FERRERMAN- AGAIN?

 We all know that a lot of women love bad boys. It's been this way since the caveman days when Aga saw Grog bonk Thag on the head and take his brontosaurus burger. She knew Grog was a man who took whatever he wanted. He could take her! He was so cavemanly! Women prefer dangerous men, that other men fear. It really gets their ladywood wet! Right? Yeah- to an extent. I mean, if there's one thing that the world has learned over the eons, it is that people are not all the same. I remember reading as a kid that there were 12 types of people (I think) on earth. This was decades ago, so of course I can't delineate what those 12 types are, but you can probably figure it out yourself based on your own observations in life. Have you ever noticed you keep meeting the same people over and over again in life? Your friends and lovers may fit a certain type. You may or may not consciously recognize it. You may or may not voice it, to yourself or anyone. The rules of attraction are quite f...

 Why it seems like only last year that this particular Ferrerman was purging streaming services in a vainglorious attempt to be a better, more ironically conservative, unstreamed rebel. What happened to that Ferrerman?  Oh, yes- the NFL playoffs in which the Chicago Bears were briefly featured. That happened.  In an era when most people are cutting the cord, I fired up the cord  here at The Home for Unwed Ferrermen, thinking that that would enable the viewing of many NFL games. It did, but not in the way that I thought. They are wise to guys like me who think that basic cable still gets you the networks that still (sorta) carry the games. The $20 a month package I got (that wasn't even called "basic cable") was a sad collection of streamable crap from the 70's and 80's, that was a real divorced dad line-up of shit that, if I was still renting kids, those kids would be very embarrassed for me. I know this because I was embarrassed for myself. "Columbo"? Y...

 Went down a rabbit hole of videos about a guy called "Pierogi" who catches internet scammers. It was great fun, but admittedly hard for this old Ferrerman to keep up with, what with all the computer stuff. Pierogi has a team of hackers working alongside him, but he's clearly THE guy when it comes to catching these internet crooks. They have great fun doing it, though their work is quite serious as they are saving unsuspecting people (usually elderly) from losing their savings. As I slide into late stage Ferrermanism, I am quite concerned about crimes against people in my age bracket and beyond. I've always been against scumbags who prey on the elderly, but obviously it hits closer to home now. I don't want to be jingoistic here, but it sure seems like the bulk of these scams originate in India and Pakistan. This is because there is safety in being a scammer a world away as far as the law is concerned, and India has a buttload of people who need work and don't...

I didn't watch. This wasn't out of any kind of political purity sentiments where I join with others to make a stand against this, that or the other thing in a vague effort to battle the status quo of fuckery. Like Rocky used to tell Bullwinkle, "That trick never works!" Well, maybe it does a little bit, but does it really matter?  I didn't watch because I know I can't stand to listen to that jagoff speak at all!  He quit being funny years ago. He's not a real president with policies and an ability to inspire hope in the nation as really only Obama could do. And besides, the State of the Union is never  "must see TV". It has always been a dog 'n pony show of the ruling party standing and applauding pretty much everything their guy says. It's just worse with Trump because he's such a natural born douchebag about everything. I heard that republicans stood and applauded when he said he wouldn't even need congress anymore. Did these d...

 One of my all-time favorite posters on Bluesky (she finds the best stuff) posted a link about a guy in France who interviewed 200 women for a job for the sole purpose of giving them a drug to make them wet their pants.  This was his raison de vivre.  I didn't read the article (a paywall) but I got the gist of it.  Why are people so fucking weird? What happens to them in life that makes them that way? I presume this guy got some sort of sexual pleasure out of this. But fucking why? Who writes this shitshow called life? I have long been curious about people's motivations. What makes them tick and why do they tock off from the rest of us? They probably don't know themselves and long since gave up on trying to figure it out. They just roll with it until it rolls over them as I assume it did with this Jaque de Peepee. Understanding people's foibles isn't to endorse or defend them, just explain them, good, bad or ugly. Like people who punch down on the homeless probably ...

 Ever be poking around on YouTube for something interesting and you see something that covers an interesting subject, but it's- say- one hour and fifty-four minutes long? You think, "My God- I could watch a movie in that time! What else is on? Oh, heck- I'll give it 10 minutes. I'm pretty quick on the uptake. I'll get the gist of it." Well, I watched the whole 1:54 minute story of a woman called "Mariah" who was sex-trafficked in a San Diego hotel room in a common, but still unusual way. She and the story were quite compelling.  At the time, Mariah was a very pretty, 19-year-old kid from Missouri who had gone to California to become a model. Everyone knows that story since it has happened a few million times since the invention of film and Hollywood. However, this was San Diego, and she only spoke of a desire to become a model. As is typical, it just wasn't happening right away. She was tired of sleeping on a friend's couch and her own mom ba...
