I was politely chastised for referring to people as stupid

 Ok, people are not stupid but they do some stupid assed shit!

 So I received this email from "Alignable" with all these great promises of business networking and horse shit.

 What do you do when you're picked to receive all the horse shit you can swallow? Go to customer reviews! (Unless you're like me and have absolutely no reviews to be found, I guess it depends on what you say you're selling, what you actually sell and who you sell to)

I have just upgraded my alignable account to premium and something happened and I can't login into my account anymore. I tried reseting it but the reset link never comes to my e-mail, I tried using their email sign in token and also didn't work. The only form of contact they have is through email and they take forever to answer. I think that login problems are really priority and should be solved right away, every day I can't log into my account it is a day that I can't grow my business network and if I can't grow my business network why am I paying them?

I have submitted over 15 times and still waiting for my account to be deactived. This service offers no way to link accounts in business so in order for me to be a employee of a business with a account I cannot keep my account that I have contacts on and have been using. The more you use their service the more things start to not ALIGN.

I had initially contacted the Help desk at Alignable.com to inform them that myself, and my Real Estate Agents were having an issue with their attempts to create an account with Alignable. When we were prompted to create an account, our accounts were automatically Auto-populated with a competitor's photo and information. Each of us had to go in to delete the photo and information upon signing up. I informed Alignable that there must have been a fraudulent account created that was linking our business and agents to our competitors. I was then able to screen shot the account that was fraudulent and show that the account was in existence. I proceeded to contact our competitor about deleting this fraudulent account. He then contacted Alignable's Help desk, and they responded with the following emai: Hi *******, I've deleted the profiles that use ***** ******** as their profile picture. It looks like they linked their accounts to this ******** page: ********************************...

This company automatically contacted us (via ***** ****) due to a referral from one of its members. Since we were not interested, we ignored the request to join the network and received numerous obnoxious emails reminding us to join their network. I wrote a reply email, pointing out that in Canada it is against the law to add people to an automatic mailing list and that I would like to be removed from theirs. I got a reply from a different individual (****** Flynn) stating that they could not prevent users from referring emails. I pointed out that I was not objecting to the referral, but rather the obnoxious automatic mailers being sent out. I am still receiving automated messages from Alignable nearly every day.

I'm in a very strange position

 It took years yet I've created many vortexes to bring money to my life. I donate to St. Jude's, send some to my adopted friend family in Nicaragua, "waste" money in the stocks and buy great food. I've attempted to assist past girlfriends with their dilemmas but that always created the "enabler" scenario.

 It is one of the greatest paradoxes that I can not help individuals because they "seem" hell-bent on Not helping themselves.

 Maybe one day, damn, another paradox.

I have quite a few blogs

 I have experienced what happens when CV's and information is passed along from person to person in our new tech based world.  I can't even tell you how many CV's hit the trash by the time I read the first few lines.
 I have invented various formats / all patents pending to deliver your information to a recruiter or hiring manager in a way that will keep his or her attention. Even with my formats, the contents and substance of your resume/CV cannot be adjusted, you're proficient at the level that you put into your study and work.

 As you think to create your own formats, getting a patent using Google Blogger will be the battle of your life, chuckles. However, it is not impossible to sidestep me.
 For those that wish to have a "clickable" linked CV to apply by any media device to any HR, contact me here.

*I have friends back home that dedicated their lives to cutting corners and getting things for free and that's pretty much why they are still back home looking for EBT cards and Section 8 housing.

This is not a conspiracy theory, I'm asking questions.

 Since there is no more tangible money on the planet except in the pockets of the Bildergergs as we exchange notes of debt, what is left for the top 300 to do?
Through various modes useless for discussion in this particular post, they have all the wealth. What would you do if you owned all the money that was being "loaned out to" countries?
 Wouldn't you want to reduce the population to reduce pollution and create a better world for your family? Wouldn't the general population be a nuisance except for those that supplied your needs such as food, energy and fresh water? Wouldn't you consider the diseases, mental diseases and barbaric thoughts and actions of this society's individuals a threat to your family's well being?

 The question becomes err apparent, "What would you do with us"?

There are things that you may never grasp

 There's no such thing as an absolute "up or down, left or right or east and west". These terms are no more than communication tools based in proximity.

 The big item ticket is that there is no "correct or incorrect". There are actions that take place every day that will turn your stomach, make you want to scream and shout yet these occurrences are not right or wrong.
 In order for societies to function humans have made up their own synthetic rules which work at times, fail at times and many that need "tune-ups" as our society diversifies in thought.

 I realize that some will argue that all their friends, their church, their state etc. are firm that there is "right and wrong".

 Here's a quick way to test the intelligence of anyone/any group you associate with >

 Is this glass half full or half empty?

 Take your time and listen to the answers and you may find that "all" answers have a percentage of the truth/right and wrong.

 A greater percentage of the truth would be that the glass is always full with a percentage of liquid and a percentage of oxygen "here on earth in some scenarios". Take the glass into space and it would be full of void yet this too is not an absolute.
 Yes, my assertion is not absolute, not right or wrong becaue man has yet to figure out all the possible combinations in our universe which could be universes.

 It may be in your best interest not to think outside the box but opt to think with no box at all.

Damn! I may be stuck up and a racist *Whoooly Update

 With the future of my puppy, "Nietzsche's" health still uncertain, me being practical me, I began looking for a replacement.
I'm thinking an African Boerboel, Neopolitan Mastiff, Dogo Argentino or a Presa Cane Corso.
 Hahaha, this isn't funny. So I'm out on my nightly walk with Nietzsche and happened across a pier mate and we were talking about the situation when he suggested a pit bull...why? Without any tone in my voice, I quietly said, "I don't do trailer trash or ghetto fabulous mutts".
 I wasn't apologetic then and I'm not apologetic now, I meant what I had said.
*I'll get some professional advice in the morning.

 *Note to self > It's cool to talk about religions, Trump, bombing innocent civilians "but" never ever post about faggots, fat chicks or those ugly assed pit bulls or you will have even more angry emails to have to delete.

All I can really remember is

..that I wanted some Liquid D&B, a little reggae and some jazz on a plate.

How you know you're hanging with a "feminine" male

 Dude asked me do you know what they say about you? Nope and don't give a f$#k, what others think about me is none of my business! 

I was tossing clothes into the trash and

 Where in the hell did this come from?

What am I studying

“Lao-Tzu said ‘the five colors make a man blind, the five tones make a man deaf,’ because if you can only see five colors, you’re blind, and if you can only hear five tones in music, you’re deaf. 

You see, if you force sound into five tones, you force color into five colors, you’re blind and deaf. The world of color is infinite, as is the world of sound. And it is only by stopping fixing conceptions on the world of color and the world of sound that you really begin to hear it and see it.”

*Now place this philosophy into Every aspect of your existence. The "very few" I associate with have already grasped this.

Bill Cosby Sentencing: Live Updates

 What can I say? "Later"...

• Bill Cosby is in court in Norristown, Pa., where he is to be sentenced for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home near Philadelphia 14 years ago.

• A psychologist representing Pennsylvania’s Sexual Offenders Assessment Board testified Monday that Mr. Cosby had a personality disorder evident in his lifetime of interest in having sex with nonconsenting women.

• He is likely to be incarcerated, though it is unclear for how long. An open question is whether he will be allowed to remain free during the expected appeal of his conviction.

• At least six women who have accused Mr. Cosby of similar acts of sexual abuse were in the courtroom to watch the sentencing, but Mr. Cosby’s wife, Camille, was not.

• Ms. Constand was also there and may speak in court, though it is unclear if other women who testified against Mr. Cosby will have the chance. Mr. Cosby is permitted to speak, but his legal team has not said whether he will.

How long a sentence can Mr. Cosby expect?

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Once one of the world’s best-known entertainers, Mr. Cosby, 81, may become one of the most famous Americans ever to enter a prison cell. At a time when the country is coming to terms with a culture of predatory sexual abuse by powerful men, his sentencing will also underscore what is the first major conviction of the #MeToo era.

Mr. Cosby faces a maximum 30-year prison term, 10 years for each of three counts of aggravated indecent assault he was convicted of.

The counts are likely to be merged, however, or be served concurrently, in which case Mr. Cosby could be facing, at most, 10 years. Counts can be merged when they stem from the same event. In this case, they originated with the encounter in January 2004 when, Ms. Constand said, Mr. Cosby sexually assaulted her after giving her pills that made her drift in and out of consciousness.

You can follow it here.

As far as my lending $$$

 I am now a "peer to peer" lender just like that.

I finally got a true answer

 I rode my bike to the shop this morning to discuss a few things with Steve and by my not wearing a helmet the topic on injury and death came up. 
 The conversation was struck between Steve's new office manager, a Jewish/Christian customer and myself.
It was basically about my not caring much about life or death. The lady and the office management person (Let's call her Jill) were trying to "tell" me why I should be more concerned about life & death. I'm thinking, "Not this bullshit this early in the morning" but went on to ask why I should feel differently.
 They both entered ideas of their kids and watching their grandkids grow up, their life ambitions, so forth and so on. 
I waited patiently until they finished before I asked, "I have no children or unfulfilled ambitions so why should I feel as you do"? (Once again I restrained myself from any comment while they stumbled through their indoctrinated mental bookshelves for a replay)
 All they could come up with was, "We don't know what happens when you die". Wait, you kept your legs crossed, didn't curse, prayed for your sins and all the rest of that horse shit and you're afraid to go to your reward"?

 I believe I can safely say that your life/path has been dictated by fear and I believe I can also safely guess that neither of you have a passport and have never even traveled the states alone.

 Is it now that you can see that my path is not your path and vice versa? With all due respect, you may wish to refrain from suggesting how people feel about life and death until you start at their origin with intent to end and their destination because all we've proven is that you don't have a clue of "my path".

 So... "Your belief" is your belief yet no one has a fact to throw upon the table. Every time you take a belief and stand on it as a fact (Facts are even suspect) you're making a complete ass of yourself.

 Lastly, how many of your life choices are directed by fear?

I had a great date this weekend

 I would compare it to many other dates with one very nice twist. The young lady was intelligent enough to ask a question and proved her advanced statement when hearing the answer to the question.

 The question: "How does someone handle you"?

 My answer: "Never attempt to handle me at all as I will not attempt to handle you. The goal is simply to coexist in peace".

Don't tell me I'm Blessed

 It seems that within certain communities and cliques, any fortunate occurrence is deemed, "Blessed", ipso facto this must mean that not so good days I'm unblessed. What a load of sh!^.
 Yes, people can be Blessed but I'm more inclined to believe "we create our Blessings" by engaging in constructive ideas every second that we breath.

I.E. Take this balloon and blow laziness, drunkenness, disrespectfulness and destructive thinking into it.

 Or you can blow creativity, constructive thought, goodwill, lofty ambition, no limits, drive, resiliency and, "I Am, I can & I Will" into this balloon.

 Whatever you blow into your ballon is your life right now because whatever you've blown in your ballon is your "only" air. You Will Breath What You've Blown Again, Repeatedly.

 You can keep that Blessed stuff.

There are some really dumb assed people

 I witness individuals that want freedom of speech, freedoms of choice, freedom of life, people want to do whatever it is that they want to do. 
 Sounds like good old baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet right? Any delinquent can vote or have a child, faggots can adopt children, people believe "Mac & Cheese" is really macaroni and cheese, people are having unprotected sex, I work with a 26 year old that has 9 kids, fat as fuck is the new normal, many can't cook for themselves or wash their ass, many think the Lord will save them when he's the one that delivered you here, simply complete morons.

 I fully trust it to be true that most fear a dictator because they would have to get their fat asses off the couch, stop looking at porn on their cellphone, quit getting high off their pharmaceutical drugs of choice, stop having more babies so their working neighbors can pay for their kid's education and lunches + lives and actually contribute or work.

 The next time the words, "People get what they deserve" crosses your mind, include yourself.

After careful assessment

 I'm going to start lending people money.

A common misconception

 Many think that if they paid off all their debt their credit score would go up. Nope, hahaha, no it doesn't.
I paid off all my debt a few years back and my credit sucks "unless" I were to purchase a big ticket item and go back into debt. Purchasing a home or a car would create revolving credit and up my score. So another word, go into debt to increase my credit score? What type of shit is that?

 I don't want another home, I'm quite happy with buying boats cash. I don't want a daily car, I'm happy with paying drivers and am selling the race truck.

 So what can I do to increase my credit score? I called the professionals at Lexington Law, chuckles.

 You'll never guess what the 10 minute conversation produced in suggestions. I was told to get credit cards and buy things I can afford and make sure to pay my bills on time each month. WTF?

 So buy crap that I can afford with a line of credit and then pay interest on that credit line to someday have a credit score to afford shit I don't want?

 There you have it, another hilarious moment in the life of a polymath.

I Don’t Care About The Things Others Do

Brian Brewington
Reader, Writer, Runner. Philadelphia, PA. Proud and regular contributor to: Thrive Global, The Startup, Hacker Noon, The Ascent and www.splicetoday.com

None of what I’m about to say is bragging. I’m not particularly proud of any of it. It doesn’t make me better than any of you, in fact much of it makes my life more difficult. More difficult now perhaps, however I suspect it’ll lead to a more rewarding life in the long run. That is the bet I’ve made anyhow.

I’m not motivated by money, nor have I ever really been. Obviously, I’m well aware it’s a necessity. Some days, painfully aware of it in fact.

I enjoy nice things but the reality is I adapted when I had less than nothing. I’ve always found a way to make the best of the worst situations and turn a literal nothing into a very tangible something.

I look at other’s relationships and think to myself “I couldn’t possibly endure that”. I’m not some grinch who hates kids, in fact I love kids. I find them hilariously fascinating, their excitement and curiosity for life never fails to bring a smile to my face. Doesn’t mean I want to raise one though.

Which probably disqualifies me from a long term relationship with many women in my age group. Again, I wish I cared. I wish I wanted it more.

Does that mean I never question my line of thinking? That I never ponder the life I could be living or the wonderful things and experiences in life I may be missing out on? Of course not. I have doubts every day. Those doubts just aren’t strong enough to pull me in the opposite direction.

Is some of it fear based? I’m certain some of it is. I just think more of it is based in a desire for different things and a lack of desire for much of the norm.

I fear mediocrity, the mundane and the average. I have no desire to shoot low. I believe a minimum wage job that doesn’t allow me to provide actual value to people, requires no actual skill and provides no potential for growth, with a wife and kid to come home to who I’m not doing enough for — would lead to me hanging myself in a broom closet at work or throwing myself in front of a bus. If not for personal happiness reasons, then to provide my loved ones with the life insurance money I knew they deserved, that I wasn’t otherwise providing.

My fear is to have a kid and not be able to give them the absolute best life I’m capable of providing them with. Short of being able to, I don’t want a kid.

When I hear someone detail their pursuit of money, all I hear is their journey of unhappiness. Either the unhappiness that comes from feeling like their not making enough of it or the misery that comes from the disappointment you’re hit with once you attain it and realize it truly doesn’t equal happiness.

If your only goal or end game is money, your destination is unhappiness — you just don’t know it yet.

So if it’s not all of the social norms and standards I’m after, then what is it I want? What is it I’m after and why do I get up everyday? Fair question.

It’s taken me an entire lifetime to even scratch the surface of beginning to figure out a genuine answer to that question. This is my answer, as it stands today. It could change tomorrow.

I want my time. I want to do work I love with said time. I don’t want a boss. I don’t want to be a boss. I don’t want a company. I don’t want clients.

I want to write. I want to write about the things that inspire and motivate me as well as what haunts me. About what gets me out of bed and what keeps me up at night. I want to take time perfecting my craft and then use it to custom build the life I DO want for myself. I want to be a vision of hope to others.

I don’t want anyone else in the world to be able to dictate what it is I do with my time. I want to have the resources to one day be in a position to help someone half my age whose in the position I’m in now. I’m not out to change the world, just to better a small slice of it for myself and others, on my terms.

And I believe I can achieve all of that by doing this everyday, call me crazy.

***It's good to know I'm not alone.

How to extend Wi-Fi range: Increase your speed and fix slow internet problems

Find and fix Wi-Fi problems, extend range and increase internet speed with our complete guide for your wireless network

How to configure a 5GHz Wi-Fi router

5GHz networks are similar to 2.4GHz networks to deal with, but there are a few more options. If you've got an 802.11n router that supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, you may find that it only supports one at a time, forcing you to make a choice. Most likely, you'll need to choose 2.4GHz network for compatibility and range, so you shouldn’t need the advice here. With 802.11ac routers and some 802.11n routers, you can run both networks simultaneously, so the 5GHz network has to be configured properly. We'll assume that you've logged on to your router already using the steps on the previous page.

STEP 1 - Check network name

Check the name of your 5GHz network and make sure it's different to the name for your 2.4GHz network – perhaps append _5GHZ to the other network's name. We've seen some routers that use the same name for both networks, but this means you've got no control over which frequency band your devices are connecting to. It's fine to leave the security settings the same for both routers.

STEP 3 - Set the operating mode

You can set the wireless mode of your router to only support certain standards. If all of your devices support the fastest speed of the router, such as 802.11ac, set the router to use this mode only (not all routers support this). If you've got older devices that can connect, set a mixed mode that supports the router's fastest standard. For example, an 802.11ac router should be set for a mixed mode that supports 802.11ac, 802.11n and 802.11a. You can usually step-down the router to 802.11n speeds only, which can be helpful if you don't have any 802.11ac devices and are having connection problems. Remember to go back to 802.11ac settings if you buy any devices that support this standard, though.

STEP 4 - Change your router's channel

You can now select a channel to use, using the information that you gathered earlier. You may find that your router has an auto mode, but pick a dedicated channel for the time being, as you can always change this later when everything's working properly.

Most 802.11ac routers won't let you disable channel bonding, as the routers are much smarter with how they use the available spectrum. If you've got an 802.11n router that supports 5GHz, you will have the option to disable channel bonding. This option may be a speed setting. For example, you can choose to reduce the speed of the router from 300Mbits/sec or 270Mbits/sec to 150Mbits/sec. However, as the 5GHz spectrum is less congested and doesn't have overlapping channels, you should leave channel bonding on. Only disable it if you're having reliability issues and changing the channel didn't work.

STEP 5 - Test your settings

You can now test out your new settings. Try moving around your home to find out if the range has improved. You may want to try running a broadband speedtest to see if things have improved there, too. If you're still suffering from problems, trying changing the wireless channel again and disable channel bonding if available. You can always change the settings back, re-enabling modes later. Don't forget, though, 5GHz networks have less range than 2.4GHz ones, so you won't get as good a coverage from these networks.
