Wikipedia Bias, full of misleading LIES

Filed under: Uncategorized — mikedillin @ 12:49 pm
I have been studying Shiva for only a few weeks. I listen to his words, make up my own mind.
I was listening to an interview from 6 years ago done by Deepak Choppra ( https://youtu.be/KtLQTae0mKk ) today,
learning about his mom etc. Very interesting what he did at 14 years old and how he thinks. His self promotion is interesting too.
Doers are targets. Are they fairly targeted from right to left?
I have been listening to Stefan Molyneux ( Stefan Molyneux youtube ) and have a good idea about him. I have even listened to 5-20 hours of anti-Stefan people tearing him down finding anything they can do to slander him, all the while not bringing anything to the table in terms of philosophical solutions to society’s modern day problem. all they do is rant on I think they do it solely for views.
Stefans wiki page is an abomination I am aware of it because Stefan speaks about it .
When I read his wiki page and realize it’s mostly lies and misleading slander, quotes from what are accepted by MSM as “trusted sources” that’s anybody that is in the mainstream media. So the New York times the Wall Street Journal People magazine ABC, these are wet are considered “trusted sources” so if a slanderous article or a misleading article that’s misquoted or takes quotes used out of context is published Dirk Digglersby “trusted source” then it will be entered and accepted as fact in Wikipedia. This is an egregious wrong!
If you don’t understand that, then you are at risk of being misguided into believing everything that you read in Wikipedia.
When I read Wikipedia entries, I am reading it with a new pair glasses, not everything we read in Wikipedia is accurate, or at least the perception of what they are publishing on Wikipedia may be extremely flawed or 100% opposite of the facts.
here is my tweet
***********************************
is it just me or does it seem that @Wikipedia has been really inaccurate
biased against libertarians & conservatives eg: @StefanMolyneux @va_shiva
Or are liberals feeling the same bias, doubt it eg:
****************************************
I’ll read the wiki creation on Shiva this should be interesting and entertaining as well
oh and BTW here are facts about Dr Shive you prolly did not see on wiki.
Yep read it, wikipedia is a slander hit piece again.
Maybe thinking about it differently might be interesting.
Imagine if I did Wikipedia about myself, what I would write and what things I would talk about.
Then imagine if other people decided to edit my Wikipedia entry and imagine the things they might say.
(I could only imagine LOL)
Imagine yourself what a great person you are, what a great worker or home maker and what a great friend, how if you decided to be a doer in the public sphere and write about yourself, your accomplishments, your great things.
Now imagine what others would say… maybe that’s the best way to
sum up the personal pages of wikipedias.
Easy target for extremely biased political slander.

The battery lasts 12 to 14 hours of heavy to regular use.
“OK Google” works very well.
And the screen is fantastic!
Calera is the best yet;-)

Great new book by my friend Leslie Ann Keatley

Filed under: Uncategorized — mikedillin @ 11:28 am

“The Sea Wall” get it now tell me what you think of it.

Welcome to Moss Ridge, California, where the weather is pleasant, the houses are huge, and the Cheerleaders rule the local high school. Caroline, their leader, is what you’d call a bully. And Audrey Kelly is her prey.

It’s been that way since middle school. Now, in their junior year, Audrey’s reached her breaking point. After all the torment, she’s ready for some payback, and with the help of her friends she wages war on Caroline, ruining her car, her clothes, and her reputation, and taking down the rest of the Cheerleaders in the process.

But soon Audrey’s so-called harmless pranks get out of hand, and tragedy ensues. Suddenly, revenge does not taste so sweet. Wracked with guilt, she flees to Mississippi, where no one knows her and she can start life over. There she finds a new home and a new love. And, when a massive hurricane hits that threatens to take it all away, she also finds an inner strength she never knew she had.

Google Nexus S 4g

Filed under: Uncategorized — mikedillin @ 4:13 pm

What I would like Google Android to make better…
Contacts search by any word in company name.
Example: I have several “cafe” entries. I would like the search function to show me ALL entry’s with the word “cafe” when I type it in to the contacts search field. Saugus Cafe will not show up unless I first spell Saugus, then Cafe.
My EVO was better… and my blackberry was best. On my bb if I typed “sa ca” ant entry with the first 2 letters sa and ca would show up in search. Android does not search contacts as well as my previous 12  blackberry for the last eight years.

Well word press wants $ from me to post a video, so I will post a link later that will take you to YouTube for free..

Lots to talk about…

Filed under: Uncategorized — mikedillin @ 11:17 pm

I have not posted in a long time, I was thinking about what is going on in my life and thought I “should let it out” for those interested.

To catch up… I finished up work in Portland on the TV show “Leverage”. It was a good run from February to August. I had a lot of fun and did a lot of hard work with some great people. I looked for houses and made an offer on one that eventually was accepted after some negotiating. It only fell apart after the home inspection and septic inspection came back with $9300 in repairs. The owner wouldnt make a conssesion so I backed out. The house is STILL on the market 6 months later and dropped in value.?.?.

Shortly after coming back from Portland I went on to weekend trips one to Palm Springs and one to Key West Florida. Glad I did because as soon as I came back I got a call to work on Tra******ers 3 . Packed a bag and flew to Detroit Michigan for 2 days then drove to Cape Canaveral Florida.

We got to get up close and personal with the space shuttle it was a real impressive place to work for 5 days.

 

 

Spent a few hours in the sun on the beach on one of my 2 days off in a 25 day run of work. After Florida we drove to Washington D.C. I have never spent 5 days in DC and it was amazing how much money, OUR TAX MONEY is spent on huge buildings with office after office of people shuffling papers to shuffle papers. Huge old looking buildings over 5 stories high looking they were built in the 1800’s. I asked one of the workers how old these buildings were, he pointed at one and said that one was built in 1996 and then pointed to another and said it was built 2 years ago… LOTS of $ spent on fine architecture and making buildings out of stone look like the real deal old thing. Enough I could go on a rant… enough!

After the 5 day drive home from DC I was relaxed and looking forward to visiting my grandma and grandpa. Grandpa did not do too well in the hospital. He went in for gallstones and a gallbladder infection, he got pneumonia, went to ICU went out ICU, got better got worse and died in the hospital on November 2.

Very sad he is gone. Grandma is very sad, I cant imagine how sad because they were married 68 years. Got to take her to visit him in the morning on the day he passed and a couple times the week leading up to the second. I am sure he is in a better place and feel he is looking down on me writing this right now:) Larry Dillin worked and lived for 91 years, raised 3 sons, picked up my mom and me when I was born, volunteered several days a week up until about 6 months ago, drove around town, always had dinner with my grandma and to my knowledge breakfast and lunch too. He was a great example and I will miss him.

Took a plane to see Margee, Taz and the “Angles” figured I had better take the time NOW cause I dont know when work or vacation will call and I want to take time to watch them grow. I worked until the day I left and will start back the day after I get back. I am very lucky to have some great guys that keep me working and out of the poor house. When the plane landed in SLC I got a call from a neighbor friend that her dad died, she said he always liked me and that I should know… oh boy tears again. He was a nice guy and I used to like to take 5 to 10 minutes even when I “didn’t have the time” to talk with him if he was outside when I was coming or going. Hope to be able to go to his funeral friday then my grandpas on the weekend. I guess as I get older more and more people I know will die and more and more, then at some point it should tapper off due to the fact i will know fewer and fewre people then it will be my turn… at 130 that is the age I am going to die!

Been selling stuff on craigslist trying to live a smaller life.. I want to get down to 4 suitcases so that I can be more mobile.

Those Chinese are great!

Filed under: Uncategorized — mikedillin @ 1:16 am

I went shopping at Home Depot and found a shelf up high with twin packs of no name 9 LED flash lights. $5.00 (after Fathers Day closeout) a pair so I bought some. They claim NOT to be water proof… but I just dropped one in to my fish tank 24″ deep and wouldn’t you know I was wearing long sleeve button shirt so 30 seconds later I took the light out and wrapped it in a towel and went to try and rescue it…
It works fine! Just a couple of drops of water got in to the head but battery compartment was fine switch too.
It’s nice when something works BETTER than it claims to.

LAX to Portland

Filed under: Uncategorized — mikedillin @ 5:24 pm

Had a great trip! Got a lot done and made me miss home. I woke up early @ 6am Saturday morning to take my clothes to my favorite cleaners. Dely @ Classy Cleaners answered the phone Friday afternoon and I asked her if I brought a suitcase full of laundry from Portland early Saturday morning could she have it done by 5pm. She said they don’t do fluff and fold on saturday but bring it in anyway and she would do it for me! What a lady;) after I dropped the clothes I was off to the carwash. Waited 20 minutes for them to open…
Plane is boarding gotta GO!
