Isn’t that interesting ?

As I’ve mentioned over the past 6 months or so, SPAM in my email had become a major problem. 

Spam email

At one point I was getting over 100 SPAM emails per hour. That was at the height of the SPAM blast and it was very annoying.

I’d given up. No filtering that I could apply stopped the onslaught. It had gotten to the point that I didn’t even open email because my email account had been reduced to complete uselessness. 

I’d got to bed with zero SPAM email in my junkman folder and by morning there’d be 1000 and more coming in. 

I finally started just emptying the junk folders blindly. I wouldn’t even look, I’d highlight everything and hit delete.

Now, over the last few days, the SPAM email count has dropped off precipitously. I have no idea why. As I said I’d given up trying to set up filters because nothing I could do would stop more than a handful of the ever changing addresses. 

I still believe that I should be able to select specific countries to literally lock out. Pretty much every country has a specific set of IP addresses. Why shouldn’t I be able to say, “I don’t want ANY email or communications from country X, Y, or Z?” If I don’t know anyone there, am I going to be interested in email from strangers? Probably not!

The thing that annoyed more about all of this is the cost in battery, CPU time, and my time to deal with bullshit emails saying I’d won this or that, or I was eligible for a legal settlement or asking if I’d like to see some whore’s pussy or prolapsed anus.

Every one of these emails imposed a penalty on my computer, phone, and iPad performance and battery life. Not to mention sucking up cellular data if I happened to be carrying my phone outside my WiFi range. I think I should be compensated for those costs.

I’m not holding my breath, mind you, but this stuff has a real cost and consequence associated with it. Which is one reason that I think all SPAMMERS when caught should be castrated with a dull spoon.

Now suddenly, this major annoyance has pretty much dried to a trickle. In fact it’s back to the level of SPAM that I was getting before the FTC blasted my email address to fucking PayPal who then sold my information to SPAMMERS. All for a lousy $10 settlement against LifeLock.

I think the FTC and PayPal should cough up $10,000 for the inconvenience they caused me.  Again, I’m not holding my breath.

It is nonetheless interesting that as quickly as this began, it’s over. I ask the question(s) Why? & How?

Did someone just realize that their servers were wide open and insecure? Or do the SPAM lists get old enough that they’re retired?

I know it sounds like I’m looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I’m curious. Did the Russians or Ukrainians blow up a server farm???

Has China given up trying to extort me over my porn habits? They can threaten me all they want, If you get pictures of my naked ass, and like ‘em please send $2.00. Thank you!

Oh God!!!

Maybe the folks trying to extort me have decided I’m too old and not hot enough.  That would totally suck!

I’m not sure how I’d feel discovering that I was too old and gross for SPAMMERs or Hackers to try to extort money from me by threatening to post captures of me jerkin it in front of my web cam…🤣

In any case, I’m glad to not be buried in SPAM anymore. I just hope this lasts.

I heard the dog whistle on Friday

Friday on her show Deadline, Nicolle Wallace of MSNBC said, “shit is about to hit the fan in this country,” she apparently believes this because former President Donald Trump was inciting his “cesspool” MAGA base.

Nicolle Wallace

People like Wallace and Joy Reid, and too many others to list say things like this and completely miss the irony of their statements. 

When Wallace and these other talking heads effectively call the approximately 50% of the county a cesspool, you better believe folks are going to be offended. In that offense, and the divisiveness already existing in this country, if something were to happen. A mass shooting for example, or a building being burned down, then Wallace should be held to the same standards as Trump.

Trump supposedly gave a speech on Jan 6th that incited an insurrection. Wallace called half the country a cesspool because they happen to disagree with her position and that could incite violence too. So do we indict people like Wallace before or after something bad happens?

I don’t want Trump in office again, but I’ll be damned if I vote for Biden or Harris. If it comes to Trump versus a Democrat I’ll vote Trump!

That being said, I really detest these talking heads painting everyone who has had quite enough of Biden, Bidenomics, Harris, and the rest of what is clearly the worst administration in my lifetime including Nixon, Carter, Clinton, and Bush 1 & 2, and oh lets not forget the Obama years, as some kind of wrong headed piece of shit.

That is what she’s saying. She’s saying MAGA comes from a cesspool. It’s understood that the floaters on the surface of a cesspool are shit.

Isn’t her statement what the Democrat party likes to call a dog whistle? Is she trying to incite violence against anyone who is pissed off at Biden and his administration and what he’s done to our country in such a short time? Is she trying to silence dissent by demonizing and devaluing people who may be in favor of making America Great, regardless of their party affiliation.

Adam schiff

On the same show, Adam Schiff made the comment, “the Biden Inquiry is an evidence-free impeachment proceeding.” After my brain rebooted I thought, “Well asshole, you’d know all about evidence free impeachments!

Still waiting to hear or see that incontrovertible damning evidence of Trump’s Russian collusion! I’m not holding my breath, you lying sack of shit.

Hmm, Boycott!!!!

LOL! Folks are calling fror a boycott of Dove products because Dove has partnered with some morbidly obese woman who falsely claimed a fellow student at UVA said BLM should be run over. (That’s not the exact phrase but I’m using literary license otherwise this paragraph would be more tortured than it is.)

This is the face of Dove marketing to fat people.

Her name is Zyahna Bryant.

“This woman put another UVA student through hell, and it was all a woke lie. Shame on Dove for hiring her. Worse than Dylan Mulvaney,”  From a Twitter user…

“Dove Soap hired morbidly obese BLM hoaxer Zyahna Bryant for an ad campaign based around “fat liberation.” While a student at UV-Charlottesville, Bryant viciously ruined another student’s life by falsely claiming she joked about driving into BLM rioters.“ From another Twitter user.

The thing is, boycotting the Dove brand would actually be the second brand owned by Unilever that is being boycotted. Ben & Jerry’s is already in trouble with some folks.

I went to the Unilever site to see if there were any brands that I used. See, If I’m going to boycott someone… I’m gonna BOYCOTT them.

I don’t use Axe, Dove, or Ben & Jerry’s, but I need to watch what mayonnaise I buy or use.

It’s like Boycotting Bud Light… No, no, no, child…. You boycott all Anheuser-Busch products because otherwise they aren’t going to feel it.

Unfortunately, many brands are owned by relatively few multinational corporations. At some point you’re going to have to buy something from one of these corporations. I’ll tell you that their entire site has that “woke” feeling. If you’re serious about your boycotts turn the package around and look for this logo.

I’m not sure that I agree with boycotts in general, but I have to admit that the Anheuser-Busch boycott has really made a dent in their profitability.

Perhaps a similar boycott against the parent companies of woke brands is the only way to fight back.

For shits & giggles, I found that one of my cookbooks has a recipe for mayonnaise. Looks pretty darn simple… If it comes to it, I can always make my own! For the moment, there a couple other choices.

Thinking about Zyahna Bryant and her affiliation with BLM, It dawned on me that BLM & ANTIFA have gotten very quiet recently.

Isn’t that interesting?

Zyahna Bryant reminds me of very obese people within my own family they all used Dove soap. The all smelled bad because fat, and humidity in the Deep South lends itself to some nasty biological processes happening on sweaty skin surfaces. Yeasty Dove Soap smell is seared into my olfactory memory.

Seeing Zyahna Bryant, activates my scent memory and I gag. With her as the Dove spokesperson Unilever will never have to worry about me using their product.

Reportedly on Friday or Saturday she was concerned for her safety. Really? She’s too damn fat to be kidnapped. All she needs to do is sit her ass down and Hercules couldn’t move her. If she was worried about being shot, that’s not likely to happen from a legitimate media outlet asking for an interview.

For that matter, even the criminals running around with guns aren’t likely to be carrying an elephant gun so she’s safe.

Yeah, I’m being mean, but you know what? I’m sick to death of perpetual victims!
