What grinds my gears

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...

I have been writing several blog posts now calling all far-leftists pscyhopaths , and written posts about several individual people who are particularly egregious examples of this. I have been saying this many times and I am going to repeat it here: I'm not being hyperbolic, I'm not exaggerating, I'm not being "edgy", nor am I using this as just a random insult (completely disregarding what the word actually means.) Leftists do that all the time, ie. they just love to throw insults at their enemies with complete disregard to what those words mean. I don't do that. When I say that these people are psychopaths, I really mean it. And now this includes one Zara Larsson, who is one of the worst far-leftist psychopaths I have ever seen. And again: I am being 100% serious and literal here, no hyperbole, no exaggeration, nor just a random careless insult. She is  literally  one of the worst psychopaths I have ever seen. One of her fans, another total pscyhopath, wrote...

1) We can make very precise very frequent observations of the motions of the planets (which move differently from stars) and the Sun over a long period of time, which allows us to trace their exact paths to a very high degree of accuracy, and everything in the solar system matches perfectly a heliocentric model where planets orbit in slight ellipses around the Sun, and when we take into account the Sun's apparent movement on the sky, we can see that it matches perfectly what we would see if the Earth was also orbiting around the Sun, just like the other planets. This is not just mere claims, this is not speculative: This is actual real-life empirical observation and measurement to high degrees of accuracy, at frequent intervals over very long periods of time, and it matches perfectly. And not only that, but it matches perfectly what the orbits would be if we assume that the Sun exerts the same gravitational force on the planets as we can observe right here on Earth, with practical ...

One of the most evil recent developments in the consumer technology industry, which has been plaguing certain products for quite some years now, is the phenomenon of a company selling some kind of electronic household "smart" product, initially with completely unlimited access, and then later uploading a firmware update to the device (often without user consent and full knowledge of what the update is going to do) that locks some features of the device behind a paywall. It is, for all intents and purposes, ransomware: Locking the user out of some features of the device and demanding money to unlock it (and usually not just a one-time payment, but a regular subscription). It's bad and questionable enough if electronic devices have this kind of limitation from the get-go, since purchase. It's a million times more indefensible if the limitations are only pushed onto the device later, long after purchase. There are many infamous examples of this. And, apparently, this is ...

Some American far-leftists have been so indoctrinated and so deeply fear-mongered into being scared of the mythical "far right" that they think is prevalent everywhere in the country, that they have contracted literal delusional paranoia to the extent of being outright life-crippling and self-destructive. One particularly notable (and hilarious) recent example is a woman, a self-proclaimed "scholar of the far right" (whatever that's supposed to mean), who had become so utterly paranoid about said "far right" that she recently moved to Canada, for the explicitly stated reason to "flee" the "fascist" regime of the United States and the "far right". And mind you, she lived in Los Angeles, one of the most if not the most far-leftist city in the most far-leftist state of the country. It's not like she lived in some backwater rural town in the Deep South or something. She made several TikTok videos about her harrowing "...
