FACEBOOK UNCENSORED

 

 Facebook has long had a reputation for censoring all non approved content. During the covidhoax (2020-2024) this censorship was particularly bad, and if you wanted to post anything that questioned the deep state narratives, you had to misspell key words, blur parts of images, and run multiple accounts to work around the constant 30 day account suspensions.

But in 2025 (essentially since Trump was selected), FB seems to have reprogrammed their censorship AI, and told it to back off. Most people on FB are now used to the old censorship restrictions, and like sheep avoiding an electric fence, they have no idea the power to the fence is no longer turned on.

We can now post all sorts of stuff that would have caused an account suspension in 2024 - vaccinations, eugenics, trannies, jews, globalist pedos - most of this stuff is no longer a problem on FB. There are still a few things that can trigger the censors, but they are often quite hard to anticipate. 

For example any deep reveals on jewish ownership and control of "alternative" gatekeeper shill influencers may be deleted, while discussing butthole sex practise manuals written for children's school sex education classes may be fine. It's hard to pick, but in general you can get away with a lot more stuff now than you could at any time over the previous decade. 

Rather than suspending your account, now the bots are more likely to just grey list it so everything you post comes up low in the AI algorithms. By always remembering to click on "Feeds" rather than just looking at a timeline of whatever approved popular shit the FB AI chooses for you, can see a chronological feed and bypass the effects of most of the grey listings anyway. 

This uncertainty about censorship led me to do an "AUGUST EXPERIMENT". Throughout August I'm aiming to test what we can get away with on Facebook, and what, if anything, we can't. Fingers crossed my account doesn't get suspended, because that would hinder the experiment. But I have other accounts...

AI FREE ZONE


Much as I like to declare myself a cell phone free zone, the less dogmatic truth is that I actually have continually owned cell phones since 1998. But I seldom use them, and I really did decide to leave the stupid things turned off at all times back in 2002.

 My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 that I bought second hand in 2019. I take it out of the house about once a week, usually keep it in a different room to the one I'm in, nearly always leave it turned off, and pretty much only use it to receive login confirmations a couple of times a week. 

It's my sixth cell phone and despite being seven years old, it's in mint condition. When it eventually stops working I'll probably replace it with a newer refurbished phone that I won't use either.

Which brings me to AI. Right now I'm looking at AI a bit like I was looking at cell phones in 2002. Yes AI is going to be the next big thing, but I think it sucks, and I want as little to do with it as possible. So I'm saying right now, as far as possible, I refuse to use or interact with AI. 

It's now estimated that around 50% of all internet activity is AI. The worst social media platform for AI is said to be Twitter ("X"), with around 75% of all content and activity being AI. I never look at Twatter myself because it's all utter crap, but I do look at Youtube (which is mostly utter crap as well). On YouTube it's glaringly obvious that the majority of the content, comments, and hits are AI. I suspect that it's actually more than 75% AI now, and climbing rapidly.

 

On Facebook which is the only social media platform I still use, the AI is rampant as well. But I don't think I'm interacting with it much, I mainly just get friend requests from women with huge boobs, no posts, and only about five friends. So really obvious fakes. I suspect a few of my "friends" are scammers, but I think those are dodgy real people rather than AI.

This may well turn out to be delusional and I could be getting conned by dozens of AI accounts, happily up-voting their fake content, or cheerfully commenting that they are lame and gay without realising I'm talking to a cell phone bot in some giant bot farm warehouse.


 Delusional or not, I'm keeping an eye out for anything that has signs of being AI. And if it looks like it might be,  I'm out of there. I suspect that there may come a time when I sound like a Luddite, but that is probably a good thing!

THE COUNCIL IS MOCKING US

The joke is always on the ratepayers - Throughout it's incompetent history the Wellington city council has been constantly mocking us...
 
We got a close up view of one of their scams in action when some workmen did a repair to the footpath over the road from us - there was one guy doing all the work, with 7 other guys standing there watching, and 52 road cones - for real, I counted them!
 
 
They even had a wheelchair ramp on both sides of the road just in case, with an extra dozen road cones and a guy in charge of managing the two ramps!
 
Road cones are breeding and taking over the country...

COMPUTER ADDICTION


After spending years trying to get my possibly right brain dominant mind to work in the unnatural (to me) world of computers, I can see that while I may now be more computer literate than many people, I'm certainly not a natural. The darn things drive me batty, but I'm addicted to using them anyway.

The main thing I have going for me with computers, is that sometimes being totally out of my depth leads me to simplify things & sometimes even explain them in a way a borderline autistic geek generally won't.

As a Generation X old fart I think most of Generation Z and many of Generation Y are somewhere on the autism spectrum. And I think that is primarily because most of them are jabbed to the gills with the deadly concoctions of poisons we have been programmed to believe are "vaccinations".



If I could start over I'm not sure what if I would do things much differently with computers. When I first got a PC and an internet connection in 1998, things were very different to now. I think that some of the information I later learned online very probably saved my life, so if I went back in time I wouldn't "just say no" to using computers.

On the other hand I do think cell phones are horrible devices, and with the benefit of hindsight I'd do exactly the same thing that I did back in 2002. I would again say no to using cell phones all together, that was a really good decision.


If there was no time travel device available, and I was starting out with computers again here in 2025, I'd do some things differently with the hindsight and 20/20 vision of having watched the past 1/4 century unfold. For example I'd use Linux rather than Windows, I'd totally ignore all social media, and I'd only do software updates when hell froze over.

The most important thing I'd be aiming for, is to be more disciplined about what I allow to come pouring into my mind. Doing things like writing notes, or blog posts, or doing digital art, or researching and learning about new topics of interest, are all great use of computers. They can be amazing tools.


But getting sucked into looking at all the endless bullshit online, or constantly farting about with technical issues because the software is utter shit, that is not good. Computers can easily become time wasting mind programming devices of evil, and I think they are deliberately becoming more so day by day.

Like almost everyone, I'm constantly being bombarded with complete bullshit. The fudporn and deep state mind programming constantly gets more invasive. Since the covidhoax, using the internet feels like wading around in giant sewage pond. It's not that all the good information has been deleted, rather it's been buried deep in layers of shit and we are being relentlessly directed to look at that shit.



I have mostly stopped using social media, but nevertheless I'm still addicted to regularly checking Facebook, looking at videos on YouTube and other video platforms, and surfing about looking for all sorts of things online.

About once a week I get to the point of thinking "This is filling my mind with negativity, but can I stop?" - Could I give up all use of the internet? I have tried setting time limits, like one hour maximum internet use per day, but every time I've failed to stick to that limit after about two days.

Not using phones is easy because although I do have one, I hate the annoying thing and am only too happy to never use it. There is no deep seated desire to use a phone that I have to resist. On the rare occasions that I decide to take it somewhere the battery is usually flat so I don't.

So what am I going to do about this ongoing struggle between using tech and avoiding it? As I always seem to do, I have come to the conclusion my main problem is that my mind is being poisoned by the internet. I need to use it with total self control. One hour a day could actually be enough to do what I need to do, if I made a point of downloading all the things I wanted to read or look at, rather than always looking at things online. But that is a fiddly pain in the arse.



I even bought myself a bright yellow stopwatch to try to control my internet addiction. If I used that to ration out my internet use I could potentially have the best of both worlds. But I've previously found it's not as easy as it sounds. This time I plan to differentiate between "good" and "bad" use of my internet time. Looking at random crap online definitely comes into the "bad" category. I'm going to get my yellow stopwatch out again for August. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again"
