When I was jumped by a bully in middle school, while he sat on my chest throwing punches toward my face, he said two phrases:
“Hold still!”
“Put your hands down!”
I did neither.
My friends pulled him off seconds after his third repetition of those words.
I’m here to tell you what bullies will say when they hold you down, to better beat you before help can arrive.
You did remember to make friends on the way to this ambush, right?
And, the most exquisite CODA cum finale:
I just got done watching “Tron:Legacy”, primarily to confirm my heavy suspicion that “Tron:Legacy” the movie sucks. It absolutely does. Great job on the soundtrack and effects, guys. But the screenwriters and the director are the kind that I’d choose as first up against the wall come the next revolution (except the one who put in the “What’s [Jules Verne] like?” joke…you can stay…and I hope it was the ACTRESS).
Here’s what pissed me off first, I don’t even want to measure what pissed me off the most, because that’s a task of little thanks.
Biggest change from the first? Instead of blue lines, the “good guys” are now fully white lines.
The reds lines are still red, along with being a total massive horde controlled and led by a charismatic warrior, who is a yellow line. He’s corrupted by an over-zealous dedication to perfection, something which is assigned as COMING FROM THE CREATOR, A WHITE LINE. The white lines are either the “heroes” or the weak the heroes protect. The Father white line has been allowed to APPROPRIATE the adoption of zen…not the yellow line, over perfect warrior leader.
At the very end, no spoilers, a red line sacrifices himself to save the white lines. As he’s sinking into a sea-like depth, his lines turn white.
See all that? Lines are politico-genetic lineages or cultural traditions. White = Western, Red = Eastern (including Russian), and the one Yellow bastard is a COPY OF US trying to escape the world a western human ( who is still a white line when in the Grid) made for him, by pretty much lying about the whit lines to the red ones. I could barely keep from puking on the floor of the cinema, and I hold held that back because a friend works there.
Fuck you Disney. The Russians are dead, Pearl Harbor was avenged, China isn’t THAT kind of threat, the Japanese already surrendered but they didn’t do it to save US, and they didn’t become Western (and won’t). And we didn’t fucking invent them, ever. They aren’t our flawed mirror image.
By the way, the Japanese INVENTED zen and the entire concept of the ethical warrior (whether or not they’ve ever achieved it is a moot point), so why is the white line westerner the only one who knows about either, you false and thieving magpies?
Did I mention that I can do without a whole lot of Disney’s continued racist encoding?
Should I mention I haven’t even started writing about the sexist dimensions of this wad of monkey shit flung at my brain? I’ll go there if anyone asks me to.
The Revolution will not be Midaevalized.
This is what Republicans sound like to me this week:
“OK, what happened was, I was raping in the living room…but I _wasn’t_really_raping_, OK? Because I remember how you said I wasn’t as’posed to rape in the living room anymore, right? So, when I was PLAYING in the living room, I was just moving my penis back-and-forth real fast in the air, and she was passed out at the exact same spot! It wasn’t my fault! Can’t she be fined for not labeling a dangerous gap?”
Because it’s NEVER about real engineering or service to customers. It’s ALWAYS about the MONEY.
So much for this little gotcha, huh, Balmer? Pro Tip: If you’re going to call out your competitor on privacy, don’t let OUTSIDE ADVERTISING FIRMS choke your PRIVACY FEATURES. Just FYI you browser-percent warriors: IPB is exactly the sort of thing that actually might have made me use IE, ever.
Those ad industry assholes actually think they have a right to know what you do simply because you run a browser, because it makes THEIR job easier. I’m sorry, but if you could afford a marketing degree, you can fucking well do your own research instead of leveraging stock portfolios into a data grant. Which is fine, for a strategy. My problem is that Microsoft BOUGHT INTO IT. Just like good little whores.
I know people who work on IE. I want to know how they feel about their user privacy features being sold out to vested interests. I mean, I know you get some gravy in the form of options, but doesn’t that just make you feel dirty? You put a leash on baby-candy, and your boss made you take it off. Now you are an accessory to baby-candy theft. You do realize this, right? I quit jobs when they make me do unethical things. Just a suggestion.
Somehow Google manages to keep its ad business interests separate from their search engine and browser feature sets. If MS wants to compete on the new internet, they’d better learn the same adaptive strategy.
If you’re Republican touting that whole, “people on benefits are just lazy bums wanting more ‘funemployment’ checks to buy another Cadillac and a fistful of the crack,” line, you are hereby invited to my home. I’ll show you two things…
First, and this is free even if you don’t come over, I’ll show you this graph from USBLS numbers as compiled by the Atlantic:
Afterward, if you were still inclined to feel that enough has been done about the job market, I’d show you the business end of my cock as it plugged up your stupid spew hole. My part of ending the exact pollution contributing to, if not causing, the problem. You fucking well should see how lazy I’m not and exactly how much fun it isn’t, then, buddy.
(Special invitations go out to Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, the disgraced Newt Gingrich, the disgraced David Vitter, hell, the whole fucking Caucus is invited!)
