...And that is, sometimes, sadly necessary. On 23 September 2017, I had a woman's profile like both my music and car page on Facebook AND the video game page that I help moderate/administrate as well. All within 3 minutes of each other. That is very strange...
I did some checking on this profile. It was created in November of 2016. It joined a closed music group that I am also a part of on or around 10 April 2017 and made a 'thanks for adding me' post that morning at 7:47AM CST. This individual finding my music page through that group is quite understandable and believable. If there was ever a video in that group that I liked, I would shamelessly share/post it to my own music page. I do that with every music page that I follow. More content is almost always a good thing with enthusiast/hobbyist pages. After looking through that person's profile, I can see that she's also part of several other musical groups where I'm also a member. So, that's almost certainly how she became aware of my music page's existence.
How this person found the car and video game pages (and then liked them both almost simultaneously about 2 minutes after the music page) is what leaves me feeling suspicious. I tend to keep my pages separate from each other and do not advertise them through any cross-promotion. In fact, I don't do any advertising at all. That takes time and money that I am not willing to spend.
So, how did this woman whose profile lists Inverness, Flordia as a hometown find all 3 pages in rapid succession? Is FB doing some kind of advertising without my knowledge? If so, then this woman need not worry about me being a bit suspicious. It's nothing personal, Ma'am. I just don't trust people very easily anymore. Too many hard lessons and negative life experiences.
Or, is this that shitbag stalker again?
For those of you who are new to this blog, you can read about the stalker here and here. Long story short, someone I went through basic training with almost 8 years ago now just couldn't accept the fact that I hated the military and got out. He also didn't agree with the 17 reasons that I gave for leaving in a post you can read here. After giving him the boot, this guy turned into a stalker and tried to get me kicked off Facebook. I told FB what was going on and then they gave him the boot instead. A lot of my friends also filed complaints against him for trying to impersonate me on FB and just being a creepy weirdo.
He did try apologizing months later with a message from a new profile he created but, I never responded. I didn't even know it was sent until months after the fact because it went into that 'Other' folder in my FB messages. Even those of us who know of that folder don't check it very often. He also tried creating a fan page for this blog and then foolishly made me aware of it by liking both my music and car pages. I ran him off again and blocked that fan page from seeing anything of mine on FB. I am not interested in having ANY dealings with him ever again.
Since I knew he was reading this blog, I made him very aware that I knew what he was doing and that it was going to stop. Otherwise, I'd go to his Chain of Command/Concern and file an official complaint. That would have destroyed his career. Cyberstalking is considered a felony offense under UCMJ articles 92 and 134. However, I later found out that he was already on his way out of the Army via a medical/psychological discharge. So, all I really would have done was put a rancid cherry on top of the shit sundae his life had become.
And since I know you are still occasionally reading this blog Shitbag, I strongly suggest you fuck off. Just because you're a civilian now doesn't mean you're safe from my retaliation. All that means is that I call the FBI (and certain other Federal agencies) instead of your Commanding Officer and company First Sergeant.
By the way, your parody blog (which I'm not going to bother linking to here) is pathetic. Is that what you call 'shitposting', mister? EPIC FAIL. And your spelling/grammar still sucks like a porn star trying to win the AVN award. You know how to use Google. There is ZERO excuse for you NOT knowing how to properly write and format.
What is it with all these sick fucks that I met in the service? Is their life really so uninteresting that they have to worry about mine this much? You have no one but yourselves to blame for me becoming an apostate to your false religion called 'the Army.' Of all the reasons I had for leaving (including the ones I didn't discuss in that '17 reasons' post over 3 years ago now), almost ALL of them had to do with the fact that you people are just so awful.

The Princess and the Green Beret
Once upon a time a Green Beret asked a beautiful princess, “Will you marry me?” The princess said, “NO!”
And the Green Beret lived happily ever after...
And grew a huge beard...
And got in gunfights all around the world...
And drove fast cars...
And chased busty women...
And hunted and fished and went to strip clubs and drank good beer and expensive whiskey...
And never paid alimony...
And kept his guns and house and dog...
And ate steak and cold pizza...
And never got cheated on while he was at work...
And blew enormous farts...
And all of his friends and family thought he was awesome!
And he had tons of money in the bank and ALWAYS left the toilet seat up.
THE END!!!!

Random Thoughts/Shitposting blog for 1 Oct 2017
- I'm thinking of opening a strip club with just Jewish women. I'm thinking about calling it 'The Gash Chamber'...
- Actually no, not really. I don't like strip joints. I just saw that in a YouTube comment and thought it was hilarious. My sense of humor is extraordinarily demented. It was made MUCH worse during my time in the Service too. There are some truly sick bastards in the military... :P
- I want to have the ability to turn water into wine. That ability would have a lot of intriguing applications, especially if you have control over the vintage and alcohol content. On a social level, being able to provide free alcohol would make you a lot of friends. On a tactical level, converting the water supply for an enemy base into wine could provide a good distraction. On a combative level, converting all of the water within the human body into wine would basically be an insta-kill. I guess it was a good thing that Jesus had that ability instead of me, heh?
- The writers of the Big Bang Theory have always said that Sheldon is not officially diagnosed and not necessarily an Aspie. I can see why they would tow that official line for storytelling purposes but, the viewers already know that isn't true. His behavior is obviously Aspie in an over-exaggerated sense, as this YouTube video clearly demonstrates.
- I am getting really annoyed with Facebook censoring people for posting memes that make fun of Muslims, Trannies or any other group that Democrats go out of their way to 'protect' with their identity politics BULLSHIT. That kind of crap is going to doom the platform into becoming the next MySpace. Here's 2 pictures of mine that they got Butt-Hurt over in the last few months...
And...
- In fact, I am so sick of it that now ALL of my good material that I create (or shamelessly steal from the internet) is going straight to the new profile that I just created at Minds.com earlier today. I like how they won't censor you just for posting a meme that looks bad out of context. Now, I can go Full Aspie with it all instead of having to be some lame-ass Edge Lord like on Facebook. Now, we're gonna get to the truly Top Kek material in my meme folder...
And now to go cook dinner and catch Sargon of Akkad's latest video in the long running series 'This Week in Stupid'... As soon as it's posted...

When gaming goes VERY wrong...
Sometimes, gaming can get out of hand. Let it get too out of hand and it will drive away females.
I saw this in a Facebook post earlier today and got permission to repost it here. The individual who authored this piece is an old Army buddy of mine. Knowing what I know about some of you gamers out there, I don't think this story is all that unique...
For 3 years, I was in a relationship with "C." For 2 of those years, life was pretty good.
Then, for the final year, he suddenly became obsessed with gaming. Table-top, role-playing, video, everything except board games. Now don't get me wrong, I love my D&D as much as any other red-blooded American, but C's new obsession went to some pretty ridiculous lengths. I was expected to roll with the punches, and for the first few months of this I really tried.
"Friends" started showing up unannounced, and it's not that they were bad people in of themselves but showing up for gaming sessions literally EVERY OTHER DAY was getting fucking old. They would leave their food wrappers and containers everywhere, and C refused to clean them up: It got so bad that one of our neighbors complained about insects in the building (as well as the smell of rotting food.) He started losing hours at his job, then I'm pretty sure he lost it entirely: So guess who's got two thumbs and had to take on a second job to cover BOTH OF OUR rent? This bitch.
Any time I brought up my concerns with C, or made efforts to forbid gaming in the house entirely, he basically threw a tantrum and blamed ME for the state of things. I told him to take his games elsewhere, or at least to clean up after each session, and my requests were repeatedly ignored. On one occasion, he told his friends they could have a session at our apartment without my foreknowledge or consent: He had left the door unlocked for them, I came home from a long day at my primary job to find the lot of them sitting at MY TABLE and already leaving wrappers on MY FLOOR. Again, somehow my fucking fault that they made a mess.
The last straw came when C, knowing full well that I had been working double shifts to cover ALL of our household expenses, woke me up at 0200 because he wanted me to go to L.L. Bean in Freeport with him to buy one very specific thing. It was something small and probably could have been ordered through their catalog. We fought and argued all the way there, in the store, and all the way home. I dumped him that night.
I had already met someone else. (EDITOR'S NOTE: She's speaking of her husband here. I removed his name for privacy and anonymity.)
So in his grief, he spent a month in Italy while I packed my things: Even though for the previous 4 months of us living together, C made a myriad of excuses as to why he didn't have money for his share of the rent or bills (but could somehow afford a month-long trip to Italy?)
I also made it clear to C that under no circumstances were his gaming buddies to come over without an invitation from me personally, or the police would be called and they would be removed.
A few months after I moved out, C apparently completely trashed the place so badly that our former landlord sued him for damages: Allegedly, C blamed ME for that shit-show, too. Nope, he lost. He didn't just lose, according to those close to me C rolled a pretty long string of 1's and the judge mopped the floor with him. I didn't even find out about any of that until I was deployed!
I have no idea where C is or what became of him, and quite frankly I don't really care to. I don't wish him any harm, but I don't exactly spend any sleepless nights wondering "what could have been." Nope, it took me way too long to realize that C no longer wanted to be in a relationship: C wanted a second mother.
And y'all know how I feel about being a mother: Ain't gonna fuck'n happen. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Original author decided as a teenager not to have children.)
I'm completely okay with being the "Bread-Winner" in a relationship, as long as there is some kind of mutual effort and respect there. There's a world of difference between a domestic partner and a damn parasite.
C became a parasite, and it didn't end well for him.
Don't be a C.

A lesson in morals...
A LESSON IN MORALS
One day at the end of class, little Johnny's teacher asks the class to go home and think of a story to be concluded with the moral of that story. The following day the teacher asks for the first volunteer to tell their story.
Little Suzy raises her hand. "My dad owns a farm and every Sunday we load the chicken eggs on the truck and drive into town to sell them at the market. Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump and all the eggs flew out of the basket and onto the road."
When the teacher asked for the moral of the story, Suzy replied, "Don't keep all your eggs in one basket."
Little Lucy went next. "My dad owns a farm too. Every weekend we take the chicken eggs and put them in the incubator. Last weekend only eight of the 12 eggs hatched."
Again, the teacher asked for the moral of the story. Lucy replied, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch."
Next up was little Johnny. "My uncle Ted fought in the Vietnam war, and his plane was shot down over enemy territory. He jumped out before it crashed but could only take a case of beer, a machine gun and a machete. On the way down, he drank the case of beer. Then he landed right in the middle of 100 Vietnamese soldiers. He shot 70 with his machine gun, but then he ran out of bullets. So he pulled out his machete and killed 20 more. Then the blade on his machete broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands."
The teacher looked a little shocked. After clearing her throat, she asked what possible moral there could be to this story.
"Well," Johnny replied, "Don't mess with Uncle Ted when he's been drinking..."

Constitution Day
On this day in 1787, the Constitutional Convention concluded and presented their results to the States for Ratification.
After being ratified by a majority of the States in 1788, the Constitution became the law of the land in 1789. By 1790, the two remaining States to not ratify it beforehand, Rhode Island and North Carolina, finally ratified the document as well.
The document was controversial at first, especially in New York. In response, New York's delegates (John Jay, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton) wrote 85 newspaper editorials extolling the document's virtues to the citizens using the sobriquet 'Publius'. These editorials have since become known as the Federalist Papers. Those papers have also been quite informative to numerous SCOTUS decisions since then, often cited as evidence of the Framers' original intent/interpretation of Constitutional Law.
The document was quickly amended by the first Congress and President Washington with the first 10 Amendments in 1791. This had the effect of both codifying a citizen's rights into law and addressing the concerns of the Anti-Federalist movement.
