The stupid… It burns.

I Can Finally Say It

by

I received a phone call this evening from work notifying me of the death of a co-worker, not someone that I work closely with but did see in passing throughout each week. She was quite the Karen, and she’s dead now from COVID. She and her husband are/were antivax, antimask and believed all their problems could be solved by yelling at people they didn’t like on social media and in person! My memories of her consist mainly of bitching about people on Facebook who told her husband to put a mask on and threatening to run them out of town. She left behind young children, and a husband who probably won’t learn from this experience like many of the others I read throughout the internet these days.

May these morons embrace their easily preventable rapture. It sounds heartless, but I’m so fucking sick and tired of people like her clogging up the hospitals in the name of  “medical freedom”. I read about her ilk everyday over at r/HermanCainAward, and it amazes and saddens me how so many of these people are similar from beliefs to appearances all the way down to behaviour and atrocious grammar and spelling. I could go on, but I’m sure I’ll be writing up another one of these in the future. I know a lot of people who are firmly on the Antivax/Jesus is all the protection I need train, and they’re more than willing to throw themselves into a situation that could easily be prevented, but y’know… Murica.

This Post Is Brought To You By The Existence Of Morons

by

I’ve stumbled upon a blog recently called sorryantivaxxer, and they record the deaths of antivaxxers and showcase their online history of spreading antivax memes. Another one that’s also being shared is r/HermanCainAward, where it’s more of the same (along with a couple of ironic memes). These are the kind of people I have to work for and alongside everyday. One of my co-workers is currently dealing with long COVID, and just a few months ago he was touting about how it’s fake, and even if it is real it won’t be any different than the flu. Now he can’t even so much as stand or walk for very long. Even now he still won’t get vaccinated, and his health was never even that great before COVID. At this point I’m not even enforcing the mask policy at work; If these Y’alliban asshats want to Darwin themselves out of existence, then by all means…

I deal with these types of people on a daily basis, and having them lessen their own numbers might make the lives of everyone else a hell of a lot better. If I had any fucks left to give they’ve long since evaporated.

For The Cost Of Three Gaming Laptops You COULD Buy A Used iPhone with Fortnite

by

In the wake of Fortnite being taken off of Apple’s storefront (and Creepy Uncle Google’s) there seems to be opportunists that want to fix that problem… by selling used iPhones that still happen to have the app installed for thousands of dollars more than what said phone itself is actually worth?

It’s bad enough if you buy a top-of-the-line used iPhone 11 Pro for more than what a Apple charges for a brand-new iPhone; it’s worse when you’re spending that kind of stupid money—again, thousands of dollars—on something like a used iPhone XR or iPhone 8 Plus. There’s a sucker born every minute, and in a perfect world eBay would have some kind of “common sense” test they would have to first pass in order to use the service.

I really shouldn’t be surprised about people wanting to buy used phones just so they can have the Fortnite app (after all toilet paper is still a currency in some places)… from the perspective of people that have more money than sense, and the technologically impaired that don’t understand how apps work, as the article goes on to make valid points that people should not be this stupid to ignore, but will anyway because of how fucked up we are as a people:

Even in a best-case scenario, you won’t be able to play the latest version of the game with any seasonal updates Epic Games throws into the mix. I have no idea how long you’ll be able to keep on playing an older version of Fortnite, but odds are good that even this window will eventually close.

Most Apps and programs require frequent updates (content, hats, security patches, etc) and if Fortnite’s servers are all run by Epic, then a version update will make that several thousand dollar black market iPhone as nothing more than a lesson that a fool and their money are soon parted. I mean just think… for one of those Black market iPhones you could have a few of these delicious rainbow gaming machines occupying your humble abode:

Or buy one, add drives to all four drive bays, and still have money left over to buy an entire warehouse of poptarts.

Apocalyptic Blogging

by

Over the last few weeks I’ve been nothing but tired. Too tired to write, as I feel like I would have written something that was nothing but angry froth. If I’m going to angrily froth I need to sort out what I’m frothing about. From what I’ve seen most people who get upset tend to point their fingers at the one thing they think is causing said problem, when often there are multiple things at hand that can inevitably lead to what caused said problem.. Most people don’t want to understand why things happen, they just want them to go away… problem is in order to solve a problem you need to understand it, and when you have a bunch of pig ignorant fucks who don’t want to understand anything that presents one hell of a hurdle that even the dummy thiccest of thighs will have issues jumping over.

I’ve been watching people buy toilet paper in masses, why? The US is #2 in the world for TP manufacturing… oddly fitting given we are a big #2 to the world, and I’m sure there are quite a few people out there that would like to wipe us away with TP in these current times, so why is everyone panicking? I’ve even pointed this out to people and they use that just as an excuse to say “Cool! I can go buy another pack tomorrow! and the next day!”. As if that wasn’t pathetic enough we’ve also had people stealing it from each other; a friend of mine who is basically like a sweet grandma had a pack she purchased stolen from her shopping cart by someone in their mid to early thirties. Or worse, we’ve also had people bringing concealed guns to make sure no one steals their toilet paper. Damn… imagine someone making an attempt to steal someone’s toilet paper just to end up not only being shot by the owner, but the owner potentially hitting someone else if trying to aim at them. Day in and day out its like Black Friday for toilet paper, fucking toilet paper! What is wrong with people!?!

Why do people act like this? I’ve been asked this quite a bit as of late, and sadly this can’t be answered without people taking offense, fortunately this is my blog and frankly I don’t give a shit what any of you lot think. Generally, most people are inherently selfish; there are some exceptions to the rule but by and large for the most part, people are just plain selfish and can’t think past their own nose. I’ve been listening to people at work who don’t give a fuck if people die from COVID 19, saying things like “everyone has to go at some point” which I dare them to say 30 or 40 years down the line when their ass falls into a more vulnerable age group, assuming they don’t already have some underlying issue they haven’t discovered yet. As the numbers increase this isn’t just targeting old people and infants, but people with compromised immune systems and underlying medical issues they may or may not know about. Such as this guy who died from COVID19 after also finding out he had leukemia, or this case in the UK where a woman died with no underlying conditions, and now we have confirmation that tigers can get it too; meaning cats (and possibly other pets too such as dogs) are in danger as well. It isn’t everyday that you see a virus transfer itself from a human to an animal. :morty: Though I’m waiting for someone to come along with some manufactured excuse.

Another thing we don’t like admitting to is that we are stupid people, plain and simple. We praise stupidity, we encourage stupidity, we are represented by stupidity, we wear our stupidity as a retarded gold starred badge of honor and I’m rather certain we have contests to see who can out-stupid who. People are fighting over toilet paper because most places don’t even try to discourage it. As long as they make money what are a few bruises or broken ribs? Oh, and if you yell loudly and rudely enough after not getting what you want you’ll also be rewarded with gift cards and other essential items that are popular, and could have gone to someone else who actually would have deserved it.

People (and the people who are supposed to be leading) should be taking this shit more seriously… The people who don’t, or refuse to believe that its real deserve whatever happens to them. I hate saying that as that means innocent people will die because of this, but innocent people are already dying, and if people are going to refuse to take initiative or believe this could kill them they are either too stupid to exist or are waiting for a lesson in how their respiratory system works. I’ve had a relative go through something similar to COVID 19 (if not the virus itself) where they had issues breathing for several days, and had it not been for their inhaler they would have gone to ER… the only thing preventing them from going to the hospital in the first place was their shitty insurance. I doubt I’ll get it, but on the off chance that I did I wouldn’t be able to afford to survive it. This situation is really fucked up.

I could go on, but I’m sure there will be more fodder and commentary as the beatings ensue. Plus this post is already past the point of the average attention span. :zorak:

This is probably the worst deportation story I’ve read so far

by

Ohhh the irony.

A Syrian family living in Allentown, Pennsylvania just watched their relatives get deported right in front of them by the administration they voted for.

Dr. Ghassan Assali and his wife, Sarmad, are originally from Syria but have been in the United States since the Clinton administration. Dr. Assali earned his degree from New York University and has a dentistry practice in Pennsylvania. Sarmad’s two brothers, their wives, and their two children have been trying to flee Syria since 2003, and were finally approved for residency in the United States in December of 2016.

I can only imagine the anguish that followed, over a decade of wanting to come to the US, to get out of Syria, only to be sent back thanks to the Executive Order signed by the very president your family voted for…

Assali said her vote for Donald Trump was done out of a desire to see secure borders, though she didn’t expect one of her candidate’s chief campaign promises to be applied to her relatives, who are all Orthodox Christians with green cards. Even though White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus recently stated that Trump’s order wouldn’t apply to green card holders, Assali’s relatives were nonetheless forced to board the next flight to Syria despite waiting over a decade to be with their family in the United States.

Oh, but he’s fulfilling your wish! For anyone who’s a scared white trash asshat. Your family members simply didn’t meet the status quo…

“I understand he wants to make America safe,” Assali said. “We’re all on with this. I definitely want to be in a safe place. But people need us and we need to be there for them.

Not according to the racists you voted for…

Ghassan Assali compared the U.S. government under the president he voted for to the Islamic State, expressing disappointment that the country he calls home now issues religious purity tests to immigrants,

“America is not America,” Dr. Assali said. “Like ISIS now, they ask, ‘Are you Christian? What do you believe?’ And if they are not saying what they believe, they kick you out and they cut your head off. So America, same thing. They ask you are you Muslim? You’ve got to change your religion. Thank you.”

Welcome to “Trump’s America!” The easiest way to be accepted is to just pretend you’re a Christian, you know… Like most republicans.

One of those deported was the mother of 21-year-old Tarwak Assali, who came to the United States three years ago.

“I was one hour away from hugging her,” he said. “Seeing her.”

As a consolation prize you did vote for the winning president… Hooray?

The timing of the Assali relatives being deported back to Syria couldn’t have been worse. Only six hours after they boarded a flight to Damascus, Syria through Doha, Qatar, federal judge Ann Donnelly issued an injunction on the order, allowing those detained by customs to be released onto U.S. soil.

Timing is everything and blah blah blah…

Don’t get me wrong, I do feel bad for the people that were deported and offer them my sympathies, at the same time though you get what you voted for. Right now I’d say they owe their family a YUGE apology for helping vote in an incompetent short fingered vulgarian.

Who’s That Pokemoron?!: Walking into rush hour traffic edition

by

Predictable. I knew after writing that Pokemon post yesterday that another stupid thing involving Pokemon Go would take place.

Autumn’s mother, Tracy Nolan, said the accident happened when her daughter had just finished playing the game and was attempting to cross the street.

Poor young Pokezombie. Of course the mother is blaming this on the game and not on lack of surroundings.

“Parents, don’t let your kids play this game because you don’t want to go through what I went through last night. I really thought I was losing my daughter,” Nolan said.

Or better yet, if your child or teen can’t keep their nose out of a phone long enough to see they’re about to walk into rush hour traffic let alone some other hazard, you should probably keep the damn phone away from them. While we’re at it how about we have a mandatory test that proves if someone is smart enough for a smartphone. 😛

Pokemon Go and the Pokemorons of the apocalypse

by

The whole Pokemon Go thing has been quite fascinating to observe even if you’re not actively playing it. People have been wandering around all over the world looking for these digital creatures and in multiple circumstances getting into trouble, sometimes through their own ignorance or by some asshole wanting to cause discord. Like this one guy who got swatted during a twitch stream in the middle of a park. It isn’t in the following video but he does go on to talk about it not long after the swatting.

Then of course in fine murican tradition you have crimes being committed:

They approached a group of six people playing the game, threatened them at gunpoint and “demanded their possessions”. One of the Pokémon Go players, however, had a concealed weapons permit, pulled out his gun and a shootout ensued.

Both the adult suspect (back) and one of the Pokémon Go players (stomach) were shot in the exchange, with both being hospitalised. Both injuries are described as being “non-life threatening”.

But I think the funniest (saddest) one I’ve read so far is the warning in Bosnia:

An agency in Bosnia is pleading with Pokemon Go players to be more aware of their environment while hunting for virtual creatures, because distracted users have been unknowingly wandering into landmine-rich areas.

There’s more and more and more stories about this type of stuff throughout the world. Definitely provides interesting reading material in a sense. I’m not anti Pokemon Go, though I’ll never play it. I just find all these side effects to be rather intriguing. Human beings will go to great lengths to perform acts of stupidity on themselves or one another.

Today’s moron brought to you by Texas Roadhouse

by

I’m not sure what it is about people who think they can say whatever the hell they want and not be held accountable for what foul words that were typed from their keyboards… Like, what compelled this person to post so openly something that anyone with half a brain would take to their manager?

Take, for example, the tale of a now-former waitress at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Colorado. Earlier this month, she vented through her since-shuttered Twitter account that “If we had a real life purge I would kill as many Mexicans as I could in one night,” followed by a hashtag expressing her apparent anger over tips.

Followed by:

For her part, the fired server has attempted to express her regret, via a statement posted on Facebook:

“I wrote hurtful, inconsiderate, insensitive and careless words and I understand the amount of people I have offended by that,” she explains. “There are no excuses for what I have done. I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, apologize to everyone for my momentary lack of judgment. I want you all to know that I do not actually feel this way.”

Or to read between the lines:

“I wrote hurtful, inconsiderate, insensitive and careless words that I thought I would get away with if it weren’t for you meddling twitter followers, and I understand the amount of people I have offended by that,” “There are no excuses for what I have done. I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, apologize to everyone for my momentary lack of judgment for not anonymously posting on 4chan. I want you all to know that I do not actually feel this way. I’m just saying this so I won’t end up a homeless racist bag of salted dicks.”

I really don’t get the whole rise in this sort of behavior. I see kids talking like this, then I see adults like her and it confirms to me that people never truly grow up mentally. It all comes down to maturity or lack thereof.

Edit: I found another stupid ass story involving people using those special carts at Wal-Mart, thought I’d give it a dishonorable mention rather than make another thread about stupid for such a short subject:

• Sept. 2014: The Michigan shoplifter who managed to get a full two miles away from the store before being caught. Her explanation for taking the scooter? She “didn’t feel like walking.”

• Aug. 2014: The New Mexico man who was sent back to prison after driving a stolen Walmart scooter to his meeting with his probation officer. 

• July 2012: The Louisiana man charged with a DUI for driving a Walmart scooter down a public street with a blood-alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit. Oh yeah, he was also towing a friend seated in a wheelchair.

• Sept. 2011: The woman in upstate New York who “borrowed” a Walmart scooter for her personal use… for 11 days. 

The stuff tumors are made of

by

I went out for a walk earlier today (wanted ingredients for some salsa) and I heard one of the neighbors across the street say this to someone: “I’ll have you know that I still own those shorts and…” then my brain shut off immediately to protect itself from a tumor. What the fuck kind of a statement is that to make?

Maybe this can be a game in it’s own right. What would you finish that statement with?
