Farsite New items and Sectors.

Today Farsite released another update; this time making some essential items available for further game development.  Radar is the most crucial because one cannot mine without it.  Now it's available for cheap.  Since I cannot afford to buy a sector on a planet I will try to find some work and make some money.

Farsite is Outta Sight!

 Just started an new game, Farsite.  It's a persistant virtual multiplayer universe.  This is by far the the best structured "colonize the universe" game to come along thus far.

At this point I know little about it but will make posts periodically to update my progress.  I am excited to get into this game.  Seems there is also a crypto currency factor I have yet to explore.

There are in addition to the games  there are websites of communities you can join all over social media.  Here's a link to the games site.  There is nothing to download and install, the game is all online.

Cut Flowers from Walmart Radioactive

I was at Walmart a while back and had my radiation detector with me. I discovered all the cut flowers they sell were mildly radioactive. Nothing too dangerous but twice the background reading. That means to me that the flowers are being grown using some sort of fertilizer that is contaminated or being grown on contaminated land because they are not for human consumption..
This also mean the radiation may not be uniform and some flower bunches may be dangerous.
Just a heads up, I would advise against buying Walmart cut flowers or at least check them first if possible.

Amazon Lies Again.

Just got off the phone with Amazon.   They lied to me and insulted my intelligence by tell such an absurd, blatant lie.  This is not the first time I've caught Amazon outright lying to vendors and customers.

I first discovered Amazon was a lying, corrupt website was in 2013.   Amazon had just gone through the books a deleted thousands of book reviews with no explanation whatsoever.
Authors contacted them asking what happened to their reviews.  Amazon said they could only discuss it with the reviewers.  Reviewers asked what happened to their reviews and were told they would only discuss it with the authors.
Amazon flat out lied to everyone and never explained their actions.  So I expect not less from them at any time, sometimes they're great sometimes they are insulting liars.  Here's their latest lie.

I bought a copy of Fallout 4 from Amazon and downloaded it through the steam website.  I wasn't crazy about having to log on to some website to play my stand alone game in the first place.  Well nearly a years ago Steam pulled some extra security crap.  Although I have the correct login and password, they say they will also require a security code to login that they will send to my email.  The code never shows up in my email, preventing me from logging in so I can play my game on my computer.

I try to contact Steam, apparently the only way to do it is to log on to their website.  There is no email address, no phone number.  No way to contact them unless you login to the website.  Catch-22.

I contact Bethesda, the game manufacture, and after explaining the problem they just keep parroting contact steam.

As last resort I go to where I bought the game, Amazon, and they tell me they can't contact Steam about the problem.  Now tell me, how many vendors and third party sellers on Amazon do you think Amazon is unable to contact in any way?  Zero, that's how many.  They told a blatant, absurd, intelligence-insulting lie.

Facebook Goes Down.

Don't know how long it's gonna last but facebook went down around 6:30 pem CST 10/09/2017.

Why Religion Harms Children

I was attacked in a post on Facebook recently for saying that I thought it was child abuse to teach religion to young children but I never did explain why I think that. Here's why.

It damages their minds and creates cognitive dissonance. It distorts their world view. They come to believe that faith is fact and science is opinion. That is a very distorted view of reality and a form of mental illness.

Children should be given fact based teaching not faith based teaching. When they get older and have some sense them maybe introduce them to religion. But when I see videos of toddlers in church mimicking the hand raised in praise and swaying with eyes closed before they can even reason, I find it disgusting and am outraged,

No matter how you cut it brainwashing toddlers with religious dogma should be criminal and faith based schools outlawed.

It is because of such practices we have Muslim and redneck mass murderer terrorists, They were brainwashed as children and can not reason or think properly, logic eludes them.

That's why teaching religion to small children is child abuse, it turns them into mentally ill adults who end up either dangerous fanatics or hypocrites.

Facebook's Attack on the First Amendment and Their Political Agenda.

I have proof Facebook is targeting certain people and pushing a political agenda with their censorship. I posted a photo of Dick Chaney as a dickhead and was promptly given a 30 day block within seconds of reposting an image I originally got from Facebook and had been shown on Facebook hundreds of times. The excuse was it is sexually explicit, a lie. 

This is the second frivolous 30 day block from posting in 2 months. As an artist, writer and publisher who does business on Facebook this has a devastating effect on my business. 

Yet if I report Asian porn, a naked woman sitting on a guy with his penis clearly in her vagina, I am told by Facebook it does not violate the community standards. Clearly there is specific material and people being targeted by Facebook for censorship that is not based on the posting guidelines. 

Their option to report a block as being in error is a joke and they NEVER respond to a wrong block and never remove them or respond in any way. There is no way to actually contact FB to challenge a wrongful block and no-one ever responds in any way to their forms.

I also had an incident yesterday where I was prevented from going to a website that had the letter Michael Moore wrote to the electoral college. Twice Facebook refused to allow me to click through claiming the site was malicious. The third time I tried the facebook post with the link disappeared. Rather than censoring false news Facebooks is censoring out political satire and real news that doesn't meet their political agenda.

This leads me to believe two things, First facebook has a political agenda and is targeting people critical of Republicans and their agenda, and second they are using a double standard by which to judge content. Yet they would presume to be the safeguard of truth.  This is the vilest form of censorship and a direct attack on the first amendment. Once they destroy the first amendment the 2nd is right behind.

UPDATE:

Here's yet another example of facebook's selective censorship.  This is not in violation of community guidelines yet if I posted the very same thing I would get yet another 30 day ban. Part of the problem is that the people who check these things are in some room in India or Pakistan and don't have English as a first language and the treatment of any given report is left to the discretion of whoever sees a report at any given time.  This abusive hater calling people cunt's and telling them to drink bleach seems to be sanctioned behavior.

Clearly Facebook and Twitter sanction the abusive haters for one reason, the preponderance of numbers.  

The mentally ill with OCD are their greatest source of traffic and they greatly enhance the numbers they can show stockholders.  

Facebook in particular is desperate to hide the fact that of the over the 1 billion member accounts they claim the vast majority are dead or abandoned accounts.  The numbers would look far different if it weren't for the rabid haters who obsessively make dozens if not hundreds of posts a day.

So basically facebook allows the sociopaths to abuse you so they can make money.
