Retailers Are Disabling NFC Readers To Shut Out Apple Pay By Dante D'Orazio, Theverge.com

Pretty cool. My daughter and I grooved on this while we walked to her school this morning. Nice tempo-setting song for walking... and we may have free-form danced in the process. Love Daughter-Dad walks!

So this shite happened...

Doris is a fucking peach.

And whatever happened to 'agree to disagree' and intelligent conversation? If we differ, let's talk about it. Don't take a passive aggressive ditch route to snipe at me like some pesky ankle-nipper. This is weak shite.

But let me know in the comments your take and opinion. I'll consider every perspective and angle. Because, after all, I'm open to everything and opposed to nothing. Nothing except, that is, chicken-shit trolls, Internet shit-and-runs, fux who shite-post and then tuck tail and delete the account or block me from any kind of rebuttal, and time-wasters

Solitary pursuits can be quite rewarding, after all. If I'm meant to be alone at this time in my life, I may as well make the most and best use of the time. Loneliness only kills if you let it, after all.

I refuse to chase anyone anymore.

Hi! Have you ever tried not being a shitlord to independent artists? I hear that it's a fun hobby. Love you, bye

I'm an independent artist, ass-hat. I don't know what prompted your aggression, but you're dismissed now. And you can piss off in the process. If I offended you or anyone else, that's your weight to carry. I speak frankly and pointedly, so if a critique or commentary on mediocre or amateurish, overplayed work/styles is the issue for you, the artist should buck up and work to improve their art. Truth hurts, but it is also a tool to shake up someone that can do better and compel them to improve and develop true independence and not some copy-cat, everybody's-doing-it work. Take that or leave it, I don't care a tinker's damn.

And again, you're dismissed. Go away.

... unless they're plans for global conquest and tyranny...

I see landscapes of other planets when I walk late at night...

Had to re-post this because now, more than ever before, being all in this together seems more real, more genuine, even if that is a frightening proposition. Please, if you happen upon someone who is homeless or otherwise marginalized and/or forgotten, find charity in your heart and give that HUMAN a hand, a dollar, a cup of coffee, a sandwich, or whatever you can muster. And please do it with a smile, a warm touch of your hand, and an inaudible prayer to God. Because, at any time, that could me or you...

I found this today on a silent, solitary hike around my town, Leesburg, VA. I think it's safe to say, given this person's accommodations under a bridge, that, per the graffiti, that this human's not 'kk'. Far fucking from it. I ventured closer, but saw no one "home," so I said a small prayer and left a $20 bill inside the meager "front door." I hope this person has a better night than the last one. Please pray or, if you're not a spiritual person, but still consider yourself connected to humanity and The Universe, send good thoughts to the Cosmos that this person rises out of her or his current station. And if you happen to come upon something like this in your environs, I hope you have the wherewithal to lend a hand of compassion and charity.

Because we're all in this together...

What does it mean if I see a donkey?

That’s a horse’s head, tho.

My BFF Coming out to her 89 Year old Grandmother

BFF: Grandmother I need to talk to you

Grandma: [concerned voice] What? What is it? Are you sick?

BFF: No, no. Grandma. I'm gay.

Grandma: What?

BFF: I'm gay Grandma. I have a girlfriend now.

Grandma: [relieved voice] Oh honey, is that all? I thought you had cancer. Anytime someone needs to tell me something they are sick. Who's your girlfriend, when is her birthday? I'll bake her a pie.

The pride flag of reality. Get over your sense of being outside. Come together and cease the separatist bullshit.

No one gives a great Goddamn fuck anyway, so just coast... tits

Which pride flag is this?
