Anathema

The series of events commencing with the estimated tax fiasco through the bullshit with Subway® has laid the inner miser to rest … permanently. Whether that’s good or bad remains to be seen. To celebrate (term used loosely), dinner was courtesy Yummy Korean BBQ in Ala Moana Center. The price of the meal, of course, is now double what it was prior to the “super-duper corona” plan-demic. And, no discounts or coupons were available. The meal was delicious and actually quite filling. For dessert, a pint of Häagen-Dazs® ice cream was procured at Target®. All 900+ calories were consumed right then and there. Oh, what a slob!

Late afternoon or evening outings at Ala Moana Center are now followed by a brief stopover at the International Marketplace. The purpose is the get into the habit of being out-and-about as long as possible. Sequestration is the mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki is an anathema to sanity.

The loss of access to the Subway® on-line account remains a mystery. The error message had actually advised the submission of a customer service request. Bullshit! The password reset workaround was actually devised when a similar situation occurred with the Chase® account (as previously detailed in Notes). In any case, patronizing Subway® must be reevaluated.

The next iteration of the AirPods Pro and Watch will most likely be passed, but not because of the miserly ways. The AirPods Pro 2 is rarely deployed, so it’s still like new. The Watch Series 9 will only run through 86 full charge cycles by the end of the year, so its battery will be good for another year. The next Watch iteration will not likely bring any new desirable features. The iPhone 15 Pro may not be traded in later this year as well. In six months, it has only gone through 84 full charge cycles and battery health is still at 99 percent.

Incidentally, the most accurate health metric tracked by the Watch Series 9 is heart rate. EKG is the equivalent of only a one-lead measurement. Sleep, respiratory, and HRV metrics are derived through complex algorithms. Obviously, none of those health metrics can be directly measured at the wrist. So, that data should not be considered conclusive, just “ballpark” approximations.

1 K’an 7 Wo’

Well, what is there to discuss? Not much. A query was submitted on-line through the Subway® contact portal concerning the blacklisting of the credit card. A reply was received by e-mail with several questions. The response was dispatched on Monday. Nada. The response was submitted again on Thursday. Nada. Great customer service, eh? Incidentally, ordering in the store is a “pain in the ass.”

Evening outings have resumed, albeit sporadically. Two brief outings to the International Marketplace ensued this week. This afternoon, a special outing to Ala Moana Center was in order. Dinner was courtesy Lahaina Chicken. Prime rib, of course. Much, much better than an overpriced Subway® sandwich. And, a visit to Target® followed. A four-pack of blueberry muffins and a banana were procured for no particular reason.

The trusty Watch Series 9 continues to track relevant health metrics. So far, no health issues are apparent aside from chronic insomnia. Stress and HRV appear to have a correlation. Normally, HRV decreases steadily throughout the day. In this case, HRV has been fluctuating between high and low points all day.

On a side note, the “garden variety” Fascists have apparently been forced to expose their true intentions. With the “West” losing the proxy war in Ukraine and puppet Zionists facing defeat by the “Axis of Resistance,” the Fascists have moved toward totalitarianism. Protests against the Gaza democide have been met with Gestapo-like ruthlessness.

Then, there is the matter of the TikTok ban in empire, now signed into law by “Joe Headroom.” Strange, eh? Remember all of the “dancing nurses” videos during the “super-duper corona” plan-demic? That bullshit was okay since it supported the “COVID” narrative. Now, there are myriad pro-Palestine content on the site. Oh, we can’t have that, can we?

The “garden variety” Fascists are clearly aligned and supportive of their Zionist and Banderan Nazi puppets. Hence, the philosophical construct of the Fascist regime shares the same nefarious beliefs as the latter’s puppets. Moreover, the only logical conclusion is that Zionism and Banderan Nazism originated with the Fascists themselves.

Addendum: The Subway® account was assumed to be closed upon discovery that access was denied. However, a password reset was initiated and account access was restored. Very strange.

Face Mask Faggotry

No Explanation Necessary

The face mask mandate ended on March 20th. The face mask mandate for public transportation ended on April 20th. Two years ago. Yet, today, two years later, about 15% of the local population is still wearing face masks full-time. An undisclosed number of morons are wearing face masks in enclosed areas only. Spooky, very spooky.

Notes has provided a detailed chronicle of the entire “super-duper corona” plan-demic. Most of the rank-and-file peons have seemingly forgotten the ordeal perpetrated by the “garden variety” Fascists and their puppets. Notes, of course, waives any liability if readers of the latter chronicles erupt in homicidal rampages as a result.

Yesterday was an extremely aggravating day. One debacle after another. On-line ordering for Subway® ground to a halt when the one-and-only credit card was evidently blocked by the latter for no apparent reason. Ordering must now be done in-person at the store. Yeah, the credit card is accepted there, even though it goes through the same Subway® payment portal. Customer service at Panda Express® on King Street was unbelievably bad. Then, the Watch Series 9 was mistakenly taken into the shower at the gym. Many more pathetic incidents abounded. Sheesh!

Here’s an interesting e-mail that was received today from an anonymous faggot (most likely wearing a face mask):

Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your iCloud mail. I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisеly.

Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners. It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I’m getting at.

[Blah, blah, blah … as the fudgepacking fool bends over and inserts his puny Vienna Sausage in his mouth]

I’ve recorded many videos of you jerking off to highly controversial рorn videos. Given that the “questionable” genre is almost always the same, I can conclude that you have sick реrvеrsiоn.

[Blah, blah, blah … as the faggot moves his right hand up and down on his tiny flaccid “member”]

Good luck, my perverted friend. I hope this is the last time we hear from each other. And some friendly advice: from now on, don’t be so careless about your online security.

The e-mail was actually sent from icIoud.com (obviously spoofed with a capital “i” in place of  lowercase “l”), so it wasn’t sent from the actual account. Here is the header data:

In addition, there are absolutely zero contacts in the iPhone address book. There are no personal accounts on any social media. And, Pegasus cannot be uninstalled remotely by the fudgepacker. So, go ahead, faggot … “rub one out” and publish those (alleged) videos. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

There were more tidbits to comment on, but fuck it! The only way that empire and the collective “West” can be saved is by “flushing it down the toilet.” Thermonuclear war, whatever it takes, there’s just no other path to redemption. “Western society” is too far gone.

Mangy Mutt

“Fido”

Sleep deprivation has achieved a new dimension with the addition of yet another source of noise … a mangy mutt. “Fido” commenced yelping at 2am every morning for the past three weeks.

Attempts have been made to triangulate the point of origin with no success so far. “Fido” appears to reside in one of the condominium units adjacent to the “old folks home” in Waikiki. The assholic owner apparently puts the mangy pooch out on the balcony at night.

Wringing Neck of Assholic “Fido” Owner

At first, “Fido” was assumed to be residing in one of the units at the “old folks home.” However, the sound of the barks would be somewhat muffled, even with the windows wide open. The “old folks home” has neither lanais of balconies. The mangy mutt’s yelping is too loud and too clear to originate from inside a mausoleum. The only way to cease the ruckus is to wring its little neck (and that of the assholic owner as well).

The cheap earplugs that were purchased a while back are ineffective. They do not fit properly in the large ear canals of the oversized cranium. Another shopping trip to Ala Moana Center is in order. Various other types of earplugs will be purchased. There was some thought of deploying the AirPods Pro 2 for that purpose. However, the ludicrous idea was quickly mummified.

Addendum: A potential on-line order for Flents® Quiet Please! earplugs (no longer available in Hawai’i) was mummified upon perusing a few of the customer reviews. Apparently, the type of foam in the earplugs is now substandard.

Miscellany: The Zionists launched a mini-attack on Iran with drones (most likely launched inside Iran by Zionist proxies). No secular Apocalypse yet, thank Molech!

True Promise

Shahed-136 Drones

Iran launched its retaliatory strike, “Operation True Promise,” on Israel today, nearly two weeks after the latter destroyed the Iranian consulate (next to the embassy) in Damascus, Syria and martyred several high-ranking military officials. News accounts from the Zionists and the “West” significantly differ from what has been disseminated from Iran. Notes regards the Iranian assessment to be the most accurate (PressTV version).

The retaliatory strike was quite measured. Iran deployed its slowest drones and missiles, although rumors are circulating that a few hypersonic missiles were thrown in for effect. Consequently, Iran then declared that the situation was concluded. No escalation is necessary. 

Effectively, Iran has “passed the baton” back to the Zionists. Quite clever, actually. Now, the Zionists must decide whether to launch a full-scale attack on Iran. If they do, Iran has promised to unleash an even harsher response. So, the world awaits.

Addendum: Sputnik News has provided insights on drones and missiles in the Iranian arsenal. Iran’s military capabilities are quite advanced.

Miscellany: The IRGC of Iran essentially mocked the “West” by naming the retaliatory strike, “Operation True Promise.” Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

Fuck It Friday - 18

Fuck It Friday (FIF)! Sporadic news and commentary of no interest to anyone ... FIF! The modified personal financial policy is the primary focus of this edition. Yes, this is Fuck It Friday!

Tuesday was sunny and warm, with the late afternoon being quite nice. So, on an impulse, a quick jaunt to Ala Moana Center ensued. A prime rib dinner, courtesy Lahaina Chicken, was in order. The last visit to the establishment was over four months ago. Dinner was superb. Then, shopping at Target® followed to exploit Circle Week deals on favorite food products. Fuck it!

Surprisingly, Wednesday was sunny and warm as well. Dinner was courtesy Panda Express® on King Street. Upon return to the “old folks home” Waikiki, another impulse decision was made to sashay over to Ala Moana Center again. The highlight, of course, was the purchase and consumption of a banana and a pint of Häagen-Dazs® ice cream for dessert from Target®. Fuck it!

The funds for empire and Hawai’i estimated taxes completed transfer to the local bank on Wednesday. Tax for empire was dispatched on Thursday. For Hawai’i, next Thursday is the target date. So, there goes another $2,240 into the ether. The miserly ways? On a death spiral (no pun intended). Fuck it!

The new personal finance policy? No “gnashing of teeth” about expenditures. Certainly, all discounts and loyalty rewards will continue to be exploited to the fullest. However, there will no longer be a hidden monthly expense ceiling. Inflation and “shrinkflation” are out of control. Expenses are going to keep increasing no matter what, so a static ceiling makes no sense. In addition, the artificial “savings” threshold for investment accounts has been abolished for the same reason. Fuck it!

The sunny and warm weather ended on Thursday. So, the Spring season is yet to arrive. The sky was overcast all day with high humidity indicative of rain. So, no evening outing was planned. Fuck it!

The rain finally arrived this morning. The annoying precipitation dissipated by noon. Thus, an evening outing to Ala Moana Center ensued for yet another Target® adventure. The need to force the outings upon self is imperative. These are the “twilight years” and sequestration in the tomb (read: mausoleum) is unacceptable. Fuck it!

Anatomy of Insomnia

Watch Series 9 Sleep Data

The battery in the cheap smoke detector in the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki “conked out” at 1:44am. The adrenaline rush from the chirping and the subsequent procedure to disable the “piece of shit” resulted in the inability to return to sleep. Well, an attempt at sleep was made subsequent to the incident. However, after 45 minutes of insomnia, the only choice was to get up and sit in the beloved chair (refer to Watch Series 9 data).

About 2.5 hours were spent sitting in the beloved chair. Then, another attempt at sleep was made. Light sleep ensued until around 6am when the garbage truck bullshit commenced. The noise (OSHA reverse alarm beeping) was near continuous until 7am. Even with the windows closed, the racket registered 68dB on the Watch.

“Piece of Shit”

The culprit was identified as a cheap Ray-O-Vac® High Energy (read: non-alkaline) battery replaced by the maintenance crew. The smoke detector will now remain disabled forever.

Of course, today ended up being warm and sunny. The routine was the same ol’ shit even amidst the grogginess. Unfortunately, by late afternoon, the weather changed for the worst. So, no evening outing.

Papaya

Papaya

Anxiety, most likely death anxiety, continues unabated. All the while, people are dying needlessly around the planet, thanks to the “garden variety” Fascists and their puppets. The victims did not have the luxury of experiencing prolonged death anxiety. Oh, the irony!

The Spring season has yet to arrive in the islands. There may be one fairly nice day every two weeks. The rest of the days are overcast with gusty winds and drizzling precipitation. Ambient temperatures? Cold and clammy. Needless to say, there have been no evening outings anywhere. Time is spent in the mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. Too much time, actually, which only exacerbates the anxiety.

There’s not much to do in the mausoleum insofar as entertainment is concerned. Perusing the (very limited) approved Web sites consumes, maybe, an hour of time. Of course, much more time is now devoted to personal hygiene and grooming.

The Watch Series 9 continues to silently monitor health and sleep parameters. It is rarely used to check the time, by the way. Thus battery consumption is only about 26% per day. The only parameter that is scrutinized often is HRV. Stress is anecdotally correlated with HRV. So far, the data seems to corroborate the latter. However, HRV is expected to decrease through the day.

Sleep data is no longer of any importance. The data only confirms poor sleep, which is already anecdotally established. Disabling sleep monitoring does not decrease battery consumption, so no mummification required.

After much “gnashing of teeth,” the decision was made to pay the damned estimated taxes. The funds will be transferred to the local bank from investment accounts. Then, the payments will be dispatched. Empire tax return have not been processed yet. However, the empire tax penalty is estimated to be $200 or so. Fuck it, even though today is not Fuck It Friday.

Once all of these moronic tax payments are made, the miserly ways will surely be extinguished for good. Monthly expenses (not including rent for housing) now hover around $900 or so. A small increase, but that’s just the beginning. The recent increase in expenditures is due to more daily fruit purchases. Aside from Fuji apples and bananas, the papaya is becoming a new favorite.

On a side note, there has been a lot of discussion in the alternative media about thermonuclear war and illegal immigrant invasions lately, with none of them establishing a correlation between the latter and former. Notes has engaged in on-going discussions and actually made the correlation in the post titled, “Scorched Earth,” back in the 2022 year. Enjoy a delicious papaya before the “end of days.”

Fool’s Day 2024

Another Fool’s Day has come and gone sans celebration. Just know that “there’s no fool like an old fool,” as the old adage goes. The “mindfulness” experiment has been a failure, so it is now mummified. The problem, obviously, is that there’s nothing to discuss which has not already been discussed.

Yesterday, the weather was quite agreeable. So, a dinner outing to Ala Moana Center ensued. Upon arrival, the discovery that Lahaina Chicken was closed produced much internal rage. A circuitous trek ensued with the final destination being Panda Express® on King Street. Earlier in the morning, the discovery that Target® was closed caused a similar affect. Fortunately, Starbucks® was open.

The estimated tax liability for both empire and Hawai’i was calculated using averaged dividend projections for the 2024 year. The total amount comes to $2,440 or so. The decision to pay estimated taxes or wait until next year (and pay penalties) is still inconclusive. Oh, so tiresome.

There are now two versions of the Visible+ plan as of five days ago. The new version has a few more perks. However, switching over to the new version will forfeit any discounts. The current (permanent) discount for the legacy account is $10 to yield a $35 monthly rate. So, no upgrade will be made to the new version. If not for the Visible Reddit, none of the aforementioned would have been known. There has been no communication from Visible about the new version. The option doesn’t even appear anywhere in the personal on-line account.

Miscellany: Israel executed an airstrike on the Iranian consulate (next to its embassy) in Damascus, Syria. “Bibi” Netanyahu is actively seeking to ignite the entire Levant. The “garden variety” Fascists need to rein in their crazed Zionist puppets.

Addendum: Notes posts prior to the 2024 year that mention or feature videos with Robert Kennedy Jr. have been deleted. While he performed admirably during the “super-duper corona” plan-demic, his current unwavering alignment with the Zionists is unacceptable.
