Jobs and Speculation.

    Can I get away with one more bitching about the baby boomers?  Then again, I don't actually remember if I posted anything about them on here.  They're a pretty easy group to bitch about, so I probably have.  Either way, they've been pissing me off lately.  From what I can tell from a ten second google search, most of these people, if not all of them, are retired.  Why, then, do they assume to know everything about the current job market, as well as their current standards for looks?  From what I recall, not many jobs really care all that much outside of McDonalds not allowing beards.  Someone told me they don't allow that, anyway.  Health reason, though.  Other than that, I've seen men with hair down to their ass, graphic t-shirts, and long beards.  Granted, you can't go on facebook and spew racist shit and expect to keep your job.  Hell, even Gilbert Gottfried got fired from his job as the Aflac duck for saying something or other on twitter or some other social media website.  They hired a stand-up comedian who's known for saying offensive shit, and fired him for saying offensive shit.  Makes sense.  But, for the most part, the higher-up jobs (anything that requires a college degree) don't really care as long as you're clean.  This is all speculation, mind you, but I've seen people who look like stoners working in pretty good jobs within these fields, so I can only assume that they care more about you being easy to work with than you wearing a t-shirt with the angel of death on it while growing your hair down to your ankles.  Speculation's fun, isn't it?  It's a nice hobby of mine.

The hell?

I'm wondering something.  I'm finding that I'm getting views from random websites.  Hell, about two years ago I got one from a youtube video about GTA.  Just now I checked, and I'm getting views from a porn website.  I'm still not sure why either of these are happening.  Anyone else having this happen?  It's not annoying, it's just... weird.

I'm back!

     And good lord did I miss a shitload of opportunities to sell my soul to the media for a few extra views.  I don't remember what I've been doing during this break, to be honest.  It involved video games, I know that much.  It seems like a pretty common break reason for a lot of people, but it's been about a year and a half.  This is a bit insane.  There was a lull in the news, though, and I didn't have much to write about.  Then life hit, I guess, and I stopped writing.  Actually, I just lost internet for a while.  I'm not sure if this counts as "life hitting", but whatever.  But, new computer, new goals, new everything and so on.  If I hear something interesting in the news I'll be commenting on it.  Wait!  There was something interesting rather recently!

     Ted Nugent has been causing a pretty nice uproar in the media lately, and Bill Mahar commented on it.  Yes, the old fuck is commenting on the old fuck.  What I'm going to be commenting on, though, isn't politics.  Kind of related, but not completely.  Teddy called Obama a sub-human mongrel.  Or Mongol, I can't understand what these people are saying about him.  It was probably mongrel.  Bad pronunciation aside, everyone's accusing him of being racist because of this comment.  First off, he is.  And he probably said this primarily because Obama's black.  Well, half black.  Someone could, in fact, call Obama a sub-human mongrel and not be racist for it.  Not every insult directed at anyone with some small amount of blackness in them is because they're a shade of gray.  Saying something negative about a black person doesn't automatically mean you hate all black people, it just means that this specific black person was doing something worth commenting on.  Sometimes this is in a positive manner, but most of the time it's not.  That or we just take more note of the negative, which seems to be the general feel of this population.  I'd like to state this yet again: I'm not defending ol' Teddy.  Can't stand the old fuck.  I don't like country music much, and the guy's got scrambled eggs for brains.  I'm only defending what he says and how it doesn't automatically make someone a racist if they say something negative about a black person.

     Now let's move on to less relevant things.  I started writing a book since the last time you guys saw me.  It's a fantasy/sci-fi book, and it's up for free on wattpad.  Because advertising to an extremely small group of people always boosts page views by at least 400x the original amount.
     Another thing is that I won't be following a set schedule.  I will try to make these things at least a day apart, though.  I do have a few ideas floating around in my head right now.  I figure it's better to stretch content out than it is to stretch for content.  I don't unsubscribe from people on YouTube because they don't upload enough, I do it because their blacksmithing channel turned into a My Little Pony orgy.  Or because their content just started to suck.  Usually the second one.
     On another note of complete irrelevancy, 100 posts has just been made.  I'm a total badass.

Hardcore Parkour

Am I the only person sick of seeing ''parkour'' being thrown around any time a custom map or a game has anything involving jumping and possibly dying?  That's not parkour, that's platforming.  Last I checked there were only a few games that actually involved parkour.  There's one MMO parkour game that I know of called FreeJack, and another single-player story based game called Mirror's Edge.  I've only played those two, so I'm not sure about others, but it's fucking annoying to hear people call platforming parkour.  Parkour is getting from A to B as quickly as you can without wasting energy.  Platforming is jumping between platforms.  Period.  Fuck.  You.

Pop Punk.

To my knowledge, this is an oxymoron.  I've always thought that punk was supposed to be underground, and pop means it's popular.  That may have been stating the obvious, but I feel the need to, as we're apparently too stupid to realize that punk is functionally incapable of being pop.  Punk is supposed to be against everything mainstream, not be mainstream.  It may seem like I'm dragging this on, but fuck, that's one of the biggest oxymora I can think of.  The only one that's music related I can think of is soft rock.  Rock is supposed to be hard, that's why they called it rock in the first place.  Metal is supposed to be a harder form of rock, as it is in a real-world context.  Hard rock and soft rock don't exist.  There is Rock, there is Metal, and there's pussy music.  Most of you people listen to the latter of that group.

Adult Language

Over the years I've noticed that there are words that are considered adult language.  Now I'm curious as to why they're considered to be for adults when we condemn those adults who use them.  If adults can't use them since they'd be considered immature if they did, why shouldn't children be able to use them?  Aren't children known for being immature?  If so, then why can't they use language made for immature adults?  I'm confused on this one.  I mean, I would be considered immature if I said fuck every now and again, but I'd be punished as a child if I said the same thing at the same rate.  I don't understand the logic behind that.  That coupled with the fact that most adults want to be kids again really boggles me.  If they want to be kids you'd assume they'd be using immature language more often than they do now.  But they don't.  They condemn the people who use it as immature, and I don't see why they would.  Contradictory and possibly hypocritical, if you ask me.

Women's Strength

I'm sick of these posts popping up everywhere.  I'm sure I can't be the only one.  The posts about how strong women are because they wear heels, can carry a baby, etcetera, etcetera.  I'm sorry if I can't carry a baby, but I can wear high heels.  I choose not to because I think it's stupid for anyone to wear them.  They're badly designed most of the time and fuck your feet up miserably.  Then they say that they're strong because they can burn their foreheads with curling/straightening irons and not give it a second thought.  Again, this strength is caused by superficial bullshit that shouldn't be done in the first place.  Half the women spend three hours straightening their hair because they don't want it curly, and the other half curl it because they don't want it straight.  Why should we bother doing this?  Both hairstyles are equally good looking in today's society, so why even bother picking?  Then there's the make-up deal, which is even worse.  They regularly spend money on things to make themselves look 'prettier' when they don't even have to bother.  Poor women buy these things, at that, which is even worse.  But, even worse than that whole shit storm is when they say they can cry themselves to sleep and then pretend it didn't happen.  Why should this be used to state strength?  Hasn't crying been used to show weakness since the beginning of recorded history?  Granted, the recovery is more important than the mistake, but still.  We shouldn't allow this to be thrown around since men can do it to.  Some of us do, at that.  Most of us just realize about thirty seconds in that we can just as easily do something more productive with our time than cry.  Why should women be awarded for this while men are frowned upon for it?  Then again, it could be some sort of revenge, since men are allowed to fuck anything that walks and be considered a king, while if women do it they're considered a slut.  I frown upon both equally, though.

Addiction

I'll never understand why rehab is so popular nowadays.  The only thing they do there is limit your consumption of your poison of choice until you're fully off of it.  To my way of thinking, anyone with a good mind should be able to do that on their own.  I mean, it's just weaning, which isn't really worth the money if you ask me.  Anything you can do yourself shouldn't really be paid for.  Especially on something that you'd otherwise be saving money on.  Being addicted to something and then weaning yourself off would save you money in the long run, so why pay someone to help you with it?  I understand that most people can't because they're too weak, but we're enabling worse behaviour by supporting people with weak minds.  It's sort of like the welfare issue that I love to bitch about so much.  We're supporting the wrong types of people.  And I understand that addiction is a difficult thing to overcome solo, but people used to do it all the time.  So why can't we do it now?  I'm confused.

People are Strange.

They had a story on my local news today about a man who went around kissing random people.  He wound up getting charged for assault.  What I don't understand is why he got charged for assault.  I've always thought that assault was a more serious thing.  You know, like rape, beating the shit out of people, and other things of that nature.  There are some people who would love to get kissed randomly on the street.  By anyone, for that matter.  I just don't understand why some people would get so offended by that sort of thing.  It's not like it would cause any sort of psychological trauma on anyone who doesn't already have some form of history of such trauma.  The only people it would really affect are people who were more sheltered growing up than I was, which is saying something.  This country is becoming a place of complete intolerance for anything that can even be remotely related to sex.  Which is just about everything in my mind.  You can relate anything to sex with less than six links between the two.  But good lord, people will always be strange.

Cloning

Now, as we all know cloning replicates your DNA perfectly into another living being.  It doesn't copy the consciousness, though.  The conscious of both beings will remain separate for the entire time they're living.  No matter how hard you try, their memories will be completely different.  If the clone decides it's a good idea to stick his head out of a car going 50 MPH and let his head ping off a light post, then he will have that memory.  If he survives, that is.  The non-cloned individual may have the memory of the clone doing it, but he won't have the same perspective on it that the clone has.  Even if you're participating in the same event both people will have different perspectives of it.  If you both go to the same fair at the same exact time, you'll both see it differently.  Now, having said all of this, this should answer this age-old question.  If you have sex with your clone, is it masturbation or gay sex?  At this point the answer should be obvious.  It's gay sex.  It can't be masturbation as the definition of masturbation states that the same entity must be rubbing its own private areas.  I hope that cleared up the suspicion for most of you men out there that you can have sex with your clone and not be considered gay.  Now I just have to apply logic to whether or not sticking your own dick inside your ass hole is gay sex or masturbation.  I'm assuming masturbation, but I'll give it a little more thought before saying that's a fact.
