What grinds my gears

Tyler James Robinson is the primary suspect for the infamous assassination of Charlie Kirk, which happened on September of 2025. He was arrested in that same month. As of writing this, that was 6 months ago. One might ask: How is the lawsuit going? Well, the lawsuit has not even started yet, as of writing this, even after six months. In fact, the first  preliminary hearing  is scheduled to happen two months from now, in the 18th of may. Why is that? Because his lawyers are stalling the entire thing like mad, that's why. They are issuing motions, complaints, objections, arguments, every single possible legal tool at their disposal, to delay the proceedings as much as possible. Every single minor thing they can think of, they are throwing at the legal proceedings to try to stall them as much as possible. That's how they have managed to delay even the first preliminary hearing by 8 months after the arrest. Why? I don't really know. Standard sleazy lawyer tactics, I suppose. ...

While they are a fringe microscopic minority, there are a few American far-leftist zealots who have been brainwashed and fear-mongered so deeply and so completely that they are have or are planning to actually leave the United States and move to another country (obviously "to escape fascism"). In the few cases that do this and they do follow-ups on their new lives in those new countries, it almost invariably turns out that those other countries were not the socialist paradises that they thought they would be (and often they are shocked about how expensive and difficult it is to live there, after having lived their entire lives in the US, where everything is relatively speaking cheap and taxes are very low.) There are two rather curious things about these people that I have noticed: 1) Every single example of this that I have seen has the far-leftist move to a rich western country where, most usually, the population demographic is even more white than in the US. This even when...

A British man in his 50's is at an airport with his wife waiting for their flight to go on vacation, when a whopping six armed police officers show up to arrest him. Was he suspected of some kind of heinous crime? Robbing a store with a knife? Assaulting someone? Beating up people with a baseball bat? Threatening to kill someone or plant a bomb somewhere? Nope. They were there because of a Facebook post he had made. So surely that post must have been something very serious, like threatening to hijack or bomb the plane, or threatening to kill someone, or something like that? Nope. The cops were  suspecting  that the Facebook post was "racist" and "offensive to someone". And the kicker is that he had made that Facebook post something like six months prior, not like a couple days. After six months of the post sitting there the UK cops finally found it and decided to send a whopping six armed police officers to arrest in at an airport while he was waiting for a flig...

A notorious flat-earther, David Weiss, has for quite some time now issued a Kent Hovind style "challenge" for anybody to give him a single proof of a globe Earth, the prize being three bitcoin. What is a "Kent Hovind style challenge", you might ask? It's a type of impossible-to-win challenge that was popularized by the infamous young-Earth creationist Kent Hovind: He offered thousands of dollars for anybody who would give him a proof of the theory of evolution. The problem? Not only has he not given any description of what he would consider valid proof, but more egregiously, Kent Hovind himself is the only and sole judge of whether your proof is valid or not. Thus, it's a very easy and safe "challenge" to give: He can simply reject all proofs given to him (usually just by saying "that's not evolution") and he doesn't have to pay. Because he is the only and sole judge, he is the only person who decides whether he has to pay or not....

Jacinda Ardern was, essentially, "the Justin Trudeau of New Zealand". Indeed, just like Trudeau, she was elected Prime Minister of New Zealand, she is a raging far-leftist lunatic, and she was so incredibly proud and smug about having elected an "incredibly diverse" (her own words) cabinet for the government of the country. Which, of course, mirrors almost exactly Trudeau in Canada. And what do you know, just like Trudeau, she quickly became an absolute tyrant, curtailing freedom of speech, enacting totalitarian measures, and surprise surprise, opening up the borders of the country to almost unrestricted immigration. There was no justification for opening the borders. New Zealand's economy was doing just fine (and, in fact, was one of the richest countries in the world), birth rates were just fine, none of the go-to excuses for opening the borders applied. And what do you know, eg. in 2023 over 225 thousand immigrants were taken into the country. At the same tim...

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, American leftists are currently protesting  in support  of the Iranian totalitarian regime, which has not only been brutally oppressing its people (particularly women) for decades, but became recently world-famous for ordering its law enforcement to start shooting at protesters, killing thousands of them. A particularly egregious human rights violation and a mass murder, but which was only the top of the iceberg. It's not astonishing that American leftists are protesting in support  of the Iranian government. That's just par for the course, and to be expected. What is sad about it is precisely that: That it  is  unsurprising and completely expected, and was very easy to predict. It just goes to show how unhinged and brainwashed the American left is. If they are told to protest in support of a totalitarian oppressive regime famous for its human rights violations and for mass-murdering its own citizens for engaging in protests...

There are many videos or similar that explain something interesting and cool about some technique, procedure or invention used hundreds or even thousands of years ago that's very ingenious and achieves things that the average person usually didn't know was even possible back then. While it thankfully doesn't happen often, it irks me a bit when the narrator (or text) makes a point about how that thing was achieved "before computers" or "before modern machinery", or "before modern refrigeration systems" or, in general, before modern technology. I find it irking because of how patronizing it sounds. As if the author thought that the viewers are so stupid and so ignorant that they need to be explained that hey, computers didn't exist a hundred years ago, or that modern power tools and construction equipment didn't exist a thousand years ago, or whatever. As if we didn't know that already. I think even the most clueless, stupidest, least...
