Hello Sunday Morning - The Ultimate Bullshit Trip into Sobriety.
In essence the Hello Sunday Morning thing, is good and worthwile..
https://www.hellosundaymorning.org/
With goals to aim for like health, relationships, financial stability, etc., etc., etc.
And in a WHOLE LIFE kind of a way, instead of the "Lots of old men coughing up phlegm", and "Lots of old bags, sucking on fags" Alcoholics Anonymous religious proltysing bullshit.....
"You cannot get sober unless you do it OUR way, as there is NO OTHER way, and ONLY god can relieve the obession to drink - and if you don't do it totally OUR WAY - you will surely die" - just fucking crap.
I have fucked up many a belligerent AA member and meeting, where the mentally defective puff away on the fags, poisoning EVERYONE ELSE'S AIR, by raising the issues of the smoking with the people who lease the rooms to the fuckwits of AA, who say, "Thanks to god and Alcoholics Anonymous, I have been sober for X years", while huffing and puffing on cancer sticks, inhaling the insecticide.
"Oh I am sober today, god has restored me to sanity" - and the air is just THICK with cigarette smoke....
While you walk out at the end of the meeting, smelling like a wino's arsehole, that's been in a bushfire.
Mmmmm restored to sanity?
Guzzling coffee and smoking insecticide sticks?
No one exercises, no one eats healthy, they just do "Meetings, meetings, meetings."
Sure - I'll buy the restored to sanity bullshit, like I will the AA propoganda - that it's about drinking, not smoking, when the co-founder killed himself by smoking and emphasymeia, and even wrote a chapter in the AA basic text about some guy who's wife picked on him for smoking so he relapsed and she had to consign her self to the ONLY option of either she puts up with his smoking and going to AA, or she puts up with him being a drunken fuck of an emotional retard.
BUT
I am one of these people who just hates automated NON genuine computer generated "warm and fuzzies" that don't mean shit.
Kind of like recorded phone messages that say, "Hi we are so happy that you have called us and we think this is so special..." Press button 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
With loads and loads of "Please"s and "Thankyou"s.... which to me are just more and more and more time wasting shit...
"Thank you for pressing button number 3, we feel so lucky to have you as a customer. Your call to use is now getting transferred to the Dept of Bum Fucking, and we hope you have a nice day."
"While your on hold did you know that as a lucky customer we value your valuable feedback. Please stay on the line after call is over..."
You know the ingratiating fake empathy and the phoney thrill to chat with you bullshit, from the robot answering machine?
Well I gave the HSM site a go.
And there was a lot of good stuff on there, except for the "You have 5 points for logging in today." type bullshit.
And the incessant, "You have unlocked a Finger your Dick Badge" for writing an entry...
And incessant notifications in my message inbox and in the mail etc., etc., etc.
You get notified when a person comments on your writing, you get notified when you unlock a badge, you get notified about this or that or 25 other different things....
Arrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
So between the machine generated FAKE empathy points and "badges" that YOU unlock, or the machine is coded to say you have unlocked it, at predetermined points, of useage...
Like logging in for 3 days or Sundays in a row... You get the "You have unlocked the Sunny Side Up badge"...
And are notified of it in the HSM inbox, via email and via pop up messages.
You know... it's like having a retard for a kindergarten teacher who "just adores you" and gives you a gold star for getting a question right, and another gold star for drinking all your milk, and another gold star for playing in the sand pit....
And I figured that I could quite easily live without FAKE machine generated "love and fuzzies" - that have as much adoration factor as Fly By points at the check out in the grocery store.
"To show you how much we appreciate you coming into the store today, we are awarding you ONE free love flyby point." and yet a $20 electric kettle takes 2500 points to get...
But for every $5000 in groceries you spend, we give you enough fly by points to get the kettle that is worth $3.50 wholesale.
You know the FAKEness of it all.
I can live without it.
And one of the things that particulary annoy me, about the issue of STRANGER DANGER and the nasty pedophiles down the park type shit, when 95% off the time, it's num or dad doing it at home - is the topic of grooming children.
People groom / warm fuzzy feelings manipulate each other all the time.
And I hate it when a computer coded by an arsehole, designates at predetermined points, to award you black marks on the white screen, saying that "Your life is worthwhile", when it's just code.
So I protested much about the insincerity, and the issues of people on the site, having greater standing than the others, where one person might log in daily and have 50,000 merit points and badges, and be a complete simpleton cunt, and another who might have logged in 10 times in 6 months, and can outsmart the lot of them.
There are NO checks and balances in a clubby clubby system based upon FAKE machine generated points being attached to ones user name.
So I stuck it right up them, they got upset, I told them that I really didn't give a fuck - as I have my own endorsement and I do not need your bullshit points and badges system, and they closed my account.
LOL
I can quite happily live without the Mouse-ka-teer bullshit.
But 3 weeks after closing my account on me, they sent me this message in an email....

Oh how perfect - for the desperate approval seeing acolytes stuck in the social media crap trap.
"Wow - for donating to the cause you can get a HERO badge stuck to your user name - Ohhh so totally fucking awesome."
I mean I can dig the issue of paying and sharing and self supporting - the website and it's costs.
And I will admit that the social media aspects grate like gravel rash on the face, with Facebook, Twitter, Google +, etc., etc., etc.. all stuck into my online life as a piss pot who is trying to change one's ways...
But the credibility points that get stuck to your user name? Why do you need them and why is there an option to NOT have to have them?
It's the peer group pressure - for the weak minded status conscious.
Why can't you donate, without being labled with all the FAKE specialness?
It's as fake an endorsement of your worth, as the robot answering machine is at being pleased to take your call, while it redirects you through 25 button presses - instead of a fucking person.

After doing all I could to tip this wagon of narcisitic bullshit on it's head, AND doing all I could to get thrown off the site, because I would not put up with the fakeness and the Facebook style "social media circumcision" of my basic intelligence, I sent the retards an email telling them that it would be so good to donate to this cause but my account didn't seem to be working when I tried to log in...
LOL
I wait with bated breath (snigger) to see what they do about this one....
(probably nothing)
You must be a sober guy
