Some dumb chick demanded that I not be "Ablist" in what I posted last night, then flatly refused to point out what it was in my post about a certain historically-unprecedented batshit crazy woman I know quite well that could be regarded as Ableist.

"You have an Internet connection," this epically-dumb chick pointed out.

"So do _you_ ," I replied. Epically dumb chick then got into it with a couple others but all three of us put together were unable to extract from Epically Dumb Chick what Ableism actually was nor why she regarded my tale of lamentation and sorrow about the batshit crazy woman I know quite well as Ableist, nor would she point out what it was in my OP that she regarded as Ableist.

It proceeded downhill from there, but after riding the Yellow Line from North Portland back into Downtown - a thirty-minute journey - quietly reflecting upon what I could post that I cold possibly hope to be more productive than to point out that she's such an Angry Dumb Cunt because she had a surgeon suture her twat shut so as to trap years of menstrual fluid that her anger and her rage might draw upon the necrosis of what at one time had been her pussy, her uterus, her Fallopian tubes as well as her ovaries.

To Wit:

Debra Harpe - after a half hour or so of quiet reflection, I Cry _BULLSHIT_ on your "Ablist" complaint. I am a Scholar and have been since I was a _very_ young boy - quite a diligent and serious one: my first really serious career goal was to be a Chemistry Professor at a University, later an Astronomer, later still to be a Physicist, eventually focussing on Elementary Particle Physics. Among my studies have been Geometry, Number Theory, Philosophy, to play and compose for the Piano, to sing and to dance in musical theater, to volunteer for political campaigns, literature, writing both fiction and non-fiction, just in this last year my writing has focussed on looking into why Ancient Greek, Roman History and Hebrew history ultimately resulted into the world we have today - specifically the Vietnam War, the Killing Fields of Cambodia, Adolf Hitler, NAZI Germany, World War II and the Holocaust. Also lifelong has been my interest in Cult Phenomena, starting with Communist Cambodia, the NAZIs, the Jonestown Guyana mass suicide in which NINE HUNDRED People's Unification Church Members took their own lives by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Ade, the Human Potential Movement by enrolling in the Beginner and Advanced LifeSpring Courses as well as its Leadership Program, the incredibly bizarre Spring 1997 mass suicide of the small, insular San Diego UFO Cult Heavens Gate, who all "Shed Their Vehicles" by eating phenobarbital-laced pudding and applesauce with Such Great Enthusiasm that they all wore Brand-New Nike Hightop Sneakers so as to be properly dressed for the occasion

Then:

But I have not the first clue what it is about my Original Post that you could _possibly_ regard as Ableist. Again for my _entire_ life I have _always_ been enthusiastically ready to engage in informed discussion and reasoned debate over absolutely _any_ topic at all, even those I regards as Morally Reprehensible.

Followed by:

But I have No Use _Whatsoever_ for small-minded cowards such as yourself, Debra Harpe, who hurl blunt, angry insults at me then flatly refuse to explain why they felt the need to do so but somehow expect _me_ to magically pull that required explanation Right Out Of My Own Ass.

Continuing on through:

There are vast multitudes of people who stand ready to enthusiastically engage in informed discussion or reasoned debate with me even over topics that _they_ regard as morally reprehensible.

The Climax:

Thus, I regard you Debra Harpe as no more significant to me or to my interests to the bright green fungus I find growing on oranges in my fridge from time to time.

The Denouement:

Good Day. Don't let the door hit yer ass on your way out, Debra Harpe.

The End: I tagged a close friend and high school classmate by the name of Ralph who is now a Psychiatrist in Hawaii. (Not _My_ Psychiatrist, rather Ralph is a friend.) He and I often engage in fascinating discussions over various minutiae of the mind mind.

What's Yer Take? Do you regard Tarring And Feathering as too good for Debra Harpe, I would you advise me to Level Debra Harpe Up to the Iron Maiden? It happens that I am quite a good welder, my father taught me both electric arc and acetylene welding when I was still in Elementary School.

My breakfast should be done Nuking right around now. Bon Apetit!

... in both my speech and my writing.

The second time I posted a kuro5hin diary then was quite puzzled to find i'd written "I liked Caltech because they had sushi there".

Tech is a technical institute; they did not have sushi there. During my studies there I never ate sushi because I regarded raw fish as disgusting.

The last two times I got a CT scan then an MRI, all three times they tested my blood and my urine

Neither the staffs of all three hospitals, nor my outpaitieny witch doctors, my shrinks nor my regular doctors has ever had the first clue as to what keeps causing this nor how to prevent it.

Just now my ER doc told me he'd prescribe Ativan, which also effective at treating brain seizures and IIRC stroke as well.

From May 2010 to July 2014 I had at least eight brain seizures, four of which led to my entering Fugue States - Wikipedia has a good article - for as long as a solid month but in my own conscious experience felt to me as if I'd been unconscious for less than a second.

That I have such a severe mental illness led one of my EMTs suggested this may be a Psycosomatic Illness. I had one such for 25 years, but when it finally occurred to me to consider it could be Psychosomatic I was delightfully puzzled to discover that I could make it go away then come back just by thinking about doing so.

That I'm so insightful about my Madness and so eloquent at writing about it leads some shrinks and witch doctors - some aren't my doctors, rather my friends - to regard me as The Second Coming Of Christ.

Just now got a cranial CT scan. Diagnostic Radiologist will give my ER doc his report in a half hour. Half hour ago took 1 mg of Ativan; two would have put me right to sleep.

If my brain scan turns up normal my doc says he'll discharge me, but this is the first time my doc will refer me to an outpatient Neurologist, from who I will request an Electroencephalograph Test.

There's a startup in Eugene Oregon which makes EEG probes that are far more zensitive tha the usu find wires with sharp ends that the poke directly into one's scalp. That Eugene companany's probes are attached to a one centimeter mesh that is draped over one's head

That Ativan is making me sleepy so I'll chill for a while.

Someone apparently hacked Drake’s Fortnite account and used racial slurs on a charity live-stream

Ninja plays Fortnite with fake Drake after Drake's account is hacked - hacker gets racist on stream

The account 'Duddus647' randomly joined Ninja's game while he was doing a charity livestream to raise money for the Ellen Fund, in collaboration with the Ellen show.

Believing that it was in fact Drake, Ninja attempted to text the rapper, saying "I'm not sure if Drake meant to invite me?" - before jumping into a game.

With the Drake account completely silent at first, Ninja began to play as normal, assuming that the star was maybe just setting up his microphone and audio.

Things seemed perfectly normal (if one of the most famous people in the world randomly joining your game of Fortnite can ever be considered 'normal'), and Ninja quickly got to taking out opponents.

Suddenly however, "Drake" broke his silence, except of course it wasn't Drake at all, but rather a hacker who had gained access to the account - and began saying the N-word repeatedly.

Drake (musician)

Aubrey Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986) known mononymously as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, and entrepreneur. His rapping ability has been noted as "polarizing", and has contributed to him being named one of the most divisive rappers of his generation by multiple critics and media publications. Drake initially gained recognition as an actor on the teen drama television series Degrassi: The Next Generation in the early 2000s.

[...] Drake holds several Billboard chart records. He has the most charted songs (186) among solo artists in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, the most simultaneously charted Hot 100 songs in a single week (27), the most time on the Hot 100 (431 weeks) and the most Hot 100 debuts in a week (22). He also has the most number one singles on the Hot Rap Songs, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Rhythmic Charts. Drake has also won three Juno Awards, six American Music Awards, and fifteen Billboard Music Awards. He is the RIAA's top certified digital singles artist and one of the world's best-selling music artists, with more than 95 million records sold globally.

My own take is that Hilary is rather more like a Staph infection.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/11/23/fox-news-guest-apologizes-saying-hillary-clinton-like-herpes/2094979002/

Were she ever actually elected President, the entire planet would get to find out if she's the Flesh-Eating variety.

My own Staph infection a while back quite fortunately responded really well to antibiotics, but before I got diagnosed with it, my Staph was doing a solid job of eating my own flesh.

I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary, then Jill Stein in the general.

Hillary Clinton calls on Europe to curb migration to halt populists

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is calling on European leaders to enact stricter immigration policies in order to counter the growing threat of right-wing populism on the continent.

“I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame,” Clinton told The Guardian in an interview published Thursday, referring to the rise of anti-immigrant politicians across Europe.

“I admire the very generous and compassionate approaches that were taken particularly by leaders like [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel," she said, "but I think it is fair to say Europe has done its part, and must send a very clear message — ‘we are not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support’ — because if we don’t deal with the migration issue it will continue to roil the body politic.”

#HillaryGraduatedFromBeingAnNPCBoss :^)

I have a great many African friends who are all nice people, except for those who live in Ghana.

I have some reason to believe that all the Ghana residents to be found on Facebook are really Just One Guy who I expect really _does_ live in Ghana. Most commonly his profile photo is Blue-Eyed Cass wearing a sexy white dress with red polka-dots.

If you do an image search for Blue-Eyed Cass, be advised that most of the hits will be NSFW.

Eventually the time comes when "she" wants to come to America to Love Me Long Time. She'll need money to obtain a passport, money to bribe some public officials, round trip plane fare and so on.

The last time I got a Facebook Romance Scammer, she had me hook, line and sinker however she was very very insistent on me sending her cash for the plane fare so she could get a really good deal from a close friend who was a travel agent. "She" was far more patient than are most scammers, one of whom went from "I work as a nanny" to "Send me an iTunes Card" in less than ten minutes. Her profile photo was a SFW photo of a generally NSFW lady.

In the end, I reported this last "lady" as well as Emmanuel Olusoji Ishola to the FBI, the Secret Service - because they handle financial crimes, not just Presidential security - and to the Bank Of America's Security people.

It was not at all long before the above-linked page as well as this one were Google's top two hits for "Emmanuel Olusoji Ishola".

I mentioned that to my shrink, who replied, "He should have known better than to mess with a computer person".

Those two pages together were getting FIFTY GOOGLE REFERRALS PER MONTH for several months. I grew concerned he'd take out a hit on my life and so planned to move out of my apartment and back under a certain bridge - in a tent, with a sleeping bag and a camp stove - but in the end didn't actually do so.

However I _will_ report that I'm quite happy with my purchase of an MSR Whisperlite International multi-fuel stove. It can take White Gas (highly refined Naptha), Unleaded Gasoline, Kerosene and Propane.

Just now my Ghanian "lady" just told me that she's "looking for a healthy relationship" so I replied that I was once married, but that Bonita and I divorced in 2008.

The very instant "she" requests an iTunes card, I'll report her to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center. I do that rather than report them to Facebook because all Facebook will do is delete their account.

American Is Killed by Bow and Arrow on Remote Indian Island

John Allen Chau had dreamed of returning to the Andaman Islands.

Mr. Chau, an American thought to be in his 20s, was fulfilling that dream last week when he set off by kayak for a remote island inhabited by a tribe whose members have killed outsiders for simply stepping on their shore.

Fishermen warned him not to go. Few outsiders had ever been there. And Indian government regulations clearly prohibited any interaction with people on the island, called North Sentinel.

But Mr. Chau pushed ahead in his kayak, which he had packed with a Bible. After that, it is a bit of a mystery what happened.

But the police say one thing is clear: Mr. Chau did not survive.

Also at NPR.

But soon realized it was a severely mentally ill woman who was hurling epithets at an imaginary enemy.

This just about always works:

"Hi! My name is Mike. What's yours?"

I am often - but not always - able to make Schizophrenics stop hallucinating. But my new friend turned away then refused to speak.

"Who's that that you're talking to? You seem pretty angry with them." But she steadfastly tightened up her irritated pout.

"It's OK to be angry when someone mistreats us."

At times during our one-sided conversation she would curse at her enemy again, but not at all at me.

Having just now gotten up from my seat on the train - actually light rail, but to actually spell out "light rail" feels burdensome - I'm pretty sure I really did sit in that woman's piss.

She and I went back and forth this way until I heard someone say "Have a good evening". Without looking away from my new friend I replied the same.

"Hey Sir!" I heard them say again, then looked up to see a young man smiling broadly while giving me a thumbs up. "Have a good evening!"

I smiled as well then returned his thumbs up.

Now I have a question for you lot:

I recently mentioned to an emergency room nurse that I do this kind of thing. "I could never do that," she replied, quite astonished.

That nurse deals on a regular basis with the ground up "Tastes Like Pork" that the Emergency Medical Technicians deliver to her ER. Surely people die in her care because they are ground up far too severely for her and her coworkers to save them.

Mom's father was a doctor she always wanted me to be one too, but I could never watch my patients die.

Yet chatting up the totally demented is no problem for me, none at all.

I am unable to reconcile that ER nurse's reaction to what I do just as easy as writing "Hello World".

What's your take?

Tylenol doesn't help. I had avoided the oxycodone because a close friend ODed. Today specifically I wanted to work, but just now I gave up on that and took 5 mg of the oxy.

My prescription says I can take up to 10 but even at my pain's very worst I never had to take that muc

It will put me to sleep within the hour. That is, as in snoozing; I don't mean to say that it will euthanize me.

Good Times.
