the cool kids are telling me to make unity my top priority but I don’t WANT to be part of most groups, including the cool kids’. I don’t fit in with the unity crowd and that’s not likely to change unless I receive some kind of brain injury. I like division, disconnection, and separation. […]
No Consequence For Free Speech
Some fans were ejected from an NBA game because they said something that upset LeBron James. For those of you who pay attention to more important things than the NBA (like gardening, knitting, baking, napping, or thinking about anything other than millionaires playing games), LeBron James is a basketball player. Besides tossing a ball through […]
A.I. Is A Delusion
Lots of people are worried about Artificial Intelligence. That’s what happens when we don’t tell children that science fiction isn’t ‘Future Science Fact.’ Kids think that the ‘Terminator’ movies are prophecy. These kids become adults who worry about machines coming to life and wiping out humanity. Some famous people have made statements about the ‘progress’ […]
Racism Is Unpopular
Despite what you’ve heard, racism isn’t a big problem in this country. It used to be. Awhile back, racism was more popular than it is today. Some of mankind’s worst ideas (like Crocs, The Snuggie, and Auto-Tuned music) have inexplicably enjoyed moments of popularity. Racism, like finger spinners, was all the rage for a little […]
Don’t Take Advice From Bad Guys
One of my methods of alienating readers is to make big deals out of little things. I write lengthy essays on obscure topics that cause people to ask, “Why do you even care about this?” I could ask, “Why DON’T you care about this?” but I’m distracted by this obscure meme so I’m going to […]
