Netflix in 2006

Lolz at Netflix!!

Do you remember when the old Netflix way of mailing out discs was supposed to be the future of watching movies?? My roommate used to have this. She used to get damaged and broken discs. She ordered "The Godfather" and it looked like someone had taken a bite out of the disc!!

Does Netflix still rent discs by mail?? Does anybody even still use Netflix??

I don't want to handle piss

I had to tell my boss on Friday that I wasn't handling a cardboard box that had been dragged through piss on the bathroom floor.

Still we get along.

Don't dig up the neighborhood

I think it was Monday the construction crews were digging up the city (as they always are). The bulldozer nicked a sewer line, now the whole street smells like shit!! The city won't let kids out after 9 o'clock, but they let the bulldozer cut up our sewer line!!

Nice how the construction trucks run every stop sign on Clay Street too!! Ah life.

Five seconds away

I am about five seconds away from closing comments here for good.

"Eww!!"

You're in college, do not say "Eww!!" like you're ten!!

I was watching a video on Youtube of some college kids in the classroom, and one of them kept saying "Eww!!" because she found a string in her empty cup of pop. She said it in that very immature inflection.

Do you remember the girl in "Baby Got Back" that says "OMG Becky look at her butt, it is so big!!" That is the "inflection". It makes her sound very unintelligent and immature. I thought the girl in that song sounded immature even when I was young!!

I don't even know how to write it. Eww!! Eww?? Eww?! Eeew!!

Fake Christians

A lot of "Christians" today do not follow the Christianity I grew up with.

The Christianity that I grew up with was of love and tolerance. The "Republican Jesus" is not the Jesus that I followed. The fake "Christians" today believe in discrimination and judgement. They are authoritarian and culty, and not very Christian.

God gave me a mouth, I'm allowed to talk. If these fundies are too much of a pussy to accept this, that is their prob.

The fake "Christians" have their hand out also, and get handouts from the city and state for their cults on my dime. They were born with their hand out.

Whether you are Christian or not, parents keep your kids away from these fake "Christians".

Wish I had my old RECORDS

I wish I hadn't sold my old RECORDS!!

I had a bunch of singles I bought when I was growing up around 1987-88. We also had Footloose Soundtrack on vinyl. They were in good condition but I sold them to Phil's!!

The single mix of "Love Bites" sounded a lot better than it did on the radio. It was "punchy".

Breaking Easter Eggs

I notice on the calendar Easter is NEXT month. Who else has a relative who broke your Easter eggs because they wanted to??

We decorated Eater eggs when I was growing up, and there was one year my cousin BROKE ours on purpose. My Mom and Dad blew the yolk out of the eggs (I don't know how they did this, they just gave us hollow eggs), and after I painted one of them my cousin SMASHED it with his fist!!

I was like ten.

Two old men were getting into it today

Ah life..

An old biker man got into with an old man in a pickup truck in front of my house. The old man in the F150 got out of his truck and said to the biker, "I'll knock you down, old man." The biker shoved the pickup guy.

Neighbor guy broke them up..

Facebook sucks (Part Chetyre)

Continued from Part 3...

By this time I have lost six accounts on Facebook. So I got a SEVENTH.

I didn't do anything except post "THANK YOU" on a friend's Timeline. Within minutes, my seventh account was gone like all the rest.

When you get a Facebook account pulled, you will not be given a reason. You will be directed to a standard page of "possible" reasons. This is a list of the reasons. I did not violate any of these reasons:

"Your account must list your authentic name."

It had my real name.

"Personal accounts must represent individual people only. It's a violation of our policies to use a personal profile to represent anything other than yourself (ex: celebrities, pets, ideas, objects, etc.)."

It represented me only.

"Impersonating anyone or anything is not allowed."

Nope.

"Maintaining multiple accounts is a violation of our policies."

Nope. If an account is revoked, it is no longer "maintained".

"Accounts created for the purpose of spamming or harassing others are strictly prohibited."

Nope.

Sorry Facebook. No rules were broken by me. (Ann sticks out tongue covered with popcorn.)

The biggest social networking site in the world is now rubbish.

I have had a whirlwind of emotions this week, from anger to sadness to numbness, and I have sulked.

Facebook sucks (Part Trois)

Continued from the last part...

By this time (about five days) ago, I have had FIVE Facebook accounts yanked so I got a SIXTH. What happened next made me madder than hell.

I have some acting experience (cable access). I had already agreed to act in a medical video for patients and medical students. I have special qualifications for this role. This was a paying job. I had what they were looking for.

Then a few days ago they revoked the offer. I found out they gave it to someone who is not qualified and not what they were looking for, and doesn't have the right characteristics. (REALLY wish I had joined SAG-AFTRA!!) Guess what, the woman they gave the job to is a Trump supporter. She calls Obama supporters "retards" and "monkies" (sic).

There is speculation that I lost this job because of political pressure from the Bevin Administration. The video was to be shown in Kentucky medical schools (and to patients). "But gee Ann, Matt Bevin doesn't know you from Adam." They can find my political postings easy enough.

When I lost this job, I don't remember ever being so angry about anything. This is the worst week of my life.

I posted in the "Greater Cincinnati Politics" group on Facebook about it. Immediately I was kicked off Facebook...for the SIXTH time.

Continued in Part Quattorze...

Facebook sucks (Part Dos)

Continued From First Post...

When I lost my first Facebook account in 2011 (because I hurt the feelers of some Republican leaning assholes), I got another one and posted the same stuff. It too was yanked until finally I THINK I was on my FIFTH account!! THEN I think the "Making Drug Tests Mandatory" group shut itself down, or I didn't use Facebook as much.

BTW the "Making Drug Tests" group counted millions of users...supposedly. Most of them were sock-puppets or a bot, not real people. "The Tea Party" group was also like this.

After that I didn't use Facebook as much until a few months ago. Five years without a yanked account, I must have been doing pretty good, or Facebook had turned over a new leaf. All was well again until just maybe four days ago??

I don't suffer fools easily. I don't cater to control freaks easily. I will not follow what "authority" says...like a sheep. A lot of these people are miswired. I have heard A LOT of horror stories about other school systems locally, and had encountered horror stories myself. I posted in the popular "Northern Kentucky" group criticizing the Newport Independent Schools, because it has a reputation as one of the most authoritarian and patently political schools in the area (and they rank near the bottom in testing scores). This was a message thread where other people participated. I don't think the moderator of the group would have deleted my post...and he doesn't have the power to KICK ME OFF FACEBOOK which only Facebook can do!! Which they did!!

Did Newport Independent Schools complain to Facebook about me, and if it wasn't them, who??

(I got suspended from school for calling them "Hitler", fortunately my parents backed me up.)

So I lost a FIFTH Facebook account (and A LOT of contacts).

To Be Continued in Part Tres...

Facebook sucks

I am about to tell you folx about the most RIDICULOUS story of Facebook censorship you have ever heard of.

I joined Facebook years ago. All was well until 2011 when there was an uptick in hate groups that brought hate to millions. The first was a racist anti-Obama group, the second was the group "Make Drug Testing Mandatory for Welfare" which was also full of memes, racism, and...illogic I guess?? (The word is pronounced MEEM not MEMAY!!)

I'm not an activist type I guess?? I'm very liberal but not "marching in the streets" liberal?? I went to the Women's March and Anti-Trump March...not much else. I DID lose out on work/certifications BEFORE this happened because of my politics (gee thanks Governor Ernie) and had a lot of shit thrown my way BEFORE that even. I'm used to it. The "Make Drug Testing" group was another animal.

I have minor experience in retail. I still knew A LOT of people who worked retail (I bought snacks/candy and food in bulk). Because I worked in retail, I know what you can buy with EBT/food stamps and what you cannot buy. You can buy PRE-PACKAGED food ONLY. You CANNOT buy chewing gum with foodstamps. The "Make Drug Testing" group LIED when they said you could buy chewing gum!! I called them on the royal carpet about their hoax.

Ann (me): "Do you even know what gum is??"

You CANNOT buy non-food merchandise with foodstamps. No toilet paper, paper towels, no foil. NO hot foods. When the group said you could buy hot fried chicken with a EBT card, they LIED.

I posted my feelings and beliefs, and right away I got a PM from an older lady in Missouri threatening me with physical harm. I also got a PM message threatening me because I have a last name that's..."ethnic??" A man-child (who is local to me) saw my city in my profile and started attacking my city in a set of public postings. He said everyone who "liked" my posts was a "sock-puppet" or alias. I took down my profile picture and replaced it with April Tuna, and they attacked April Tuna.

Ann: "Think"

That was my last post...before Facebook yanked my account.

In NO WAY did I violate Facebook Terms of Service. THEY did. I DID NOT. Facebook STRICTLY PROHIBITS hate groups and hate speech. THEY did not follow the rules but THEY were NOT kicked off Facebook!!

To Be Continued...
