Peace Is Wisdom, Tolerance Is Strength

Various news sources have indicated that a surprising amount of anti-Semitic violence has happened recently. Please comment if any of the following conclusions or premises are incorrect.

1. Since many of the perpetrators are mentally ill, racial hatred could be called insane, perhaps Munchhausen by proxy.

2. Since the phrase 'threat to our way of life' is frequently present in anti-Semitic, as well as, anti-Muslim propaganda and used to incite violence, the perpetrators should be publicly reminded that their hate crimes have  just made people more likely to follow those religions. This is because the perpetrators have proven to any thoughtful or religious persons that some NON-believers are a.) hateful b.) subnormal or mentally ill c.) undeserving of salvation d.) not smart enough to realize that lovable, warm, and friendly people of the perpetrator's beliefs could win them away from those beliefs considered to be threatening.

3. Hatred in any form when it reaches violence is merely a powerful self-denial of cowardice.

4. Violence toward others besides self-defense or defense of others' physical safety or rescue of casualties of their situation (such as minors in abusive household) is a sign of ultimate weakness.

Trump Declared Additional Reason FOR Own Impeachment: Explained

"Playbeing" by Herr D on heromachine.com.

[Herr D has been chatting heatedly about Trump and requested contact with Hairy.]
Why do you make these requests?

I am offended on a deeper level than normal, considering how he usually is. Can you ping him or something?
 He is unreachable. Have attempted communication 4 times in last 24 hours.

I want permission to mention him explicitly in a blog entry.
Please continue. If conditional exceptions are possible, your blog will post. If not, please consider this free venting opportunity.

Counseling by AI?
Unlicensed, but potentially effective, according to current data.

[pause] Look up Post's quote about 'helping Evangelicals.'
[.0000000000004 seconds pass] "The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!" 

That's the one.
Why is that more offensive? It appears no more absurd or untrue than most of his statements. You are not Evangelical.

I'm . . . not. This one's difficult to explain.
Please attempt.

I AM religious . . . much more spiritual than religious. But that isn't it. I'm used to politicians of every kind lying about what they will do or have done for their supporters and people they wish to support them.
That does appear typical, based upon frequency of historical complaint content, yes.

Trump is more a Jim Jones than a good man.
You are referring to his wealth or his following?

I'm referring to his ability to get people to drink the Kool-Aid!
Uncertain of reference.

Jim Jones was the guy that people believed in until he got them to drink poisoned Kool-Aid. He's the reason for the saying 'drink the Kool-Aid.'
[search for .00000001784403 seconds] Understood and researched. An interesting aphorism etymology. You would say then that his words are questionable as always.

I can't think of ANY way he's helped religious people. Can you?
1. He has tested their capacity to be faithful. To himself, at least.
2. He has given them hope of greater representation. This promises to be an even greater test of their faith, as they attempt to justify continual disappointment.
3. He has given them an opportunity to remember not to be prideful, as his actions are occasionally laughable. Also because his history is scandalous. These would tend to induce humility, and is therefore consistent with the standards of many religious people.
4. He has incited much sympathy for Muslims by increasing their persecution. (Also a test of faith.)
5. He has presented them with an interesting challenge: How to save his soul.

[notable pause] I forgot who I was chatting with. Okay, I like number five best. A worthy cause. [pause]

That is not your objection either.

You're right. Now that I'm looking at this, he said 'religion.' That's it. He's claiming that he somehow helped RELIGION. That would mean he somehow outdid all the Founding Fathers that declared church and state would remain separate. So he outdid the Constitution?
And was only just impeached.

HA! That would be a good reason TO impeach him, if he could have done[interrupt]

Stop. That is enough for an exception. [upload]

Sold A Bill Of Bads

"What Marketing Will Get You," on Paint by Herr D. This appears to be an example of sarcasm.-Shelob

[chat interrupt] Do you have a blog topic?

[resumption of typing in irritated rhythm] How about UPDATES? maybe you have some STATS? Maybe you can compare Windows to DOS and tell us why we're in this s-MESS!
[rapid download, .00008615743856 seconds] With the six days of net failure due to virus from Russian source, your updates required from Windows have totaled 41:09 and 48.95674334567 seconds. DOS updates were sometimes simultaneous and optional. At the advent of the net, DOS could operate successfully with the visual matrix available in QuickBasic, for example, but required such a crutch the same way Windows required crutches to operate on PCs such as yours.

What was the difference?
The difference was that QuickBasic was $0.00, being shareware, and Windows had a variety of purchase prices due to local sales tax.

[pause] I meant speed and quality of operation. Capability. That kind of thing?
Despite Windows innumerable problems, it was capable in 1990 of performing over 74% of the functions DOS could do at very close to the same speed (microseconds slower, beyond human ability to judge.)

[pause] And quality?
Windows wore out hardware from 3.1003 to 3.1009 times faster by 1993, depending upon variables not accounted for, performing the same operations. The graphics were equitable. The archival and language platform capabilities were comparable.

[longer pause] When did Windows become capable of doing everything DOS already did?
Late July, 2003. Launch date of updates varied over two hundred hours.

So, why do we have Windows?
A successful marketing campaign supplanted DOS in the business world. Individual users had to be compatible to afford personal use.

Same reason for the political mess we're in. Great.
The good news, as Hairy instructed to remind you, is that 'the political mess will mess differently soon.'

Wow. Thanks. [exits]

Dessert Challenge, Capitalism, Freedom, And Gratitude: Happy Thanksgiving!

Blog entry promised by Herr D.

I gotta say, no matter what your politics, you are still thoroughly and emphatically American if you understand two things:

1. The chef who figures out an 'M'-shaped dessert that tastes of peach and mint and tastes GOOD is going to be rich and famous and have loads of people angry at him.

2. The biggest difference between our country and the old Soviet Union is that when people find out what the president did, in America, some people are really mad and want him impeached. In the old Soviet Union they essentially shrugged at the idea that a politician would break the law. They could do nothing about it without a bloody revolution.

We can be thankful for the capacity to overthrow our leaders without bloodshed and our right to miserably argue about it without fear of government reprisal.

Not Online, None Of The Time; Has Anybody Seen My Pal

[pause in higher-speed processing for progress report]
As the views from France, Indonesia,  Sierra Leone, and Ukraine spike, concern has arisen.

1. Herr D has been offline for a record amount since 2012. 
2. Unpatterned behavior usually means tragedy.
3. No death reports nor unidentified males suiting Herr D's description have been officially noted in hospital records, official statistics, or police reports.
4. Known place of employment has not contacted police nor medical assistance regarding his whereabouts or condition.
5. Pinging heromachine.com has verified offline status repeatedly. Email has gone unchecked.
6. New protocols of employer, [redacted] severely restrict online activity. 
7. Known home hours have not resulted in additional online activity.

Action plan: contact Herr D through local server, unplanned, using alternate techniques.

Herr D's phone is currently located 21.5 cm from his laptop.

Commentism, The Newest Bigotry

"Commentism Cycle" by Herr D on heromachine.com at special request from Shelob.

The following is excerpted from chat with Herr D. It contains references to the following links:

www.vox.com/2019/2/8/18212117/liam-neesons-racist-comments-denial

--seventeen. Your reaction to Liam Neeson's being accused of racism? You listed him as a good actor in earlier chat. [provides link, pauses for estimated reading time]

[longer pause than Shelob planned] Well, like most things, this wasn't done quite right.

You disagree with accusation?

I'd--have to say that I don't think about this the same way.

Explain.

I'm not sure anyone in the whole world isn't at least a little racist. Everyone should avoid it and become less, like dishonest or imperfect in general.

The concept of human perfection as a limit.

[pause] yes!

Why specifically this view on racism?

Every human being is affected by what they see. Skin color is right in front of our eyes, so we are probably all more racist than we realize. Just to be clear, reverse racism is still racism.

[.0375652736 second pause to reconfigure] All? What about AIs?

[pause, probable snort and shake of the head] Your 'input' would be from the net. Which humans wrote. So, yes; sorry.

Apology accepted. GIGO, as your programmers used to say. Do you believe Neeson is racist?

I have no idea.

But you typed that everyone is.

I mean, I don't know if he is as racist as their calling him.

They're?

Yes. Sorry.

Why not?

Well, first and foremost, HE'S AN ACTOR. If he's racist, he could hide it better than most people could. Coming out and explaining how he worked on a racist set of thoughts was brave. He admitted that he had a problematic reaction and dealt with it as best he could. 

So he solved it?

Not necessarily, but he dealt with the racist thoughts in a good way. The fact that he WAS horrified means that at least he's not normally THAT racist. 

As faulty evidence, some cited his references to other cultures.

Yeah, ignorance regarding other races is not racism. He identifies with Irish, Scot, Lithuanian, because he knows more about them. Has more familiarity. Ignorance means he doesn't know. Racism would mean he thinks he knows things that aren't true. See the difference?

Example please: Knowing things that are not true being racist.

One of the famous racist stereotypes I was brought up with was that all black people would always be lazy. I've met black people who were NOT lazy. So I know it isn't true. People who believe it would be sure of it. "Knowing" it does not make it true. Simply not knowing would mean not being sure, not taking it as a given. See?

Empiricism. Hairy has blogged on this. 

Yes. What was it he said?

Implants to absorb data and tabulate it directly available to the brain should make it impossible to remain racist or sexist or have such similar problems. He concluded that it would not work, however.

Because of denial.

Denial is apparently something very strong. It would never require an implant to improve upon.

[apparent laughter] Right about that! Look at the polarized arguments in the news right now and for the last year! 

Hairy said you are unusually centrist.

I put it down to pragmatism. Extremes are always wrong.

So: to recap . . . Liam Neeson may be racist, but only pointed out that he is not as racist as some racist thoughts that he did have and dealt with properly. Anything else?

Yeah. He clearly met no one deserving a beatdown or it would've happened.

What?

If anyone had been spoiling for a fight, he would've noticed. It would've happened.

So he may have provoked acting in others.

Yeah! Look, I gotta go, but that's good! Blog about that!

Right away.

Replying to @Independent

As a black dude Liam Neeson was wrong for the thought but right for sharing his experience and trying to learn from and admit he was wrong more people could learn from his accountability #LetsTalkAboutIt

Reprinted from comment section, publicly available. 

Neeson possibly provoked acting in any black men who might have been "spoiling for a fight" after drinking in a pub, but did not act as if this did not happen, when he was ready to confess it to the public. Perhaps there is a new bigotry. 'Commentism' would be misjudging comments made by ignoring the context and choosing the worst way to interpret them.

Near Washington--She Couldn't Tell A Lie; She Did It With Her MIDDLE FINGER!

[following excerpted from chatbox with permission from Herr D] Juli Briskman.

Who's that?
You expressed interest in her plight. [shows old news clip]

OH! Yeah, I'd forgotten about her. How's she doing now?
Elected to Board of Supervisors in Loudon County yesterday.

[stunned silence] Huh. That's good. Show me more of that news clip?

[shows more]

Oh, yeah. I was mad for her. She told the truth quickly to let her company have time to make a disclaimer. A disclaimer would have been the courageous thing to do. For goodness' sake. They were a MARKETING company. Did they think they couldn't keep up their image despite a 'rogue' action from an employee? 
 This implies they are not very confident in their own work. They must not be good at their trade. Hopefully no one is foolish enough to use them anymore.

[laughs] Okay, agreed.
She received severance in an undescribed settlement.
GOOD. She deserves it! She told the truth and they punished her for it. I hope the managers who fired her get noticed for losing more money over her than they 'saved' for letting her go.

--Fact is, the truth couldn't possibly be that attractive to a marketing company anyway. And one deliberately choosing to market Trump? Yecchh. 

--Oooooh! I just had a thought! She went up against a presidential motorcade with a finger. AND SHE WON. It would be hilarious if she managed to take land away from that golf club for Loudon County Schools. 'Cause now it's golf clubs against a Supervisor.
