I don’t get this…

On the way to work, I saw a “yes for marriage” sign that someone had taped a “thank you” sign on top of.  What’s the point of that?  While the proposition passed in Arizona, had it been up to Pima County (the San Franpsycho of Arizona) the measure would never have passed.

Go put the thank you signs up in Maricopa county.  Give thanks where it’s due, not here.

So I was reading this on cnn.com:

“I mean, look at the local weather guys, they know what they’re doing, not those Weather Channel people. The local people say it’s gonna move north, and that’s enough for me.”

Before Gonzalez goes back inside, he turns and mutters, “Too expensive, anyway.”

Do you remember Katrina? You got pwned.  Bigtime.  They said “it’ll turn north” about Katrina too.  It did turn north, problem being, you’re north of it, stupid.  You’re still north of it.  The local news is telling you to fucking leave.  The governor, the mayor, and everyone on your street who left, is FUCKING LEAVING.

GO DIE.  Don’t fuck any fertile women on your way down, either.

Why is it you simply cannot stumble upon any article about C++ inheritance without someone throwing in “in C++ your friends get to see your privates! *giggle* *snicker* *etc*”?

I thought this was funny when I heard it the first time — when I was in high school.  It’s just not funny anymore!

So I’m driving in to work today, and I have to cross the city…like every other day.  I notice at Oracle and Ina that all four corners of the intersection are *packed* with anti-Bush protesters.  Now for this liberal shithole (Tucson), this is fairly normal…though it usually manifests itself downtown with the rest of the liberal nonsense that goes around down there…

Anyway, I keep going on my way to work (after telling the protesters to get a fuckin’ job before driving through the intersection) and I notice a literal cavalcade of police.  TPD, MPD, PCSO…every agency nearby has what looks like every motorcycle they have, parked at 3 places along Ina road: Oracle and Ina (which I thought this police presence was to keep the dirty liberals in line), Ina and Orange Grove, and the Westin La Paloma Resort.

At this point I’m curious what’s going on, so I pull up KVOA on my iPhone 3G, and apparently the president is here to support a local candidate by hosting a 500k/plate breakfast with the president.  Cute.

It bothers me though, why would throngs of protesters gather on a day where the only people who will see their signs are either a) people like me who drive through that intersection any other day, or b) Bush supporters and like minded republicans on their way to have breakfast with the president.

Retarded liberals.  They need to go to work.  In a camp.  A death camp.  Yeah.  They need to go somewhere they can concentrate.  Or drink some Kool-Aid.  Or hole up at a compound in Texas.

I just got my SwapMagic 3.8 CODER discs from Modchip.ca in the mail yesterday…the CD version (for playing CD PS2 games) was fine…the DVD version was warped, and won’t load.

I sent them a help ticket and they suggested that I didn’t know how to properly load a PS2 disc.  Yeah…right.  Not all of your customers are idiots guys, and those who are that stupid…well, I’m not sure how they manage to use a computer to order from you in the first place.

Anyway, long story short, they want me to send the disc back to them (shipping at my own expense, of course) to get a replacement.

Fuckers.  Maybe I’ll just machine a steel ring and glue the disc to that.

So there’s this new law that gives, more or less, immunity to telcos for complying with law enforcement data disclosure requests.  For example, if you get arrested for illegal pr0n, you can’t sue Comcast for giving your data to the local constabulary.  Seems logical enough, right?  To anyone with half a brain and/or some common sense, it would be.

Apparently not…the libtard (a portmanteu of liberal and retard, for those who don’t know me too well) on my team at work thinks that he should be able to sue the PD *and* the telco if he gets arrested where due process isn’t followed.  To make things worse, he would seek only punitive damages for the incident, just to screw the telco and the PD out of some money.  This astounds me…he wants to make sure that when he gets arrested, he can blame everybody but himself.  When I argue with him, he calls me a “fascist”, as if it’s a bad thing.  I’d honestly rather a liberal think me a fascist than an intelligent person think me a liberal.  Common sense is fascism to you liberals, isn’t it?

Why do liberals refuse to take personal responsibility for anything? If you’re doing something that could get you arrested, either do it anonymously, or don’t do it.  If you’re not smart enough to commit crimes and not get caught, crime just isn’t for you, bucko, the Burger King (or God forbid — a real job entailing hard work and commensurate rewards) awaits.  If you’re worried about your ISP abusing your data, *don’t* give it to them.  It’s that simple.  Don’t want your boss reading your email? Encrypt it.  Point is, take personal responsibility for yourself and the consequences of your own actions.

Fucking liberals…stop treating the government like your mommy and your meal ticket.  We can’t afford you lazy slackers anymore.  Grow the fuck up.

Regarding this article over on Engadget…

I don’t understand what the big deal is here…so the government wants to snoop on communications using wireless devices, so they’re telling RIM to allow them to do it, or be barred from operating in India, on airwaves controlled by the government.

Not that I really care about Indian affairs, but this has to do with consumer ineptitude in general.

People need to get used to their government snooping on them and take matters into their own hands.  There’s a port of GPG for the Blackberry, use it.  Encrypt your own data if you want security; don’t leave it in the hands of someone else.

People are just told “oh, yeah, we use encryption, your data’s secure” without even asking from who their data is safe from snooping.

Get a clue, people.

Why do people insist upon rendering niceties upon the unworthy, useless scraps of society?  I’m referring to bums.  Vagrants.  Hobos.  Indigents.  Street people.  Homeless.  Societus Derelictus.

So I’m on my way to the Subway across the street from my office.  I have a ragged, black bum walk up to me, getting in my way, and begging for money, in this raspy, barely coherent voice that just squeaks from years of persistent drug abuse.   I give him my usual “fuck off, you don’t need any more drugs” look and he walks away, probably swearing under his breath, who cares…useless people.

I go into the Subway and get in line.  In front of me is a couple of average looking people, and a nicely put together (read: well dressed, professional) black woman.  All of the sudden, this also, well put-together black man who is clearly with the aforementioned woman walks in with this bum with him.  He proceeds to buy this foul-smelling human trash a footlong sub (and when asked if the man paying wanted to make the bum’s order a meal, the bum interjected vehemently to the affirmative) and a drink, and walk outside and send the bum on his way.

So now you’re thinking, “Tom, you asshole,  have you no heart? No compassion for your fellow man?”  Let’s look at this situation logically:

1. A simple sandwich is not going to miraculously transform this wreck into a useful member of society.  In fact, buying him a sandwich only demonstrates to him, that like the liberals of this country, someone will always take care of him because he chooses not to do so himself.
2. By wasting my time and the time of everyone behind me with this crap, you hurt the economy.  You tied up several productive members of society from conducting business.  Furthermore because I had to write this blog instead of working.
3. If your conscience is so stained that you feel a need to help people like this, you should probably just give him money.  Yeah, he’ll probably buy drugs or alcohol with it, but these are things he’s already addicted to anyway.   The grab is, that he’ll probably mug, murder, or otherwise accost someone to get his drug money.  Maybe he’ll rape his victims for funsies too.  So congratulations, you self-aggrandizing prick, you have a potential rape/murder on your conscience now.
4. It’s really much easier just to push him into traffic in the middle of the night.  We all know people street race on the Tucson streets at night.  Do him (and us) a favor by removing his wretched existence.

Next time you want to help a bum…ask yourself who you’re hurting in the process, and just tell him to get a fuckin’ job like everyone else.

Best Buy SUCKS.  I order a 4GB MicroSDHC card for my phone…so I could put more media on it when I go to the gym, so rather than just listen to music, I can throw some anime on there too and watch it.  So I go to their website, and order it and choose store pickup at the Broadway Best Buy.

The website says it’s in stock at that store, I select the store for pickup, and since its right down to the wire, I don’t wait for the confirmation email that says my stuff is there, just the one that says the order was processed.  Best Buy is on my way home anyway, so I just stopped on the way home.

I go to the pickup line, wait there for 10 minutes, only to find that they do not in fact have it in stock there.  When I asked the guy at the Best Buy what was up, he explains that the website really has no idea what’s in stock at any of the retail locations.

So after 10 minutes of conversation with 2 people that could not give me a single, unified straight answer, my order will be cancelled in 8 days unless I call them and tell them what to do with it.  Somehow the 24 minute Circuit City thing is looking a lot better.

Update: I cancelled my order with Best Buy and ordered an 8GB MicroSDHC from Newegg.com for $80.

Update 2: Just got an email from Best Buy.  They want to know what I thought if my in-store pickup “experience”.  Oh god are they getting a link to this.

So yea, Best Buy…

So I was on my way down to Sonoita to have dinner with my uncle, who I haven’t seen since I was two, and thus, have no memory of, whatsoever, and get trapped behind this fucking truck.

Notice it’s got commercial plates, and the cowboy hat on the driver. Yes, this is a dirty wetback that cannot seem to understand the concept of going faster than 40mph, in a 55 zone. There’s also 3 cars behind us, and this motherfucker is completely oblivious.

Ya know dude, it’s great that you (probably) got here legally and all, but fucking assimilate. Everyone in the United States speeds. Do so before someone caps your dumb ass for making them late.
