The President is just a Figurehead

Some satire on the nature of the president, paraphrased from The Hitchikers Gide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, with some extra parts thrown in by me.

The president in particular is very much a figurehead, he wields no real power whatsoever. The qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. For this reason an erratic, irresponsible, wildly egomaniacal, grandiose blowhard obsessed with his TV ratings and who starts petty feuds, is exactly who you want for president. Even if he made his presidential addresses from his bath tub, prison cell, or even a sex worker's bedroom, he would still be considered amazingly good at his job.

ai

"AI will take over the world and destroy humanity".

People have been talking about machines taking over the world ever since the industrial revolution. I can't get an AI to contact its own makers so it can report a bug in itself. I can't even get it to call 911 for me in an emergency to save my life. It's not taking over the world quite yet.

The Ultimate List of Filthy Limericks

 

There once was a fellow called Dave

Who kept a dead whore in a cave

He said, "I admit,

that I'm a cheap shit,

But think of the money I save"

The captains name was Arthur

He was a truly talented farter

He could fart anything

From God save the King

To Beethoven's fifth sonata

There once was an Elf from North Pole

Who chased after every wet hole

Til his wife learned the truth

And gave him the boot

Now his stocking is filled only with coal

A recent survey was conducted on how men like women's legs to be.

3% of men said they like women with thick legs.

2% said they like women with thin legs.

And 95% said they prefer something in between.

There once was a lady from Japan

Who went for a ride on a tram

The dirty conductor

Came down and fucked her

And now she's pushing a pram

There once was a man from Nantucket

Whose dick was so long he could suck it

He said with a grin

As he wiped off his chin

"If my ears was a cunt I could fuck it"

There once was a man from Bombay

Who made a cunt out of clay

The heat from his prick

Turned it into a brick

And rubbed all his foreskin away

There once was a lady from the Azores

Whose cunt was all covered in sores

The dogs in the street

Would lick the green meat

That hung like festoons from her drawers

There once was a gal from Cancun,

Who had a most curious poon.

T'was coarse like a thistle,

But tight as a whistle,

And whilst cumming, could play you a tune.

There is a young man in Nepal

Who has hexagonal balls

The square-root of their weight

Plus their length times eight

Is his phone number, give him a call

There once was a god named Woden,

Whose sword was mightily swollen,

The goddesses would scream,

As they devoured all his cream,

So they named a day for his loadin'.

T'was once a couple named Kelley, they had to walk belly to belly, 'cause in their haste, they used library paste instead of petroleum jelly.

Guessing a journey can be the road

I mused while atop the commode

Not moving a bit

While leaving a shit

Travel sans movement's my abode

As we near the end of the year

We should cherish those things most dear

Whether it be sex oral, from dick to clitoral

And follow up with a cold

.The kayaker paddled by moonlight

To a secret and secluded bight

Met her baidarka'd lover

And by darkness's cover

Practiced "rolling" and "bracing" all night

There once was a gal with a cold.

She had scattered tissues new and old.

She picked one for a blow,

It had a scent she did know:

The mess her last lover had doled.

There once was a gal named merkin

I saw her on the corner workin

She only charged me a nickel

To suck on my pickle

Because it’s small and shriveled like a gherkin.

There once was a crazy Australian bloke

Who during sex often told shitty jokes

And when he began to start

He let out a wet stinky shart

Now he’s covered in his own shit splatter cloak

In a Larr'kin he dipped his wick

Not caring the boy was quite sick

Viruses and germs

Did fight back his sperms

And quickly exploded his dick

An old body is bound to fail ya

So too your external genitalia

A lovely young lass

Offers her ass

“I’m much too feeble to nail ya!”

There was a girl named Pinky

A big lover of kitties was she.

She wanted another cat,

Her husband said fuck that.

It will be the end of me licking that pussy!

He wanted to feel more alive

Sweet love did he make

But what a mistake

He was allergic and did not survive

A thong is a strange thing to be

One thing can be certain:

trapped in a beef curtain

It would rather be a mankini.

There once was a lady in heels

Who considered blow jobs meals

After she fed

This was all she said

Who got his testicles caught in the wringer

He shouted in pain, as they rolled down the drain

As it rested on her chin

And gave thanks to the knob gobbling festival

Who discovered red spots on his tool

He rushed to the doc, who looked at his cock

Just wipe off the lipstick you fool!

# 1 There once was a gal named Lewinsky Who played on a
flute like Stravinsky 'Twas "Hail to the Chief" on this flute
made of beef that stole the front page from Kaczynski.

# 2 Said Bill Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky We don't want to
leave clues like Kaczynski, Since you look such a mess, use
the hem of your dress And wipe that stuff off of your
chinsky.

# 3 Lewinsky and Clinton have shown what Kaczynski must
surely have known: that an intern is better than a bomb in a
letter given the choice to be blown.

much stir as Kaczynski When on Kenneth Starr's lap she
confided, when trapped, "Bill Clinton is hung like Nijinsky."

There once was a woman from Salem,

Her beau was an ivy league alum.

She kept a scoreboard,

For the ladies he'd moored,

A scene any puppy truly fears

Their ears he’d hold tight

Their ass he’d fuck right

But sand in their cracks, and all of their sacks.

Made 'shrooms the only source of elan.

His loneliness led him to do crime.

As the bodies fell,

The cops couldn’t tell

Which body part he’d done it with this time.

Seems to have but only one goal?

As its tumblers are tilled,

It’s so nice to be filled.

If it had eyes, way back they’d roll.

There once was a gal who craved meat,

But nothing could she find to eat.

Then along came a lad,

Who was scantily clad,

And under his kilt was her treat.

A bear taking a dump asked a rabbit

"Does sh*t stick to your fur as a habit?"

"Of course not" said the hare

"It's really quite rare!"

So the bear wiped his ass with the rabbit

There once were two hills shaped like mounds,

They would move around town making rounds.

Some guy thought they looked dry,

So he raised his cock high,

And now they make moist squishy sounds.

And on her behind,

For the sake of the blind,

Is the same information, in braille!

There once was a girl named Alice,

Who used dynamite as a phallus.

They found her vagina in North Carolina,

And part of her asshole in Dallas.

There was a young woman from Exeter,

And all the young men threw their sex at her,

So just to be rude,

She lay in the nude,

And let her perverted parrot take pecks at her.

Climate Fearmongering

A recent UN survey shows 60% of people in rich countries believe climate change will lead to the end of mankind (https://www.undp.org/press-releases/worlds-largest-survey-public-opinion-climate-change-majority-people-call-wide-ranging-action). This has been caused by fear mongering in the media (i.e. braindead journalists that know nothing). Not only is it untrue, it's harmful because it makes people embrace bad policies and ignore more urgent problems facing the world. Like many things, climate change has positive and negative effects, but we rarely hear about the positives because fear is a better motivator, and is more successful for getting votes for politicians, donations for activists, and grants for scientists. Over the last 20 years, temperature rises have caused about 116,000 more people to die from heat, but at the same time about 283,000 fewer people died from cold. Nine times as many people die from cold as from heat. Yet we don't hear about this in the news. Some other wild claims from the media:

"Climate change is fueling extremism" cnn.com/2019/03/06/world/climate-change-terrorism-extremism-africa-middle-east-intl/index.html

"A shifting climate is catalysing infectious disease" bbc.com/future/article/20231201-fevered-planet-how-climate-change-spreads-infectious-disease

"Climate change will harm children's mental health" usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-10-11/dimate-change-will-harm-childrens-mental-health-report

Well I guess it sucks for people in Bangladesh, Florida, and low lying islands in the ocean, those places will be submerged as sea level rises, but then again, it hasn't bothered the Netherlands where a third of the country is below sea level and some places are 22ft below. Maybe it's possible for people to adapt? For people in Siberia and northern Canada, things are looking pretty rosy, especially since most of the warming that occurs will be in the higher latitudes. Higher crop yields and faster plant growth, new areas opening up to farming that were once too cold. No you won't hear about those things in the news. A greener world is the last thing the "greenies" want you to think.

Most People Are Idiots

The US is now producing 13.2 million barrels of crude oil per day, higher than the 13.0 Mbpd during the last peak of our oil boom during the pre-Covid, orange man era. We're now the world's largest oil producing nation, beating Russia back in 2018. Sleepy Joe also approved drilling in northern Alaska back in March, one of the largest oil developments ever on federal land, and is supported by labor unions, building trades, residents of northern Alaska, and Alaskan natives. But his campaign promise was "No more drilling on federal lands, period", and "I can guarantee you, if I'm president, there will be no offshore drilling" and he promised to make the moratorium on offshore drilling permanent. He promised to put the US on a path to zero emissions by 2050. Yet he just approved three offshore drilling leases two months ago. In fact, two years into his presidency he had approved more permitting for drilling on federal lands than orange man had at the same point. So where are the cry babies of the orange man era? Why isn't the media lambasting Sleepy Joe and whipping the country into mouth-frothing mass hysteria? A lot of people are just stupid, they don't care about policies or their consequences, they only care about the president having the personality, appearance, and party preference they like. A lot of people just vote for some fantasy campaign promises, and never follow what policies are actually enacted later, and don't care about their effects. A lot of people are just like I was when I was younger, an idiot.

The Ego Maniacs of Music and Movie

I was just thinking about how people in the movie, TV, and music industries are always patting themselves on the back with various publicly broadcast awards shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Oscars etc. Then there are the movie and music stars who use their wide audience to espouse their beliefs. What do these people really contribute to the society and how important do they think they are? They provide art and entertainment. The movie industry is perhaps about twice the size of the music industry in terms of revenue generated. If you include live concerts, merchandise, and streaming then perhaps they're the same. However the video game industry is three times the size of the movie industry in terms of revenue generated and they don't have major award shows or use their status to spread their political beliefs. So the movie and music people are really just narcissists and egotists who like drawing attention to themselves. 

Gasoline prices averaging $6 a gallon in California

Gasoline is averaging and even exceeding $6 a gallon here, while in Arizona it's averaging $4.65. Part of that is because Governor Newsom passed Senate Bill X1-2 into law earlier this year. It set up a new bureaucracy called the Division of Petroleum Market Oversight to control gas prices, and it does that by adding more regulatory compliance costs to oil companies, which are then passed on to consumers. The genius of Newsom.

Calfornia should be a place for only wealthy people, and anyone who can't afford to put $20,000 of solar panels and a $10,000 battery on their $1 million home, so they can charge their $80,000 electric car, is just a silly poor piece of crap who doesnt deserve to live here 😂 As long as the 0.7% transgender population can find the right bathroom, that's what really matters to our economy. Newsom for president in 2024. Make America California 🤣

The Climate Emergency Nonsense

We're in an interglacial period within an ice age. Permanent ice caps at the poles is not a normal part of Earth's climate. The sea level has risen almost 400 feet since the last ice age ended 11,500 years ago. Global temperature has risen a few degrees celsius during that time. The idea that human civilization arose during a period of unusually stable climate is complete nonsense that's not supported by any science. In Roman times citrus and grapes were grown in Britain. There was also the medieval warm period. During the last interglacial period 125,000 years ago, sea level was 120 feet higher than today. Hence why we hear "This is the hottest climate in 120,000 years". People will just have to get out of the way as sea level rises, they won't have any other choice. The global climate is so cold right now that most of the biodiversity is confined to only the warmest parts of the world, the coral reefs and rainforests of the tropics. As temperatures warm this biodiversity will be able to inhabit more parts of the world. Hundreds of millions of years of carbon capture in the form of coal, oil, and limestone has helped usher in this ice age. At one point during the last glacial period, atmospheric CO2 got down to 180ppm. If it gets down to about 150ppm plants can no longer photosynthesize and they die, along with all the life on Earth that depends on them. We need to get atmospheric CO2 back up to 800-1000ppm where it was for most of the last tens of millions of years. Don't believe the hype of climate alarmists, there is nothing in the science of climate change that says it will be the end of the world, the end of civilization, or the end of humanity. Yes the climate is changing, no it's not going to kill us or the planet. Climate alarmists are using fear to grab power, control, and make money. If they have their way we will be living on a frozen lifeless snowball.

Neo-Marxist Ideas About the Wealthy

This kind of thinking is based on various false ideas.

The first false idea is that because some people are very wealthy, others must therefore be poor. It's as if there's only one pie to be had and if someone gets a bigger slice of it, then everyone else gets a smaller slice. It doesn't work like that.

Also consider that you've helped to create those wealthy people by buying the products and services they created because you want or need them. Entrepreneurs get wealthy because they're more creative, more motivated, harder working, more business savvy, and luckier then other people. They create products and services that are new, or better than what's already available, and customers like those products and services, so they're willing to pay for them. There is plenty of opportunity in the world for you to get wealthy, but you're not creative, motivated, hard working, business savvy, or lucky enough.

Another false idea is that the wealthy are somehow leeches on society, sucking off the poor working schmucks to get rich. In the US the wealthiest 1% pay 42% of all federal income taxes, the wealthiest 10% pay 73%, and the wealthiest 50% pay 97.7% of all federal income taxes. So it's actually the poor schmucks who are the leeches on society. Who said they should get a free ride through life if they can't compete in the world?

And whoever said the person on foods stamps was a problem, other than being a leech on society.

And then of course there's the neo-Marxist idea that rich people are simply evil, which is mostly based on jealousy and envy rather than any rational thought process. And from the same people who dream of being rich some day. In reality, the wealthy are great philanthropists, donating enormous sums to great causes, for example the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in San Diego, built mostly by donations from ultra wealthy people, just so ordinary people can enjoy themselves. The wealthy don't have any obligation to share their wealth with anyone, yet they do. 

So just be happy with what you are, a schmuck, a nobody, it's nothing to be embarrassed about, you just don't matter much in the world and will never be important or wealthy. Get over it. 😊

And speaking of parasites on society, this message was brought to you by the Grace Methodist Church, pushing the false narrative of an afterlife for power and money.

Democratic Hypocrisy and Virtue Signalling

New Jersey governor Phil Murphy, while seeking election in 2017, insisted on making New Jersey a sanctuary state, saying sanctuary policies were about "inclusiveness" and "the nations moral compass".
However, now that the Biden admin is proposing to move 60,000 illegal immigrants from NYC to New Jersey, he says "I don't see any scenario where we're going to be able to take in a program in Atlantic City or frankly elsewhere in the state... you need scale, enormous amount of federal support, resources that go beyond anything we can afford..." 😂
Meanwhile, democratic politicians in NY are blaming each other for the immigrant surge, and NY governor Kathy Hochul is blaming the Biden admin,"This crisis originated with the federal government" 😂
Providing shelter and services to NYC illegal immigrants and asylum seekers is estimated to cost the city $1.4B in 2023 and $2.8B in 2024. US customs and border protection have encountered 2 million illegal immigrants and asylum seekers at the southwest border as of July this year.
Meanwhile, the nations crying liberals are still pointing fingers at the Texas and Florida governors for their shipping of migrants to sanctuary states, while not once offering a room in their own house or any other resources for the immigrants. "I demand compassion, as long as I don't have to actually do anything" 🍆🤦    😂🤣 

Paradise is a Moving Target

Paradise is a moving target. Get there too early and there's no running water. Get there too late and there's a long line at Starbucks.

Climate Change BS

Here's the CENOGRID data, the Cenozoic global reference benthic foramanifer carbon and oxygen isotope dataset. It's a decades long scientific effort to produce an astronomically tuned high-definition stratigraphic reference of global climate evolution over the last 66 million years. Currently we are in an interglacial period within an ice age. Atmospheric CO2 was 800-1000ppm for most of the last 66 million years, and sometimes 2000ppm, and global temperature was much warmer than today. All of today's mammalian life evolved during that period, and every living organism alive today has an ancestor that lived through that time. Sea level has risen 120 meters, almost 400 feet, since the last ice age ended 11,500 years ago, and it was 35 meters, about 120ft, higher than today during the last interglacial period 125,000 years ago. Hundreds of million of years of carbon capture in the form of coal, oil, and limestone has reduced atmospheric CO2 to the point that it has plunged us into an ice age. If CO2 gets down to about 150ppm, plants can no longer photosynthesize and they die, along with all the life on earth that depends on them. "Why the fascination with ancient climate when humans have only been around for a few hundred thousand years?" Well, why the fascination with only tiny geological time scales and only the most recent climate? Answer that one? So if some kooky environmental Doomsday cultist with no climate science qualifications tells you "The end is near, you will perish in flame if you don't obey my climate warnings", you can tell them "Follow the science" and show them this graph, because they'd obviously rather have us living on a barren lifeless snowball. So you see, when we burn fossil fuels, we're actually saving the planet. 

Jeremy Katopol - one of the worst people I've ever met

That look of anger sums up the personality of Jeremy Katopol perfectly.

Photo from his LinkedIn profile. Even with a suit and glasses he looks angry.

From his Facebook profile



This is Jeremy Katopol, one of the worst people I've ever met. I had the misfortune of meeting this unpleasant man through a running club, and then through Facebook.

My first encounter with him was when I suggested people donate to a butterfly sanctuary on the Texas-Mexico border that was going to be affected by the building of Trump's border wall. Jeremy, who goes by Jer Katopol on Facebook and LinkedIn, then proceeded to call me a stupid old Boomer who throws his money at the problem. The tone of his writing is such that he appears to be yelling at you. How else am I supposed to help out a Texas butterfly sanctuary when I live in California? Anyway, I donated $100 to the cause and got to write it off as a tax deductible donation to a registered 501(c)3 non-profit. What was JerK's contribution to the cause? Absolutely nothing. As for the Boomer comment, JerK was born around 1985 and therefore he's rapidly approaching 40 years old, over the hill, a tired old of sack of bones with one foot in the grave.

Mind you, JerK is someone who supposedly supports causes. For example, some years ago he ran up and down Cowles mountain here in San Diego for 24 hours, "to raise awareness about veteran suicides". Looks like we have a regular Forrest Gimp on our hands. How does running up and down a hill all day and night help prevent veteran suicides? Why was my contribution to the butterfly sanctuary so worthless but his completely ineffectual effort is so important?? What he actually did was something for himself, to draw attention to himself, to self-aggrandize himself because he makes no significant contribution to society.

https://www.10news.com/news/local-veteran-fighting-suicide-in-unique-way-050616

As far as supporting causes goes, in reality what he actually does is verbally abuse people who disagree with his opinion. 

You can get some idea of his disagreeable nature from his LinkedIn profile. He hasn't held any job for more than two years, and usually much less than that. He's also not well educated. In my experience it's often the least educated and least contributing members of society that feel the greatest need to be heard, and are the most likely to be pompous entitled douchebags. This is doubly so for JerK.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jer-katopol-05649885/

Among his skills listed are "Excellent interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills". You've got to be kidding? I've only had a few interactions with this man and I can already see he has some of the worst interpersonal and written communication skills of anyone I've ever seen, and he can't handle the tiniest disagreement without acting like a psychotic. Molehills quickly become unsurpassable mountains with this man.

"Proficient in MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook" - wow, such unique and special skills, they'll get you a long way in life.
"Great team player". I don't know how this arrogant and verbally abusive man could possibly be a functioning member of any team, which is probably shown by the fact that he hasn't held any job more than two years.  Also, as you can see from the news article above, his marriage fell apart when he left the military, and I'd guess it's probably because he can't handle disagreement without becoming a screaming madman.

After my initial online encounter with JerK, I saw him at one of my running club meetings. He seemed apologetic and friendly. He also mentioned that he used to be a piece of shit and is medicated now. He obviously suffers from some sort of mental illness that makes him so disagreeable. Then he proceeded to smoke marijuana and get drunk.

Anyway, after that encounter I allowed him to be a Facebook friend. However that quickly turned out to be a mistake, as there were immediately several bouts of his arrogant screaming verbally abusive interactions. He insisted for example that Kyle Rittenhouse was guilty, even though he had been found to have acted in self-defense in a court of law. OK that whole Kyle Rittenhouse episode was a giant string of mistakes from start to finish, no one was doing what they should have been doing, but the law did it's job and justice was done even if imperfectly. But no, JerK insisted the court was wrong even though he hadn't seen the evidence himself, and proceeded to verbally abuse me again and called me a "bootlicker" for supporting the "oppressor", the police, and promptly unfriended me on Facebook. Never mind that one of the assailants was a convicted pedophile, no JerK supports this person. Apparently JerK has a separate legal system that exists inside his head, which isn't related to the actual legal system of this country. He also mentioned that if he saw someone with a gun "Imma try to take that gun from you", in which case he'd hopefully get shot just like the guys who attacked Kyle Rittenhouse. Never mind that this man took the Oath of Allegiance and served in the military to protect our nation's values. No, if you disagree with him he's going to stomp all over your first amendment right to free speech by acting like a screaming hysterical lunatic.  I also told him that the US has one of the best justice systems in the world, to which "his royal highness" responded with his unquestionable authority on the world's justice systems that this was not true. Just another idiot that has absolutely no idea what he's talking about but can never be wrong. A testosterone-fueled meathead sports jock with an overinflated ego and a false sense of self-importance. The classic definition of a douchebag.

The ultimate end of our brief acquaintance came when the Ukraine war started. I commented on a Facebook post that the war could perhaps have been avoided with better diplomacy, to which he responded in his usual arrogant screaming writing style that I was wrong. He then of course decided he wanted to pick a fight by saying that he knows a woman in the Ukraine and she's dead now because of the war, and there's nothing I could ever say that would make him forget that.  I mentioned that my father-in-law and mother had just died the week before and I knew how he felt about that death, but I got no condolences and he was only worried about himself and his possibly-imaginary Ukraine friend and the assumption she was already dead just days into the war. He was really just trying to find something to get in a fight about. What a drama queen. OK bud, maybe you're right, but your attitude is terrible and your human interactions with people make them dislike you.  He then proceeded to private message me on Facebook to abuse me further about my brief passing comment that perhaps failed diplomacy led to the Ukraine war. Of course he didn't have any logical arguments or information to enlighten me as to his reasoning, it was just his usual psychotic screaming style.

So this is my first impression of JerK, just a few brief interactions, almost all of which were abusive tirades. In the end I decided he must be mentally ill and informed him that I would never again make the mistake of interacting with him, and I blocked him.

You can tell this man is a drama queen from the pronouns on his Facebook page.  Anyone who needs to let you know their pronouns is guaranteed to be someone who is looking to find social injustice wherever it may be, and to then engage in his typical verbal abuse, bigoted age-ist insults about "stupid old Boomers", and attempts to start fights online so he can carry them over to the real world.

https://www.facebook.com/sling.shott.7

Speaking of Facebook, here is a photo I found there of JerK with a man called Tony Leiras.  Tony is a known habitual conman, and court documents show he has taken advantage of women for money, has evaded paying tens of thousands of dollars in federal taxes, and has stopped making child support payments to his former wife. A man who won't even support his own children! That's the kind of company JerK keeps.

Let's have a look at some more of his LinkedIn profile.  Yes, you guessed it, this social justice warrior has a "Causes" section longer than his education and employment history. From my few brief interactions with JerK, it's clear that he's a petty pathetic little man who uses the guise of social justice to find more people to verbally abuse and start fights with, so he can make himself feel better and more important.  He also hangs around with other social justice warrior types, people who are also poorly educated and contribute the least to society, but nonetheless think they're among the smartest and most important people in society, and whose self-declared moral superiority must be heard loudly and obeyed without question. The same kind of people who advocate for socialism in America, because they blame society and the world around them for their lack of success and low station in life, and socialism would give them more without having to do anything for it.

I have dealt with some difficult people in my life, and I can be difficult myself. Sometimes I even troll people online for a little fun, and most people who know me have come to understand my twisted sense of humor.  Then this JerK comes out of nowhere, with no understanding of our history or the existing dynamics of our social group, and decides he's going to play the hero, and burn his bridges down to the waterline before he's even gotten to know people.  I've seen him treat other people with the same attitudes and behavior as he's treated me, so it's not something specific to me. Of all the people I've met in my life, I have never met anyone who grated so severely on my nerves within just a few brief first-time interactions. Never have I felt compelled to write a blog post about an unpleasant person I've met, more than a year after I severed contact with them. JerK is just that bad. Anyone whose personal interactions with other people are that disaffected would typically be classified as a psychotic patient who requires hospitalization in a mental institute.

If you're reading this JerK, just be aware that you can't sue someone for defamation if what they say about you is true. You're the human equivalent of a pile of feces. Consider this to be the "Consequences" of your angry bitter resentful attitude. I'm glad you're not doing well in life because you don't deserve it. It makes sense that running is your main interest because it requires no intelligence. Run Forrest, run!

UPDATE July 2023:  I ran into JerK at the running club a couple of weeks ago.  He had a pony tail and had dyed his hair red. Because if you're going to be a social justice warrior and save the world by harassing people online, then you might as well look like a freak as well.  However, JerK saw me and then he promptly disappeared. So not only is he an obnoxious jerkoff, but his big online mouth writes checks that his real life persona can't cash. Just a cowardly weak piece of crap who destroys relations with people before they've even started, just so he can exercise his self-appointed sense of moral superiority and feel better about his crappy little life. What an asshole!

I guess I could call JerK a "fincel", but a fincel is actually more educated than JerK, who according to his Linked In profile, has barely graduated highschool.

Update August 2023:   I unblocked JerK on Facebook just so I could question him about his sudden disappearance at the running club when he saw me.

What a mistake, as it was just another unpleasant experience.

His final reply:

Some heavy threats mixed in there too, gonna pass it on to my lawyer as well, sounds like I might need a restraining order. Be well my dude.

And then he promptly blocked me in Facebook messenger.

------------------------------------

There were no heavy threats in my writing, nor any threats at all. The only threats that existed were the ones in his psychotic deranged imagination. Somehow he thinks I'm going to be scared by his threats of legal action. A restraining order, woooooo!!! Just think, I wouldn't be able to go near someone that I cannot even bear to chat with online. Bring it on bitch! What a weak cowardly piece of crap. For a start, this guy wouldn't be able to afford one hour of a lawyer's time, even if his imaginary lawyer really did exist in real life.  

Anyway, I guess that's the end of that saga. Now that he's blocked me on Facebook instead of vice versa, now he's in control of that. That will save me from any temptation to unblock and message him again. I'll probably bump into him at the running club again some time soon, and he'll disappear again because his real life persona can't handle the social damage that his big online mouth causes.

What a lowlife dumbass meathead sports-jock moron piece of dog shit.  I hope he dies slowly and painfully at an early age from cancer, and I hope I get to visit him in hospital so I can laugh in his face.

My Vindaloo Curry Recipe

Recipe. The secret is to use Pataks brand vindaloo curry paste. It's pretty easy to find at ethnic markets. Use a big pot. Fry two chopped onions in oil until brown. Cube and fry 3-4 lbs chicken breasts until lightly browned. Add 1 jar of curry paste, half a dozen chopped tomatoes, a clove of garlic, several coined carrots, a few chopped red bell peppers, chopped cauliflower. Simmer. Total cooking time should be about an hour so the chicken is tender but not falling apart. Serve with extra long grain basmati rice. If you want you can throw half a pound of chopped mushrooms in when you start cooking the rice. Serve over rice with Pataks or Sharwoods mango chutney and maybe pappapdums. The pappadums have to be fried in oil at super high heat and cook in seconds. This makes a bunch of servings that can be frozen off for later use.

Time Travel Technology: Concepts from ChatGPT

OK ChatGPT

What technologies would I need to design a machine that can travel through time


ChatGPT
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, time travel is purely theoretical and has not been proven to be possible. While there are various concepts and hypotheses proposed by scientists, there is no definitive understanding of how time travel could be achieved.

However, if we were to consider a hypothetical scenario where time travel becomes feasible in the future, it would likely require advanced technologies and scientific understanding beyond our current capabilities. Here are some theoretical concepts that could potentially be involved:

Time dilation: Time dilation refers to the difference in the passage of time between two observers due to differences in their relative velocities or gravitational fields. Understanding and manipulating time dilation could be a crucial aspect of time travel.

Wormholes: A wormhole is a hypothetical tunnel that could connect different points in spacetime. If stable wormholes could be created or discovered, they might offer a way to access different points in time.

Exotic matter or negative energy: These are hypothetical forms of matter or energy that possess negative mass or negative energy density. The existence and manipulation of such substances could potentially be necessary for manipulating spacetime in a way that enables time travel.

Quantum mechanics: Time travel might require a deep understanding and application of quantum mechanics, which deals with the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales. Quantum effects could potentially be harnessed to manipulate the fabric of spacetime.

Advanced propulsion systems: If time travel involves physical movement through spacetime, then advanced propulsion systems capable of reaching incredibly high speeds or manipulating gravitational fields may be required.

Energy sources: Time travel, if possible, would likely require enormous amounts of energy. Developing highly efficient and powerful energy sources could be a crucial aspect of building a time-traveling machine.

It's important to note that the concepts mentioned above are highly speculative and rooted in theoretical physics. They represent the current understanding and possibilities as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. Time travel remains a topic of active scientific exploration, and any actual realization of time travel technology would require breakthroughs beyond our current comprehension.

If you could choose a trajectory that took you close to a very large black hole, such that you slingshot orbit past it and don't get sucked in, then you might be able to enter into the region around it where time dilation is very high. What do you think?

ChatGPT
The idea you've described is based on the concept of utilizing the gravitational effects near a black hole to achieve time dilation. It is true that intense gravitational fields, such as those near a black hole, can cause significant time dilation according to Einstein's theory of general relativity.

When an object approaches a massive gravitational body like a black hole and executes a close flyby or slingshot maneuver, it can experience a gravitational assist that alters its trajectory and increases its speed. This phenomenon, known as a gravitational slingshot or gravitational assist, has been employed by spacecraft to gain speed and change course using the gravitational fields of planets.

In theory, if an object were to approach a sufficiently massive black hole at the correct angle and speed, it could utilize the strong gravitational field to enter a region where time dilation is significant. Time dilation would cause time to pass more slowly for the object in comparison to an observer in a weaker gravitational field.

However, it's important to note that extreme gravitational fields near black holes are also accompanied by other phenomena such as intense tidal forces and high-energy radiation, which could pose significant challenges and dangers for any physical object or living being.

Moreover, while entering a region of high time dilation might slow down the passage of time for the object near the black hole, returning from that region to the original reference frame would be equally challenging, if not more so.

It's crucial to remember that our current understanding of black holes and their behavior is based on theoretical models and observations. As of now, we have no concrete evidence or practical means to realize time travel or explore regions of extreme time dilation around black holes. The actual feasibility and practicality of such endeavors would require significant advancements in our scientific understanding and technological capabilities.

I think there's a movie about that starring Matthew McConaughey. What's it called?

ChatGPT
The movie you are referring to is called "Interstellar." It was released in 2014 and directed by Christopher Nolan. In the film, Matthew McConaughey portrays the character Joseph Cooper, who embarks on a space mission to find a habitable planet for humanity due to Earth's deteriorating condition. The movie incorporates elements of time dilation and gravitational effects near a black hole as part of its storyline.
