I am so glad they are giving me more teaching work to do tomorrow. Snow days are fun at first, but the snowman company loses charms really fast after the first couple days. I am starting to understand why many really scary films have people being trapped in the snow as part of the plot.

Groundhog Day is February 2nd so Happy Groundhog Day to all! According to legend the groundhog runs from a shadow if there is going to be a long bad winter, and with the storms we just had here it is clear he will need Olympic grade running shoes for his shadow this year. Maybe a tiny racing motorcycle to escape the monster shadow.

Even more people have been blocked as AI that are not. One of the dangers of AI is that people will be banned and demonetized as AI falsely all over the net. Facebook has blocked me 4 times saying I am not me and am AI as of this week when I saw someone else being called not themselves.

Everyone keeps trying to get me to work in Spanish speaking jobs this week. I do not speak Spanish. Any person in my family speaking Spanish learned it from a book. My parents worked travel jobs in France and Germany when I was a kid. They were both U.S. citizens born in the USA, and I was born on US soil. My passport says I am a US citizen. I mentioned to a few people I spoke other languages as a kid at lunch one day, and I am from Texas. The other languages were German and French as my dad worked in Germany. It is a seriously prejudice and disturbing trend I see in Virginia that they think all Texas people are originally from Mexico. You put me in a class filled with kids from Mexico they may get killed with me not understanding them at all in an emergency.
This is why I am leaving Facebook: A conversation someone said to me on there. Ronaldo AquinoIsn’t there an app or two for that? I saw this old Chinese woman using it with a nurse. Ronaldo Aquino Andrea Menzies It is slow as a nightmare to whip that out in class. Also students use slang that is not programed into apps so that is not a real option for teachers at all. I tried it and students misbehave like garbage ever second a teacher tries to use Google translate. Thank you for being an example of why I am quitting Facebook. Everyone criticizes me and gives me NOTHING but STUPID answers to my every statement.

I did not make up Captain Obvious it was a book character before it was an advertisement character. I used the character as I joked in one of my previous posts that it was obvious that men should NOT be violent, killing, and abusive to wives, and was unpleasantly shocked at how many abusive Internet troll men were publicly loving the idea of hurting women. This is how women end up single and divorced like myself abusive men are very real. Prejudice against women is very much so alive and well on the Internet I am sad to say. You men only made it easier to know what people to put on user-block.

It is not the Holiday Season without the cutest picture ever of Gizmo. This inspires me to learn more keyboard, and music in general.

Every year the silly jokes from dystopian science fiction shows I liked as a kid seem more like normal reality. Black Friday advertisements on TV looked like something from a space show. I upgraded to steaming apps with no advertisements because I am starting to really hate how corporate America is passively hinting we can only be happy or pretty if we buy high fashion everything, medicate into oblivion, and pay huge cash to do it. They can not make money off of you if you have high self esteem, and so it is in their money-making self interest to make you think you are bad and need to buy things to fix it.

My phone is back on, but I have switched services and numbers. My old service gave me bad issues with replacement and technical support. My old number is still active for now yet I am switching over the 2 factor authentication on all my devices soon. If you have my old number you will need the new one soon. My e-mail remains the same so people can contact me there if they need to reach me.

I finally voted after verification of my address four places. One of the reasons I was ranting about people not believing my address yesterday was they were trying to keep me from voting this week. I was still doing address verification at the social security office today. I can’t believe it is a mistake in a wild political year that people wrongly mixing up my address was a mistake. Why did four government places have it wrong only at voting time? I have a big family in many areas, and I visit them. Nothing normal is happening in any government building these days. Hopefully balance will restore to political power someday soon.
Voted
