SO STEVE SMITH GO BACK TO BE PROMINENT FOREST LAWYER AND WORK FOR FREE CASCADIA…EVEN IF HIM NO GET SEE ANYONE.
S. SMITH, ESQ.
FREE CASCADIA!
A rare miss by Kmele in the latest TFC episode. He rebukes Basecamp (albeit gently) for banning political discussions, suggesting that instead they should have fostered a culture and climate where these discussions can be had fruitfully and in good faith. Never mind fruitful, Kmele should know better than anyone among the three that good faith doesn’t enter into it, because they aren’t discussions, they’re lectures, they’re catechisms, and they’re heretic burning exercises. This same business simultaneously ousted an employee for arguing that the company isn’t a haven for white supremacists. It’s fucking Moynihan who points out that the zoomers going to HR (or quitting the company) over these “discussions” are intellectually and emotionally incapable of engaging in reasoned debate, and how ridiculous is it that the company needs to entertain their complaints in the first place?
It’s an amazing gambit, though. Basecamp simultaneously got rid of their least productive and most problematic employees. Who knew hiring emotionally stunted, maleducated race-obsessive weirdos would be a problem.
Crazy thought. The purpose of work is working.
The purpose of work is to Survive, if you enjoy what you do, then you get to live,
also Men are like dogs, if we have no purpose, we get in trouble,
/Alpha As Fuck,
Yep, any answer other than “get the fuck back to work” is ridiculous. Go to therapy on your own time.
I had a few crappy jobs but I always had a good time at work. I knew that those jobs weren’t forever and I could quit anytime I wanted. I worked with Manpower in the late 70s, jobs were scarce, kids were hungry, etc. I got sent out twice, both places hired me away from Manpower after 1 day on the job.
They bought out my Manpower contract, not sure how much, a couple hundred, maybe less. If work is fun it ain’t work.
In my twenties work was often “fun” too – I made friends, went out drinking after work, etc. etc. These kids at Basecamp, Google, and the like are probably all in that phase.
It got a lot less appealing in my thirties and forties. In my fifties I don’t want to hear anything that isn’t work-related.
I had huge fun in the custom motorcycle industry, despite all the bounced checks and general flakiness. I traded that for steady income and security and it’s a toss up if it was worth it. Except for my kid, he makes it mandatory to have security.
He rebukes Basecamp (albeit gently) for banning political discussions, suggesting that instead they should have fostered a culture and climate where these discussions can be had fruitfully and in good faith.
Fuck. That. My coworkers are not my friends. They aren’t my debate team. Wanna talk politics? Do it on your own time. I don’t have the time or the emotional energy to deal with that shit.
^this times a Bagillion
We have our fucked up union pushing Marxism constantly. There’s really no escape. I openly mock them, especially when they con everyone into using VC time to astroturf a Kamala rally. I skipped it and then made sure everyone knew that’s the way they were conned. I doubt the union could do it again.
Union? Marxism? Difference? NO,
No. If my union devoted itself to improving the lot of us workers and enforcing our contract, I’d have no quarrel with them. They just fail at those things and put all the effort into helping elect scumbags.
Just so. I have zero problems with a group of people deciding that the want to negotiate collectively. )Screw you closed shops.) I also don’t have huge problem with voluntary strikes (don’t be suprised if they hire your job out from under you, though).
As it stands now the government has it so that only one party can step away from a negotiation. That means that it isn’t a buiness negotiation, its a hostage negotiation.
Yeah and the union is too excited to play the electoral game to bother using that to advantage the actual workers. Politics makes strange bedfellows.
This isn’t the current culture or climate of the US at large, though.
I remember 15 years ago people would sometimes sit around at work and bullshit about politics during their downtime, but everyone kind of had an idea of where everyone else stood, and everyone liked each other (or at least, realized we all had to work together every day), so nobody took it too far, and everyone moderated themselves a bit based on who was around. Maybe the hippie chick would roll her eyes and walk away from the redneck gun nut or vice versa, but nobody really gave much of a shit and nobody would even consider trying to get someone fired.
Now? Fuck no, everyone’s crazy and political discussions should be avoided, especially at work.
Yup. Battle lines are drawn. It’s not OK to differ in opinion anymore.
When Trump won, my lefty friend was furious at me for voting for Cake Nazi Johnson. As if I owed a vote to Hildog, and withholding it caused the monster to win. He was extreme in his his outrage. I almost kicked his ass for going off on me like that. I know he voted for the most evil candidate we’ve ever had, but I can let him fuck up like that. Not him.
The stakes are so minimal for these people that I figure they can’t help but obsess over it. Mom is like this, she doesn’t understand why I didn’t vote in November. I tried explaining that A) I wouldn’t have voted for Biden even if I wasn’t going to vote for Trump, and I’m not going to vote for the LP candidate for reasons I wasn’t about to get into with her, and B) it wouldn’t have made a difference, anyway, as our state goes deep blue. But she’s weirdly obsessive about the vote I didn’t cast. Mass democracy is the greatest psychological trick ever played. Everyone thinks they have buy-in and the stakes couldn’t be any lower, and by some bizarre inversion of logic that’s what they obsess about more than anything. Does mom wonder whether I ever volunteer? Does she worry that I could be drafted? Does she ask me about my charity spending, or brag about hers? No, she obsesses about the least important facet of our civic duties, the one that will be cancelled out by literally unmitigated fraud, the one which will never prove to be the crux on which any important decision is made, the one which will never be a moment of salvation or damnation for anyone, an act which is as simple as wasting half an hour standing in line, and which will, in the end, only help prop up a corrupt and debauched system we all hate.
That’s well said. Thanks
“Mass democracy is the greatest psychological trick ever played”
You can fool most of the people most of the time. My parents never voted, I asked my dad why not not?
“They’re all a bunch of sons of bitches” Said in a strong Latvian accent and not grammatically correct.. I was a Twoscore at the time, took another Score before I learned that my Dad was a wise man.
Huh. Usually CBP are the ones doing the rape.

Spicoli hardest hit, on his skull: https://www.kusi.com/vans-shoe-company-co-founder-dead-at-90/
I wore black suede Vans exclusively until the early nineties, when they started to suck. I’m back wearing them now because all the other options suck now too.
I wear Vans Right now, and all my Life, originally Boating Deck shoes, We used them for skating, I use them for disc, and destroy them, Sk8 Hi FTW!
100$ a pair,
I don’t even think they had leather Vans when I was a kid. It was all canvas. They’d wear out in about ten minutes and my parents wouldn’t buy me new ones but twice a year. I spent a lot of time wearing flapping ripped up vans and burning my toes skating. I always wore the low tops with no stripes and always in black. Even after I grew up.
It comes down to the NLRB. If unions were treated by the law like any other company, they’d be much more well heeled. If unions could legitimately compete with one another for labor contracts and for man power, they’d have much less time and money to waste on being low key commies.
Hadn’t thought of it that way. Excellent point.
Would you believe this much?
But, yeah, If unions operated as a voluntary enterprise, that would fix all of this. It’s obvious that pubsec unions should be prohibited from actively campaigning for the people they are certain to negotiate with. The thing most people miss is that the actual workers get screwed too. It’s a good job, but it’s not incredibly better than many private sector jobs, the one thing we have is our contract and the union can’t be bothered to enforce that when it is to the detriment of management. It’s almost like they are good friends with the pols who they should be pushing back against.
Whatever happened to the Boogaloos, anyway?
Probably still out there.
I wouldn’t expect much from them.
And, yeah, after a year of non stop terrorism, a few murders by BLM/antifa types and an incredibly soft police response to all of that, they’re gonna claim the Proud Boys are the threat. Fuck them.
And most people have no Idea who they are,
I wasn’t aware that the Proud Boys were disguising themselves as Targets and police stations.
If our press was worth a damn they’d ask this. But of course they’re probably donating money to Antifa so expecting them to not be propagandists it too much to ask.
Some members of the “press” might not buy all the victimhood excuses bad behavior thing, but they are terrified of being doxxed and having thugs picket their homes.

You gravitate to that which you secretly love most
You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts
There is no chance, coincidence or accident
In a world ruled by law and divine order
You rise as high as your dominant aspiration
You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self
Free your mind and your ass will follow
The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers
Its nature is to respond to your thoughts
Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind
For seeds grow after their kind
Play on, children
Every thought felt as true
Or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind
Takes roots in your subconscious
Blossoms sooner or later into an act
And bears its own fruit
Good thoughts bring forth good fruit
Bullshit thoughts rot your meat
Think right, and you can fly
The kingdom of heaven is within
Free your mind, and your ass will follow
Play on, children
Sing on, lady

This bullshit never gets old to these fucks. In 65-80 years noboby is going to remember that you said this stupid shit. They’ll be too busy predicting that the glaciers will be gone in another 50-100 years. How hard is it to see what a scam this whole thing is. I’ve been near the beach for about 50 years. It looks exactly the same as it did when I was a kid. My childhood home was about 150 yds from the breaks and when I go back and see it now, it’s about 150 yds back, STILL! People are retarded.
Why are we hellbent on preserving these ice age fossils rather than greenifying the planet?

OK Daria,
Great song, great lyrics. Some memories of the past are so sad, wishing some of life’s events could have been a little different.
Thanks, TO’G , never heard Allan Taylor before.
Just saw that the Feds are doing the double jeopardy thing to the MN cops.
It’s interesting because it’s before they are even tried in state court. In Chauvin’s case is after he was convicted. It’s as if they want to make it doubleplus clear that they are anti-police.
We’re going to see a push for a fully federal nation-wide police force as a prelude to the police state we are barrelling toward.
What will they do? Try to pin process crimes on members of the opposing party’s cabinet?
They’re gonna push, it’s gonna be ineffective, till all at once it’s not and suddenly everyone agrees we need to dispense with this federalist notion of internal borders and state sovereignty.
THEY WOULDNT DARE!
When they were processing the remaining Tsarnaev brother, the media had gathered at outside the courthouse for a glimpse. One cop was close enough to the camera that I saw his uniform patch said “Federal Police” instead of Boston PD.
I couldn’t believe my eyes and have had no luck in finding that pic again (I saw it live on the ol’ TV).
Is this already a thing?
Whatever we call them, the feds are investigating, arresting and trying people for advocating for the wrong party. Obama buried that shit deep in the state. It’s bizzare that nobody is willing to outright state that the dems are exactly following in the footsteps of the most evil regimes in history. It’s almost like everyone’s scared of them.

That or they support it or think It can’t happen here.
They believe that it can’t ever happen without the uniforms, symbols, and overt hate for a chosen minority. They would never recognize it packaged in a different colored wrapper.
A lot of them support it, because it’ll be used against the bad people.
It was at the federal courthouse, presumably. Who does security for those? Some sort of federal cops, I assume. Or it was an Amtrak cop (South Station is right near the federal courthouse).
Who do they report up through? Who do they answer to?
Is that where all the 9mm ammo that was purchased under Obama went? Do the CDC bureaucrats get to have police enforce their edicts?
Sheriffs are going to get marginalized, I fear, because they tend to stick to their charter and they personally know the communities they serve.
There are a depressing number of “federal police” agencies:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_law_enforcement_in_the_United_States
Federal marshals would have been my guess.
GSA security guards (FPS) have big “Police” emblazoned on their vehicles and uniforms.

OT: Hey, thanks for the kudos last night! To answer your question, I’m gonna be learning Thai and hopefully heading to 1st Group not long after.
Those kudos are well deserved.
Thai – do you have any background in tonal languages? Pronouncing the vowels alone will be a challenge, but the written language is another huge task. Good luck!
I knew a guy in my reserve unit – American dad, Thai mom, spent most of his life on/around US military bases in Japan then married a Japanese. He spoke all three languages at about the same level – fully able to communicate but didn’t sound like a native speaker in any. I think that those three languages being total polar opposites must have really wired his brain differently.
No experience with tonal languages; I took Russian in college and really liked it but alas, it’s a far cry from what I’ll be learning now. A mentor from my old unit married a Thai woman and was trying to explain the language to me – something like 44 consonants and 26 vowels and several tones and it made my head hurt. I’m gonna do my best, of course, but if my OPI score is a “one-plus, get on the bus” I’ll be plenty satisfied.
That’s a wild story about the guy from your reserve unit! Suffice to say that’s at least one problem I won’t have, haha.
I spent some time in Thailand and am hopeless at it. If you learn it better than most you can try for a tour with JUSMAGTHAI and live there for several years working with them. A bunch of 18 series generally make up the core of that unit.
Awesome, thanks for the heads up! I haven’t heard of JUSMAGTHAI, but we were told that there’s going to be an enduring company in Thailand that teams will rotate through heel-to-toe to keep up a constant presence. So I’m hoping for plenty of experience. There’s also the Jedburgh teams, for guys with solid language skills, too, I’m told.
And thanks for the advice and kudos in the previous night’s thread. Can’t wait to get on a team and start getting work done.
Let me know if that thing comes down anywhere close to Texas.
Don’t worry, after it burns up in the atmosphere, it will be no bigger than the head of a chihuahua.
So, basically a cannonball moving at 15,000 mph.
I do it find fascinating that AIER and Mises are so anti-lock down when they are fervent supporters of trade with China. Hell Rothbard was apologizing for Mao literally since the founding of the PRC.

Tedious, 1 each.
Are Canadians the most servile and sheepish people in history? Restaurants and hair salons have been shut for about six months and they won’t open any time soon and no one really seems to care.

They have their rugged individualists in flyover country, but they have No second amendment.
So unlike Geddy Lee, they didn’t choose Freewill?
Two seconds into watching His Dark Materials, which is a great name and I’m glad they used it for the series, I hate it already. Immediate exposition dump about a central premise of the novels which could pretty easily have been explained visually, with a good deal of valuable emotional exploitation. It’s been twenty years or whatever since I read the series, but the whole excision deal? They could show that later on, in the north pole scene, and make the connection that (ideally) they’d have built up the whole time we’ve gotten to know whatshername and her daemon. I don’t remember a lot about this series, but I’m pretty sure that would have been a major twist and maybe even a tearjerker moment.
Nah, dump it in the opening fucking credits. Which, by the way, get no better. It’s YA novel territory. Who cares about immersion or world-building? Oh a child with a destiny? My god TELL ME MORE. By which I mean print more words on the screen rather than exploiting this bizarre, offputting technology which is filmography, I’ve heard so much about it and seen so little, I’m just an unfrozen caveman etc
Try somDark Stare instead.
This seems really familiar. Very Douglas Adams.
Also if we are supposed to support modernity and oppose traditions, customs and social norms should libertarians support lockdowns, mask mandates, mandatory vax, mask mandates and vaccine passports since they are in fact modern customs and social norms?
“Also if we are supposed to support modernity and oppose traditions”
Who said that WE are supposed to support those things? They sound like generalizations to me.
Woops I meant oppose traditions, customs and social norms. I really screwed that one up.
By that I mean conservatives and reactionaries are about the past and libertarians are about the future so we should the new normal and the next nornal wharever they may be.
I think we should just be about whatever the fuck we want.

The Unitarians I grew up around were always going on about questioning authority. Until I questioned theirs.
“But that’s different!”
Did my time as a UU minister’s wife 25+ years ago, and it was OK enough at the time. No interest in getting back involved. From descriptions of their services on the local congregation’s website, they seem much more tolerant of religious “diversity” than of political “diversity.” Fun fact, though – met my first real-life libertarian at my ex’s church – econ prof at the local university. Wonder how he’s holding up in the current academic environment.
A Unitarian Universalist married a Jehovah’s Witness. Their children go around knocking on doors but have nothing to say.
When UUs come to a crossroad where one sign points to “Heaven” and the other points to “Discussion about Heaven,” they invariably pick the latter.
Favorite line from a musical revue at a UUA General Assembly (sung to the tune of Always True to You in My Fashion from Kiss Me Kate:
When the minister mentions God, half the congregation nods,
And if God gets half a nod, hip hip hooray!
Everybody’s got religion in their fashion,
Everybody’s got religion in their way.

Just got done dozing through Plan 9 from Outer Space, which Tom T wanted to see just because he never had and wanted to know what all the fuss was about. We concluded the operative term was “lame,” and he was satisfied to have seen it but has no desire to ever see it again.
Please tell me you’ve seen “Ed Wood”…
If not, please rectify that immediately.
I have not, but Ben Mank-you-wits on TCM mentioned it favorably after the movie ended. I’ll keep an eye out for it.
I saw Ed Wood before I watched Plan 9. Not sure if it helped or hurt.
I’ve never actually seen more than clips of Plan 9, but I laughed so hard at Ed Wood in the theater that people in front of us turned around to check on us.
*starts petting angora sweater*
I remember laughing hysterically at the Lugosi stand-in when I first saw Plan 9 in college, but I imagine I’d been drinking. Drugs and/or alcohol improve that particular viewing experience immensely.
Fun fact about Plan 9. One general is played by the dad of the founder of salon.com
Oh and cowboy star Tom Keene is in the movie. He reminds me of that sidler guy from Seinfeld…
I’m not sure which is the more shameful association – with the film or with the website. [Disclaimer: I have almost never read anything at Salon.]

Do we have the will to continue to exist as a free and polite society, steeped in the ideas of liberty, reason, and justice? Or have we succumbed to a tragic case of civilizational fatigue where we are now disinterested in holding onto what we used to be? Without a serious commitment to reclaiming our freedom and prosperity, we put ourselves on the path towards becoming a washed-up, has-been civilization, weighed down by an authoritarian boot of our own design.

I can’t participate but I have 2 qualified friends that are picking up the bees and putting them in the brood boxes, feeding them, etc. My partner is out of pocket today but will be back next week end to start the work of watching the bees work. I’ll be house bound for another month but hopefully at that time I can be an observer of bees anyway.
Very cool (below freezing this morning) to start the season but the bees will be flying by tomorrow, looking for their groceries.

I am guessing the unusually cool and wet weather we have had this year. Kinda sucks because they will have a hard time putting up enough reserves for winter at this point so i am not sure if I should even start then this year since I will end up feeding them which I don’t really like to do. And now I will have to figure out what to do with all the fruit and berries from my orchard that I usually turn i to melomel. Does anyone know if you can eat fruit?
Yes, you can, but whatever you do, don’t eat those “tomato” things! They’re deadly poison!!
Good morning, snek! I no step on you!
Good morning to y’all miscreants.
What about the rest of us?

Ghost gun

::looks up etymology of “miscreant”:: ***SIGH!!!*** Guilty, I guess.
Good morning, Sean!
