It’s the worst time of the year.

RE: Catfished – Woman Is Convinced Tyler Perry Relationship Isn’t A Romance Scam.
I wasn’t planning on touching on the madness of Catfished beyond my original article, but this person just had to be commented on.
Distance
As is obvious to anyone visiting this site I’ve been quite distant from it, and quite a bit of social media, over the past few months. This has been a way for me to clear my mind, or at least, an attempt to. I’ve been focusing heavily on other projects and shying away from the […]
There Is A Logic To Everything
This is another one of those entries I’ve been meaning to get to for what feels like forever – a bit of a look into how I view the nature of discourse or, more correctly, how I come to the conclusions and opinions I have about reality. Simply put, as the title states, I feel […]
Hanging In There
It’s been damn near two weeks since my last update, and I just wanted to chime in and say I’m fine and things are okay on a whole, beyond the fact it’s nearly 100 degrees every damn day now (38 Celsius for those of you in the rest of the world) and that’s incredibly exhausting […]
Shit Just Keeps Getting Worse – Pandemic Log 7-7-202
This is just a post to update readers that things are as fine as they can be on my end of things. The world is in a hell of a state right now — well, mainly the US is. The continued political strife is as heated as ever and, exactly as anyone with any sense […]
Shit’s Crazy Out There – Better Make Some Time For Myself
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’d have to be aware of the rather chaotic state that things are in in the United States right now – between the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve also had yet another issue of police oppression and this one seems to be the straw that broke the camels back, as […]
Business Is Booming, Even During Chaos – Pandemic Log 5/11/2020
In a time when many people are still unable to go to work (in spite of, in the United States, most areas re-opening without much concern) I’ve been fortunate in that my job has stayed open, in so far as providing goods and services, during all this, under normal hours. In fact, on a whole, […]
As States Reopen, The Worst Is Yet To Come – Pandemic Log 5/6/2020
After a little over a month of what can only be described as “moderate” lockdown here in the United States many areas have decided to go on and begin opening back up to effectively normal business and work, beyond (thankfully) precautions being taken on a store-to-store, job-to-job, person-to-person basis. One can blame any number of […]
“U.F.O” Does Not Mean “Aliens”
I can’t believe I’m having to write this one, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable ending this week without at least addressing this one. Earlier this week the Pentagon released footage of “UFO’s” they had procured over the past, oh, 20 years or so, from what I’ve seen online anyway, and naturally the internet was awash […]
Remember When YouTube Was, Well, Fun?
Moreover, remember when the motto of the site was “Broadcast Yourself?” I sure as hell do, and at this stage the platform is about as far away from what It was when it started as is possible — it went from being just a simple place to share videos, to a place to really be […]
What Xadara Is, And What It Isn’t
I was intending to write this article a month ago, around the 13th anniversary of this sites founding, but given how much chaos last month was it got delayed while I worked on some other more critical tasks. Today, to finish off this week I figured now would be as good a time as ever […]
No, Online Gaming Is Not “The Biggest Threat To Internet Bandwidth” In The Coming Weeks
The vilification of gaming in the media is never ending, and even now, during the Coronavirus Pandemic and the often mandatory quarantines being enacted around the world, news outlets out there are still trying to find ways to attack gamers and their hobby as the source of some kind of problem — in this case, […]
It Looks Like I Was Right About The PlayStation 5 Backward Compatibility Rumors
Yes, I’m going to take this opportunity to gloat. After months of people constantly throwing out a rumor that the PlayStation 5 would “play every PlayStation game ever” Sony announced today, among other things about the system, that it would not be backwards compatible with anything but, apparently, the “top 100 PlayStation 4 games” and […]
Spam Showcase Vol. 3: The First Horizon Bank Scam Texts
Here’s a bit of a different one in the world of spam, at least for me — text messages claiming that my First Horizon Bank account has been locked and that I need to log into the website to unlock it. Normally, I try to cover spam that’s somewhat funny, but this one is a […]
