Bad Arguments: Magical Thinking
Today I’m going to talk about a bad argument that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with god claims, Magical Thinking. This type of faulty belief is the basis of all sorts of things from astrology, to ghost whisperers, and does, of course, include religion.

President Trump: How Did This Happen?
As of 11:38 pm, PST, Donald Trump has won the 2016 Presidential Election by 150k votes. This means that in a few hours, Democrats across the country will wake up, check the results, and full of shock and horror, ask how this happened. “Surely, no one in their right mind would vote for that monster.” In that sentence, we made two mistakes that will haunt us. One, we were condescending to Trump voters, and Two, we underestimated them. I’m going to try to step out of myself and be as nonpartisan as I can, and I ask anyone reading this to step out of yourself for a moment, and try to look…

Review: Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange is the final superhero movie of 2016. (thank fuck) After a year of movies that ranged from bad to meh, let’s see how Marvel decided to end their year. Doctor Strange is set in the MCU, so you can expect him to appear alongside Iron Man, Spiderman, and maybe even the Guardians of the Galaxy. I’ll warn you before I get to spoilers.

UPS and Their Utter Lack of Accountability
I order things online a lot. Yesterday, I got a package via UPS. It was delivered to my front door. Today, I was expecting two packages via UPS. They were not delivered. Instead I got this error on the Tracking Number system. “The street number is incorrect. This may delay delivery. We’re attempting to update the address.”

In Shocking News, I Am Autistic
I hadn’t planned on writing this. Mainly, because this website is dedicated to me complaining about stupid stuff, and occasionally ridiculing my parents. It’s meant to be entertaining and funny. I try to not take myself too seriously, and what started me doing this website was that people found my tedious rants humorous. However, over the last year or two, through interviews, biographies, and my Server Build walkthrough, I have been adding an educational aspect to the site. Another thing that convinced me to write about this is the massive ignorance about what autism actually is. When most people think of autism, they think Rain Man or some sort of creature that…

Chris Explains Country Lyrics to Black People
A few months ago, I did an article where I explained rap lyrics to white people. To build on that success, here’s the opposite. I’m going to try to explain country lyrics to black people. Hopefully with more conversations like this, we can build relationships, and end the cultural misunderstandings.

The Gay Agenda vs My Idiot Parents
This story is a few years old, but I was thinking about it the other day. My parents are fundamentalist Catholics. Think Glenn Beck, with less reasoning skills. They decided to remove my little brother from the Boy Scouts because “the gays were attacking”. Now that quote came from my brother who was like 12 at the time, and I’m sure he was just parroting whatever my parents told him.

Review: Suicide Squad
So this was a weird movie. Like, I can’t think of a better word, than “weird”. There were a lot of great scenes, and I will get into spoilers, but I’ll warn you before I do. Let’s start with a behind the scenes story. Marvel and DC have been competitors forever. Now that Marvel has had huge success with their MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), and DC has been hit or miss (mostly miss) with their movies, they decided to create their DCEU (DC Extended Universe). DCs TV Shows have been really good, but their movies haven’t. The Dark Knight trilogy was hugely successful, and Man of Steel was OK, but…

Review: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Note: First posted to my Facebook page, January 24, 2016 Let’s get into this. First, it was quite good. I thought all the praise was from the nerds getting a new movie, but it was really well done. It was visually stunning. The effect when the force was used was really cool. The plot seemed well paced. The nods to the previous movies seemed predictable though. Especially the cameos.

Review: Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
Note: First posted to my Facebook page March 26, 2016 Batman v (not vs, because that would make sense, and this movie doesn’t like that) Superman: Rant of Justice I’ll try to avoid major spoilers in this, but if you’ve seen the trailers, you already know everything you need to know. Seriously. You’ve seen the movie.
