The site will be back soon. There is a lot of things that have been on my plate that have been keeping me away from even thinking about this place, and old habits of not doing something die hard. So taste this little chunk that you are not going to read and like it. Re-posted from Jake Martinez’ Facebook. Since it was posted as a note for the world to see, I assume that there is no privacy issue on his part. I don’t care about the dumb girl involved.

I don’t know if you remember me, but I used to be your friend on here and on myspace. I just found you randomly when I was looking through picture comments, and then thought of you while watching this video. It’s so beautiful : )

Can you elaborate on why you thought of me while watching a video of Ellen Degeneres?

I thought you might appreciate it. It wasn’t that long ago that it was illegal for gay people to marry their partners, and it isn’t now. I am a Christian, but I am also an American, and I believe people deserve equal rights, no matter their age, color, gender, or sexual preference.

That is a great thing to hear. I’m glad you’ve had a change of heart.

Hi Jake,

This is difficult, but I must say it. Any sane person would just forget the whole conversation and let that be that. But I can’t, I have made you believe something that is not true. I was made to believe something that is not true. Satan is a deceitful being.
I was caught up in the “beauty” of Ellen and Portia’s relationship, and had a momentary lapse in judgment. I was deceived. I apologize for sending you that message. It was not truthful. I thought it was for a few moments, but then I remembered who I am and what I believe in. Yes, I am an American, but I am, first and foremost, a Christian. I believe in the “American Way” etc…, but when it goes against Christ’s teachings I cannot stand beside and agree with it. God’s Law is the Law that I choose to follow. You most likely do not understand, and might never, and this makes me deeply sad. But you have chosen your way of life and I have chosen mine.
I don’t hate or dislike you, or any gay person for that matter, nothing like it. I’d like to be a friend if anything. But I just don’t believe that your lifestyle, homosexuality, is right. I don’t have any defense except the Bible, which I’m sure you don’t believe. But that is where I find my comfort, way of living, strength, everything. I live and breath it. So I can’t tell you anything else other than the Bible, God’s Holy Word, says that it is not natural or right to be gay. I’m sorry I made you believe different.

Why are you messaging me?
I don’t care about your beliefs nor do I care to talk to you.
I deleted you for a reason.
Go away and preach to someone who cares.

——————–

So, this idiotic girl took it upon herself to send me a message, trying to get on my good side, and then take it back?

Look, I don’t care what the hell you believe in, God, the Devil, the fucking tooth fairy, but don’t message me and try to beg for me to re-add you after I’ve deleted you, and then do that.

She’s SUCH a Christian.
I’m sick of these Christians and their moral hypocrisy.
Keep your damn “Bible” out of my face.
I don’t preach my beliefs to you, so don’t do it to me.
Do you see me going around preaching about how I think the “Bible” is a work of fiction?
No, because I keep my mouth shut and so should you.

THANKS.

Those pesky little rich dudes at Google are just flaunting their money left and right, in this big war with Facebook over completely controlling the internet with a hostile, almost governmental system. Both these companies are deadset on a communist rule of the internet, and they’re both doing a damn good job at it. Now, Google has in beta and will release in a few weeks what serves as the AIM/Firefox/Imageshack/Skype/Everything killer…all at the same time. It is called Google Wave, and not only is it all that, but YOU CAN SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE TYPING TO YOU AS THEY TYPE IT. That’s just cool in a really possibly disturbing way. All those times where you type something “into the wrong window”…imagine cases like that getting exponentially larger.

Instead of summarizing what this thing is, I will take the Wikipedia one and just copy it on over:

The name was inspired by the Firefly television series in which a Wave is an electronic communication (often consisting of a video call or video message). During the developer preview, a number of references were made to the series such as Lars Rasmussen replying to a message with “shiny”, a word commonly used in the series to mean cool or good, and the crash message of Wave being a popular quotation from the series: “Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!”. OMG JOSS WHEDON.

Google Wave is still in active development. It is expected to continue to be so until later in 2009. It was launched to about 100,000 users on[8] 30th September. Google Wave access can be requested. Developers have been given access to Wave proper, and all wave users invited by Google can invite up to 8 others. Those who receive indirect invitations (were invited by someone who was invited by Google) are not able to invite others.

Google plans to release most of the source code as open source, allowing the public to develop its features through extensions. Google will also allow third-parties to build their own Wave services as quickly as possible (be it private or commercial) because it wants the Wave protocol to replace the e-mail protocol. Initially, Google will be the only Wave service provider, but it is hoped that, as the protocol becomes standardized and the prototype server becomes stable, other service providers will launch their own Wave services, possibly designing their own unique web-based clients as is common with many email service providers. The possibility also exists for native Wave clients to be made, as demonstrated by Google with their CLI-based console client.

1. wave model code that is a simplified version of Google’s production code and is tied to the OT code; this code will evolve into the shared code base that Google will use and expects that others will too
2. a testing and verification suite for people who want to do their own implementation (for example, for porting the code to other languages)

The hands on from the beta is…mixed. Some people claim it is the future of everything ever, which, yeah, it certainly sounds like it. Others say that it is a clunky, complicated, nearly unusable piece of junk., so, there’s that. I can see both being on display in this video, which is hilarious in itself.

Leave it to people at MIT to completely blow the minds of everyone ever. They have, if their trials are correct, have found the icebreaker of icebreakers, the slander of all ultimate slanders, the dramanuke of dramanukes, the ability to use Facebook and algorithmically discover the sexuality of every person on it. There’s no way this can be 100%, but this is both exciting and frightening. It’s the drama Hiroshima 9/11 Xenu Holocaust of dramas. And it’s coming soon to a Facebook near you.

Carter Jernigan and Behram Mistree created a software for a research project that determines someone’s sexuality from just their public Facebook info, meaning you don’t even have to friend them. How this works, I have no idea, but in 947 trials, the program found all 10 “hidden gays” in the sampling, according to the Boston Globe.

Before they release the software to the public, they still need to work out the kink they have with lesbians, which have less than perfect results. But damn…this is cool.

Apparently six million people would follow you. There is this cool application called Fan Check, which analyzes a lot of details with wall posts, status replies, chat logs, etc. and determines who are your “biggest fans” on your profile. It was cool, until a bunch of hackers decided to use it to their benefit by fooling a bunch of people (a simple google search would have made them know it’s bullcrap) into thinking it was a virus and removing it, and then downloading an application ON THEIR COMPUTER to remove the “virus”. One is not going to get a virus from having a Facebook app unless if they download something, but half the people who used that application apparently don’t get that. And now they actually have viruses. Beautiful.

12 million people were signed up on the application, that number has now gone down to 6 million, and it is currently down for “maintenance”, even though the application has nothing malicious. That said, all these websites claiming to get rid of it are giving viruses to the people who download them. They’re just shitty fake antiviruses that completely rape your computer.

The reason I know about this is…everyone on my Facebook was posting the same message that is being reported to come from hackers. “Urgent!!! The fan Check application is a Virus that takes 48 hours to kick in. Even if you are tagged in a photo the virus still attacks you. Please inform all your friends remove / delete this application ASAP…. rewrite this message and or copy and paste to all your friends.”

Last night I was having a discussion over what defines the stereotypical archetype of a typical teenage girl. This conversation jumped around every which way reaching from Jonas Brothers to Hamburger Phones, but just like every conversation involving teenage girls in 2009, it all gets back to that goddamn misogynistic sparkly vampire, Edward Cullen. The typical teenage girl is best defined by the presence of a promise ring, an air of superiority (eh, I have that too), faux-emotion, faux-”drama”, and the intense need for emotional abuse. All these contradicted by the fact that 1. they gave someone a handjob at bible camp when they were 12, 2. they cry often about insecurity, 3. they quote Taylor Swift songs on their Facebook’s about how strong they are, 4. they think they’re so much more mature than their friends are, and 5. “BOYS ARE SO STUPIDDDDDDDD EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE CUTE GUY WHO’S A TOTAL DICK WHO INSTILLS THIS BELIEF IN ME HE’S JUST FINEEEEEEE”.

Why am I posting about this? Do I sound bitter? Yeah, I’m sort of bitter. I live on my Facebook and it’s made me see things a bit differently. Just about every teenage girl fits one of these 5 criteria, but I’m not hating on a gender, cause guys have a whole other code of bullshit, but that’s finer territory to tread on and I’d rather not. But the Ashley Card’s of the world and the Names I Cannot Say on the complete other end of the spectrum are blurring into one, and yes, this is me inevitably bitching about it. Hypocritical? Quite possibly. Misanthropy is nothing without some hypocrisy.

I’m at a loss for words, Sammi. lololol

Facebook, Twitter Revolutionizing How Parents Stalk Their College-Aged Kids

After reading some rather hilarious anti-Ponyo sentiments last night from the land of Facebook, an RT friend of mine and myself went around looking for hilarious Facebook groups, he because he’s him, and I because after finding that “KILL RUSSELL BRAND” group, I’m infinitely fascinated. Thus, here is what we found. Much more upcoming.

Exhibit 1: Ponyo Has to Go

“Ponyo is just a rip off of the Disney classic The Little Mermaid. It’s a copied version of The Little Mermaid and nothing should be copied from original films unless it’s a continued version of it…u can’t just start a random thing thats very similar to an original…nooo! not acceptable. The original version was perfect, there’s no need for another interpertation of it…did i mention that MILEY CYRUS’ LITTLE SISTER is in it? yeah another reason to hate it, anything connected to miley is just evil.”

Seventeen dumbass members: Matt Bensinger, Kyra Shea, Arrielle Hall, Megan Bensinger, Caitlyn Bramble, Nicole Redko, Nick Chene, Kathleen Crawford, Sherry Bowman, Edward Budeca, Jennifer DePoorto, Maria Vultaggio, Angela Middleton, Kelly O’Dell, Katie Gork

Exhibit 2: Punch Drunk Love Is Officially The Worst Movie Ever Made!!!!!!!!!!

David Kirwan: Certified Dumbass – worst adam sandler movie ever…..besides goin overboard

Nick Helten : Pretentious Bullpucker – I don’t think this would be such a cult favorite if it weren’t for the fact that PTA directed it and that it was so strange. I tried to look beyond the odd surface of the movie for a deeper meaning, but all I could see was Adam Sandler being very unsympathetic in an unappealing love story. I also disliked the soundtrack to the film, it made me want to hit the mute button a number of times. All and all, I guess I wasn’t really entertained. I tried look deeper into it and find what’s special about it, but I just couldn’t. I guess to each his own though. If it made sense to someone else thats perfectly fine. Whether a movie is good or bad is up to the individual, and Punch Drunk Love just didn’t work for me.

Caitlin Roca : Fat Chick Who I Don’t Hate Because She’s Fat But She’s Fat Because I Hate Her – This movie is so horrible!

Other dumbasses: Alicia Lyn, Rusty Hemminger, Jess Cozaya, Vicente Lastra, Cedric Dumetz, Neil Smith , Justin King

Got anymore? Shout out, and I will disembowel.
