Complaint Wednesday

Image
 Maybe I should make a once a week recurring thread so we can all complain about what is irking us. The SOTU speech really irked me. The dumb reactions of the Dems irked me. We had another winter storm, and though SNOWFLAKES I generally like, fuck the cold already. I am irked by the demise of Disqus: AI says: Yes, there are strong indications that Disqus is losing participation, popularity, and trust as a primary commenting platform, although it remains a major, widely-used service. The decline is driven by user and publisher frustrations regarding, among other things, ad-heavy interfaces, privacy concerns, and restrictive, sometimes faulty, moderation.   Here is a breakdown of why participation in the Disqus ecosystem is waning: User and Publisher Frustration:  Critics frequently cite that the platform has become too ad-heavy, and for publishers, removing these ads often requires a costly subscription, making it less attractive to smaller creators.

Inventions And Innovations We Can Do Without.

Image
  Things that sound great, but really aren’t.   For Bunny, it is flying cars.  We have enough trouble with morons on the road, now, imagine them in three dimensions.  Nowhere would be safe. What inventions and innovations would you rather not go anywhere? J. P. Bunny

When a hockey game can NOT just be a hockey game

Image
  Trudeau trolls Trump after Canada bests USA at hockey "You can't take our country — and you can't take our game," Trudeau wrote on X. https://abcnews.com/Politics/trudeau-trolls-trump-after-canada-bests-usa-hockey/story?id=119039286 So, of course, the Trump White House had to do one better: This is what the world has devolved into.

Embracing Change

Image
  Life isn’t static.  Things change all the time.  How do you deal with it?  Do you jump in and embrace what the newness has to offer?  Act with caution?  Need to be dragged kicking and screaming? J. P. Bunny

Is It Really A World Record?

Image
  This is about the Olympic records that depend on speed.  Cheers, tears, and celebrations when someone beats the world record by a few hundredths of a second.  This is so minuscule as to be nonexistent.  We have all tried to count to ten within one second.  A speedy slur, but doable.   Now, count to one hundred in one second.   Nope.  Without specialized machines and ultra fast timepieces, no one would know. Technically, the person was faster, but does it really count?  If you wash and wax your car before heading out on the highway, you will get better gas mileage.  But, it is so infinitesimal, it would take decades to notice.  Same with these Olympic records.   Are these really records breakers?  Should people take pride in winning something that needs high tech to show it?    Should tenths of a second be the limit for these records?  Are these new world records really worthy of the title?

Toys

  Toys.  Did you have a favourite?  Did you take good care of your toys, or did you see how much punishment they could take?  Do you still have any of your old toys?  Have some new ones?  Bunny loved his Matchbox cars and Erector Set. J. P. Bunny

I went to work today

Image
 And so.....? As you all know by now, I am a school crossing guard, and this being a Monday, I got up this morning, got dressed for work, and went to my assigned spot, and stood there like a fool. You see, here in Canada, today is a thing called Family Day, a holiday. People don't go to work. Most of 'em anyways don't. Especially kids don't go to school. How long before I figured it out? Where I cross, I am next to the school parking lot. No cars. No teachers showing up. No kids being dropped off. THEN it hit me. Sheesh!!!
