“Anti-CCP protests break out worldwide as Chinese students demonstrate in key cities”
I bet not a single one of the WEF Global Reset assholes likes this happening…
Apple is going to have to sabotage a lot more iPhones.
My big conundrum is what illogic has people now that we clearly see Apple is doing it to the iPhones in China, that all other Apple users have not had this done to them already or that when convenient that it won’t be done to them…
Apple can’t lock me out of my state-issued iPhone – I’ve already done that to myself.
My company had a policy where idiots could opt to use their private phones (iPhones) to get work related content, but to do so they had to sign paperwork to allow the company to do whatever it wanted to their phone (updates & snooping) and also confiscate their phones if the company demanded it no matter what the reason. They recently extended the policy for Android users. They were surprised I told them fuck no.
My company requires mobile device management to access some corporate resources (email, teams, …). I told them if they want me to access those from a phone they need to issue me a phone. I’m not putting that on my phone.
Same at both companies I’ve worked at. One had the option of them paying for your existing phone, but you had to sign over control of the number to them. Several people go burned when they left the company and couldn’t get their old number back.
I prefer a work and a personal phone. That way I can leave the work phone at home/in the hotel when I’m traveling on PTO.
“Biden’s Secret Service rental vehicles burst into flames after he left Nantucket vacation”
Was that to get rid of evidence to some crime or another? Were the carpets covered in parmesan cheese? Was another Hunter laptop missing and they decided to just make sure it was not found and burned down all vehicles just to make sure? or was this just Kamala doing her thing before they remove her?
From the pics it appears that just the engine compartments caught fire. It’s perplexing, strange coincidence. My best guess is this is a message from someone – “We can get to you any time we want.” There doesn’t seem to be a simple explanation, though I’m sure Occam will come along in time.
Occam’s razor is thus:
There was a recall on some Ford SUVs regarding battery flammability issues.
These vehicles were parked close together
One ignited and the fire spread.
Should have kept them at least six feet apart.
Stop the Spread? Nice.
Or my rodent hypothesis below.
Also plausible.
Bar Association Drops LSAT Requirement to Increase Diversity in Law School
The Bar exam is now optional.
“Bar Association Drops LSAT Requirement to Increase Diversity in Law School”
That’s a big self-own.
Yup — kind of hard to spin that as anything other than “We must lower our standards to let the Approved People in”.
I want a different lawyer. Mine looks different than me.
The schools that did this with the SAT reversed course no more than a year or two after trying this idiocy. They are dumbing down all professions by design it feels like. Shit like this was the plan from the get go with the “Healthcare is a human right” crowd. Dumbing down people in law and medicine is a good way to give government this weapon to weild.
Affirmative action in medicine is straight up evil.
You are literally going to hear people asking for a “white doctor”.
Woke like it’s 1955!
I was having some tune up surgery done, they asked if Dr Japanese-American was all right. I asked, “Is he good”. The nurse said, “He’s the best”. I told her,”That’s the one I want”. Turned out she was right.
“California Releases Thousands of Convicted Pedophiles Within a Year of Conviction”
If it was anywhere but California, I would wonder how many of these people were just railroaded by some asshole prosecutor, but it being California, I bet these are the worst of the worst, and they did this on purpose. There is an agenda there working its way out.
Honestly, I think the agenda is a combination of “Prisoners cost too much money and the judges keep slamming the prisons for overcrowding, so let ’em all out” (Newsom) and “Prisons are icky… ewwww…” (woke DAs).
In their walled compounds with private security it won’t matter, after all.
And desperate people will accept any deal. Even one that fucks them over hard, for merely the promise that government will make things better.
Finally, our long, national nightmare is over…
Because they have this authority under Article FYTW of the constitution.
Requiring the federal government to recognize all marriages that are legal in the state where they took place seems Constitutional, if you accept that the federal government has policies dependent on marriage in the first place.
When this passes, I fully expect a fresh nightmare of lawsuits against religious organizations not following the script with same sex couples. They made sure to shoot down any amendments that might prevent that, so I have to assume that’s the intent of the bill and the ambulance chaser brigade is ready and waiting. Colorado Baker? Pshaw… that’s nothing! Hold our Chardonnay!
Worse(?) – the bill strips tax exempt status from any church that doesn’t tow the woke lion. You may not like tax exempt status for churches (I don’t), but the one thing worse than tax exempt status for churches is tax exempt status only for politically favored churches.
Yeah — that seems like an insta-win freedom of religion / can’t discriminate on basis of religion to me… but I’m sure the courts will find a way to weasel around it.
Freedom of conscience and personal beliefs vs. “Freedom of State Approved Organizations only” is a sticking point for me, especially after the possible “religious only — and by that we mean you have to have recognized clergy sign off… don’t care about your actual personal beliefs!” exemption mess in 2021 and all.
“Tax exemption is a privilege.” I hold little hope for the courts overturning that particular provision.
That “recognized churches only” exemption was a flat out violation of DOL guidance. And Nothing Else Happened.
Just like the CCP vets Roman Catholic bishops, and I believe in some places has installed bishops the Vatican doesn’t recognize as legit.
I thought the investiture controvercy was dealt with when there was still a holy roman emperor.
“Twitter Stops Enforcing COVID-19 ‘Misleading Information’ Policy”
So they are done enforcing the government imposed mandates that help the global reset mandarinate gaslight gullible people into allowing these scumbags to speed up the plan to kill between 6 and 7.5 billion humans and make the majority of the rest serfs to the new global bosses?
“Hypemaster Elon Musk’s Boring Company Abandons Proposed Projects Across the Country”
I guess they weren’t that interesting.
They seem to have just had tunnel vision — focusing on the marketing but not the execution. You know the drill.
Seems tube a pretty long, drawn out problem.
Sounds like he gave a lot of people the shaft.
They just couldn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel.
A UPS delivery guy was responsible for initiating the inquiry that led to the Waco siege. This shit ain’t even a little bit new.
“Stock market could plunge another 24% next year, Bank of America warns”
The Dow is back to 33, so who knows? It’s where people with money have their money, and politicians tend to get re-elected when the stock market is up, so lots of incentive there.
I also don’t see bonds, commodities, crypto, or real estate being reliable now either.
The agenda of creating a digital currency so government can do whatever it wants to you and leave you without recourse requires the existing system be destoryed so people are desperate enough to accept any and all false promises of help. See the student loan shennanigans..
Since it is BoA — I’m just assuming there’s money to be made making that statement somehow… increase sales (and commissions) before the end of the year… who knows.
Even gold seems way underpriced given what the economy is doing.
“Montana AG Concerned UPS and FedEx Working With Biden Admin to Track American Gun Owners”
They have been very clear that they want to disarm the law abiding populous. We should be worried about how much of this shit is going on that we simply don’t know about.
ISTR BATFE requesting the customer lists from holster manufacturers. There’s no federal law prohibiting them from making a database of holster owners, after all.
WTF?
My bad, it wasn’t the ATF.
It was the census bureau.
WTF??
WTF? I guess it is difficult to justify your bureaucratic bloat through the decade without mission creep.
Their thirst for data is unquenchable. They don’t need to shape any policies around shipping, they need to leave it alone.
What about all the innocents who keep their dildo collections in holsters?
“Cocks not Glocks”
When the FBI comes to confiscate my guns I will tell them their DB is doing them a disservice, because I have a holster fetish and I will ask them if they want to see my cock holsters… I have a list of my ex girlfriends…
“Stock market could drop 24 %…”
Or more. Or less.
Or we get a visit from SMOD
You are such a cynic Fourscore!
Why you probably laughed when the Minnesoda weather guys said there was a 50% chance that we could have above normal snow fall levels this year.
Talk about going out on a limb. At least they weren’t crazy enough to predict a 50-50 chance it could be below normal this year!
There is a growing concern among economists and some lawmakers over the impact of higher interest rates on the U.S. economy, and there is a broad consensus on Wall Street that the Fed will trigger a recession with its war on inflation.
But locking down the economy and destroying “nonessential” businesses over an imaginary existential threat is just fine.
They had a plan. It is called a global reset. This was by design.
You’re not going to stop inflation without creating a recession (or worse). The math is pretty clear on this one.
We MMT now, the money supply has nothing to do with prices.
Of course not, it’s probably greedy corporations:
The mystery of rising prices. Are greedy corporations to blame for inflation? (TW: NPR)
How do corporations suddenly wake up greedy? The notion that they were totally selfless until 1 year ago is silly.
Gee, why does that happen?
Morning, Banjos — no offense to you or your links, but I kind of wish today was a Saturday. Kind of curious who OMWC would come up with for birthdays… Mark Twain is the only one I always remember… nice to know there have been other cantankerous coots born on this day in the past.
You kind of implying today is your b-day?
Ever so subtly…. like a freight train. 😉
I guess we’ll have to leave you out of the unbirthday celebrations.
happy unbirthday
If that’s where UCS was going with the unbirthday thing.. then yeah, happy unbirthday as well, UCS. I wasn’t sure what that meant… which I suppose underlies my lack of subtlety more than anything else.
Happy B-day SDF.
Thank you, sir.
You’re unwelcome? You probably intended that for Alex. Still, happy birthday. May you have many more.
Precisely so — WP threading only gave me the reply on your comment’s level.
Happy Birthday, Young Man, may you enjoy many more. If you don’t enjoy them you can always blame the government or Climate Change
Heh… this is the one day a year I really, really try not to think about politics as best I can. So I’ll try not to use that excuse (and try to enjoy the day anyway).
Barring talking with the rest of y’all, of course. 😉
Do love being of the age that only around here am I still the young whippersnapper.
Happy Birthday, SDF-7!
Thank you!
Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!
Happy birthday, whippersnapper! Keep snappin’ those whips!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
Hey, let’s not jump to conclusions!
Just say “Today is my birthday” like I did last week. I don’t think anyone here would be offended. 🙂
And Happy Birthday!
To be perfectly honest? Part of why I didn’t want to just phrase it flat out was to throw any bot scrapers off the scent.
Yes, I can be that paranoid about personal data on the internet, I’m afraid. 😉
And thank you (and Tundra just below).
No need to apologize. If anything you aren’t going far enough. *adjusts tin foil hat*
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Age is just a number. I mean the number is a count of miscellaneous aches, but it is still just a number.
This.
I saw a couple of articles about that marriage thing which pushed the claim that it would somehow or other “legalize” interracial marriage, and that made it essential.
Is interracial marriage still even an issue?
According to the old white dudes at the bar if there are more interracial couples in TV commercials than demographics would suggest there should be it’s a big problem.
And don’t even get them started on the queers.
I will admit, we played a round of “spot the white guy” in commercials during the Thanksgiving football games. Our favorite were the commercials where there is a white woman, no man, and a couple of interracial kids. They neatly avoided any toxic masculinity and waved their woke flag.
I wonder what the producers and studios casting black people in their productions to avoid greenmail lawsuits from grievance hucksters like Sharpton complain about at the bar.
A lack of backbone?
Wypipo?
So I work in advertising. I’ve done TV commercials. I always tried to cast diversity (before woke) just because it tended to be more interesting to look at.
They produce mixed-race children that can’t easily be put in oppressor/victim boxes?
Talcum X on line 1…
transblacks are blacks
The U.S. Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act on Tuesday in a bipartisan vote of 61 to 36, which will require the federal government to recognize all marriages, including same-sex marriages, that are legal in the state where they took place.
I missed the part in the constitution where the feds have any business regulating/recognizing marriage.
It’s clause FY of Article TW.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CI3rgO8B8E
Once again the “conservatives” are somewhere to the left of 2008 Obama. They’ve never conserved anything.
Being a 90s business Dem (i.e. Trump/MAGA) makes one a far-right nazi.
What are those 36 objecting to? I can’t believe they have a principled objection to the expansion of fedgov power, and I also can’t believe they’d be willing to be openly homophobic.
“I missed the part in the constitution where the feds have any business regulating/recognizing marriage.”
They do recognize marriage for taxes, benefits, etc. If you want to get rid of all that, fine, but they aren’t.
Passing a law requiring religious people to participate in gay marriages against their will to prevent the federal government from not recognizing gay and interracial marriages, which isn’t actually happening, is a solution in search of a problem.
If you want to get rid of all that
I do.
Yes, I want. Also get rid of the taxes and benefits.
Not going to happen.
Schucks!
whaddup doh’
TALL CANS!
( got 4 of ’em)
“The U.S. Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act on Tuesday in a bipartisan vote of 61 to 36, which will require the federal government to recognize all marriages, including same-sex marriages, that are legal in the state where they took place.”
So the opposite of DOMA?
Anyway, no idea how this does anything after the SCOTUS decision.
IANAL, but SCOTUS deciding there isn’t a constitutional right hidden in the penumbras doesn’t invalidate any kind of federal law.
Considering this one has sections (iirc) about how it overrides any state laws to the contrary, there could be an issue if the Court decides the Feds shouldn’t be screwing around here.
Anything that really is just enforcing the “full faith and credit” role between States would likely survive regarding just contracts themselves, of course.
“Full faith and credit”… you mean like concealed carry permits?
You can’t give full faith and credit to enumerated rights!
/New York
Hawaii waves hello.
It doesn’t — they were freaked out by Thomas’s concurring opinion that maybe the Court should revisit in general whether the Feds had any business in a lot of areas (including gay marriage) or if they should be left to the states… so their official story is they’re trying to preempt that.
How that would josh with a decision where the Court actually said the Feds have no business in it I don’t see (since “no business” == “no business, including this law” after all), which leads me to believe the real purpose is to make crippling lawsuits on any Heretics, Kulaks and Wreckers easier as mentioned above. And of course the squishies of the GOPe went right along…. because they might miss a cocktail party invite if they look icky!
It finishes destroying the definition of marriage.
Well, except the icky kinds, like polygamy. Those aren’t real marriages, because reasons.
It does not destroy the definition of marriage.
Most of the heavy lifting was already done.
OK, grandpa.
I don’t think it destroys the definition of marriage, but it does further damage to the concept of a limited gov’t. And, further, by forcing others to reject their own opinions on who can be married while not being truly inclusive of other types of marriage such as inter familial, polygamous, and so on, it does not do what it proports to achieve.
In other words, it is simply another tool of censorship, in this case thought censorship.
Chinese students across the world have taken to the streets in a solidarity protest with the White Paper Revolution protestors opposing lockdowns, Xi Jinping, and the CCP in China.
The trouble is that when the protest ends you are hungry for another one an hour later.
This is huge.
Chinese nationals studying abroad are especially expected to push the state propaganda. They better not return home if they know what is good for them.
Chinese students abroad are also often asked to bring back a specific piece of information, just one, not the full picture. Then the CCP puts together the hundreds of bits of information on a particular topic and effectively has gotten its hands on classified or proprietary information.
Distributed espionage.
This will definitely get interesting.
President Joe Biden’s rented Secret Service vehicles burst into flames in a parking lot Monday, just one day after he left his Nantucket vacation.
Are they using EV’s?
I looked at that. Appeared they were all gas powered. There might have been a hybrid in there. Actually appears suspicious at the moment. All the hoods were burned off.
You know — my Dad had a pickup one that had an engine compartment fire — actually hotwired itself and (he left it in gear with the parking brake on or something… slight hill, I don’t remember all the details) scooted across the road into the woods to smolder against a tree.
Turned out it was a squirrel deciding the wiring harness was both a nice home and a tasty snack — bridged the wrong wires.
Similarly had a field mouse try to use the firewall insulation in a car for a home as well a while back.
So I wouldn’t rule out rodent colony if they were sitting around for a couple of days.
As long as we’re speculating wildly with zero available evidence and all. 😉
More than 7,000 persons convicted of “lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age” have been released in the same year they were convicted. Convicts who committed even more heinous crimes, such as sodomy and rape of children, also served short sentences.
“The world is not ruled by an elite class of pedophiles.”
Contrarian take. If the world was being ruled by pedophiles, why would they release people that they’d have to compete with for underage sex?
They understand the benefits of competitive free trade in increasing supply.
City where human excrement all over the place is a tourist attraction, has a million dollar broken toilet. The jokes write themselves. WTF are these people eating, and how fucking hard is this stuff packed?
SFist heard the on-duty attendant tell a supervisor that “some lady went in there,” and after she came out, the mechanized commode had not lowered back into the sitting position following the self-cleaning cycle.
Uh-huh.
The pictures seem to show the the bowl swings up during the cleaning cycle. Bad, bad design. Nothing the user touches should ever have to move, except the door. Just spray everything down and flush the toilet a couple extra times.

Pat, do you know how to get uBlock to block all the trackers Ghostery does?
I found myself wondering if Pat knows something about it that I don’t that makes it unsuitable — but for Firefox, I use PrivacyBadger for the tracker side of things (along with uBlock Origin for the rest). Seems to work — which may just mean I’m nowhere near as diligent as I should be and all… Only so much time in my day.
Nothing wrong with PrivacyBadger, I just don’t use it myself because I already have multiple tracker lists added to Pi-Hole,
You can import custom lists into uBO, so if you can find the blocklists(s) Ghostery is using you should be able to add them.
OK, I found an article that told me to add lists that no longer exist. Ghostery isn’t open source. (They also keep trying to sell me Ghostery premium or some crap.)
You’re probably already aware of it, but Firebog has a pretty comprehensive collection of blocklists – I use them for the basis of my Pi-Hole.
One thing about Ghostery that I like is that it lists the trackers it finds on each page (both blocked and unblocked). Is there a way to get uBlock to do that? Then I’m thinking I could sort of build my own list by adding them as I go.
If you click on the uBO icon, it will show how many elements were blocked on a page, but it doesn’t differentiate between ads and trackers, or other elements, and I don’t think it can be made to do so, unfortunately.
You can certainly supplement with your own lists. I keep a local blocklist for my Pi-Hole that’s composed of URLs I’ve encountered that snuck through my various filters and blockers over the years. In uBO, once you click on the icon and see the list of blocked elements, you can also click on the “Element Zapper” icon (looks like a little lightning bolt on the bottom left) and use that to manually block unwanted or problematic elements on a page. Once blocked, they’ll be added to the global rules.

Do they have that one weird trick to convince me to read that turgid bafflegab?
It’s a precarious balancing act
In the months that followed, the work behind the scenes by top administration officials with counterparts on Capitol Hill and the key negotiators underscored the scale of the challenge that remained as rank-and-file union members took stock of the deal – and in some cases found it critically lacking.
For Biden, who never misses an opportunity to tout his labor bona fides, and his team, which is stocked with officials carrying close ties to labor, the discontent resurfaced the complex reality his administration confronted in the furious effort to clinch the deal in the first place.
Rank-and-file union members viewed the lack of paid sick leave provisions as a critical omission coming out of the pandemic. Four of the 12 unions party to the negotiations voted to reject the deal their leaders signed off on in September.
Administration officials shared union concerns over the lack of paid sick leave in the agreement, but the agreement represented a compromise they viewed as containing clear wins for workers who had grown more vocal in their serious concerns about their work environments.
More critically, officials noted, the administration wasn’t a party at the negotiating table.
Exceedingly cautious in their efforts not to overstep their legal authority – and keenly aware of the risks of a pro-union administration being seen as putting its thumb on the scale during negotiations between the two sides – officials served in a mediation and convening role.
Does anybody important really give a shit what the rank and file want? They managed to keep the pot from boiling over until after the election, and that’s what matters. When it comes right down to it, fascists want the trains to run on time.
Oh, right… ‘orning ‘ordles… I was kind of hoping for a good day to celebrate… but nah — I suck.

Tell me you are an authoritarian cunte without telling me you are an authoritarian cunte.
“I’m talking about that very night after this thing was shut down, after they lost their attempted coup, their overthrow, whatever it was, they, a 147 Republicans went back into that chamber and voted to say, no, Joe Biden is not the president. And they would not certify. They voted against certifying what every state said that yes, this is real, this happened, he’s the president of the United States. And for 147 of them to try to obstruct, to try and stop the legal and fair and everything certified mostly by a lot of Republican secretary of states, that to me and I think to the people watching this, not only who the real Benedict Arnold was that was on the podium encouraging everybody, I’m marching with you down to the Capitol building, but also, the 147 Republicans, a number of which have been returned, I think there’s something like 109 are back in the next session of Congress, that was, to me, a seditious act.”
There is a vote on the matter for a reason, you fat fuck.
Tell us how great Cuba is again, Mikey.
At least half the country is brainwashed into believing whatever the media/education/government complex spits out even though they say they don’t trust the any of them. It’s all fear and tribal affiliation.
We’re culturally broken. This won’t rectify itself until we go through some very hard times, and maybe not even then.
Voting Republican is also sedition.
And how many Democrats refused to certify Trump?
Are they also traitors?
Does the Secret Service use their own fuel in rental cars?
Probably not. If you are renting from the airport, I can’t see caring about the fuel you use. I am surprised they rented from the Hertz lot at the airport. With all the graft and spending I expected them to have their own fleet.
Which is worse – putting gas in a diesel engine or putting diesel in a gas engine?
The expense of fixing the diesel is much higher. Your injectors and high pressure pump would not appreciate it.
And modern diesel fuel rails operate at 20,000 psi or more. The gas fuel might ignite during the injection spray for all I know
Oh jeez, both are bad. Diesel in a gas engine completely ruins it. so I would go with that. Neither causes blazing fires (usually) instead you end up with a lot of gummed up parts. Fixing a diesel that accidentally got gas in it is doable. The other way round wrecks everything from fuel pump though injectors.
“Diesel in a gas engine completely ruins it.”
It probably depends how much. People put all sorts of things in gas — ATF, Marvel Mystery Oil, etc — to clean injectors and whatnot.
I believe it’s putting diesel into a regular gas engine, I don’t even think the nozzles will fit.
For some reason it has been happening a lot lately. Some cheesedick working for a car magazine just did it and wrote about it. Somehow he got it to fit in there. Must have STEVE SMITH blood.
I thought he put gas in a diesel, not the other way around.
Could be. My mind is much lately.
mush.
they, a 147 Republicans went back into that chamber and voted to say, no, Joe Biden is not the president. And they would not certify.
Call me crazy (and ignorant) but wasn’t that more of an “are we really SURE he was elected, at this time?” vote?
After all, it’s not like they black-bagged him to a secure undisclosed location.
Tell us how great Cuba is again, Mikey.
Say what you will about Castro, but he knew how to run an election.
I’m pretty sure the feds do not have constitutional authority over state elec – oh, never mind. Nobody cares.
Georgia— if Raphael Warnock wins, Democrats are one vote away from ending the filibuster.
That will allow Dems to pass the Corrupt Politicians Act:
❌Strike down every photo ID law in the country
❌Legalize ballot harvesting
Support @HerschelWalker!
Ah, Republicans will have a majority in the House. Does he expect them to pass that?
Someone ‘splain the filibuster thingy.
For regular legislation, they can’t vote to skip debate and go to a vote without sixty senators. This means they keep getting threatened with people talking at them for hours past their party invites on the stuff they really want to shove through, but they also need enough votes to change the rules to lower the threshold but they don’t have them.
Right now the threat to keep talking is a moderating factor on some of the obviously bad shit.
None of them apparently watched Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
“This means they keep getting threatened with people talking at them for hours”
That part is no longer necessary.
Enough Repubs crossed over for the marriage bill. And the Repubs will have a thin majority in the Senate, so it will only take a few there. I would not be shocked if the Voting Insecurity Bill passes.
Article I, Section IV, Clause I allows Congress to override the States for Congressional elections:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
Dropping off the new CZ at the gunsmith’s over lunchtime. Since I had to make sure all my papiern were in ordnung, I went ahead and recertified* my license.
A couple of interesting(?) things. Mainly that the license was issued and updated at the country sheriff’s office, but the recert is done by the staties. It did NOT have my most recent additions on it from late September, but I don’t know if that’s just because of bureaucracy lag or if it reflects the new carry bans that were recently passed. I added those. While my license lists a CZ pistol, that is not an option in the state database. I wonder how many people know to look for Czeska Zbrojovka.
I’ll talk to the guys as the shop about how non-pistol license holders get semiauto rifle licenses.
*There is apparently a difference between “renewing” and “recertifying.”
I’m wondering if the court will get fed up with the legislature and go “You know what, you had your chance – it’s constitutional carry for you now.”
I know, I’m dreaming.
Most people with long COVID face stigma, skepticism from others
There is, of course, zero possibility that long COVID disproportionately affects neurotic people with a persecution complex who might report being stigmatized in a self-reported poll.
There appears to be a new victim class sprouting up every week.
I’d bet money these people also have gluten allergies or whatever trend allergy there is.
Is there not a Lazy Ass Syndrome? My wife seems to think that’s what I have.
I’ve heard of a lazy eye…is Lazy Ass Syndrome where one butt cheek does all the work and the other is just along for the ride?
I was born with a condition known as dick. I’ve had it for decades. At this point I’m going with long dick.
Can’t shake it?
Well, people with a persecution complex, or just hypochondriacs whose coworkers and friends know they are full of crap. I know a guy, who I would bet just about anything has long covid even though I have not seen him in years. The bet would be safe, because he already has migraines that show up whenever he has anything the least bit difficult to do and chronic fatigue syndrome. People with anxiety issues are conditioned from childhood to get sick to avoid stressful situations. Every few years we rediscover this fact in the form of a new disease with variable symptoms and no clear cause.

“NYC mother-of-three who slammed into group of BLM protesters – sending 50 flying across Third Ave – when they attacked her car during 2020 protests refuses to take plea deal
The Howard Beach, Queens, mom has previously claimed the demonstrators had come up to her car and called her ‘a white privilege b**ch’ before banging on the vehicle.
She said she then panicked and hit the gas when they tried to open the doors of her vehicle, which led to nine activists being injured.”

Yep.
Once they try to pull you out of the vehicle hitting the gas doesn’t qualify as panic.
Judged by 12, carried by 6 and all that. Unfortunately, she’s probably fucked. Not becoming the next Reginald Denny is a serious offense.
Reminds me of that case with the libertarian activist that got plugged after he and a group of BLM tacticool guys forced a car off the road for the crime of driving on a public street and then thought he was gonna play fucking cowboy and shoulder his AK-47 at the driver. I’m fairly certain the hagiography that Reason.com wrote for him was my last visit to the site and my last time describing myself as a “libertarian”.
Why let Reason define was a libertarian is? Call yourself whatever you want.
It was more about the retard who got plugged touting himself as a libertarian activist than Reason, although I’d be lying if I said that the Koch sphere of influence, including the Libertarian Party, being the most public face of the brand didn’t also play a role. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a coherent definition of the term anyway. If the majority of people using it disagree with my views then I’ll just call myself something else.
I go with “Supreme Leader, Sovereign and Protector of the Realm.”

“A prominent Republican governor has banned TikTok for her state’s agencies due to the ‘growing national security’ threat posed by the Chinese-owned app.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem Tuesday signed an executive order that bans employees and contractors from downloading or using the app on any state device.
In a statement released Tuesday, Gov. Noem said she refuses to be party to any efforts made by the Chinese Communist Party to obtain information that could be used to indoctrinate American youth.
‘South Dakota will have no part in the intelligence gathering operations of nations who hate us,’ the governor said.”

I think TikTok is cancer, but that won’t make any difference.
What state agency was using TikTok for official purposes anyway?
IDK if there were any, but that doesn’t mean state employees weren’t using it on state devices for themselves.
^^^This. On my FedGov phone we have a prohibited list. Not sure if TikTok or other socials are blocked, but they should be considering the ridiculous amounts of InfoSec training we receive that a boogeyman is just lurking under every rock.
Is it canon that The Flintstones takes place **after** The Jetsons?
Fall of civilization and etc?
No, it is canon that they take place at the same time. There was even a crossover.
I believe the Jetson era was a subset of the Flintstones, so rise and fall of an advanced civilization.
Excellent tie-in.
That is even better. I knew there was a crossover, but I thought it involved time travel.

It did.
Bah, that time machine didn’t work, it just teleported them to the surface.

It doesn’t prevent my theory that the time machine went forward instead of backwards.
Yes, but then you have to explain how the dinosaurs and all the other extinct creatures are no longer extincted.

Montana AG Concerned UPS and FedEx Working With Biden Admin to Track American Gun Owners
I’m seeing a lot more videos about the ATF starting to go door to door after John Doe suburban gun owners. And training videos for the ATF of the same.
New regulations are planned for release in December that make AR pistols and pistol braces considered SBRs and millions of Americans will become felons overnight unless they register under the amnesty. The ATF will then start pulling the FFL forms and pistol brace purchases to go after the millions who don’t take the amnesty.
About 95% of people living with long COVID say they’ve experienced at least one type of stigma, and three out of four say they are stigmatized “often” or “always” by their condition, researchers report.
aka malingerers
Ahem. The appropriate nomenclature is “quiet quitter” and it’s a signal of Gen Z empowerment against the crushing oppression of capitalism and having to work for a living.
Until they drive nails through their palms, I’m not going to believe they’re stigmatized.

Ass Wednesday.
I lost it 5th pic down with the sad looking dog staring through the glass door.
I had to go back and look, Hilarious!
I thought that was WTF (the poster here, not the situation).
I suspect a little photoshop in that gallery.
Maybe.
Imagine not realising Kanye is a plant, seeding anti-Semitism within the right, creating a pretext for new federal crack downs, and years of negative press targeted at swing voters.
Yeah this dude just gave up his family and his billions and none of his long standing friends and colleagues he came up with are doing anything about it sure sure
Either wat he is probably being used.
I don’t have that difficult a time believing that ol’ Ye really is that fucking crazy.

CCP protests are a good thing to see. The problem is none seem to have any irony.
No lockdown,but freedom!
No lies, but dignity!
No Cultural Revolution, but reform!
No supreme leaders, but votes!
No slaves, but citizens
Welcome to the party pal. Where were you 2 years ago?
They weren’t fed up then.
It’s interesting how countries that were subjectively more free that China didn’t have these types of protests against lockdowns.
We got lockdown-lite at best and that for not very long… they have been dealing with the real thing for 2+ years now.
I saw a report that their lockdowns also include “social credit” lockouts. People who don’t comply are losing their apartments and being forced onto the streets (accompanied by a video of a block lined with tents). Yeah, they got it a lot harder than anyone in the West did.
Puts the lie to the idea that the ChiComs cooked it up to cripple the West. They are shooting their own economy in the dick with their lockdowns. Also puts the lie to the theory the ChiComs cooked it up to kill off their old people (I think). If so, why not just let it run?
I still think it is cover for getting rid of dissidents.
Decision making is strange. At work I have no issues going “Proceed with this course of action” or “get X information from Y so we can figure out where to go from here”. Outside of work I hem and haw about every little thing.
I absolutely fucking hate cute little business buzzwords like “analysis paralysis”, but it fits me.
I’ve heard analysis paralysis more in board gaming circles then in the corporate world.
That is a term I have not heard in a long time. A long time.
I suspect I overthink things when not at work to avoid impulse buys. I dislike the side effect of wasted time though.
Measure twice, cut once.
Decide and forget. Erasures are on pencils for a reason.
Erasures are on YouTube, too.
Easier to be decisive with other people’s money? Or just harder to accept the risks with your own?
Kind of the same boat with our looming rent versus buy decision on a house.
We don’t get to spend money at work. This is technical troubleshooting. Management’s idea of being decisive is telling me we need it fixed (as if I didn’t know) My direct reports are still a bit indecisive, so I have to make the decisions (I still encourage them to make judgement calls, but there are times when it’s easier to just tell them Do Z)
Of course, everyone around these here parts knows my thoughts on buying/owning houses, which is definitely the minority opinion, but if I were not averse to buying, I’d still rent first while I shopped with leisure.
We cleared a decent amount of money from the sale of our old house that’s sitting in it’s own account doing nothing right now because the stock market looks bad. Buying a house right now with cash avoids about $28k in rent next year – versus maybe $1500 in property taxes.
So the question is – will the type of houses we are interested in drop in price by that much next year?
No clue.
I’m on the same boat, but I’m not confident that the prices around here will drop enough to get me excited.
On the flip side, we really dig the place we are in, the area and the neighbors. Still kind of feels like vacation.
Yeah I think timing is going to suck for us when we are ready to depart Nevada.
“CIA and Mossad and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and caribbean islands. They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex gf who was a spy. They will torture me to death.”

“This man is now dead. He was a crypto millionaire named Nikolai Mushegian. He died in a mysterious drowning in Puerto Rico—4 hours after sending this tweet. He was fully clothed and had his wallet on him. These are the facts.”
https://twitter.com/RealCandaceO/status/1597619580352200704
Who knows?
I don’t have much doubt the CIA/Mossad run an entrapment blackmail ring. Kiddie sex would be an easy method. All you’ve got to do is get them in the same room with video or plant it on their computer.
If I can imagine it, then they’re doing it. Why wouldn’t they? They’re not accountable to anyone and they intend to keep it that way.
They run the exact same scheme with of age women/men all the time so of course they’re doing it with the underaged.
That was Epstein’s job. Going to the island and being filmed having sex with a kid is how you became ‘made’ in DC and how they controlled you. All those tapes disappeared when the FBI showed up.
DC is completely out of control. The idea that we have any say over what they do is laughable.
Darryl Cooper’s series covered some of this. There was a boys’ home in the UK that became a prominent IC location for blackmailing pedo elites.
Don’t help the kids, of course. Evil fucks.
I bet that you could make a decent case that journalists took a wrong turn when they stopped being raging drunks. Ever since they started teaching journalism in college it seems like they have been running away from their history as hard drinking cynics.
Case in point, I keep reading stories like this one where some journalo insists that there is a huge market for non alcoholic drinks. Mocktails. Craft NA beer. They keep telling us we should love them and give them a try.
I’m sure that there are some people who like booze without the hooch, but they could hold conventions in a phone booth. Seems like the nerdy kids who kept telling us how “getting high on life” would be so much better than underage drinking in the woods on Friday nights.
Maybe it is because journalos are terrified of getting tipsy and having a hookup with some shrew who decides months later that she was raped and ruins their career?
Nonalcoholic drinks are good for former boozehounds who wish they could still drink and that’s about it. The alcohol’s the best part.
I’ve been known to have a nonalcoholic fuzzy navel (sans schnapps) with breakfast from time to time….
I think McDonald’s even sells them to kids! And sometimes they’re in schools!
When was the last time you drank straight mixer?
Last night. I polished off the last bottle of Navy Hill tonic water. Sucked in G&Ts, but it was okay by itself.
I occasionally have orange juice without champagne in it. Is that a mocktail?
You people are degenerates!
“Seems like the nerdy kids who kept telling us how “getting high on life” would be so much better than underage drinking in the woods on Friday nights”
You made that up Jimbo, the part about the nerdy kids. Shirley those cars/trucks that zoom past my house on Friday nights are all headed for a late evening fishing trip, right?
I’ve had a couple of NA beers (all free, and at beerfests, I figure it replaced water) that weren’t bad. But considering they sell at the same damned price point as regular beer, I’ll stick to the regular beer.
There’s been a trend in the cocktail world for the past several years for low proof cocktails as well as mocktails (I’m happy for the second one, because the girlfriend gets to get a fancy drink when she’s driving me to some of the cocktail bars that way). There’s multiple companies making NA spirits as well… which seems wrong to me.
The whole point of spirits is to contain alcohol. The different varieties are all “What do you want your alcohol to taste like?”
The one that gets me is someone out there is making alcohol free vodka, and people are fucking buying it!
Bottled water?
You’d think… but no. At least gin, whisk(e)y, tequila, rum, and the like are supposed to have flavors.
Journalists used to be tough working class guys who couldn’t be controlled – not brainwashed Columbia grads.
Tons of the legendary journalists from history got their start working on the presses or setting type. Then they got a chance to start reporting. Definitely tough working class backgrounds who understood how the world worked a lot better than those Columbia grads.

House Democrats are turning to a new generation of leaders to take the helm in the next Congress, and are poised to make history as they elect a new slate on Wednesday.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., 52, is running unopposed to serve as House Minority Leader starting in January. He is 30 years younger than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and will become the first Black person to lead a major political party in Congress.

Nanette Barragan, D-Calif., who was elected in 2016, told NPR she was excited about the major shift in who will lead her party in the House. She pointed out that she and Jeffries come from similar backgrounds, with working class parents. “He understands what it’s like to be a person of color, the discrimination that we face — as he likes to say it’s about standing up for the left behind and the folks who aren’t really having that say at the table.” She said his style is to listen to the various factions inside the caucus and said he’s traveled extensively around the country to visit with lawmakers in their districts.
The poster children of racist oppression, living a life of poverty and despair. There is no hope for black people in America.
The sad part is they really seem to believe that they suffer discrimination. Despite the fact of affirmative action, diversity quotas, that any criticism of them by wypipo is attacked as racist no matter how valid, that it’s labeled racist to hold POC responsible for their actions, choices, and failures rather than blaming mythical systemic racism, etc. etc.
Indoctrination really does work.

That’s it. Just now I became an Elon Musk fan boi. If you go to a Twitter page, and you’re not logged in, and you scroll down, it no longer cuts off the feed and makes you log in. You can now scroll down as long as you want. IT’S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!
I noticed – that was so annoying.
I noticed that last night. I figured it was a mistake. Praise be!
If this is the only thing that comes out of the Twitter takeover it was worth it.
Oh cool, yes that was highly annoying and made me way less likely to click on Twitter links. It also made me less likely to want to sign up for it. I am now considering doing so in a small show of support for what Musk is doing. It’s great how he is making a stand against the bullshit that Apple is pulling.

That is how I feel about that stupid same sex marriage law. All for people getting married to whoever they want. Marriage should just be a simple contract that is handled like any other contract. But passing a federal law?
Show me in the constitution where the Feds were given any power to regulate marriages.
I have no problem with gay marriage, but yes. It’s unconstitutional.

The law doesn’t force states to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples, it says that other states have to consider them valid, which is certainly constitutional.
Hmm interesting
But the law isn’t necessary for that, right? Doesn’t the full faith and credit clause already apply?
A state must recognize as valid a driver license issued to residents of other states but can invalidate that license when the person moves to the state. Would this be the same?
Reno Nevada used to do big business in invalidating marriage licenses issued in other states because people moved there.
Take considerations of marriage outside of the rest of federal law (e.g. immigration) and I’ll agree.
We’re not there yet.

The Biden engine fires are just weird. There’s no way they each caught fire independently without some kind of hanky-panky. One catching fire would be very unlikely, but it happens. But to spread like that? Car engines don’t have that much that’s flammable, especially when they aren’t running and getting gas fed to them (as far as I know). The only way a parked car could spontaneously ignite would be an electrical short, and there’s just not much on the exterior of a cold engine to burn. It seems vanishingly unlikely the one that spontaneously caught fire would burn hot enough to catch the one next to it on fire, but then to have that happen several times? Not buying it.
I think there was an overlooked fire starter on the grassy knoll.

Crazy man talking crazy
Avideo of Herschel Walker saying that young people “don’t even know” what racism is, and that it’s older people who should be asked if things should change, has emerged on social media as yet more controversy hits the Republican Senate candidate.
In a clip shared by PatriotTakes, a Twitter account monitoring right-wing extremism and more, Walker said: “When you start asking if things should change, go to your mom. Why are you asking an 18-year-old if something is racist? They don’t even know what it is. […] Go to your grandparents and start asking them.”
Walker, who lost the midterms’ Georgia Senate race to Democrat Raphael Warnock with 48.49 percent of the vote against his rival’s 49.44 percent, ran his campaign by playing down charges of systemic and structural racism in American society and laws, saying those were part of “woke culture.”
——-
The recent clip shared on Tuesday by PatriotTakes, extracted from an interview Walker gave with conservative news media The Blaze, immediately received some backlash on Twitter, as people brought forward examples of children and young people experiencing racism and talked about their own experiences of discrimination.
According to a recent study published in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine looking at parental reporting of racism experienced by their children between 2016 and 2020, a growing percentage of indigenous and Black children are experiencing racism in their lives.
The percentage of indigenous children experiencing racism increased from 10.8 percent in 2016 to 15.7 percent in 2020, while the percentage of Black children experiencing discrimination grew from 9.69 percent in 2018 to 15.04 percent in 2020.
That settles it.

Self-reporting by people who are conditioned to perceive racism everywhere is totally reliable.

Some things I had read about it (namely, that it puts tax exempt status at risk) don’t seem to be true. Its more vanilla than I thought. Bottom line: trust no one, especially someone who is validating your priors.
West will pay Kardashian $200,000 per month in child support and will also be responsible for half of the children’s medical, educational and security expenses.
How will they scrape by on that?
So she is going to spend $4.8MM a year just on the kids? If he’s covering half of it, that would be the tab. If I was the court, I would require an annual accounting.
And when the ledger shows $500K per kid annually for pedicures, by what metric is the court going to find that unreasonable, beyond a magistrate saying “well, I cant afford that….” ?
Receipts. Produce them.
They fall on the ‘maintain a lifestyle they enjoyed prior to the separation’ and its totally fucked cause divorse/custody battles usually screw over financials of one and/or both of the parties involved. It is absolutely a terrible metric considering no-fault rulings
I’m guessing she can easily hit 5 million when you factor in the mortgage payments on multiple 7-8 figure properties, luxury vacations, and salaries for household staff (maids, chef).

Some of us had real jobs.
Nothing endears you to the blue collar salt of the earth “folks” like condescending to them and implying they’re too stupid to know fundamental business terms.
It has to be a national strategy on the Democrat’s part. Him, Kamala, the cackling ladies on the View…all have the same condescending speeches to the people
You know, morons.
To be fair, that grifting idiot has never had a real job.
Biden spent Thanksgiving on the ritzy Massachusetts island with his family last week. The Secret Service rented five vehicles from Hertz to carry the president and his family, and all five of them caught fire in the parking lot, according to footage first obtained by the Nantucket Current.
Kamala is sloppy.
File under: Elections Have Consequences
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis put his weight behind dozens of conservative school board candidates across Florida during the midterms. Now they’re in office — and are purging some educational leaders who enforced Covid-19 mandates.
New board members in two GOP-leaning counties essentially sacked their school superintendents over the span of one week. The ousters were spurred by how the superintendents carried out local policies like efforts to support the rights of parents, an issue inflamed by schools imposing student mask mandates last fall in defiance of DeSantis.
And while not tied to the 2022 election, the school board in Broward County earlier this month fired its superintendent through an effort led by five members appointed by DeSantis. All combined, school boards with ties to DeSantis pushed out three superintendents in November alone — and each of them served over districts that implemented student mask mandates.
“We had a wave in school districts that spit in parents’ faces,” said state Rep. Randy Fine (R-Palm Bay), who earlier this year sought to punish schools with mask mandates. “And now the people who did that are gone.”
What’s next? Some sort of crazy nonsense about how the schools should be run for the benefit of the students and not the teachers’ unions?

“California Releases Thousands of Convicted Pedophiles Within a Year of Conviction”
How many of them are actual pedophiles and how many are 18 year olds who sexted their 17 year old GFs? I don’t necessarily trust these numbers.
Another question: Was this just part of a general action where they released a bunch of people from jail? And then someone cherry picked that data and found that some were sex offenders? Not that generally releasing a bunch of people from jail is a good thing, but stories can be misleading from any source.
“Over 2,000 Employers Sign Anti-Woke Pledge to Not Discriminate Against Personal Beliefs, Free Speech of Workers”

States have no standing in the United States…
The Biden administration argued in a Supreme Court immigration case Tuesday that states have no standing to sue the federal government over illegal immigration policies, and courts lack the power to strike them down anyway.
Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas and Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana sued the Biden administration over immigration policy, arguing that so-called enforcement guidelines as developed and administered by the Justice Department and Homeland Security Department violate certain provisions of federal law.
Hey that arguement worked for DACA..so why not try again.
