BBC or Cineworld

I was looking at nothing earlier, lost in my own thoughts. Women must think that mens heads are filled with dirty thoughts, but the truth is we think about our problems and things. We think about our bad decisions we made in the past and things we want to do in the future. We think about things we want to buy like recliners or computers and things like that. Men beat themselves up about mistakes we made many years ago then we think about what we want. 

I was thinking about Cineworld and the BBC. They both have subscription service that costs roughly the same price. The Cineworld pass lets you watch as many movies as you like. The TV licence gives you the freedom to watch all the content on British state television (BBC). I told myself that I will only have one because I don't want to pay for both and don't have time for both of them. 

I like to watch crime documentaries and news reports on the BBC iPlayer. The other stuff doesn't really interest me much, I don't like talent shows or cooking programs. Sometimes the drama shows are ok; the historical ones can sometimes be cool. In Cineworld they tend to only show new movies and most movies are not interesting to me but you get to sit inside the cinema and be supplied with 32 amp surround sound and subwoofer speakers that are too loud to use at home. The screen in the cinema  is so big it wouldn't fint in my home. In my home I just use 1.5 amp TV speakers built into the TV.

If I decided to cancel my TV licence and stop watching BBC content, I would replace it with a Cineworld pass. In recent days, I started leaning towards Cineworld because the BBC created a documentary with a video that was edited in a misleading way. They were bending the truth and putting words in someone's mouth using editing. They even fired some of their staff that were involved. The BBC isn't infallible, they sometimes take a view that is wrong. Sometimes I feel like they're biased and not impartial about their content. 

Where is the Planet Sergeant ?

I was wondering now there is a very clear genocide in progress in Sudan and Northern Nigeria, will the planet sergeant sail there and protest. She told us we have stolen her childhood and she is full of anger. When will she sail out there? 

The streets are empty, no one is going out to protest. There are no crowds gathering outside the Nigerian embassy or the Sudanese one. Nothing. 

I guess outrage is selective. 

I feel frustrated, I feel like I can't do anything about it because I'm  just an ordinary man. I can only write down the truth and hope people will wake up. I hope other leaders will speak up. 

BBC Panorama

It was during remembrance Sunday that I learned that the BBC Panorama show had edited Donald trump's video to make it sound like he was inciting the riots. They used something he said later in a speech to put words in his mouth. 

This is what got Charlie Kirk killed; media organisations would chop up his videos and change what he was saying using video editing. Many people convicted themselves he is a villain that deserves to die. 

At least there is integrity in my own blog, I write down the truth plus my opinions. If my opinion is wrong it won't matter because I make it clear it just my opinion. 

The Blog of an ordinary  man, filled with integrity and truth. 

Micro World

One thing that makes this time period significant is the ability to make transistor arrays microscopic and cram billions of them into a tiny space. SD cards are quite cheap these days and I find the stamp sized cartridges to be very easy to get hold of. They can store billions of characters of Data. (Several hours of high quality video) . If your phone is low on memory, you can insert a micro SD card and expand the memory of the device. It will store all your pictures and app data.

The same is true of smart TV sticks or circuit boards for smart TVs. They render high quality  video and sound and send it to the TV. When I was born, a computer that can handle the graphics of PAC Man was astonishing. 

That is the highlight of the week sometimes, sitting down on a late evening when I'm off duty with a nice cup of tea  and looking through the menu of Netflix for something interesting to see. 

The First Third of November

One third of November has passed by, there has yet to be frost in the morning here in my part of Britain and feeling frustrated is normal. There is an ongoing genocide happening throughout the world. Thousands of Christians are being killed every month in Nigeria and countless others are being killed in Sudan for being Christian or "too black?"'. I can't do anything about it. The President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu is downplaying the genocide; this isn't the '90s, everyone has smart phones, they all have advanced cameras in their pockets as an accessory and they share their persecution with the world, I see pastors standing in mass graves calling out for help, I see body bags and blood stained burned out churches. What can I do? the only thing I can do is write down the truth and hope we can stop this crisis. Being frustrated is pointless when I know I can't do anything other than share the truth. Even when Donald Trump spoke out, social media was peddling a view of a oil lobbyist with his own interests. He's a brave man, he must have known many would react that way. I hope that other leaders stand up and speak up. 

I distract myself. I look at things. I was looking at a coffee coloured coat, it had a hood at the back and some zipped pockets. I thought it looked very nice and the price was quite low. I read through all the reviews. I look at things to stop feeling frustrated sometimes, other times it is a way to stop feeling angry or stressed. 

Nigeria Cover Up

The president of Nigeria Bola Tinabu claims Christians are not being persecuted in Nigeria, he claims terror groups like Boko Haram are killing people of all faiths, even other Muslims. I don't agree. 

I think he is lying, I think the terror groups in the north of the country are targeting mostly Christians, they're going after churches and shooting Christians dead. I'm saying you can't downplay persecution anymore because everyone has smart phones and they can share their persecution with the world. The world can see it happening.

Most politicians tell many lies and break many promises. I think he doesn't want to send soldiers to confront the terrorists, they have advanced weapons like mounted 50 calibre assault rifles with accurate targeting scopes. 

The terrorist don't care about the constitution, they don't adhere to the rules. That's why they're called terrorists. 

Wimpy Bot

Recently I leaned that a domestic humanoid robot had become available to the market. It made me realize why C3PO from star wars was a wimp. The robot didn't really have emotions like fear; the reason it was a wimp was because the manufacturer didn't want to get sued so they programmed it to behave like a wimp. If C3PO was bold and confrontational, it could cause a violent outburst and get the owner injured. They could say their loved one was clobbered to death because his robot was shooting its mouth off and place the blame on the robot's manufacturer. 

When I look at the Robot called neo, I understand their concerns. They made the robot very soft and incapable of showing threatening provocative behaviour. It can't even show facial expressions. It just looks like a gentle servant. 

While I was processing this thought, I learnt that there was a mass stabbing on a train in the midlands. I'm guessing some young man with schizophrenia had lost the plot or something like that and the authorities left the fence open. I feel like every time we have Halloween, evil spirits emerge amongst the minds of people and cause chaos. He should be careful how we celebrate festivities because we're inviting evil things into our world.
