What the fuck, Apple?

 “The software is functioning as intended,” said Amber.
“Wait,” I asked, “so it’s supposed to delete my personal files from my internal hard drive without asking my permission?”
“Yes,” she replied.

What.  The.  Fuck?!?!?

No, seriously, who in the everloving blue fuck thought that this would be a good idea?

Scanning my hard drive and indexing all my media files...fine... that's actually a bit convenient.  But to decide arbitrarily to remove things and force me to accept them from a remote server? FUCK that noise.  What if you're on a limited data plan with your ISP like so many are?

There's a *reason* we have hard drives, Apple.  It's not to merely install and run your bloated malware that masquerades as a media player/library/store/iPhone diddler program.

Go fuck yourselves, Apple.

 

3 teens kill selves running from the cops in a stolen car. Black Lives Matter trolls blame the cops.

Seriously?

These people expected the cops to jump in a friggin' pond in FLORIDA at about 4am and somehow manage to open the car these teens were in, and rescue them...before they drowned?

This is the vehicle & the pond this happened at.

Notice how the pond looks kind of like grass until you look closely at it? That's in broad daylight.  Try looking at it at 4am.  Then there's the vegetation that's all over the car, so anyone who DID manage to get into the water, find the car (in some seriously murky waters,) and find footing would also risk getting tangled up in that shit.  Any diver will tell you getting tangled up is tantamount to a death sentence, unless they have a dive knife & are able to free themselves.

Sorry, haters,  The cops aren't to blame for this one.

Some words from the Sheriff of Pinellas County to close this out.

VERY Long time no see.

Well, things have definitely been interesting.

Dad died back in March of 2013.  Mom's still around, at present.

I'm still surviving, as per usual.

More to come, a bit later.
