When the Physiognomy Publication Strikes.

 

Apparently, being "account restricted" means Facebook moves all your posts further down the newsfeed when published. They do this because their surveys indicate that people only look at the first few posts on their newsfeed and ignore anything further down. This is shadow-banning by definition and they do it for the most ridiculously trivial stuff - by and large any conservative jab that hits too close to home. This avoids outright blocking of accounts. I got in trouble for the meme about Hillary calling the suicide hotline to place an order.

This one got me "restricted".

The big 4 have seen what's happened to Twitter for doing censorship too obviously. Americans have a thing about being told they have to shut up because some elitist said they have to. Assigning "Account Restricted" status to troublesome members allows them to restrict people from seeing your post without setting up too much of a fuss. Twitter did get carried away with their own "power" when they banned a sitting president from their platform. Oops! That got them on the receiving end of a hostile takeover, triggering mass professional career suicides among their staff and weeping and wailing such as has not been seen since Donald Trump beat Hillary in 2016 despite the smart people's attempts at propagandizing the masses against the evil "Orange Man."

 

I just saw a meme that got a friend's account restricted for months. It was a picture of an "elephant in the room" with writing on its side that observed that the predicted massive death toll of the those who have been disobedient to a certain very visible high paid medical professional's orders, had yet to happen. All that to safely say Dr. Fauci on the book of Face without drawing the attention of nosy censors. Fewer words were used in the meme as you can see, but those words apparently flagged the Facebook Gestapo every time the meme appeared. The meme has been thoroughly eradicated from the net. Can't find it on several search engines or on any of the major social media platforms.

 

Though the meme may or may not be true, it has been and is being scrubbed. Even the email my friend sent me with the meme attached has disappeared from my gmail account AND to my shock, from my hard drive. The actual stats on vaxed vs unvaxed deaths vary from place to place and study to study. Early results in the UK had an almost 2 to 1 death toll among the vaccinated over the unvaxed. The uncomfortable thing for mandate fans is that, there has, in fact, been no mass extinction of the not yet and maybe never be v@#$%^&*ed. This is something that apparently must not and cannot be said on the book of Face. Because it is a debatable statement, but one which FB cannot allow to be said, it must be banned. Because it contradicts the imparted wisdom of the government, it seems the "account restricted designation has been useful to quietly "handle" such heresies by shadow-banning any discussion of the issue.  I almost didn't notice the little red flag telling me my account was restricted. Fortunately, I'm on 9 different social media platforms, so I'm not totally shadow banned.

This blog was originally a Facebook post (or should I say, "Physiognomy Publication post?"). I'm hoping I've avoided algorithm key words in my original Physiognomy Publication post that would alert and trigger the Physiognomy Publication's secret police. 

 

But just in case, I'm copying this to my weblog here and posting it with a hopefully innocuous title on any social media I have access to. Wish me luck, guys. If I get busted, I plan to play the victim card as a person of color. White is, after all, a color. In fact, white is actually a combination of all colors. Ironically true black reflects no colors at all. Technically it's colorless. That innocent observation would definitely get me banned on Physiognomy Publication. In the summertime though, I tend to be a bit swarthy when I'm out in the sun a lot. I'm also part native American (at least more native American than Elizabeth Warren anyway). Some of my Native American ancestors have entries on Wikipedia. I guess that means I'm oppressed.*

It's About Time Delivery Drivers Stop Being Married to GPS

 THIS IS NOT MY HOUSE!

It's not even my stuff. I think it's someone else's stuff mixed up with mine and dumped alongside the road because it was after 10pm and the driver couldn't read directions and GPS lost my house 8 years ago. And she wanted to go home. Walmart says I can have my money back in 48 hours. Fat lot of good that does me.

I'm royally hacked off at a Door Dash driver named Mandy. My Walmart order was due between 9 and 10pm. It was late because the driver ignored clear written instructions because her GPS disagreed with them and assumed that I don't know where I live. 

GPS lost our house 8 years ago. Door Dash had a representative call me. I could barely understand her. English was not her native language. She told me I couldn't call the driver. She asked me if my mailbox number was 15123. I said no and told her the correct number, 13122, which was written on the delivery slip. 

The driver didn't call me. Instead she dumped my food in front of a row of mailboxes one of which had a few of my address numbers on it. She piled it all alongside the road in the dirt. I don't even know what road it's on. Walmart is going to refund my money in two days. Till then I don't have enough left in the bank to go ahead and reorder what I needed so we are stuck. Hope some hungry person finds the food.

My wife and I are both partially disabled and we don't have a car. So their delivery service is very important to us. I could tell from the Door Dash agent that the driver was mad at us. The agent hung up on me and I was being as polite as I could be. I did remove the driver's tip. 

Where do they get these people? I've had three similar incidents in the past 3 months where the driver apparently couldn't read written directions and got mad at ME for not being where GPS thought I ought to be. The picture above shows where they dropped it all off in the dirt on the side of the road. 

I look for it but I'm not sure where this is and it could be anywhere in a 6 block radius. It's late at night and we have coyotes roaming the neighborhood and car thieves coming down from Seattle because everyone is moving away from there to my neighborhood!

I tried calling Walmart, but they close at 11 and I got the picture above a half hour before closing time. None of the associates would pick up the phone. They too wanted to go home I guess.

Walmart has been a great help to us during all this CoVid hysteria. I just joined Walmart Plus to get their delivery service. I defend the leftists who attack Walmart and want us to go to rude Mom and Pop stores that charge us more money and are more inconvenient and less accessible to buy stuff. I'm a fan of Sam Walton's company.

Door Dash, however, has hired some wildly incompetent drivers. They need to do some training. Some of the guys are great and I always tip them well, but really. This is getting ridiculous. Someone needs to tell these snowflakes that sometimes the GPS is wrong and you have to use the phone or do some dead reckoning - use a little logic.

There are some smart ones. I had a young lady driver from Ranier Pizza who found us on her first attempt by seeing where the arrow pointed to our house in the middle of a wood showing no roads. She drove around two sides of the block, spotted our mailbox and took the one lane gravel driveway that leads all the way back to our house, turned right at the rock with 13122 painted on it and brought our pizza hot to the house. I tipped her handsomely. Sadly Ranier Pizza has closed. I liked their pizza and their driver.

It's a shame you can't request specific drivers. Some of the guys would have more calls than they could handle. Others would be out of work in days.

Well that's my rant. Sheila has to wait for a couple of days for the Rocky Road Ice Cream that is currently melting alongside the road somewhere in our rather large neighborhood.

Google Adsense Announces New Censorship Policy

Corporate Censors Rally to Support Failing Progressive Narrative

Big Tech comes to the rescue of floundering Democrat party. If the Constitution is at least partially preventing government censorship of free speech as new free speech social platforms arise and draw millions of followers, then the left goes around the government through their corporate toadies to curb free speech.

Google Adsense is the latest member of corporate Pravda to announce a new policy on curbing all that pesky free speech today. They have announced that the advertising broker will be cutting off monetization of blogs and websites that offer "dangerous or derogatory" content or which "incite violence or deny tragic events" (can you say, "the January 6th insurrection"). In other words if the FCC isn't going to censor the Internet, then Big Tech will. They are trying to insure that no content gets out that does not fit the progressive narrative. They especially mentioned Ukraine and will forbid any information or editorializing about the war in Ukraine that does not match the White House's spin on it.

Folks, we're headed for the days of an American Pravda and the remaking of the United States as the Union of Soviet States of America. And the USSA isn't going to be one whit better than its Russian predecessor was. It seems as though the left is busily condemning Russia on the one hand while seeking to emulate the worst characteristics of the old Soviet Union on the other. Of course, Russia dumped communism, which may be what the left is angry with them about. At any rate, American Marxism is simply another Marxist gang like Nazism and Communism and the disagreements among them are nothing but turf wars like we've seen between the Crips, Bloods, Hell's Angels, and MS-13. Same philosophies, different tyrants running the show.

Thank God, Jesus is coming. The vitriol coming from the left is but a sniff of sulfur on the winds of progressive "change". It's sad that the leftist tools out there really do think they'll be members of the ruling class simply because they made supportive noises. News flash, ANTIFA, BLM and Berkley radicals. The first thing triumphant Marxist's do is burn their tools so they can't object when they find out they were lied to all along.

Truly sad.
