The dogshit of Google+
Google is your enemy. Like Facebook and Twitter, it is the pinnacle corporation for the Culture of Lickspittle. It’s search and ranking algorithms, stretched across the globe, have cemented the winner-take-all economic environment. If you’re not in the top of the ratings, you don’t exist in our Google-world.
For the past few weeks I’ve noticed Google mailing me every week with a selection of “the best” posts on Google+.
Today’s offering was what most people were liking, Google-plussing, and passing around.
You can guess how inane it was.
1. Fuzzy video of three men in Africa being chased by a lion! They come to their range rover and two dive under for cover. The third jumps behind the wheel and drives away. That’s some real Three Stooges-like comedy! Hawwwwwwww!
2. Fuzzy animated gif, “How to turn off a cat.” More precisely, how to turn off a kitten, a trick everyone knows who has ever had one, pinching the fur on the back of the neck as when Mommy-cat takes her offspring somewhere else. Hawwww! Isn’t that cute!!!!
3. Inane Google-doodle-like animation of a Rube Goldberg machine that makes blue balls. Hawwwwwwww!
This is what Google’s supercomputing technology does. Pump utter dogshit to hundreds of millions of people every day.
Google is so special, it swiped the picture I was using on my MrDickDestiny account on YouTube and put it on the old account I used for Blogger, and joined the two. I haven’t logged onto the latter in years.
I quit Blogger because I was tired then of being screwed by Google.
That was in 2009, five years ago, and I wrote about it here.
So, again, in 2013 Google took the picture I uploaded for my profile on YouTube and put it on the account I haven’t used in half a decade. It didn’t ask, it didn’t say it was going to do it, it just did it.
And now my profile picture is this attractive cipher symbol (see upper left).
When I tried to replace it with my old picture, Google wouldn’t let me do it. There is no dealing with Google. Ever. Google deals with you.
They really are inimical in Mountain View. There is nothing Google does that will ever help you out. And that is why the tech monolith is perfect for the Culture of Lickspittle. Its culture is the same, one with the kickdown society.

And of course the education/entertainment industry hasn’t prepared the population to accept dogshit as steak… wait a minute I might have that wrong.

Heh. I would have never seen fuzzy animated gifs as a golden thing coming. They’re almost like minting your own currency.
