again. Time flies when you’re not thinking about it. There’s nothing to report today. It’s been raining, so now it’s humid. Where is all the fucking rain coming from? This is why I built a greenhouse. It rains so much lately that nothing can grow properly. It just gets saturated. Yesterday I was leaving some feedback for things I had bought on Ebay. I think it’s helpful for others for vendors to be rated, that’s why I do it. I had bought some Permethrin spray from somebody and I wanted to say how much I hated ticks, and that this stuff was great at keeping them away. My comment was rejected because Ebay “doesn’t allow” profanity.
Since fucking when is hating something profanity? The online Oxford dictionary describes profanity as “blasphemous or obscene language”. The word hate is neither of these things. Who gets to rewrite the fucking English fucking language deciding perfectly good words are now profanity? That ubiquitous online source of horse shit and propaganda apparently does now. Wikipedia tells us that “Profanity involves the use of notionally offensive words for a variety of purposes, including to demonstrate disrespect or negativity, to relieve pain, to express a strong emotion, as a grammatical intensifier or emphasis, or to express informality or conversational intimacy. In many formal or polite social situations, it is considered impolite (a violation of social norms), and in some religious groups it is considered a sin.Profanity includes slurs, but there are many insults that do not use swear words.” What the actual fuck.? Profanity could be fucking anything under that definition.
I guess I fucking hate Ebay, Wikipedia and the cunts who have taken upon themselves to be the cunting Thought Police now. Down on Planet Australia, some poor sod playing professional football was banned for 5 matches for making a “homophobic slur” to another player. (this is happening quite often) There are no details what the homophobic slur consisted of. In the light that the perfectly innocuous word “hate’ is now considered profanity, a homophobic slur could be anything. Did he call the other guy a fag, a poofter, a queer, a fairy, a mattress muncher, a homo……what? Or are there now words which have been designated homophobic that we are not yet aware of?
The only way to find out is to try them out on people who are gay, and see if they start clutching their pearls and shrieking about homophobia. How else are we to know? We did see the homophobic criminal, publicly shamed in any case, as he was forced to admit that he had done a terrible thing. That’s the most important aspect. Public humiliation rituals are all the go now. The whole thing is fake and gay in my opinion, and I hate it and ticks too. Oh, and fuck these people.
Happy Friday.
