Exposing Pseudoscience

Grinds my Gears: Reading Fiction Is Pseudoscience  What's pissing me off today? 8/8/2017 Yes, I understand the irony of you reading my blog, but this is non-fiction. You're learning something, not much, but you can at least walk away after reading and say you accomplished something useful. Being forced to read works of fiction in school, work or by your girlfriend who joined a book club is just bullshit. I learned nothing and could have spent that time better. I could have been watching TV or lying in bed. I think we can all agree that reading sucks ass. It's an outdated form of media. These modern authors just expect me to use my "imagination" to picture what's going on in the story. Guess what nerds? Movies have taken your job and made it a million times better. Schools and books clubs need to toss all their fictional books in the furnace and turn them into something more useful: tinder! That's right, the only thing fiction books are good for is ...

Grinds my Gears: Touch Screen Keyboards Are  Pseudoscience  What's pissing me off today? 8/6/2017  Touch Screen Keyboards, Touch Screen Games and Touch Screens in general What's pissing me off today? Well the fact that the whole world is obsessed with touch screens as being "the way of the future" and refusing to go back to the days of a keyboard attached to their smart phone. There's a large group of people who are probably just as annoyed: people with fat fingers, greasy fingers, sweaty hands, clumsy people and anybody who's ever had to use their phone after getting something messing on their hands. It's a stupid idea and I don't get what the big deal is about a touch screen with a physical keyboard.  That pisses me off! 

Grinds my Gears: Fat People on Scooters Is  Pseudoscience  What's pissing me off today? 8/3/2017  Part 1 of an endless series on things that stress me out So, what is pissing me off today? A fat guy on a rascal scooter at the grocery store, that's what. This would be perfectly fine if he had an actual disability of some kind, but I could clearly see him walking into the store and he was able to get himself into the scooter. The store employees didn't even ask to see some paperwork that he needed the scooter, so he basically let himself be lazy and the store doesn't try to stop it. Society has given up on solving the obesity problem!  Giving a person a wheelchair or some other mode of electric transportation does not  make sense, to anyone. How can the "fatty fatty two-by-four, can't get through the kitchen door" lose weight if he/she never walks at all? I always thought doctors took an oath to protect their patients even from themselves, but...
