Okay here’s a little timesaver. Consider it a PSA.

Paypalflames

The other half has a PayPal account, they also had a PayPal credit account.

On both accounts, the balances are zero, and have been for quite some time.

Based on the now retracted misinformation that PayPal sent out over the weekend, the other half decided to close the PayPal account(s) totally.

The logic here is that PayPal sent out an updated AUP which had all the language in full legalese. The other half looks at this as clear intent. This was not a mistake, as PayPal wants to frame it. This updated policy went through PayPal’s legal folks, it went through innumerable reviews and revisions and was then sent out.

No-one who has ever worked in corporate America, specifically in the software industry is ever going to believe that the changes to PayPal’s policy were a mistake, or a typo, or whatever.

Based on that knowledge, the other half decided to cut all ties with PayPal because this “misinformation” that PayPal sent out demonstrates clearly malicious intent.

The other half spent 3+ hours being bounced around PayPal trying to close the accounts. They were successful in closing the credit account. But were then transferred back to the actual PayPal people who said that the credit card was still open.

The other half gave the folks at PayPal the confirmation number indicating that the credit account was closed but the PayPal girl couldn’t confirm that even with a confirmation number. So what good is the confirmation number?

Back to the PayPal credit folks the other half is transferred. Once again a happy people personality phone system must be navigated. 

Once again there are endless recordings about working with the account online. Once again back at the credit part of PayPal it’s confirmed that the credit account is closed.

Then back to the PayPal idiots and this time the other half cuts through all the bullshit about how the updated policy was misinformation, gives the confirmation number again proving that the credit account is closed and is finally told, “Oh, you have to wait two days after closing the credit account before we can close your PayPal account.

At this point, the other half is quite heated, and points out that had someone told them that an hour and a half ago it would have been nice.

Then the other half goes for the kill.

“Since your updated policy is now classified as misinformation when can I expect my $2500? And since the person from your company I spoke with who transferred me back to the credit folks also gave me misinformation shouldn’t I be getting $5000?

The silence on the other end of the phone was deafening. The poor lady probably had heard the line about paying the customer for PayPal’s misinformation endlessly over the past few days, but I’m not sure she’d heard the additional $2500 being asked for, because their call center gave out misinformation about closing the account.

So for those of you who are rightfully trying to close PayPal accounts.

Step One, Close the credit account. 

Step Two, wait two full banking days.

Step Three, go online or call these people up and close the PayPal part of the account.

When I closed my PayPal account several years ago, I was told that the account would take 30 days to actually close. Since there was no money in the account I didn’t care, but I’d bet that you’re going to be waiting a month for your money if you have a balance in your PayPal account.

If you call, be prepared for them to tell you it was all a mistake over and over again. At one point the person the other half was talking to offered $15.00 cash to keep the account open. 

Yes folks, PayPal values you that much… A whole $15.00!

The other half told the call center person that was insulting and suggested instead adding a couple of zeros to the amount.

I think we should send PayPal an invoice for $5015.00 or perhaps for $6500.00 to be fair.

Get out of PayPal folks. It’s going to take patience and perseverance and these people will run you in little circles but in the long run seeing them go down in flames will probably be a beautiful sight.

I guess if you’ve got stock in PayPal you might want to sell it quick.

Just a little update 11/7/2022:

It turns out that PayPal has in fact instituted their 2500.00 fine for misinformation. Apparently they slid it in with stealth, like a bastard who lets their date see them put a condom on, then stealthily pulls the condom off before penetration.

This comes after PayPal Customer Service repeatedly told the other half that PayPal wasn’t going to charge anyone 2500.00.

So PayPal LIED! Isn’t that misinformation? Does that mean I could legitimately send PayPal an invoice for 5000.00? They spread misinformation TWICE! Once when they said they weren’t going to impose this ridiculous fine and now they have. By my calculation, that’s two incidents of misinformation.

PayPal caused me grievous harm lying like they have. I’ve been triggered! My little heard hurts! I’m so offended!

Yeah, I know…

I’m going to be whistling for that money.

It does highlight the hypocrisy of the left. This is one of those glaring examples of “Our Betters” getting away with exactly what they tell us is an offense.

We live in bizzaro world. Everything the left tells us is true, turns out to be almost exactly 180 degrees from the truth.

It’s time to call these asshole out, every time, on every thing, they say.

Ya know, It’s time to end PayPal.

I long ago closed my PayPal Account. I’ve avoided them like the plague since. Thinking about it, I must’ve closed that account 10 years or so ago.

I closed it because they sent out a notice telling their account holders that they’d decline to process any purchases that could be related to firearms.

I didn’t own any firearms but them telling me, the customer, that they would have final say on how I spent my money didn’t sit right. They also had some other things they’d decline to process, specifically adult oriented purchases.

To be clear, the PayPal Account I had was not a credit account. This was PayPal getting between me and the cash assets I’d deposited into their financial system.

So I thought about it for a while then pulled my cash out of their system. When the account was closed I never looked back.

PayPal hasn’t crossed my mind until yesterday.

There was an AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) released from PayPal stating that they would take $2500.00 from a user’s account if PayPal determined that the user spread “Misinformation”

There’s an article from MSN Here, and another article from Breitbart Here.

Prohibited activities include:

the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials that, in PayPal’s sole discretion, (a) are harmful, obscene, harassing, or objectionable, (b) depict or appear to depict nudity, sexual or other intimate activities, (c) depict or promote illegal drug use, (d) depict or promote violence,  criminal activity, cruelty, or self-harm (e) depict, promote, or incite hatred or discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics (e.g. race, religion, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.) (f) present a risk to user safety or wellbeing, (g) are fraudulent, promote misinformation, or are unlawful, (h) infringe the privacy, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights of any party, or (i) are otherwise unfit for publication.

That’s a pretty broad brush they’re painting with. Essentially anything that you might say which someone might take offense at could cost you 2500.00 per incident.

They can’t directly attack the First Amendment, so they’re going to silence you with fines. Imagine, you getting into a Twitter exchange where 50 Trans or Abortion activists were offended.

With this policy in place, the perpetually aggrieved could report you to PayPal and use PayPal to financially ruin you if you had an account.

People like Jordan Peterson, Kanye West, Marjorie Taylor Green, Dave Rubin, or any other conservative voice, could literally be run into bankruptcy in less than 24 hours. Hey, it’s all automatic isn’t it? All it takes is some person in a cubical hitting a “FINE” button based on every complaint lodged against someone, verified or not. Hell it could even be done with an algorithm.

The really evil part of this scheme is that the people complaining don’t get the cash. PayPal keeps it.

There’s no checks or balances.

If a person complaining could get $2500 for their complaint, but stood to loose that money if the complaint was found to be invalid, then at least the complaints might have a chance of being ‘real’. But PayPal was trying to create a completely open ended system where they cashed in with no accountability.

PayPal must be ended! I think everyone should close their accounts immediately. Don’t use PayPal even to process a credit card. Why give them any possible leverage to destroy your financial stability?

This form of manipulation must be stopped. It’s not just PayPal, banks all over the world are starting to engage in social justice instead of doing what they’re paid to do, which is hold client money and process payments.

PayPal is walking this whole thing back today. But it’s only because of the blowback. This was not a mistake, as PayPal is claiming today. This was their intention, they just didn’t anticipate that people would actually read their AUP.

Make no mistake, banks, and payment processors, particularly those in the sphere of technology are rabid social justice warriors, they’re leftists, and this may be part of the so called “Conspiracy” to make every human being subject to ESG scores.

Choose your financial institutions wisely. Don’t comply with this kind of bullshit.

Banks hold money, it is not up to them to be your parents, approving of how you spend your hard earned money.

Why the Trans agenda is wrong

A picture, as they say, is worth a 1000 words.

Oakville Trafalgar High School 75 png

This is a Canadian High School shop teacher. This also happens to be this teacher’s usual attire. This is obviously a man who not only is dressing as a woman, but is also dressing in the fashion of Japanese Anime Porn.

Aside from the caricature this man is making of a woman, and the grossness of this display.

There’s a cruelty for his male shop students as well.

The men, and I mean genetic men, reading this may remember that when they were in their teens, any passing thought of sex would generate a physical reaction. In some cases that physical reaction aside from being uncomfortable, could also be the source of teasing and embarrassment.

There is almost nothing worse than having your dick bound up in your boxers, getting hard, and then having your buddies bust your balls about it.

The ladies in the room may have similar experiences with uncontrolled arousal but having your external plumbing swelling and being strangled by your underwear is a very uncomfortable experience that all men can relate to.

Having your erection publicly called out in a classroom is humiliating and shameful enough. For guys on the larger side it’s worse, they may come to believe they’re “freaks” due to their size and develop a lot of shame and inhibitions about their bodies along the way.

A good friend of mine described feelings of shame, isolation, embarrassment, and humiliation, he developed while in school gym classes in junior high school, then later in high school, and even the Marine Corps.

He hated being called “Horse Dick”, or “Horse” when he was young.

In later adulthood, he realized it wasn’t meant to hurt him it was a somewhat envious acknowledgment of fact. Eventually he’d smile and his closest friends could call him “Horse” he’d take it as a term of friendship. It became a nickname that was used in private acknowledging the closeness of the private relationship between them. Our group of friends were of an age where nudity among friends wasn’t a big deal. Gym time, camping, getting ready for dates, being roommates, in all of these situations we were pretty uninhibited.

He told me that he’d had whores refund his money when he dropped trou.

Eventually he came to “Own” it, he once said, “he was built for large women and small cattle,” his words, not mine.

It took years for him to come to grips with his size, but he was still shy and easily embarrassed about it. He explained, he’d start a sexual encounter by telling the prospective partner, “Let’s start with a hand job and see where it goes.”

Having seen him in the shower, I can tell you his, ‘small cattle’ description was spot on.

We were close enough that I asked him once how big he was when fully erect. He said he had a solid 11 inches and was almost as thick as a coke can. This severely limited his sexual partners. Given what he looked like soft, I absolutely believe him.

The kicker is, he was one of the gentlest, kindest, souls I’ve ever has the honor of meeting. The women that refused him, missed out on something that would have been special (not because of his size,) but because he’d have been so attentive to their needs.

This male teacher appearing in class dressed like this is, in my opinion, cruel on as least two fronts.

On the first front, young men confronted with even exaggerated fake breasts, especially those with detailed nipples may lead them to fantasies they’ve constructed while looking at pornographic images of real women. This would easily cause  uncomfortable erections in class, followed by teasing from peers. One of the hardest things for a young man to do is shut down their fantasies.

Add the teasing humiliation of a boy having an erection in class due to the teacher pictured above. “You like that? You pervert!”, “Oh you’re gay for an ugly tranny? You sick fuck!” That potentially harmful baggage being loaded on a pubescent boy is really unfair.

On the second front, seeing exaggerated breasts like the ones this teacher is strapping on, may put some boys off breasts altogether. Alternatively, it may set other boys on a path to only dating women with the biggest breasts they can find. Therefore undermining the body image of the real girls in the schools.

Either way this inappropriate display on the part of the teacher may have lasting effects on the boys, and girls, creating  unhealthy associations or lifestyle choices.

Honestly, I wonder if this teacher is using this display to cause erections amongst his male students in an attempt to “Shop” for a dick he’d like to try. That would be the epitome of “Grooming”

Yet the Canadian Government says it’s the teachers right to appear in class dressed this way. The Canadian Government tells the students and their parents, they’re in the wrong for protesting.

This teacher is wearing apparel that is a workplace hazard. After all this man is working around power tools. When I was working repair of office equipment, the first thing we did was remove, or tuck our neckties into our shirts. Why? Because there was a danger of the necktie getting caught on moving parts and the necktie could potentially strangle us.

What happened to common sense? If the harness holding these fake tits in place were to be caught in one of the saws this teacher could be dragged into the saw. Regardless of the “rights” of the trans person to be trans, I think that the school could take action based on workplace safety.

What about the rights of the students in the classroom? What about the inalienable right of a student to not look at something that’s offensive or makes them uncomfortable?

How is it that a trans person’s rights are somehow more revered or important than everyone else?

This is fundamentally wrong. To be honest, this kind of exhibition demeans women. While I wouldn’t tell this man he can’t wear this kind of drag, he should keep it at home. If he and his partner are excited by this, fine but it’s in extremely poor taste.

What’s next? Trans-Species rights?

Can I declare myself a member of the fictional Romulan Empire? Should I run out to get surgery on my ears, change my eyebrows, alter my facial structure and then buy old costumes from Paramount?

Would that be accepted? Probably. Would I have rights to impose my Romulan-ness on others? Probably not.

Departing from fiction, I’m descended from Viking stock. Would I be able to embrace my Viking heritage dressing as a Viking, carrying Viking weapons in public, and settling disputes or insults at the point of a short sword? It’s my cultural inheritance need I conform to any laws other than those of my culture?

I can tell you the answer is a definite “NO”

Huh, World War III?

Art biden0429 gi

Is the Biden Administration saying?

“Lets see how far we can push Putin.”

I honestly don’t know, but you’d think they’d be at least a little concerned that Putin is being backed into a corner.

The Biden Administration and Joe Biden don’t seem to know how to properly sabotage something. Here he is painting a target on the United States.

Even if our dumbass in chief had nothing to do with what is commonly defined as sabotage. Putin will have to look no further than President Biden’s own words, before deciding to launch his ICBMs.

Uhh Dumbass in chief, you never tell someone you’re going to fuck them except in a street fight. Saying you were going to fuck Putin on international TV is probably about as stupid as it gets. Then continuing to send billions to the Ukraine to fund your proxy war is just rubbing salt in the wound.

Putin’s Ukraine war is taking more resources than Putin anticipated and he’s suffering more losses. Now with the loss of NordStream 1 & 2, he’s strapped for cash as well. Ukraine applying for expedited entry into NATO isn’t going to calm Putin down.

Have you idiots in Washington ever seen an injured wasp sting itself to death? Have you ever seen a badly injured Scorpion sting itself to death? 

Have any of you ever read Melville? 

“To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell’s heart, I stab at thee; For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.” — Herman Melville

I thought you people were supposed to be the Crème de la Crème of our educated elites. I thought you were supposed to have at least some capacity to see how one thing leads to another. Although based on your handling of the economy, apparently I’m in error.

When Hitler realized the war was lost, he killed himself. Putin has the capacity to go out in a “Blaze of Glory” and take the rest of us with him. Hitler would have launched nukes if he had them, then shot his sorry ass.

You morons in Washington need to get your shit together.

It’s time for you “Leaders” to stop ass raping the American people. Sit down, talk with Putin, Talk with Zelenskyy, and the rest of the world leaders and come to some kind of reasonable diplomatic solution.

That solution will involve compromise and not everyone is going to get everything they want. However, everyone walking away from the table with some semblance of dignity will go a long way toward not nuking the planet. 

Joe and the rest of the western leaders say climate change is the single most important issue facing us. Well I’m willing to bet that a nuclear winter classifies as catastrophic anthropogenic climate change. Of course the likelihood of anyone being around to give a shit might be fairly low.

I personally don’t think Putin is an idiot, but I do think if you give him no other choice he’d launch some or all of his nuclear weapons. Logically speaking, if he launched one, he might as well launch them all because a NATO retaliation would probably deprive him of using the rest of his stockpile.

Remember the wasp, and the scorpion I mentioned earlier???? 

Are any of you paying attention?

Invite Putin and Zelenskyy to Geneva. Guarantee their safety. Meet under the old rules of Parley and instead of telling them what they have to do, ask them how we might navigate out of this insanity. 

Then LISTEN! 

(As an aside, Trans rights, Democracy, Donald Trump, the Jan 6th hearing, green energy, abortion, and all the rest of your pet causes, will not matter in the least if this escalates.)

Do your fucking jobs, you bunch of moronic, self entitled, inbred, loads your mommas should have swallowed!

Wow, I was interested in seeing Bros… Now I wonder.

I have enjoyed Luke Macfarlane in other performances. I know nothing about Billy Eichner.

Billy Eichner has apparently tweeted his dissatisfaction about Bros opening weekend box office. It apparently wasn’t very good.

1 bros 2022

Reading what Eichner said was pretty offputting. There wasn’t any need for him to shoot his mouth off. I’d have much more respect if he’d taken the opening weekend under performance like a man and simply moved on. 

Lets face it, this movie is going to have limited appeal. That being said, the box office may have improved over the Columbus Day Holiday weekend had Eichner not sounded like such a spoiled brat.

Now, I’m thinking I’ll wait for it to be on streaming services.

It may well be funny, the trailer has some moments that look promising, but I’m not sure that I can put up with catty board room scenes with a bunch of LGBT people sitting around sniping at each other. That is something that I’ve personally had way too much of.

From the trailer, this movie appears to be steeped in elitism. Not having seen the movie itself I could be wrong. But the trailer sure had that elite feel to it.

There are other movies that are gay romantic comedies with more appeal to the average gay man.

You know, the guy who worries if he’ll be able to pay his electric bill. The guy who uses his phone with the cracked screen for a year or so, because it still works, and he doesn’t have the cash to pony up $800 for a new one.

Movies like:

In & Out
The Birdcage
If Dad Only Knew
4th Man Out
The 10 Year Plan

All of which are worth watching.  The latter two have pretty relatable characters and tell a good story. Sure they’re not mainstream but they’re nice films.

The thing is, not everyone is elite, not everyone can live in a beautiful apartment in New York, not everyone gets to sit in an office arguing over inconsequential trivialities. 

There are a lot of Gay and Bi men who do manual labor. They don’t live in high-rises sometimes not even in a single bedroom apartment. The have calluses on their hands, they’re pragmatic and don’t hang out every night in bars with a $25 cover charge.

Perhaps those same LGB people are a bit reticent to spend money at a theater to watch a bunch of elites bemoan their “horrible” lives. Maybe those Gay and Bi men are more content to buy a six pack, grab a good burger as a treat to themselves, and wait for Netflix to show the movie 6 months down the road.

Maybe, they don’t want to sit in a theater with a bunch of the LGBT community screeching and howling a a big screen. Maybe these guys have so little in common with the “normal” LGBT people that they’re uncomfortable in such a crowd.

Maybe from a personal worth perspective these guys would rather go home, shower, and sit on their couch in a clean pair of boxers with their feet up while they wonder if they’ll be able to put gas in their truck.

I can say this, after hearing Billy Eichner whine about homophobia and straight people not seeing his movie I’m less inclined to see it. That’s a pity too, because I could really use a good laugh.

Speaking of which maybe I’ll queue up If Dad Only Knew. There are some pretty funny scenes.

Mr Eichner, you really need to learn when it’s time to keep your mouth shut.
