WTF IS THIS? – How to write like a pro

I was looking for a draft of a post that I wrote ages ago, but I found this gem instead. I’m not sure what I was up to, but it’s too good to waste! How to write like a pro For some months I’ve been trying to get hold of a new book that a […]

The Fake Holocaust

More people are now waking up to this huge scam. According to the census of June 16, 1933, the Jewish population of Germany, including the Saar region (which at that time was still under the administration of the League of Nations), was approximately 505,000 people out of a total population of 67 million, or somewhat […]

CHECKING OUT THE COMPETITON

Although I’m committed to the Hive platform , I like to keep an eye on the competition – other sites that offer payment for posting. So occasionally I sign up on one, and have a look. But although some people say Hive sucks, I always end up thinking, “OK nothing to worry about here” Yesterday […]

TAKING A HUGE GAMBLE ON HIVE

Back in August 2016 I started out on Steemit as @sift666 because some prick had already taken the name @sift so I added 666 on the end hoping to sound all heavy and satanic, but it was like arriving first at a party and having nobody to talk to, and then being asked to go […]

THIS NEW CRYPTO EXCHANGE IS BRILLIANT

WHY ON EARTH AM I USING FOUR HIVE ACCOUNTS?

It’s becoming more common for people to openly use multiple accounts now, especially with new front ends like Leofinance. But back in Steemian times it was a dark secret, and while it was common practice, they were not often spoken of. There was so much flagging and shady voting going on, that multiple secret accounts […]

WHAT SORT OF GIMP ARE YOU?

Some gimps like to lurk in the basement wearing leather masks and rubber bondage suits. It used to be considered a deranged perversion to wear a mask, but now it is “the new normal” Meanwhile for a lot of geeky people, gimp just means “graphical image manipulation program” Personally I am into doing computer art […]
