PRETTY & CUTE

This story from 2022 is mind boggling. I posted it online recently and several people thought it was fictional. Which is fair enough, most "NEWS" (Not Even Worth Shit) is entirely fictional, and this story may be as well, but it does check out:

Trans skateboarder defends competing against children after beating 13-year-old girl

A 29-year-old trans skateboarder who beat a 13 year old girl in a skateboarding has defended competing against children, saying “I’m not going to go easy on them because they’re kids”.

"Ricci Tres", from Los Angeles, won the women’s division of the Boardr Open street skateboarding competition and won a $US500 prize, with 13-year-old Shiloh Catori, from Florida, coming in second and taking a $US250 prize.

Four of the six finalists were under the age of 17, with the youngest being 10-year-old Juri Iikura, who came in fifth.

 Ricci Tres won the women’s competition. At 29, Tres was the oldest contestant.

Tres, a former Navy officer who previously went by Richard Batres, has three children to his ex-wife. Tres began taking testosterone-suppressing hormones two years ago.

“I’ve decided that I like being pretty and cute,” Tres said.

The transgender athlete’s victory sparked outrage on social media among critics, who blasted Boardr Open for allowing a much older competitor to face off against biological females — many of them children.

Skateboarder Taylor Silverman led the chorus of discontent, writing in an Instagram post, “Male wins women’s finals and money at Boardr Open NYC presented by DC today”

Silverman, who has been skateboarding for 11 years, previously complained on social media that she had lost to transgender rivals twice, including at the Redbull Cornerstone competition in May, when she missed out on $US5000 in prize money by coming in second.

But Tres has remained defiant, telling The Daily Mail in a new interview on Tuesday that skateboarding is not as physically demanding as swimming or running and that age and gender “don’t count”.

“I’m not going to go and be easy on them because they’re kids,” Tres said.

“It’s funny it’s what I am getting beat up over the most, people saying, ‘You’re beating little kids, little girls.’ I didn’t intend to do that. This is the first one I’ve been to that I actually wanted to win … the age thing doesn’t really count.”

Tres was always interested in skateboarding but didn’t consider it professionally until it became an Olympic sport in 2020.

“I’m just skateboarding to be happy,” Tres said. “I just want to be happy.”

According to The Daily Mail, Tres attempted to enter the Women’s Street USA Skateboarding National Championships in a bid to qualify for the Olympics, but was rejected for having too much testosterone.

Tres argued it was a different situation to that of University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, who became the first transgender woman to win the NCAA’s Division I swimming championship in March, sparking controversy.

Earlier this month, the swimming’s world governing body, FINA, banned most transgender female athletes from competing in all major events, including the Olympic Games.

“I don’t think I have physical advantage,” Tres said.
"Ricci Tres" used to be "Richard Batres".

“Look at me. I’m not buff or anything. I don’t work out really, I just skateboard. And I don’t think skateboarding has anything to do with physicality, especially when you look at kids these days. 

The whole physical aspect of skateboarding isn’t really there. It’s really the skill level. Any kind of advantage you get is determined by … skaters know … it’s your commitment and determination.”

Tres likened it to being “a race car driver”.

“If you love the sport, it speaks to you and you find ways to do what you do on your board,” Tres said.

“If I have any advantage is that I’m extremely determined. But that’s not an advantage. Everyone has the opportunity. It’s kind of like a race car driver. It doesn’t matter what you look like, you can drive the car regardless of your physique.”

The Navy veteran has three children and an ex-wife.

Tres suggested skateboarding should have different categories than just male or female.

“There are so many suggestions,” Tres said.

“It goes in hand with all the feedback I am receiving. A lot of it is negative, a lot of it is positive. I think it’s all necessary. People can get angry people can get happy and people can come together and come up with something. 

 

Personally I don’t think segregating everything is the right way. I feel like that would be calling us different, like a different human race when we’re not.”

Tres came to the “realisation” of being female two years ago after feeling “guilty” for secretly cross-dressing for years as a child.

“It was the thought of the fact that I’ve lived 27 years with these little guilt over random things that I didn’t give myself time to understand like cross-dressing … finally I just came to the realisation that I am female, have a lot of female energy and that is what I prefer to be,” Tres said.

Tres’s ex-wife and three children now live in Minnesota and the family haven’t seen each other for more than a year.

Nike did a "beautiful" woke advertising campaign featuring Ricci Tres talking about "being true" to himself. Of course there is nothing more "true" than a man trying to pass himself off as a woman...

GO WOKE GO BROKE

"Meaningful actions" include copying Bud Light and doing an ad with Dylan Mulvaney - that should work well for them!

 

He is the dude that pretty much ended Bud Light - can he do the same for Nike?

A FULL CIRCLE

Back in the 90's I was checking out a cool new clothing brand called SHIFT. I guess the name stood for a shift to a new more advanced state of awesomeness or something.

Looking at the SHIFT Logo I was Inspired to set up a website (we didn't used to call them blogs back then) called SIFT, meaning to sift around looking for interesting stuff.

I removed the H from shift and made my own versions of the logo in red & blue & purple rather than grey. When my blog later became quite popular I ended up printing SIFT T-shirts in a range of colours!

Around that time I also started going by the online alias SIFT but often found when I was signing up for accounts on platforms like g-mail that the name SIFT was already taken.

Even back then I was aware that there were try hard satanists lurking all over the internet and the circular logo of Google stood for 666, so I started calling myself “sift666” because that name was usually available. 

Actually I started calling myself about a dozen different online names but the sift666 one stuck.

Later, on a new blockchain platform, my sift666 name worked out very well because a bunch of the insiders fancied themselves as satanists, and thought I must be one of them as well. 

That was great for a while but I didn't realise that they really did consider themselves to be actual satanists. I thought they were just mocking the retarded satanists like I was, and we were all on the same page. Up until I did a post openly ridiculing satanists, and all of a sudden I was the anti-satan, so I was blacklisted from the platform.

Jump forward a decade and a friend started calling me “sifty”, meaning someone who lurks about not getting much done. A very appropriate name really.

Then I told her about my old blog where I used to have 800 misspelled porn search tags aimed at attracting illiterate google porn searchers, which got millions of hits up until Google blacklisted it. Notice a pattern here?

Anyway, after hearing that, she started calling me “shifty”, as in someone dodgy and cunning, who tricks satanic corporations online. Even more appropriate!

Then I realised I've nearly gone full circle from SHIFT to SIFT, and onward to SIFTY and then SHIFTY which is nearly right back to SHIFT again.

Over the past decade my blog hits have gone down from hundreds of thousands per year to bugger all, but now they seem to be going back up again.

After nearly three decades of battling my evil nemesis Google online, I've come to the conclusion that Google may be evil but I am shifty.

CHANGING TIMES

  

 Times change and this fake 50's style advert would freak most people out these days. Meanwhile coffee has replaced cigarettes now and it's probably doing every bit as much health damage as cigarettes ever were, but won't be widely questioned for decades.

 

LINUX GEEKS

 In this post I'll be referring to "GEEKS" quite a bit. This is not entirely disrespectful, I do appreciate all the work geeks put in, creating open source software. 

But like so many people who have transitioned from Windows to Linux I have come to view geeks as a bizarre sub-species of computer users who take a perverse pleasure in exerting their superiority over NEWBS (I was a newb too)

Making the shift from Windows to Linux is neither massively difficult, nor is it entirely easy. It's a bit of both, but a lot of the information online is biased, or badly presented, or created by geeks who are sometimes making things harder than they need to be.

Possibly some computer geeks place a value on themselves that partly stems from being the only ones who understand the technology, so making them gatekeeper tech gods. Which they get a buzz out of. 

Unfortunately this tends to mean that rather than making things easier for newbs by giving them simple instructions, they often give out incomprehensible instructions like "Just enter this simple command in Terminal". Their condescending tone of "this is all really easy" is infuriating and one of the main reasons so many newbs give up.

Geeks seem to be unwilling to accept that about 90% of people using computers are not other geeks, but regular people who want to have most, or even everything they do accessible through buttons and menus that they can click on. 

Personally I like to do everything on my PC using my mouse, and am about as anti keyboard command as it's possible to be. The very word "type" totally turns me off. "Copy & paste" I can do when necessary, but not "type" What I actually want to see are the words "click on".

Life often plays out in strange ways, and I have brain damage to the left hemisphere of my brain, so am very right brain dominant, but I still use computers anyway, and even sometimes seem to end up trying to explain computer stuff to other non-geeks who just want some basic instructions. 

My perspective from being a right brain computer user is a bit different to most of the people who are usually commentating on this stuff, so I imagine any actual geeks who see my posts might view me as a clueless idiot. Which I sort of am.

During the process of transitioning from Windows 7 (Yes, I was still using Win 7 up until 2024) to Linux Mint, it struck me that a lot of the information online is confusing rather than helpful, and I wish I could have read (Yes READ, not viewed endless badly done videos) web-pages that explained things in a way that made sense to me.

Now I want to leave some notes for my friends who at some point will be wanting to escape the clutches of Microsoft. Windows 11 is likely to be the final straw for a lot of people with it's obvious and intrusive spyware, so the end of Windows for non sheeple is looming close on the horizon. 

Linux is the only real option for anyone who wants to continue using a computer without selling their soul to the deep state. (Yes, Apple & Google are spying too)

As I've found from sticking with Windows 7 and refusing to use Windows 8 or Windows 10, it is possible to soldier on for years with an unsupported operating system. 

But installing Windows 7 on more modern hardware is a pig of a job, mainly because sorting out drivers can be really tricky, and there are ever increasing problems with software no longer working properly. 

Linux is the future and I think everyone who wants to use a computer with some degree of privacy is going to have to get the hang of it. So that's why I do a few Linux posts attempting to clarify things.

Is Facebook using AI accounts to generate online conflict?. I've seen the same pattern recently on most of the accounts that pop up on my posts and start giving me shit.

They sound like angry militant libturds, but in actual fact they are old accounts that haven't posted anything for over five years and have very few friends.

All of a sudden they have started posting angry but meaningless comments on the current controversial subjects. They never reply if questioned, and they never do any other activities on FB.

This "Karyn Amoore" account is a typical example. Go Karyn!
