WITH ALL THE ANGER OF A JILTED EX LOVER

FROT November 22, 2019

I BUGGERED OFF FOR THREE MONTHS On my third birthday back in August I celebrated by totally quiting all use of Steemit. I was pretty pissed off about having all my illusions totally shattered. Back in 2016 I was writing posts about Steemit being the future of the internet, making friends, making money, and doing […]

THREE YEARS AGO I DID A STEEMIT POST SAYING DITCH THE FLAGGING

FROT August 30, 2019

THREE YEARS AGO I DID A STEEMIT POST SAYING DITCH THE FLAGGING And I was right wasn’t I? – flagging is one of the main things that has screwed the platform. Now a bunch of geek numpties are running around flagging stuff and nearly all the people posting real content have left. And if there […]

FOOLS GOLD

FROT August 12, 2019

Unless you are clutching real gold in your hot sweaty hands, you probably don’t actually have any Most of the gold that is being traded in the world doesn’t really exist, and pretending to have gold is a sort of national sport for counties like America where there is a vault called Fort Knox that […]

HOW I MADE TWELVE AND A HALF GRAND FOR A BLOG POST

FROT July 19, 2019

GET RICH BY BLOGGING! Back in 2016, in the early days of the blogging platform Steemit – when it still looked like an awesome new blogging platform rather than a massive Ponzi scheme – certain key accounts were flinging money about in an apparent effort to bring in new users. One of my first posts […]

WHAT I WANT FOR MY THIRD BIRTHDAY

FROT July 16, 2019

So long and thanks for all the steem Now I know I said I was going to quit whining about the demise of Steemit, but here is one last post about Steemit… Although I’m not really using the platform any more I still end up regularly seeing it – For starters I still have to […]

HEADING DOWN SOUTH

FROT July 4, 2019

ON THE FERRY TO PICTON The first step to going down South (I’m talking about New Zealand here, so “south” doesn’t mean Mexico!) is to catch the ferry across the Cook Straight to Picton. It can be rough on a bad day, and being Wellington, the weather is pretty unpredictable. The weather was forecast to […]

Let’s all be PAL’s

FROT July 1, 2019

I’m not really me anymore, but is anyone online real anyway? It’s been about 10 months since I mostly stopped posting on Steemit as @sift666 and swapped over to @frot And then not long after I began powering down all four of my Steemit accounts because I think the platform is corrupt to the core […]

HUMOUR HAS BEEN BANNED ONLINE

FROT June 30, 2019

Despite the fact that all laughter has been declared offensive, I still like to have a bit of a chuckle – and it also goes really well with hoovering down some prime sticky bud. The fact that it helps ward off libtards as an added bonus. FROT WEBSITE http://www.frot.co.nz FROT BLOG https://www.frot.co.nz/design/blog PALNET FROT https://www.palnet.io/@frot STEEMIT FROT […]

WE WERE ALL BEATEN DOWN TO A SORRY FLOCK OF INOFFENSIVE MUNTERS

FROT June 28, 2019

WE WERE ALL BEATEN DOWN TO A SORRY FLOCK OF INOFFENSIVE MUNTERS I’m not sure how it happened, but in a gradual way, sort of like becoming fat, lazy, or conservative, in my three years on Steemit, I became a boring old fart. Back in the 90’s I had lots of friends who were mad […]

BADCOCK BEATS A WOMAN TO DEATH WITH A STICK

FROT June 26, 2019

Down at our local art gallery, John Badcock is having an exhibition. He is a photo realist, and his lead painting is of a naked man beating a woman with a stick. I carefully added some Toyota HiAce van reflection to give my photo of his painting some social context. And then I let rip […]
