Ultra-creeps and Gummies

Creepy how paranoia can link up with reality now and then. Occasionally the occurrences happen close enough together that I feel inclined to either construct myself a nice tinfoil hat or lay down and do deep breathing exercises until I pass out.

No, I don’t have more to add on this beyond, READ THE GODDAMN NEWS.

I’ll tell ya the best part of being paranoid is that I'm reminded to protect myself—to be careful and prepared.

So, King Chucky’s having a wholly unnecessary coronation. He’s already the king, why all the pomp and circumstance (paid for by UK taxpayers)? Seems like an awful waste of buckos better spent on…oh, any number of things. Fer instance,  environmental protections, education, cats and gummies.

farsightedness caused by loss of elasticity of the lens of the eye, occurring typically in middle and old age.


Nope. Obviously, presbyopia is the ability to see Presbyterians.

The Russian military is showing yet again that they’ve got no purpose beyond destroying everything in their path including themselves.

… somehow, the still-very-real health risks inherent to lingering around certain parts of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone just didn’t sink in with Russian soldiers and their commanding officers based in Belarus, who invaded Ukraine in 2022.

Radiation sunk in, though—particularly after Russian troops dug into the zone’s heavily irradiated Red Forest.

Russia’s Chernobyl garrison was apparently hungry and went hunting and fishing around the Exclusion Zone. Notably, they reportedly fished for catfish—which had multiplied in the reactor’s water-cooling channel—and shot wild animals. Ingesting or inhaling irradiated particles can cause harmful effects much more rapidly than ambient radioactivity.

Before they boogied out of the EZ, the soldiers made sure to wreak some extra special parting damage.

Nine plant staff were killed and five more were kidnapped. Buildings were burnt down, left riddled with bullets and graffiti, or laced with concealed landmines and trip-wire booby traps. Lost equipment included nearly 700 computers, 350 vehicles and 1,500 dosimeters, totaling $135 million. (source)

And, oh yeah, a whole bunch of these assholes came down with radiation sickness. Go read the article—I’ll be here when you get back.

It’s a military made up of drunk, angry, stupid, frat boy wannabes. Did Putin put Trump in charge of his army or does Puti just not give a fuck? Is he trying to kill his own people as slowly and cruelly as possible?

Note to self: Do NOT visit or move to Russia—it's actually more dangerous than the U.S of Gun.

Ultracrepidarianism
     noun
the habit of giving opinions and advice on matters outside of one’s knowledge or competence.

…from Latin ultrā crepidam (also suprā crepidam ) “above the sole, beyond the sole,”…in allusion to Pliny the Elder's adaptation of the retort that the Greek painter Apelles made to a cobbler who was critiquing Apelles' work, nē suprā crepidam sūtor jūdicāre “let the cobbler not judge above the sandal”  (source)

That’s all interesting and amusing and shit BUT I strongly believe that the word is missing an e. That is, it should be spelled ultracreepidarianism and refers to people who persistently push their odious, not-ready-for-prime-time beliefs (political, religious, societal and what have you) on the rest of us. You know, the shitheels amongst us who make humanity a dirty word.

Just FYI, for evangelical, right wing idiot christians, EVERYTHING is outside their knowledge and competence levels. I imagine they eat their morning Cheerios with a side of ammo.
