Exactly what I’d expect from our unbiased media.
You expect them to be accurate?
Inn case not clear, agreeing it was a “grievance filled victory lap”.
It certainly was, but of all the neutral phrases an unbiased reporter could use to describe the press conference, “grievance filled victory lap” doesn’t make the list.
Maybe, but in the scheme of unfair, biased TDS they have used since the escalator, if (repeat: if) they keep doing ones like this, it would be valid grounds for complimenting the media for their improvement.

Make sure you get all of them, ok? Saddest raccoons Ive ever seen was a dead momma & several juveniles (hit by a car) and one or two living juveniles trying to figure out why the rest weren’t moving.
I ain’t heartless, but that many critters on my porch (video) would have me mighty nervous and loading up the shotgun.
A couple of months ago, I saw some movement or the dog barked out the living room window. There was a handful of raccoons bedding down in the mulch underneath. Dog went crazy of course, while I double checked that the garage door was shut. They moved on back to the woods and that was the last I saw of them.
My son had them in his Austin attic, they were going up/down in a vent pipe. I told him to wait ’til night, plug the vent, Seemed to work.
We had raccoons in our attic. Critter dude came out, made sure they were gone, and patched up the hole.
When I was a kid, a neighbor had raccoons getting into the chicken coop. So, he went looking with a shot gun and found some juveniles. He said they put their paws over their eyes and he just couldn’t shoot them. He reinforced the coop instead.
These tales are too sad.

“Trump blurts out expletive during 1st formal remarks after impeachment acquittal.”
https://www.yahoo.com/gma/trump-blurts-expletive-during-1st-172752917.html
Fake news. President Donald J. Trump used an eight letter word for a US undergraduate degree. As he self-identifies as a Christian, then “in vain” twice counts. And the name of an afterlife from said Christianity nine times not in reference to that alleged place. That would be twelve expletives.
Transcript: https://www.vox.com/2020/2/6/21126544/trump-speech-today-transcript-impeachment
Who gives a damn?
“Frankly…?”
BULLSHIT!
is what he said, WTF are you about?
Deja vu post.
That’s what I thought.
The less powerful the government, the more moral the people have to be in order to have a good society. The more powerful the government, the more moral the bureaucrats, dictators, monarchs, politicians, and so have to be in order to have a good society. The ‘mainstream’ media is redefining “expletive”. cf. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, 1993, “defining deviancy down”.
You are missing the point about redefinig “expletive”. President Donald J. Trump using expletives is a different matter. The part about him being Christian enters into it regarding what counts as an expletive.
But if you insist on getting into whether or not he should have been using expletives, at least he had the release of his burden as a justification (whether you think Christianity allows that as a valid reason). Whereas many on this site let fly with them casually on a daily basis.
Wait, I have a genuine question: are you saying that swearing/cursing is immoral? If so, on what basis? Genuinely curious because I have certainly “found God” (I’ll leave that undefined for the moment and allow you to color those lines in) but I still swear fairly liberally.
I am thus immoral? Or just a hypocrite?
Serious questions – I’m not being snarky, I’m just trying to understand your position.
Not to jump in, but I will anyway.
I am by no means a theologian, but I always thought it was “Don’t take the lords name in vain” So certainly “Goddamn” is right out, but you can use all manner of other swear words.
Like, is their actual Biblical basis for not using, say, bastard or son of a bitch or even fucking?
Whenever people say that I am reminded of a very funny bit on “All in the Family” where Archie says “goddamn” and Edith nearly strokes out, telling Archie he shouldn’t “take the Lord’s name in vain” and Archie goes on a mini-rant about how it’s right out of the Bible, there are multiple places where, according to Archie, “God damns” bad people. It’s pretty funny.
I’m still not sure that the “translation” of taking the Lord’s name in vain = swearing/expletives
I think it could be understood very differently, which is to say using God’s name in the way that Romney did in his note to the other Senators. For me that is a lot closer to “taking the Lord’s name in vain” than yelling “Shit!” or “Fuck” after you smash your thumb with a hammer. I’m not seeing how that has anything to do with the Lord’s name at all.
Not counting all expletives as “in vain”. Counting the two “in vain”(s) as expletives because he self-identifies as Christian.
Or are you saying that those two were not “in vain”?
I’m saying that it’s not clear at all that the verse means what you’re saying it does.
I’m simply going to throw out Matthew 5:22, and then step back.
Where was he?
Whether or not it is immoral under whichever way you “found” sounds like a question you should bring up with whoever is doing the sermons at the service you attend.
The ‘media story in the URL assumes that one of the expletives is the latest excuse for ‘Bad Trump!’. The above point does assume that redefining what counts as ‘expletive’ is bad.
Besides, religion aside, if you use expletives casually, what are you going to use under extremis?
“what are you going to use under extremis?”
Bullets.
Not all faiths are hierarchical. In many such questions are to be resolved by prayer, reading scripture and consulting your conscience. You seem to take great care avoiding even using epithets when quoting someone, and it apparently is a significant thing for you. I think this comes across to some people (including me up until now when I started to believe you simply do not curse) as being cute and trying to catch people out in ‘sin’. I can respect careful speech. There are a couple of posters here who seem very careful in their speech who I hold in high regard. I am less fond of the attempts to police, or being charitable to encourage people to self police, other’s speech.
As I have pointed out I am agnostic, but sympathetic to, and probably in search of, faith.( I probably point this out too often but it is a quirk of mine that I find it very wrong to allow people to believe I share their faith. It seems like claiming an honor I do not merit) I will certainly not think less of you if you avow whatever faith you hold, but if you are just trying to catch people who claim faith out in sin, that is a foolish game. No faith expects perfection. What is required of believers varies, but in every case that I am familiar with the requirements are to strive toward a goal, not to have reached that goal.
Yes, not all of them them are. But “found” is very little data and got impression that inquiring for more specific would be unwelcome. Many do have someone doing a sermon at a service. If you have what you consider a better answer to Ozymandias’ post, then why not post said hypothetical answer instead of criticizing the one provided?
If you think my post was criticizing your answer to Ozy for inaccuracy I may have been unclear. Ozy was asking you directly the same question I was asking you indirectly. What are your thoughts? Are you just poking people or are you deeply religious and bothered by what you see as people blaspheming? I was expressing my willingness to recategorize you mentally from troll, which I had taken you as, to sincere person bothered by casual profanity. I am well aware that I am judgmental but I do try to modify judgments that are inaccurate.
Not to be flippant, but have you ever been truly ‘in extremis?’ I have. A bunch of times. What comes out of one’s mouth in those moments is of little import.
Psychologically, ignoring religion, not being mute can be helpful to move headspace from reacting to being competent at doing what needs to be done.
I really wish, as a show of flippant snark, I could find a clip of the ‘birthday party’ scene from The Nice Guys.
Not that I agree with the sentiment, but, it’s what I do around here.
You really have a hard-on for religious people cursing, don’t you?

Well, it was produced in Hollywood, so maybe (((they))) added that ?
If you skip over the Iraq war season, it works a lot better.
I’m just confused as to why anyone would be surprised or outraged that Trump only pays Christianity the thinnest of lip-service. Of course he’s not a Christian. He might feel a vague cultural affinity for the society it created, but I’d be shocked if he spends more than an idle thought a day on the condition of his soul.
A lot of people are cultural Christians. If you asked “Are you a Christian?” they’d say yes without a second thought and then go about their day without thinking about that, either.
Oh, I know. I just chuckle at the attempts to point out that he doesn’t take it seriously. This is not news. It’s like screaming “The Sky Is Blue!”.
I always laugh heartily when he plays the God card and I’m an atheist. C’mon Donny, “You Lie!”
He knows who his base is.
The Dems do it too. It’s kind of a job requirement.
20 years ago and yeah the dems knew their base. Today I don’t think they can differentiate their base from the twitter activist noise.
Two words sums it all up….
“Two Corinthians”
At church, every time we have a verse from that book, I say “Two Corinthians”. And my buddies all laugh… every time.
This is the difference between left and right. When I was a kid, they said the conservatives had no sense of humor. Well, I’m grown up now…. and there are plenty of funny people who identify as lefties… .but there are no funny lefty humorists. They can’t take a political joke about their own side.
Two Corinthians is funny. But so are Obama’s mom jeans.
I gotta admit, cyto–I’m not getting it. Is it a riff on people who have no knowledge of Biblical texts trying to say the name of the book?
IIRC, then-candidate Donald J. Trump said “Two Corinthians” at Liberty University.
Trump tried to be a pretend Christian back during the campaign. He pulled out his “favorite bible verse”…..
From Two Corinthians.
So…. Funny!
You say “Two Corinthians”, you’ve outed yourself. While trying to bolster your christian bona-fides, no less. That was funny!
It would be like pretending to be a gear-head and talking about the turbo on your electric car.
Ah! OK…so, it sorta was my scenario.
And the car link is real.
The Porche Taycan Turbo S is the new Porche all-electric automobile.
Which they call a Turbo.
As if it is 1977 and you put the word “turbo” on stuff that goes fast.
“Two Corinthians walk into a bar….”?
See…. funny, right?
Even funnier if you are churched. Because then you’d know that two Corinthians would walk into a bar and then Paul would scold them to stop all the in-fighting and be better Christians.
And then Ricardo Montalbon drives up and starts talking about his new seat covers….
That’s rich!
Can we get Swissy over here?
Whoa, there–I was a youth pastor, back in the day. If I heard that (much less said it to the youth group), I’d be like Moss here.
In regency and early Victorian England a ‘Corinthian’ was a player. Man about town who liked sport and Ladies of negotiable affection.
So….Saucy Jack?
If you insist on rehashing that, it was a misunderstanding that did not realize that you belonged to a denomination of Mormon that rejects a doctrinal point (about blasphemy, Mormons, profanity) that had URL for that you were denying was part of your religion. You were not just using an expletive in that case. You were using it to honor the Mormon deity.
My problem isn’t that you took issue with it.
My problem is that you kept after me about it across 3 threads and a gazillion comments as if you had some sort of personal investment in burning me at the stake for it.
Don’t burn anyone at the stake. The smell never comes out.
Don’t ask.
I would also appreciate not being burnt at the stake.
Disagree. Dropped one comment about it being “odd” (blaspheming/honoring), got hounded, defended.
There’s a Vonnegut book (Hocus Pocus maybe), wherein a character never curses because “…it gives anyone who doesn’t want to hear what you have to say, a perfectly valid excuse to not listen.”
I’ve always found that inspirational but personally impossible. Anecdotally, I once had a 1st Sgt. in Army whose absolute favorite word, which he would utter every 3rd or 4th word in any sentence, was “Godamnmotherfukin'”. One big run-on word which came out of his mouth so often as to be some sort of verbal tick.
I somewhat agree with that character. I am very conscious of cursing and try hard to restrict it to situations where I think it’s justified.
The movement to lessen the power of “taboo” words – which popped up frequently at TOS – always pissed me off because I thought it was so misguided & ignorant of human nature.
Fuckin A
I personally think it’s more Trumpian judo of the media. If he says
“The whole thing was nonsense” then they cover it as “Trump continued to characterize these very serious accusation as nonsense” and the story dies in a day. But their pearl clutching HE USED A POTTY WORD leads to multiple days of it in the news cycle, the meme of “this is bullshit” sinks in.
Like when he exaggerates positive economic news: “It’s a great economy, the best we’ve ever recorded ever, believe me, all the experts agree.” and the media can’t help fact checking it and talking for a ten minute segment about how ACKSHULALLY ITS ONLY THE BEST ECONOMY IN 40 YEARS. It’s not the best ever, its just better than Obamas and Bushes and Clintons but not better than Regans, so nyeah nyeah Drumpf Get Your Facts Straight.
To be clear: I’m talking in general, not about Trump’s chess moves.
It’s just a pet peeve of mine. Carry on….

Today was interesting. I got to start modeling a nearly hundred year old building based in part on plans from the 1920s. It’s an old power station. The drawings are fantastic. There are electrical switchboard diagrams in the original construction documents, as well as meticulous elevations of the molded plaster fascias and a huge wood-built cooling tower.
It’s going to be a new brewery/restaurant in what appears to be a really shitty part of LA. All the neighboring lots are fenced off.
Yet another place I’ll never go.
I had a good day too. We showed a simulation to some people and they are excited about how useful it could be. Like, “oh wow, you could test this, and you could try that. What if you base lined it this way?” It’s fun when others get excited about something you’ve designed.
One of my well liked restaurants in my area was previously a power company’s assembly factory. They kept the brick and some of the leftover power metering and conditioning equipment mounted to the wall.

The new Picard series really is sucking, isn’t it?
Which do you prefer: Picard or the adventures of she-Doctor?
OOof…
I’m watching the new series on BBC america… but dang… Somebody needs to go find them some writers. And somebody needs to explain to them that if every 3rd character who walks through the door is LGBTQAI+, it is gonna seem a bit over the top.
I thought it was over-the-top when Davies did it. Fifteen years ago.
Yeah, I can’t watch anymore – and not because of that specifically – that’s just a symptom. And it pisses me off. I’ve been a fan since the seventies.
I’m totally going on momentum. I can’t say they’ve had an enjoyable episode in the last couple of years.
If you can have Jenna Coleman and still be boring…
Mr. GT loves “classic” Who, but more often than not it would put me to sleep. I liked the revived series, but I thought it mostly peaked with Tennant. Stuck with it through Smith & Capaldi, but a couple of episodes into Chick Doctor, we checked out because it had become “Doctor Woke.”
Also – Donna Noble was the best companion ever. Fight me.
Eccleston best new-incarnation doctor.
Donna Noble hands DOWN the best companion.
What they did to her just broke my heart.
Donna Noble was the best companion ever. Fight me.
Sarah Jane Smith or GTFO.
Saddest thing from any episode I’ve ever seen.
Close second. Certainly not Rose, that bucktoothed tart.
Agree on Donna for nu-companion.
And Sarah Jane for original companion.
Nah, I didn’t care for Rose all that much, although she was better with Eccleston than anybody else.
I liked Martha, but I HATED that they made her fall in love with him. It’s like, really? You HAVE to fall in love with the Doctor?
Capaldi was a close second to Eccleston for me. Tennant was okay, but of course he and Catherine Tate are long-time tag-team comedians. I really really really did not like Smith.
To top it off, the pro critics’ episode-specific numbers at Rotten Tomatoes (except for “Orphan 55”) are high even though the user numbers at Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb are so low that at RT many of them are below of them are below splotch to overturned garbage can and at IMDB, 5 of the 6 worst of the entire 9th-13th are 13thers (the other of the 6 is “Sleep No More”).
That critic/audience divide is maddening.
It is so obvious when they are virtue signalling – in both directions.
Plus, they are the pros. So Rotten tomatoes really shouldn’t work. If a movie is at all above the “sux/doesn’t sux” line, it should be a positive review. So most competently made movies should clock in at around 100% on the tomato meter for critics. Yet even fantastic movies that are all-time classics clock in around 90%. (when they are first reviewed. There’s a lot of retroactive reviewing in the movie review business).
But there is never a 95% comedy. Just doesn’t happen. Even if you don’t like comedies, you should be able to tell if it is competently made. And you should be able to judge it for what it is. Not every movie aspires to be Citizen Kane. 40 year old virgin was a perfectly fine movie…. nobody should be giving that thing a bad review, even if “do you know how I know you are gay” ad-libs are not your cup of tea.
That’s a reoccurring Carolla complaint – judge comedies for what they are, not what they aren’t.
Something can be a near-perfect comedy and it still just gets 80%, at best, because it’s not X, Y or Z. Critics are snobs.

Missed the videos of the British MEP crying because their Eurovacation was cut short. Boo fucking hoo. The Quislings crying not because of joy should be set on spikes on the Dover cliffs as a warning to Eurocrats. Too bad that the flag toting MEPs didn’t Eurobitch to go fuck herself.
The contempt in that intro is dripping like ectoplasm.
You’ve been here for awhile… It’s rubbing off! Feeel the Sugar Free… let it consume your soul…
No, no, no, I meant Spud’s link. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-impeachment-acquittal-speech-watch-live-stream-today-2020-02-06/ The newscasters’ contempt was slimy and gross like ectoplasm and just as thick.
It’s hard to do “righteous” over the inter-webs. I knew where you were aiming and agree.
I hate to say it but I’m starting to like Cheetoh Jesus a little bit.
I’ve always liked it when someone pokes a bully in the eye. I came over here straight from Slate and Salon. At Slate I was accused of being a Russian Bot. The trans-person moderator defended me and got whaled on in the comment section. Salon just banned me outright. ChemJeff used to be over there but he was always pretty acerbic. Fuck them. I’ve found my home.
“ChemJeff” sounds vaguely familiar.
Dude, why you gotta go swimmin’ in toxic dumps?
Had hopes of being an author. Open Salon used to be pretty great when we had a cool, black guy in charge. When Trump descended his golden escalator all bets were off. People that I’d been chatting with for years put up a “shun” wall. Okay. Fuck you very much! I’ll take my balls and find somewhere else to play with them.
ChemJeff was some dude that people didn’t like on HnR because he wasn’t yokel enough or something.
Wasn’t he also a mendacious twit? Or am I thinking of someone else?
*shrugs*
I dunno. I never got why some people loathed nicole either.
I’m not clear on the Nicole loathing, but my take is unapologetically pro-abortion.
So? I’m unapologetically anti-abortion and I got along swimmingly with nicole both on and off line.
People who don’t shovel their sidewalks? People who were kids at one time?
I thought the sidewalk shoveling thing was Tulpa.
That was nikki.
Of course, they could all be Tulpa.
If nicole is nikki, I wouldn’t say I loathed her, although I consider anti-natalism a belief on the moral level of Stalinism.
If you’re talking about forced anti-natalism, then I agree. If you’re talking about a personal stance, I find it more moral than “be fruitful and multiply” exponentially.
I actually don’t have a problem with anti-natalism as a philosophy and I don’t know how holding a philosophy is evil.
In practice, it simply cannot be. SOMEbody SOMEwhere is going to be having a baby. See: Blue Lagoon.
Choosing not to have children is fine. Announcing the belief that people who have children are thereby doing evil, which nikki did in fact do and which is what I consider to be anti-natalism is a belief up there with Stalinism.
That’s antinatalism as a policy, not a philosophy. I spay and neuter my pets because I believe it is irresponsible to allow them to breed when dogs and cats are overpopulated to begin with. That doesn’t mean I seek to outlaw dog and cat breeders. Antinatalists like the Essenes or the Shakers believed that procreation was a moral wrong for various reasons, but they recognized that in order for their orders to continue, other people had to breed and produce children who might become interested in a celibate monastic communal life.
So, basically Chicken without the egg.
I actually don’t have a problem with anti-natalism as a philosophy and I don’t know how holding a philosophy is evil.
I am not sure how to unpack this because in the only way I can read it that makes sense you are putting words in my mouth.
Holding a philosophy is not itself evil. But some philosophies re in fact evil. I deliberately used Stalinism, to avoid any misunderstanding. One may be a marxist without embracing evil because while marxism inevitably leads to gulags most marxists do not believe this and therefore can hold their philosophy without embracing evil. Stalinism includes the gulags as a necessary and proper step toward their goal, and therefore to be a Stalinist is to embrace evil. Anti-natalism holds that the extinction of humanity is a positive event, a moral good based on their utilitarian calculus. I hold that to be an evil goal, even if it is merely aspirational.
I didn’t mind Nicole. I can recall two moments when I found myself at odds with her. First, she really hated that I insisted on calling that girl with a mattress from Columbia a slut. My characterization of the girl was confirmed when I watched a video on Pornhub where she banged some guy. Second, Nicole refused to believe that refugees in Cologne were sexually harassing women at New Year’s Eve of 2016. The German media tried to cover it up for a day or two but eventually had to report it. Days later Nicole was still in the denial mode. She more or less disappeared shortly after that.
I promise I am not trying to put words in your mouth. It appeared to me your statement was kind of an aside and I didn’t give it much thought beyond googling “anti-natalism” to make sure I got a more complete overview.
I don’t even know how to process that.
Moral consistency would be for the Essenes and Shakers to allow their orders to die out.
Also, I am assured that Nikki is no longer the worst.
“Blue Lagoon”? “Paradise” is the superior movie.
I’ve actually never seen Blue Lagoon all the way through. I saw the part where they figured out how to make a baby and then figured out how to get the baby out without killing them both, which, even as a teenager, tested my ability to suspend disbelief.
Moral consistency would be for the Essenes and Shakers to allow their orders to die out.
Shakers on on the job – Brother Arnold Hadd and Sister June Carpenter are all that are left.
There was a great Shaker exhibit I went to in Maine a couple of years ago, and we listened to a long interview with Brother Arnold on the way – really interesting stuff (which I can’t find right this moment).
ChemJeff waffles between serious comments and trolling. Mostly trolling.
And it has John’s love of pointless argument.
I sometimes think there is more than one person controlling the account. Or maybe there’s medication involved.
He wasn’t even a cosmo. Was basically a straight up prog.
No that describes him. You could be thinking of someone else though.
Why slate, if you don’t mind?
Just stumbled in. Had something to do with Christopher Hitchens… It kinda steam-rolled from there. There were a lot of good people and much snark before the Donald era. Like I said, Salon used to be be pretty cool. What the fuck do I know? It wasn’t really about politics back then.
Jeez, I gave up on Salon like 15 years ago. Oh well, whatever path one takes…. 🙂
It was “Open Salon” and they used to have some good cultural criticism. Stop judging me! Gawd!
A lot of things changed over the last 12 years. Obama ushered in the age of propaganda. And then Trump made all that propaganda turn nasty.
I member Obama appearing on Bill Maher about 2003 or 4 and thinking “oh shit, here we go…’
Just got to watch part of Trump’s presser. Hinting that Nancy is a devil worshiper was my favorite.
I have a glass of green spot now.
Littledoom is fast asleep and I get to watch an episode of Fargo with the lady.

“Coronavirus” is a strange name for a Chinese political commissar, but whatever.
Hey man, those organs aren’t gonna harvest themselves.
“‘Coronavirus’ is a strange name for” the disease as coronaviruses is itself a category.
Anyone want to ‘fight me’ about ‘viruses’ as plural of ‘virus’?
“Epstein didn’t kill himself” just got more diverse.

You are a bully and a coward. Bullies like you go around kicking dog turds, some of that dog shit is UXO. I am a UXO motherfker . I am what you might call one of those people you shouldn’t fuck with.
Man what a place to Brooks a reply. Now we all have to wonder… 🙂
It’s obvious who he’s talking about unless you’re some kind of idiot, you idiot.

Was going for the John-o reference. Obviously flopped.
I think I know who that was for, but I have to admit I’m pretty confused.
Naw, it was this: https://twitter.com/michaelmalice/status/1225604021576241153
What do I have to spell it out for you? Do I need to enact all of your labor?
I have no fucking idea what you are talking about. This started with Straff Brooks’ing (PBUH) a comment that was clearly meant for someone… I’m not sure who exactly… and then… I don’t know.
I read the Malice thing. Some guy evidently said he wasn’t tough and then pulled the UXO line, which is… kinda funny considering he was analogizing himself to dog shit and UXO at the same time… which is weird.
Maybe I should just go read before I go to bed. And I don’t follow anyone on twitter because I find that entire medium idiotic. I almost never go on there except for links from people here. So, yeah, I guess “Okay Boomer” on me (though my parents are Boomers).
It was funny copy threat pasta. Not aimed at anyone here. I don’t flamethrow others here. I’d just leave ala TOS.
It’s obvious you aren’t a high IQ individual, a stable genius, like myself.
Now I’m interested in who you think that was meant for.
Now that you ruined it I was just fucking around. I legitimately thought that was obvious.
I thought it was obvious.
Was tempted to let the trolling go on, but at the bottom of it all I’m a hooker with a heart of gold.

UXO? That’s a new one.
Unified Xandrian Occidental
Duh.
Ohhh! That UXO!!
I’m a liar and a plagiarist.

That was funnier in context.
I was laughing my ass off for about five minutes after reading that thread. Like, out loud . “I am unexploded ordnance” has to be one the best lines ever.
Danger: UXO. Someone get Anthony Andrews on the phone.
Danger! Danger!
Wait, they have have two songs?
Is UXO a sequel to UXB?
I love it when the gaijan has to walk home.
CrossFit people have nothing on me. I end my workouts by sleeping in the genkan.
They’re probably so courteous that they drift you to your front door.
It probably won’t come to a surprise to the Gilbertariat that “Gimme Three Steps” was based on a true story. The bar in question is in the Westside neighborhood of Jacksonville, and was known as The Pastime for years.
New ownership renamed it The Jug, no doubt to cash in on a small part of music history.

A Brain Fart:
The progressive socialists within the Democratic Party have spent the last four years wrongly assuming that they were upstream from culture.
Kinda obvious, yeah. But it’s the best I’ve got right now.
They’re downstream and the water is suspiciously warmer.
And yellower.
I don’t even know what that means.
I was trying to figure it out myself, but Straf seems to say that the culture is pissing in the progs water. I’d put it the other way around, but …
It’s TH’s brain fart. Let him explain.
Andrew Breitbart quote:
https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Andrew_Breitbart
Not exactly perfect, but the man was more principled than the website that still bears his name.
Andrew Breitbart said that “politics was downstream from culture.”
Basically I’m saying that an extremely active and vocal subset of society took their pet issues and used grievance mongering and guilt to leverage power in the DNC and then overplayed their hand with the general voting public through persistent mockery and bullying of anybody who didn’t agree with the cause du jour.
They got too eager. The progressive left has done a brilliant job of slowly chipping away at any semblance of a constitutional republic for well over a hundred years now. But the new crop just didn’t have the patience to see it through. They blew they’re loads in fit childish rage.
I agree with what seem to be the thought of most here that we’ll slide into pure Socialism sooner or later or have CWII, but the far left set themselves back at least a decade in achieving that goal. Even after Trump is gone many will remember their behavior and it will, I believe, cause them to struggle to control more than two branches at best for the next few election cycles.
My two cents.
Er, spelling errors, not branches, House, Senate, Presidency, the SC probably isn’t shifting anywhere but right anytime soon, piss off. ;p
The “hey there fella with the hair colored yella” has been my theme song since what, the 80’s?
I even got sucker punched in a bar once because I was (you know) a cop’s wife, unbeknownst to me. She was a pretty good lay, and he had every right to be pissed that his wife was out servicing other dudes, but again, I didn’t know she was married, and certainly wouldn’t have done the nasty with her if I had known she was betrothed to one of the king’s men
You were a cop’s wife?
Was wondering the same.
If only there was someone around here who did editing work that he could hire to edit his comments for him…..
The ‘(you know)’ should have been a ‘[redacted]’
Pussies were fucked.
I shall make a cake. It will not be a fancy cake. It will be a Shirley Temple poke cake.
I am not sophisticated.
Oh my God.
That’s straight out of the Gallery of Regrettable Food
I found that almost 20 years ago… just amazingly great.
Yes!!
An all time favorite. I actually discovered it, and the author, while I was working in Minneapolis at the end of the millennium. Bought the book, periodically visit the website.
Someone has to make this for the next Honey Harvest.
The perfect desert for hot dish.
Every holiday, my mom and sister insist on cranberry fluff salad. Ground fresh cranberries (we do them in an old meat grinder) halved grapes, apples, cool whip, marshmallows, walnuts, and something else (can’t remember right now). Maybe a jello. I hate it, but it MUST be served.
Mmmmm….’something else’. ::gurgle::
RIGHT?!
So deliciously LOW. /Eliza Doolittle
“I am not sophisticated”
Well… that cake will be on-brand then.
I enjoy poke cakes and crazy cakes. I also like some jello salads. My favorite is a box of orange jello, two cans of mandarin oranges, a carton of cottage cheese and a package of cool whip. Mix all together and serve. It sounds disgusting, yet I’ve never brought it to a potluck and not had it disappear.
A family favorite growing up. The Jello cookbook was an essential/
I found in a thrift shop, and gave to my mother, a vintage 50s Good Housekeeping cookbook with all manner of aspics and Jello creations.
Thrift shop cook books from the 60s and 70s are hilarious.
In 4th or 5th or 6th Grade we had to bring in a dish and its recipe for… some event.
Mine was a Jello Salad. There was Cool Whip. And I think a bundt cake mold.
It’s simple, sweet, and melts in your mouth.
You know what else is simple, sweet, and melts in your mouth?
Simple syrup? Brown sugar? Cotton candy? Hitler?
*breathes heavily*
No
Yes, people like them. Also, fruit pizza.
There’s a memoir called “Mennonite in a Little Black Dress”. She’s a college professor and is very nervous about bringing dishes from her childhood to department potlucks. But, the grad students love them. Because, they may not be sophisticated, but people love them., they’re tasty and hearty.
Yeup. Like flower pot dirt cake. I love that. Or kitty litter cake, but that is very blah and not worth the effort.
Nothing wrong with comfort food. I think a truly sophisticated gourmet isn’t snobby about food, they simply have a wider palette of flavors they find palatable. My parents were close friends with Ethan Becker (son of the original author of the Joy of Cooking and heir to it as an enterprise), and he would take trips to Italy and France in search of new tastes, but also enjoy the hell out of a burger at a barbecue.
Hear, hear. I dislike “gourmet” or even “foodie”, since it has connotations of snobbery.
Chowhound” has always made me happy. I’ve had some fancy, kick-ass food this week (the wife’s birthday “month”), but I also really, really love a good hotdog.
Sam’s Club has a good hot dog. QuikTrip has a good hot dog. Ballparks have good hot dogs.
I cannot find these hot dogs in stores.
That’s often “a thing” – the dogs available to the big venues are not available retail.
The good ones eventually get smart and offer them for retail (e.g., Pearl around here).
I’d much rather have a hot dog than a hamburger.
Except Sonic. I love Sonic’s double cheeseburgers.
Oh, hell yes.
Hotdog > hamburger.
Oh and then there’s dump cake and better than sex cake.
Potluck cakes. Like casseroles only dessert.
For a minute, I thought you were referring to Sex In A Pan, with that cake link.
Good to know there are ‘variations’ and the like, out there.
You know what? You’re totally right. That’s the one and I couldn’t remember what it was called. I KNEW that better than sex cake recipe didn’t look right. My mom mislabeled her recipe.
I never make it because, firstly, I’m not a huge fan of chocolate and secondly, I almost never make potluck cakes. I love the Shirley Temple and there is also a lemon poke cake.
I have not one clue as to what a “poke cake” is. Never heard of it, and, tbh, not even sure how it’s pronounced.
Po-kay? Poke, as in, ‘poke in the eye with a stick”? Po-kuh, sorta like Pokemon?
A poke cake is a box cake you make in a 13×9 pan. When it is baked, you let it cool, and you use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes in it in a grid. Then you pour jello or pudding or whatever flavor your cake is supposed to be in the holes and the cake soaks it all up.
The one I’m going to make is a poke cake. White cake mix, cherry jello. One I really like is lemon. Lemon cake mix, lemon pudding, but I love lemon just about anything. The first “better than sex” cake I posted (not the one you posted) is a poke cake.
Oh, holy heck! I remember when Jello/some food company had a campaign about those cakes back in the 80’s! I remember convincing my mom to make at lest one at some point. However, I have no recollection of ever hearing that term.
It WAS early 80’s! And, it was Jello! And, they came up with a new term for them.
Seriously–how could 10-year-old me possibly NOT want a cake that looked like that?? Oh, to be a kid, and not know about advertising tricks of the trade…
G’night. I’ll check back tomorrow to see if this thread makes more sense then.
Quick. Everyone totally eff things up for Ozy’s return.
Done aaaand done.
I thought my work was already done.
Not quite yet.
Ball Golf etiquette works pretty well, Disc golf attempts to you use the same Honor system, then the came the Hippies,
the older folks play nicely, the Youngun’s are just assholes, that end up with discs in the River.
OTOH, I put a Mid range in a tree on the edge of the dog park, trying to find it a Dog guy came over with a chair and stick and as I balanced on the chain link we all looked like idiots with Yellow pollen raining on us, Good times with old guys!
How many discs do you carry for one round?
right now 12, I just bought another, for 13 total, the thing is, some of them I won’t throw on gravel, so I only throw about 5-6 different ones per round
After my visit with Wendy Tomorrow, I’m playing Sunset park, in Vegas, 9 holes takes about an hour, if your chilling, i think a picture or 2 would be handy for my next article…
Go Try It, I know they plat there,
I’ve played a kind of ad hoc disc golf years ago. Got into that and hacky sack for a couple summers.
Heh. I have 14 clubs in my golf bag but lucky if I use six of them. Same dealio.
I played Ball Golf for 20 years, Same thing applies, except you could play Disc with 1 and do well, if you’re good,
the 12 are all a bit different, flight wise, and do some pretty cool shit if you throw them right
“Some of them won’t throw on gravel”
You know how some topics have their own lingo and it is impenetrable to outsiders? Yeah…. frisbees that you can’t throw on gravel is one of those things.
Imagine a Golf hole that is completely dirt and Gravel, wherever you land , it’s dirt.
Now imagine my Disc spinning into that dirt getting ground up on landing, yuck
Wait for the article, all will be revealed….
I’m going to have to turn in my glib Wings, aren’t I? *accepts the yellow feather of shame. shambles away into the night*
Whatever for??
I admitted that I’d been a denizen of Slate and Salon before I saw the light. It used to be fun being a centrist on those sites before they went whack-a-doodle. The F to M tranny that they put in charge of editing the comments is actually a really cool person. She/he backed me up when Donald was enthroned and I laughed and laughed. They were calling me a Bot but he said no, this feller has been here for years and you can all go pound sand. I didn’t last much longer over there than that.
You don’t have to be ashamed of that. After all, a lot of us here used to read TOS.
Touche. To be sure.
*throws rock at Festus as he walks away and loudly boos*
Missed me missed me now you gotta kiss me!
I’m not sure if Glib Wings are like red wings, blood eagle wings, bingo wings, or something dreamed up by SF after a mescaline and mezcal bender.
Ahhhhh, Crap! Now I need brain bleach!

They both look too pristine.
Frisbees are intended to be skipped on the parking lot.
I agree, these aren’t frisbees, if I hit you with one, I could crack your skull, for real, they are heavy, and aerodynamic,
that’s why I have 12 Different discs
less goof-ball reply:
Do the rules allow flying rings?
Because some of those things can be thrown far enough to make every hole a par 2
I don’t know, I doubt it, something about rigid discs… I’ll look it up,
and still beat your flexy things……
At UNC they had a huge athletic field – 6 football fields plus room for sidelines. Used for intramurals as well as scholarship sports. We used to play ultimate with them on that big field. A perfect throw and you could cover more than a football field. And when in good condition they fly disturbingly straight. Seems like they would be unfair. I fairly well suck at frisby, and I was able to throw those things the length of a football field and be relatively on target.
Although… now that I think of it… they might be fairly useless for golf. There’s not really any “and it is going to land 47 yards from here” component to it. You fly it straight and level towards a buddy who catches it at basically the same height you threw it at and the same height it has been flying at the whole time. I dunno how you’d gauge “and it is going to stop this far away”.
Ultimate is still around, on fields like a Soccer game, neat Idea, but too athletic for me..
Good Fun Though!
Distance is dependent on power, and the disc speed, I’m writing….

Needs moar boobies.
So a friend of mine, internet never met up IRL, but someone I was fairly close to a few years back, just announced that she is transgendered. She always said she was bisexual, and had crushes on girls, but was also a touch prone to jump into love with men who made no bones about the fact that they were looking for sex and nothing more. She was never the slightest bit masculine and in fact had a sort shy retiring personality ( that is a weakness of mine lol). I’ll admit to a great degree of confusion. Although it does explain some things about her husband, whom she says knew about this when they married last year.
So, basically, you’re telling us you were attracted to a man?
How do you know she wasn’t the slightest bit masculine if you never met IRL? Which glib that you’ve never met is the most masculine?
I am. Obvs.
I eat betas like you for breakfast, pal.
It was “Obvs.” that gave me away, wasn’t it?
I eat you posers for Breakfast!
Part of a complete nutritional breakfast.
Yeah Honey!
another part…
Use of obvs and/or adorbs disqualifies you.
which was the joke, of course. But don’t tell these rubes. shhh…
I find it cute that you did that.
It’s obvious who is most masculine unless you’re some kind of idiot, you idiot.
*Pins Bro down, takes a swing of milk, slobbers spit string inch away from face and slurps it back up*
We spoke on Ventrilo for hours at a time pretty much every night for a couple of years. I never met her because she lives more than a thousand miles away, but this wasn’t a chatboard friend.
You actually spoke? Fair nuff. Did she have the opposite of a lisp?

I’m definitely the most mescaline.
I doubt I can understand that.
I’m a guy – who likes guys. I often get lumped into the same bucket as your friend, but… I can’t understand what that person is going through at all.
I used to do a whole riff on Rene Richards – the Dr. and tennis player who was MtF back in the 70’s and dated Billy Jean King and Martina Navratilova. (the joke being, if you are a lesbian trapped in the body of a heterosexual man…. how can you tell?)
But that was back when we used to make fun of our idiosyncrasies. At the time I was living with a suite of 6 of the horniest gay dudes you’ve ever met – 3 of whom were taking hormone supplements to grow boobs and enjoyed trying to embarrass me and my (also very horny but extremely heterosexual) roommate by showing off their “tuck”. I’m a dude. Not gonna embarrass me with sex.
They loved that bit. I dare say they’d burn my house down today for doing that bit.
We really should be able to laugh at ourselves. Laughter is a good social lubricant, and it also allows people to broach subjects that they’d be to afraid or embarrassed to approach in a serious manner. But that ship sailed a long time ago.
I ‘member….
I was briefly friends with a guy who went MtF later on, or at least transvestite. No idea if he carried it further. This was the early 90s when I was still coming to grips with myself.
Had another friend at the same time who was an early example of today’s worst nightmare proggie. First time I ever heard the term “PC”. “I’m here, I’m queer” – the works. I couldn’t stand that asshole.
Agree on the laughter bit – we’re old.
Gay dudes growing boobs is the topic that I have no familiarity with. At all.
I really don’t want to dismiss it or trivialize it as she remains someone I think fondly of, and obviously I am not inside her mind, but it seems deeply discordant with my observances.
“transgendered”
Yeah… that’s their trigger word. Don’t use that one.
Yowsa! I had a next door neighbor growing up that transitioned. She always had the hottest friends and we could never feature why. Her Mom turned out to be a big old dyke about 15 years later. Thanks Jodi/Daniel for giving me lots of gropage that I had no business handling. Thanks again for the first under-bra titty squeeze that I ever experienced! “More Than a Feeling”…
I had a girlfriend in junior hi whose mom suddenly left the family and went full lesbian. Early 80’s. Courage, but also a bit fucked up.
It’s the “leaving the family” part that makes it less than a slam dunk.
Two young daughters and a husband that was by all measures a good guy. People didn’t judge her IIRC. It was more, “That’s weird.”
“That’s weird” = “Gee, she must have cracked or something.”
Nah. More like coulda seen that coming…
Gay guys faking to be straight are sometimes easy to spot. Lesbians faking to be straight can be a tad trickier.
My buddy actually hit that chapped-lip person. He doesn’t appreciate my jokes, anymore. Poor Darren, so confused.
I’m confused. How does her being transgendered answer things about her husband?
He came across as very effeminate.
And always sat side-saddle….
So not a “man-spreader”.
Is she FTM and therefore gay? I ‘m not trying to be a jerk here. I’m genuinely confused.
I have a former colleague who went MTF and is lesbian. I scratch my head, wish her well, and we all go on with our lives.
You see, Chafed, when a man and a woman and another man/woman love each other very much…
Pussy!

Hate birds not hating.

See?! That’s what I needed up-thread.
So are you the goose or the pig? No judgement, we’re all friends here.
Why are you insistent on me identifying with either??
Maybe I identify as the cameraman. D’ya ever think of that??
Digby breaking the fourth wall! ?
Dude, I’m Trumpin’ up in herre; I’m breakin’, like, the 14th wall!
Breaking the law! Breaking the law! ??
Given the time, this is even more apropos
?⚡?
I’m a dollar short and a day late.
This is a metaphor for me, isn’t it? C’mon, I still luv Murica!
Depends whether or not that you spit on the sidewalk. Imma think Straff is a Hate-Bird.
He doesn’t hate though..
That’s how you can tell Chinese hate birds from Japanese hate birds. No spitting. *Honk, honk*
Round here they just lay big green turds that they don’t clean up, i mean hey, I pick up my dog poop, how about some courtesy, Hate Birds!
I can find no fault in that logic. Hate birds; clean up after your nasty asses!
Hate Birds migrating to my park! Hate shit all over the course, and when I walk Bella, she wants to Kill HATE BIRDS!
Good Doggie!
I remember taking my little doggo to the river on New Years Day, 1996. He wanted to keeeel them cows across the way. The only thing that stopped him was the shriekiest voice that I’ve ever managed. Half frozen river is not a friend to little doggo. Heh. He was my buddy and always managed to shit in my exes shoes and on her Son’s pillow. I miss that dog.
Truly man’s best friend.
^this
That dog had an astounding alimentary canal, it sounds like. Truly, a dog who can give shit to those deserving of such.
This is me at 7 am tomorrow,

Oh, man….why do I think that, if I knew him, I’d really like him, prior to this announcement?
I dunno…maybe I could teach him about ‘channels’, the buttons that bring those channels to you, and then maybe move on to things like DVRs, and Puppy Bowl.
Pastor Dave? It’s not a matter of what you take in, per se; especially if you are already opposed to whatever it is. In fact, you can read about it in….The BIBLE!!
I don’t dress quite as spiffy. i’m gonna go eat some meatloaf and watch a movie with Judi. Best wishes to all y’all!
You wear clothes while eating? Well La dee da.
Literally a Mr. Fancy-pants.

Here you go, hater that hates me https://youtu.be/l0WLw6WRX4E hate on hater.

I was so hoping for this when I posted. !
It’s like a Canucki version of Chafed’s patented DigbyRoll.
As I suspected. Adding mayo, mustard, and ketchup while leaving off the spread makes INO almost a decent short order burger. Now if they only had bacon…
My apologies, but, as someone who can’t stand condiments, what is “spread”, if it isn’t mayo, mustard, or ketchup?
It’s allegedly some thousand island like sauce (so resembling ketchup, relish, mayo, and maybe mustard) but a) I suspect it’s industrially made with shortcuts and b) individually is good but mixed together and homogenized makes for bland flavor. Like mixing together all of the sodas from the fountain as a kid.
Ah–the wonderful “suicide” concoction! I did that once.
Once.
My friends and I did that with every liquor in my house… I think it was gin, both kinds of vermouth, several types of whiskey/whisky, absinthe, Galliano, and Bacardi 151.
Well……in my defense, I was, like, 8.
Well in MY defense, we were completely fucking plastered, which tends to make grown men act like 8-year olds…
Hmm…touche’.
??
Also, I know it as “sauce’/secret sauce. But, “spread’ works just as well for me.
As a former short-order cook, you are officially dead to me now.
If, in your life as a short-order cook, you had put any of that shit on my burgre (Canadian spelling), it might very well have been you who would be dead.
Many a fast food lackey has had to endure my smoldering-disdain, passive-aggressive scowl, when I’ve had to go in to get a correction.
Our Billy Carter in waiting.

That’s more like Billy and Mr. Chappaquiddick combined.
I thought the usual model is that the first generation builds thevemire/corporation, the second one solidifies and maintains it, and the third one squanders and destroys it.
Looks like the Biden fam is bypassing the consolidation phase and going straight to frat party.
PARTY AT THE BIDENS!!! WOOOOOOH!!
Hunter collects the door fees, Joe sniffs the girl’s’ hair, and Jill defends the place against Corn Ball with her shotgun.

“ADAMS, Mass. (AP) — A man was shot and killed in his apartment by a crossbow bolt that a neighbor had fired at dogs who were attacking the man, authorities in Massachusetts said.”
A crossbow. *facepalm*
With Samaritans like that…
Mind the road this morning, home-slice
Will do, homey! Just heading out to clean off the car.

Was this discussed?
Of course it was Florida woman…
Huh, they admit to brawling but she got carted off to jail and not him. I guess it does pay to be the first one to call the cops sometimes because that seems to be the only explanation unless he’s in a wheelchair or something.
She tazed him repeatedly. Why arrest him?
