Summer Heat
The last day of June finds me in the midst of a heatwave. They want it crazy hot all weekend long and the summer’s only just getting started, so I’m sure there’s plenty more to come. The weather isn’t the only thing getting hot around here.
Happy Birthday, Dorothy
Dorothy is 18 today, so I wanted to treat her to her favorite group singing Happy Birthday (albeit, to someone else).
It’s the thought that counts. Right?
She wanted to go to Knoebel’s for her birthday, but the rest of us didn’t want to get heat stroke so we’re going to table that until the heatwave breaks. For today, we’re going to the Reading Museum to see their Alien Worlds & Androids display. If you’re a Knowlan, you’ve gotta be a sci-fi geek. That’s just how we roll.
Get It Started
Well, summer is cranking up the heat and so am I. I’ve got hot PLR products available at Nichyssoise and will be adding more in the near future. I’m retooling Permanent Payday and that’s only the beginning. I’ve got some other ideas cooking, but they require a bit of capital to set up. More on that in a future post.
Trollfire
When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat. ~Ronald Reagan
One of the things I’m known for on Facebook is heckling idiots. I don’t much care if you want to believe in this, that or the other. Whatever gets you up in the morning.
The problem begins when you’re trying to pass fiction as fact. Some things are blatantly incorrect. When people base their whole identities on such things, they’re idiots.
No problem. Lots of people are idiots. It’s a basic human right to be as idiotic as you want to be. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, as they say. Again, no problem.
The problem becomes an issue when the idiot tries to convince somebody who knows the facts of their idiotic fiction. I don’t believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming. I don’t believe that rebranding it as Climate Change makes the idiocy any more convincing. The climate is always changing. What a raft of BS. People don’t deal in facts. They deal in cherry-picked sound bites and rah-rah slogans.
When you bring that crap to me, I lay out the facts. When you keep on the trip, I just start trolling because doubling down on idiocy is, well, idiotic. If you’re going to be idiotic, you’re going to be treated as…
… wait for it …
AN IDIOT!
Shocker, right?
It’s entertaining for me to troll idiots who are trying to feed me fiction. It’s entertaining for like-minded friends.
It’s upsetting for sensitive souls who don’t like seeing people get trolled. Oh well. As the saying goes,
Don’t start none, there won’t be none.
I’m a pretty forgiving sort, but feeding me a line of crap will either get you trolled, schooled or blocked. That’s how it gets down, y’all.
So, that’s it for this sweltering hot Summer day. Please wish my younger daughter a Happy Birthday if you see her at the museum today.
