Bit of back story – I am 60+ years old, I look my age. I am also disabled so I need to get everything delivered.
Today I tried to get some beer delivered, they refused to deliver because I do not have any photo ID proving my age???? The law states that I can sign for the delivery without showing any ID as long I look over 25 and I am the one who placed the order. I am over 60 and look my age – who fuck do think they are?
My penis was once in the Guinness Book of Records … then the librarian told me to take it out.
I was at the doctors the other day and he said I had to stop masturbating. I ask why. He said “because I’m trying to examine you”
I have recently had a number of my comments being removed or not allowed for not meeting their ‘community standards’. I have read every single word of their so called ‘standards’ and cannot find how I have not met them and there is no way of finding out why the comments are not allowed.
As an example. One of my latest comments was in reply to someone who complained that a woman in a shopping mall was showing her midriff (navel) and should cover up.
My reply was: Should she also make sure that her ankles & legs are not showing? Should be wearing a Burka?
The comment was disallowed until I removed the word Burka. So Micro$haft has decided that the word Burka is now offensive? To whom? How about Habit, the costume a nun wears, should that be banned also? (It is not by the way).
I spent ages trying to find out how this did not meet their standards but there is absolutely no way of doing so. You have to just accept their judgment. BTW the original post was far more offensive than my reply but then it did sound like it was posted by a Fundamental Christian that took offence to everything that did not meet her personal standards.
I have cancelled my Netflix subscription.
The cost was far too high for what I was getting. I was watching at most 1 or 2 programs a month sometimes it was months between viewings. For 1c less per month I can subscribe to 2 other streaming services.
Other reasons:
I just watched an episode of Last Week Tonight and there was an segment about PACE loans for the installation of solar panels on homes. This comment is not about how the “loan” system is structured but the actual costs of installation.
A quick search of the Internet gave me some costs for both Australia & the USA. My conclusion ? Americans are getting massively ripped off.
The examples I got were:
The exchange rate as I write this is US$1.00 = A$1.3225302. Converting A$ to US$ would make:
Why is the USA cost more than 9x the AUS cost and you still have to pay tax?
Why are good guy’s, in this case the good girl, so stunningly stupid ?
I had reservation about watching this series, it is sad that they were all justified. I have watched the first 6.5 episodes of this and knew from the start how the story line was going to progress and I was right.
With heroes like this the world would be better off if the Goodies dies in the first few moments of the first episode & the rest of the story follows how the bad guy gains power, gets revenge & then dies a horrible death.
WTF. When can we get a truly original story not this repackaged shit all the time?
The acting is passable, the characters are OK, except for the male that embodies ALL the male stereotypes – believes that he is God’s gift to everyone, thinks with the wrong head and always puts his own pleasures before everyone else’s needs & welfare.
I will not be watching the remaining 1.5 episodes of this season & will hope that the show gets cancelled before we are subjected to the torture of further seasons.
I have subscriptions with a number of streaming services and I have noticed that they all have at least 1 thing in common – you cannot filter by language.
Was going through the new titles added to Prime on 4 Feb., 212 of them and of those 212 I would say that over 200 of them are in Hindi. I do not speak/read/understand Hindi and I do not like sub-titles, I have NEVER EVER even selected a non-English program on Prime but whenever I do a search I can guarantee that about 90% of the results will be in Hindi or Mandarin. I speak & read only English, I have tried to learn other languages without any success. Long ago Netflix used to show the language in the programs description, it does not any more, you have to actually start the program to find what language it is in, this is not acceptable.
I complained about this to someone a while ago and was accused of being racist, why is it racist to want to watch programs in my native tongue? I have had a Netflix account for quite some time now but will cancel my subscription as it cost 2x any other service I have and it recommends the same things every time. I have to know what I want to watch before even opening the app. this afternoon I searched for a specific title and it came in at about 15th in the list, the 1st result did not even share any words with my search criteria & the title was in Hindi, WTF?
I have Prime & Disney+ subs and their total cost is less than that for Netflix and the choices are a lot better.
I have been binge watching The Listener on Plex. Everything was going great. The series is not the best but it was entertaining, that was until about halfway through season 2 it all changed – they changed their background music. They made it so loud that it became almost impossible to hear anything else. Thank you editors & directors for fucking up a reasonable watching experience. For what? “artistic” licence? Find a new career because you fuck at this one.
Just been watching Treasure Quest Snake Island, I only have one thought – ‘What a bunch of a-holes’. They go to an archaeological site, dig it up looking for valuables, trashing anything that they are not interested in & not recording anything except on a hand held camera. So fuck any history they may be destroying as long as they can make their money.
I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons and looked forward to seasons 3 with great expectation – should not have wasted my time & effort.
Started watching the first episode and had to give up, the camera work was so shit that it was giving me a headache. When it came to the outdoor shots or scenes where you could see the whole character (not just face a shot) the cameraperson was moving so much that it seemed like they were having some sort of fit & the picture was blurred & the characters appeared to be continuously teleporting from one side of the screen to the other and back again even though they were not actually moving. Well that ruined the show for me and I will not watch another – thanks Netflix for ruining the Star Trek franchise.
I have always disliked the way most Netflix originals start – VERY slowly. It usually takes at least 1/2 a season before you get any idea of what is actually going on or there is some meaningful action but now they have included really shitty camera work & editing. I rarely watch Netflix now so I think it’s about time I saved my money and invest it in another streaming platform, just need to make my mind up about which one. Any suggestions?
