SHARED Photos GONE!

by Andrew Roller

If you’re a modern masturbator, your iPad is essential.  So is your iPhone.  You may type on your iPad, and you may call people on your phone.  But every few hours or so ( if you’re a stud, like me ) you need your iPad to jerk off!  Hence, your iPad is like water.  As The Economist magazine has said of water, “There is no substitute.”

Today, I suffered a crisis.  I didn’t get bombed or shot.  But, as I was jerking off, the photos in my “Shared Albums” vanished!  This happened on my iPad.

I’m using a 12.9 inch Apple iPad Pro.  ( It’s not quite as long as my dick, but it’s close! )  I’m running Apple’s latest system software:  iPadOS 15.4. 

Here’s what happened.  I opened a “Shared Album” of photos.  My photos were there.  Then, before my eyes, my photos vanished!  I scrolled up in my “Shared Album”.  I saw more of my photos.  Then, they vanished too!  I imaged a psychopath censoring my photos, as I was looking at them!  ( As if I were still on You Tube, and being abused by their staff! )

In 2019, I was new to the modern internet.  I knew nothing.  In a situation like this, I would have called Apple.  

When I knew nothing, Apple was helpful.  However, the more I learned, the more I discovered that Apple employs idiots.  So, don’t call Apple.  However dumb you think you are, they’re dumber.

The staff at an Apple store is no better.  They have one answer for you:  “Let’s erase your iPad!”  Then, you get sent home.  

At home, you have to ( re ) start the process of downloading your backup from Apple’s iCloud.  The download will take over a week.  Probably, you’ll get so desperate with the length of the download that you’ll cut it off, and console yourself with whatever has come in so far.

I researched my problem on the internet.  The least helpful advice was that published by Apple.  

Advice from Apple’s “Support Communities”, written by its customers, was better.  However, I couldn’t find the answer I needed from anyone. 

My solution is below.  I wish to begin with several notes:

1.  Nothing that I recommend will delete, or alter, any of your photos.  Your photos are stored in your “camera roll” in your Photos app.  I am only helping you restore your photos to your “Shared Albums”.

2.  At a certain point in this process, Apple will give you a warning.  The warning will tell you that you’re about to delete your photos.  The warning isn’t true.  Ignore it. 

3.  All of the photos in my “Shared Albums” are screenshots that were taken by me.  That is, someone, somewhere, took a photo.  I found it on the internet.  I took a screenshot of it.  

From the point of view of Apple’s software, the screenshot was created by me.  That is, it’s “my” photo.  It’s not “my” photo in terms of copyright law.  However, it’s “my” photo from the point of view of Apple’s software.

( Language is imprecise.  Given Apple’s scanty printed help, one can plunge down endless avenues of meaning, when trying to follow their instructions. ) 

4.  I don’t have photos from anyone else in my “Shared Albums”. 

( Additional technical problems can arise if you’re sharing photos with other creators. )

5.  You may need to follow my steps ( below ) more than once.

6.  It may take time for your photos to return to “Shared Albums”.  However, my experience is the following:

The photos in my “Shared Albums” only returned when I forced them to.  They returned right away.  

7.  This article has several endings, as I continued to work on my “Shared Albums”.  You’ll like the final result.


MY SOLUTION

1.  Back up your iPad.

2.  Go to Settings > “[ Your name ] Apple ID, iCloud, Media & Purchases” ] > iCloud > Photos > Shared Albums.

3.  “Shared Albums” should be turned on.  That is, you see green where the slide bar is.

4.  Tap the slide bar.  ( It doesn’t slide back and forth.  You have to tap it. )

5.  Whoa!  A notice from Apple appears.  You likely just cursed me.  The notice says:

“Turning off Shared Albums will delete all shared photos from your iPad.” 

Below this is written:

“Cancel” and “OK”.

6.  Press “OK”.  ( “Shared Albums” is now turned off. )

7.  Turn off your iPad.

8.  Turn on your iPad.

9.  In Settings ( where you just were ), tap the slide bar for “Shared Albums”.  This turns “Shared Albums” back on.

According to Google, the photos will now reappear in your “Shared Albums”.  That is, you can start jerking off again!

Except, that’s not what happened to me.  My photos in “Shared Albums” were still gone!

Go to “Library” in your “Photos” app.  Pick any photo.  Add it to one of your “Shared Albums”.  When you do, all of the photos that were in that “Shared Album” will reappear!  You can now jerk off to them!


ADDING A PHOTO

Let’s add a photo to a “Shared Album”.

1.  Open a photo in “Library” in your “Photos” app.  That is, pop it open and look at it.

2.  Look to the upper right corner of your iPad.  There, you’ll see a blue icon.  It’s an icon of a box.  An arrow is sticking up out of the top of the box.

3.  Tap on the icon of the box with the arrow.

4.  An informational box appears.  The box is titled, “1 Photo Selected”.  Look down in this informational box.  Find this:

“Add to Shared Album”.

5.  Tap on “Add to Shared Album”.

6.  A new, smaller informational box appears.  It’s titled, “iCloud”.  At the bottom of the box, the following is written:  “Shared Album”.  To the right of “Shared Album” is the name of your “Shared Album”.  For instance, your album might be called, “Jerkoff Paradise”.

If you want a different “Shared Album”, tap on the phrase, “Jerkoff Paradise”.  The informational box changes.  You’ll now see other “Shared Albums” in the informational box.  Scroll down in the informational box to whichever “Shared Album” you want. 

In the informational box, I tapped on a “Shared Album”.  It’s called “Nude Beauties”. 

Whoa!  The informational box changed again.  It now looks like it did when I tapped on the phrase, “Jerkoff Paradise”.  Except:  it now reads, in that part of the box, “Nude Beauties”.

7.  Look to the top of this informational box.  You’ll see this word:  “Post”.  

8.  Tap on “Post”.

At this point, you’ll likely rush to your “Shared Album” that’s called “Nude Beauties”.  You’ll open it.  You’ll see the photo that you just added to “Nude Beauties.”  But!  All your other photos in this album will still be gone!  You’ll curse me.  ( Again! )

9.  Sit tight!  Watch!  All of your vanished photos begin to appear!  Soon, they’re all there!

10.  There’s another way to add a photo to a “Shared Album”.  You do it in your “Photos” app.  

In your “Photos” app, open a “Shared Album”.  Then, in that “Shared Album”, scroll to the box that has the “plus” ( + ) sign in it.  Tap on the “plus” ( + ) sign.  Follow the prompts.


I have some more notes:

1.  You’ll likely try a shortcut.  You’ll try to add a photo to “Shared Albums”, without first going into “Settings”.  Sadly, the shortcut does nothing.

2.  When my shortcut failed, I entered “Settings”.  There, I turned “Shared Albums” off.  Then, I turned my iPad off.  I turned my iPad back on.  I entered “Settings” again.  There, I turned “Shared Albums” on.  

3.  After this, I opened my “Photos” app.  In “Photos”, I went to “Shared Albums”.  My videos had returned!  They were little white boxes.  However, if I opened a video, and played it, the video played!

Unfortunately, my photos were still gone.  I had to then add a new photo to each of my “Shared Albums” to force my photos to return.


CONCLUSION

“Shared Album” has one useful purpose.  Download a porn video from a web site.  Then, add your porn video to a “Shared Album”.  You can now watch your video!  That is, you can watch it without a “play” arrow appearing in your video, when you stop it.  You can watch your video at its full size.  

If you put your video into iMovie, you can watch it there.  No “play” arrow will appear.  However, in iMovie, your video is shown in a small format.  

NOTE:  You can watch a video in iMovie in super slow motion, by dragging the video along with your finger.  Drag your finger in the space below the filmstrip of your video.  Be careful!  Touching the filmstrip itself can cause iMovie to want to edit your video. 

What about individual photos?  Do not use a “Shared Album” for individual photos!  That is, don’t put a photo into a “Shared Album”, unless you actually want to share it!  If you’re just putting photos into albums for yourself ( to masturbate ), use “My Albums”. 


ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS

1.  Most, but not all, of my photos are returning to my “Shared Albums”.  


2.  I’m unable to recover photos that I added to “Shared Albums” AFTER my ( original ) photos vanished from “Shared Albums”.  

That is, I tried my shortcut ( mentioned above ).  I was successful in adding new photos to “Shared Albums”.  However, that didn’t bring back my ( original ) photos in “Shared Albums”. 

( Hence, I had to go into “Settings”.  Then, I turned my iPad off, and back on.  Then I went back into “Settings”. )

As a result, I have three sets of photos in my “Shared Albums”:

A.  The ( original ) photos.

B.  New photos that I added as a “shortcut”.  ( Which didn’t work. )

C.  New photos that I added after following my steps ( above ).

The photos in category “A.” are sometimes present, and sometimes gone.

The photos in category “B.” remain missing from “Shared Albums”.

The photos in category “C” are present.  ( Forget the past!  All that matters is now! )  ( Sure.  Just be woke, gay, and a woman, if you’re actually a man. )


3.  I got a message for a video in category “B.” that reads:

“Unable to Load Video

“An error occurred while loading a higher quality version of this video.

“OK”.

It was the only video in category “B.”


4.  The fundamental problem with the photos in my “Shared Albums” is as follows:

They refuse to download from Apple’s iCloud to my iPad.

However, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection.  There is nothing wrong with my iCloud account.  How do I know this?  All of my photos are optimized.  ( In “Settings”. )  If I had the problems just mentioned, I’d be getting crappy versions of my photos when I look at them in “My Albums”.  In fact, all of my photos in “My Albums” are downloading instantly, in full quality.

Hence, I don’t have a final solution for your missing photos in “Shared Albums”.  When I began writing this article, I thought I did!  Hopefully, my article will assist you in getting back to your normal life, as a jerk-off.  ( Like me! )


A CONSOLATION

All of your photos that are in your “Shared Albums” still exist in your “camera roll”, in your “Photos” app.  “Shared Photos” is simply an organizational tool for your existing photos. 

The photos that had reappeared in my “Shared Albums” are now vanishing again.  Maybe Vladimir Pukin’ is stealing my photos, and masturbating to them!

( I have super hot photos of Ukrainian girls! ) 

Some photos continue to vanish from “Shared Albums”.  By adding a new photo to a “Shared Album”, I can make some of my vanished photos reappear.  ( Yet again! )  


MORE HELP

1.  Add a photo to a “Shared Album”.

2.  Look at the sidebar in your “Photos” app.  Tap on the name of a “Shared Album” UNDER the one that you just added the photo to.

3.  Now, tap on the name of the “Shared Album” that you added your photo to.

4.  Keep doing this, back and forth.  The ( original ) photos will begin to appear in the “Shared Album” that you just added a photo to!

NOTE:  When you add a photo to a “Shared Album”, the name of that album moves to the top of the sidebar.  It does this in the section of the sidebar titled, “Shared Albums”.


GREAT NEWS!

1.  All of my ( original ) photos have returned to “Shared Albums”.  They returned because I followed my steps ( above ).  ( Including my steps in “MORE HELP”, directly above. )

I’m speaking of my photos in category “A.”.  ( Above. )


2.  The new photos that I added, as part of a “shortcut” ( that didn’t work ), have not returned to my “Shared Albums”.  Since I made these screenshots today, I simply reloaded them into my “Shared Albums”.  ( Right now. )

I’m speaking of my photos in category “B.”.  ( Above. )

However, one “Shared Album” refused to accept these photos.  As a result, I put these particular photos into a different “Shared Album”.

3.  The new photos that I added, after following my steps ( above ), can go into any “Shared Album”.  I can handle them like any photo that I’m adding to a “Shared Album”. 

I’m speaking of my photos in category “C.”.  ( Above. )

As a result, I now have all my photos back!

OOOOPS!

Now, I lost all my sperm!

As former Attorney General William Barr says, “One Damn Thing After Another”.


FREE SEX and SCI-FI

Some of the items that have percolated through my life are the following:

The 1975 film, “Story of O”.

The T.V. series, which began in 1975, called, “Space:  1999”.

The T.V. series, which began in 1967, called “The Prisoner”.

I did not necessarily watch these when they first appeared.  

Endless people have, after jerking off to it, criticized the 1975 film, “Story of O”.  In my opinion, the 1975 film “Story of O” remains the most moving tribute to bondage fantasies.

“Space:  1999” has been knocked for being based on a faulty scientific premise.  ( You’ll see it when it happens. )  

“The Prisoner” has been acclaimed by everyone.  It’s likely more relevant today than ever.

You can watch the above at the following links:

1.  Story of O:

https://www.shoutfactorytv.com/the-story-of-o/5d8e75b4d90e8c5bf62b6447


2.  Space:  1999:

https://www.shoutfactorytv.com/videos?utf8=%E2%9C%93&commit=submit&q=space%3A++1999


3.  The Prisoner:  

https://www.shoutfactorytv.com/videos?utf8=%E2%9C%93&commit=submit&q=the+prisoner

( Scroll down.  When you get to “The Prisoner”, you’ll find that its episodes are listed in reverse order. )

If you go to Shout Factory’s main page, you won’t be able to locate “Story of O”.  In that case, use Google to get to “Story of O” at Shout Factory.

The version of “Story of O” at Shout Factory is very high quality!  Unfortunately, you can’t download it.

To download a high quality version of “Story of O”, go to the following web site:

https://spankbang ( dot ) com/s/story+of+o/

At Spank Bang, look for the actual movie “Story of O”.  Ignore ( for now ) other items bearing the title “Story of O”.

I downloaded several copies of the actual “Story of O” movie.  Some had poor visual quality.  One had nice video quality!  I’m not sure which copy had nice visual quality.  So, download everything, and look at them when they arrive.

The title of “Story of O”, as downloaded, that has nice visual quality is:

SpankBang ( dot ) com_the+story+of+o_720p

( I inserted ( dot ), so as not to create a direct link. )

You’ve probably tried various “Free T.V.” services.  You’ve found that they’re so loaded with advertisements that they’re worthless.

A week ago, I recommended Shout Factory to the nude model Kay J.  At the time, I found no advertisements at all on Shout Factory.

Today, the situation was different.  Each Shout Factory video has an advertisement at its start.  However, once the ad ends, you can scroll through the video to its end.  You don’t encounter more ads.

I’ve yet to actually sit and watch anything at Shout Factory.  It’s wonderful, however, knowing it’s there!

I’m still waiting for a streaming service other than ( Pee ) You Tube to host the 1973 T.V. series, “The Starlost”.  ( People have knocked “The Starlost”.  However, in the 1970s, it was outstanding! )


FREE BOOKS!

You can sign up for free books.

Link:  https://hourlyhistory.com/free/

Hourly History books are ground out like hamburger.  I’ve never read one.  However, every week, I download their free books.  Their books have very nice covers!

Hourly History may be located in Bulgaria.

Link:  https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.hourly_history_limited_eood.d17952e9668f6fdb2ddcf4f07bf03339.html


HOW to GET Your FREE BOOKS

Every week, an e-mail arrives in my “Mail” app.  It’s from Hourly History.  Using their e-mail, I access Hourly History’s web site.  Their web site then takes me to Amazon ( dot ) com.  I download Hourly History’s books from Amazon ( dot ) com.

There is no charge and no obligation.  The books are free!


NOTES:

1.  Once, Amazon’s software screwed up.  It wanted to charge me for a free book.  So, I didn’t download that particular book.  This problem occurred some years ago.

2.  Occasionally, Hourly History forgets to e-mail me. 

3.  An e-mail from Hourly History is valid from Friday morning through Saturday evening. 

4.  Hourly History’s books may be stored as a group in your Amazon Kindle app.  If you think an Hourly History book is missing, click around in “Library”, in Kindle.  See if your “missing” book is, in fact, stored in a group of books.

Example:

The book:  Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury.  Modernly, this book is also known as “Greentown Book 2”.  It is always present in my Kindle app.  However, it is always lost in my Kindle app.  I can only access it by typing the book’s title into my Kindle’s “Search” field.

“Something Wicked This Way Comes” is not a book by “Hourly History”.

FREE Great COURSES!

Educate yourself after the end.

by Andrew Roller

I’m worried.  I could lose $19.93.  How?  I have two credits with Amazon’s “Audible” company.  If Russia’s Vladimir Pukin’ blows up the world, I won’t be able to spend my two credits!

I decided to act.  ( Unlike our president, Joke Bidet. )  I launched my Audible app.  Yep!  My two unspent credits were there.  In Audible’s “Search” field, I entered the following:

the great courses

Audible proceeded to list 724 audio books.  All of them were for lectures in the series known as “The Great Courses”.

But wait!  Some courses, that I recently paid $9.96 each for, were now listed as “Included”.  That means they’re free!  ( To Audible subscribers. )

An empty box was at the top of the list of Great Courses.  The box is titled, “Included in your membership(s)”.

I tapped the box.  This put a checkmark in it. 

The list of Great Courses changed.  Now, only 278 were listed.  However, they’re all free!  The range of available Great Courses is astonishing.  It ranges from “The Early Middle Ages” to “American Monsters”.  I’ve yet to add all of the listed courses to my Audible library.  Downloading them all could fill up my iPad’s hard disk!

However, if Pukin’ ends civilization, I’ll still be able to educate myself.  I’ll be able to do so by listening to The Great Courses on my iPad.  ( Assuming my iPad’s battery doesn’t run dry. )  ( Also, assuming I’m not busy looking at downloaded porn. )

LETTERS to LAURA

by Andrew Roller

The cable T.V. channel known as the Fox News Channel annoys some people.  Until recently, I found Fox News to be mostly enjoyable.  I agreed with some hosts, and not with others.  A particular host’s comments might please me on one day, but not on another day.

For instance, in the past, I’ve generally agreed with the Fox News host Tucker Carlson.  However, when Carlson went on a six month rant about the late Jeffrey Epstein, I stopped watching Tucker Carlson for half a year.

I try to abide by the following rule:  Each of us has something positive to contribute.  With regard to an individual, take from him what you like, and ignore the rest.  

Or, at least, try to ignore the rest.  That becomes acutely difficult with someone like Vladimir Pukin’.  Ignore Russia’s dictator, and you could wind up dead.

Pukin’s attack on Ukraine, using Russian soldiers, has alienated me from some Fox News hosts.  I’ve e-mailed these hosts, using foxnews ( dot ) com.

Link:  https://www.foxnews.com/contact

The link ( above ) works very well.  You get a nice auto-reply in your e-mail app.  My impression is that my e-mails to Fox News get read.

Below, I’ve reproduced some of my e-mails to the Fox News host Laura Ingraham.  Her T.V. show is called, “The Ingraham Angle”.  I lightly edited my remarks to make them more readable.  


FIRST LETTER

February 25, 2022

Subject:  Laura Ingrate:  Xenophobic Nutcase. 

Dear Laura Ingrate,

Here is the gist of your monologue on February 25, 2022:

“The United States must not spend [ the paltry sum of ] 6.4 billion dollars [ only some of which directly helps Ukraine ].”

Meanwhile, on the Fox News app:

1.  “Children reported dead [ in Ukraine, from the Russian onslaught ].”

2.  “Ukrainian mom pleads for help from bomb shelter [ in Ukraine ].”

Laura, I’ve written your monologue for this coming Monday.  Here it is:

“I, Laura Ingrate, am a nutcase.  My show has nothing to do with anything except American xenophobia.”

Sorry Laura, but that’s the truth.

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller 


SECOND LETTER 

February 28, 2022

Subject:  Your disgraceful comments!

T.V. show:  The Ingrate Angle, February 28, 2022, and prior episodes.

Dear Laura Ingrate,

I have watched your show from the first episode.  Now that I no longer have a television, or cable T.V., I watch your show every night.

How?  I go to foxnews ( dot ) com.  I watch all of Tucker Carlson’s videos.  Then, I watch all of your videos.  ( I usually skip Hannity.  He is a bloviator. ) 

This Monday, you again complained about sending money to Ukraine.  I’m speaking of financial assistance that the U.S. government plans to provide to Ukraine.

Stunningly, you want the U.S. to provide no money to Ukraine.  You even complained about providing money for humanitarian assistance!

It’s easy to extrapolate from your position to historical facts.  By the time the U.S. reached Hitler’s death camps, most of the Jews in them were dead.  Other Jews were alive, but beyond help.  They were destined to die, no matter what anyone did for them.  ( The human body, if left unfed long enough, cannot recover, even when food is provided. )  Many Jews were walking skeletons.

The Jews in Hitler’s death camps weren’t Americans.  They weren’t members of NATO.  I guess a generous person, like yourself, would have said of these Jews, “Let them die.”

But America didn’t let them die.  America offered help, and some Jews survived.  A number of them emigrated to America. 

I hope you never again claim to be a protector of children, or of moms.  Your own remarks have condemned you as America’s Scrooge.  

Laura Ingrate on Tiny Tim:  “Let him eat cake!”

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller 


THIRD LETTER

Subject:  Don’t Ukrainian kids matter?

T.V. show:  The Ingrate Angle.  March 2, 2022.

Dear Laura Ingrate,

Tonight, you criticized our president for leading his State of the Union address with the subject of Ukraine.

You then said, “People … care about kids.”

Laura, children are being killed in Ukraine by cluster bombs.  Don’t they matter?

I guess, for you, reveling in the Mardi Gras bacchanal matters more than dead children, or children who are maimed for life. 

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller 


FOURTH LETTER

March 2, 2022

Subject:  Thank you for your fine monologue.

T.V. show:  The Ingraham Angle.  March 2, 2022.

Dear Laura Ingraham,

Thank you for your fine monologue, “Joe Blows it Again.” 

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller 


FIFTH LETTER

March 3, 2022

Subject:  You were right, Laura!

Dear Laura Ingrate,

You were right, and I was wrong.

In your recent monologues, you have posed the following question:

Why should Americans care about Ukraine?

Your answer:  We shouldn’t.

You opposed sending any weapons to Ukraine.

You opposed sending any humanitarian aid to Ukraine, OR to nearby countries.

The result?

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine is on fire.  It is on fire because Russia’s soldiers shelled it.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has six nuclear blocks.  The Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which melted down in 1986, producing a nuclear catastrophe, only had one nuclear block.

Laura, I had no idea that you wanted grandchildren who were mutants!

I sincerely apologize for not being an “America First!” person like you.

We should all want our children to have three eyes, one arm, and no genitals.

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller

SEVENTH LETTER

March 9, 2022

Subject:  Dead children, and free radiation for Laura Ingrate.

Hi, Laura Ingrate!

You style yourself, in your broadcasts, as a protector of kids and moms.

Last night, you objected to America banning the importation of Russian oil. 

You don’t want to have to pay more to fill up the gas tank of your car.

( Never mind that trains, planes, and buses are available. )

( I ride the bus, and the trolley. )

Guess what, Laura?  Russia just bombed a maternity hospital, and a children’s hospital, in Ukraine.

Also, Russia has cut off the electricity to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, in Ukraine.  That could mean that nuclear radiation will soon be falling on children around the world.  ( And on you. )

Happy?

Perhaps Fox News should cease funding your odious speech.

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller 


EIGHTH LETTER

March 9, 2022

Subject:  Redemption for Laura!

Dear Laura Ingrate,

I have great news for you!

Tonight, redemption is possible, for your soiled soul.

Put on Senator Tom Cotton, of Arkansas.

( I just heard him on “America Reports”, on the Fox News channel.  Via foxnews.com. )

Let Cotton talk, for as long as he wants to.

As for you, benefit the world by keeping your mouth shut.

Thank you!

Andrew Roller


NINTH LETTER

March 10, 2022

Dear Laura Ingrate,

Invite the following guests onto your show to speak about Russia’s attack on Ukraine:

1.  Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

2.  Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas.

( I just saw Newt Gingrich on the Fox Business channel.  Via fox business .com )

Are you willing to hear from real Americans, or just from narcissistic naval-gazers like yourself?

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller


TENTH LETTER

March 9, 2022

Subject:  Protecting Children

Dear Laura Ingrate,

Here is a quote from you:

“Children are innocent, and their innocence should be protected.”

Source:  Laura Ingrate.  The Ingrate Angle, March 9, 2022.

My response:

At last!  

I look forward to your show tonight, Laura.  I expect you to advocate for ( truly ) protecting children, by sending America’s soldiers, sailors, and airmen to Ukraine!

Or are you just a sexually obsessed nut?  ( Especially regarding children. )

Your quote is from your video:  “Schools peddle gender ideology instead of teaching math and science”.

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller


ELEVENTH LETTER

March 10, 2022

Subject:  Appalled!   

Dear Laura Ingrate,

I was appalled by your broadcast of March 9, 2022. 

You were, once again, utterly uncaring about what is happening in Ukraine.  This on a day when Russia bombed a maternity hospital, and a children’s hospital. 

Here is yet another guest for your show:  Ambassador Nikki Haley.  Unlike you, Haley has a soul.

( I just saw Nikki Haley on “America Reports”.  March 10, 2022.  Via foxnews.com. )

Nikki Haley:  “The America I know will do anything and everything to help a freedom-loving country. … 

“[ The Russians need to know that ] they need to end this war, or we will do everything we can to destroy them.”

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller


TWELFTH LETTER

March 11, 2022

Subject:  Invite Mitt Romney to speak on Ukraine!

Dear Laura Ingrate,

Who did you support for president in 2012?

Was it Mitt Romney?  It was!

Guess what, Laura?  You can have Mitt Romney on your show tonight!  He can speak to you about Ukraine!

Isn’t that wonderful?  Even better, Mitt Romney ( unlike you ) is a true American, regarding Ukraine!

Romney:  “It’s time for him ( Pukin’ ) to be fearful of what we might do.”

Romney supports sending MiG-29 jets to Ukraine.

My opinion:  Since America did not, in fact, honor its “security commitments” to Ukraine, America should return Ukraine’s nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

So far, Laura, your show, during this war, has been a paean to conspicuous consumption.  It’s time to show true compassion for Ukrainians, and to help them protect their children from being murdered and maimed.  

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller


THIRTEENTH LETTER

March 13, 2022

Subject:  Laura’s Insane Obsession.

Dear Laura Ingrate,

Here is a quote from today’s Fox News app:  “…Russia launched deadly strike on evacuee train carrying 100 children.”

Meanwhile, children are starving in Mariupol.  A six-year-old girl in Mariupol died due to having no water to drink.

I’ve begun to understand Florida’s law regarding what students in grade school can learn, regarding their intimate feelings.  ( Thanks to Dan Bongino. )  The law that you complained about, in two of your broadcasts last week, is ridiculous!

Start worrying about children who are actually in danger, and who are being murdered and maimed.

You’re obsession with children’s sexuality is insane.

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller


FOURTEENTH LETTER

March 13, 2022

Subject:  Laura’s clothing.

Dear Laura Ingrate,

You have criticized humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

You have criticized military aid for Ukraine.

You have criticized humanitarian aid for countries who are accepting Ukrainian refugees.

You have criticized people who attempt to support Ukraine, by putting the Ukrainian flag, or Ukrainian colors, in the windows of their businesses and homes.

You have criticized the media for taking the time to cover Ukraine.

However, in the past week, you have worn very nice dresses on your T.V. show. 

( That’s meant as a compliment.  Even if it is further evidence of your desire for conspicuous consumption. )

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller


FIFTEENTH LETTER

March 13, 2022

Subject:  Laura’s grade.

Dear Laura,

Here is your grade, based on the following test:

“Ukraine, and the defense of democracy, is the moral test of our time.”

Andrew Roller


SIXTEENTH LETTER

March 17, 2022

Subject:  Laura Ingrate, sex criminal.

Dear Laura Ingrate,

I watched your monologue on The Ingrate Angle on March 16, 2022.  In your monologue, you mentioned Senator Mitt Romney.  Romney has called for a no-fly zone over Ukraine.  With regard to this, you told Romney, 

“Pay for it yourself.”  

Laura, it is one thing to be against a no-fly zone because it might trigger a nuclear war.  It’s quite another thing to be against a no-fly zone because it costs money!

You gave Romney your cutting reply on a day when Russia bombed a theater, in Ukraine.  Hundreds of “young children”, according to Fox News, were sheltering in the theater.  It was feared that all of the children were dead.  ( In fact, the children, in the theater’s basement, narrowly survived.  Some children were injured. )

You have touted yourself, on numerous occasions, as being a protector of children.  You are not.

Your sole interest in children is in their sexuality.  You wish to repress it.

But what is your own sexual history?  According to Google, you have three children.  You’ve never been married.  So, you are, by traditional standards, an odious sinner.  Sex out of wedlock, especially for a woman, was, until recently, a horrid sin.  It puts you in the same moral category as women who are sexual tramps, and prostitutes.

Laura, by the standards of traditional religiosity, you don’t belong on T.V.  You belong in prison, as a sex criminal.

It is ridiculous for Fox News, a traditionalist channel, to pay a sex criminal ( you ) to lecture us about protecting children.  Especially when you care nothing about actually protecting children!

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller


OVERHEARD

I was in the U.S. Air Force.  The motto of the U.S. Air Force is, “To fly and to fight.”

The Russians can’t fly or fight.  All the Russians can do is murder civilians.


AND IN THE END…

A Message from the Government of the United States of America:

It has come to our attention that child molesters are now armed with nuclear weapons.  Therefore, we will no longer be prosecuting so-called “horrific crimes against children”.  

We do not want to be provocative toward nuclear armed child molesters, or to engage in actions that child molesters might deem to be escalatory.

THE 1970s are CALLING…

Or:  What’s ( Not ) So Great About America.

by Andrew Roller

I was alive in the 1970s.  There were some wonderful aspects of the 1970s.  Specifically, photos of Brooke Shields in the nude, at age 10.  Also, the movie, starring Brooke Shields, called “Pretty Baby”. 

Unfortunately, “The Harris Biden Administration” is not bringing us sequels to naked Brooke, or to “Pretty Baby”.  “Harris Biden” is plaguing us with everything bad that the 1970s embodied. 

Specifically:

1.  Inflation.  Prices skyrocketed in the 1970s.  The price of a comic book went from 12 cents to 60 cents. 

2.  ( Actual ) crime.  In the past, I walked about San Diego late at night.  I now go indoors before sunset.  I feel like Will Smith in the film, “I Am Legend”.

3.  A lost war overseas.  In the early 1970s, America withdrew all of its troops from South East Asia.  By 1975, Cambodia, Laos, and South Vietnam had fallen to the Communists.

In 2021, “The Harris Biden Administration” lost our embassy in Afghanistan.  It has now ended our diplomatic presence in the entire country of Ukraine.  Currently, America’s diplomatic presence for Ukraine is in Poland!  I wonder what George Patton and John Wayne would think of that! 

4.  Conservation.  In the 1970s, the Arabs imposed an oil embargo on America.  The embargo took America by surprise.  As a result, there was a shortage of oil in America.  The price of gasoline skyrocketed. 

When the “Harris Biden” ( mis ) administration began, “Harris Biden” stopped the Keystone Pipeline.  This was an American project that would have made lots of additional oil available in America.  ( While also creating many American jobs. )  Even today, “Harris Biden” refuses to resume work on the Keystone Pipeline.  This despite the fact that, in January of 2021, I wrote to Joke Bidet ( Joe Biden ), telling him to continue work on the Keystone Pipeline.  ( I guess Joke Bidet wrote me off as a wanker… )

“Harris Biden” has harmed America’s oil and gas industries in many ways.  The list of harms is too long for me to recite here. 

Now, “Harris Biden” has ( at last ) imposed ( some ) sanctions on Vladimir Putin’s murderous regime in Russia.  But “Harris Biden” still refuses to resume work on the Keystone Pipeline!  It also continues to harm the oil and gas industry.  

“Harris Biden” claims that they’re going to ‘work toward renewable energy’.  That’s a pipe dream.  We, as humans, are living in the Oil Age.  We’re not leaving the Oil Age anytime soon.  There is no “Back to the Future” car that is fueled by garbage.  The sun shines on some days, but not on others.  The wind blows on some days, but not on others.  How is an electric car powered?  By plugging it into a wall.  Where does that electricity come from?  Unless it’s from a nuclear power plant, it comes from an electric plant that burns oil, or coal.

“Harris Biden” attempted a sleight of hand on Americans.  When it shut down the Keystone Pipeline, it didn’t provide renewable energy in its place.  Instead, “Harris Biden” begged Russia, and the Arabs, to pump more oil!  That’s like stealing from the drug store, instead of from the grocery store.  It does nothing to reduce overall “climate change” emissions.  

Currently, oil that isn’t delivered by the Keystone Pipeline is delivered by trucks.  Trucks have to burn gasoline to make their deliveries.  Trucks, burning gasoline, create more “climate changing” emissions than a pipeline would! 

China is the number one producer of “climate change” emissions.  It is rapidly building more electric plants that burn coal!  America could reduce its “climate change” emissions to zero, and it wouldn’t matter, since China is increasing its “climate change” emissions.  The electric plants that it is building, that burn coal, will operate for decades to come. 

“Climate change” science is not a statement of certainties.  In other words, burning fossil fuels won’t necessarily heat up the Earth.  Antarctica is very cold.  A very cold ocean circulates around Antarctica.  As long as this continues, Earth will remain cold.  

What could warm Earth?  A change in how ocean currents circulate.  If cold polar water went to the equator, and warm equatorial water went to the south pole, then Earth would warm.  There is no prospect of that happening in our future.

Earth, in its ancient past, was much warmer than it is now.  Palm trees thrived on the northern coast of Siberia.  I live in San Diego.  I was cold, in my room, all winter.  I’m still cold.  My heating bills have been astronomical.  I want a warmer Earth now.  I lived in Guam for six years.  Guam has a fabulous climate.  It is 89 degrees every day, throughout the year.  The humidity is high.  That’s a good climate.  Anything less warm than that should be outlawed.  

Furthermore, once you’ve lived in Guam for some years, you no longer want air conditioning.  As a result, you don’t have a bill for air conditioning.  Also, obviously, you don’t have a heating bill.   If you get caught in the rain, you’re dry in ten minutes.  Climatologically, you’re living in Eden.  “Harris Biden” should pledge to burn as much fossil fuel as necessary, until Siberia has the climate of Guam.  Then we, as humans, would burn much LESS fossil fuel.  That’s because we wouldn’t have to heat or cool our homes.

But what about the polar bear?  The polar bear would not survive in such a climate.  But what is a polar bear?  It’s an ordinary bear that moved north.  It adapted to our ( currently ) cold climate.  On a warmer Earth, all life, including the polar bear, would adapt to a warm climate!  Life on Earth will continue, whether Earth is warm, like Guam, or a freezer that keeps me shivering in San Diego. 

As your president, I promise to deliver naked 10-year-olds, great movies about child prostitution, and Eden.  There will be no inflation.  There will be no ( actual ) crime.  Only the good parts of the 1970s will be restored.

And, to quote David Brooks, “I promise you Christmas every day!”

( Oops!  I guess, like Hillary Clinton, I’ve immodestly read my presidential inaugural address. )


POINTS of ORDER 

Understanding the war in Ukraine.

by Andrew Roller 

Here is my interpretation of several events in the war by Russia against Ukraine.  ( Better described as an unprovoked attack by Vladimir Putin on Ukraine. )

1.  The “Harris Biden” administration offered to remove the president of Ukraine from Ukraine.

That sounds like a humanitarian offer.  It wasn’t.  “Harris Biden” hoped that the following would happen:

A.  The United States removes Ukraine’s president from Ukraine.

B.  The opposition of the Ukrainian people, to the invasion by Russia, collapses.

Why would “Harris Biden” want the Ukrainians to stop fighting Russia?  Here’s why:

a.  “Harris Biden” hoped that Russian aggression would end.  That is, that it would not spread beyond Ukraine.

( Putin had yet to threaten Finland and Sweden.  Putin’s ruminations about the Baltics, and about Poland, could be written off as non-threatening conjectures. )

b.  “Harris Biden” had, up to then, cared only about imposing “woke” policies on America.  The greatest threat to America, in their view, wasn’t Putin, but ( domestic ) “White rage”.  Never mind that Putin is White and, apparently, enraged over Ukraine.  ( Putin is enraged over his failure, so far, to steal Ukraine. ) 


2.  Putin held back his best soldiers. 

Why wouldn’t Putin send his best soldiers into Ukraine?  Here’s why:

A.  Putin is using “cannon fodder” soldiers in his initial attacks on Ukraine.  These are young Russian men who were:

a.  Forced to join Russia’s military.

AND, in some cases:

b.  Forced to remain in Russia’s military after their terms of enlistment expired.  

B.  One must always keep a “reserve” of troops.  These are usually an army’s best troops.  Once you commit your “reserve”, you’ve got nothing left. 

C.  Putin planned to save his best troops to threaten, and possibly invade, the Baltics.  If he was successful there, he would have invaded Poland.  And, if he was successful in Poland, he would have invaded Germany.  Germany currently has no army.


3.  “We don’t know who to shoot.  They all look like us!”  This was spoken by a Russian soldier, as he and his comrades invaded Ukraine. 

This is a sad commentary on the state of humanity.  There wasn’t much ( effective ) fuss about Russia slaughtering civilians in Syria.  After all, they’re brown, and Muslims.  There’s even less fuss when Black Africans are being slaughtered.  

Compared to Ukraine, there was little fuss when Whites were being slaughtered in the Balkans.  ( Until America finally intervened. )  The Whites in the Balkans were, mostly, not God-fearing Christians, but Satan-inspired Muslims.  ( I guess. ) 

If you’re going to be kidnapped or bombed, it’s best if you’re White, young, female, and blonde!  Save Barbie! 


4.  Putin’s Russians aren’t fighting like Hitler’s Germans.  Why?

A.  Germany lost World War I.  This was a bitter defeat for Germany.  That’s because Germany had fought for four long years, in World War I.  World War I was a “hot” war; millions of soldiers were killed.  Also, Germany’s loss, in World War I, led to an economic depression.

Russia lost the Cold War.  However, this was a bloodless loss.  Russia didn’t go into an economic depression after it lost the Cold War.  Russia opened to the West, and life in Russia improved!

B.  Hitler spent many years propagandizing his people prior to launching World War II.  Putin gave one rambling speech, hours before invading Ukraine.  Many people regarded Putin’s speech as nuts.  

That being said, history can be interpreted in many ways.  However, when you’re a leader, your population has to believe your interpretation.  It also has to agree with what you’re saying!  Furthermore, your population can’t just agree intellectually.  They have to agree emotionally, at the gut level.  As Mark Shields said,

“When Cicero spoke, the Romans said, ‘That was a fine speech.’

“When Julius Caesar spoke, the Romans said, ‘Let us march!’” 


GUERRILLA TACTICS

Russia’s army is far larger and, at least on paper, far more powerful than Ukraine’s.  Here’s how the Ukrainians fought back:

1.  The Ukrainians fought the Russians at their border but, ultimately, let the Russians invade.

2.  The Ukrainians then attacked in the rear of Russia’s invading forces.  Specifically, the Ukrainians attacked the supply lines for Russia’s forces.  This cut off the Russians from their supplies of food, water, ammunition, and fuel.

3.  A soldier can ( allegedly ) fight for some time without food.  However, he must have water.  He must have ammunition.  Also, his vehicle must have fuel. 

In essence, the Ukrainians let the Russian invaders into a trap.  Once the Russians were in the trap, it sprang shut.  The Russians were reduced to nothing but ordinary men, in uniforms.

TACTICAL HUMOR

The following joke is about World War II.  It was told to me in the 1970s.  It is not politically correct.

The Germans invaded Poland.  However, the Poles were smart.  They threw dynamite at the Germans.

But, ah!  The Germans were smarter!  They lit the dynamite, and threw it back at the Poles.

( Poland was woefully unprepared for German aggression.  Polish negligence in this matter extended to their foreign policy which, for a time, collaborated with Hitler’s Germany.  Poland, along with Hitler’s Germany, invaded Czechoslovakia. )

LIVE from KYIV!

I just watched the sun rise over Kyiv, Ukraine.  You can too!  Here’s how:

1.  Look at your “Home Screen”.  This is on your iPad, or on your iPhone.

2.  Find the app called ( the Apple ) “App Store.” 

3.  Tap on “App Store”.  

4.  In the App Store’s “Search” field, enter “fox news”.

5.  A new page opens.  Find the app titled, “Fox News:  U.S. & World Headlines”. 

6.  Tap on “GET” to download the app.  The app is free.

7.  Launch the Fox News app.  When it opens, look at the top of the page that’s displayed.  Near the bottom of what you see, on your screen, is the following:  “LIVE”.  

8.  Tap on “LIVE”.  A view of Kyiv, Ukraine, appears on your screen.

9.  You’ll see a white arrow in the middle of your screen.  Tap anywhere on your screen to get rid of the arrow. 

10.  There is no sound. 

11.  There is nothing to listen to.  Nobody will talk.  This is simply a live shot of Kyiv, Ukraine.  Kyiv’s golden domes are visible on the right side of your screen. 

Fox News has been providing this live shot for a number of days.  I thank Fox News very much for this view!  However, it took me days to figure out what was on my screen.  I instantly identified the view as being of Kyiv, Ukraine.  However, I thought it was part of ongoing coverage by Fox News.  I was deeply frustrated by the lack of sound!  I thought I was supposed to be listening as someone talked about the situation in Ukraine! 

This is a lesson to Fox News and to technology companies.  If it takes me days to figure out what your “great, world-changing app” does, that app is nearly worthless.  Many times, I left this view of Kyiv in frustration, not understanding what was being provided.  Also, I figured Fox News was trying to get money from me in some way. 

Fox News needs to create an internet web site that a person can visit to watch the news.  This web site must be free, and it must broadcast 24 hours a day.

How will Fox News get paid for such a web site?  Run advertisements!  

I will never pay $30.00 or more, per month, to a cable T.V. provider, to watch the Fox News Channel.  Why?

1.  I don’t want the other channels that cable T.V. “provides”.  I’m not paying to have worthless trash delivered to me.  ( The other cable channels are worthless trash, based on my viewing needs. )

2.  The Fox News Channel is loaded with ads!  One gets a few minutes of news, or conversation about the news.  Then, Fox News runs ads.  ( “Balance of Nature”, etc. )  Then, Cox cable runs its own ads.  That’s five minutes of ads!  I would have to be a moron to pay for cable T.V., and then pay again, with my time, to watch hundreds of ads.  Ads waste my time.  If Fox News is on a mission to morally improve America ( from its biased viewpoint ), Fox News should charge nothing for its content!  Did Jesus charge people to listen to him?  No!  Did George Washington pause the Revolutionary War to run advertisements?  No!  Did Americans storming the beaches of Normandy tell the Germans, “Excuse us, we need to run an ad for ‘Balance of Nature’?  No.  ( The troops only ran ads for urethral catheters, not for “Balance of Nature”. ) 

3.  I don’t own a television.  I have no plans to own a television ever again!  My iPad is my T.V.  ( And, for what its worth ( nothing ), I have Apple T.V. on my iPad. )

4.  I have no control over the Fox News Channel, as it arrives on a television.  Foxnews ( dot ) com doesn’t provide a live stream.  However, I can watch the ( dated ) videos there when I like, as often as I like.  ( Until Fox News removes them. )  I can make screen recordings of my favorite videos.  This is a far superior viewing experience than running a television all day, with its hundreds of ads.


OVERHEARD

Just because the law refuses to recognize an act as being consensual, doesn’t mean that the act wasn’t, in fact, consensual! 

Consent is, in the law, a political statement, with its objective being social engineering.  It is not a statement of truth. 

( I use the same public restroom as many astute bums.  I hear many profound things there. )

ARCANA

1.  “What’s So Great About America” is a book by Dinesh D’Souza.  

I considered D’Souza to be a bright guy, until he spoke on T.V. about a subject that I had first hand knowledge of.  Everything he said on the subject was wrong.  ( The subject had something to do with the moral decline of America, in regard to young girls; I forget exactly what. )  On that day, I realized D’Souza was merely a propagandist.  

D’Souza has, sadly, gone from being an interesting young man to an aging crank.  ( Thomas Sowell is on the same path. ) 


2.  The 2007 film, I Am Legend, is based on a superb novel by Richard Matheson.  Matheson’s novel, I Am Legend, was published in 1954. 

Prior films, based on the same novel, are:

A.  Omega Man.  Released in 1971.  Charlton Heston stars. 

When I lived with my parents, they abjured modern culture.  We almost never went to the movies.  I was forbidden to watch any movie that wasn’t rated “G”.  ( In the event, no theater was nearby, anywhere we lived. )  

I tried to watch movies on television.  My father forced me to turn Omega Man off, within a minute or so of it beginning to air.

As a result, I am a morally wholesome person.


B.  The Last Man on Earth.  Released in 1964.  Vincent Price stars.

Link to movies based on the book, I Am Legend:  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend_(film)


3.  Vladimir Putin is the “President” ( actually, the dictator ) of Russia.  He is currently threatening to blow up the world, with nuclear weapons, if he doesn’t get what he wants.  Talk about demanding!


4.  David Brooks is, last I wasted time with him, an erstwhile Republican.  He decided, like Joe Scarfborough, to become a Democrat propagandist.

THE Return of WORLD War II

by Andrew Roller

Today’s events are like a sequel to a bad movie.  In World War II, the ( eventual ) allies were terrified of fighting another war.  The result?  Adolf Hitler, Germany’s leader, ran wild through Europe.  Millions of people were killed, throughout the world.

Today, the West is terrified of fighting a nuclear war.  The result?  Vladimir Putin, Russia’s leader, is running wild in Ukraine.  There seems to be little to stop him from taking as much of Europe as he dares to. 

“Deterrence”, as practiced by the West, amounted to smoke and mirrors.  Yes, the West could “nuke” Russia, and Russia’s new ally, China.  But Russia and China would simply “nuke” the West in response.  Nuclear radiation would girdle the globe, and human life would end. 

( Earth, which abides, would continue:  new life forms would evolve, until our expanding Sun makes all life on Earth impossible. ) 

America was the crucial lynchpin in the West’s deterrence.  Sadly, Joe Biden failed to provide an adequate deterrence to Russia.  Joe Biden, in essence, broke the mirror, in my allusion to smoke and mirrors. 

Today, Russia could easily invade the Baltic states.  It could overwhelm Poland’s army.  History is able to provide a plausible excuse to Russia doing both.  In fact, history could be used to justify Russia taking back all of its territory that it occupied at the end of World War II. 

Would Russia stop there?  Let’s ask Israel’s erstwhile leader, Menachem Begin.  He was told that history did not justify his ambitions for Israel.  Begin’s reply was as follows:

“I will create new facts!”  He meant new facts on the ground, in terms of advancing Israeli settlements into land claimed by the Arabs.  ( Who, in fact, claim all of Israel’s land as their own. ) 

If Begin can create “new facts”, why couldn’t Hitler?  Why can’t Putin?  

Hitler didn’t get his idea for conquest, and extermination, out of the blue.  He read about White Europeans creating new facts in America, by killing Indians, and then settling on Indian land.  If Europeans can create new facts in America, why can’t Russians create new facts in Europe? 

“Kennewick Man”, an ancient skeleton, created an uncomfortable fact for America’s Indians.  Its skull is 8,000 to 9,000 years old.  It appears to be a skull of a Caucasian, not an Indian.  It was found in America in 1996.  This upset Indian claims that they were the first, and sole, inhabitants of America.  

In 2015, DNA testing found that Kennewick Man is most closely associated with America’s Indians.  His troublesome remains have since been buried, in a ( conveniently ) undisclosed location.  

The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act ( NAGPRA ) is “designed to … refuse scientific study on” Indian remains.  In 2005, the late United States Senator John McCain introduced an amendment to NAGPRA.  It would have:   

”Changed the definition of ‘Native American’ from being that which ‘is indigenous to the United States’ to [ that which ] ‘is or was indigenous to the United States.’  By [ this ] definition, Kennewick Man would have been classified as Native American regardless of whether any link to a contemporary tribe could be found.” 

Hence, with regard to a skeleton that was Caucasian, the following Federal rules would have applied:

1.  No one would be allowed to study the skeleton.

2.  The skeleton must be handed over to Native Americans.  ( Who, possessing it, can “bury” it or, indeed, destroy it. )

So much for “following the science”.  If McCain had succeeded, politics, a substitute for war, would have determined Kennewick Man’s fate.  In essence, the “facts” about Kennewick Man would have become “new facts”.  Those new facts would have been determined by a form of warfare.  ( Politics. ) 

The relevant Congress adjourned before McCain was able to get his amendment to NAGPRA enacted.

Humans have moved about the Earth for hundreds of thousands of years.  Humans will continue to move about the Earth.  The state, despite its buildings and flags, is a fiction.  The state is a concept in Man’s mind.  It’s time that we, as a species, recognize our true past, and consider the Earth, in its entirety, to be the property of all.

The alternative may be our annihilation.  Let’s leave a “suicide solution” to Ozzy Osbourne’s nihilistic imagination. 


OVERHEARD

Fox News:  We dominate cable T.V.!

The Modern Viewer:  Nobody watches cable T.V. anymore.


AND IN THE END…

1.  WHY Native AMERICANS are SUPERIOR to HONKEYS

“It was an advantage as well as a distinction to have stolen a wife … Among the North American Indians the women were included in the spoils of war, and this happened so frequently that in some tribes the husbands and their wives spoke mutually unintelligible languages.” 

- Will Durant.

Source:  The Complete Story of Civilization, by Will Durant.  Page 79.  Simon and Schuster.  New York, New York.  United States of America.  Copyright 1975.  The first book in this multi-volume series was published in 1935.  

As Whites, we must work to improve our race.  This begins by cherishing the man who steals a girl to be his wife. 


2.  ON MARRIAGE

“The father owns the daughter, and may dispose of her, within broad limits, as he sees fit.  The Orinoco Indians expressed the matter by saying that the suitor should pay the father for rearing the girl for his use.  

“Sometimes the girl was exhibited to potential suitors in a bride-show; so among the Somalis the bride, richly caparisoned, was led about on horseback or on foot, in an atmosphere heavily perfumed to stir the suitors to a handsome price.

“There is no record of women objecting to marriage by purchase; on the contrary, they took keen pride in the sums paid for them, and scorned the woman who gave herself in marriage without a price; they believed that in a ‘love-match’ the villainous male was getting too much for nothing.” 

- Will Durant.

2.  After “Kennewick Man” was discovered, the Clinton Administration dumped tons of boulders on the site where “Kennewick Man” was found.  This crushed any additional such remains, before they could be discovered.  It also prevented further scientific exploration at the site.

4.  “Suicide Solution”, by Ozzy Osbourne, is a song from his debut album, in 1980, called “Blizzard of Ozz”.


5.  At the close of the Cold War, a Russian diplomat said, of NATO, “Navies, Armies, Tanks, Obsolete”!  He was selling the notion that, in effect, history had ended.  

The notion that history had ended was advocated by a book of that era.  The book is called, “The End of History”.  According to “The End of History”, humanity had entered a Kumbaya Era.  In it, all nations ( that mattered ) would be peace-loving democracies, forever.  

Today, NATO may be proving the Russian diplomat correct, but in an unexpected way.  NATO is, allegedly, powerful.  However, its member states can’t agree on how to handle Russian aggression.  In Federalist Number 70, Alexander Hamilton warns against ‘plurality in the executive’.  What’s that?  It’s equivalent to having two presidents of something, simultaneously. 

NATO doesn’t have two presidents.  It has 30 presidents.  ( 30 member states. )  Having too many presidents of something is embodied in this quote:  “Too many cooks spoil the soup”.  

NATO is, allegedly, a powerful force.  It has lots of ‘Indians’.  But it has many ‘Chiefs’ too.  The ‘Chiefs’ can’t agree on how, and when, to deploy NATO.  As a result, NATO may prove to be ‘a paper tiger’ against Russia.  NATO, like America, is proving to be a paper tiger with regard to stopping Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

You’ve likely heard the following phrase:

“It’s not what you have, it’s how you use it.”  A country that can’t fight, or won’t fight, can’t win.  Especially when that country has tried diplomacy, and failed.  Such is life in the West, under Joke Bidet.  ( Joe Biden. )


6.  The End of History is by Francis Fuku ( yama ).  Date of publication:  1992. 

If my name was Fukuyama, and I lived in Canada, I’d change my name.  I’d shorten it.

HOW to WATCH the WAR 

Free live news coverage on your iPad and iPhone.

Russia has launched a “full scale” war against Ukraine.  This is according to media reports.  Russian missiles have struck Ukraine.  The areas that have been struck include Ukraine’s capitol, Kyiv.

Girls who live in Kyiv, Ukraine, are: 

1.  Dana Taranova ( Danatar ).

Kay J is also on Instgram and on Twitter.


Russian tanks, missile launchers, and armored personnel carriers have crossed the Belarussian border, into Ukraine.  They are heading in the direction of Kyiv.  They could arrive in Kyiv in three hours.

The highway heading west, out of Kyiv, is currently jammed with cars.

If you wish to watch free, live American news coverage, go to these web sites:

nbcnews.com  

( NBC News.  The National Broadcasting Network. )

OR 

abcnewsgo.com  

( ABC News.  The American Broadcasting Network. ) 

Google keyword:  live news coverage now

When the video stream appears, there will be no sound.

Tap on the video ( box ).  In the lower left corner of the video box is an icon.  It’s an icon of a megaphone.  An “x” is present beside the megaphone.

Tap on the icon of the megaphone.  That will get rid of the “x”.  Now, your video stream will have sound!

There is no cost.  You can watch, and listen, for as long as you like!

( Unless your internet service is cut off by the war. ) 

Other news streaming sites are available.  However, the two that I listed ( above ) are the best ones that I found.  

Currently, NBC News is better than ABC News.  That’s because NBC News has a reporter on the roof of a building in Kyiv.  She is a top quality reporter.  

Twitter may also be an option.  However, I have not yet been on Twitter ( in my life ).

Tonight, I began watching the war on Fox News, at foxnews ( dot ) com.  However, all that Fox News offered me was a “free preview”.  It was excellent.  However, after a handful of minutes, Fox News ended my free preview.  Fox News told me that I had to contact a cable T.V. provider to watch Fox News.  

Previously, I’ve researched this option.  It’s impossible to subscribe to Fox News!  Fox News is NOT available, by itself, thorugh a cable T.V. provider.  I would have to sign up, via cable T.V., for Fox News, PLUS 29 other cable channels.  That would cost me at least $30 a month.  All I want to watch is Fox News.  I have absolutely no desire, or time, to watch T.V. channels like the Hallmark Channel.

Fox Nation is worthless.  It doesn’t stream live news.  The fact that Tucker Carlson does interviews on Fox Nation doesn’t redeem the fact that it’s worthless.  Fox Nation consists mostly of crime, cooking, and tourist videos ( of American locales ).

Speaking of Tucker Carlson, I watched his broadcast of February 23, 2022.  Tucker doesn’t want America to give Ukraine ANY weapons.  Furthermore, Tucker believes that Nord Stream 2, the oil pipeline from Russia to Europe, should proceed. 

I sent Tucker a letter regarding his broadcast.  I’ve reproduced my letter below: 


Subject:  Macgregor proves Tucker wrong!

Dear Tucker,

You went on tonight for 19 minutes, in your usual commie-loving, peacenik way.  ( I guess drug abuse does have long term effects. )

Then, you put on your favorite anti-war soldier, Colonel Macgregor.

Except:  Macgregor proved you wrong!  When he did, you shut him up right away!

What did Macgregor say?

“There’s nothing between Ukraine and Germany except the Polish army.”  

The Polish army cannot hold back an onslaught by Russia.  

Germany, Macgregor added, has no army.

That means there’s nothing between Russia and France.

How did France perform in the prior two wars?  It lost.  There would be no France today, had America not saved it.

That means there’s nothing between Russia and the Atlantic Ocean.

Can England stop a Russian onslaught?  A Russian onslaught that’s reached the Atlantic Ocean?  Of course not.

What does that mean?  There’s nothing between Russia and America except America.

What does that mean?  There’s nothing between Russia and your front door except America.

By disparaging America’s defense policy, you’re putting yourself, and your family, in danger.

That’s not me being hysterical.  That’s me being right, and you being wrong! 

Stand up for the safety of Ukraine’s children!  Quit worrying about Jeffrey Epstein’s 20 year old affairs.  Quit worrying about what a child may have done with another child in a bathroom, in a Denny’s, eight years ago.  ( The Hannah Tubbs “molestation” case. )

Sincerely,

Andrew Roller 


( Lightly edited, for readability. )

The relevant T.V. show is Tucker Carlson Tonight.  It airs on the Fox News channel.

The relevant video, at foxnews ( dot ) com, is:  “Col. Macgregor:  Biden’s response to Russia has been ‘totally ineffective’”. 


AND IN THE END…

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones”. 

- Albert Einstein.  💀


ARCANA 

1.  Dana Taranova ( Danatar ) is at more internet sites than those listed above.  See my aritcle, “Addendum Part two”, for more.


2.  Russia’s president is Vladimir Putin.  ( A dictator, he has assumed various “legal” titles, over the years. )


3.  Tucker Carlson discusses his drug abuse in his book, The Long Slide. 

Russia is no longer communist.  However, Putin’s ambitions for Russia equal those of Cummunist Russia’s.  Hence, to the extent that Tucker cares nothing for restraining Russia, he is a “cummie-lover”.  Putin regards the end of Commuinst Russia as a disaster.


4.  Hallmark is a company that makes greeting cards.  It is from this that the Hallmark Channel is derived.


5.  I have advice for Vladimir Putin.  Only target one location in Kyiv, Ukraine:  the goddamn tattoo parlor that tattooed Kay J!

Success in Duolingo

Success in Duolingo

——————————————————————————————————————————

And:  Wisdom for Turdeau.

——————————————————————————————————————————


SUCCESS in Duolingo

Or:  How to succeed in Duolingo ( but not, unfortunately, to suck seed ). 

by Andrew Roller

Duolingo is an internet app, and web site, that lets you learn a foreign language.  I have followed a number of young female learners on Duolingo.  Many of them could succeed, but they become discouraged.  They quit.  But for their avatar, which lingers on Duolingo, they vanish.

I myself have been discouraged by Duolingo.  I’ve nearly quit.  However, thanks in part to the young female learners on Duolingo, and their occasional encouragement, I persevered.  I’ve been successful in Duolingo.  I’ve gotten all the way to the top “LEAGUE”, the Diamond League.  I can probably remain there indefinitely.  

Duolingo may seem complicated.  In fact, it’s stunningly simple.  If you follow my method of learning in Duolingo, you will learn a foreign language.  In fact, you’ll learn as many foreign languages as you like!

Duolingo is partly owned by Google.  I was in Duolingo’s “Grammar Portal”.

( Duolingo WEB site > LEARN > A learning circle, such as “Letters 1” > TIPS > Grammar Portal. ) 

I tapped on a sentence in “Grammar Portal”.  It took me directly to Google’s You Tube.

Last year, You Tube terminated my You Tube account.  ( It was replaced with a junk You Tube account. )  You Tube has terminated the You Tube accounts of many other people, including the accounts of teen, and preteen, girls.  I loathe You Tube and, as a result, I loathe Google.  So, if you dislike Google, and You Tube, be aware that, by using Duolingo, you’re supporting these companies.

Duolingo sent me to You Tube without any warning!  Nothing in Duolingo warned me that I was about to be sent to You Tube. 

I have always used Duolingo for free.  However, to use Duolingo, I must watch a certain number of ads.  Duolingo makes money when I watch its ads, and so does Google. 

To succeed in Duolingo, you’ll need to use the program for an hour each day.  If you do, you’ll do well enough in Duolingo to advance in your league.

Giving Duolingo a few minutes a day can be boring, even tedious.  Duolingo speaks of giving 15 minutes a day to learning a foreign language.  That’s ridiculous.  If you give Duolingo anything less than an hour a day, you’ll never really get anywhere, learning a foreign language.  You’ll do poorly in your league, and you’ll feel bad as a result.  You’ll quit.

You can ‘get away’ with giving Duolingo just a few minutes a day, once you know what you’re doing.  You won’t do well in Duolingo, but you’ll at least mainatain your “streak”.  A “streak” means the following:  you’ve used Duolingo for a certain number of days, without interruption. 

Probably, in time, life will overtake you.  You’ll forget to use Duolingo.  Or, as perhaps happened with some of the young females I’ve followed, you’ll get a boyfriend ( in real life ).  Duolingo will vanish from your mind, and your streak will vanish. 

You can buy ‘streak protection’.  You can buy up to two days worth of streak protection.  You can also buy streak protection for the weekend.  However, streak protection is very expensive.  You pay with gems that you accumulate as you use Duolingo. 

If you use Duolingo for free, gems are extremely valuable.  They are small and blue.  I earn gems every day when I do my first lesson in Duolingo.  Then, I earn more gems by watching an ad.  I earn these gems in the section of Duolingo called “LEARN”.  Then, I go to the section of Duolingo called “SHOP”.  There, I earn more gems by watching ( another ) ad. 

I turned off my iPad’s microphone.  I did this on my iPad.  ( Settings > Duolingo > Microphone > TAP the slide bar to turn the microphone off. )

If you can read and write a foreign language, you’ll succeed in moving about in the relevant foreign country.  In my lifetime, as an English speaker, I’ve mispronounced a number of English words.  So, I’m not worried about mispronouncing the words of a foreign language.  However, if you look at sentences in a foreign language, and have no idea what they mean, you’re lost. 

At first, I ignored what Duolingo was saying in Ukrainian ( the language I’m learning ).  Now, I’m starting to understand Ukrainian words.  In fact, when I’m presented with a sentence in Duolingo, I’m beginning to be able to answer it without reading the sentence!  For instance, Duolingo will write, and say,

“The cat is there.”

Without reading the sentence, I translate it as, “The cat is there.”  In my mind, a voice says the following:

“You idiot, you didn’t read the sentence ( in Ukrainian ).”

Then, another voice in my head says, 

“Moron!  Why should I read the sentence ( in Ukrainian )?  I just heard Duolingo say,

“‘The cat is there.’” 

This development shocked me.  I was thrilled to find that I could translate Ukrainian by simply listening to what Duolingo said, in Ukrainian. 

Hence, I’m learning how to pronounce words in Duolingo with my microphone turned off.  I’m learning by merely listening to Duolingo. 

There is a section of Duolingo called “LETTERS”.  At first, it is very easy to do lessons here.  Later, it becomes impossibly hard.  That’s because “LETTERS” assumes that you remember everything that it taught you.  I gave up on the section of Duolingo called “LETTERS”.  It became impossible for me to complete lessons in “LETTERS”, because they were so hard.  You can dabble in “LETTERS”.  However, once it becomes too difficult, ignore it.  You can advance to the top league in Duolingo, and stay there, without knowing the Ukrainian alphabet. 

Just one page in Duolingo needs to concern you.  That page is called “LEARN”.  You can remain on this page forever, and ignore everything else about Duolingo. 

“LEARN” consists of a number of learning circles, such as “Letters 1”.  These are arranged vertically.  Over time, you’ll proceed down the page called “LEARN”, moving from one learning circle to the next. 

You’ll be told by Duolingo that you’ve “mastered” a learning circle.  You’ll even make that circle a “Regal” one ( turning it purple ).  However, you won’t, in fact, have mastered that learning circle.  You’ll need to revisit it every day.  ( To do well in Duolingo. )  The good news is, by passing through each of your learning circles, you can earn points.  I do this every day.

A “learning circle” that’s “Regal” will give you 30 points each day.  You’ll get 20 points when you accomplish a lesson in that circle.  Then, if you accomplish another lesson in that circle, you’ll get an additional 10 points.

Making two passes through a learning circle that isn’t “Regal” will give you 10 points.  Doing a second lesson in the same circle will give you 5 points.

That’s how you succeed in Duolingo!  You merely do two lessons, every day, in each of your learning circles.  I now have six learning circles in Duolingo that are “Regal”.  So, every day, I accomplish two lessons in each of my learning circles.  It takes me an hour to do this.  I get 30 points from each circle, giving me a total of 180 points per day.  This is an excellent amount of points.  By earning 180 points every day, I do very well in any league, including the Diamond League. 

( In “LEARN”, you’ll see many learning circles.  However, many of these will remain untouched by you for many months.  Ignore them. )

I do my lessons in the Duolingo app.  By doing lessons in circles that are “Regal”, I don’t lose a heart when I make a mistake.  This is also true of learning circles that I could turn “Regal”, but haven’t turned “Regal” yet.  That is, I’ve “mastered” the learning circle, but I haven’t yet turned it “Regal”. 

An example:  

1.  “Regal” means you can ride your bicycle, and you won a bicycle race.

2.  Almost “Regal” means that you can ride your bicycle, but you haven’t yet won a bicycle race.

3.  Not “Regal” means that you are still learning how to ride a bicycle.  Sometimes, you fall off your bicycle and get hurt.  That, in Duolingo, means that you lose a heart. 

You are given five hearts in Duolingo.  Learning a lesson, in the Duolingo app, you’ll lose hearts.  I’m speaking of a lesson that is not “Regal”, and is not almost “Regal”.  You’ll lose hearts because you’ll make mistakes.  If you run out of hearts, you can’t use Duolingo.  You have to leave Duolingo for several hours.  Eventually, when you return to Duolingo, you’ll find that you’ve earned a heart.  ( By doing nothing. )  You can sometimes earn hearts by watching ads. 

A word about ads.  I find that they keep Duolingo interesting.  If Duolingo has no ads, you’ve got nothing to do except language lessons.  That can get boring. 

The ads in Duolingo change over time.  They change depending on the hour of the day.  In a sense, the ads keep you informed about our wider world.  

People in the 1970s complained that “children’s” T.V. shows were too violent.  Ho.  Ho.  Ho.  Such prudes should check out advertisements for today’s video games.  They’re loaded with violence.  

Additionally, they can be darkly sexy.  An ad for a game features voluptuous, bikini clad girls strung up in shackles.  The girls are crying.  The ad for that game airs on Duolingo, and on the Fox News web site.  Recently, the game’s ad changed.  It still features voluptuous, bikini clad girls in shackles, but they are no longer strung up.  

( I guess a prude complained that the girls in the game weren’t ( sexless ) boys, and that the boys in the game weren’t girls!  Feminism must pervade every aspect of our society!  

( If the game featured manly girls rescuing strung up boys, nobody would have complained.  The game would probably be on the cover of TIME magazine, as a paragon of morality. ) 

Let’s return to the subject of learning circles, like “Letters 1”, in Duolingo.  I’m speaking of learning circles that are “Regal”, or almost “Regal”.  I complete lessons in the learning circles.  I do so in the Duolingo app.  When I make a mistake, I don’t lose any hearts.  That’s because Duolingo lets you make as many mistakes as you like, once a learning circle is “Regal”, or is almost “Regal”. 

Now, we come to the next sort of learning circle, in this discussion.  It is a circle that isn’t yet “Regal”, or almost “Regal”.  This circle is akin to one in which I’m learning to ride a bicycle.  I sometimes fall off, and get hurt.  That is, I make a mistake, doing a lesson.  As a result, I lose a heart.  If I lose all of my hearts, I can’t use the Duolingo app anymore.  ( For several hours. )

I don’t like losing hearts.  As a result, at this point in my day, I quit the Duolingo app.  I go to the Duolingo web site.  

You’ll want to access the Duolingo web site without having to log in.  You can do this by typing “duolingo.com” into your browser.  If you try any other method of accessing Duolingo, you’ll have to log in.  That, anyway, is my experience. 

Go to duolingo.com.  There, go to “LEARN”.  Do a lesson in a learning circle.  I’m speaking of a learning circle that you haven’t yet “mastered”.  You won’t lose a heart if you make a mistake.  That’s because you’re at duolingo.com, instead of in the Duolingo app.  Also, duolingo.com will not show you as many ads as the Duolingo app does. 

So!  You began your day in the Duolingo app.  You accomplished lessons in your “Regal”, and in your almost “Regal”, learning circles.  

Then, you left the Duolingo app.  You went to the Duolingo web site.  There, you did one lesson in a learning circle that you haven’t yet “mastered”. 

That’s it!  You’re done!  If you do the above every day, you will learn a foreign language.  In fact, you’ll learn as many foreign languages as you like, over time. 

Don’t “dabble” in foreign languages.  Start a foreign language.  Follow my simple method.  Master the language.  Then, move on to the next language.  

On Duolingo, some people have spent years dabbling in foreign languages.  Apparently, they learn no language well, other than their native one.  In the amount of time a “dabbler” learns nothing on Duolingo, you’ll be able to learn several languages well! 

A number of females on Duolingo follow many “friends”.  One female that I follow has acquired 595 friends in under a year.  ( Her avatar is a cartoon. )  Following such friends is mostly useless, as far as I can tell.  ( Especially if the person uses a cartoon as an avatar. )  ( A cartoon could be anyone, even me! )  

It’s impossible to write a message, in Duolingo, to someone that you follow in Duolingo.  You can only exchange Duolingo generated messages, when Duolingo permits this.  So, if you like following people in Duolingo, go ahead.  However, you’re mostly just accumulating a ( pointless ) list of other people’s avatars.  Many of these are cartoon avatars. 

Some girls on Duolingo endlessly change their screen name, and their ( cartoon ) avatar.  I’m not sure how this benefits one in learning a foreign language, but perhaps it’s fun.  A girl that I follow created a succession of interesting screen names for herself, and enjoyable cartoon avatars.  Her current cartoon avatar is a hairy beast, with an awful name.  

Points in Duolingo are actually called “experience points”.  They ( mostly ) represent how much time you’ve spent on Duolingo, successfully accomplishing lessons.  

( Duolingo sells “Timer Boosts”.  These let a person complete a timed test that he would have otherwise failed.  The person then gets ( mostly unearned ) “experience points”. ) 

( Duolingo offers a daily “Early Bird Reward”.  Such a reward doubles the amount of “XP” that you earn, doing a lesson in “LEARN”.  You must do such lessons in the Duolingo app, not on the Duolingo web site.  

( The “Early Bird Reward”, if accomplished in a “Regal” learning circle, or in one that’s almost “Regal”, is fine.  However, if you use it in any other learning circle, you’ll lose all of your hearts.  That’s because you’ll make mistakes, and mistakes in such a learning circle cost you hearts. 

( The “Early Bird Reward” is a great way to lose all of your hearts.  In such a situation, Duolingo will offer you hearts, if you watch ads.  “Early Bird Reward” is an attempt by Duolingo to get you addicted to Duolingo, and to show you lots of ads.  My advice:  ignore the “Early Bird Reward”.  You don’t need it to do well in Duolingo. )

A week on Duolingo lasts from 7 p.m. on Sunday until 7 p.m. on the following Sunday.  I’ve only used Duolingo in California.  California uses Pacific Time, in America. 

At 4 p.m., on Sunday, you should check your position in your league.  This is on the page called, “LEAGUES”.  Check if you’re in a position, in your league, that you like.  If you’re happy, leave the page called “LEAGUES”. 

( NOTE:  The Duolingo web site is always behind, with regard to updating your position in your league.  It is behind on the page called “LEARN”.  To know your current position in your league, go to “LEAGUES” in the Duolingo app. )

You’re looking at your position in “LEAGUES”.  What if you’re unhappy with your position in “LEAGUES”?  You might curse me, and my method.  Why?  You might not have enough “experience points”.  ( Duolingo calls these “XP”. )

What if you don’t have enough “XP”?  Look to the lower right corner of the page called “LEAGUES”.  There, you’ll see a purple circle.  Inside it is a lightning bolt.  

Tap on the purple circle.  This opens a new page.  It’s called “Lightning Round”.  For 10 gems, you can do a “Lightning Round”.  A “Lightning Round” is a timed test.  In a timed test, you complete a lesson, earning “XP” along the way.  However, the test ends after 1 minute and 45 seconds.  ( Don’t worry!  You can take many timed tests. )

If you complete the entire lesson, in a timed test, you get 40 “XP”.  That’s a lot!  You can advance far in a league, if you’re getting 40 “XP” every two minutes! 

Here’s a benefit of my method of learning, in Duolingo:  You won’t learn too much!  If you learn too much, too quickly, you’ll do poorly in a timed test.  That’s because you’ll only know what your’ve learned at a level that’s superficial.  You’ll sort of know how to ride a bicycle, but you’ll sometimes fall off.

However, if you follow my slow, steady method of learning, you’ll actually understand what you’ve learned.  You won’t know Ukrainian like you know English ( for instance ), but you’ll be able to complete the timed tests.  This will be especially true after you’ve been using my method for several months.  Doing the timed tests, in “Lightning Round”, you’ll often earn 40 XP.  

When you first enter the “Lightning Round” section, you’ll make some mistakes.  However, if you stay at your iPad, and keep doing timed tests ( in one sitting ), you’ll get very good!  This will be especially true if you’ve been following my learning method.  You’ll know what you know, and you’ll be like a razor-sharp robot as you do timed tests in Duolingo. 

To repeat:  on Sunday, at 4 p.m., check your position in “LEAGUES”.  If you’re unhappy with your position, do some timed tests in the “Lightning Round” section. 

Why 4 p.m.?  The “Lightning Round” section is available from Sunday afternoon, until about Friday.  Then, it disappears.  It’s replaced by a junk page that delivers few points.  However, on Sunday, at 4 p.m., the “Lightning Round” page reappears!

By Sunday afternoon, many of your competitors in your league will be ‘asleep’.  They’ll be done with Duolingo for the week.  From 4 p.m. on Sunday, until 7 p.m., you can pass many of your competitors.  It is very enjoyable to go from a so-so position in a league to a top position.  Especially when most everyone else assumes that the ‘game’ is over. 

A timed test in “Lightning Round” costs 10 gems.  Don’t fret over this price.  You can get about 8 gems every hour in Duolingo, every day, by going to “SHOP” and watching an ad.  I don’t actually do this.  I go to “SHOP” once a day.  I also do at least one lesson in Duolingo every day.  That, over time, gives me tons of gems.

Currently, I’m getting very few gems in Duolingo.  That’s because I was upgraded, temporarily, to “Duolingo Plus”.  ( This temporary upgrade was free. )  There are no ads in “Duolingo Plus”!  As a result, I’m not earning many gems.  That pisses me off.  Why?  I’m going to need gems on Sunday, to race ahead in my league, doing timed tests in “Lighting Round”.  

( By Sunday, I won’t be a “Duolingo Plus” member anymore. )

What if you paid money to Duolingo?  Then, you’re in “Duolingo Plus”.  If that’s the case, forget my method.  Just do timed tests in “Lightning Round”.  You’ll earn the most points there.  Duolingo will challenge you with new words, over time.  

What if you want to join “Duolingo Plus”?  Wait.  At the end of the year, there are at least two membership sales.  These are both sales of “Duolingo Plus”.  The price of membership is drastically reduced.  The reduced price of “Duolingo Plus” is the same in both sales. 

( I don’t know what the reduced price actually is.  I only know that the reduction in the price was the same in both sales. )

I’ve never been able to discover, anywhere, what “Duolingo Plus” costs.  I even asked Duolingo, directly, how much “Duolingo Plus” costs.  I got no answer.  That’s one reason I’m not a member of “Duolingo Plus”.  Another reason is that I already pay for too many online products.  

I mentioned that I haven’t joined “Duolingo Plus”.  My last logical chance to join was during their last sale, at the end of last year.  Shortly after that, I wearied of Duolingo.  I nearly quit using it.  My disinterest in Duolingo had nothing to do with my not being a “Duolingo Plus” member.  I was just tired of it.  Hence, I have the following advice:

Beware of paying for “Duolingo Plus”.  It is human nature to lose interest in something that you’ve acquired.  We may be happy to own something, but it’s a different feeling from wanting it.  Married couples ( apparently ) experience this.  The once “hot” lover becomes a boring spouse.  Divorce often follows. 

I think this is the case with a number of young female learners on Duolingo.  Probably, a parent pays for Duolingo.  The parent may even force Duolingo on her daughter.  Initially, the daughter is happy.  Then, Duolingo becomes a chore.  Worse, the parent bugs her daughter to do Duolingo.  That’s especially true if the parent is paying for it. 

Hence, if you’re a young female learner, on Duolingo, be wary of asking Mom to buy you “Duolingo Plus”.  The seemingly fun program, once it’s being paid for, will become ( yet more ) homework.  You don’t need to pay for Duolingo to do well in Duolingo.


SUMMARY

1.  If you’re using Duolingo for free, follow my method.  You’ll learn a foreign language.  Over time, you’ll learn as many foreign languages as you like!

2.  If you’re a member of “Duolingo Plus”, just do timed tests, in “Lightning Round”.

3.  You can follow people in Duolingo.  However, it’s mostly useless.  You’ll never be able to send a message, that you wrote, to anyone in Duolingo. 

4.  If you like changing your screen name and your avatar in Duolingo, go ahead.  However, such time is better spent creating an actual presence on a social media platform.  On a ( real ) social media platform you can be yourself and ( hopefully ) interact with real people.  Duolingo is a poor platform for socializing. 

5.  Beware of buying “Duolingo Plus”.  Around the time that you decide to buy, you may ( in fact ) weary of Duolingo.  Buying “Duolingo Plus” doesn’t get rid of Duolingo.  It will likely saddle you with ( yet another ) daily, boring chore.


CANADIAN TYRANNY

Recently, in Canada, a woman donated $50 to a fund.  The purpose of the fund was to aid truckers in Canada.  The truckers were protesting Canadian prime minister Justin Turdeau’s pointless mask, quarantine, and vaccine mandates.  These mandates are in regard to the now ( mostly gone ) COVID virus.  The current COVID virus, Omicron, is no worse than the seasonal flu.  Omicron has replaced the other COVID variants. 

When the woman made her $50 donation, her act was legal.  However, Justin Turdeau subsequently awarded himself “Emergency Powers”.  This was allowed under Canadian law ( since the 1980s ).  However, no prime minister had ever awarded himself Emergency Powers before.  

Turdeau’s Emergency Powers allowed Turdeau to declare the woman’s legal donation as being an illegal act.  This made the woman’s legal act retroactively illegal.  The Canadian government seized the woman’s bank account.  The woman works as a minimum wage employee. 

Our society had been in the process of moving from actual cash to digital cash.  You’d still save money in dollars, but they would be in digital form.  They’d be in digital form on your phone, and you’d pay using your phone.  You’d carry no cash.  

Your money that’s in the bank now is, in fact, in digital form.  The bank doesn’t keep everyone’s cash in its vault.  Most money that a bank holds is, in fact, currently absent.  It’s absent because it’s been given away, in the form of loans.  ( Loans that the bank hopes will be repaid. )

If you’re a Canadian, you’ve likely learned two lessons from Turdeau’s Emergency Powers.  They are:

1.  Keep what cash you have as real, actual currency.  Hide it.  If the government comes after you, for your retroactive “crime”, they’ll search your house.  Your money needs to be someplace where the government won’t find it. 

Warren Buffet has said:  I’m more concerned about the return of my money, than the return on my money.  ( The return on his money being in the form of earned interest. )

2.  You need guns and ammunition.  You need supplies to clean and maintain your gun.  Ultimately, you need to be able to disassemble and reassemble your gun with your eyes closed.

The universal weapon of choice is an AK-47.  That’s because it was made to be a simple weapon, that even a “moron” could use.  ( That is, a primitive villager who is otherwise unacquainted with civilization. )  The fact that the AK-47 was developed in the Soviet Union, to aid the global spread of communism, is irrelevant.  It’s the best small arms weapon there is. 

America has a Second Amendment.  ( The right to bear arms. )  I don’t know Canadian law.  The purpose of America’s Second Amendment is not to hunt deer.  It is to protect the rights of the citizen from a tyrannical government. 

If you’re a Canadian, it’s up to you to decide if your government is a tyranny.  However, it’s been proven that peaceful, non-violent protest gets you beaten, and results in your bank account being seized.  It also results in you losing other property, as well as your ability to work.  Since peaceful protest isn’t possible, one must at least consider other options.  I recommend having a gun to allow yourself the consideration of these other options.  

Unfortunately, a gun is a small arm.  It is ineffective against a tyranny deploying trained, organized forces, armed with “big guns”, as a Libyan rebel said, of Muammar Gaddafi’s army. 

From my perspective, there are many problems with Canadian law.  Ending Canada’s mandates, with regard to COVID, won’t solve much.  Some of the problems with Canadian law are also present in American law.  So, no, I’m not advocating armed revolt against the Canadian government.  I’m simply saying what I’d regard as essential if I were a Canadian.  ( Real cash, and an ability, however ineffective, for armed self defense. )

Television footage has demonstrated that a number of Canadian police are in fact psychopaths.  Canadians need to purge their police of those who are mentally ill. 

The only Canadian police that I saw on my iPad were White males.  Aren’t half of the police supposed to be women?  Where were the Black policemen?  Where were the gay and transgendered policemen?  And, regarding equal rights for all, where were the pedophile policemen?  

Why isn’t America’s liberal media asking these questions?  America’s liberal media spent the last two years damning White males.  Now, America’s liberal media encouraged and praised Canada’s cops for beating women and men in the street.  That is, America’s liberal media praised psychopathic White males, and the beating by men of women protesters.  

White male Canadian cops also beat at least one non-violent female reporter.  They stole $5,000 worth of camera equipment from a male reporter who, unobtrusively, filmed the Canadian cops beating a non-violent male protester.  ( Who was voluntarily on his knees, with his arms raised. ) 

( Protesters in America say, “Hands up, don’t shoot!”  Yes; but the Canadian cops then beat you, even breaking your bones.  You don’t want to be an invalid for the rest of your life. )

What Canada needs most is a Bill of Rights.  America has a Bill of Rights.  The U.S. Supreme Court has done its best to whittle away Americans’ rights, in our Bill of Rights.  However, some aspects of our Bill of Rights linger, for now. 

Canada also needs to get rid of its Emergency Powers.  They are a far greater threat to Canada’s citizens ( if you are, in fact, still citizens ) than an aid.  Canada fought two world wars without any Emergency Powers.  It survived 9/11 without Emergency Powers.  ( Where nothing, in fact, happened in Canada. )  Modernity, in the name of “safety”, is turning citizens into serfs.  

In summary,

Apple Pay plus “sensible gun safety rules” equals serfdom. 


OVERHEARD

Before America goes nuclear over Russian tyranny in Estonia, it might want to liberate Canada from Canadian tyranny.  Canada is a lot closer than Estonia.


AND IN THE END…

WORDS of WISDOM for TURDEAU

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” 

- Thomas Jefferson.

ARCANA

1.  I continue to have a serious problem with my word processing app.  I use Apple’s app that’s called “Pages”.  Sometimes, my right pinkie finger accidentally hits two keys at once.  It hits both the right “shift” key, on my keyboard, and the left arrow key.  This causes the prior two lines that I’ve typed to vanish! 

I “think” directly into my keyboard.  ( Which is an Apple keyboard. )  When my last two lines of type vanish, it’s often impossible for me to remember what I just typed.  For instance, yesterday I typed,

“Tim Cook is God!”  Then, I accidentally erased the line, thanks to the flaw ( mentioned above ) in “Pages”.  Unable to remember what I’d just typed, I decided to type, “Tim Cook is a butthole”.  That’s what got published to all of humanity in my blog. 


2.  The “Find” feature in the Apple app “Pages” is awful.  I wanted to find the word “he” in my document.  In “Find”, I typed “he ( space)”.  “Pages” then showed me every instance of “he” in the word “the”!  Worse, it only showed every instance of “he” in the word “the” if I tapped on each displayed section of my document.  Otherwise, it showed me nothing.  

“Pages” failed to show me the single instance of the word “he” in my document.  I had to read my whole document, several times, to find “he”.  In fact, I only found “he” after I’d ceased to look for it.  


3.  Long ago, I owned a Macintosh.  When I highlighted a document, all of its paragraph marks appeared.  This also occurs in “Pages”.  However, another aspect of my document appeared.  Wherever I’d tapped my keyboard’s “space” bar, there was a little dot.  The little dots were very helpful.  They let me count the number of spaces after each of my periods.  In “Pages”, there are no little dots.  Hence, I don’t know if I have the correct number of spaces after each period. 


4.  I support America helping Ukraine to stay free.  The Ukrainians are not Russians.  Even a cursory knowledge of Ukraine’s history reveals this.  Kyiv is not Moscow.  Kyiv predates Moscow.  The importance of Moscow is due to the tyranny of the ( now departed ) Mongols. 

The fact that Ukraine’s government is not as free as America’s is a problem that, over time, can be solved.  It is much harder to displace a Russian invasion of Ukraine.  A Russian invasion of Ukraine would turn Ukraine into the bloodbath that Chechnya was, thanks to the Russians. 

I admire all the Slavic people.  Hopefully, any disputes between them can be peacefully resolved.  The dead are not the only ones who should experience peace. 

Nonetheless, America should kick Turdeau’s ass.

TURDEAU Speaks!

by Andrew Roller

You’ve seen him on T.V.  He looks like a Ken doll who escaped from Barbie’s playhouse.  He’s Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Turdeau!

ARSE:  Why are you sending police, better described as thugs, to beat men and women in the street?

Turdeau:  I like to play dress up.  Did you know that I dressed up as a Black man?

ARSE:  Really?

Turdeau:  Yes!  

ARSE:  Were you a Black scientist?  A Black doctor?

Turdeau:  Ho!  Ho!  Ho!  That’s a good joke!

ARSE:  Let’s get back to your thugs beating up women.  And that horse, ridden by a cop that trampled a woman -

Turdeau:  Collateral damage.  I was trying to move some trucks.

ARSE:  You mistook a woman for a truck?

Turdeau:  It happens.  I’d rather talk about playing dress up!

ARSE:  What about it?

Turdeau:  I found a new costume!  It’s pretty great.  It’s brown - it looks like a military uniform.  It comes with a red armband.  There’s a cool symbol on the armband.  It looks like a spiky black wheel. 

ARSE:  I’m not sure I know what you mean…

Turdeau:  ( Draws a picture on a napkin. ) 

ARSE:  That’s a swastika!

Turdeau:  It is?

ARSE:  Yes!  Adolf Hitler wore that!

Turdeau:  Wow!  Next to Xi Jinping, Hitler was pretty cool!  Hitler said, “No Jews!”  And you know what?  Pretty soon there were no Jews.  

Now look at me.  I said, “No truckers!”  And now, there are no truckers!  That’s leadership.  Joe Biden could learn from me.

ARSE:  I understand that you don’t have much freedom of speech in Canada.

Turdeau:  That’s not true.  I’m in Canada, and I can say whatever I want.

ARSE:  Except when you insulted that Jewish lady, in Parliament.

Turdeau:  That’s true.  But I’m working on that.  Today, no truckers!  Tomorrow, no Jews!  Heil Turdeau! 


HOW to CREATE a “PERVERT”

“Since premarital relations are abundant in primitive society, passion is not dammed up by denial, and seldom affects the choice of a wife.  For the same reason—the absence of delay between desire and fulfilment—no time is given for that brooding introversion of frustrated, and therefore idealizing, passion.”

- Will Durant.

AND IN THE END…

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.”

KAY J:  SCARRED for LIFE!

by Andrew Roller

Kay J is a nude, or erotic, model.  She lives in Kyiv, Ukraine.  Kay began modeling, nude, in the spring of 2016.  At the time, she’d just turned 20 years old. 

In January of 2017, Kay became pregnant.  I date her “kid cute” era from the spring of 2016 to January of 2017, or shortly thereafter.  Kay continues to model, including on her Only Fans web site. 

In her video “Wet Dreams” ( Kay in a bed ) ( 20 Sept 2016 ), Kay has whip marks on her body.  These are unrelated to her video.  Kay was whipped by someone in her private life.  As best I can tell, none of Kay’s whip marks, visible in “Wet Dreams”, left a scar.  That’s because her whip marks in “Wet Dreams” don’t appear, as scars, in her later photographic items.

However, Kay has a scar on her right hip in three, possibly four, of her photo galleries.  Her scar is long and slender.  It crosses horizontally over her right hip.  Then, it curves downward over her right hip bone.  ( Her hip bone that projects near the front of her ( then ) slender body. ) 

I don’t advocate getting scarred by a whip.  However, with regard to her scar, Kay got lucky.  It’s in the best place for a scar, where it doesn’t ruin her beauty.  One could call it sexy.  It is definitely sexy compared to the giant tattoo on her back.  Kay was tattooed at age 25.  Sadly, her tattoo, whatever its beauty as a tattoo, is grotesque, compared to the slender scar on her hip.

I have not found evidence of Kay’s scar in her videos.  I’m speaking of her “kid cute” era videos. 

Below, I list the photo galleries, in Kay’s “kid cute” era, in which her scar is visible.  I mention the photo in which Kay’s scar is most visible.  Her scar is often visible in photos that are adjacent to the one that I mention.  Her scar might also be visible in other photos in the same gallery.  

The date given is the date that the metartnetwork ( dot ) com posted the photo gallery to their web site.  This date is always later than the date that Kay’s photographic item was made. 

Many of Kay’s photographic items, in her “kid cute” era, were likely made in the spring and summer of 2016.  ( Not, say, in the fall and winter of 2016. ) 

All of Kay’s ( relevant ) “kid cute” photo galleries were photographed by Alex Lynn.

1.  The photo gallery “Phiny”.  ( Photo 64 of 129. )  18 Sept 2016.  ( Kay in a bathroom. ) 

2.  The photo gallery “Teinalt”.  ( Photo 123 of 132. )  ( Kay’s scar is probably present; I’m not sure. )  24 Sept 2016.  ( Kay in the woods. ) 

3.  The photo gallery “Cyma”.  ( Photo 67 of 124. )  18 Jan 2017.  ( Kay on a rocky beach. ) 

4.  The photo gallery “Lenxi”.  ( Photo 42 of 132. )  8 Feb 2017.  ( Kay in a coverall. ) 

You may wish to study this matter yourself.  I offer the following tips:

1.  A slim shadow is sometimes visible directly under Kay’s right hip bone.  Don’t mistake this shadow for her scar.

2.  A slim vein runs directly under Kay’s right hip bone.  Don’t mistake this for her scar.

3.  Prefer photographic items in which Kay is in bright sunshine.  By this, I mean photographic items in which the sun is shining directly on Kay’s right hip.  You’re more likely to see her scar in such circumstances.  

I did a cursory search of Kay’s photographic items that were made after her “kid cute” era.  Here are my results:

1.  The photo gallery “Heni”.  ( Photo 83 of 127. )  10July2018.  ( Kay on a bench. ) 

2.  The photo gallery “Red Flowers”.  ( Photo 47 of 120. )  6Nov2019.  ( Kay in a red baseball cap. )

3.  The photo gallery “Polka Dotted”.  ( Photo 59 of 93. )  7April2020.  ( Kay in a polka dotted bikini. ) 

4.  The photo gallery “Palm Trees”.  ( Photo 40 of 91. )  28May2020.  ( Kay on a boat. )

5.  The photo gallery “Backroad”.  ( Photo 87 of 121. )  2Mar2021.  ( Kay on a road. ) 

6.  The video “Ready”  ( In 4k resolution. )  ( Kay in a transparent bra and panty. )

I don’t have ready access to the dates of Kay’s videos.  Hence, I’ve omitted the date of her video “Ready”.  It’s a non-“kid cute” era video.

I don’t have ready access to who the photographer was for Kay’s photographic items.  Hence, I’ve omitted this information from her non-“kid cute” photo galleries. 

All of the photographic items mentioned in this article are at the metartnetwork ( dot ) com.

Kay is, apparently, a devotee of BDSM.  BDSM is popular.  A whip leaves abrasive cuts on the skin.  These, reportedly, disappear after a few days.  However, let’s look at the definition of a scar:

“A mark left on the skin after a surface injury or wound has healed.” 

- The Free Dictionary, by Farlex. 

Hence, an abrasive cut is a surface injury.  But so is a scar! 

Over time, I’ve watched free whipping videos on the internet.  A whip, used by an expert, usually has to strike the victim a number of times before it cuts the skin.  The exception to this is an area like the hip.  That’s because just a thin layer of skin covers the hip. 

My advice:  If you’re going to whip, or be whipped, don’t use the whip to an excessive extent.  That way, you won’t have scars when your BDSM session is at its orgasmic end.  You might have cuts, but they won’t ( hopefully ) become scars.  

Of course, the risk of being scarred ( for life ) appears to be one of the subtler appeals of BDSM.  

In any event, don’t get a tattoo.  It’s far too obvious ( and garish ) compared to a scar on a non-erotic part of the body. 


AMERICA FIRST equals AMERICA DEFEATED

America has come a long way since I was born, in 1960.  In some ways, America has improved.  Internationally, it’s in decline.  America’s government refuses to condemn Canada’s tyranny.  ( Canada has been flushing itself down the toilet for decades.  The country has lacked free speech for some time. ) 

Isolationists like Tucker Carlson care nothing for Ukraine.  Yet these same people intimate that if, say, Estonia is attacked, they’re willing to go nuclear.  Carlson spent considerable time, on his show, discussing Jeffrey Epstein’s affairs with teenage girls.  ( Affairs that took place decades ago. )  Yet Tucker is unmoved by the prospect of dead Ukrainian children. 

Tucker is part of the “America First” crowd.  Such navel-gazers forget that America remains in a stalemate with Russia.  This stalemate began at the end of World War Two.  America can ensure its safety by bearing its global responsibilities.  Or it can continue its slide into global irrelevance.  That slide ends in defeat by a foreign power.  The only foreign powers capable of defeating America are tyrannies.

Below are some additional thoughts, by others, on the state of our world:

1.  “We believe that all humanity is one big community of friends.”

- Ukrainian Language Handbook 

Source:  https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ukrainian 


2.  “Let every nation know … that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

“This much we pledge--and more. …

“To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny.  We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view.  But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom”. 

- United States President John F. Kennedy.  January 20, 1961.

ON CHASTITY

“Chastity is a … late development.  What the primitive maiden dreaded was not the loss of virginity, but a reputation for sterility; premarital pregnancy was, more often than not, an aid rather than a handicap in finding a husband, for it settled all doubts of sterility, and promised profitable children. 

“The simpler tribes, before the coming of property, seem to have held virginity in contempt, as indicating unpopularity.  The Kamchadal bridegroom who found his bride to be a virgin was much put out, and ‘roundly abused her mother for the negligent way in which she had brought up her daughter.’  

[ Call Child Protective Services!  This girl hasn’t been fucked! ] 

“In many places virginity was considered a barrier to marriage, because it laid upon the husband the unpleasant task of violating the tabu that forbade him to shed the blood of any member of his tribe. 

“Sometimes girls offered themselves to a stranger in order to break this tabu against their marriage.  In Tibet mothers anxiously sought men who would deflower their daughters; in Malabar the girls themselves begged the services of passers-by to the same end, ‘for while they were virgins they could not find a husband.’ 

“In some tribes the bride was obliged to give herself to the wedding guests before going in to her husband; in others the bridegroom hired a man to end the virginity of his bride; among certain Philippine tribes a special official was appointed, at a high salary, to perform this function for prospective husbands. 

[ It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it. ] 

“What was it that changed virginity from a fault into a virtue, and made it an element in the moral codes of all the higher civilizations?  Doubtless it was the institution of property.”

- Will Durant.

( So much for the notion, bandied by the ignorant, that “pedophilia” is a behavior that invaded humanity in recent years. ) 

( I broke the above quote into several paragraphs, for readability. )


AND IN THE END…

“Forms of seclusion arose by which girls were kept from providing or receiving temptation.”

- Will Durant.

By the above quote, we learn the following:

A “girl” is not merely the “target” of a man’s “criminal” lust.  She herself can provide temptation. 

Modern America is a sewer of lies, foisted upon us by elites.  Such elites are pursuing unnatural agendas.

MISSING Pages Document!

by Andrew Roller

Too often, things happen on my Apple iPad for which there is no ready answer.  I search the internet, and can’t find meaningful help.  

I’ve bought a number of ‘How to Use’ books.  Each one amounted to little more than a sales tract.  I was told that the iPad was a ‘WONDERFUL’ device!  It would ‘CHANGE the WORLD!’  I then got 55 pages on, say, how to launch my Safari browser. 

Not everything that goes wrong with my iPad is the fault of my iPad.  It took me ages to learn how to watch videos in the Apple app “iMovie”.  Apple should provide documentation for its apps, and for its iPhone and iPad. 

( I’ve called Apple for help.  However, two months after I bought my first iPhone, in 2019, I found that I knew more than Apple’s employees! ) 

If you buy an iPad, or an iPhone, it comes with the following word processor app:  Pages.  This app is useless on the iPhone.  That’s because the iPhone has a small screen. 

If you only own an iPhone, you need to buy an iPad.  You’ll then be able to use “Pages” ( on your iPad ).  You’ll also gain a far better understanding of how Apple’s iOS system works, on both your iPad and on your iPhone.  Make sure you buy an iPad with a big screen. 

( An iPad is not an Apple “MacBook Pro”.  A MacBook Pro is a Macintosh computer. ) 

I like posting comments to Kay J’s Only Fans web site:  ukaybb.  ( No period. )  I type my comment in Pages.  I do this one-handed.  That is, my iPad is not in the accessory known as the “keyboard”.  ( Sold separately. ) 

Since my iPad is not in its keyboard, my iPad offers an onscreen keyboard when I type.  I type my comment in a Pages document.  Then, I close my document.  

I now have to give my document a name.  In my situation, the onscreen keyboard covers the icon that represents my document.  I type my document’s name, but I can’t actually see my document’s icon. 

I did this today.  I called my document “140. hot day”.  ( No quotation marks, and no period. ) 

I then opened a new document.  I typed a new comment.  I closed my new document. 

I noticed the following:  my new document’s icon was present.  However, my prior document ( 140. hot day ) had disappeared! 

I was horrified!

This situation had occurred once before.  It had occurred under the same circumstances:  I was making a one-handed comment for Kay J’s Only Fans web site.

I was beginning to question the credibility of Pages as a word processing app. 

On the prior occasion, I simply created a new document.  It was, as far as I know, exactly the same as the document that had disappeared.  I was successful in creating the new document.

Today, I created a new “140. hot day”.  Pages told me the following:

“The name ‘140. hot day’ is already taken.  Please choose a different name.”

I did a thorough search for “140. hot day”.  It was gone! 

I keep my comments, that I make for Kay J’s Only Fans web site, in a folder.  I call this folder “ONLY FANS-KAY J”.  

I type in “iCloud Drive”.  I copied the folder “ONLY FANS-KAY J” from iCloud Drive to “On My iPad”. 

I did a thorough search for “140. hot day” in “ONLY FANS-KAY J” on my iPad.  It was gone!

I restarted my iPad.  I searched for “140. hot day” again.  It was still gone.

I had already opened and closed the folder “ONLY FANS-KAY J” numerous times.  However, I did this ( yet again ) about five minutes after “140. hot day” had gone missing.  I did this in iCloud Drive.  Suddenly, “140. hot day” was present!  I opened the document.  I closed it.

I went to “On My iPad”.  There, I opened “ONLY FANS-KAY J”.  “140. hot day” was also present in “On My iPad”!

( I rename a folder when I move it from iCloud Drive to “On My iPad”.  “ONLYFANS-KAY J” becomes “310pm16febONLYFANS”.  That’s so I don’t confuse the two folders. ) 

I have no idea what caused “140. hot day” to disappear, or to reappear.  Restarting my iPad had NOT caused it appear.  It had appeared later on, all by itself.

Let’s restate the problem:  My Pages document disappeared!

Here’s my solution:  Wait.  Pages was aware of “140. hot day”.  It was merely slow to create an icon for my document. 

( Open and close the folder that your document is in.  Do this numerous times.  This action will ( hopefully ) cause your missing document to appear. )  

Also, restart your iPad.  ( Even though, in my case, that didn’t seem to help. ) 

More advice:  Don’t name your document in a one-handed state.  I realize that this may be an onerous burden, but you’ll have to take your hand off of your dick when you give your document a name. 

As you give your document a name, keep a sharp eye on it.  Make sure it doesn’t disappear!  


HELP FROM OTHERS

Others have had Pages documents go missing.  In their case, the problem seems to be that iCloud Drive failed to display their documents.  Here’s what I found on the internet:

1.  “baygirI67:

“Pages documents disappeared

“Last night I could access all of my pages documents.  This morning they disappeared!  icloud drive is on, and pages has the icloud setting on.  Where did all my documents go and how do I get them back?”


2.  “zoons2

“Hello dear baygirl, … I was almost gettin frustrated about losing all my documents in pages.  I did exactly what you advised and all my documents reappeared.  

“For other ‘disappeared-pages documents’ users out there, this is what I did.  Thanks to baygirI67.

1) turn off and on your device,

2) settings- -iCloud drive (on)-- -pages ( ‘on’ green )

3) settings- -pages- -use iCloud ( ‘on’ green )”.

The above comments are ( mostly ) transcribed verbatim. 

Pages isn’t the only app in which documents can disappear.  I faced a similar problem with the app that’s called “Documents”, by the company that’s called Readdle.  ( Called “Documents by Readdle” below. )  Here is the problem, as I reported it to Readdle:

“I moved some zip files from my iPad to my iCloud.  I moved them from Documents by Readdle on my iPad to my Documents by Readdle folder in iCloud.  These zip files have disappeared!

“If I enter the UNzipped file's name into Apple's "Search" app ( by swiping down ), I can then unzip the file.  However, I have NO access to the actual zipped file!  Hence, the zipped file still exists.  However, it isn't showing up in Documents by Readdle in iCloud.” 

Readdle gave me the following reply:

“Hi Andrew,

“Thank you for reaching out to us and please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

“As the first way to troubleshoot the issue in question, could you please go to Settings on your iOS device > tap on your name at the top of the screen ( Apple ID, iCloud, Media & Purchases ) > iCloud > turn off the iCloud drive toggle and Documents toggle > reboot the device > turn the toggles on > check how it goes this time?  Does it help?

“If the issue still persists, please make sure that your iCloud has enough space as well as your device itself.  Besides, the screenshots illustrating the device and iCloud storages are more than welcome.

“Please let me know how it goes.  Thank you in advance for your time and cooperation.  I'm looking forward to hearing from you at your convenience.

“Kind regards,

“Denys Hnatenko,

“Readdle Team”.

Denys advice is very helpful.  However, I’m afraid to turn off my iCloud Drive.  That’s because the problem, regarding Documents by Readdle, is not very important to me right now.  It isn’t interfering with my ability to publish my blog.  Also, it isn’t affecting Documents by Readdle, which is on my iPad.  I am able to watch videos of the pope, and worship photos of him, in Documents by Readdle on my iPad.  ( Thank God! )

( I wish that Documents by Readdle would allow me to watch videos of the pope at the speed of 0.25.  The slowest speed in Documents by Readdle is currently 0.50. ) 

Hopefully, by reading this article, you’ll get a better sense of what’s happening if one of your Pages documents disappears!


AND IN THE END…

HOW to ABOLISH the PATRIARCHY!

“Modesty came with virginity and the patriarchate.  There are many tribes which to this day show no shame in exposing the body; indeed, some are ashamed to wear clothing.  All Africa rocked with laughter when Livingstone begged his black hosts to put on some clothing before the arrival of his wife.  The Queen of the Balonda was quite naked when she held court for Livingstone.  A small minority of tribes practise sex relations publicly, without any thought of shame.” 

- Will Durant.

Source:  The Complete Story of Civilization, by Will Durant.  Page 86.  Simon and Schuster.  New York, New York.  United States of America.  Copyright 1975.  The first book in this multi-volume series was published in 1935.  

In 2021, a publicly stated goal of the government of the United States of America was to “abolish the patriarchy” in Afghanistan. 

The U.S. failed to abolish the patriarchy in Afghanistan.

Thanks to the above quote ( by Durant ) we know how to abolish the patriarchy.  The United States government should do the following:

1.  Impose a “nudity mandate” on all citizens.  Anyone wearing clothing in public will be cited for criminal behavior.

2.  Impose a “porn requirement” on all citizens.  Anyone found to be without pornography in their possession is obviously promoting patriarchal oppression.  

Free yourself from clothes to free yourself from the patriarchy!


ARCANA 

1.  I don’t use italics.  That’s because I have bad memories of the 1990s internet.  At that time, italicized words didn’t translate smoothly from my computer to the internet. 

In a document, I put a ( possibly ) unfamiliar word into quotation marks the first time that I use it.  ( As in, “Pages”. )  I do not put the word in quotation marks when I use it again. 

I apply the “first use” rule to each separate entity in my document.  That is, the headline is separate from the article.  Also, each article is a separate entity.  


2.  The internet article, on the subject of “Pages” documents disappearing, is at:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6556520

Article title:  Pages documents disappeared.

My Google search term:  pages document disappeared.


3.  Should you buy an iPad or a “MacBook Pro”?  Here’s why you should buy an iPad:

A.  The best iPad is $1,000 cheaper than the least expensive MacBook Pro. 

B.  The iPad has a touch screen.  The MacBook Pro doesn’t. 

( A “touch screen” is one where you put your finger against the screen to accomplish tasks. )

C.  If you look at a photo of a naked girl on an iPad, you’ll usually turn your iPad.  That is, you’ll move your iPad from a horizontal position to a vertical position.  The photo of the naked girl will adjust itself accordingly. 

If you move your MacBook Pro, the photo of the naked girl will not adjust!  

Example:

Amazon sells the following Kindle e-book:

Playboy:  The Complete Centerfolds.  Chronicle Books LLC, San Francisco, California, United States of America.  Copyright 2007, 2008. 

The centerfolds in “Playboy:  The Complete Centerfolds” are tiny when you view them with your iPad on its side.  ( Which is how my iPad sits, as I type this article. )  ( I type on the iPad accessory known as a “keyboard”. ) 

You must stand your iPad up to properly view the centerfolds in “Playboy:  The Complete Centerfolds”!  Your iPad’s screen will adjust.  Your MacBook Pro’s screen will not adjust!

NOTE:  Half of the centerfolds in “Playboy:  The Complete Centerfolds” are big enough to see.  Half ARE NOT!  You must turn your iPad, putting it in a vertical position, to properly view the centerfolds that are not big enough to see. 

( Once you put your iPad in a vertical position, “Playboy:  The Complete Centerfolds” is an excellent book.  All of the centerfolds are large. )  ( Use your fingers to increase the size of a centerfold.  Also, screenshot it.  Then you’ll be able to enjoy it in “Photos” without having to fiddle with its size in the e-book “Playboy:  The Complete Centerfolds”. ) 

In the modern era, I’ve only owned an iPhone and an iPad.  My statements about the MacBook Pro are ( hopefully accurate ) conjectures.


4.  I use the Apple “keyboard” known as the “Smart Keyboard Folio”.  When I bought it, in 2019, it was the only iPad keyboard that Apple sold. 

Apple now sells other iPad keyboards, in addition to the “Smart Keyboard Folio”.  What are the pluses and minuses of owning a “Smart Keyboard Folio”?

A.  ( Minus. )  The “Smart Keyboard Folio” does not have backlit keys.  ( When you type a password, “caps lock” will not illuminate. )  This is a huge problem when you enter an assigned password.  ( At, say, a porn site. )  ( You can’t tell whether you’re typing a capital letter or not! ) 

B.  ( Minus. )  The “Smart Keyboard Folio” won’t let you position your cursor, in a document, in the middle of a word.  Hence, you have to retype the entire word. 

Apple will probably argue that, since you’re using your finger to position your cursor ( on the screen ), the fault lies with your finger.  However, I’ve found that the fault lies with Apple.  Why?

a.  Apple has improved the ability of my finger to position my cursor on my iPad’s screen.  My finger is no more accurate than it was in 2019.  Apple has improved its software. 

b.  My finger has always been very accurate on my iPhone’s screen.

c.  Apple wants to sell me its “Magic Keyboard”, which it hadn’t even created when I bought a “Smart Keyboard Folio” in 2019.  The “Magic Keyboard” comes with a trackpad.  The trackpad would, presumably, allow me to position my cursor, in a document, in the middle of a word.

Hence, Apple is deliberately crippling Pages, to try to sell me the “Magic Keyboard”.

Formerly, Apple was deliberately crippling Pages to try to sell me a MacBook Pro.

( Pages was, in 2019, just an iOS app.  ( It was on the iPhone, and on the iPad. )  Pages wasn’t available on the MacBook Pro.  The MacBook Pro ( presumably ) came with its own word processing program. ) 

C.  ( Plus. )  When I look at photos of naked girls on my iPad, I do the following:

a.  I put two plastic bottles of “GentleLAX”, a laxative, on my desk.  I put them against the back wall of my room.

I use a big bottle of “GentleLAX”, and a small bottle of “GentleLAX”.  That’s because I want my iPad to stand at an angle.  ( My iPad will stand upright, but it will be angled away from an illuminated lamp on my desk. )

b.  I take my iPad out of its keyboard.  I put my keyboard against the bottles of “GentleLAX”.  Then, I stand my iPad upright in its keyboard.

My iPad now rests in a groove that is in its keyboard.  The groove keeps my iPad from slipping, and falling flat. 

( My iPad is NOT, in this position, magnetically locked into its keyboard.  Only the groove in the keyboard keeps it from slipping, and falling flat. )

I can now view photos of naked girls on my iPad, which is standing upright.  I don’t have to hold my iPad to keep it standing upright.

The “Smart Keyboard Folio” has grooves in it.  The ( more expensive ) “Magic Keyboard” does not!  Hence, only buy the “Magic Keyboard” if you never plan to masturbate over naked girls on the internet. 

( See if you can find that advice at Apple’s web site! )

Information on Apple’s keyboards is at:

https://www.apple.com/ipad-keyboards/ 


D.  “Dumb” phones are no longer sold.  You can only buy a smart phone.  Once you own an Apple smart phone, you’ll probably always buy Apple smart phones.

It is incumbent upon you to know how your iPhone works, in its entirety.  In my case, I was unable to understand much about my iPhone until I bought a ( large ) iPad. 

I regard the Apple Macintosh as ancient technology.  It’s equivalent to the Apple II.  ( The Apple II was replaced by the Macintosh. )  Apple is grudgingly acknowledging that its Macintosh is doomed.  How is Apple doing this?  By ( slowly ) improving the iPad.

Apple’s Macintosh is being replaced by its iOS system.  ( By its iPad, and its iPhone. )  I say:  don’t waste your time learning to use a Macintosh.  Apple’s iOS ( its iPad and its iPhone ) is our present, and our future.  Embrace the future!  Leave the past to guys who keep bottles of GentleLAX on their desk.

CULINARY Success!

by Andrew Roller

The Fellowship of the Ring was on a quest to save Middle Earth from Sauron.  My quest is more temporal.  What’s the best frozen pizza that you can buy?

I once tried telling my answer to a young woman.  I advised that she buy “Celeste” pizza.  ( Formerly known as “Mama Celeste”. )

“Simply add cheese to the ‘Deluxe’ variety of a ‘Celeste’ pizza,” I told the young woman.  “You’ll have a great pizza.”

How did the young woman respond?  She was appalled.  Not only did I not resemble Tom Cruise, or have the the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I was commending a cheap pizza to her!  In 2022, “Celeste” pizza costs just what it did years ago:  99 cents. 

Last summer, I moved into a new room.  For the first time in twenty years, I had an oven.  I have learned many things following young girls.  Naturally, I figured I should follow the tacit advice of the young woman.  That is, don’t buy a cheap pizza.  Buy a big, $7.50 pizza, that you cook in an oven.  Spend the next three days trying to get rid of the damn thing.

I followed the young woman’s tacit advice.  I bought every variety of big pizza that’s at the store.  It always took me days to rid my refrigerator of pizza leftovers.  The result?  I was unhappy.  I was sick of eating pizza.

I am not Donald Trump.  I’m not loaded with cash.  My new room has a high rent.  This month, I spent $408.78 to heat my room.  Even so, I’ve been cold, in my room, all winter.  I decided to cut back on food.  As part of this, I decided to buy “Celeste” pizza.  I bought the “Deluxe” variety.

Since I now have an oven, I cooked my small, single-sized, “Celeste” pizza in my oven.  It took just as long to cook a “Celeste” pizza as it did to cook a big pizza.  That is, it took about 20 minutes.

Before cooking my “Celeste” pizza, I added mozzarella cheese to it.  My “Celeste” pizza was delicious!  I consider a “Deluxe” “Celeste” pizza to be the best frozen pizza that you can buy. 

There’s more that you can do to enhance your pizza, if you wish to:

1.  Buy “Fajita Mix”.  This is in the vegetable section of Ralphs grocery.  ( Ralphs is owned by Kroger. )  “Fajita Mix” consists of onions, green peppers, and red peppers.  They are washed and sliced.  They’re in a plastic box.  A box of “Fajita Mix” will last for about a week in your refrigerator.

2.  Buy baby spinach leaves.  These are in the vegetable section of your grocery.  The baby spinach leaves that I buy are separated and washed.  They’re in a plastic box.  

3.  Buy “Dr. K” soda.  ( A variety of soda manufactured by “Big K”. )  This is a delicious soda!  So far, I’ve only bought the original flavor, not the diet flavor.

“Dr. K” is a generic version of “Dr. Pepper” soda.  I did a taste test of these sodas.  The version of “Dr. Pepper” that I drank was the original version.  “Dr. K” won!  “Dr. K” costs about $3.00 for 12 cans.  “Dr. Pepper costs nearly $7.00 for 12 cans.  


OTHER Dinner IDEAS

Buy “Oscar Mayer” hot dogs.  Buy the “Angus” variety.  It takes 1:40 minutes to microwave two of these hot dogs.  

Now, dump salsa on your hot dogs.  Heat your plate of hot dogs and salsa for 10 seconds.  Eat!

The salsa that I buy is sold in the grocery’s vegetable section.  It consists of chopped up tomatoes ( etc. ) in a small plastic tub.  That is, it consists of real vegetables.  It isn’t a glass jar of sauce. 

Don’t put your hot dog in a bun!  Eat it with a bag of microwaved popcorn.  When my popcorn is cooked, I dump “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” on top of it.  Then, I heat my popcorn and ‘butter’ for 10 seconds.

Finally, invite the Swedish Bikini Team to join you.  They won’t have to cook, and they’re sure to get laid.  Talk about a great night!  ( I always keep my Hot Wheels cars handy, in case the girls want to look at some cool rides! )

YOU Tube INVADES the DICTIONARY

I use the following dictionary:  The Free Dictionary by Farlex.  ( thefreedictionary ( dot ) com )  I paid Farlex for the “on my iPad” version.

Tonight, I looked up the following word in The Free Dictionary:  belies.  I had already looked up other words tonight.  Hence, I was using The Free Dictionary as a dictionary.  I wasn’t in the section of The Free Dictionary called “Encyclopedia”. 

Nonetheless, when I looked up “belies”, The Free Dictionary sent me to their “Encyclopedia” section.  ( I guess. )  There, I was hit with an advertisement for You Tube.  ( Owned by Google. )  The ad for You Tube was plastered across my iPad’s screen.  I had to locate “Dictionary”, at the top of my iPad’s screen, to escape from this page. 

You Tube is an awful company.  I’m saddened that You Tube has clawed itself into yet another aspect of our lives.

ARCANA

This issue of Editorial Thunder belies the gravity of the world’s situation.  The following are blatantly obvious, to those who choose to observe it:

1.  Russia will invade Ukraine.  Thanks to Joke Bidet’s fecklessness, and incompetence, Vladimir Putin is no longer hoping to conquer Eastern Ukraine.  He will attempt to conquer the entire country, and soon.

My understanding is that the following females are Kyivan Ukrainians:  Dana Taranova ( Danatar ), Ustina Abramova ( Tina ), Milanka Kudel, and Jessica Tolyda ( Kay J ).


2.  The Ukrainians are a brave people.  However, their strategic position is hopeless.


3.  A guerrilla war could ensue in Ukraine for years to come.  Where is the “we must protect the children” crowd?  America and Europe will stand idly by as Russia slaughters Ukrainians.  Dead children don’t matter to Westerners.  Only “groomed” and “molested” children do.  ( However those terms are defined. )


4.  The West is lucky that its opponent is Vladimir Putin.  He’s an older, cautious man.  If Russia were led by Alexander the Great, or by Julius Caesar, the West would join Byzantium on the ash heap of history.  


5.  Europe is waiting to be enslaved by a greater power.  


6.  Joke Bidet only cares about oppressing the American people.  Why?  Americans could vote Bidet, and the Democrats, out of office. 


7.  Expect robot trucks to be on the road soon.  The West is desperate to make truck drivers, as a profession, obsolete.  Robots obey.  Humans might not.


8.  The United States Department of Homeland Security is a cabal of idiots, issuing unconstitutional threats.  It must be disbanded. 


9.  America doesn’t have “law”.  It has two warring political parties, who engage in exercises of power.  

( Sorry, Trey Gowdy, but you’re a dupe.  A smart dupe, but a dupe all the same. ) 

Trey Gowdy is the host of “Sunday Night in America” on the Fox News Channel.  It’s a garden variety “law and order” talk show.

VIOLENCE Against CHILDREN

Who’s at fault?  Moms and Dads.

by Andrew Roller


Laura Ingraham:  Doctor McCullough, would you recommend that any child without a preexisting condition, or just any child of decent health, get these [ COVID ] vaccines at this point?  Yes or no?

Dr. Peter McCullough:  No.  And the data, there’s a paper from MMWR, end of December, from the CDC [ Centers for Disease Control ], ‘the safety data of children ages 5 to 11’, Laura, it doesn’t look good, uh, it looks like the serious conditions for the first time now, we’re seeing heart injury in children before puberty, uh, they [ COVID vaccines ] should not be given under any circumstances.

Source:  The Ingraham Angle.  February 8, 2022.  The Fox News Channel.  Via foxnews ( dot ) com.  Video title:  “White House still defends mask use as public tunes out”. 


It was late December.  I was in the grocery store.  Where was I, in the grocery store?  At the pharmacy.  I’ve never gotten any COVID vaccine. 

It’s been years since I’ve seen so-called “children” in the grocery store.  But today, I did.  I didn’t see any beautiful young girls.  I did see one or more young boys, or “children” generally.  They were, in each case, with their parents.  

I saw a boy who was 10 years old, with his mom.  He was normal and healthy.  Sadly, he trusted his mother.

What was Mom doing?  She hadn’t come to the grocery to buy food.  Both she and her son looked well-fed.  Even educated.  No, Mom, who is surely a finer person than a “pedophile” ( as Tyrus assures us ), was present to harm her son. 

How?  She was there to get her son vaccinated against COVID.  The other Moms and Dads were present for the same purpose. 

The COVID vaccine was already known to be harmful to healthy teen boys.  It wasn’t difficult to surmise that it would be harmful to “little” boys too.  Nonetheless, the pharmacy’s “medical experts”, plus the Moms and Dads, proceeded to violate the most basic principle of medicine:  “First, do no harm.” 

Hopefully, there aren’t long term effects to the COVID vaccine that remain unknown.  For instance, what if everyone who ever got the COVID vaccine becomes infertile?  Then, you can call me “Adam”, instead of “Andrew”.  I will be the father of the future.  Assuming, that is, I can find at least one beautiful girl whose parents didn’t harm her by getting her vaccinated against COVID.

But I must make another assumption, in this regard.  I need to assume that the girl’s parents don’t behave like our government did at Waco.  There, our government’s decision was as follows: 

“We had to kill the children to save them.”

Yes, I remember Waco.  And I will remember how Moms and Dads, who should have known better, chose to harm their children by vaccinating them against COVID.

I guess Tyrus doesn’t believe in the phrase, “All men are created equal.”

“All men are created equal” was written by Thomas Jefferson, who, as an “adult”, had a relationship with his 14-year-old slave Sally Hemings. 

Okay, Tyrus!  I agree that you’re: 

A.  Not equal to a pedophile. 

AND 

B.  Not equal to Thomas Jefferson. 

Too few men are the equal of Thomas Jefferson, or of a pedophile.

Deep in Kay J

How to get the most from your Only Fans subscription.

by Andrew Roller 

I subscribe to Kay J on Only Fans.  ( onlyfans ( dot ) com. )  Kay’s Only Fans web site consists of a “feed”, or scroll, of photos and videos.  Each photographic item includes a brief caption by Kay.  You can post comments to Kay’s photographic items.  

In a section called “Messages”, you can send direct messages Kay.  

Kay sends direct messages to her fans.  Such a message is usually an advertisement for a new direct message video from her. 

On rare occasions, Kay will respond, in writing, to a comment on her Only Fans web site.  Her comment is always very brief. 

On rare occasions ( in my experience ), Kay will respond, in writing, to a direct message.  Her response usually consists of two phrases, separated by a comma.  It may include an Apple emoticon.  It will always include a typewritten emoticon.  

Only Fans, as a company, censors the English language.  A number of common words are prohibited on the site.  The site does allow photos that, in another era, would have been declared obscene.   

As a result, you won’t find diary entries on Only Fans.  The creator won’t say much about her life in writing. 

Kay writes English as a second language.  It’s said that her boyfriend sometimes responds as Kay, since his English is better than hers. 

Kay never speaks in her Only Fans videos.

In a prior article, I referred to a “like” from Kay as a “heart”. 

Below, I refer to a creator’s Only Fans web site as her “account”. 


“RESTRICTED” and “BLOCKED” on ONLY FANS

“Trafalgar” is an important word in British history.  In the 1990s, The Economist magazine did an internet search, using the word.  The results it got for “Trafalgar” were the following:

1.  A picture of a monument.

2.  A term paper by an eighth grader.

3.  A game that didn’t work.

A quarter century has since passed.  Yet, the results of an internet search can still be dissatisfying, or wrong. 

Only Fans is a case in point.  It’s a popular web site.  Yet finding basic, correct information about Only Fans can be difficult. 

In a previous post, I discussed being “restricted” on Only Fans.  Any creator can restrict your access to her account.  This is the case despite the fact that you paid her for a subscription to her account. 

I said the following, based on my internet research:

1.  If you’re restricted, you can still post comments to the creator’s account.  

2.  You, and other fans, can read your comments on the creator’s account.  

3.  The creator won’t be able to read your comments on her account. 

The above, according to Only Fans, is wrong. 

A document at Only Fans states the following:  

“When a user is restricted, they will not be able to direct message you or comment on your posts.  However, they will still be able to view and like the content you post.” 

So, if you can’t post a comment, you’ve been “restricted” by the creator. 

A creator can also “block” you.  If you’re blocked, you will be shut out of the creator’s Only Fans account.  It won’t appear if you search for it.  If you’ve subscribed, you’ll get your money back.  This is true even if you subscribed for a year, and the year ( of your subscription ) is nearly over. 

A creator can hide aspects of her account from all of her fans.  For instance, Kay recently changed her status on Only Fans.  Previously, I could see whether or not she was present on Only Fans.  Now, I can’t.  

I wondered if Kay had hidden this information from me, or from all of her fans.  

I learned the following:  

1.  Kay had hidden her presence from all of her fans. 

2.  It is impossible for Kay to be present to some of her fans, but hidden from other people who are her fans.

When I speak of Kay being present, I mean as a living human.  It’s fun to think of her posts as being her.  However, her posts are simply relics of her presence in the past.  That is, her “feed” is akin to a diary that she left on a table.  

You might wonder about other aspects of Only Fans.  The same rule holds:  a creator is either available to all of her fans, or to none of her fans.  The only exceptions to this are “restricted”, and “blocked” users, discussed above. 

A creator can block countries.  This is a legal loophole that Only Fans has created ( for itself ), to avoid violating “community standards”.  I can’t imagine a creator blocking a country, since she would then block a huge group of potential fans. 


SUMMARY

1.  You’ll know you’ve been “restricted” by a creator if you can’t post a comment to her account.  You also won’t be able to send a direct message to her. 

2.  If you’ve been “blocked” by a creator, she’ll disappear from Only Fans.  ( From your perspective. )  This makes you worse off than someone who doesn’t subscribe to the creator.  That’s because a non-paying person would be able to find the creator on Only Fans, while you can’t. 


KAY J and “LIKES”

Roger Dawson once said, of low level clerks, “They have the power, and boy, don’t they love to use it.”  He was speaking of clerks who interact with the public.  ( As in, a government clerk. )

A huge power that resides in a creator is whether or not to dispense a “like”.  If you see a creator awarding “likes” to other guys’ comments, but never to yours, that means that she doesn’t like you. 

Kay is doing this to me.  She creates the notion that someone posted ‘too late’ to her current photo to receive a “like” from her.  However, I have studied how she dispenses “likes” over time.  There is no truth to the idea that you posted ‘too late’ to her current photo on Only Fans.  That’s because:

1.  Kay lives on Only Fans ( as a living human ).  I learned this by watching her presence, as shown on Only Fans.  Kay is absent from Only Fans when she’s asleep.  Otherwise, she’s present.  She’s either “Available now”, or she was on Only Fans seconds, or minutes ago.  

Generally, Kay goes to sleep at midnight ( her time ), and wakes up at noon.  Kay lives in Kyiv, Ukraine.

2.  I found myself being ‘too late’ to receive a “like” from Kay when she had posted a photo just 11 minutes before!  Another guy got a “like” from her, but I was ‘too late’.

3.  One day, I was the first to comment on Kay’s new photo.  I did not get a “like” from her.  However, a guy who posted a comment much later in time got a “like” from her. 

At the ( highly censored ) web site indexxx ( dot ) com, someone described Kay as “very friendly”.  My experience is as follows:  She’s friendly to you if you’re a new, paying subscriber.  That’s because she’s hoping to sell you her direct message videos.  Currently, new direct message videos from her cost $35.00 each.  Her current video promises the following:

“In this video you will see more than just a vagina, you will feel it from the inside😍🤤”. 

I didn’t buy her video.  Perhaps it comes with an invitation to meet Kay in her bedroom, so you can feel inside her vagina. 

Last September, I bought one of Kay’s direct message videos.  She showed me her ass, but not her boobs.  Why?  

In March of 2021, Kay got a gigantic, awful tattoo on her back.  Prior to doing so, she had a nice Only Fans account.  It offered Playboy-type photos of herself.  In addition, you got the real Kay, as she lives her everyday life.  

Since March of 2021, Kay has been hiding her tattoo.  The result is that her account has turned into Hustler.  You usually get one of the following:

1.  A close up of her boobs.  

OR 

2.  A close up of her ass.  ( Including her asshole. )

OR 

3.  A close up her her cunt. 

You never see a full body shot of Kay.  It’s just boobs, ass ( hole ), or cunt, in an endless rotation. 

You might wonder about Kay’s direct message videos.  Apparently, they follow a similar pattern.  The ‘added benefit’ is that, sometimes, Kay masturbates to orgasm.  

Kay did many videos, in her younger years, where she masturbates to orgasm.  I have a number of these.  I got them when I joined various commercial porn sites.  Mostly, I don’t watch Kay’s ‘masturbation to orgasm’ videos. 

Why?  Kay isn’t “kid cute” in any of her ‘masturbation to orgasm’ videos.  She was a mother, and ( defacto ) married, when she did each of these videos.  

In a number of them, Kay appears to be ‘going through the motions’.  She does have an orgasm.  However, it’s done for a commercial purpose.  That can be erotic.  As in, the poor thing has to masturbate for her dinner.  On the other hand, it can be soulless.  

At age 20, Kay was one of the most beautiful females ever.  Her looks have varied since then.  When she’s fat, her looks vanish.  When she’s too skinny, she looks ice cold.  Currently, she’s quite cute.  Except:  her tattoo is horrid.  As a result, she hides her tattoo.  This has had a terrible impact on the quality of her Only Fans web site.  


MORE Misinformation CORRECTED 

The following corrects information that I read on the internet.  It’s about any creator’s account on Only Fans.  ( Which, probably, you’ve paid money to subscribe to. )

1.  The “like” button is “greyed out”.  

Not true.  If you’re “restricted”, you can still “like” the creator’s posts.  ( By pressing the “like” button. )  ( Which is an icon of a heart. )


2.  I tried to screenshot a creator’s content.  All I got was a screenshot of a black box.

Not true.  You can screenshot, and screen record, a creator’s content.


MORE on ONLY FANS 

The following is true information, by me, about Only Fans.

1.  Direct messages:  “Messages” doesn’t work as it should.  You should be able to tap on “Messages” > ‘A creator’ and get access to that creator’s message thread.  

Instead, you’ll be sent to that creator’s “Home” page.  This is where she sells memberships.  If you’re already a paid subscriber, this is a pointless destination.

Keep tapping on “Messages”!  Eventually, you’ll be taken to the creator’s current message thread. 

You also have the option of sending a “New Message”.  I don’t know what this will do to the prior message thread.  It may obliterate it.  


2.  Do the following with every photo on Only Fans:

A.  Tap on it to expand it to its maximum size.

B.  Swipe on it to see if there is more than one photo.  ( It’s very easy to miss the fact that a displayed photo is the first in a gallery of photos. )

C.  If the posted content is a video, tap on it to expand it in size. 

D.  A direct message may consist of a video plus one or more photos.


3.  Many creators are on Only Fans.  However, you can’t visit each creator’s account in turn.  When you subscribe to a creator, that creator’s content flows into your Only Fans “Home” page.  Her content becomes commingled with the content of every other creator’s content.  

The result is a bunch of ( porn ) magazines, where all the pages have been ripped out, and then commingled.  It becomes impossible to study a creator’s work over time.  Her photos are scattered among every other creator’s photos.  If you just want random photos to jerk-off to, I guess you’ll be happy.  If you want to ( try to ) understand a particular girl, you’ll be lost.  


4.  She wants me right now!

A Playboy Playmate once said, “People think a Playmate floats on a cloud somewhere.  In fact, we have real lives.”

Kay does a superb job of conjuring the following mirage:  She’s alone.  She spends her days in her “flat” pining for you.  It would be so wonderful if you could visit.  But, since you can’t, send her $35.00 to “feel” inside her vagina! 

It’s possible that Kay “likes” the comments of guys who buy her direct message videos, and doesn’t “like” guys who don’t.  Never mind that, in my case, I paid her $60.00, sight unseen, for a one year subscription to her account. 


“I excitedly woke up my husband and showed him my screen, beaming with pride.” 

- u/mom_nxt_door, about her Only Fans account. 

Source:  Reddit.  Article title:  “Restricting Fans?”  u/mom_nxt_door is an Only Fans creator. 


A writer once claimed, “Only Fans exploits young women!”  I failed to determine whether the writer had, in fact, been on Only Fans.

My opinion is the opposite.  To the extent that anyone is “exploited” on Only Fans, it is the male customer.  Kay’s Only Fans presence is transactional.  She is the mother of a four-year-old son.  She has been living with the father of her son for half a decade.  ( According to a source on indexxx ( dot ) com. )  Kay isn’t floating on a cloud somewhere.  You may be a nice guy.  Kay may acknowledge that in some way.  But, mostly, you’re an ATM.  ( Automatic Teller Machine. )  You’re an ATM that Kay, probably, hopes she can visit often.

The result?  You get the illusion of Kay on a cloud, pining for you.  ( As do her other fans. )  She gets your money. 

As best I can tell, most of the creators on Only Fans are married women.  They have one or more children.  I find the idea of being a paying fan of such a person abhorrent.  However, there’s an exception to every rule and, so far, Kay is the exception for me.

Currently, Kay is offering “bundled” pricing for her Only Fans web site.  What is bundled is future months.  That is, you can subscribe to her at $15.00 for three months.  This comes to a price of $5.00 per month.  This is an excellent value!  I continue to highly recommend Kay’s Only Fans web site.  Start your journey on her site by scrolling down to August of 2020.  Her best content runs from August of 2020 to March of 2021 ( when she got a tattoo ).  Content after that date is less appealing.  


OVERHEARD

SEXUAL Violence?  

Consider this:  a “man” has a relationship with a “child”.  They interact in a physical way.  Any prior era would have called such an interaction love.  In 2022, such an interaction is called “child sexual violence”.

Yet “children” are being advised, including by their teachers in school, to undergo gender transitions.  This often consists of persuading a girl to attempt to pass herself off as a boy.  The girl may be induced to bind her breasts, so they don’t grow.  Or she may decide to have her breasts surgically removed.  The medical community blesses this, and performs the surgery. 

Additionally, a girl who’s pregnant may decide to have her baby killed, and surgically removed from her womb. 

Talk about “child sexual violence”!

Hence, love has become “violence”.  And violence ( surgery, and abortion ) is a cherished right. 


AND IN THE END…

Never accept the world as being an accurate representation of Truth.  It’s the result of a power struggle.  Modernly, males surrendered their patrimony to females.  In consequence, instead of meeting young, beautiful girls, you’re stuck with obscene photos from married mothers. 

Fortunately, Nature’s ways persist.  Anything that I write about young girls on the internet draws thousands of readers, forever.  Anything that I write about Kay J drops like a lead weight, unread, to the bottom of a deep pool.  ( Not a deep cesspool! )

PISSED at KAY J 

by Andrew Roller

The porn star Kay J has an Only Fans web site.  For a month ( 30 agonizing days ), Kay has been ignoring my comments.  I’m speaking of the public comments that I post on her Only Fans web site. 

I suppose that Kay reads my comments.  However, she never gives me a heart.  ( It’s actually a nude photo of her, on a bed, giving a double ‘fuck you’ salute with her fingers. )

( If You Tube hadn’t screwed its customers, I’d still be getting real hearts from young girls on You Tube, which I prefer. ) 

I post comments to every one of Kay’s photos.  Often, I post multiple comments to each of her photos.  I do my best to post ( highly ) complementary comments. 

Other guys occasionally post comments to Kay’s Only Fans channel.  None post a comment to each of her photos.

Yet, Kay gives other guys hearts, but not me! 

What if you experience something like this?  

Here’s my answer:

I read the comments ( again ) that Kay awarded with hearts.  Then, I posted the following comment to her latest photo on Only Fans:

“Dear Kay,

I worship your ass and I wish the guy’s sperm on your face was mine and I love your smile when you exhibit your cunt so hopefully you give me a heart!  ❤️”.

( I didn’t include the quote marks, and the last period. )

My comment to Kay ( above ) incorporated, satirically, the comments that she gave hearts to.  I feel satire is the best way to handle a matter like this. 

You might recall that, in the past, I referred to Kay as a “nude” or “erotic” model.  I didn’t like calling her a porn star.

As of February 6, 2022, Kay is a porn star.  Why?  On this date, she posted a photo of herself to her Only Fans web site.  It features her lovely face.  Splattered onto her face, and dripping from her mouth, is some guy’s sperm.  ( Presumably, the sperm of the guy who fathered her child, a half decade ago, and whom she reportedly lives with. ) 

The caption that Kay gave her photo is the following:

“I think you guessed what it is😉😅”. 

( No quotation marks, or period, appear in her caption. )

To the extent that the purpose of a porn star is to produce emotion, Kay has succeeded again!  ( By pissing me off. )


TYPE in UKRAINIAN

You can type in the Ukrainian language at the following web site:

https://ukrainian.typeit.org/ 

The web site ( above ) gives you a Ukrainian keyboard.  This keyboard is at the web site.  It leaves your iPad’s keyboard unaffected.  ( Your iPad’s keyboard will continue to type in English. ) 

You may want to add the ‘typeit’ keyboard to your list of “Favorite” web sites in your Duck Duck Go browser.  To do so, do the following:

1.  In Duck Duck Go, find the icon that consists of three black dots.  This is near the upper right corner of your iPad’s screen.  

2.  Tap the icon that consists of three black dots.

3.  An informational box appears.  In the informational box, find the following:  “Add Favorite”. 

4.  Tap on “Add Favorite”.

5.  Look to the upper right corner of your iPad’s screen.  Find the icon that consists of black flames.  

6.  Tap on the icon that consists of black flames. 

7.  Congratulations!  The internet has sent you to Hell!  

( Actually, you are at the Home screen for your Duck Duck Go browser.  Examine the web site bookmarks on this screen.  You should see the following bookmark:  “Type Ukrainian…” ) 

Now that you have ‘typeit’ in your Duck Duck Go browser, you can do a split screen on your iPad.  Launch Duolingo.  You can now type in Ukrainian, and paste what you’ve typed into Duolingo.  Use this method when a question in Duolingo demands that you type your answer in Ukrainian. 

Hence, you can now type into Duolingo:  До біса Duolingo.  


USE Duolingo’s WORD BANK

In a prior article, I complained about the language learning program called “Duolingo”.  Duolingo asked me to answer a question in Ukrainian.  At the time, I didn’t have a practical way to do so.  ( Other than by “cheating”, by dumping in an answer from Google Translate. )

What if you get such a question?  Look toward the bottom of your iPad’s screen.  You’ll see this:

“Use Word Bank.” 

Tap on “Use Word Bank”.  Duolingo will stop asking you to type your answer in Ukrainian.  It will offer you Ukrainian words on your iPad’s screen. 

Tap on the Ukrainian words that you feel will answer Duolingo’s question.  If you choose the correct words, you’ll answer Duolingo’s question correctly.

Such a solution should work for whatever language you’re learning in Duolingo. 


EARLY Bird REWARD 

In a prior article, I wrote about Duolingo’s “Early Bird Reward”.  I stated that you could earn this reward “most hours of the day”.  ( Paraphrased. )

Today, I read the following on Duolingo, regarding its “Early Bird Reward”:

“Complete a lesson by noon each day to unlock this XP boost”. 

XP stands for “experience points”.  You get experience points when you complete a lesson in Duolingo. 

Hence, if you complete a lesson in Duolingo before noon, you can return to Duolingo later in the day.  Then, by doing more lessons, you can earn points ( as usual ), plus more points ( as part of your “Early Bird Reward” ). 

Go to “SHOP” in Duolingo.  Tap on “Early Bird Reward”.  This will trigger a timer.  The timer will begin counting down.  ( Usually, from 15 minutes. )  Now, go to “LEARN”.  Start completing lessons in “LEARN” to earn extra points.

“Early Bird Reward”only applies to actual lessons ( in “LEARN” ).  You don’t get extra “Early Bird Reward” points by completing challenges in “LEAGUES”. 


OVERHEARD

ORIGINAL Sin?

“Sex existed long before humans.  It will likely continue long after humans are gone.”


AND IN THE END… 

WOMEN’s Liberation:  Is it NATURAL?

“Among gorillas and orangutans the association of the parents continues to the end of the breeding season, and has many human features.  Any approach to loose behavior on the part of the female is severely punished by the male.”

ARCANA

Dana Taranova, like Kay J, is a Kyivan Ukrainian.  Dana, at age 12, also liked giving everyone hearts except me.

Mari Kruchkova is Russian.  She didn’t give me many hearts, but she didn’t deliberately omit giving me hearts, while awarding hearts to others.  ( When she was 13. ) 

Perhaps I should reevaluate America’s strategic posture with regard to Ukraine and Russia.

Or, as Joe Biden said, “If I don’t get the heart, you don’t get the billion dollars.”  ( Paraphrased. )

I am still doing my best to learn the Ukrainian language on Duolingo.

SCREW Duolingo

by Andrew Roller 


“Instead of the cross, the Albatross  About my neck was hung.”

- The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.


I am learning the Ukrainian language.  I am doing this by using the app called Duolingo.  I also use Duolingo at their website:  duolingo ( dot ) com. 

I have never paid money to Duolingo.  I use it for free.  Also, my iPad’s microphone is turned off.  That’s so I don’t accidentally broadcast, via my iPad, my secret plan to conquer Earth. 

Today, I ran into a problem with Duolingo.  At its app, and at its web site, Duolingo wants me to answer questions by typing in Ukrainian.

I have read complaints in Duolingo’s forums about this.  A person will have done well in Duolingo, as I have, only to be hit with a demand to type in Ukrainian. 

I found information on Duolingo about how to type in Ukrainian.  As is too often the case, at many internet platforms, the information that Duolingo provided was not intelligible. 

My priority, with regard to my iPad, is to type my blog.  I type it in English.  I’m loath to turn my English language keyboard into a keyboard that types in Ukrainian!  That’s especially so since, even now, I know little Ukrainian. 

Previously, I could leave the Duolingo app, or the Duolingo web site.  I could go somewhere on the web.  I could go to a Ukrainian typewriter, or to a translation service, like Google Translate. 

That’s no longer possible.  If I leave Duolingo’s app, without quitting it, Duolingo won’t let me return.  That is, Duolingo won’t let me return to the lesson that I’m doing in Duolingo.  Duolingo forces me to start my lesson over.  I guess Duolingo doesn’t want me “cheating”. 

The same is true if I leave Duolingo’s web site.

If I quit Duolingo, I end the lesson that I’m trying to finish.  I end the lesson without receiving XP ( experience points ) for my work. 

I figured out how to screw Duolingo.  I’m doing this for two reasons:

1.  I’m not converting my English language keyboard ( however that’s done ) into a Ukrainian keyboard!  For me, that would be like turning my car into a horse-drawn buggy.  

2.  I don’t like the fact that Duolingo won’t let me leave their app.  It’s my business how I use my iPad. 

Here’s how to access a translation service while you’re in Duolingo:

1.  You’re in the Duolingo app.  Look to the top of your iPad’s screen.  An icon is there.  It consists of three infernal dots.  In this case, the icon is helpful.  It lets you create a split screen on your iPad. 


2.  Create the split screen.  Your Duolingo app will move off-screen, allowing you access to your iPad’s Home screen.  I recommend choosing the internet browser Duck Duck Go for your second screen.  Launch it.  Using Duck Duck Go, surf to a translation service, like Google Translate.


3.  You now have two screens on your iPad.  The left screen displays Duolingo.  The right screen displays Duck Duck Do.  ( With Google Translate showing. )  Read the question in Duolingo.  Type what is needed into Google Translate ( In Duck Duck Go ).  Then, copy and paste from Duck Duck Go into Duolingo.  Your answer will, inevitably, be correct. 


4.  What if you’re already on the internet?  Let’s say that you used Google to get to duolingo ( dot ) com.  Create a split screen on your iPad.  Now, Launch Duck Duck Go.  Surf to Google Translate in Duck Duck Go.


5.  You now have two screens displayed on your iPad.  The left screen displays your Google browser.  It is at duolingo ( dot ) com.  The right screen displays Duck Duck Go.  It’s at Google Translate. 

I finished my lesson, in Duolingo, by simply pasting answers into Duolingo from Duck Duck Go.  ( Which was at Google Translate. )  I enjoyed screwing Duolingo.  However, I didn’t enjoy the lesson.  There was no challenge.  I felt like a clerk filing papers in an office. 

I may be nearing the end of my ability to learn Ukrainian, in Duolingo.  This doesn’t sadden me.  Here’s why:

1.  When you start Duolingo, you complete one lesson to succeed.  You feel great.  You’re done, for that day, with Duolingo.


2.  Three months have passed since I joined Duolingo.  Now, to be successful in Duolingo, I must complete many lessons.  I have to do them every fucking day!  Otherwise, I fall behind in my “LEAGUE”.  That makes me feel like a loser. 


3.  Everyone that I follow in Duolingo appears to be unhappy.  Their progress in Duolingo has slowed.  Some people have quit altogether.  As a result, they flunk down through the various “LEAGUES” in Duolingo. 


4.  It is difficult to be competitive in Duolingo as a non-paying member.  That’s because you can’t compete in the timed tests.  You can pay gems to compete in the timed tests, but then you run out of gems.  Without gems, you can’t compete.


5.  I am still doing well in Duolingo.  I’m currently in third place in my “LEAGUE”.  That is, practically speaking, as high as I can get in any “LEAGUE”, as a non-paying member.  That’s because I can’t compete, effectively, in the timed tests. 


6.  Using Duolingo, I felt obliged to take lots of screenshots.  These were screenshots of new words, and of unfamiliar sentences.  ( Every Ukrainian word in Duolingo was, at first, new to me.  So was every sentence. )

I rarely looked at my screenshots.  They were useful when a sentence seemed impossible to remember ( in Ukrainian ).  They were valuable when, on an infrequent occasion, I attempted to obtain a “LEGENDARY” level.  ( You’ll want to obtain the “LEGENDARY” level for each of your ‘lesson circles’.  That way, you can milk each ‘lesson circle’ for 30 points every day. ) 

Screenshots burn up memory.  I don’t mind having screenshots of naked girls.  I do mind having hundreds of screenshots from Duolingo. 


7.  Do you enjoy paying bills?  I don’t.  By being active in Duolingo, you have bills to pay every day.  That’s because you have to complete so many lessons!  These ‘bills’ don’t cost money.  However, they constantly tug at your conscience.  They’re a mental burden.  Doing lessons in Duolingo becomes tedious.  That’s true even if you’re a whiz at completing them.

( You’ll get quite good at completing ‘lesson circles’ that you mastered weeks in the past. )  ( Unless, that is, you stop attending to them on a daily basis! )

Duolingo tries to compel you to be active in their program.  They want you to attend to their program at least twice every day.  ( For a lengthy period of time. )  

Most hours of the day, Duolingo gives you a “Power Boost” if you complete a lesson.  The “Power Boost” can’t be redeemed at once.  To redeem it, you must return to Duolingo later in the day.  Then, of course, you must do ( yet more ) lessons.  It’s as if you pay all of your bills for a day, only to have to pay more, as the day wears on. 

I have become quite annoyed by the demands that Duolingo makes on me!  I can’t imagine how someone who attends school, every day, would then want to spend her free time on Duolingo!  It amounts to more homework.  Such a person already has homework, from school, plus her daily classes.  

She is also likely enrolled, voluntarily, or by her parents, in an after-school activity.  ( The whole point of such “busyness” is, of course, to keep her from doing what Nature demands:  mating, and bearing offspring.  God forbid that she should do that prior to having three graduate degrees! )  ( In Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies, and Commie Superiority Studies. )  

Learning a language well is just like becoming proficient in anything.  You’re obliging yourself to make a huge commitment of your time.  Duolingo invites you into their app ( or their web site ) with a small time commitment.  Within three months, it becomes a monstrous burden that keeps its claws in you at all times.

If you have an Apple iPad, choose the “EPUB” version.  This is a quick way to get this free book into your Apple “Books” app.  For reasons explained elsewhere, I am starting to prefer the Apple “Books” app to Amazon’s “Kindle” app. 


2.  Duolingo’s forums can be accessed at:  forum ( dot ) duolingo ( dot ) com.

OR 

At duolingo ( dot ) com, choose “MORE” > “Discuss”.


3.  Surf to Google Translate:  Go to:  translate ( dot ) google ( dot ) com 

OR 

type “google translate” into your browser’s “Search” field. 


4.  Duck Duck Go:  duckduckgo ( dot ) com


5.  At Google Translate, choose which languages you want.  For instance, on the left side of Google’s translation box, I chose “English”.  On the right side of Google’s translation box, I chose “Ukrainian”.

Google Translate isn’t perfect.  However, the translations that it gives let you succeed in Duolingo. 


6.  Creating a split screen is very simple.  No additional instructions, beyond those in my article ( above ), are needed.


7.  How to quit the split screen view:

A.  You have your Google browser launched on the left side of your iPad’s screen.  Duck Duck Go’s browser is launched on the right side of your iPad’s screen. 

B.  Tap your iPad’s screen.  Tap it atop the Google browser.  A blue icon appears in the top right corner of your Google Browser.  The icon consists of four small boxes.  This is your browser’s “quit” icon.  Tap it. 

C.  The Google browser ( window ) shrinks in size.  A new icon appears in the upper right corner of your Google browser.  It’s an icon of a black “X”, in a white circle.  Tap the black “X”.  Your Google browser disappears! 

D.  Unfortunately, this doesn’t get rid of the split screen.  

E.  Swipe up from the bottom of your iPad’s screen.  Do this from the infernal white line.  It’s in the center of your iPads’ screen, at the bottom of your iPad’s screen. 

F.  You are back at your iPad’s Home screen.  Now, swipe up from the bottom of your iPad’s screen.  Do this from the center of your iPad’s screen, at the bottom of it. 

G.  STOP your finger in the MIDDLE of your iPad’s screen.  If you do this correctly, a small box will appear on your iPad’s screen.  It will be a split screen of your Google browser, and of your Duck Duck Go browser. 

H.  Put your finger on this box.  Swipe up from it.  Half of the small box will disappear from your iPad’s screen.  The box that remains will then expand in size.  However, it will still be small. 

I.  Split screen is now at an end.

J.  If you wish, put your finger on the small box that remains.  Swipe up from it again.  It will now disappear.  


8.  I now read my blog with the browser Opera:  Opera ( dot ) com.  It is the fastest browser that I’ve found.  


9.  Neville Chamberlain was surprisingly virile.  In addition to siring Tucker Carlson, he sired Laura Ingrate and Dan Bong ( ino ).  All three push an “America First” agenda on the Fox News Channel.  

By failing to stop Hitler’s conquest of Czechoslovakia, the British then had to plan to fight Hitler “On the beaches [ of England ], … on the landing grounds, … in the fields, … in the streets, [ and ] in the hills.”  ( To quote Winston Churchill. )  

If Tucker can’t be in Fallujah, I guess he’d like Fallujah to come to him.

You’ve heard the slogan:  “Child molesters!  They’re the worst!”  Who is nearly as “bad” as a “child molester”?  Someone who enables so-called “child molesting”.

Hungry for ratings, NBC used to air this T.V. show:  Dateline NBC.  All the ads that I saw for Dateline NBC consisted of anti-pedophile bile.  The same was true for another NBC show.  It was called, “To Catch a Predator”.

Guess who, right now, is enabling child rape?  NBC!

Currently, NBC is airing the Winter Olympics in China.  This is costing NBC billions of dollars.  Google reports the following:

“In 2011, NBC agreed to a $4.38 billion contract with the International Olympic Committee [ IOC ] to broadcast the Olympics through the 2020 games, the most expensive television rights deal in Olympic history.  NBC then agreed to a $7.75 billion contract extension on May 7, 2014, to air the Olympics through the 2032 games.” 

Market Realist reports the following:

“If you’re trying to guess how much NBCUniversal paid for the Olympics, get ready for some sticker shock. … The media corporation paid $12 billion for the broadcast rights of each edition of the Olympic Games from the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, to the 2032 Summer Games in Brisbane, Australia.” 
Fox News reports the following:

1.  “China [ is engaging in ] ongoing human rights abuses against Uighurs in Xinjiang Province.”


2.  “The [ U.S. ] State Department calls [ China’s abuse of the Uighurs ] a genocide.”


3.  “They [ the Chinese government ] are ruthless.”  

- Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, on February 4, 2022.  


4.  “U.S. intelligence shows millions of Uighurs forced into slave labor, and women and girls raped and sterilized.  Some survivors describe the situation as modern day concentration camps.”


5.  “U.S. corporate sponsors of the International Olympic Committee include:

A.  “Airbnb.”  ( A room rental company, for vacationers. )


B.  “Bridgestone.”  ( A tire company. )


C.  “Coca-Cola.”  ( Once a purveyor of cocaine, hence “Coca”. )


D.  “Intel.”  ( Computer chips. )  Intel’s slogan, in the 1970s, was the following:  “intel delivers.”  You betcha!  It delivers girls to rapists! 


E.  “P&G.”  ( Soap. )  Who cares about child rape, if you can wash your hands?  Like Pontius Pilate did? 


F.  “Visa.”  Some years ago, Visa pompously declared that it would block access to so-called “child pornography” web sites.  I guess Visa doesn’t care about girls who are being actually, forcibly, raped.  An advertising slogan for Visa must have reassured child rapists.  It was, “Yes you can.”  Here are other advertising slogans by Visa:  

a.  “Life takes Visa.”  ( If you’re a child rapist! )

b.  “Visa.  All it takes”.  ( Charge your next child rape to Visa! )

c.  “For things people do.”  ( Yep! ) 

d.  “Life flows better with Visa.”  ( Perhaps they’re speaking of ejaculation. )

e.  “Makes the world go round.”  ( Yep! )

f.  “Could be cheap.”  ( The five dollar child. )  “Could be expensive.”  ( The high-end child whore. )  “Visa.  All you need.”

g.  “It’s everywhere you want your business to be.”  ( For the Visa Business card. )  

( Yeah!  Child rape!  That’s a great business, right Visa? )  

h.  “Tight cunts at a discount, with Visa.”  

( According to a guy who gets off on his Visa card. )


G.  “NBCUniversal has a $7.75 billion dollar contract for broadcast rights [ for the Olympics in China ].” 


H.  “The IOC[‘s] … president denies any responsibility.”  ( Does he like child rape? )

A larger question looms.  NBC is airing the Olympics because the U.S. government is allowing it to.  You might want to ask your representative in Congress this question:

Why are you enabling child rape, by letting NBC pay billions to communist China, which rapes children?  

The next time you open a Coke, dear reader, please realize that you’re funding child rape.  That’s not bombast.  Your money goes to Coke.  Coke pays the IOC.  The IOC pays China.  China rapes children.  Hence, by buying a Coke, you’re enabling actual, forcible child rape. 

Sorry, but that’s the truth. 

People pompously say that they’ll never allow another Holocaust.  Adolf Hitler, who created the Holocaust, is conveniently dead.  These same people then ignore the ongoing holocaust involving the Uighurs. 

People pompously say, “We must protect the children!”  Then they advocate against protecting children in Ukraine, who are threatened by a Russian invasion.  People also turn a blind eye to the raping of children in China.  

Fortunately, such hypocrites don’t pay billions of dollars to child rapists.  But NBC does. 


OVERHEARD

“‘The View’ is truly the boob tube.” 

Programs like “The View” present themselves as a forum for free discussion.  In fact, the opposite is true.  It’s true for any “panel” of people who speak on T.V. 

In the 1980s, I watched CNN’s T.V. show that was called “Crossfire”.  In one episode, Tom Braden and Robert Novak spent half an hour interviewing a Holocaust denier.  I watched many episodes of Crossfire.  The episode that featured the Holocaust denier was the one that was the most memorable.  

Today, no network would feature a Holocaust denier.  Especially for half an hour!  That’s not an improvement.  I listened to the Holocaust denier with an open mind.  I also listened to his opponent on Crossfire, and to Braden and Novak.  

I decided that the Holocaust denier held views that were incorrect.  

Mostly, he was ( unconsciously ) funny to watch.  He wore a hard hat.  He did this, he said, because he was afraid of getting hit over the head with a baseball bat. 

Modernly, any “panel” of people on T.V. is highly censored.  It’s censored by the panelists themselves.  The panelists aren’t present to speak their minds.  They’re mostly just there to regurgitate the conventional wisdom.  

Until, that is, the conventional wisdom changes.  For instance, one can’t criticize homosexuality anymore, as a panelist.  

One can’t say anything that might be interpreted as “favoring” pedophilia.

One can’t question the fact of the Holocaust. 

One must be very cautious when speaking about race, gender, and, now, transgenderism.  

It gets worse.  If someone commits one of the “thought crimes” mentioned above, by saying it aloud, they aren’t contradicted by facts.  They’re not contradicted by an alternate viewpoint.  Such a person is told that she is immoral!  

Worse, the person may be “caught” speaking their “thought crime” while not at work.  For instance, in a Twitter post made late at night, perhaps while intoxicated. 

The fate of the person who commits the “thought crime” is often to be deprived of their livelihood.

So much for “free speech” in today’s corporate media. 

Speech, on T.V., mostly exists to sell products.  Products like Airbnb, Bridgestone, Coca-Cola, Intel, P&G, Visa, and NBC. 


HOLD the Olympics HERE

The IOC ( International Olympic Committee ) decides where a future Olympics will be held.  At times, the IOC picks a country with a troublesome ( to say the least ) record on human rights. 

What to do?  Let’s look at the situation, and at solutions.

1.  Everyone is told years in advance where a future Olympics will be held.

2.  Once the site for a future Olympics is announced, the United States government should do the following:  It should determine if the host country has a troublesome record on human rights. 

3.  If the host country has a troublesome record on human rights, the U.S. should host its own United States Olympics.  

Some people will say, “The U.S. itself has a troublesome record on human rights.”  That’s true.  However, what the world thinks of human rights in the U.S. is, in this case, irrelevant.  That’s because it’s the U.S. government that is deciding whether a future Olympics host has a troublesome record on human rights. 

How much will a United States Olympics cost?  Nothing.  The U.S. owns permanent Olympic facilities.  My understanding is that these facilities are north of San Diego, in California. 

Hence, the U.S. would host a United States Olympics at its permanent Olympic facility. 

The U.S. would make a profit on its United States Olympics.  That’s because the U.S. would sell tickets to an audience, and T.V. contracts to broadcasters.  It would also make money from sponsors, who display advertisements at the Olympics.

Hence, the U.S. taxpayer would make a profit from the United States Olympics.

What about the athletes?  

Each athlete would notify the United States Olympics if they wish to compete in the United States Olympics.  The athlete would do this at least six months in advance of the United States Olympics.  That way, the U.S. taxpayer would know how many athletes are going to attend. 

Any athlete could opt to attend the host country’s Olympics ( in, say, China ).  No athlete would be forced to attend the United States Olympics. 

The United States Olympics would be held at the same time as the host country’s Olympics. 

Let’s say that you’re a runner.  You run a mile in 3:45 minutes, in the United States Olympics.  Your time is the fastest in the United States Olympics.  You win. 

A runner in the host country’s Olympics runs a mile in 3:46 minutes.  His time is the fastest in the host country’s Olympics.  He wins.

Who is the fastest runner in the world?  You are!  That’s because you ran the mile in 3:45 minutes, while your closest competitor ran the mile in 3:46 minutes. 

Weather, and other factors, may affect how you ran, and how your competitor ran.  My plan for a United States Olympics isn’t perfect.  It does, however, free Olympic athletes from participating in the Olympics of country ( China ) that rapes girls.


A Fun SPORT

Polish your comedy skill as you polish your hand. 

by Andrew Roller

It’s easy to crack a joke that insults a person.  But what if the person is an Only Fans beauty?  You probably don’t want to insult her. 

Every day or so, Kay J posts a photo of herself on her Only Fans web site.  I try to post a joke about her photo.  I post my joke as a “comment”.  Here are three of my recent jokes:


1.  Dear Kay, 

I plan to be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Right now, I’m building the muscles in my right hand.  I’m also building the muscles in my wiener.  Your photos keep me working out every day!  Thank you!  ❤️ 👙 ❤️  


2.  Dear Kay,

I am pleased to inform you of the following:

When I become president, you will have met all of the qualifications to be my intern!

Congratulations!

🍼 🍼 


3.  Dear Kay, 

In America, there’s an expression:  

“Kiss my ass!”

May I kiss your ass? 

🌺 🍑 🌺  


You might worry that, by posting the “wrong” joke, Kay J might block you.  Since you paid for access to her Only Fans web site, you’ll lose your money.  Right?  Wrong. 

Here’s why:

1.  Any model on Only Fans can put you on a “Restricted” status.  What does that mean?  It means that she won’t be able to see your comments.  However, all of her fans ( on Only Fans ) will still be able to see your comments!


2.  Any model on Only Fans can “Block” you.  What does that mean?  

A.  You will no longer have access to that model’s Only Fans web site.

B.  However, Only Fans will refund your entire subscription price for that model’s web site.  This is true even if, say, you’re on the last day of a long subscription. 

Perhaps you want to be the next Greg Gutfeld.  ( Not, hopefully, by marrying some lady, when there are so many beautiful young girls in the world. )  Try your hand at posting jokes to the photos of an Only Fans model.  It’s a challenge.  The good news is, after you post your joke, you can jerk off to the model’s photo!  That’s good practice for jerking off to Kat Timpf when you crack a joke on the Gutfeld show! 

Gutfeld!  My wiener is ready!  ( Along with my joke. )  Call me! 


AND IN THE END…

THE Importance of MARRIAGE

( “Procter” was not short for “proctologist”. )

From P&G’s web site:

“Our goal is to use every opportunity we have—no matter how small—to set change in motion”.  

( More actual, forcible child rape will definitely “set change in motion”! )

6.  My interpretations of companies’ advertising slogans are intended to assist the companies in having a clearer moral perspective.  For instance, one would hope that, in the future, Visa will consider the full repercussions of who it shovels money to.  If South Africa still practiced apartheid, would Visa fund an Olympics in South Africa? 


7.  Apple’s app, “Pages”, is responsible for the reversed quotation mark in my article on child rape. 


8.  I’m not sure how Only Fans handles the final 24 hours of a subscription.  In the Apple world, you need to cancel a subscription ( to whomever ) 24 hours PRIOR to the renewal date of your subscription. 

Of course, if you’re “Blocked” by a model on Only Fans, she is the one who is cancelling your subscription.


9.  You might wonder how Kat Timpf got her last name.  It’s an acronym.  “Timpf” stands for “That’s [ an ] IMpossibly Pretty Fucker.”  ( At least, that’s what the guy who gets off on his Visa card claims. )
