The shit-fit over The Colbert Show being cancelled pleases SugarFree.
The audience for his whiny bullshit anti-humor is literally dying off. He was losing CBS $40,000,000 a year. The real issue is why wasn’t he cancelled before now. The conspiracy theory I’m going with is that he was propped up with USAID money.

The Trouble With Wanting Men
Women are so fed up with dating men that the phenomenon even has a name: heterofatalism. So what do we do with our desire?
Too many pull-quotes, so I’ll just give you the choicest line:
“Aww, poor baby!” cried the historian, and we all cooed and moaned for the poor wittle fraidy-cat boo-boo, working ourselves into a frenzy of laughter over men’s inability to “man up and [expletive] us.” We were four women at a vegan restaurant in downtown Manhattan; we knew what show we were in, and we couldn’t help but wonder, in a smug, chauvinistic way: Where were the men who could handle hard stuff? Like leaving the house for sex?
What man could resist the charms of these cackling harpies?
In Fruit Sushi news…
Please recover from your shock…
A favorite one-hit wonder from the 90s.
The real issue is why wasn’t he cancelled before now.
No kidding. They would have been better off running dog pound infomercials.
It certainly seems like the “No Kings” protest crowd is his audience / possibly the whiny ass won’t shut up worst of the AWFLs. Dare we hope the younger set (other than the poison frog lot) will get back to some sanity….
Kind of reminds me of the early Bloom County where they go to a college expecting hippies and get proto-yuppie frat boys instead. The pendulum hopefully swings.
And the vegan harpies epitomize “Not with my worst enemy’s dick, ‘ladies'”.
The No Kings protest crowd are astroturf….paid protesters. I doubt anyone not getting paid spent their time on that.
I can see the local hippie retirement set turning out for that. It’s something to do, at least.
He wasn’t cancelled because he was a prop for the Democrat party. A plant. He wasn’t cancelled despite losing $40M a year precisely because of his politics. And I suspect that SF is on to something with where the will to lose all that money came from. Whether from USAID or some other slush fund, he had to have been bankrolled from somewhere that wasn’t CBS. Even the media megaliths have a tolerance for losing cash, and $40M a year is a lot of cash to lose, especially when the effort was getting them exactly nowhere.
My God if my tax dollars were going into the pockets of that POS… I’ll get on my knees to thank Donald for hopefully, eventually putting a stop to it.
I called it a while back. All the major networks and news services were being bankrolled through USAID and other sources. Otherwise they would have collapsed into their own assholes a long time ago.
It begins! Colbert was just the first casualty from the removal of corporate welfare.

“You can either have your eyes stabbed with a rusty fork or you can fuck this beautiful woman!” *shows picture of beautiful woman
“Uh…I will take the woman. I will go fuck her right now. Where is she?”
“She is in this Vegan restaurant with her single friends right now! Get to it!”
“Uh…vegan you say? single friends? Is it too late for me to change my mind?”
“You can have your eyes stabbed with a rusty fork now — or want to stab into your brain through your ears with said fork so you won’t have to hear her ever again….”
So so glad I don’t have to deal with the “dating scene” (which as far as I can tell is more a “meat market” due to liberation than anything else…)
Every day I become happier that my wife and I made it and that I’m not out trying to get together with new women.
Dang skippy, kinnath. Right there with you. (Well, with my wife… not right there with your wife… you can put the shotgun back down now….)
I agree with you gents. I often meet women who are nice, but I think to myself, “No way I could deal with you every day.”
Here, here, kinnath.
Here, here.
68, seriously?
I’m actually quite surprised by that.
How many people under 50 turn on an actual television channel over a streaming service?
That’s why he’ll never make it online. I can’t imagine my mom and dad going to YouTube to watch anything.
I’m between 50 and 68 and I fucking *hate* streaming. I will choose cable or even broadcast over that shit.
The expense, the shitty UX that all of them have… I have no idea why people are choosing to put up with that crap. Maybe because I’m old and I don’t need to watch anything (much) new.
rhywun:
I prefer streaming off my Plex server, where there’s no ads (because it’s my media) and I can be certain that nothing will be pulled from it before I watch it (same reason). What I can’t get is the girlfriend watching items that are on the Plex server on one of the ad supported streaming services. I’ve got it, here, with no ads, why go to ads?
rhywun I pay for streaming and “acquire” the shows to watch them on Kodi because I hate the UI.
I don’t feel much guilt.
My daughter. Now she is the daughter of an elderly space alien. So there is that. She turns on MeTV first, then if nothing good is on she will go to stream Three Stooges.
Also, my internet is bundled with cable at a big discount so I’m even less likely to pay extra or fart around with more software than I need to.
Sorry rhywun, I am roughly your age, and only stream.
Even baseball gets watched a couple hours later.
I’m quite tired of this age of “Apps.” Everything different has to have its own app. Wanna watch a ball game? Open MLB app. Want to watch a movie, some other app. Weather? A fucking app. Make a dinner reservation? Fucking app.
256K per episode in the 18-49 demo.
That means his show was only on in old folks’ homes and such. The progressive orderlies would turn it on and the elderly probably had no choice but to watch.
Retirees. The 40 and 50 crowd has to get to bed and work in the morning.
Excellent tune.

Haven’t heard it in decades.
I’m sure I put it up some months ago.
Anything 90s is usually burned into my brain but I had almost forgotten that one.
Yes, it was being propped up with USAID money. All of the leftist propaganda outfits were propped up with USAID money. I always figured there was some secret source of funding for all of that shit because I could not imagine large numbers of people voluntarily giving money for that.
When the USAID money was cut off all of the exact people I suspected started screeching. Now they are disappearing.
Burn in hell assholes.
It really is something. I had my suspicions but my imagination couldn’t conjure how deep that rot went.
Yeah I’m cynical AF and even I didn’t picture that.
I haven’t been dating long (just the other day my ex-husband and I received our Judgment of Divorce as an email attachment), but long enough to discover that I have a type. He is gentle, goofy, self-deprecating, rather deferential, a passionate humanist, a sweet guy, a “good guy.” He tends to signal, in various ways, his exemption from the tainted category of “men,” and it is perfectly understandable that he would wish to do so. It must be mildly embarrassing to be a straight man, and it is incumbent upon each of them to mitigate this embarrassment in a way that feels authentic to him.
I tapped out here. The ex-husband is better off without her.
“My rebound guy is a safe doormat until I decide I crave ‘excitement’ and want to be railed… then I’m cruising the local prison!”
That sounds about right.
These women don’t want men. They want women with dicks, only to later complain about the lack of men.
Fuck these harpies.
“Mr. Sensitive Ponytail Guy”
“nice guy”
IE friend zone.
Meanwhile, genre romance is still the financial backbone of publishing. Baffling. 🤔
It must be mildly embarrassing to be a straight man
Tell me you are a toxic harridan without telling me you are a toxic harridan.
Seriously. I’m sure that her ‘type’ really does suffer from a lot of unmanaged anxiety, but I’m equally sure that some of her prospects got to know her a bit and hit the eject button…
It must be mildly embarrassing to be a straight man
Most of the straight men I know, my age and with a degree or at least money, are swimming in pussy. They don’t need your shit.
The fights over hair products will tear them apart.
17 years with his high school girlfriend, married for 9 of them. I wonder how many guys he was fucking on the side. It’s not the Victorian age, stop stringing women along.
This is so far into the land of WGAF I can’t help but imagine why any of us care at all.
He was born in 1988, so hitting puberty around 2000. It wasn’t like being gay in 2000 was some unthinkable fate. Hell, there were out, gay characters on network TV shows.
TBF, it’s not like Detroit, where he grew up, had a gay scene. 🙄
I wonder if she was trying to turn him?
Will they have fruit sushi at the wedding?
At this point I think probably they should avoid going raw.
They’re a cute couple if you’re into overly manicured twinks, but SF is right. At this point in time, 17 years in the closet is just cowardice.
He had to be cautious about his employer finding out.
Look what they did to Lucy!
Yeah. I feel bad for the girl who was bearding for him (unless she was in the know and approved).
“Overly manicured twinks” Ugh. My least favorite form of person.
Honestly, how libertarian can Froot Sooshi be if he freaks out about changing a tire? What does that say about his level of personal responsibility?
The boyfriend there looks like the picture you see in the dictionary under ‘twink’. Good lord.
Where were the men who could handle hard stuff?
Like deciphering the goddam Calvinball rules of engagement?

Fruit Sushi “News”… well, I am shocked. – clueless commenter
The reply snipping previous posts extolling his wife is gold. And the real shocker.

I hate to break this to you… Are you sitting down, Shirley?
One of the reasons my marriage ended was that I fell in love with another man
NO
FUCKING
WAY.
*reads on*
Good grief.
I read that whole damn column. It reads like someone took the assigned texts for a Feminism and Power course at the local university and dumped them into a Carrie Bradshaw article generator. Quotes from various academics and experts who have created useless new terms, a sprinkling of off-putting personal anecdotes, “hermeneutics” and “dialectical”, lifestyle references so that the NYT reader knows the author is part of the Smart Set, cute aphorisms, stupid conclusions.
She also seems to run through dates like a lawnmower.
Wait a minute. This isn’t from Robby’s tweets?
That’s what I thought at first, too.
Froot Sushi? I am shocked in two ways; I didnt know he was married to a woman and I thought everyone already knew he was gay. First time I saw him/read him I subconsciously thought ‘Gay dude’ then never gave it another thought.
Just because he can’t change a tire?
😉
Just the vibe he gives off. I didnt pay much attention because it doesnt matter. I thought he was a good fit at TOS because his ideas about liberty were….decent but weak. He seemed like the kind that would sell out for the right cocktail party invites.
At FreedomFest 2021 I met Robby and his wife. His wife, well ex-wife now, is hot.
I offered to teach him how to change a tire. He didn’t take me up on the offer. He told me he was embarrassed by that article.
The best way to deal with that embarassment – learn to change a tire and let people know “I’ve grown since then”.
If he still doesn’t know how, there’s no hope for him.
There are porn lesbian couples with more testosterone than that pairing.
🔥
I was looking for something I knew he wrote at reason several years back. The predictive text on the googles finished my statement with Froot Sushi’s “wife” and I chuckled. “He doesn’t have a wife. He’s gay as fuck.” Little did I know….
Of course, this is well beyond something I care about in even the smallest of ways, but this is all to say I agree with you. I thought he was always gay, and never thought anything else about it.
Reminds me of a coworker that got a divorce and went gay gay. Looking back it kind of all fit together before the shift.
I had a room mate in college who came out. We all said to him “we know”
lol The group I hung out with, the one I crushed on the hardest is one of the few who turned out not gay.
Ha! My only shocker was that he was married to a woman.
My sister-in-law, the one married to my gay brother who moved out to a yurt in their back yard to follow his gay bliss, but didn’t divorce, is angry with me that I was outraged on her behalf, and not giving her enough credit to know her own mind.
People have arrangements and Bro2 told her he was gay before they got married and she agreed, so, whatever. I just assumed she would feel the way I would feel.
Maybe she’s asexual. Maybe she doesn’t care. Maybe maybe maybe maybe but it’s not my business. I still think it’s wrong, but if she doesn’t care, why should I?
If Robby’s wife was in the know, fine. But otherwise, what an self-centered, assholish thing to do to waste so many years of her life.
Oh, yes, absolutely. That’s why I was pissed off on my SIL’s behalf. I’ve seen it too many times.
My ex-SIL was married to a man for a while. She is/was deeply religious, and thought that this would help her. It didn’t, left a very sad man who loved her behind, she struggled with drinking issues, and, finally having found a woman, is now dying of cancer.
Sometimes life jus doesn’t work out.

I like how one person reviewed it with a 5 star rating. Totally not rigged.
I shouldn’t be surprised, but…
Totally not a review from a Moonie.
I don’t pay much attention to this stuff but I was looking around a hospital parking lot some time ago and I did not see a single sedan. What the hell is wrong with people?
Govt regulations. Our cars now are in the spirit of black pajamas.
Partly as Suthen discussed, but partly people don’t want to be surrounded by all these huge automobiles. You can’t see a GD thing, especially pulling out of a parking space.
A bit of you can’t beat ’em join ’em.
I had a Mercedes S430 4matic sedan for 10 years.. wonderful tank of a car, but I did miss the utility of my subaru outback. So I bought a Range Rover sport.. Drove that for 10 years. Retired that to vacation house duty, and I now have a full size Range Rover.
The merger between Jag and LR killed the XJ Jag sedans. When you are in the same showroom and the SUV costs the same, similar MPG, has much more space, 4wd etc.. everyone switches to the SUV.
Jag’s last cars were all CUV’s and the F-type sportster… Ford the same, no more large sedans, SUV, Truck, CUV and Mustang. BMW, Audi, Mercedes still have full lines, perhaps Europe still wants a sedan, but the US doesn’t.
Come join us weirdos in the station wagon tribe.
(there are far too few mid-size wagons available in the US; we’re not allowed to have nice things, like this georgous Hyundai Genesis G70 shooting brake)
Long roofs are the best!

Hmmm. I wonder what a govt modeled somewhat after a corporation would look like. Every voting citizen owns a ‘share’ where everyone who owns shares gets dividends…also only one vote no matter how many ‘shares’ you own. Should everyone have the same number of shares?
How would we prevent govt for using the dividends as a govt slush fund?
“I wonder what a govt modeled somewhat after a corporation would look like.”
You mean, one where each citizen/shareholder gets to vote for the legislature/board, and for a group that will select the president/CEO?
RC, thanks for getting back to me. Fortunately, I think things are going to work out, so no need in the end.

Maybe she’s a gay man trapped in a woman’s body.
I once joked with a girlfriend about “women who hate men who love men who hate women”. This sounds like the manifestation of that concept.

She would drive me nuts right quick. No thanks, lady, you are too high-maintenance for me. No hard feelings, but bye.
Okay, Gun Glibs, I’m looking for opinions.
I went browsing a couple of the local stores looking for a carry piece. I found that a lot of the subcompacts were simply a bad ergonomic fit for my sausage fingers. So going up a size to compact, there were three that did okay in the ergonomics department. I wanted opinions on the quality/lack thereof of the contenders, as well as how good they are at being concealed.
First was the Sig P365 Nothing stood out there, but it didn’t fight me to operate the controls and fit in my hand.
Second was some H&K P30 variant which had an unusual mag release (ambidextrous lever) and all-ambidextrous controls.
Third was the Smith and Wesson M&P M2.0 which was unremarkable in terms of first impressions.
Have you considered the ugly ass Glock compact series?
My full size does nothing for me, but it’s been remarkably trouble free and reasonably accurate. I get the hate, but they generally just work.
I tried them, but I dislike how it feels in my hand or the operation of the mag release, it’s not a good fit.
Context: Most of my guns are considered ‘collectable’ or antique designs.
You are a big guy, right? I dont remember where I got that impression.
If you really need a gun outside of the house it will likely be one opponent, maybe two but the situation will occur quickly and be a complete surprise. Range will be close, likely within ten feet.
You want something you can grab quickly, 100% reliable and has the punch to put an end to the situation with one shot.
https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/l-frame-10064
Carry with the hottest soft nosed jacketed 44 Specials you can find. Practice with cowboy loads.
Every night for a month practice drawing the gun 100x before you go to bed. 100 times, count them. Do it until you get a blister.
I’m only 6’3″ with fairly large hands.
On the topic of revolvers, I was looking at the Mountain Gun, because “a .357 revolver” is on my list of handguns to acquire.
I am with Suthen in enjoying the world of wheel guns. It’s just my thing. It is far less shots though. The smaller frame Smith and Wesson 38 /357 is a good carry piece, in my opinion.
S&W .38 special with the 1.875″ barrell. Don’t load it hot either; no need.
Love that gun for carry; I think it’s the 442.
Depending upon circumstances, and your practice regime, you can point and fire that thing reliably from inside a sweatshirt or coat pocket.
I’ve carried it in the front pocket of my jeans comfortably w/o it showing.
Great gun.
6’3″ with large hands. Ok, consider the N-frames. S&W chambers them in .357 (seven shot), 44 in six shot (the mags are fun but the specials are easier to control for follow up shots) and in six shot 45ACP, 45LC.
Nice thing about those revolvers – simple. No safety, no empty chambers, just pull, point and pull the trigger. Also, they shoot 100% of the time.
I suggest repeated drawing and pointing, reholster then do it again over and over for a reason. Anecdote on training for muscle memory – I remember a shooting where a cop was shot dead because he emptied his own gun and still facing an armed opponent stopped mid-fight to pick up his brass. His brain was turned off and went into autopilot so he picked up his spent brass as they had trained him to do at the range. That tell you anything?
*looks at model #*
Same here Ozzy but the model 49 and shrouded hammer.
I suggested model 69 for uncivil because….well, he is 6’3″ with large hands. He can carry more firepower with ease. the J-frames might be a tad small for his hands.
Nothing that can be concealed on your person can be relied upon to stop a human attacker with one shot.
All stops with a pistol are going to be psychological, unless you get them in the heart/aortic complex or the brain, and if you hit them in the heart or the brain it really doesn’t matter what you get them with. As such, it’s much more important to have more chances versus one big chance.
It’s also easier to hit with smaller calibers, especially in smaller guns.
I’d take an 8-shot .22LR revolver over a five- or six-shot .44, every day of the week.
The Bakersfield Police Department shooting. The whole thing about one of the officers being found dead with empty brass in his pockets has been proven to be a myth.
You do not want a .357 sub-compact. You will never practice with it, due to the bark and the recoil in such a small package.
.38 special is the way to go in wheel guns that size.
M&Ps are solid. Be weird, get a .40
Before I shifted to the Glock 48 in below-the-belt carry mode, I carried and trained with an M&P2.0 Compact 9mm for years. Very underrated gun, great trigger, and has a highly ergonomic ambidextrous thumb safety.
I actually have two that I’m looking to sell, as I’ve standardized on Glocks and game guns these days.
I like my HK VP9 a lot. Accurate, reliable, feels solid in the hand. If I decide to get (another) carry gun, it will probably be the compact VP9.

Thank you everybody.
I have been reading all of the responses. I just don’t always have a lot to add. (No point in asking for opinions and then debating any of them. If I think of follow-up questions, I will post them)
I end up wondering if it is my own fault somehow when the heterosexual dynamic cannot seem to transcend its own tropes, subvert its own symbolism, play out an entirely unpredictable scene.
Nonsense. Nothing is ever your fault.
Golly gee, I want something never seen before, that transcends and subverts itself, and can’t seem to find it.

“Am I out of touch? No, it’s the
childrenmen who are wrong.”If Every Worker in America Earned the Same Paycheck, What Would Happen to the Economy?
Profits are shared, but are they shared equally? I would like to hear how things go when total compensation and equity is equal.
Your high-skill talent jumps ship for prestige and higher pay, since there is no opportunity for advancement within the company. Your low-skill employees are loyal forever, since they would lose out by jumping ship. You go under as you lose any compeditive edge.
Well, there is no higher pay, anywhere, for doing anything.* The article isn’t about one company doing this, it’s about the whole country doing it.
*Unless you emigrate, of course.
I was talking about “where will this company be in five years” not “what if this moronic productivity killing idea were rolled out economy-wide”
In addition all of the low skilled positions will now be extorted by HR/(the powers that be) for kickbacks or other services, see grad students, et al.
Humans build hierarchies, there is a reason for it. try to ignore the 1st order $money) then they will build other levels.
Someone did this by overpaying all of the low level employees a little while back, and HR went directly to nepotism and kickbacks. I searched and found other failures.. it works for a short time… and then completely fails.
It is hard to believe there is anyone this stupid until you see proof of it.
When you see the push for a lower ratio between the CEO and employees, you just get rid of all of the low level workers (switch to service contracts with a 3rd party company).. Then it is just the CEO and senior mgrs, engineers sales etc. Much lower ration. Sure there are still minimum wage people cleaning and doing tasks, but they aren’t employees so they don’t count in the magic number…

Interesting isn’t it that she can go ahead and try this in a capitalist society and no one will stop her. But try to start up a capitalist enterprise in a communist society and see what happens….
There is a reason people move TO capitalist countries and OUT of communist ones.
The whole situation is so incredibly obvious that it is absurd it even has to be discussed.
A few years back there was some restaurant that tried that commie shit. It opened with the usual ‘We are going to show you this time!’ fanfare and a year or so later quietly disappeared. Of course real communism works beautifully. Mamdani is going to show us in NYC, just you wait and see.

Partly as Suthen discussed, but partly people don’t want to be surrounded by all these huge automobiles. You can’t see a GD thing, especially pulling out of a parking space.

Repeal the metric shit ton of regulations and that problem goes away overnight.
Damn spiders keep trying to build webs in front of my cameras. One also tried to build a web from the porch light to the top step.
Me and the spiders have a general understanding, keep the webs out of doorways, and we’re good. There’s always at least one ambitious spider that tries to build a web across the patio each year, they usually only get a couple strands across.
A couple years ago a garden spider rejected the understanding by building a web that blocked my doorbell.
Repeal the metric shit ton of regulations and that problem goes away overnight.
I’m pretty much resigned to the likelihood it doesn’t. I remember forty years ago my friend’s wife drove his Suburban (instead of her hotrod Camaro) just about everywhere, because she liked to be “up high”. Manual transmissions are a tiny segment of the market. Small nimble utilitarian cars are done for. 3000 pounds is a fucking featherweight.
I sadly agree.
You can thank CAFE standards.
Imagine an America where the CEO of a tech giant takes home the same salary as a grocery store cashier. Where software engineers, janitors, teachers and hedge fund managers all earn the exact same paycheck.
Whoa, dude, that’s so radical.

Hey man, it’s puff-puff-pass. Quit it with the bogarting…
Idiocracy within a year.
Why the fuck would anyone attempt to better themselves for nothing?
See, the problem is they still require you to work. Eliminate pay and give everyone UBI. Now you can pursue what you want instead of doing work you don’t enjoy.
“Now you are catching on!” – Nancy Pelosi
Profits are shared, and there’s a five-year plan to distribute ownership equally.
“Hey, this ditch is full of dead people. Why did you bring me here?”
Another random thought: small nimble utilitarian cars could be a viable niche product if they could fly under the regulatory radar, but I think the implosion of the EV startups has killed any interest on the part of investors. And I don’t think we’ll ever see anything like Saturn getting approved by an existing big car company’s board of directors or the UAW again.
There’s a huge interest in mini trucks around here, in deepest-Blue Mass.
There’s clearly pent-up demand.
I wish I’d saved the link. Saw a vid where somebody was bringing gas to a stalled-out car in the middle of nowhere. Dude who showed up with it went, WTF this is a fully electric car, what do you need gas for? Where you gonna put it?
A few un-self-aware answers to obvious questions later, EV owner opens his trunk to show a Honda gas-powered generator with the correct nozzle to plug the car into. Dude delivering gas said something like, you don’t get why this is ridiculous? although the wife was like, “I told you to get a gas car but nooooooo.”
I have reason to believe the vid was staged because the EV owner was far too clueless as to the idiocy of the situation,.
