  • Say what you will about Newsom, he’s a Democrat striking back by talking plainly. Maybe some Democrats will find their fucking unused spines can be used to stand up.

    LOL, nah. Anyone of liberal bent is determined to strike the governor down for his sins. “Not good enough!”, they scream as they’re hauled off to the trains, unarmed, as they wished to be. Good luck you fucking pansies! (Is “pansy” still politically correct? Or did I offend .0235% of the population?)


  • Fucking weird, isn’t it? Another rant would be about where is all the advertising money coming from?! Imagining being a buyer, I’d have to wonder how well my spend would be profiting.

    A couple of decades ago I played around with being a salesman. Top advice was to try this ad, try that ad, compare results. Surely these people are finding revenue from spending on these ads? It just seems impossible to me that there’s profit for all of these cockroaches.




  • I’m old, so many may not relate. I remember when the big selling point of this newfangled “cable TV” thing was zero ads. Can you imagine that?

    Yeah, I have Prime for the savings on shipping. Got the Kodi addon for watching Prime, never used it except to watch The Expanse a few years ago. Would have been fucking enraged if I had seen ads cut into that. Fuck am I paying for?!









  • Had a truly weird problem with Namecheap, kinda thing one would think was surely me being stupid. Knew I’d have to fight through 3 levels of tech support to even get heard. Don’t remember the issue, but it was clearly on their backend, and how the hell you gonna get a db guy to look?!

    It late evening, but Namecheap has text support! (Unlike GoDaddy and others.) Svetlana comes on the chat. I explained the issue as clearly as I could, waited for the inevitable arguments. She was quiet for a minute, “OK. I understand. Please wait.”

    10 minutes later, it’s FIXED! No further discussion, no further questions, just DONE. Amazing tech support experience.
