Shapely, Voluptuous, Bombshell, Stacked – in times past, this week’s selection would have been called by any of those.
However, in these modern times, it is suffice to say that Ms. Vicki Li is thicc.

PLEASE KEEP POSTING THICC ASIANS WE ALL THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR KLENNEX BOX
One thing everyone can agree on: Asians are the superior race.
I think I mentioned in the 2nd Thicc Thursday (still the champ) thread that I don’t even have a particular thing for Asians. But HM’s best work (BY A GAWD DAMN MILE) has been two Asian women. So, I’m all on board the Orient Express
I’m proud to go to the comic book/gaming store with my wife. Having an Asian wife who’s also into that stuff makes me King of the Nerds.
See, I hooked up with a black girl so I could make racist jokes and sing along to Dr. Dre. I guess my side chick will have to be an asian.
Just make sure to keep an “a” on the end of it and never revert to the hard “er”.
Your word is:
I heard what you said.
Good for you. You’re not a real man until you split dark oak.
+1 monsters ball
+2 Halle Berry’s berries
I’ve “heard” what black chicks will do if they catch you cheating. Watch out!
Actually, we have an understanding: I do what I want with whom I choose, and she gets to live in my house. Win win.
My black ex was fully weeaboo… manga, anime, jrpgs, hentai, the whole thing. Strange woman.
My current one is that….. am… am I dating your ex?
Pictured: Gojira and Wife
I wish I had that guy’s head of hair.
Breaking: Gojira wants head from a guy. Film at 11.
In trade? Sure. He can have my Jew nose and baldness.
That’s the price of admission into the cool kids club, buddy. I’m only half so I only got the big nose to go with my full, luxurious head of hair. Curse my genes, I know.
Oh. My. God.
And yes, Asians are amazing. I’m SO glad I married one.
Backside isn’t as thicc as I tend to like, but mygawddemtitties.
After a few weeks of trial and error, HM has found his wheelhouse
I’m taking notes.
I was, until I had to use my note-taking paper to catch the spooge.
Nice, but it takes black booty to get the full “ledge above the bubble butt you can rest your beer on thicc” that my GF rocks.
Can you imagine CL with even a little bit more ass?
I was too busy having a seizure to notice anything about her
No kidding. What does a stroke feel like? Easy on the flashing lights girl.
So who cribbed from whom?
Yes
I… I’ve got the fever…
Master Luo heads back to the beach.
I love how he titles his videos like “White Woman Get Full Massage on the Beach”
The man is a goddamn American hero.
Well that did not go like pornhub has led me to expect.
That is one fine Celestial.
Oh my.
Yes, even Sulu approves.
See, HM says he doesn’t have yellow fever, but clearly his Asian picks are the best.
That young lady is going to have expensive back problems some day. I don’t envy the man who has to pay for her medical bills.
Or alternatively, she needs to spend most of her time on her back, to…spare her spine the stress. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
I would pay for her medical bills. Hell if they bottled the water from that pool and sold it I’d buy it by the case.
Man that reminds me, I don’t remember who said it, but at the old place, when Suicide Squad came out, in some thread they had a contest to say the most ridiculous thing about how hot Margot Robbie was.
One commenter wrote, “I’d bounce a basketball through a mine field just to smell where she peed.”
I loved that comment, it’s so weird and extreme and gross, my exact sense of humor.
The best one I heard was “I’d crawl a mile through a minefield filled with broken glass just to listen to her fart through a walkie talkie.”
From HM’s interview link below:
So I’m sure a lot of guys have hit on you, what’s the most cringe-worthy way they’ve done it?
LOL on instagram I think someone commented something like “I would drag my balls through a mile of broken glass to eat pudding out of her anus.”
“I’d bounce a basketball through a mine field just to smell where she peed.”
THAT WAS ME!
Hands down most outrageous compliment I can give a girl.
Or, she could have me hold them.
Yeah she probably sucks at golf, too.
She has lovely knees.
German minister wants to fine Facebook, Twitter up to $53M for fake news
He also looks exactly the way you’d expect him to look.
pick your punchline [in Werner Herzog voice]:
1. Ach verdampt. Mein candy bar hast melted in mein pocket.
2. OK, I may be a sullen, grey-faced bureaucrat, but I still have *feelings* you know!
3. When I was five, I had a pet goldfish named Swimmy. The cat ate him und I have never forgotten it.
Good lord, I’ve heard of foreheads but that has to be a fivehead or a sixhead.
At some point they are just going to have to pack up and leave. The Krauts will them stomp their feet and demand that they return and comply with their conditions. Maybe the government will replace it with a crackerjack knockoff social media platform.
The Germans are the worst, but there are a lot of other EU countries that also have fucked up privacy laws.
I’ve been dealing with them a lot lately as part of my work. We are trying to roll out a mobile app globally and we are spending a ton of time with lawyers trying to come up with the necessary terms & conditions so we don’t get fucking sued for privacy shit.
Our app doesn’t do anything really, but since we get a GPS location every once in a while, we have to figure out how to comply with various fuckwit laws.
I’m with you, I’m ready to just pull out of the EU and let them dawdle on back into the stone age where their privacy will be completely safe.
And there were a couple pics of her in owl glasses on the Instagram.
No way. *looks again and stares in a different place*
See? They don’t have to be obese!
Nice one, HM.
Speaking of women who are thick…
“Chelsea Clinton has borrowed a line from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the title of her upcoming children’s book, “She Persisted.”…
““I wrote this book for everyone who’s ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet down, for everyone who’s ever been made to feel less than,” Chelsea Clinton said in a statement provided to EW. “With this book, I want to send a message to young readers around the country—and the world—that persistence is power.””
“
If it turned out Chelsea was actually an advanced android it would not shock me one bit. She has all the components of an up and coming progtard politician without a single original thought in her head.
Evidence from a reliable 2-degrees-of-separation colleague says she’s dumber than a box of rocks, which sounds plausible, even factoring in my natural willingness to exhibit confirmation bias.
There was a medical emergency about 2 years ago when she went to the hairdressers. The hairdresser took her earbuds out to do the shampoo and Chelsea passed out. When they listened to the buds, they were repeating “Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out”.
In conclusion, perfect grist for the DNC nomeklatura’s mill.
Eddie, really? Dropping some Chelsea Clinton so soon after ^^^—THAT—^^^
It’s like a free cold shower, you’re welcome.
Speaking of…
No kidding. That is not a cold shower, it is a kick in the nuts.
What is the new avatar Pomp? Is that a headstone?
About 10 years ago I had a colleague that used to basically live at work and neglected his family climbing the corporate ladder. One of the things he used to do was eat at his desk a lot. It’s a drawing of a Dunkin’ Donut bag that had mutated and come to life as an arthoropod. I modeled it on a bag of donuts he had left in his cubicle for so long that it began to attract a small cloud of circulating fruit flies above it.
Ha. What did the inside of the bag look like? Bag shaped fungus?
He pitched it in the trash after I started busting his balls, and was never curious enough to look inside.
Would anybody be surprised if something like 5-10% of Clinton charity donations went towards buying their own books? It’s not like real people are going to buy these things.
Disclaimer: Senators should be as just free to criticize each other as they are to criticize Joe and Jane Sixpack.
But the rules *don’t* allow Senators this freedom.
Rule 19 doesn’t allow Senators to impugn each others’ character…and the rule was passed in response to a quarrel between two Democrats.
But they’re allowed to call each other Russian stooges?
Amy Schumer is a shameless joke thief.

Thicc though
*gags on vomit*
Face. So. Punchable.
Yes. Too cabbage patch-y.
That is…exactly right! It’s so obvious, but I never went “there” in trying to think of a description for her.
Good eye, there. I trust actually looking at here didn’t ruin it.
they are blatant.
Of course… progressives love to steal.
People who think theft is great only think that as long as they are the ones committing it. they sing a different song when they are the victim. Her fellow comedians are going t have her head.
*”I supported Obamacare because I wanted everyone to have healthcare, I just didn’t know I was going to be the one paying for it.”
That’s pretty serious shit in the comedian’s world. They are going to give her a well deserved gibbeting.
Wait, is it wrong now to describe someone as black?
Can someone write these rules down so I can keep track of this shit.
Only if you don’t have enough punches on your white guilt card.
I love when that kind of stuff comes up at work — like there’s 2 guys and nobody caught their names
A: Hey, remember the guy who was wearing the striped tie?
B: Uh….
A: You know, the guy who said that thing about expenses being too high?
B: Hmmm…
A: He had shorter hair
B: OHH – you mean the BLACK guy!
A: What…uh..no…uh..I didn’t..
In the Marines it was always “light green” and “dark green”. As in, go ask for Gunny Smith. He’s a big dark green dude.
But no one ever thought it was wrong to use race to describe a guy.
I like it. Socially I use “canadian”, but not everyone at work is briefed in on that.
Yeah, I’m so unwoke I’m struggling to see how that is the basis for a joke.
When I was in Tanzania, I got used to being frequently referred to as mzungu (white person) not out of insensitivity but because that was the easiest way for someone to identify me or get my attention.
As in, if I was trying to find a place to sit/stand on a bus someone might say “hey white guy, there’s some space over here.”
I hear it’s similar in Japan with the word “gaijin”.
Gaijin actually has some negative connotations depending on context. Asians use racism like Michelangelo used marble.
In the wrestling world, I don’t think it carries a negative connotation. At least not with the gaijin wrestlers themselves
And yes, Japanese racist AF
I have had the same experiences. I was going to post it in Suthens article some days ago, but I read the day stuff late. The US has a thing where a persons skin color is an identity, or noun maybe. Most places I have traveled, a persons skin color is an adjective. But I am unwoke too.
I only heard it used on me when it was behind my back, so I’d propose that it’s at least somewhat insulting.
You’re all just anti-womyn.
You disgust me.
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF ANY STOLE JOKES. WHAT MATTERS IS A) SHE’S A PROG B) SHE’S FUNNY AND C) A WOMAN! Who are those other loser comedians anyway?
IDIOTS.
I’m not buying her ‘I didn’t know’ bit.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about comedians over the years is that they know the history of their craft. It’s a small, tight nit community and culture where it’s very hard to NOT know or have heard of the work of your peers.
She’s lame. There’s just too much there to dismiss as mere coincidence.
Fantastic. Thicc, and by far the choicest of choice yet, HM. Well done sir.
Yeah, I an going to have to say this was a grand slam today.
India: 46 Muslim clerics issue fatwa against singer who sang songs against terrorism and the Islamic State
The fatwa does not say specifically it is because she denounced terrorism, but it came immediately after she began singing about such things.
I just looked her up. If needs a bodyguard I would do her.. IT! I’d do IT!
This is the best threading fail ever.
No threading fail. I was referring to Nahid, the singer mentioned in Derp’s link.
She looks bloody 15 man.
16, apparently, which I did not know at the time. That’s fine. I can wait a year or 2.
I dont see a list of those slimy pederasts there? What gives? Someone should execute a fatwa against those guys and shoot a selfie with their severed heads in a pile. I bet that would put a stop to that shit pronto.
The link doesn’t state what the fatwa was, I’m an idiot and don’t know exactly what a fatwa is, after a quick DDG’ing seems fatwas are like opinions, so it could make a big difference what the fatwa says, are they actually calling for her death or are they just saying we don’t like this?
Well, it’s like a mafia in that way. The clerics can have “clean” hands merely expressing their opinion that her acts are against sharia, all the while knowing that the unspoken ramifications are that the definition of apostasy is acting against sharia and that the penalty for apostasy, as mandated by sharia is death. If a pious Muslim decides to take sharia in his own hands, who are they to stop him?
Exactly. It’s like if the Don casually remarks to one of his underlings “You know, Jimmie would look real good in a pair of cement shoes.” And then, a week later, no one can find Jimmie! What a tragic coincidence.
So your saying that each cleric that issued a fatwa on this more or less issued a death sentence, no room for them just getting their Eddie on? Again I’m no expert but that smells at whole lot like pants-shitting.
‘smells like a’
Assam is a mere hop-skip-and-a-jump away from Bangladesh, where this type of shit happens all the time.

New Rankings. Week 5 enters in 2nd place, barely behind Week 2.
Week 2
Week 5
Week 3
Week 1
Week 4
I was going to chime and say Week 5 is the cutest so far but I don’t remember WK 2.
I don’t remember week 1’s pick. But other than that definitely agree with this ranking. HM has found two amazing Asian girls, and I’m generally not that into Asians. Generally too skinny for my taste, but damn. Nice curvy ones like these two so far are almost as good as black girls. Almost.
That is a tough call. Week 5 or week 2 for second place? Hard.
Damn, I’m a dipshit. Tied for first is the correct answer.
OT: Apparently the Vanderbilt basketball team is entirely peopled with idiots.
“peopled by”
Turns out that the Gophers – after spending all week being outraged at the thought that Middle TN State was favored – turned out to be just who everyone thought they were.
Only game I missed so far today. Fucking gophers…
I missed it too. I was trying to cope with a disaster at work (fucking millenials) and missed it.
Youngest Son was apoplectic when I took a break. He has a hit list for who should get a beating “for playing so stupid”.
Adrian Peterson.
I find going for a long three when down by two and ample time to be worse than what the kid did.
Yes, the last play was the worst, but the foul and the Ent fouling out were also bad. Now I’m not perfect in my money pool. Sad.
Student op-ed: Yes, milk is racist
4chan strikes again.
I posted that in the morning links.
If you ever put “Milk” into a “spot the not” of, like, “Things that college students have called racist”, I might still say that’s the not, because I can’t believe such a thing was actually published.
You might have missed it the first time around:
Spot the Not: things which have been called racist
1. canoes
2. underwear
3. a comedian’s parody of a pop song
4. serving sushi at an college cafeteria
5. the use of the word “master” in a job title
6. criticizing the IRS
7. wanting to own a gun
8. supporting voter ID laws
9. preferring white meat
10. brown lunch bags
11. libertarians
12. a nursery rhyme
13. eating fried chicken in the presence of black people
14. naming your restaurant Obama Fried Chicken
15. refusing to eat fried chicken
Im going to go with 1 but in all honesty I think all of those probably have been SJWed.
Canoes reek of genocide, theft and white privilege, professor claims
I’ll have to go 15. Want to hear about how underwear is racist though.
Victoria’s Secret has been accused of ‘cultural appropriation’ and showcasing ‘racist’ underwear at its fashion show last night.
Good Lord have mercy
Trick question, they’re all racist.
Also, fried chicken.
At work, our company’s black employee group is celebrating Black History Month by serving lunch. Can you guess what happens next? Yes, the brag photos show a bunch of pale skinned folk being served by the employee group.
Is watermelon in season?
Not yet, but it looks like some kind of fried food is being served in the pics.
#6
I’ll take a wild guess and go for #2.
(I would assume 7 has been called racist just because the person hates guns, not because he/she ACTUALLY thinks it’s racist).
Milk is also antisemitic.
apparently the links are dead.
for the hockey people.
Love it!
“Four lines.”
“Of cocaine?”
If you don’t know, there won’t be any alternate sweaters next season while they change brands, so if you like yours I’d get one.
Roommate got his black flyers one today.
I’ll pick one up for the kid. Thanks for the heads up!
no worries, My friends told me last weekend. I should order one before the end of the season. The real problem is what number to get on there.
My friends told me last weekend, so now I’m planning on getting one before the end of the season.
the hard part is picking what number to get on this.
well, I cant post links I guess.
try three?
try 4 for response. No worries, I just found out last weekend.
I never watched Letterkenny. Maybe….I should?
I like it.
OT:
Oh, WaPo…
Immigrants are going hungry so Trump won’t deport them
Illegal immigrants who have been getting food stamps illegally stop doing it because committing a crime prioritizes their deportation. Nice headline, WaPo.
Open borders people should be pleased. This will dispense with the ‘cant have open borders and a welfare state’ argument. I think a lot of masks are about to hit the floor.
Holy guacamole. Are those real? Well, no matter if Ms Li won the genetic lottery, she is thicc in all the right places and absolutely none in the wrong places.
Good job HM!
She claims that they are.
She’s also studying to be a petroleum engineer.
I wonder if she will have a hard time finding a job in that field?
I have quite a few positions available for her.
Yeah, but oil industry types….I dunno.
She’ll be making commissions on $100M deals all day long as a sales engineer.
Just hired a petroleum engineer graduate who hadn’t found work in a year since graduating and moved from West Virginia to Florida for the job. Not sure if that’s indicative of the job market or the particular individual.
I had to get a masters degree just to find a job. Its the market.
Now that I think of it I’m pretty sure he said exactly that to me.
*facepalm*
I have some petroleum jelly she can come over and engineer.
That’s so old fashioned.
Pfft, of course. She be asian after all. And since the courses are graded on a curve, her stacked au naturel ass should give her a bit of an advantage as all the hungry dudes struggle to concentrate.
Which one of you wrote that?
Also OT:
http://deadline.com/2017/03/rachel-maddow-donald-trump-tax-returns-record-ratings-1202043860/
Rachael Maddow gets her highest ratings ever. 4.13 million people for that episode.
I wonder if those new viewers formed an opinion of her show.
Huffpo: Rachel Maddow’s Response To Being Called ‘Sir’ Was Absolutely Priceless
Lesbian Achievement Unlocked: Someone Mistakes You For A Man
Peppermint Patty unavailable for comment.
There’s a peek behind the curtain. Someone should ask ‘Sir’ why they lost the election. I am sure ‘our base is a small portion of the population with special interests far outside the mainstream’ will be the first thing she says.
If I still had enough hair, I’d ask for the Maddow the next time I’m at the barber.
“It’s really quite convenient in unexpected places.”
The urinal?
The House of Lords?
That is hilarious. The high ratings were because of the way the show was billed. I wonder how many sat all the way through and how many will return.
They just keep shooting themselves in the dick over and over and convincing themselves that ‘it isnt what it looks like!’.
Never change lefties. I dont normally like slapstick humor but these guys make the keystone cops look like James Bond. The Connery Bond, not those other fakers.
“the way the show was billed” = they lied.
People tuned in expecting something, and she had nothing.
It’s a great way to drive low ratings even lower, but I’m sure she’s out celebrating her new found “popularity”.
Hawt
So I did a random pick and one of my own. Both are 4/8. I really suck at picking basketball winners.
I’m pretty consistent with 75% first round. 25% of elite eight and final four.
6/8, but everyone who has lost so far I picked to lose in the 2nd round, so I’m still okay.
7/8 but not liking downstream picks. I don’t know shit about basketball, but I’m not sure that’s much of a handicap.
Clearly I know LESS shit about basketball.
I forgot to fill it out. So don’t worry, your score won’t be the absolute worst, no matter what happens.
7/8 so far. Only missed on Northwestern-Vanderbilt. Not bad. I don’t have a lot of hope for it continuing though.
Same for me, but VCU, Purdue and Xavier better pick it up.
Scholar: White people who acknowledge their white privilege actually show their white privilege
I agreed until I got to “and”.
I just ignore these idiots now.
It’s official: You can’t win.
You know if they keep going this way all of the white people are just gonna flip the table and go FUCK IT I’M RACIST! And then they are really gonna have a problem.
I think this rhetorical technique is called “I got you coming and going.”
“Do you admit your white privilege? You have five seconds to think of a non-racist answer!”
Unzips pants
The only proper response is “Fuck off, slaver!”
Hey, I showed her my white “privilege” and she called the cops!
Yeah, watching liberals cluelessly being overtly racist by trying to convey how not racist and how down with the cause they are almost makes me feel embarrassed for them.
The day after the election I remember seeing this NPR-looking lady (Pete’s Schwetty Balls type) standing near the entrance of my office trying to comfort the black security guards. Both these guys are just normal dudes who like sports and their kids, and complain about their wives sometimes. It was ridiculously embarrassing – I can not imagine how awkward these guys felt.
Did she at least speak Jive to them?
Yeah, that’s exactly the kind of thing I’m talking about.
Did you give them the “sorry for this dumb lady” look?
I would’ve.
You aren’t struggling enough in your struggle sessions! Get the whip and the hairshirt!
It’s called “Kafkatrapping”.
Laugh all you like, do you know how hard it is to get an original thesis for PhD? And who is gonna fail her on that topic – some white guy?!
It’s brilliant. Give her a tenure, she showed originality and initiative!
This is phase 2 in the process of achieving Transcendental Wokeness = realizing that your phase 1 of wokeness was simply a process of trying to psychologically exculpate yourself. In phase 2, you lash out at others who are still in phase 1.
Phase 3 of Transcendental Wokeness begins when you discover the Truth about “Mam’s Law“
How bout this thicc dude?
The dude is thick, but not in a good way. Fat bully cop is getting rung up for kicking a(nother) dude in the head. The story shows him kicking a guy even before this for no reason.
For bonus “We are Doomed!” material, check out the kid beating a defenseless guy at about 27 seconds in.

The other day, I heard an inmate on the yard arguing with her friend, and as she walked away, she yelled, “hashtag – I don’t care!!”
School shooting in France. I blame the NRA.
Good to see that the old “rock music is the devil’s work” moral panic is still going strong. I wonder if they’d make a similar statement about hip hop or rap and certain groups of mass shooters in places like Chicago.

Why America needs more Teslas and fewer Ubers
Everyone knows you can’t change the world by building simple platform that connects supply to demand, you have to spend millions in infrastructure and capital investments. And since all corporations are inherently evil, that means that government is the only institution capable of positive change… wow, it’s almost like the world is exactly how I want it to be!
These dipshits are in for a big surprise. When St. Elon comes crashing to earth, it will be fun to watch their suffering.
#bailoutTestla, “you did it for Wall Street, save American jobs,” “oil producer conspiracy” and ,of course, “the Jews did it”.
You have no idea how many fucking times I have had to explain to morons “No, asshole, electric cars are NOT zero emissions. It doesn’t run on liberal tears and unicorn shit, you plug it into the electrical grid to charge it, and that power comes from…. wait for it… A COAL OR NATURAL GAS BURNING POWER PLANT!” You have no idea how many people have literally zero knowledge about how those holes in the walls of their house actually work.
I like to ask them where batteries come from.
Shit, I have a masters degree in engineering and I don’t know exactly where batteries come from. I just know they’re full of the worst heavy metals known to man that we had to strip mine just to get out of the ground.
Congolese mines.
Why do they hate poor people in the Congo?
The metals and mining are the points I want to bring up, although sometimes i word it like “I’m glad we’re mining china instead of here for those batteries!”
Here you go:

Shit, I have a masters degree in engineering and I don’t know exactly where batteries come from.
They come from a bunny’s ass.
I once tried to explain to my proggy sister in law that while electric motors are very efficient (ca 75%), that electricity mostly comes from combustion, which is about 35% efficient, so the actually efficiency is *less* than a gas engine. She had trouble getting that, so I said a process can only be as efficient as its least efficient step. More puzzled looks followed by “but electric motors are so efficient…”
But what do I know? Oh nothing really- just spent an engineering degree which focused on this very topic.
Well, in fairness, power plants are usually more efficient than car engines, but when you factor in transfer and storage losses along with multiple inefficiency calculations it works out very close to the same, and if the power plant you sucked the juice from is coal (which is probably is) you actually did more damage than a gas or diesel engine. Good job!
out of curiosity for my car, do you know how the efficiency of IC engines has changed over time? I thought that 35% was pretty new, any idea on one from the mid 70’s?
From wikipedia:
Most iron engines have a thermodynamic limit of 37%. Even when aided with turbochargers and stock efficiency aids, most engines retain an average efficiency of about 18%-20 %.[31] The latest technologies in Formula One engines have seen a boost in thermal efficiency to almost 47%.
hm, glad to see F1 getting close to half.
Mine is Iron, and was not centered around any sort of efficiency. I’d guess less than 15%.
Yes, but you are forgetting the Awesomeness Effect. It negates silliness like ‘efficiency’.
Today, the cashier girl at the liquor store saw me park and followed me out to take pictures. As I loaded up, she hopped in to take a few selfies from inside. I assume this was because I took the doors off this weekend, but did ask if she wanted a ride around the block.
*nods knowingly*
See?
No way that chick wants pictures in a fucking golf cart.
I totally get that, like 110%!
Megadams are the answer! Greens don’t like those either, though, if they live in areas where hydro dams are feasible (e.g. BC).
They didn’t suffer when Solyndra crashed.
Most of them had never heard of them. Ask a proggie about SolarCity. You will get a puzzled head tilt.
Elon is their hero. Teslas are so awesome, man!
Good ol’ Friedman said something like the main objection to the free market is that it provides people with what they want instead what the Top Men want.
I don’t see either of them ever becoming profitable.
This genius actually worked for Cato at some point. And he likes wearing a tuxedo.
he seems to think that “constant demand for new capital” is a sign of a healthy business, rather than that businesses’ ability to efficiently convert capital into expanding profit-growth
I couldn’t get past the first sentence because it is patently false.
While I’m a fan of the absurd, things sometimes make sense.
Paris IMF letter bomb that injured one was sent from Greece
Most Greeks just talk about it, these guys went and lived the dream.
If it was an Italian bomb there’d be a story about a one handed terrorist in Milan.

“Packages full of loose matches sent to German politicians, intent unknown.”

My goodness, they used the word “far-left”.

Alberta’s debt soars to $45B, but budget has no big cuts, no new taxes
Which is sad, because Alberta was the one province that was debt-free (1993?-2009).
Billion? amateurs. Add a couple zeros and then you’re in the big leagues.
Give them a break – they only had a few years starting from zero, and you are talking province of 4.14 million. Per capita would be couple zeroes right there…
Is that when the price of oil is going back up? It is a shame AB is going down that road. They always seemed to have it together. Taking lessons from us now I see.
Elect NDP, these things happen. What a strange thing, that that one party always has such bad luck…
Or as I’ve seen it “Conservatives/Liberals [as appropriate per province] screw things up then NDP has to fix them, no wonder it’s always deficits”.
My AB friends and family are Wild Rosers. I do know one full fledged communist but he is a transplant from Quebec. He has a Che Guevara tshirt and everything.
They’re really going to have the plunder the Hart Foundation to dig their way out of that hole.
The discourse around this is disheartening.
“Well it’s the PC’s fault, if they had saved and invested for a rainy day, the NDP wouldn’t be so deep in the red when oil prices tanked!”
Yeah, when the state doesn’t tax harder that’s a bad thing.
Dutch election results:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_general_election,_2017
If I understand correctly, 47% of the vote went to three parties who are on the centre/right.
Ah fuck, Romney was right.
Holy crap! Their Labour Party lost 29 seats, down to 9? That’s almost “Tories in ’93*” territory
*For Americans/Millennials: Conservative Party of Canada going from 159 seats and government to 2, yes, two, seats
That was truly a remarkable event. Poor Kim Campbell.
The prime minister who slept with her thesis adviser, wasn’t she?
I don’t remember, heh. And I’d like to keep it that way.
What can’t technology do?
Big data
At my last engineering job, anytime I wanted to do anything (order a part, schedule repair/modification, etc) , I had to use this idiotic program called SAP, which I am convinced was created by the Germans to avenge their defeat in WW2.
My understanding is that it was vital that everyone use this program so the managers could track everything, but why? Never once did they justify a decision based on data gathered from that system. I am reminded of the story of the Hong Kong governor who banned the gathering of statistics because it would only lead to calls to “do something” about them.
It was almost as dumb as the other engineering job I had where they had daily maintenance meetings to argue about how much time was spent on maintenance. I wanted to bust in the room and shout “yo moron: every hour you keep them in here is one less hour they have to fix things!”
Meanwhile, I would be at my desk hoping no one was on AutoCAD so I could actually use it. See, the company was to cheap to pay for enough software licenses, so only one person could use the program at a time.
And then there was the time we spent $20,000 in time in meetings to discuss the purchase of a $3,000 machine and…and
AAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!
I hope the meeting devolved into a debate on the proper use of “less” vs. “fewer”. 🙂
SAP is awful (as a user). I’m grateful I have so far managed to use it as little as possible.
Is it really about collecting data for decision making or just for accounting, especially with SOX requirements?
The vibrator is only $110 or so – stop complaining and pony up!
Big Dada
he likes them thicc too
Ya gotta love Nigeria.
I know all you guys here (sorry to the couple of chicks) are real smart and shit, but I am beginning to question how I got involved with all of you. It’s been on my mind a while, but Gilmore’s Dada link reminded me.
There’s an old saying: How do you know if something you did is wrong/unethical? Would you be comfortable telling your mom (and NO mom jokes, please – that would be sooo immature)?
To clarify: How do you get the links to that shit? Do you have to spend time searching or do you have a secret club that shares all this stuff?
If you have enough orphans to mine the uranium to make your megacorp rich, you have the time to search for obscure and not-so-obscure resources on the web.
in my case, i listen to lots of african music, and at some point my feed pointed me to clips from some Nigerian comedian’s movies (John Okafor). that clip is of a child actor in one of his films, “Mr Ibu”
Its in English. I think. I think they’re sort of like an African version of “Ernest P. Worrell” movies.
I think we have some video of that.
I’m going to create an app that alerts people when they’re about to spend money on something really stupid and pointless. Like a smartdildo.
Most of these big data-type apps are awful.
ERP systems are awful.
Needless to say, big-data ERP systems are particularly awful.
Recently oversaw a port of data from an aging but functional CRM (SalesLogix) to SalesForce. Now, SalesForce is an OK CRM, but my firm wanted some ‘customization’. As it turns out, a LOT of customization.
And now we are Marc Benioff’s bitch. I’m not sure we could get out of this morass, even if I had an unlimited budget.
Holy Jeebus. Once again, thank you HM, you are doing GODS work bring the thicc to the world. This girl is truly amazing.
I don’t feel like my notions of female beauty were both validated and subtly tweaked by this choice.
I knew registering here would pay off. WHAM!
