Slut Shaming, or How I Define "Slut" and "Promiscuous"

This is going to be short and to the point. I am not going to use flowery language, "big" words or use metaphors. There is a huge discussion going on across the internet about what is being called "slut shaming." SS for short is basically shaming, calling out, looking down on, or talking shit about women who are considered "sluts." However slut is a subjective term, isn't it? Everyone of us comes from different backgrounds, so our opinion of what a slut is differs. For me, the main focus boils down to respect. The anti-slut shamers are saying that the problem here is the disrespect these women experience due to a long history of double standards. We shouldn't separate what men due and what women due in regards to sex. Some people disagree, and believe that women should be held more accountable for "promiscuous" behavior. Once again, promiscuous behavior is subjective. Uhhhh .....

THE WALKING DEAD SUCKS THIS SEASON! *RAGES*, or How I Don't Care About Your Pea Pods, Riiiick!

Season 4 of The Walking Dead was so anticipated due to the ensnaring excitement of Season 3, that many fans couldn't wait until premiere time. But after watching 6 episodes of the new season, I'm feeling a lot like this...

Yes, thank you Walking Dead writers, for figuratively spitting me in the face. This season is the slowest building, most boring, most repetitive in terms of storyline yet. It begins innocuously enough with a zombie flu that is spread all around the refugees of Woodbury through tainted water. Oh and Glenn also has it, but since we all know he isn't dropping dead and turning into a zombie anytime soon, it was just for suspense. Yeah, that was ultimately lost on me. Four episodes centered around the flu. It spread, killed people, they re-animated and a handful of the main cast exterminating them, while the other primary players mused about life and finding peace. Oh, and lots of boring conversations about farming, protecting each other, and staying strong. *vomits* Needless to say, I gave it a chance. I really love the characters and season 3 was so gripping that to see it descend into a mess such as this is really heart-breaking.

Watching The Walking Dead makes me feel how Glenn looks.

A Female Attorney Defends a Peeping Tom's Right to Look Up a Female's Skirt, or How Women Really Don't Get Feminism

A news story out of Andover, Massachusetts states that a man prosecuted for taking up-skirt photos of female passengers on the train believes that it is his first amendment right to be a slimy pervert. Now, I know what you may be thinking, "Criminals will say anything to get away with their crimes." But this is much worse than just an asshat trying to rationalize his sexual deviance, this is about the FEMALE LAWYER that is representing him, and is following through with this excuse in a court of law. 

The lawyer, Michelle Menken, states that "people cannot expect privacy" in public places, such as the train, and that the Massachusetts state 'Peeping Tom' law that they are using against her client only covers fully nude individuals, not clothed, or partially clothed individuals. She also stresses that in public places there is no expectation of privacy, such as what you would find in a department store dressing room, so the law does not apply. Lastly, she states that prosecuting people who take pictures of clothed people in public places would, "potentially punish artistic and journalistic activities protected by the first amendment." 

................. Uh.

Google's at it Again ... or How They Just Don't GET That I Don't Want a Google+ Account

If you would like to sign a petition that was created on Change.org to express your outrage at Google's new policies, click here, PLEASE! 

It begins slowly, little by little with messages popping up asking if you'd like all your existing Google account to share a name. This, just to point out quickly, is dumb because I may have used my birth name for my business email at Gmail, and the name Serialkillaz01010101 as my Youtube account. So no, Google, I do not want strangers to know my given name when I comment on Dr. Phil videos, nor do I want any business inquiries to see my name pop up on their dashboard as 'SerialKillaz4lyfesuuuuun' when I reply to a job posting on Monster.

I tried to ignore these pop ups for the most part until today, when it seems that they have integrated their "magnum opus", the complete change of commenting on Youtube.  I finally had to give in, for it would not let me post comments without choosing a name that would either carrying itself across all of my Google accounts, or separate one name for YouTube, one name for all the rest. The kicker in this is that whichever option you choose you are notified that a Google+ account is going to be opened for you, regardless of whether or not you want one (I think you know from my previous experience that I do not want one. Ever).

I Rub Lemons on My Armpits, or How Drinking Green Smoothies Made Me Paranoid of Everything in Everything

Yes, I use straight up lemons as deodorant now.  Why?  Because Big Pharma wants to kill us all, don't you see?  Everything is in tin cans or plastic jars, oh God, and the ALUMINUM! Won't someone please stop feeding the children POLYPROPYLENE!!

Yeah, this is the sound of my green goddess inner conscience now, screaming at me to drink filtered water out of glass mason jars. Washing my face with baking soda and drinking tablespoon after tablespoon of undiluted, unfiltered pure apple cider vinegar. Yes, go ahead, skip this post. I do not blame you. My green conscience is only quieted by the fact that I'm obsessed with concocting a strategy on how to defeat Ramsus and Miang now that Elly left with my only Ether Doubler.

I Love Pot, or Why I Am On The Fence About Being Open With My Love

So I used to smoke a lot of weed, and then I had to stop for a bunch of reasons. Mainly those reasons involved me not having a steady job and every employer drug testing for that shit, and lack of money. If I had my way, I'd smoke weed everyday, all day to be exact, but I would smoke as often and freely as I could.

I used to be a bit of a professional when it came to smoking the kind. I'd always find the best spots to smoke in privacy and secrecy. I'd know when to use a blunt, joint, pipe or bong depending on the people I would smoke with. More importantly, I'd know how to not look like a complete stoned mess while out in public, because people fucking with you while you're trying to enjoy your high is the worst. I admit to having feelings of paranoia, mostly when outdoors, but for the most part I would know where and when to light up to avoid trouble, (because listening to dumbasses gets you stopped by the cops and your clip taken away).

My Problems with YouTube 'Let's Players', or How I Think the Developers of This Channel Can Improve Certain Aspects of Gameplay ...

I admit it. I was sucked into YouTube. My brother pretty much got me using it to watch clips from TV shows he thought were funny. I won't bore you with a long explanation of why I started watching YouTube Let's Players, but it boils down to playing scary games and being unable to complete them due to being submersed in a pool of my own urine part-way through. I searched for the game that wrought my heart with terror, and came upon a whole community of people (mostly guys) who play various genres of video games on all different platforms. If I wanted to see someone much braver than myself play a scary game to completion, or watch a goofy fella dick around and talk to inanimate objects, or even be seduced by the silky smooth voice of a grown man-child playing something that borders on hentalia, the gaming world was at my doorstep.
