WTF?

 


The trouble with certain electronic hi-tech goods is that the manufacturers often use the items abbreviated name before we even know what it is an abbreviation of.
Television was easy - it was television for many years before it became known by the more common shortened name, TV.
Nowadays though, they just drop the latest gadget on shop shelves, sell it by its abbreviated letters, and the majority of people don't know what they stand for.
It's amusing listening to nerds conversing accordingly - "I need an HPD cable for my PPD because the AFM terminal only has a XO socket which means I can't use my TCU".

WORKSHY DUDS

 


I reckon computer-based Artificial Intelligence was invented by slobs of lesser intelligence who can't be bothered doing their work properly.
It's nothing but a contrived skive..!!

SAY WHAT?

 


The phrase "You're entitled to your opinion" is very well known, is in common use, and is a factually accurate entitlement we all have.
However, certain retards who are running things globally, totally disagree with this entitlement.
Disagreeing is an entitlement too, but it doesn't entitle them to turn it into pseudo-laws to enforce upon people.

FALSE IMPRESSIONISTS

 


Governments used to commission artists to depict the horrors of war, if the artist wasn't conscripted in the first place.
Then press photography took over, followed by cine camera, followed by television footage, followed by social media mobile phone footage.
Nowadays, there is so much faked photos & footage going on, nobody knows what's really going on..!!

PRETEND PRICE TAG

 


The concept that organic produce is more expensive than non organic produce, isn't really believable.
Logic says it ought to be the other way around.
Organic means naturally grown without chemicals, without scientific modifications and produced on a small scale.
Non organic means the excessive use of chemicals, scientific modifications and produced on a gigantic scale.
This means that those who churn out non organic produce spend more on productivity requirements.
You'd think that those who spend the most would be the ones requiring a higher selling price to cover such an expense.

PAINT YOUR NOGGIN


 

I blame old classical artists for depicting heaven as nothing other than an afterlife on clouds.
All these ancient paintings with supposed godly people crammed claustrophobically on top of clouds.
Like there is a total dependency on crap weather for our afterlife in heaven..!!

20/20 VISION

If he was around today, wonder if he'd represent the British Isles by painting pictures of landfill sites and oil rigs?

CLEAN LIVING?


 

It's really ironic that much of the pollution we have in daily life is caused by cleansing chemicals.
You can see it in a small way at home.
You can see it with soap & washing up liquid which leave a filmic layer on wash basins and sinks. If you leave it for a longer length of time it becomes slimy residue that gets worse & worse.
You can see it with toothpaste after cleaning teeth. Even when you think you've washed the brush thoroughly after cleaning, time passing reveals a build up of dirty chemicals that still manage to cling to the bristles.
You can see it with washing detergent after cleaning clothes. If you leave the freshly washed clothes for a certain amount of time, the chemicals react to atmospheric conditions that leaves powdery patches of mildew on the material.
You can see it with shaving foam/gel after shaving. Even a thorough clean isn't enough to remove the layer of white chemicals stuck to the main head of the razor.
Now multiply this by billions population-wise and also imagine it on a large industrial scale globally.
Cleansing products?
Huh..!!

BLUE IS THE NEW WHITE

 


Washing powder manufacturers used to put tiny blue particles in their powder that turned white items blue.
But the thing is, advertisers had to ignore it turned whites blue and twist the sales pitch around in such a way that they made it seem like turning whites blue was an improvement.
They had their TV commercial goons ..er.. I mean actors, come out with drivel like "my clothes have a bluey-whiteness that's brighter than ever before".
It was as convincing as my illustration depicts.
Not having a TV for 12 years means I don't know if they still use this sales pitch, but I do know that pink washing liquid turns whites pink.
Not much of an improvement.

PLANNING PERMISSION

 


Local authorities who are in charge of planning permission, often use the phrase "in keeping with the surroundings" when determining whether certain structures fit in with nearby buildings and landscape.
However, they appear to apply this phrase negatively as an excuse to reject general public plans when individuals wish to build their own home to their own design.
Then the same authorities manage somehow to ignore the phrase when giving permission to companies who build large scale constructions that completely ruin the look of its surroundings.

CLONE SWEET CLONE

 


There are hundreds of housing estates around England that have never-ending rows of old-style working class identikit housing.
I think they've been around for about 2 centuries, when they were built to accommodate workers who were employed at nearby mills & factories.
Most of these mills and factories have long since gone, but a good chunk of the housing remains.
There they still are in the 3rd decade of the 21st century - ancient working class streets where endless identical terraced homes are glued together.
Walking past them has become almost like visiting to a living museum.

LITTER BUGS & MUNICIPAL MONSTERS

 


Just how blind are law makers and law enforcers?
People get fined for dropping litter, fly dumping and suchlike, which obviously the authorities see as messing the place up, being an unsightly nuisance, a public eyesore.
Which is fair enough, and I agree.
Why though, can they not see large scale public eyesores such as run-down slums, ugly derelict ground, crumbling abandoned buildings and so on.
Dropping litter is microscopic in comparison, and yet the perpetrators end up being punished.
Why are the owners of disgraceful slums, derelict ground, abandoned buildings and other visual monstosities, not punished?
Why don't the authorities go after them and instruct them to keep the place tidy and presentable.
The authorities must know who the owners are because the properties and land are registered.
Law makers and law enforcers don't seem to be able to see in front of their own face.
Either that or they deliberately turn a blind eye to these monstrosities from fear of corrupt cliques.

FILL OUT THE QUESTIONNAIRE - OR ELSE !

 


You know the UK Census Forms the populace have to fill out about every 10 years?
They are paper forms that arrive in the post and have to be returned.
I guess there must be around 30 million or so, distributed to UK's residents, and needless to say, the Cenus Forms come with threats.
Punishment awaits you if you don't comply.
But 30 million is a lot of paperwork.
They must have a really gigantic office with thousands & thousands of filing cabinets to keep them in..!!
All that, just because bureaucrats are nosy parkers..!!

Industry and skill are not the same thing.
The music industry will provide people with a sales chart - which is of no importance.
Musicians will provide people with their creative skill - which is of cultural importance.

GANGSTA CRAP

 


Isn't it so tiresome when big record corporations keep banging on about copyright, royalties etc when trying to bully us into believing that the public are depriving "artistes" of their payments after a record purchase has been made.
I'm referring to the public/fans/researchers/historians playing or sharing audio recordings from long ago, without charging a fee.
Why don't these record corporations get their own act sorted out before falsely accusing others of denying artistes their cut.
These record corporations should stop exploiting the acts they sign by giving the artistes a bigger slice of the pie and themselves taking a smaller portion.
They should also stop bribing radio stations, DJ's and TV companies to play certain records to achieve false chart positions that induce media saturation.
These same corporations should stop ripping-off the customers with such things as price fixing.
These record corporations already received their payment at the first original purchase stage.
Playing the records afterwards with no fee involved means there is no percentage cut.
Zero fee = zero profit.
Their greedy, out of touch, selfish cries are as monotonous as a cracked record stuck in a perpetual repetitive loop.

KING DON'T MEAN A THING

 


The UK National Anthem is more like a glorification of royalty than about the land-mass people live on.

Verse 1 evidence ...

God Save the King
[Verse 1:]
God save our gracious King,
Long live our noble King,
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King!

Verse's 2-3-4 has GOD defending Britain, not the King.
Verse 5 then has the King receiving free gifts, and for not having done anything deserving.
The final verse (6) is one that everyone has to stay hush-hush over because it refers to the Scottish rebellion.
Englands Field Marshal George Wade's army was ordered to crush the Scots, the verse reveals.
It was not God or the King defending the border.
Which in turn means, when they say it is the British national anthem, they really mean English, and even then, just the crown.

Fantasy island indeed.!!

NO NATIONS UNDER A GROOVE

 


Music can make you want to dance, sing, bob your head, clap your hands, tap your feet, snap your fingers and so on.
It's a natural bodily response as a consequence of interaction with the various rhythms and sounds. 
What music doesn't make you do is, stand upright to attention.
This bodily behaviour is an exclusive reserved for national anthems.
Of course, it doesn't stem from your body reacting to the dynamcs of musical sounds, but is merely derived from psychological indoctrination.
It's more connected to Pavlovian reflex experiments than expressing yourself to music.

PARTY POLITICAL PIFFLE


 

Politicians and the political press really do spout a lot of worthless nonsensical trash in the main.
They cowardly hide behind crafted wording, invent double-talk, distract with spin, dupe with catch phrases and generally just constantly tell lies.
What they process in the background out of the public arena is totally different to how they present themselves in public.
Gibber, babble, prattle, waffle, piffle is all we get, and yet we can see by their actions that what they do is something different to what they say.
Terms such as far left, far right, liberal and so on, are all valueless imaginary nonsense and irrelevant.
Red, blue, yellow, green, it's all a superficial illusion designed to divide the populace, to make people think they have choices.
Ignore all the political public hype and concentrate only on this - are they making correct decisions for their nations citizens or are they making wrong decisions?
Keeping in mind that their job is public servants, not populace controllers.

FANTASY ISLAND

 


What's British about UK's Coat Of Arms?
Not very much, it appears.

The lion is from Africa.
The unicorn is a fantasy creature and doesn't exist.
The wording isn't in English.
And the crown jewels are studded with gems sourced from elsewhere in the world.

So that just leaves...
The belt around the shield, which is a real shoddy bit of work as it doesn't have a beginning & end that connects properly.
There's a chain attached to a collar, but that usually represents slavery or being controlled.

Finally, we're taught as kids that it's rude to stick our tongues out at people.
Seems like word didn't get out to the establishment..!!

RETAIL THERAPY

 


Adverts often refer to the January sales as Winter Sale Madness, meaning, large reductions off the original price-tags.
These sales trigger strange behavior however, such as, customers camping outside a shop for days & days.
So the term "Winter Sale Madness" can also be thought of as being an actual psychological condition.
This then leads to psychiatrists getting rich by visits from such sufferers.
Whatever amount of money the bargain hunter saved in the sales is cancelled out by them having to pay psychiatric fees.
Retail therapy, with a twist..!!
