Its that time of looking for new car.
My current car (Audi A3 1.8T) is 8 years & 70k miles, & I am thinking of a new one.
I am shortlist a few models, but the big question is whether I want more "Go" (power) with my new car.
These are
BMW m135i x-drive (an overall good package, & high HP (320) not sure about the look though)
Merc GLA 250 ( I like the look, & it has decent hp)
Merc GLA AMG ( 350hp, but quite expensive)
Ford Focus RS ( a distance consideration. It has a lot of hp at 350hp, but poor interior)
Audi S3 ( decent all round, 300hp, but looks too much like my current last gen A3. Also a poor man RS3)

When did web designers decide expanding and collapsing ads were a good idea?
Oh you were reading this article? Guess what, a video ad will appear and push your text down. Oh you scrolled down? The video is done playing and will now shrink moving your text back up.
This is so dumb. Maybe it makes them feel like a slick coding jQuery wizard, but it is just dumb.

I thought about this before.
My deduction is, because people can't stop talking about it!!!! The ideology would have died, if people stop labeling anyone that are racist as Nazi, & all the Nazi referencing like grammar Nazi, so it will not be as cool, & less people will associated themselves as Nazi. They will continue to be racist & white power & all, but they will not have a collective group they can gather together. That or they came out with a new one.
Similar to why all the deluded Extremists join or swear to ISIS, when there are no shortage of Jihadist groups, like Muslim brotherhood, Hamas, Boka Haram, Al Qaeda, Taliban etc. Because ISIS is the $hit everyone keep talking about.
Some of you may observed already, that I am a certified genius, authenticated by the highest of academic authority, my mom, but I have 2 major issues that affect some learning ability, that is short attention span, & poor memory. An average man can remember 7 number, I can remember 5.
Hopefully I can improve on these 2 weakness.

Last summer, I saw a guy with a Swastika tattoo over his heart on Bondi beach, playing with his kids. (I assume they were his)
A few people stared at his tart, and he got a bit gruff. I found it weird, to associate this "Evil" identity, with a dude just hanging out with his kids.
Moral of the story. I hate beaches, I hate sand, I hate people who goto the beaches, and I hate having to put my wine in a thermos to goto the beach, I hate how glaring the sun is on a book, I hate how burny the sun gets, I hate sunscreen, I hate that waves are too loud, and why are 90% of restaurants opposite the beach overpriced s***!?
Maybe he is a Buddhist? The Nazi swastika originated from the Buddhism/Hinduism. He probbaly has a Nazi swastika though & thought it was cool.

Buddhist swastika
In Buddhism, the swastika (Sanskrit svastika, "all is well") is a cross with four arms of equal length, with the ends of each arm bent at a right angle. Sometimes dots are added between each arm.
The swastika is an ancient symbol found worldwide, but it is especially common in India. It can be seen in the art of the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Celts, Native Americans, and Persians as well Hindus, Jains and Buddhists.
The swastika's Indian name comes the Sanskrit word svasti, meaning good fortune, luck and well being.
In Hinduism, the right-hand (clockwise) swastika is a symbol of the sun and the god Vishnu, while the left-hand (counterclockwise) swastika represents Kali and magic. The Buddhist swastika is almost always clockwise, while the swastika adopted by the Nazis (many of whom had occult interests) is counterclockwise.
In Buddhism, the swastika signifies auspiciousness and good fortune as well as the Buddha's footprints and the Buddha's heart. The swastika is said to contain the whole mind of the Buddha and can often be found imprinted on the chest, feet or palms of Buddha images. It is also the first of the 65 auspicious symbols on the footprint of the Buddha. The swastika has also often been used to mark the beginning of Buddhist texts. In China and Japan, the Buddhist swastika was seen as a symbol of plurality, eternity, abundance, prosperity and long life.
The swastika is used as an auspicious mark on Buddhist temples and is especially common in Korea. It can often be seen on the decorative borders around paintings, altar cloths and banners. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is also used as a clothing decoration.

I do not actually like to argue on the internet, but I have an allergy, that is I have an allergy that to call out BS when I see one on the internet, & there are full of them.
What bother me how is how effective these BS are. How our mind are so easily influence that we do not even know. That motivated me to try to consolidate all these arguments & make a guide people to look out, & expose them, in the name no of winning argument, but force people to be honest.
I have no academic credential regarding this topic, but who cares.
It will be a combination of known information, like False equivalence, No true Scotsman fallacy. Painting a broad brush, but maybe with personal experience & examples, as well as the topic of particular interest indoctrination. A scarily effective way to control mind of people. Its effective as people under indoctrination do not know they are being indoctrinated.
The main difficulty for me is, its hard to give good examples on these argument without offending people, particularly religious people, because
a) Religions master the art of indoctrination like no other, & has been doing it since human history. There is a reason why many religions demanded kids to started religious acts young. Its easier to indoctrinated people when they are younger.
b) Its one of the main topic (& guns) where people cannot think objectively. Because accepting you are wrong, often means your belief collapse. That's why there is an inherited to brush away any logical criticism of their religion, which able to accept even very poor positive argument becuase you already wanted to believed them.
c) Because religions are BS (at various levels) , therefore religious apologists spend a huge among of time in Mental gymnastics & master art of using terrible arguments & statement to trick the minds of people.
How many times have you heard "You think we came from apes? Haha" "Everything has a creator" "Proof to me God do not exist"

I had for a long time having issue with my workplace monitor. Its not wide enough, & I often had to either leaned forward, or zoom/extend the documents to see clearly.
So a week ago, I finally found a brillance solution. You will be mind blown at the genius of this action.
*wait for it*
I moved the monitor forward!!!

I went to school with a kid who had inverted nipples, and he got picked on a bunch, so I've always been self conscious of my nips.
But I can proudly say, I am now 100% proud of the shape and size of my nipples. They're small, and are apparently "not worth piercing" according to one tattoo-ist. But they're mine.
The shade of pink though... I feel like they're TOO pink. Like, if you cut the pig from Babe in half, that's the shade of pink.

After your post, I check my nipples, I think its magenta pink, but it could be the indoor lights.
Its strange after ll these years, I never truly consider the original color of my nipples. Thanks for the heads up. Now I can enter the correct nipples color on the application forms.

Respect your nips mate.
Men, let us stand together in #nippride!
*and women, trans, intersexed, and people who don't conform to a species. Sorry for being an excluding ignoramus.
I made a assessment of myself & I think worry about things I have no control & arguing with people on internet is not making my life better, & affect both my work & private life.
Also, that's not the happy go lucky guy that I am suppose to be. I much prefer making cheeks jokes & post funny pictures/videos for some laughs.
So I decided to instead focus on my own stuff, like the game project I have been doing. Its far more enjoyable than argue with people on the internet.
Every time I think of argue with someone on internet, I will think I can make one of these instead.
(sorry for shamefully promoting my own work, but I am quite proud of this)
to fill up my little game world.

I am not angry. I am happy now. I got a lot of job done, since I reduce my internet time.
I manage to almost finish the study room for my game
