(BaMSoF) Jan. 2012 spam

2012-02-03T16:55:20+00:00

Things have become more confusing as my spam is now split across accounts.

The rubbish electricity supplier, EDF, was unable to use my proper account to handle its automatic billing feature and now have my silly account. So far they`ve successfully spammed that repeatedly with useless junk but have failed to send one single sensible service message to it - including the all-important request to read the meter.

Meanwhile, someone else (to whom I gave the silly account address for the purposes of helping them debug their new website) has regressed to spamming behaviour instead. Hopeless.

In the officially counted set, there were only 9 spam emails for January - and more than half (5) of those were down to HMV. They are really desperate for custom but don`t seem to have anything much I want and are merely succeeding in being annoying and putting me off having anything further to do with them. The other usual pests only managed to get 1 spam each through (or somehow curbed their usual tendencies to spam me).

(BaMSoF) advertising

2012-02-02T10:04:18+00:00

Among the reasons to stay right away from FaceBook (and other such websites) is that they only want you for any of your personal data [telegraph.co.uk] that they can sell on or use to spam you [guardian.co.uk]. It was obviously a bad idea right from the start (to sane internet users).

In contrast, a good website doesn`t require personal details and doesn`t spam you. There are vanishingly few of them.

(BaMSoF) too little too late

2012-02-01T10:29:54+00:00

Fred Goodwin and most (all?) of the others should never have been given those silly and unmerited awards in the first place for being the scum at the top. The list has always been too much of a self-serving, pandering one. He also should have lost the award sooner (when it was obvious even to the clueless majority that the bankers were not fit for purpose) and lots of other people should be stripped of theirs too (rather than being an excuse for why he shouldn`t have lost his). They were never the right recipients - unless one actively views such awards as a title to mark out the very worst humans in society [bbc.co.uk] - the legalised criminals.

(BaMSoF) fake qualifications

2012-01-31T10:26:12+00:00

... are not going to be permitted to pretend to be GCSEs any more [telegraph.co.uk]. The politicians [guardian.co.uk] were dishonest eejits even to start down that route because it was obvious that the incompetent schools and teachers [bbc.co.uk] would leap at the chance to achieve fake greatness [guardian.co.uk] rather than go to the trouble of achieving the real thing on behalf of their pupils.

(BaMSoF) a successor

2012-01-29T10:21:39+00:00

... to balloon animal guy or one of the others [freethoughtblogs.com]? It really shouldn`t have got through to publication, regardless. The normal meejah, of course, is plenty stupid enough to peddle nonsense to the public [freethoughtblogs.com]. It might almost be a motto or mission statement of theirs.

(BaMSoF) more papal bull

2012-01-28T09:19:40+00:00

The pope, like other conmen and instigators of retardation, is very afraid of freedom of information [freethoughtblogs.com]. Such people [freethoughtblogs.com] especially don`t like the only valid source of information, science, nor the saner members of the reality-based community - atheists.

(BaMSoF) the cats get it

2012-01-27T09:05:43+00:00

Religious people [freethoughtblogs.com] are evil. As are the political right-wingers [freethoughtblogs.com] (who, not coincidentally, also tend to be religious). And, unsurprisingly, they tend to congregate to inhabit particular areas [freethoughtblogs.com] - a sort of self-ghettoization.

What you always want to hope is that they are not doing it at your academic institution [freethoughtblogs.com] or in your country [freethoughtblogs.com] because there is never any shortage of stupid sheeple willing to accommodate or kow-tow to them, to tolerate their intolerance and to fail to disabuse them of their delusions.

Nowhere is automatically safe from the mental slum-building scum.

(BaMSoF) a scan too far

2012-01-26T10:22:16+00:00

I worked this one [telegraph.co.uk] out in advance and never bought into the idea at all. Only doctors (and the average patient) are stupid enough not to realise it. Even after the science, a lot of them will probably go ahead - being ignorant as well as stupid.

(BaMSoF) ACTA

SOPA and PIPA and ACTA [en.wikipedia.org], oh my.

Campaign links, eg: websites [stopacta.info], LJ blogs [ffutures.livejournal.com], LJ community [vidding.livejournal.com]

It`s all about the evil people at the top.

This [blog.mocality.co.ke] is quite some organised dishonesty in which Google are involved up to their IPs.

(BaMSoF) abusive excuses

2012-01-22T10:48:55+00:00

People are so very willing to make (ludicrously poor) excuses for bad behaviour [freethoughtblogs.com] when self-interest or the vice of loyalty is involved. Some of them are so proficient at this dishonesty that they can even pretend it counted as good behaviour really.

(BaMSoF) anti-education

2012-01-21T09:38:11+00:00

... is effectively being funded instead of education in Kentucky [freethoughtblogs.com]. The population will be spiralling downwards into even greater stupidity, ignorance and religiousness than at present. Which is probably what the dishonest and evil scum at the top want in their peasantry - to render them even more easily controllable.
