To Hell With Your Facebook Group

Just dumped a local group from my life forever on Facebook. What a bunch of ignorant people. It started with a woman asking for help to feed her children because they ran out of money and the food bank is over limit and gives very little now. Well all kinds of twats jumped on her telling her to get a job and much more. They no literally nothing about the families situation and they don't care, they live to look down on others and attack them for daring to be poor, or disabled, or whatever.

I've seem far too much of it over the two years I've been a member and I'm freaking done with it. No more. This is every day someone gets attacked by ass-hats looking to offend anyone they can. You would think there was no mods at all, but there is. They seem to only take down posts for people looking to sell things and so on, while allowing businesses to post ads all they want. Not one of this group of malevolent twats has been booted or even restricted.

I'm in it to ask questions now and then and help people when I can. But no more of this hate filled nonsense. Just today someone posted a MEME with a soldier with 100 arrows sticking out of him. The caption is "when you ask anything in this group" - got that right on the nose. If mods allow anarchy, all they are doing is messing up the reputation of our city. People see this endlessly and think it's how people on average are here. That's so not true, most people in Moose Jaw are kind, giving and generally great to be around.

Not to mention allowing obvious spammers and scammers to join the group literally daily. Then you report a post for spam or scam and it stays up for hours if not all day. What is the use of these people? They are not moderating anything it seems.

Hell the mods have even allowed things that are not legal, like posting a photo of a house and an address and saying all kinds of unproven things about the people. WTF? This is called Doxing and is literally not legal to do, no to mention a TOS violation of Facebook. The posts are never pulled. But god help someone trying to feed their children. Sigh.

Nope I stayed two years too long, I should have been gone the first freaking day.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

10 Questions Answered

Image
1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
