A Thought Experiment
Now that I’m retired, I actually had the time to put the finishing touches on my HTML editor. I’ve “only” been working on it for a few years. And I decided it was time to put it to the the test. So this post is written entirely with “Al’s Text Editor.” Hopefully I won’t find too many bugs along the way.
And The Debate Continues
Another Customer Service Nightmare
I was too lazy to cook last night so I ordered from Panda Express via DoorDash. A half hour later the dasher called and said Panda wasn’t fixing any more steamed rice that evening. I can’t eat fried rice so I canceled the order and opened a can of soup. An email informed me that I would be refunded. Continue reading
Regarding Punishment and Morality
Let’s pretend for a moment that the Christian god is real. Consider this:
> Yahweh drowned every air-breathing life on Earth except those floating in an impossible wooden box.
> He fire-bombed Sodom and Gomorrah.
> He murdered countless children during the so-called Passover.
> He sent a bear to maul a group of children for picking on a bald guy.
> He favors chattel slavery and instructed the Jews in how to buy and sell them.
> He unleashed Joshua’s armies against the Canaanites, murdering the men and enslaving the women and children.
> And… He’ll send you to an eternity in Hell just for not believing He’s real. Continue reading
The Gulf Of WTF
OK let me preface this by saying I am not a Trump hater, and neither am I a mindless MAGA person. I’m an American. I care about my country and I want what logic and common sense dictate is best for her. That said…Trump is doing some good things. I like the idea of DOGE pointing out those who waste our money. I like the fact that he’s speaking up and working to advance our interests abroad. I’m proud of his work to push for peace in Israel and Ukraine. I love his tough, no-BS policies concerning our southern border. Continue reading
No, God Didn’t Do It
A lot of Christians are babbling on social media that the California fires and the extreme winter weather are a part of God’s punishment for various offenses against God. People, fire happens. Weather happens. Some of the fires are suspected arson attacks. One is believed to be the result of an Edison powerline getting knocked down by the Santa Ana winds. These winds create extreme hot and dry conditions and as such raise the fire hazards dramatically. The extreme cold on the way is not a unique event.Continue reading
The Difference Between Something And Nothing
Regarding the fires in California…Let’s compare the difference between doing something and doing nothing. In this case, “nothing” means hunkering down and praying to your sky daddy instead of actually helping those in need. “Nothing” means saying a lot of flowery words that are not backed by any action. Continue reading
Has Donald Lost His Mind?
What the hell is wrong with Donald Trump? He has stated that he wants to…
- Use economic force to annex Canada as our 51st state
- Purchase or otherwise take over Greenland
- Reclaim control of the Panama Canal
- Rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”
Electile Dysfunction 2024
You know it’s coming. Disputed votes, contested elections, allegations of fraud, illegal aliens voting, felons voting, dead people voting, etc etc. It’s unavoidable. It’s just how America does things nowadays. Personally I believe it’s more important to consider what we’ll get depending upon who wins the election.
