Rules lawyer

On the one hand, that term is pretty silly. Lawyers should know the rules and the law, shouldn't they? Anyways, this is regarding that idiotic headline that says that everyone in Malaysia should be religious/and or believe in God.

Lawyers have come out and said that no, that particular minister whose name I cannot be bothered to remember is talking out of his ass. Freedom of religion includes the freedom not to be religious according to them and that this particular deputy minister should leave the rules interpreting to them.

So yeah, good news to everyone who wants to believe in no gods (including Buddhism, because let's face it, Buddhism has no deity in their teachings). For my part, I'll stick to having to decide between the Church of Gadget Hackwrench and the Church of Mizuki Nana. Mmmmm...

Oh, so we must believe in God huh?

Since apparently people want to argue that we must be religious in Malaysia, here's a couple of religions for people who have trouble with this ruling.

1) Cullenism. While sadly, it is not the worship of Optimus Prime and His almight prophets Ramrod and Voltron, it does have some traction amongst female worshippers. Vampires are real, Edward Cullen is the greatest of all vampires and Stephanie Meyer is their one true Prophet.

2) Church of Gadget Hackwrench. Very popular in Russia apparently. Bow and worship the great goddess Gadget, She who invented gadgets to help her Prophets Chip and Dale! Also, She is actually pretty cute too so that's a plus.

3) Otakukin. You know that you're an outsider and you know the reason for that? That's because you're a reincarnation of Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. Or maybe you're a reincarnation of Son Goku? Which Son Goku? The one from Dragonball Z or the one from Saiyuki Reloaded? Who knows and there's a whole lot of anime out there too!

4) Church of Latter-day Dude
These people will go to bowling alleys for their worship but is otherwise like Chinese Taoism before it went all weird with magic tricks and body fluids. Just sit back and relax, dude.

5) Pastafarianism
The only dogma that Pastafarianism has is there is no dogma. That is the coolest thing ever, bro.

6) Jediism
"Use the Force, Luke"

"Shut up, Ben, you backseat driver, you."

7) Church of Mizuki Nana
The Lady has performed destroyed a rocket shuttle when someone declared that they wanted to watch that shuttle launch instead of listening to Her radio show, proving to us her divinity. Nana wills it, after all.

Step up for the new Uwe Boll!

Or a new form of Taiwanese parliament at the very least. By Uwe Boll, I don't mean shitty director. I mean shitty person who challenges people to a fist fight in order to silence their critics.

While Boll does this in a shitty way (him being an amateur boxer versus critics who are not and chickening out when he was challenged by a critic who is a kickboxer. On that side note, all hail Seanbaby), I'm still making this comparison to this particular politician who did challenge another politician to a fist fight.

Dude, seriously, you're a man in your what? Fifties? Sixties? Your penis is not bothering to stand up at this point. Cool down with the temper and stop aching for a fight at the drop of a pin. You're not looking very dignified whoever the fuck you are is what I'm trying to say.

Don't rush into a fight with another person just because they don't agree with you and because this is election period. At this rate, we can add 'you must be this childish in order to become a politician.'

Update on loot boxes

By now I think everyone knows about this but Belgium has officially declared loot boxes is gambling and wants the practice to be banned in Europe. That is good to hear but there's also a decent piece of news coming out from the US of A for once.

So congratulations EA. For once, you have made the world a better place. Just not a better place for you and other publishers like you who dares to pull off bullshit like this. A good win for parents, children, gambling addicts and gamers in general but we still need to pay attention to loot boxes and what happens with regards to this.

Edit November 23: Sadly, the announcement made by the Belgium is not an official one. It is merely the statement that the commission is making regarding loot boxes and that is their view, not the official findings. Still a good thing because they are investigating the whole deal. Just not as good. 

Bung Mohktar is a disgusting person

Disparaging women for their appearance, saying that they leak every month and that they are lousy drivers? Even typing down what he said makes my skin crawl and I wanted to go and puke when I read those words.

Dude, you're just a disgusting person. While I am all for women wearing tudungs as part of their religious duties (and on a voluntary basis because religion is always a voluntary decision), what you said about women and their appearance is just offensive on so many different levels.

Bung Mokhtar, you are a hideous person on the inside and that is why people do not want to fuck you in the first place.

By the way, Bung Mokhtar won't be dropped for the election. It's a proven thing globally that this kind of sexist assholes will always be elected to office. What we should do is remember that he is a sexist prick and remind the world about it constantly. 

Ajiit Pai, fuck you

As always, supervillain Ajiit Pai is still trying to do his evil scheme of reversing Obama's rule of classifying the Internet as a utility service, making it possible for his evil overlords, the ISPs to charge for the Internet based on their usage.

This will an act that will screw over how the internet is being used all over the world, sadly enough and while this fucking asshole deserves to be called out on his insipid kowtowing to his overlords, that's not the important part.

Right now, I can only wait and watch because I'm not American (despite what people think. Jesus fucking Christ, there's a lot of people out there who seems to think that I'm American) and I cannot really rally people because of my lack of social grace and skills. So all I can do is just record my thoughts and my anger and utter a big fat fuck you to Ajiit Pai on a daily basis because he deserves that shit.

More talk about gambling and loot boxes

For all the talk that the Malaysian government has regarding protecting their citizen's morality, I have not really noticed anything about loot boxes and how it might be gambling. Nothing that a Google search can uncover at the very least.

Sure, they'll censor anything that has to do with religion (see that god fighting game whose name I cannot really remember off the top of my head and honestly does not look that good to me, the original Daredevil movie, Hellboy's renaming to Super Sapiens), but with regards to loot crates and the fact that people are concerned that it might be gambling, zippo.

I'm pretty sure that the government does not give a flying fuck about this since like most every other conservative Asian, they probably consider gaming as a child's past-time so they don't bother paying attention to it.

This isn't anything really. Just a curious examination into how quiet the scene is over here with regards to the whole loot box scandal going on right now. Nobody's raising a fuss over anything about addictive personalities and how gambling ruin lives.

It's just...weird.

Let's talk about gambling

Time for some gamer news instead. EA and in a more limited fashion, Blizzard, is now being investigated by the Dutch and Belgian government on whether loot boxes count as gambling.

Loot boxes, for the uninitiated, are packages which contains items that you can be used in game but the catch is, you don't know what the items are going to be. They can be that extremely rare goods that you can use to be OP, that new cool skin that you've seen other people use or it can just be shite.

Some people (especially game publishers and certain developers) have argued that this does not count as gambling since you are definitely getting something of value from the loot boxes. It might not be what you want but you are still getting something of value.

On the other hand, loot boxes contain a random element within them and the pleasure/desperation that you get from opening them can lead you to spending more money on them. And that is the genuine worry that most people have in regards to loot boxes: that they are addictive and will cause you to spend more money than is necessary.

Quick disclosure here. I play Paladins and I also play Symphogear, both of which I enjoy and adore (Paladins more than Symphogear because the former is actually a game and the latter is just auto-pilot but with the ladies from Symphogear). But even then, I wouldn't hesitate to call the loot boxes in these games gambling because of the random nature of the drops and how you are given the option to spend money to get the shit that you want (Symphogear doesn't technically have loot boxes but you pay 20 to 200 song stones in order to flick a pendant which gives you 1 or 11 new cards at random).

So yeah, I'm definitely on the side of loot boxes = gambling because of the random nature of these puppies. But here's the thing. I don't really mind them too much as long as they are used properly. Here's my proposal on how to use loot boxes. Use only in-game currency to purchase them. No premium currency bullshit. If you want a guaranteed rare item, set up a shop to buy them directly without hassle. Sure, it can be at a higher price than normal but I don't think people will complain too much.

Right?

Yet another mass shooting

You know, I was right that there was going to be another mass shooting in the States. I just didn't expect it to take place less than two weeks after the first one.

Five people dead, including the shooter's wife and multiple injured. The only consolation is that there are no children killed despite the shooting taking place near an elementary school but that's small consolation compared to the fact that five innocent people were killed in the shooting. And while some people might say, a good guy with a gun could have stopped him, wouldn't it have been easier if the bad guy had no guns to begin with in the first place?

So yeah. Just wait for another mass shooting to take place I guess because they're still going to argue about gun control, whether it's a mental health issue or not and then not doing anything about either issues because Americans just don't want people to stop dying.

PS Donald Trump tweeted out to the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas about their own mass shooting despite the fact that this new one takes place in Rancho Tehama, California. While sadly pathetic and amusing, I think it's safe to say that Trump has no idea which mass shooting just took place because there's too many of them to keep track of and you really need to do something about that. His tiny brain cannot handle the number of mass shootings that take place in America.

PPS After I wrote this, it came to light that the shooter built his own illegal guns and this of course means that gun nuts are going, "If more people have more guns, they could have stopped this guy." Consider this though: One of the victims who was shot by this guy could not shoot him because she was protecting her child from being shot. She did pull out a gun but the asshole drove away before she could shoot at him.

Two, more guns do not mean that mass shootings are going to stop. It just means that there are more guns circulating around and that makes it easier for people to get their hands on guns. If anything, it will mean more mass shootings simply because there are more guns on the road. 

Oh O'Reilly

What's this? You're suing a man who posted a Facebook post detailing your sexual harassment of a woman? What are you? Digital Homicide? Suing someone who's posting evidence against you for doing a harmful thing against a woman? The nerve of them trying to ruining your reputation which at the time has already been ruined?

I mean, go ahead, you piece of shit. You're not going to do yourself any favor nor are you going to get people to sympathize with you since we already know the kind of person that you are, which is a filthy piece of shit.

In fact, let's face it. The only reason why you're doing it is because you want to stop people from criticizing you. Just like Digital Homicide during their 10 to 15 million dollar lawsuit against one journalist and 18 million dollar lawsuit 100 Steam users. You don't want people to spread the truth about you, which is too late by the way since your reputation is already horribly smeared in shit.

So, in other words, fuck you, Bill O'Reilly because you're a person who is soulless, horrible person who should be scrubbed from human memory.

Nigel Farage asks why now

In the wake of Roy Moore's allegations of sexual misconduct (aka the dude molested teenagers when he was a 32 year old, the creepy fucker), Nigel Farage asks why now? Why would women come out and make these allegations now?

Is there something sinister going on here? I would argue that all this is taking place because of Hollywood. Or more precisely, the growing number of men who are being accused of sexual misconduct over there. And in some ways, even because Bill Cosby and Bill O'Reilly.

Since these cases are getting spotlighted in the media, it is extremely likely that these women were emboldened to take the necessary steps to accuse their harasser and molester because of this powerful show of solidarity. No more do they have to suffer in silence. No more do they have to be ridiculed by the public for daring to impeach a man's dignity.

And this is not some sort of conspiracy theory where the women are doing this because the filthy liberals are losing to the conservatives and so they need to throw one back against the conservative. This is more akin to "Hey, those people had a chance in seeing justice happen to their assaulters. Maybe I can get some justice for myself and others who shared my experience too."

So yeah, that's probably why they're doing this. Because with all of these sexual misconduct being brought to light, we need to know about the disgusting behavior of these men and how we should not tolerate these behavior any more. And we really, really should not tolerate the half-hearted excuses others give to defend the behavior of such people ever. Really? The Bible is all for pedophilia? Fuck you.

The old 'sexy fashion means rape me' argument

I remember back in the 90's, one guy wrote to a local newspaper, saying that women should dress conservatively in order to avoid being raped. This was immediately followed by everyone bashing the shit out of that guy, saying that he obviously know nothing about how rape works (it's a show of power, it happens between people who know each other, etc).

In other words, it's always the victim's fault for inviting rape. It's never the rapist's fault because the poor man was seduced into raping the woman and he has no control over himself. This argument is of course, bullshit and that's why it was rejected then and why it's rejected even today.

So of course, some asshole from Egypt brought up this argument again, that it is a man's patriotic duty to rape a woman in ripped jeans because the sight is too sexy for them. Seriously? You're bringing up this argument in the least respectful way possible and while being completely ignorant about the crime in the first place.

Stop advocating for a horrible crime, al-Wahsh. A woman's choice of clothes has nothing to do with why she is getting raped and saying that it does shows that you have no self-control in the first place which is why you are having trouble with women's clothes in the first place. You sad, disgusting, washed up (hehe) piece of shit.

Mary and Joseph

Roy Moore has been accused of having sexual relations with a 14 year old girl when he was 32 years old. Now of course, this is a disgusting act if true and the man should properly punished for the act (I recommend physical castration and forcing him to eat his dick but that's too civilised for a man like him) but I'm not here about that.

I'm here about his idiot friend, Jim Ziegler who went out and said that this is okay. This act of a adult having sex with a minor is okay because in the Bible, Joseph was married to Mary when she was a teenager and he was an adult and they became Jesus' parents.

It's pretty much at this point that I feel like I should fly over to Alabama and force the idiot to read his Bible once more. One, you just implied that Joseph had sex with Mary and is Jesus' father. That's not how it goes in the Bible, where it was Mary who was divinely impregnated by God.

Two, stop using religion to condone sex with a minor, you fucking piece of shit. That is not acceptable in any way however you want to spin it. An adult should not have sex with a minor period and don't bring up nonsense like some teenagers are more mature than their age. That is a bullshit argument meant to shift the blame from sexual predators onto their victims.

Three, yes there is something immoral and illegal here. The age of consent in Alabama is and was in 1979, 16. The girl was 14 years old, nowhere near the age of consent. Furthermore, 'anyone at least 19-years-old would commit sexual abuse in the second degree by touching sexual or intimate body parts of a victim 12 to 16 years old. It is also illegal to bring a minor less than 16 into a home for the sake of trying to fondling them or having sex.'

So, please, Jim Ziegler, you piece of shit, stop defending your friend. You're making yourself look like shit in the process and while some people will defend ephebophilia thanks to its weird grey area, in this case, it's a 32 year old man having sex with a 14 year old girl. There is clearly something wrong, immoral and illegal here and Joseph did not have sex with Mary, at least not until after Jesus was born (which is its own weird thing in itself but I digress).

PS To anyone who tries to use the whole a 14 year old can be more mature than a 32 year old adult, fuck you. That's a bullshit excuse for people who try to argue that age of consent is just nothing more than a number and that youngsters can be more mature than their age. We should not be allowing adults to have their way with our youngsters in any way and age of consent is one way of protecting our young ones from sexual predators.

Trump is still a pussy and a bitch

Remember how Trump said he would make Xi Jinping eat McDonalds if the Chinese premier visited America? Remember how Xi got a lavish feast at Mar-a-lago instead? Almost like Trump is forced to swallow his own words and suck on Xi's cock?

Well now, Trump is doing something similar once more. Where in America, Trump used to call out on China taking over American trade and now in China, he's saying that he doesn't blame China for the trade inbalance.

Oh, Trump. You fucking coward. If only everyone else in the world knew how easy it is to make you their bitch. I guess that's why Putin is still fucking you in the ass right now, both literally and figuratively.

And just for the record and because I want to say it, fuck China too because fuck China. You will never be able to convince me that China is a great country and you never will. 

Who the hell is Sia?

So I read on the news that Sia released nude pics of herself on the internet and I'm wondering who the hell is she? Yeah, yeah I'm getting old, bla bla bla but I do like the take on the entire thing.

Apparently, some fucking scumbag took nude photos of her and sent them to her, threatening her with blackmail and wants money from her to prevent their leak. So...she leaked her photos to the Internet via Tweeter instead.

Sia, whoever you are, good for you and fuck those assholes who took those pics of you. They are shitstains on humanity's cloth for attempting to do something as low and as classless as this and you deserve all the respect and privacy that you can get after this.

But seriously though, who the hell are you?

An example of good Muslims and bad Muslims in a single related post

Of course there's going to be one. Here's the http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/penang-surau-shelters-non-muslims-to-save-lives#kc1EZQdueQMviIfy.97. Unfortunately the second post has now been deleted but it's a post by pre-eminent asswipe, Zamihan Mat Zin and I forgot to screencap it.

For the first post, good on Sapno Tukijo for opening the surau up for people who were caught in the flood to take shelter. We need more people like him in this world where extremism is becoming the norm and where religion is slowly being shunted away because of such behavior. Religious people are capable of being normal and good people too you know.

And for the second post, what else can I say but fuck you, Zamihan Mat Zin. If you're so concerned about purity, get the fuck out of this country and live in your own country. Establish your own rule there and run things like that on your own.

But you won't because you want to spread your rule over here. You want people to be like you and quite honestly, fuck you and your racist way of thinking.

Now, on to what I really want to say

Yes, Trump. This is a guns issue. Stop going around parroting the other Republicans and the NRA and stop blaming this on mental health issues. Not that you're doing anything about it, since you just cut the health care budget.

This is a normal thing in America already. 378 mass shootings this year alone at this point of writing with at least 530 dead. And look, I know you don't care about people. You don't care about anyone, I get it. You're a sociopath, we already know that.

But here's the thing. You want to know something that everyone in the world is pointing at the US of A and laughing at you about? It's the fact that you're the only developed nation in the world who will complain that there is nothing that you can do to stop people from killing each other with guns. Thus you will spend the rest of your existence mourning the fact that you cannot stop the next mass shooter.

Dear god, this is pathetic. America did not become great again. It just became more and more pathetic in the eyes of the world, with this latest string of apathy towards their own people being killed by guns. There'll be another high profile mass shooting coming up soon, probably next month and you'll be wringing your hands again, saying there's nothing we can do about it again and again.

America, the land of the pathetic and weak-minded. The land of people who will not do the thing necessary to keep themselves safe from being killed by guns. America, I fucking pity you.

Condolences to the people of Sutherland Springs

At the time of this posting, there are at least 26 killed in yet another mass shooting in the US of A, this time in the land of firearms itself, Texas.

I have my own thoughts on it, believe me but I will keep my mouth shut, at least for today and just say, God keep you strong in this time of sadness and mourning and know that your friends and family are in a better place right now.

Rick Perry is a fucking moron

Really? Really? You actually went out to say that fossil fuels will help prevent sexual assault? That fossil fuel powers electricity, which in turns powers light bulbs and shines righteousness onto the act of sexual assault.

Oh. My. God. That is one of the stupidest pieces of shit I've ever heard of in my life and your boss is Donald Trump, king of stupid. The guy who said on TV that if he could, he would date his own daughter.

No. Just fucking no. Sexual assault has nothing to do with lighting conditions. There are plenty of cases where sexual assault happens in broad daylight and sunlight trumps (hehe) electrical lights anytime of the day (double hehe). Shine a light all you want, it doesn't make a difference on sexual assaults.

And Rick Perry, if you're suggesting that this is a case of butterface which I can actually put into your mouth because you're a stupid asshole, then I'm calling you a fucking asshole.

Peace reigns

For 11 minutes at least when a Twitter employee on their last day of work (don't know if it's a man or a woman. #feminism) deactivated Trump's twitter account. There was silence and there was peace and God saw that it was good and blessed those 11 minutes as the 11 minutes during which Trump shut the fuck up.

And then the Twitter account was reactivated and everything went to hell again. Fuck, that was too short.
