Threads Is Terrible, I Quit

Image
Used Tombstone Builder for the graphic. I have to say Threads was DEAD from the start. I hung in there for about a year or so, then the bots came. I'm talking I was getting 300 bots following me a DAY and 50 to 100 spam comments every DAY. To be honest, I was really not having all that much fun on Threads. Also literally NONE of the services I like to keep in on, are on Threads at all - they are all on X instead. So I deactivated my account and am not going to go back literally ever. It was just a complete waste of my time being there. Most of the people I know that tried it where done with it in a very short time, I hung in a LOT longer than most, and I was not rewarded - it never got less dull. If I read one day it is shutting down, I'll not miss it at all. The only reason I did not deactivate a long time ago is that it used to be linked to your Instagram and you would kill your Instagram if you did. They FINALLY fixed that and separated the two services. To be honest, if I d...

Super Long Movie Night

Image
1. Colossus - The Forbin Project (1970) IMDB 7.1/10 ME 7/10 2. Pink Floyd The Wall (1982) IMDB 8.0/10 ME 10/10 3. Time Bandits (1981) IMDB 6.9/10 ME 6/10 4. Zardoz (1974) IMDB 5.8/10 ME 5/10 5. Phantom of the Paradise (1974) IMDB 7.3/10 ME 9/10 6. Naked Lunch (1991) IMDB 6.9/10 ME 7/10 All of these movies can be found on Internet Archive. I already own digital copies of them, so don't need to stream them from there. BTW it seems that Google completely FUCKED the editor on Blogger, so I had to format this in word, then copy it here, I could NOT change the colors in the editor, and the HTML view is a thing from hell, as it's one long string - sigh.

150K Plays Challenge - I Will Never Make It

Image
This is a challenge that Instagram has. I thought I could do that, all I needed to do is post more reals than usual. Well here's the trick - only the first 100 reals you post from the starting point are counted, anything after that and it just ignores them. I noticed that it stalled at 102K views for days. I had gotten 2K views on a LOT of reals I posted after it stopped counting, and was wondering what the hell? Then I looked into it, and what they never tell you is it just stops counting new reals after the 100 are in it's file. So small names like me with only around 1500 followers will never get there, unless I'm a woman with big boobs willing to use them for views. Just your average person making normal content has no chance at all. I also am not willing to clickbait the videos like I've seen so many others do. I have to say, most big channels on Instagram seem to be ripping off others content to use and getting in a pile of views and some even advertising revenue ...

Really Tough Jigsaw Puzzle

Image
This was a hell of a hard one for one reason or the other. Took me way longer than it should have. 1 hour 40 minutes and 35 seconds. Maybe because I'm literally freezing in my  apartment. It's really cold in here - the heat is off and if's only 8C outside right now. Anyway, enough for today, these 494 piece puzzles will take me a while to get through.

3 'B' Movies to Watch (Movie Night)

Image
Colossus - The Forbin Project At: Archive.org Phantom of the Paradise (1974) At: Archive.org Pink Floyd The Wall (1982) At: Archive.org There is is 3 old B type movies for you to watch in a row. OK The Wall is a cult classic, but many do consider it a B movie all the same. For some reason I thought "Forbin" was Forbidden for years. Also all poor resolution.

A Sign From an Angel? Perhaps

Image
So I was in a bind. I needed something and I could not get it. I needed it rather badly. I say the 11:11 and remembered that it is supposed to mean an angel is watching over you. I don't really believe that, but in this case it just may have been true. A friend saw my plight and sent money to help me. So tomorrow, it will be in my bank and I will be able to go and get what I need. It seems every single time I am in true need of something, that I am blessed with help from others in many ways. The exception to this is cleaning my apartment, that seems to not be something the Universe wants me to have happen. I can't explain it, it just always happens. I have great friends and great followers online. They are willing to help me, even if it's just with advice. I am blessed.  

Windows Update System Sucks

Image
Really Windows 10? So I went out of my way to try and disable updates. I even did the registry hack. It just up and fixed it somehow and after a couple months, this hit. You have to realize, that when my PC updates, it's almost useless to me. It hits the hard drive so hard and so often, that it takes forever to save anything. It also sucks a lot of resources, so it slows the hell out of anything I'm trying to run. I have to ask, why the hell does it ask me what hours I use the PC, when it will just freaking update anyway while I'm using it in that time frame. I wish to GOD that I could delay the update instead of it just doing it in the background and leaving me wondering WTF is slowing everything down. My Android phone tells me it just downloaded an update and ASKS me if I want to install it yet, or delay it for later - but freaking windows just up and does it. The best you can do is to hit the delay for 7 days button, if you happen to notice it downloading and before it s...

Crying Cat AI Generated Image With Prompt To Try

I have a sad, so here is a sad kitty. Done in Bing Copilot Image Generator . Prompt: A realistic fluffy cat sits at a table in a coffee shop drinking a cup of coffee and eating a cookie while the cat cries tears from his eyes. The room is dark and other cats sit at other tables. Through the window you see the city street at night. Now if I just knew why it put a cat outside doing the splits while holding a pole.  

Disney Plus on Android TV is NOT Worth it

Image
The app on my android TV is completely FUCKED. It won't play more than a second, then it dies and won't work at all. I reinstall and the same thing happens. It's been stalling for months, and now it's toast. I'm NOT watching it on my computer or phone - I'm just not, so they can get stuffed! I unsubscribed from the service. I'm not paying them $13.31 a month to NOT be able to watch anything. I'm just completely done with them. They app was blowing up, it updated and it's even worse now. NOPE I'm done. They can't get their act together, so I'm never coming back to them. They keep jumping the price every year, and can't even get someone to fix the bloody app. Why bother with them. From the looks of the reviews on the app store for Android TV, a LOT of people are having the same issue and are just done with them as well. First it stalled for literally close to a year, and the audio would go out of sync, and you would have to bail out of ...
