Rush - Spirit of Radio - Performance Analysis. :)

 

Alrighty then...yes, I am at home today, not doing much, checking out some reaction videos. So, I come across this reaction (video below) of a well known Opera singer, reacting to, the greatest band the planet has ever seen, with my favorite song (though pretty much whatever Rush song I'm listening to at the moment, is my current "favorite"). I find it interesting when people that are extensively trained, classically trained, break down the music of people that...mostly have no training, but are just born with a natural gift for creating the kickiest kick ass, rocking rock music ever made. Best drummer, best bassist, best guitarist, best lyricist the world has ever seen. Light years ahead of anyone else. 

Yes, I have gone off the deep end, lol. 

But, for those that are Rush fans, who may be bored, it's fascinating to see the delight, the thrill, the enjoyment of someone from a totally different musical genre, be so impressed by 3 Canadian dudes that were mostly baked on hash and weed when they wrote much of their music. And again, for these guys, it was not due to education, training, college, or anything other than, just innate talent. Okay, enough out of me. Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend...I sure as hell am.  :) 

For a sampling of who the above "reactor" is, click below...

Cheer up! Things are Getting Better. :)

Contrary to the doom and gloom predictions, reports and statements by the media selling drama and alarm for clicks and traffic, and the insane chronically negative (and stupid) GOP trying to sell fear to get elected or reelected, things are not as dire as some assume. Sure, the world is huge and bad things happen, they are happening somewhere, to someone, every second of the day. But overall, globally, life is improving for the majority of human beings. 

The World is Not Getting Worse, It’s Getting Better: 35 Good News Stories.  

1. Over the last 20 years, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty has almost been cut in half.

2. Just 200 years ago, 85% of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty. 20 years ago it was 29%. Today only 9% live in extreme poverty while the majority of people (75%) around the globe live in middle-income countries.

3. In 1997, 42% of the population of both India and China were living in extreme poverty. By 2017 that share had dropped to 12% in India and less than 1% for China. That means almost three-quarters of a billion fewer people are living in extreme poverty in these two countries than there were just 20 years earlier.

4. In 1800, among all babies who were ever born, roughly half died during their childhood. Life expectancy was just 30 years and no country had a life expectancy above 40. Life expectancy at birth was only 45 years in 1870. The average life expectancy around the world today is 72.

5. The violent crime rate has been on a downward trend since 1990 in the U.S. Just under 14.5 million crimes were reported in 1990. By 2016 that figure was well under 9.5 million.

6. The number of deaths from natural disasters is 25% of what it was 100 years ago.

7. Flying has gotten 2,100 times safer over the past 70 years. 2016 was the second safest year in aviation history. The odds of being fatally injured in a plane crash are just 0.000025%.

8. The real price of plane travel in the U.S. has fallen by more than half since the late 1970s.

9. Between the late Middle Ages and the 20th century, European countries saw a 10-fold-to-50-fold decline in their rates of homicide.

10. The share of homes that had electricity in 1870 was exactly zero. Today the proportion of people with electricity is 85%.

11. In 1905, a Vermont doctor and his chauffeur were the first to successfully drive a car across country from San Francisco to New York. It took them 63 days. Today you can fly cross country in a matter of hours while using wireless Internet.

12. There was no entertainment available to the average family in 1870, except for a few traveling musicians or circus performers or in-home board or card games. Today our entertainment options are almost unlimited.

13. Close to 20% of males born in the U.S. died before their first birthday in the year 1900. Today the mortality rate doesn’t reach that high until you get to age 62.

14. More than 37% of deaths in 1900 were caused by infectious diseases. That number dropped to less than 5% by 1955 and just 2% by 2009.

15. Retirement is still is a relatively new concept. In the past most people simply worked until they died. In the year 1870, for those who lived past age 65, the labor force participation ratio for males was close to 90%. Today it’s less than 20%.

16. The average American now retires at age 62. One hundred years ago, the average American died at age 51.

17. The percentage of the population living past their 65th birthday was only 34% in 1870 but jumped to 56% by 1940 and 77% by 2000.

18. Up until the 1870s, people typically worked 11-12 hour days. By 1900, the typical worker put in 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. It wasn’t until 1940 that it came down to the standard 40-hour, 5-day workweek. And these weren’t office jobs sitting behind a desk. The conditions for most workers were terrible and hazardous to their health.

19. Time spent on laundry fell from 11.5 hours a week in 1920 to 1.5 hours in 2014 (although I have twins so my family brings up the average on this one).

20. By the late-1600s, one-third of the children born in the richest parts of the world died before their 5th birthday. Today, this sad fate befalls just 6% of the children in the poorest parts of the world.

21. The proportion of people killed annually in wars is less than a quarter of what it was in the 1980s, one-seventh of what it was in the early 1970s, one-eighteenth of what it was in the early 1950s, and a 0.5% of what it was during World War II.

22. Early in the 19th century, 12% of the world could read and write. Today it’s 83%.

23. Americans are half as likely to be murdered as they were two dozen years ago.

24. The world’s nuclear stockpiles have been reduced by 85% since the Cold War.

25. Over the course of the 20th century, Americans became 96% less likely to be killed in a car accident and 95% less likely to be killed on the job.

26. The world has gotten richer (as measured by Gross World Product) in 51 of the last 55 years.

27. In 1929 Americans spent more than 60% of their disposable income on necessities; by 2016 that had fallen to a third.

28. Since 1960, the fraction of a person’s life taken up by work has fallen by 25% through a combination of shorter workweeks, more paid time off, and longer retirements.

29. The high school graduation rate was just 9% in 1910. It jumped to 52% by 1940 and 83% today. 

30. Every single country in the world today has a lower infant or child mortality rate than it had in 1950.

31. A British baby who had survived their first year of life would have lived to 47 in 1845, 57 in 1905, 72 in 1955, and 81 in 2011. A 30-year-old could look forward to another 33 years of life in 1845, another 36 in 1905, another 43 in 1955, and another 52 in 2011.

32. Between 2000 and 2015, the number of deaths from malaria (which in the past killed half the people who had ever lived) fell by 60%.

33. The control of infectious disease since 1990 has saved the lives of more than a 100 million children.

34. Between 1961 and 2009 the amount of land used to grow food increased by 12%, but the amount of food that was grown increased by 300%.

35. 1,000 years after Jesus walked the earth the world was barely any richer. It took 500 years for income to double from there. Then between 1820 and 1900, the world’s income tripled. It tripled again in a little more than 50 years. It took only 25 years for it to triple again, and another 33 years to triple yet again.

36. Since 1995, 30 of the world’s 109 developing countries have seen economic growth rates that amount to a doubling of income every 18 years. Another 40 countries have had rates that would double income every 35 years, which is comparable to the historical growth rate of the U.S.

37. The number of people in extreme poverty has fallen by an average of 137k people every day for the past 25 years.

38. Two centuries ago the life expectancy in The Netherlands, the richest country in the world at the time, was just 40, and in no country was it above 45. Today, life expectancy in the poorest country in the world is 54. There are no countries where life expectancy is below 45.

39. When poverty is defined in terms of what people consume rather than what they earn, the American poverty rate has declined by 90% since 1960, from 30% of the population to just 3%.

40. There are 180,000 people walking around today who would have been murdered just in the last year if the global homicide rate had remained at the same level from a dozen years ago.

41. Between 1950 and 2009, the rate of death in traffic accidents fell six-fold.

42. In 1970 the chance that an airline passenger would die in a plane crash was less than 5 in a million; by 2015 that small risk had fallen a hundredfold.

43. In the 1990s, the U.S. saw its homicide rate plunge by half in just 9 years. In New York City, it dropped 75% in the same time.

44. There has been a 37-fold decline since the turn of the 20th century in the chance that an American will be killed by a bolt of lightning.

45. Roughly half of the adults in the world own a smartphone.

46. Just 7% of the world’s population lived in a free or relatively free society in 1850. Today that number is closer to two-thirds.

47. The literacy rate from the 17th to 19th century was just one-eighth of the global population. From that point on the world’s literacy rate doubled in the next century and quadrupled in the century after that, so now 83% of the world is literate.

48. In 1820, more than 80% of the world was unschooled. It’s estimated that by the end of the century this number will be close to zero.

49. In 1920, just 28% of American teenagers ages 14-17 were in high school. The latest stats show over 80% graduated high school, of whom 70% went on to college.

50. In 1940, less than 5% of Americans held a bachelor’s degree. By 2015, it was up to one-third.

Of course, if dumbfuck cowardly, traitorous, treasonous, unpatriotic and exceedingly retarded (morally, emotionally, intellectually, physically, spiritually and sexually) Trumpie wins...things will deteriorate.

Anyway, overall, cheer the hell up and try to enjoy life.

The End.  :) 

Bitches Be Crazy! :)

 

Guys have been having a rough time lately. Attacked from all quarters, all sides. Blamed for just about everything, sometimes deserved, often not. We're going through this weird phase in the US (and probably most of the West) where women are blaming men for everything, especially straight men, and mostly straight white men. Well, I am here to defend said men as...I happen to like a few of them, am related to some of them, have brothers, father, uncles, male cousins, had grandfathers, and laying somewhere around my house...I got myself one of them...submissive cuckold husbands.

So, marriage and divorce. Historically men have been blamed for the collapse of a marital union, the wife was viewed as a victim, he would pay alimony, palimony, move out, was crucified by society as being the "cause" of the end of the relationship...and life went on....for her, not so great for him.

However...the last few years, it has come to light that lesbians who marry, have a higher than average rate of divorce. As in a *lot* fucking higher. 

 *According to data from the Office for National Statistics, in 2019, 56% of same-sex marriages were between women. However, the divorce rate for lesbians was much higher, with 72% of same-sex divorces in 2019 coming from lesbian couples, about 3 times higher than gay male couples. The lesbian divorce rate was 78% in 2016, 74% in 2017 and 75% in 2018.* 

*Same-sex marriages are on the rise, and so are same-sex divorces, particularly lesbian divorces. Same-sex divorces rose 40.4% from 2019 to 2020, to 1,154, and the vast majority, 71.3%, were lesbian divorces, according to an in-depth study from England and Wales.*

So, how are the "lezzies" going to blame this on...men?

How/why is it that lesbians are divorcing at a rate 3 times higher than gay men? 

According to all stats, between 70% and 80% of all heterosexual marriages that fall apart, the divorce was inititated by...the woman.

One could posit that...a vast majority of women are...perpetual malcontents, never happy, straight, bi, gay, lesbian, no matter...and can not even stand to be married...to each other. 

So, we now have this *movement* known as the Passport Bros, where youngish guys with a decent income are going overseas, to...find a wife. They're increasingly desiring...nothing to do with "Western women". This seems to be pissing women off...big time. Social media, TikTok, YouTube, are all full of videos of women whining, bitching and complaining about how...they can't find a "real man" to date or marry. Let's just double check that okay? Women with...fake eyebrows, fake eyelashes, fake lips (fillers), fake tits, fake ass (BBL), fake teeth, fake tan, fake hair, fake nails, everything is lifted, pumped, tucked, altered, covered, masked, taped up, tied down, strapped on...are seeking a *real* man, lol.

Same social media depicts about a gazillion women saying "I Don't Need No Man!!". 

They contend they are an independent woman, make their own money (many from OnlyFans, where guys they'd never give the time of day to pay them money for posing nude, while talking about being "empowered") and how they only want *The Sixes* (6 foot tall, 6 figure income, at least 6 inches, with 6-pack abs) while many of them themselves are...under or unemployed, broke, obese, with 5 kids from 4 different fathers, no car, no ambition, but a *huge* social media following, where lonely guys, horny guys, simps...are and have been telling them for years they are a *10* on the looks scale. Plus, other women lying to them, again, being a *10* , lying to each other, lying to themselves...but once they step out into the real world, off the phone screen and away from the photo/video filters that make them look better, when reality hits them in the face, they are *not* a 10, but 3.7 or a 5. Then they're pissed, tell any guy that rates them as such that he's either ugly, gay, or has a small dick, lol. 

They state they despise "toxic males" with their masculine energy, until they want/need a big strong fireman to save their lives, or a cop, a mechanic, plumber, iron worker, rancher, farmer...you know, those "toxic males" that built roads, homes, cities, and pretty much all of society. Suddenly that "toxic" energy is welcome...and how many of those same women wanting "equality" want laws passed that would require *all* women upon turning 18 years of age to have to register for the draft? None, pretty much none. Is this equality? Nope. Are they really independent? Nope. Do they really hate these sort of men? Nope. Why do I say that? Because most of them are out every night, at the clubs and bars, trying to find one to...date/fuck/marry.  :) 

So, as is known, I on occasion might "mess" around with another woman here and there, sort of "LezLite", usually dominate them, "Smack the Bitch Up!", just play around and whatever, and totally enjoy it, and them...but I would never, could never, have never...been in any sort of long term relationship with one as...#BitchesBeCrazy.  

And now, I will sit back and wait for the hate mail to flood in, lol. And, I'm not spellchecking this post either as....I just decided that tonight...I don't give a fuck. Hope everyone is enjoying their evening and yes, the majority of women out there are fantastic. I am partly just messing around here, but there is some truth to this post. There are just enough bitchy bitches bitching...and making us all look bad. They should think about what they're saying before saying it, crazy ass bitches. Or, I might have to spank and slap a few around...just for attitude adjustment purposes, you understand. I mean, it's not like I enjoy doing it, or anything. :) 

Okay...Enough Internet For Today. :)

Meet "Aitana López".

 An agency created an AI model who earns up to $11,000 a month because it was tired of influencers 'who have egos'. 

So, AI. Supposedly this could be a good thing. Thus far...I'm not so sure. Part of the Hollywood SAG strike was over studios wanting to pay actors for one day, to "map" their face, body and voice, then have the ability to create movies based on that, in perpetuity, without having to pay the actors...ever again. 

There are now a plethora of news articles about teen boys taking photos of teen girls in school, then using AI type editing stuff to make fake nudes of her...without her knowledge, nor consent, passing them around, and she's not even aware of it, initially. 

Using an AI model to avoid "influencers" egos and attitudes, I get. Side note on that, I have never, and will never, be "influenced" by some stupid-ass "influencer" on Tik-Tok, YouTube, Instagram, or even mainstream regular TV for that matter...ever. I totally ignore all TV commercials, mute them, same with YouTube, billboards, ads in magazines, fliers in the mail, just ignore them outright, always have. 

I saw an article where non-fiction writers are suing AI companies for plagiarism. The literary, music, TV, porn, advertising, architecture and other industries are having every single thing they ever created, "sucked up", swiped, stolen, ripped off, by these companies (of which Facebook, Microsoft, Google etc are included). The companies intend on scanning the Internet and harvesting everything, for their use, without proper credit, or compensation....the greedy unethical fucks. The lawsuits are firing up, globally. This will be a massive, enormous legal battle, which will go on for years, decades, maybe forever. 

I know people talk about applications for medical technology, the ability to diagnose disease, figure out treatments and things like that, which would be great. But there's also the aspect of using the same technology to make fake photos and video, for crimes, blackmail, fake political ads, to make people appear as if they're confessing to crimes (which they never did, and don't even know the video was made) and examples of that nature, which is going to create a clusterfuck for courts, juries, anything criminal related, and of course for voters seeing fake ads depicting competitors in a negative light. 

What is my point about this? Nothing really, just babbling and rambling.  :)

Legal deadline prompts a slew of celebrity sexual assault lawsuits. 

Sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, all needs to be taken seriously, very seriously. What's aggravating about this article and this agenda...is that it is *not* taking the aforementioned...seriously.

This is mostly a last moment money grab by a bunch of pissed off jilted girlfriends, lovers, ex-wives and whatever. Look, I get some people (mostly women, but sometimes men) are violated, traumatized, need time to process and deal with it before wanting to take legal action. But there has to be a limit. You can't pop up 30, 40, 50 or more years later accusing someone of something, with no evidence, no possible way to provide evidence, just to shake them down for some money. Saying this upsets a lot of women. They rant about the "sisterhood" and not sticking together. Fuck that. 

I always point out to someone that says something like that to "personalize" it. Meaning, don't think about some random rich guy that might pay out some money, maybe even a few million, the whole "Go get your money girlfriend" thing. Visualize the accused is your younger brother, father, cousin, son, or husband. Visualize a gold digger comes out of the woodwork, claiming that said person, 47 years ago, groped them, grabbed them, had sex with them, it's now a "She said---He Said" thing, no DNA, no witnesses, no evidence...but write me a big ass check and I'll drop the charges...no way.  

Remember the Johnny Depp - Amber Heard trial? She accused him of XYZ, turns out *she* was guilty of XYZ, plus ABC, and LMNOP, vile disgusting acts, plus violence, against him. Newsflash...some women lie. People lie. Some human beings...lie. Regardless of sex or gender...some people lie. Just because it's a woman making the accusation does *not* mean it's true. I detest the "Woman as Professional Victim" mentality so prevalant in our society, it's a disservice to women, and to *true* victims of crime, it's not about empowering women, it's not right, it's not fair, it's not just, it needs to stop and be stopped. 

So, in this case, these "victims" were not much bothered by whatever effrontery they claim, for decades, in some cases nearly half a century, until a few days before the time-frame to file lawsuits expires, then suddenly the courts are flooded, a vertitable tsunami type flood, with lawsuits...not with the expectation of a trail, a jury, or anyone going to jail, but with the hope and intent of....a massive check to them...and their snake-in-the-grass shady lawyers. Fuck that, fuck them, they should fuck off, all of them.

Okay, I will now shut up, go make some tea, and read a book...or something.  :)

Stuff...

Thinking about a new look for myself.

Might go retro. Any opinions? Lol.  :) 

Gotta admire his tenacious nature and optimism.  :)

I'm with her.  :)

This couple makes me laugh and laugh. 

Just hit the arrow to the right of their video for more short clips of them...should work, I think. They're all like 30 to 40 second clips or so. 

Unexpected kindness. 

Sexual Social Stuff. :)

Hikikomori trend now in the United States, among young men. 

Hikikomori: A form of severe social withdrawal, called hikikomori, has been frequently described in Japan and is characterized by adolescents and young adults who become recluses in their parents' homes, unable to work or go to school for months or years.

Celibacy syndrome (Japanese: セックスしない症候群, sekkusu shinai shōkōgun) is a media hypothesis proposing that a growing number of Japanese adults have lost interest in sexual activity and have also lost interest in romantic love, dating and marriage.

Americans aren't having sex, but the reasons why are complicated.

Hypergamy: the action of marrying or forming a sexual relationship with a person of a superior sociological or educational background.

On the Bumble dating app, 90% of women pursue 6% of men, in terms of height. This was measured by height-filtered searches of American women within the app.

Here's the thing, social media has lied to women for a decade or so. Pretty much any woman can be on social media and get DM's from at least a few guys, from somewhere in the world, and others get a gazillion offers and DM's per day. So, after a time, they think all guys want them, they have this distorted view of themselves, they all think they're "10's" on a 1 to 10 scale (until they ask someone in real life and get rated a 4.2...and then get pissed). The vast majority of men get...no DM's, pretty much ever. Back to the hypergamy aspect, most studies show that about 90% of women are interacting with roughly 10% of guys. Meaning, roughly 10% of the more "desirable" guys, are dating/banging/fucking the majority of women, and the remaining 90% of guys have...blue balls. 

It has to be pointed out however, that the majority of these youngish women, mostly in their 20s and early 30's, are going to hit that nesting and/or biological clock period, and then find out that men don't want to marry someone with a "body count" of 300 other guys, that did porn, had an OnlyFans account, has 4 kids from 3 or 4 "baby daddies", no education, a ton of bills, no skills, out of shape and overweight, nothing to bring to the table, and Holy Fuck, the man hating, misandry bitching and complaning is going to really elevate. Plus, there is a massive increase in what they call "Passport Bros" (men going to other countries to find a non-toxic more traditional woman to marry) which is pissing American and Western women off, at the same time that many of the "feminists" are questioning the whole working 8 to 12 hours a day, no time for anything, still being broke, for 50 years, wondering how that feminist "achievement" benefited or empowered women and...fuck me, there could well be a drastic decrease in the amount of babies being born, weddings, women wanting to work outside of the home, and all those sorts of related social issues. 

The "6's". 

These poor clueless and delusional women, all want what I call the "6's". Meaning guys that are at least 6' tall, make 6 figures, have 6 pack abs, and at least 6 inches. Which means they're totally insane. That means they have like a...0.67% chance of finding that guy. Average height for males is about 5'9", average income is, what...$30k? Most people in America are out of shape so that 6 pack, not happening. Average penis size is 5.5 inches. The level of disappointment forthcoming, soon, for 10s of millions of American women is going to be tragic, stunning, depressing for them, the motherloade of all bitchslaps. And for the most part, social media, the lies of the PC ego boosting regular media, is responsible for this. Plus, a lack of accountability and reason on the part of women in general. Seriously, find a nice, average, loyal, intelligent, hard working and stable guy, love him, marry him, treat him right, and enjoy your life together. Stop living in this fake ass world that is presented to you in ads, magazines, TV, online and in rock and rap vidoes...that is not reality.

Digitally altered pride parade photo fuels anti-LGBTQ rhetoric.

An image spreading across platforms purports to show an LGBTQ pride event participant wearing a T-shirt that says "trans kids are sexy." But the photo has been digitally altered; the original shows the person in plain white at a November 2021 parade in California, and the supposed T-shirt about transgender children is a fake that exploits a child's image.

Do research people. In the era of PhotoShop, AI, ChatGPT, Deepfake video and so on...take nothing at face value and double check, triple check, double verify anything of importance. 

New gender-swapping Snapchat filter is being used to catfish men on Tinder.

Hell no.

There's rarely a point to...any of my blog posts.  :) 

Texas Republicans: The Stupidest Fucks of all Stupid Fucks. :)

Actually, my title would be applicable to most Republicans...not only those that reside in Texas. Yeah, I know this will offend some Republicans...so stop electing these pillocks. Don't hate the messenger because you don't like the message. It is they who are trying to take away your right to view porn, to read books, to have gay sex and reproductive rights. They want to bring back sodomy laws, that want to turn the state and the USA into their version of an authoritarian Christian Taliban. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, about the current GOP that is small government or anything else that the GOP represented, or claimed to represent, in the 1900's, or prior to the G.W. Bush era. They are demanding to control what happens in your schoolroom, courtroom, doctor office, library and bedroom. And you, the GOP voter...are letting them. Which makes you, the GOP voter that supports them...a bunch of unpatriotic cowardly fucking pussies.  :) 

Texas Bill Would Mandate Health Warnings on Adult Sites. 

One disclaimer calls porn use “potentially biologically addictive, is proven to harm human brain development, desensitized brain reward circuits, increases conditioned responses, and weakens brain function.” 

Nope, no evidence of that. As in none. Zilch. Nada. Not a single piece of peer reviewed, scientific, unbiased evidence...none. 

Another disclaimer characterizes “exposure” to adult content as being “associated with low self-esteem and body image, eating disorders, impaired brain development, and other emotional and mental illnesses.” 

Sure, there might be some of that effect. Just like from Hollywood, movies, TV, Instagram, fashion magazines, advertizers, books, diet websites, the clothing industry, YouTube, seeing other people, going outside, other people, other kids or teens, parents, relatives, basically...the world at large. 

A third disclaimer says that “pornography increases the demand for prostitution, child exploitation, and child pornography.”

Nope, the main cause of prostitution would be...poverty. For example, in the USA, federal minimum wage has been $7.25 per hour since 2009, pushing 15 years. Why? Because the very same stupid fucking conservatives that make up lies like above, have refused to raise minimum wage, yet give themselves a raise...every single year.   

As for anything to do with children, their endlessly conflating adult porn with child porn is typical as they're...morons. Maybe they're all pedophiles, so they assume others are as well, but I can assure you that adults watching porn shot by consenting adults, who enjoy watching consenting adults engaging in sex, has nothing to do with child pornography and it's a fucking insult for them to assert this. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

The claims of this being a "medical issue" is debunked by...science. I know that most conservatives hate and ignore science, because it proves most of their assertions as being fucking stupid. You know, things like global warming, trickle down economics (aka Reaganomics) anything to do with LGBTQIA people, parthenogenesis, gays in the military, human rights, immigration, pretty much, you name it. Sure, there are some in the medical establishment that are bought and sold hookers, taking money from far right advocacy groups to express their non-scientific "opinions" that porn is addictive, without acknowledging that an addictive personality is the issue, not porn. People with that personality type can be "addicted" to exercise, religion, food, drugs, cigs, alcohol, video games, reading, gambling, work...anything really. Porn in and of itself, has nothing to do with it. 

To date, the American Psychological Association (APA) has not recognized porn addiction as a “real” psychological condition. Additionally, the Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM-5), the world’s leading guide on psychological disorders, asserts that pornography, as well as sex addictions, are not psychological disorders.

Science Stopped Believing in Porn Addiction. You Should, Too.

Pornography addiction is not real according to leading psychologists. 

The "medical practitioners" that support this agenda are lying and seem to have forgotten that in their profession they are supposed to use facts to establish criteria for health related issues, not just make things up to make a few bucks. Lying about anything, does harm to people, to patients, to human beings, and is an abdication of the Hippocratic Oath. Fuck them, fuck conservatives, fuck Texas GOP, fuck DeSantis, fuck Trump, and...just fuck it. That's a lot of fucks and fucking...and the only thing/one not getting fucked around here is...me. So I am cranky as fuck...hence this rant, lol.  :) 

We Still Doing The MAGA 'Murica Covfefe Thing? :)

                            

Jury finds Trump liable for sexual abuse, awards accuser $5M.

(Italicized Text Below Found Online)

Trump didn’t lower your taxes. He didn’t get your roads and bridges fixed. He didn’t get you healthcare coverage, lower the price of your prescriptions, decrease the deficit, end the opioid crisis, revive the coal industry, make covid disappear, make Mexico pay for the wall, drain the swamp or Make America First. So when you say he “fought for you’, you mean he validated your hate. 

Trump Supported and Encouraged Sedition.

Trump dodged the draft.

1st POTUS in 28 years not to serve a 2nd term.

1st POTUS in 45 years not to release his tax returns.

1st POTUS in 89 years to lose the presidency, the house and the Senate in a single term.

1st POTUS in 102 years to allow more than a million Americans to die in a single virus outbreak.

Trump is the only person in history who essentially lost four rounds of voting: 

2016 popular vote by 3 million

2018 midterms

2020 general election

*2022 midterms

Trump single-handedly engineered the nomination of second- rate Senate candidates in eminently winnable swing states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Georgia. All of them lost, every single one of them.

Trump lost more money than any other American for multiple years in a row. 

 Business "Genius" Trump Lost More Money Than Anyone in America Between 1985-1994.

Trump Would Be Richer If He Had Just Invested His Inheritance Into The S&P 500.

Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations.

(In Trumps case, "allegations" pretty much means...facts.) 

Trumpie said during the trail that E. Jean Carrol was "not his type" ergo he would not have molested nor raped her. He also, on video, confused E Jean Carrol with Marla Maples...his former wife. Below: Trump, E. Jean Carroll, John Johnson and Ivana Trump at a 1980's party.

 E. Jean Carroll (above) and Marla Maples (below) could be twin sisters...so much for his claim that she was not his "type".

Regarding GOPs rants about the Dems promoting "socialism"...listen up you bloviating confused crankypants...every crotchety old cantankerous curmudgeonly geezer (and there are millions of them) fires up the keyboard and cranks out, what they deem, as some vastly superior polemic on social issues, postulating and pontificating within their manifesto and thinks they did a "favor" to humanity by sharing their "erudite" wisdom with the credulous masses. 

But in reality they are just regurgitating the same old paranoid nonsense that others have done. Those efforts at prophetic doom and gloom predictions has been done in the past...endlessly. And while I give a cursory glance at those rants (albeit perfunctory) and in between giggles I usually see reference to Bernie Sanders and his being a "socialist". News flash, he's a democratic socialist...and so are you. 

Examples of democratic socialism: Public roads, public schools, libraries, beaches, roads, fire and police departments, museums...a long list of which any could be privately owned (capitalist) or "state" owned (socialist/communist/autocratic ruled/Monarchy etc) but ours are owned by the "public" as in our society, within the constructs of...wait for it...brace yourself...democratic socialism.  

Learn the difference between socialism and democratic socialism. There are a myriad of ideologies within the definition of "socialism". It's just a word, it can be used in multiple ways. Smart people know this. Fox News/NewsMax/OAN News watching morons, don't.

Social Security is a "socialist" program: It's a government-run pension system that cuts out private money managers. Medicare, a single-payer, government-run health insurance program for those over 65 is also. Medicaid, for those that are disabled, kids, the VA...all are "socialist" programs. So is the military. Yes, that's right...the armed forces is not a private army...it's owned, run and paid for by tax payers...ergo a form of "socialism". 

Minimum wage, maximum hour and child labor laws that go back more than a century are "socialist" programs, in that the government intervenes in the capitalist market to require employers to meet minimum standards that might not be met in a pure, unregulated “free” market. Agricultural and energy subsidies are likewise socialist programs. There are a myriad of other examples. 

From my perspective, being how I am, these people, mostly "dudes" just need to be more uxorious and perhaps learn a bit more. And they should...go outside, look up at the beautiful sky, see the birds, smell a flower, watch a cloud transform itself as it moves through the sky. Revel in the majestic beauty that is our planet and stop being so depressive about the future. Its going to be fantastic. 

In conclusion...fuck Trump...and socially speaking, in a both social and anti-social and socialistic way...I'm not wearing pants. :)
