Was the second bullet point supposed to be linkless?
ZARDOZ HAS PROVIDED LINKS TO HIS CHOSEN ONES, AND DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT BRUTAL IS REFERRING TO…ANYMORE.
More like the second link is pointless. OK, so Rep. Steve wants to be King Stupid of the Stupid Party.
And that Rep Peter King from NY….what is it with TEAM RED guys named “King”??
Yeah, I get those two confused. I didn’t know there was one in Iowa.
Saw an interesting book on CSPAN Book TV called “Bottleneckers” which examines how licensing is used to box out competition. The authors were forthright in describing their search for a term that was widely understood and that could easily be adopted as a pejorative. It sounds like an interesting read while ignoring March sportsball.
It’s too long until the draw for the CL quarterfinals.
Cactus League?
Another competition in which the Swiss are not particularly well represented.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland_national_football_team
For a small country…OK’ish.
They scored the best goal of Euro 2016.
Champignons Liga.
Mushroom League?
The author of that book :
The IJ is pretty awesome.
Those poor birds. Clawing themselves back from extinction, simply to be trod upon by careless bureaucrats.
ZARDOZ WILL CORRECT TO REFLECT FECAL MATTER OF BRUTALS.
Wayne Rooney probably would have stepped on Kaka.
I continue to be amazed at how much stupid some people manage to fit into a single tweet
Look, i’m not a big fan of moozies either, congressman. But do you really need to destroy the english language in your pandering-to-racists exercise? These goofballs just go, “OUR CULTURES IS DESTINIES” and a bunch of flag-waving yokels all pound the table like he just one-upped Winston Churchill.
“Restore Civilization?” You’re from *Iowa*, buddy. I’ll take your ‘civilization’ a little more seriously when you stop living off Ethanol subsidies.
DAMMIT! I’ll NEVER BE THE FIRST ONE TO HUMOROUSLY POINT OUT SPELLING ERRORS! WAAHH!!
DO NOT TEMPT ZARDOZ TOO MUCH, OR BRUTAL ENFORCERS WILL CLEANSE. BRUTAL GILMORE GOT IN FIRST, FAIR AND SQUARE.
You can still be first on the irregularly-timed links.
Wait… a jewish sports team won? *checks to make sure link does not say onion.com*
I find myself wondering…”Are there a lot of baseball fields in Israel?”
They have a great youth-pitching program
I should have known someone would have gone there.
*narrows gaze*
Is that kosher?
[ducks, dodges, dives, dips and dodges]
Onions or baseballs?
I was wondering what the hell “WBC” stood for as it kept scrolling across the bottom of my screen during real sporting events.
I was watching Indian Wells on the Tennis Channel, which only scrolls tennis news. 😉
FS+ is good about that too. But sometimes I get stuck in the wilds of FS1 or *shudder* ESPN.
Western British Columbia?
We Bring Coverage?
Watch Blackhawks Compete?
Wont Buy Coors?

BRUTAL POLITICIAN STEPS INTO DOODOO
Does Steve King have a hat that tweets too?
damn tag fail
No, but check the hair!
Wood chippers for everyone!
DO ANY OF YOU WORK?
Funny, how I always want to ask that question at 2PM on Tuesday, when I can’t find time to post.
But then, I stopped like 3 hours ago, so Sunday Nite Links are a welcome site.
I’m naked in front of my webcam right now!
Not my fault you can’t multitask while doing your chaturbate.com shift!
“I’m naked in front of my webcam right now!”
Have some compassion on all those NSA staff…
I do. The 5th show is free!
If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in you’re life.
Don’t Other us.
Holy fucking shit. Sunday Nite Links are a real thing! I thought they only existed in the most fevered imaginations of former Reasonoids. We be spoiled, honkeys, we be spoiled.
Speak for yourself. I’m a cracker, not a honkie.
Hey cracker, I prefer Casper.
I’m not your cracker, Casper.
I prefer “white devil” or “haole” or the Chinese version, “gweilo.”
I’m a cronkie.
All praise be to ZARDOZ!
Since Zardoz linked to what some consider a sport:
SUP Madness
If that vessel is considered a paddleboard then my car is considered a motorized skateboard.
I had a similar thought. Big SUP. But that is a long way to paddle. It’s not nice out there sometimes.
Uh huh. Hippies already ruined skiing and now this.
The cool hippies took over skiing back in the late 60’s and 70’s when skiing was affordable for hippies. I think the Hawaiians did the paddle board thing long before that.
When’s the deadline to hand in our NCAA pucks, I mean, picks?
Before the first games in Thursday. Play in games are bullshit.
So, Glibertarians, I have word that it’s coming a Nor’easter. Do you know what a Nor’easter is? Yeah, well neither do I, but apparently it can hit the Mid-Atlantic. And it has a name. It’s name is … well, shit I forgot, just a minute. It’s name is Stella. Why does that ring a bell… oh yeah, it’s a beer. So tomorrow night, in the Mid-Atlantic, all of which as far as I know, is south of the Mason-Dixon line, it’s coming a fucking real true Nor’easter. I don’t really know what this is, except that it seems to mean that you’re supposed to panic and drive to your local grocery store and beat up grandma’s and whoever else the fuck gets in your way of buying stuff that you don’t even need. Stay tuned, I’ll update as I figure out what’s going on with this Nor’easter.
Arizona here… what is this ‘weather’ of which I commonly hear referenced negatively?
Let’s not be too smug. We get monsoonal downpours and friggin’ haboobs, at least up here in Phoenix.
*yoohoo* California here: what is a momsoon? Sounds kinky.
In Balmer, the monsoons are a feature, not a bug.
But, the monsoons are a welcome sight, no?
Had to look up ‘Haboobs’. Man, what a let down.
Other than that, it sez here it’s a ‘dust storm’. Do you have a big vacuum or Swiffer broom?
And the rest of the time it’s a nice cool 95, right?
95 is pleasant and cool. It’s a cliche but it’s true that a dry heat makes substantial difference. I’d rather deal with 105 weather in Phoenix than say 90 in Houston during the summer months.
Hot weather and high humidity doesn’t much bother me at all. Except when trying to sleep. I sort of like 95 with 75% humidity as long as I have AC to sleep. What I really hate is months of sub freezing temps with extremely low humidity.
Are you old enough that you lick your lips and chew on your gums all day?
Eh, maybe in another year or 2.
I can’t stand the often hot and humid summers in NYC – it just makes me miserable day or night. I can’t imagine dealing with points south.
LOL, shit, you don’t even know what hot is.
Jesus. Man is not meant to live in places like that.
I was swimming with the oldest today. Nice and warm.
And then, a fucking fog bank rolled in. What the hell?
Zero stars, would not bang again.
We were going to the beach but it was overcast. Also, too many Canadians
Palm Desert is like that from November to March too.
Incredibly nice, incredibly ugly people.
I’ve been to Scottsdale twice. The first time the car rental place gave me a free upgrade, leather seats. I managed to get burned through my jeans due to that.
Sailing to Philadelphia is a great Mark Knopfler song about Mason and Dixon. That’s all I got.

So you’re worried about a wife beater coming? All I know is that here in Ohio, we’re expecting snow over the next three days. And some moron thought that it would be a good idea to have ComicCon happen downtown on St. Patrick’s Day.
This sounds like a job for Captain Ireland!
I’m very disappointed in that link. There was no whiskey or beer anywhere in sight.
Try this. Supply your own whiskey.
You know, when I lived in the upper Midwest, it sort of made a little sense when the villagers freaked the fuck out and descended on the local grocery to buy a year’s worth of bread and milk before the snowstorm hit. I mean, you truly could get snowed in for days or even weeks. But in Baltimore? Please fucking give me a break, you fucking imbeciles. Do you really need to act like it’s the end of the world because you might get snowed in for a day because you’re too fucking lazy to shovel your driveway?
So it’s going to hit New Orleans?
Beat up grandma’s what?
And the storms get the name “nor’easter” because the prevailing winds come from the northeast.
G’damnit, you grammar Nazi, the apostrophe in grandmas was a type-o. But point about Nor’easter well taken. Thank you.
Then stop your apostrophe abuse. 😉
Stella? Marlon Brandi hardest hit.
You gonna die.
She’s laughing at you. That’s how they laugh.
The laughing face of a goddess.
For a thicc man, you seem to like those flat asses.
I’m a sucker for malformed and off-white teeth.
You’re Welcome
The biological term is “summer teeth”. Some’re here and some’re there.
“Summer teeth,” LOL.
I don’t even know why, but that’s scary as hell.
It’s the look of a person who the more you plead for your life citing your kids, wife – whatever – the more she laughs knowing how much she’s gonna enjoy it.
It’s an east coast winter storm system, a cold slow hurricane as it were. Dumps lots of rain or snow depending on how far North you are.
Is it me, or have you been MIA for a week or 2?
in the Mid-Atlantic, all of which as far as I know, is south of the Mason-Dixon line
Pennsylvania is in the Mid-Atlantic and is north of the Mason-Dixon line. Though to be fair, in some parts of Pennsylvania it is tough to tell which side of the Mason-Dixon line you are on.
We don’t do daylight savings or blizzards here in America’s Polynesian Outpost. We bitch it’s too cold if is 68 in the morning and complain if it hits 91 for a high. Plus the Big Island is a great hurricane goalie sending those things to the north and south. Now for a rum drink, some poke and a swim.
Lazy Sunday with the fiancee gone until tomorrow, so I’m rewatching Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time in years. Still holds up very well. I love how unabashedly violent ostensibly family oriented movies were 30-40 years ago. Lot of gruesome deaths and I don’t just mean the face melting scene.
Wasn’t Raiders of the Lost Ark the impetus for the PG-13 rating?
I believe that was Temple of Doom. Which features such lighthearted family-friendly fare like child slavery, human sacrifice, and even by 80s standards racist Oriental tropes.
If I recall correctly, it was Raiders of the Lost Ark and Gremlins which caused PG-13 to become a thing.
Wasn’t Red Dawn the first PG-13 movie?
Wolverines!
IMDb suggests you’re right.
even by 80s standards racist Oriental tropes.
Please elaborate. Other than Asian bad guys, what might you be referring to? Short Round? I saw him as a positive portrayal of a very industrious, hard-working, fun-loving boy who has the world’s coolest mentor.
I presume OP means the whole Thugee Cult thing?
http://indianajones.wikia.com/wiki/Thuggee
I like the casual pot smoking in pretty much every PG movie from the 80s. We really have regressed in some ways.
Even a little later. Brad Pitt in True Romance when the gangsters barge in looking for Clarence was perfect.
Don’t patronize me man. I’ll fucking kill you man.

NEVER A HARSH WORD AGAINST THE MOLLY!!!
She made a guest appearance in one of the Psych season 6 episodes.
She has glorious ears.
I don’t watch tv episodes. That is my biggest bitch about netflix. No filter for that. I am a loser that way. Molly was a lust from my 80’s adolescence.
All the episodes of Psych are available at Amazon.com.
I can watch them any place I have a computer and internet access.
Lazy Sunday with the fiancee gone until tomorrow, so I’m rewatching Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time in years
So what you are saying is you fiance tells you what you can watch. There may be articles out there that may help when entangled in a relationship where the significant other harshly forces their will on you. Maybe even support groups. I feel your pain bro.

If We Don’t Act Now, Fascism Will Be on Our Doorstep, Says Yale Historian
Timothy Snyder warns: History gives us a bunch of cases where democratic republics became authoritarian—sometimes fascist–regimes.
I really liked Snyder’s book Bloodlands, but now he’s writing in Alternet….great.
It’s an interview to promote his book.
To Rhywun and Pie about the racism in soccer bit in the other thread. I bring it up here because I don’t know if people are like me by keeping tabs open and refreshing every so often to see if i have any replies.
Anyway. Not sure why Italy and Spain (and for my money, Liga is worse than Serie A) were singled out when the worst documented cases of racism also takes place in Northern Europe including Germany.

Don’t know if you referred to it on the other thread but their are reports about the behavior of Millwall fans at Spurs today.
No, but this stuff crosses ‘national’ lines. It’s all over the place.
Oh, Millwall… never change.
Here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/03/12/millwall-face-action-fans-target-spurs-forward-heung-min-son/
Saw that. Millwall has a long history of this shit. To the point where it’s pretty much all they’re known for. I don’t know how you “root it out” but the endless “End Racism” signs, the fines, and the empty stadiums are about as effective as “Love Trumps Hate”.
Yeah, I used to work with a couple British black women. I joked that I was a Milwall backer once. ONCE.
I remember the Millwall fan on ‘Lilyhammer’. He was nuts.
The amount of attention this stuff receives is way out of proportion to its seriousness IMHO.

Whites-Only Group At MIT
And with that, I’m off to work. You all have a good night sleep. *Pulls up blankets on the sleepy heads and gives peck on forehead*
Look, if you’re gonna post shit like this you better pay for my new irony meter. The page didn’t even finish loading before mine caught fire.
Only white people are smart enough to dismantle racism.
Ok, you get to stay up an hour later for that.
White privilege!
I think I’ve seen.one of their meetings.
I’ve heard that the MIT white caucus is smaller than the black caucus.
Black people are known for their large caucuses, though. It’s kind of a thing.
I see.
How did they fit that large caucus in there?
Damn, McIness is comedy fucking gold.
No one’s going to fuck you!
I think the absolute best part of that whole thing is when McIness is screaming ‘no one is going to fuck you!’, ginger had every reason and right to get indignant and say ‘how dare you sir! This has nothing to do with me getting laid and everything to do with racism and inequality!’ Instead he flat out ADMITS HE’S TRYING TO GET LAID by basically saying ‘nu uh. This works. You’re wrong!’
That’s because it’s a bit. It isn’t real. There’s clearly some degree of staging here, plenty of ad-lib though.
Who is the person he’s talking to?
Coppercab is a next-level troll. I don’t know if Gavin is in on the joke or was unaware.
Example
I was about to say, “that looks 10 years older”, and it was actually 7 years. his channel pic is even younger.
…so, the reason it has 41 million views is because South Park decided to include his rant in their show?
Gavin should be given the Order of Canada. I find myself looking for his Rebel Media stuff.
That’s gotta be staged. Ginger is tooo nice and not interupting Gavin.

The Dilemma Facing Ex-Muslims in Trump’s America
How to challenge Islam while defending its adherents
““Challenging Islam as a doctrine,” Ali Rizvi told me, “is very different from demonizing Muslim people.” Rizvi, a self-identified ex-Muslim, is the author of a new book titled The Atheist Muslim: A Journey from Religion to Reason. One of the book’s stated aims is to uphold this elementary distinction: “Human beings have rights and are entitled to respect. Ideas, books, and beliefs don’t, and aren’t….
“…On the day The Atheist Muslim came out, his mother told him, “Your book will do well, inshallah” (“God willing”). To me, he joked, “If she’d told me that before, I would have put it as a blurb on the cover!””
So, what’s the over/under on his beheading? I give him 4 months.
After they get that twerking chick first.
Flush With Cash, ACLU Now Trying to Deliver on Anti-Trump Agenda
Plan includes ‘Resistance Training,’ ‘carpet bombing’ lawsuits
Organization seeks to rally volunteers to take to the streets
“The Miami event was unlike any the ACLU has done before: two hours of “Resistance Training” for thousands of volunteers in attendance. Thanks to a team of digital experts — many of whom were hired from Senator Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign and the Obama White House — it was broadcast online to as many as 200,000 others.
“Held at the University of Miami’s cavernous Watsco Center, the ACLU event had the feel of a megachurch revival, with flashy staging, concert-worthy lighting, foot stomping and “People Power!” chants on command. ACLU lawyers took the stage to describe the organization’s legal efforts defending the rights of immigrants, minorities, women and the LGBT community.”
It’s hard to believe there was a time when you could take them seriously.
So Nazis can’t march through Skokie anymore? I so confused.
A new, official, D&D 5th edition digital toolset.
1st ed or nothing!
Have you purchased the 1st edition pdfs available at dndclassics.com?
No. I have the books!
2nd Edition AD&D is good. D&D is good too.
It’s all right but not really needed.
4th edition, especially the “Essentials” line, is my favorite. Moldvay’s B/X comes in 2nd.
Here is a thread I started discussing 4th edition and how it “feels” compared to other editions.
51 pages?
Is your avatar a vagina durian?
It is whatever you need it be, padawan.
It is a popular subject, due to the Edition Wars.
Posts in the thread by Manbearcat, Tony Vargas, pemerton, and AbdulAlhazred are generally pro-4e, but since most of them have been playing since 1st edition or earlier, they have better insights than me. I only started purchasing D&D paraphernalia in 2008, when 4th edition first hit the bookshelves.
As an aside, have you watched Matthew Colville’s series, The History of D&D, One Fighter at a Time”?
Highly entertaining and informative, even for someone only mildly curious about the subject.
The thing is, even if I don’t play anymore it is still my artform and I have a huge affection for RPGs and find discussions of same to be very entertaining.
It’s like you offered me 51 pages of crack.
I stay away from RPG forums for a reason…
I don’t charge for the first hit, you know.
Seriously, you should watch the Colville videos.
He also started a series teaching people how to be a DM.
My bad, 70 pages.

10 Ambiguous Film Endings You’re Getting Totally Wrong
I think even Gandhi would enjoy watching some antifa twat get brained by a guy with shield, a club, and an a American flag on his helmet:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMjQjBmPbkQ
But what about Ghihndi?
What?
chuckles
That’s beauuuutiful, man.
This man is my new role model.
I like the guy who gutshot an antifa in Seattle. He still hasn’t been charged but I don’t think the pigs have returned his weapon.
I find the actions in the video, and the celebration and financial support of the, worthy of condemnation.
Striking someone in the head with a weapon is not something to celebrate, even if it is in self defense, which this incident does not seem to be.
And I fucking hate antifa thugs. It’s just you can’t beat them by becoming them.
I’m guessing they’re actual alt-righters doing the video.
When you show up at a planned rally with the premeditated intent to beat up otherwise calm, law abiding people, I have absolutely no problem with you taking a 2×4 straight to the dome.
And you know the person hit in the head had that intent?
How?
Um, cause he was beating up otherwise calm, law abiding people? It’s not exactly state secrets that antifa goes to these rallys to “punch some nazis”.
Yes, some people masked at a rally may be “antifa” and there to punch some people who haven’t punched them first. Other people may be “black bloc” people whose goal is property damage, or to act as a type of defensive shock troop. You have no idea of the intent of the masked person in question.
I agree that it is relatively likely that they intended to become involved in melees like the one depicted in the video. But that does not justify the ESCALATION of force involved in hitting them with a stick.
If this guy was “epic punch man” I’d be a lot less bothered by the whole thing. Hitting people in the head with a stick can ruin both of your lives pretty goddamned easily, even if the person being hit with the stick completely and totally deserves it. It is a practice which should not be encouraged.
On one hand I do agree with you, in so much that violence should be discouraged whenever possible, but on the other hand when someone (or some group) commits to violence as their modus operandi, (e.g.: antifa) there is no de escalation at that point. Your options are officially fight or flight. Antifa went to that rally looking for a fight. When that happens it is often the brandishing or use of weapons that can actually defuse the situation. No one wants to get their bell rung by old hickory, and if the thugs genuinely believe they are outgunned they may back off before the fight ever starts. It’s possible that these guys didn’t believe stick man was going to actually use his weapon, but once he did they backed off right quick and in a hurry. Some people unfortunately only respond to violence, and if I have a choice between getting chased away from a place I am lawfully allowed to congregate and smashing some heads, I will choose the latter every. fucking. time.
Things like this leave me with little sympathy for antifa guys who get wood shampoos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFs1sVu_Lg4
I hear where you’re coming from. Mostly I am troubled by the glorification of/normalization of civic violence.
I will also note that the collectivization by which the target of the violence becomes “antifa” and assigned all the worst characteristics of that group is not typically a very libertarian mode of analysis. As a simple example (which apparently does not apply to this particular case) if a person is dressed in head to toe black, is not wearing a mask, but is standing near a crowd of “antifa” then are they fair game? Perhaps they’re just goth and have not yet been able to escape the melee… ;D
Finally, much like when gun people fantasize about how they’d feel if they shot a home invader, the reality is likely to be a lot less glorious than the fantasy.
There’s a legal construct for war, the name of which escapes me, that if you’re wearing the uniform of an opposing force and have not surrendered you are a legitimate target.
I think this could apply here. He’ dressing like them. He is moving with them, shouting with them and so forth so by association he’s made himself a legitimate target.
I don’t know if that’s in civil law but it might be.
In any event that is the lens I’m looking at through.
If some random antifa was standing on a street corner near a rally minding his business and stick man simply walked up behind him and bashed him I would definitely NOT be okay with that, much like I was not okay with Richard Spencer getting clocked for having the audacity to speak to a reporter in public. This video is most certainly NOT an example of that.
As far as your more obscure example goes: You can dress any way you want and call yourself anything you want to, but if you violate NAP in my presence I will respond in kind. My violence flow chart is remarkably simple:
Violate NAP → Get dome smacked.
@__Warren__ :
In my view, there is no moral equivalent of war. Whatever the moral calculus called for here, I doubt it is the law of war.
I specified none of these things. I said he was currently in a crowd near them, and wearing the same color clothes. Your apparent presumption that he was also doing the other things is kinda my point…
Well I effed up the blockquote tag.
I don’t see what you describe in the linked video. Do you have a link which shows enough of the “before” to establish that stick man is behaving “clearly in defense of others”?
If stick man were, say, a member of an explicitly organized defense force that was NOT ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE PROTEST but was present to defend people, I would have less problem with his action. This would be especially true if he “defended” people on both sides and worked to de-escalate conflict instead of escalating it. I would still have a problem with the escalation, but the combination of political speech and violence is what I find especially troubling.
This would make a great TV show or comic book:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRwbGA5iGAA
Huh. On Frost’s ‘The Road not Taken’. Huh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBlFwqq_qCw
heh. progs form wall to keep people from filming their protest against building a wall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDjh7e4IZ-4
I find the Anti-fa/leftwing protester aversion to being filmed very odd.
It goes back a while. at least to the tail end of OWS (2012 or so) But its just strange that if your goal is to “protest” then media-coverage of your protesting is what you’re actually trying to get.
Or maybe not? Maybe its really just all about the self-satisfaction. But they hate cameras either way.
I can understand not wanting to be photographed or filmed if you are planning to break the law later. Imagine you have big plans to throw a brick through a Starbucks window but some fascist troll has captured your soul along with an objective documentation of height, weight, Che T-shirt, Schott Highway Patrol jacket, balaclava, skinny jeans and whatever the antifa is sporting for footwear these days.
An opinion piece from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz
“When U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meet in the White House on Wednesday, they shouldn’t find it hard to make chit-chat before getting down to business. After all, they have a lot in common.
“Both like money, luxury — the good life. Both are vain, self-adoring, superior types. Both are gifted demagogues. Also, both have an evident disliking for minorities in their countries, Trump mainly for Mexicans and Muslims, Netanyahu mainly for Arabs. In this connection, they have one other thing in common: The formative influence in each of their lives was a racist father.”

2017 halftime show
Yeah, ok, the girl is incredibly talented, but she still has a pot belly and I still wouldn’t stick it in that.
You arranged that halftime show? It wasn’t perfect, but you shouldn’t have to apologize.
No, dummy, I had to apologize because wifey was telling me how good Lady Gaga is and I was telling her that she’s no talent.
I haven’t watched Ms. Germanotta’s work very much, so it’s hard to decide.
And I may be a dummy, but…um…look, I’m going to have to take some time to think of a really good comeback, but when it comes it will be DEVASTATING.
She’s fucking incredible, and I don’t hand out that stuff like candy. Also, don’t think you’re a dummy, (:
She may be “incredibly talented” but her songwriting is laughably terrible.
“I want to hold them like they do in Texas State”
Yeah, you know, TEXAS STATE. That place that we call that.
Does she actually write that stuff? If so, she’s not bad at all. And I’m extremely critical of pop music.
She inspired an epic song parody:

Favorite pious derp of the day:
Resistance isn’t all protesting, it isn’t all conflict, it isn’t all punching Nazis. Resistance comes in the form of teaching, in the form of taking care of those who have been hurt, in the form of fundraising to save and help who need it. Resistance has many faces, but resistance also has a heart.
IOW: resisting nothing in particular gets really tiring and the more you do it, the more obviously useless it is, so maybe we should make sure our Top Men get another car or second home?
So…resistance has a fist and a heart, but so far no brain.
Better call the wizard in on this one.
They don’t need brains. Why, anybody can have a brain. That’s a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven’t got: a diploma.

Those are Libertarians. And we resist on principle, not principals.
I was unfamiliar with the publication OffGrid. The mag is in competition for a journalism prize with that one whose blog we all “met” at. I always enjoyed Backwoods Home and OG seems to cover some of the same ground but with more gadget and gear content. I’d like to see a copy of the actual magazine.
Siv,
I read a copy of Off Grid. I saw it at an airport and read it on a flight. It has a very high quality paper and high gloss photos. The issue I read was centered on what to do to protect yourself in case of a urban uprising, coup, or riot. Well written and interesting content.
The same issue had great gear reviews, a bugout bag packing guide, and off road lighting for trucks.
I was suprised I liked the content. I’m no prepper, but I liked the articles and gear reviews.
Huh. Looks like Agile Cyborg is also a graphic designer.

Is.. anyone.. actually.. proposing… any… unconstitutional… marriage… equality… limitations… against… gays… ?
Maybe I missed the recent news story, but they seem to be saying “no” to something no one is saying “yes” to since that whole Supreme Court ruling thing?
You may say that in jest, but i actually recall him saying that he was an artist (painter)
I’m 90% sure he’s the safety inspector at the Husky refinery in Lima, Ohio.
I recall at least one time that he posted a link to a painting that he claimed to have made for his Resaon love bros, or whatever weird shit he called the commenters over there.
