Wordpress.com Sucks!!




Yesterday I was working on a blog I've had for a few years now.  This blog was full, (well, not quite "full", as I was mostly too lazy to update it consistently), of affiliate links to wonderful products on Amazon.com, such as a great self-help book, a wonderful cookbook, and a book full of great career advice.

Good, wholesome stuff! 

As fate would have it, I got the brilliant idea to link to some books by Aaron Clarey, (aka "Captain Capitalism" - follow him on his cool blog!), as I have been following Aaron for about a year now, and think he is a decent writer with some very excellent ideas.  Doubtlessly more good, wholesome stuff for the masses to consume.

"OH NO!!  NOT ON OUR WATCH!," shrieked the douchebags over at Wordpress.com, for no sooner had I published my page linking to Aaron's books than my blog disappeared, replaced by the message above.

Why did this happen?  Well, Aaron is a conservative guy who pens posts such as "Socialism, Simply", (exposing socialism for what it is, namely, theft), which apparently set loose a bee in the poor Wordpress.com SJW employees' bonnet.  Any form of communication which they disagree with is by definition harassment.  By posting links to Aaron's "hate speech filled" missives, I was aiding the dark side, and therefore my blog was nuked.

Now if I had posted affiliate links to books praising Hillary Clinton, or blogs supporting gender transitions and free-form, relativistic ethics, I bet those same Wordpress.com goons would be praising my blog, and nominating it for "blog of the week".  (Or maybe not.  Who knows - or cares - how those idiots think.)

As it is, I am down to this blog now, and in the amazing position of discovering that on at least one issue Google has more tolerance than other major I.T. companies.  Who would have imagined that!

Since the pricks at Wordpress.com won't let me promote Aaron's cool books on their shitty blogging platform, I guess I'll promote them here.

By the way, many of these books would make an EXCELLENT gift for a recent high school / college graduate, helping them clear their head of all the crap that has been crammed into it in the classroom and replacing it with a clear vision of the world as it really is.













... and finally, one of my favorites:




Pleasant reading!

My Humble Opinion on "Black Lives Matter"

Image
So what's an ignorant, old, grumpy, white man 's opinion of this recent " Black Lives Matter " movement? To begin with, I'm not comfortable with ANY organization that separates people based on, well, anything other than behavior or gender.  (Yes, I'm reactionary enough to believe in only two genders !)  Physical traits, (excepting gender, of course), is absolutely the WORST criteria by which to judge people.   Lump me in with all the folks who proclaim that " ALL Lives Matter ". As for the BLM movement itself, I have serious misgivings with many of their " beliefs ", particularly this one quoted directly from their website : "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable." Considering that over 60% of black children

Driveway Improvements!

Image
Working on the Road Yesterday folks here got tired of my bitching-and-moaning about the horrid condition of the access road and driveway here, so Sweetie paid for some gravel to be delivered, and the neighborhood guys pitched in to help spread it over the muddy ruts. If you remember the prior post, ( A Very Wet Dry Season ), when it rains our driveway turns into a gross mess.  Well, I am very pleased to report that the driveway has been improved, at least temporarily: Our New and Improved Driveway I don't know what will happen to this gravel once the torrential rains of true Wet Season start, but at least this is a much needed temporary improvement.  (I even helped spread some of the gravel across the driveway!) Long term I'd like to put a cement path/patio outside the kitchen door, and cement paths to both the front door and the dreaded outdoor CR, (or at least stepping stones), but I understand that progress here must be incremental.

Posting on Noise.Cash

Image
So for the last month or so I have been ignoring this blog, and posting my "fascinating" accounts of life in rural Philippines on Noise.Cash.  Why?  Because I get paid, (a penny or two), for my activity there. Woo hoo!  I'm a PAID writer!! Unfortunately, Noise.Cash doesn't have a good way to list your posts, so I'm going to give links to some, (15 or so), of my more relevant posts here, in order of oldest to newest.
