I have slowly been trying to take everything I’ve done online, minus my irrelevant ramblings on facebook or twitter and bring it all in as part of Zemation.  Although it hasn’t been used in several years the post I made in journal have played a big part in my life and personal growth.  It provided me an outlet away from the standard.

I have taken the time to import that content and continue on my own personal live journal here and see how it goes.  While this means any other personal blogging I may do will be limited to zemation hopefully that shouldn’t be an issue and still be used as an outlook.  While this site is set up as a news site it’s still me and I hope to continue that philosophy in all aspects in the future.

If there’s one thing I believe, its the power of the internet.  The internet has given the ability for anybody to have a voice should they choose to use it.  That’s the belief that zemation grew from.  So to a point I find the backlash that Amy’s Baking Company got for their now referred to “Epic Facebook Meltdown” somewhat absurd and somewhat justified.  Aside from the fact that this place made themselves look like lords of doucheville on national television they are still entirely entitled to their opinions.

That being said they admit their business was probably not in the best financial situation.  This has been the reason these business request help from Gordan Ramsay.  It seems odd that they were completely unable to accept his opinions in a situation where he is there to help.  At no point did they accept a single point of criticism.    So, you call up a man that is world renowned as a “Master-Chef,” to come help your restaurant that you claim is in dire straits and than deny any thing he recommends to help.   You must be pretty fucking intelligent.

Let’s look at the after math.  You are familiar with the internet and Yelp and Reddit and Facebook.  If only you understood how it worked.  The internet, contrary to what you would like to believe is still protected under Freedom of Speech.  So those people that are attacking you, you really cannot do much to people expressing their opinion.  Just because somebody says something that doesn’t actually credit you, does not mean that it is an attack.  If you all want to save your business, it’s time to grow the fuck up.  Because you will fail.

Because of this you have earned the first of our second award.  The GFY award.  You have ruined your image, pissed off thousands of people who are sitting to the side ready to watch you fail.  Good luck and as the award is, Go Fuck Yourself.

UPDATE:

In following up with information on this we came across an article in the Washington Post who illustrated

How To Lose An Argument on the Internet. The basic steps, for anyone curious:

1. TYPE IN ALL CAPS
2. Explain that God is on your side.
3. Call the other person a rude four-letter, three-letter, five-letter, six-letter, ten-letter, or twelve-letter name.
4. Explain that you are right because the other person is an idiot, while misspelling something.
5. USE ERRATIC PUNCTUATION OR GRAMMAR WHILE CALLING THE OTHER PERSON STUPID ALSO DO THIS IN ALL CAPS.
6. Describe your cats as “little boys in cat bodies” or “little people in cat suits” or “children, but actually cats, but really children” or “non-human children.”
7. Refuse to stop arguing.
8. When the backlash starts, insist that you were hacked.

Thank you Alexandra Petri.

One of the things that has kept this site from moving forward in a consistent fashion has been satisfaction.  By that, anybody who has followed the site for some time already knows, I change it a lot.  This site has been forums, wordpress, joomla, drupal and back to wordpress.  It has also had other open source cms systems in there for trial purposes but those are the main ones.  The goal of this site has always been one thing.  To get people to think.

I have also stated and stand by the fact that it is a way for me to have fun.  There are many different things in life that grab my attention.  Sometimes I get the desire to actually comment on it.  Somethings are just fake stories about fictional characters in which I’ve gotten bored and a random thought ran through my head.  The things that are going to be posted here have the potential to piss you off and offend you.  If it does you are an idiot.   Know that we stand behind the philosophy that things that bother you are things you allow to.

It is an redundant fact that what keeps us from moving forward is ourselves.  We are inhibitors of our own evolution.  This by far does not mean I’m taking a stand for that train of theology.  Whether you are an atheist or christian you should at least understand that evolution is not a them strictly for genetics and more intellectual evolution and our ability to create items to improve our quality of living.  We spend our time find ways to limit freedoms we enjoy on others, forcing our own beliefs on others, criticizing everybody else for not agreeing, or feeling like everybody else owes us something.

What we want is people to actually embrace the idea of equality, self responsibility and true entitlement.  However, we have grown bitter about these ideas and that people do not like them.  Whether its for religious or political reasons why can we not just have our own world views that do not impact somebody else’s rights and freedoms and be done.  We are social creatures who are terrible at social interaction.  So I’m going to offend you, and piss you off until you realize, that the problem is you.

Oh PETA, how you make me giggle inside.  Far from the cry of the days of painting rich peoples mink coats, comes the complaints I’ve heard from you in the past two years.  It seems like you have expired your interest in real life and actual animals and decided that digital fictional worlds need to suffer your global terrorism.  Yes, I have called your bullshit terrorism.

At this point do something that actually helps animals and stop wasting your time and providing me with resources to ridicule you.   So to clarify the purpose of this post, PETA has their panties in a twist of Assassin Creed 4.  The reasons for this is because you can take your fictional character in a fictional world and go whaling for fictional whales.   Let’s not even go into the fact that gamers are growing up with the gaming industry and would like things that have a little realism to them.  Contrary to whether or not whaling is ethical, as we don’t believe whales should be killed in such fashions, you even admit that it has happened in history.

Do you believe, in your minds that it is more beneficial to animals to stop digital whaling, or actually do something for real whales?  This follows up on the heels of the great Tanooki outrage of 2011.  You know, where you attacked our beloved fictional plumber that has countless times risked his life to save a princess from an evil reptilian dictator only to recently be scolded because he were a tanooki skin that allowed him to fly.  Yes to fly.  I highly doubt millions of children will seek to hunt these poor creatures in an effort to make lift off a part of their daily routine.

So my dear PETA, shut the fuck up.  At this point you’re barking up a tree that is completely contrary to your goal.  Putting whaling in a game is not glorifying it.  They’re not saying this is right they are saying it happens.  To be honest I have to believe games like these bring more to helping animals than your poor misjudged, misguided attacks.  Get your shit together and actually help an animal.  That is what you do right?

As far as I recollect, the Bill of Rights does not say there is free speech in designated areas.  We are also of a mind here that, “We the People, of the United States of America,” have lost control of our country.

Orange County Judge Belvin Perry overstepped his authority by creating free speech zones in and around the Orange Courthouse in Orlando.  Mark Schmidter has actually been jailed twice for handing out fliers to jurors. This has been labeled as jury tampering.  However, lets evaluate a few things.

The pamphlets Mark was handing out was not tied to any specific case.  What they were about was jury nullification.

a sanctioned doctrine of trial proceedings wherein members of the jury either disregard the evidence presented or the instructions of the judge in order to reach a verdict based on their own consciences. It espouses the concept that jurors should be the judges of both law and fact.

More than anything he was in fact informing them of their rights and abilities as jurors.  It sounds more like a judge felt authority he didn’t have needed to be exercised.    So we push forward with our philosophy that we are apathetic and allow this violations of our rights to happen every day.  This is time to actually start waking up.  The choice is yours.

Quite aware that for the longest time, even though they are not as wordy as I would like, the content of the posts on this blog aren’t as harsh as they could be.  It could be that when it comes down to it, I’m looking to gather an audience.

I think this is why Zemation has not been touched in so long.  I’ve been trying to write for everybody else instead of for myself.  The only reason I ever started writing was as a release for pent up aggression.  I think the idea of writing for the community overshadowed the reason for doing it in the first place.  For that I can only ask myself for forgiveness.

Today, comes your disclaimer.  From this point forward, if you are easily offended, close the browser window and don’t return to this blog.  I will say things that will enrage you, that will unnerve your sensibilities and point out both your shortcomings and faults.

You’ve been warned.

We have recently had the pleasure of talking to a very pleasant man named Ron. Now most people in this country are fed up with several different aspects which we will cover solving many of our nations problems in an upcoming article. Ron Hatton is the founder of Gadgetman Technologies, a resource used to improve the gas mileage on your vehicle.

We already know the oil industry has a foothold in America and while we complain about it nobody really does anything to change the dependencies. There are a select few that actually try to help us get along day to day by working to change that very dependency.

Ron Hatton has developed a process using the throttle body to greatly enhance the pressure wave in the intake created by the downstroke of the piston. The end result is a reduction in “Waste Fuel.”

The point of all this in the long run is to increase your mileage. Through the various testimonials and even regional certified techncians this is possible to have done on your cars as well. This process has been brought before the Environmental Protection Agency which has a division to verify the performance of innovative technologies that have the potential to improve protection of human health and the environment.

During these test one thing that was never measured in testing their specific parameters is the amount of fuel in the tank. The question that stands here is. How can you measure fuel efficiency with out measuring fuel?  Are you fucking serious?  Isn’t the idea to know how much fuel you have.  Drive so many miles, than find out the difference.  This to me seems to be very fundamental mathematics.

Who’s pocket is your money in?

Aside from my annoyance that I had already typed this article once and verified that it was saved, meaning I’m not sure if my host rolled something back to annoy me, more has developed since the original posts.

First our hearts go out to the families and victims of the Aurora CO tragedy. If there is one thing we abhor here at Zemation it’s stupidity of any kind. (We do understand there is difference between stupid and ignorant.)

What started this for me was the fact the Rotten Tomatoes actually had to shut down comments on their website for The Dark Knight Rises. The reason for this is critics who are allowed to pre screen the movie and give their review. Some of those reviews were not flattering of the movie and those that have yet to see it had posted insults, derogatory statements and even death threats.

Let’s stop and think about that for a moment. You have not seen The Dark Knight Rises. You have no idea of its quality at all and yet you feel compelled to threaten the life of somebody else over it. Not to mention its only a movie. People ask me all the time how I can say I’m losing my faith in humanity. This, alongside some moron who opened fire on opening night killing innocent people are testaments to that dwindling faith.

We make threats over pieces of fiction because somebody doesn’t share our opinion, steal other peoples shoes, take no responsibility, think we deserve everything and elect morons with self serving and corporate interest into office. We let things we don’t want to see offend us whether then close a browser or turn the channel. We sign up for contracts, don’t read terms of service and get mad because a company holds us to them.

Our education level has went downhill over the past decade and the general populace is actually become a lower level intellect then a human should be. We are de-evolving ourselves. I’m inclined to say we deserve it.
