Observations on the world and its inhabitants
Oh well, here we go again. Another social media conversation ending with me being called arrogant. The outline is below. So it made me wonder again what is the definition of ‘arrogant’ – and by extension condescending. There’s a wide open information superhighway where anyone can find the dictionary meaning. Google is your friend. Ahhh.. ...
One or more of the following videos (below) is expected to a 90% probability, to disappear within the next 3 months from Youtube. Just to be clear – that means there is a 10% probability that they will remain. Did I make a prediction? I did NOT! I made a statement estimating probability! Jeeez. And ...
Well no, they did not come to arrest me. So like again, there is another knock on the door yesterday. I peep out without opening my outer door, to see who’s there. Two females [This does not mean I’m sexist! They actually appeared to be females, and it is not my business to go do ...
Just watch this conversation below which happened just a few minutes ago. I think I have a problem. I’m being hounded by idiots!! Caller: Hello how are you? [In a polite tone] Me: Who’s calling please. Caller: Xxxx from [whatever ] Me: Someone from your organisation called yesterday – I don’t think it was you. ...
The more I look at and think about so-called ‘social media’ the more I come to some very different perspectives (in general – meaning exceptions excepted as you might expect). 1. Social media is more about prying on what other people are doing. 2. People comparing themselves with other people. 3. Living in separate worlds ...
Patterns in general, are important in life because wherever we find them they allow for a certain kind of predictability. Come on – if you know someone very well it is not uncommon to know how they might react to something you say or do. You must recall a certain tone in one of your ...
1. Nick Leeson was rogue trader and criminal who brought down Baring’s bank in the 1990s. 2. Nick Leeson was a derivatives trader – aka gambler (to most people). 3. Derivatives trading and gambling are good ways to lose money. 4. It is all illegal – why else would they have imprisoned him. 5. I ...
Within the last 24 hours I received an email from someone asking for some thing or the other. It caused a waste of my time. How? 1. I had to read it about 4 times in attempting to understand what was being asked. 2. In the end I did not understand. 3. I had to ...
Stupidity is the name of a virus that will cause the human species to be exterminated. – Captain Walker (April 2014).
The sequence below is so basic. There was an error on their site which led to their offer of 50% discount not being applied properly. I begged them to take a careful look at it and had even provided them with screenshots. This is to their sales department. In essence they could not see the ...
The Cap has been seemingly laying low over the last few weeks. Of course the Cap never lays low in reality. I’ve been on assignment observing the natives in Liverpool. Need I say that stupidity has hounded me like a bleeding plague? Just last night (03/04/2014), the Cap is in some Tapas place. Then some ...
Bitcoin is now causing massive panic attacks all around the globe. People are pointing fingers and blaming Bitcoin!! You can hear the cry now “Bitcoin is a scam! Stay away from Bitcoin!” etc. Yet another Bitcoin exchange – namely Mt Gox, implodes. Is that because of something especially devious about Bitcoin? Does Bitcoin have some ...
I’m quite amused and have been for sometime about how people make important or even unimportant decisions based on appearances – it’s as if facts are irrelevant. Hmm…..WTF am I talking about? Some may be thinking. Here’s the thing: people like to feel that they are rational and intelligent, but in the end most people ...
The following is a conversation with someone online. At the heart of this is that I only need a simple yes or no answer to very straight forward question. I felt like Jeremy Paxman The question is: “Is TxxxRxxx regulated by a financial authority of some sort?” As you will see below I had to ...
Well, I don’t know what to call this post. I mean it could be ‘Idiocy 29.0’ – I don’t care! This is about a phenomenon among the humans where if you say to them on such and such a date “Don’t do [this] ever”, the human then agrees. But then something happens with the passage ...
Yesterday I went to a famous restaurant in my home town. It wasn’t very expensive – and in any case I chose to afford their prices. So, what’s the fuss this time – you’re probably wondering. That’s one wine glass with wine in it at extreme left (though you see two glasses – it’s a ...
This video speaks for itself. Distribute this to as many people as you know. Copy and share this link: http://youtu.be/OkTnCtg_Omk
It’s an amazing age of the internet; the greatest time to be alive and to make one’s presence known – but.. but..these are dangerous times!! If you get your image or personal details out there on the internet, bad things will happen to you. People will find you, harass you, stalk you, send you stuff ...
There are some people in this world who seem to think that unless they are told, they won’t know, couldn’t have known or ought not to have known. So you have to tell them every bledy thing i.e. turn left, turn right, shut up, speak up, don’t say this, say that, this is not appropriate, ...
This is why I wonder sometimes whether I’m suffering with Asperger’s Syndrome or sumik. I just don’t see the world as others do – and you know what – I like it like this!!! Leave me with whatever syndrome I suffer – untreated! It’s the rest of the world that is stupid or mad! Read ...
Me and a crew member [instead of crew member and I – cuz I decide how I write, or need to write] were approaching an automated checkout. Crew member becomes flustered that I approach the machine at all, so he departs. He knows about my history with machines!! LOL. I press a button on screen ...
I’ve been watching a phenomenon over the last year, which I refer to as quasi-logic. I don’t know what other word is more appropriate. So I just decided to pic the closest in my imagination. It’s a very painful thing to report on. I’ll try to explain but words in text minus expletives are weak ...
This is brutal – as you might have come to expect. This is the situation. You send an email to someone. You double check that it’s left your email box and it shows as ‘sent’ in your sent box. You wait on a response. There is no response or acknowledgement after several days, which is ...
As many will know The Cap has so far escaped arrest and extradition, for his ‘tamasic’ writings in relation to Rock-crawlers causing riots. Diehard rock-crawlers intolerant of all things critical of Rock-modus-operandi, had asserted that people have a right to protest if they are frustrated. Enter ‘Chaos’ – the ‘new’ redefinition of Riot! Undeterred, the ...
For this post, I’ll be judged as arrogant, stubborn, grandiose, grudging non-eligibility for knighthood etc… spare me the adjectives – I know them all and I use a thesaurus regularly. Get this – I’m called by an automotive insurance company representative, at a pre-arranged time, a few moments ago. They ask me name, first line ...
I’m not sure if people truly understand what ‘psychoanalyse’ means. In fact I doubt most people truly grasp what the concept is about. Why? In about 90% of instances, when people ask me what I do and I say ‘shrink’ – they respond with some comment that includes the word ‘psychoanalyse’. Most of these comments ...
