Holy moly, its only Tuesday? Shit. I’m ready for the long weekend to be here.
It looks like bad news for the people who took the IRA in the pool for the Manchester bombing. “British citizen of Libyan descent” is pretty classic self-radicalizing ISIS-lover. It pains me that all the “sleeper agent” conspiracy theorists were entirely right on outcomes while totally wrong on mechanism.
CNN trying to decide which classic Republican stereotype fits Trump better stupid or heartless and evil. No really, the headline is “Calculating or Naive?”
California recently priced univeral health care and it would cost more than the entire current state budget. There has, of course, been much blaming of kulaks, hoarders, wreckers, and… (I hate to offend you good citizens but we must write it) profit-seeking behavior.
Those stupid Polacks, exploiting their natural resources! How dare they log timber that they didn’t get around to logging at all during the 20th Century!
Scientists sure do have a lot of castings and molds of animal genitalia.
Oh noes, its the hipster/rancher mashupocalypse! I grew up where stock tanks were ponds that someone had dug out in a pasture that cows stand around and shit in, so I am not ever getting in a “stock tank” pool, even if it is a giant beer tub.
Every time I see the word “millenials” in a headline I like to go back and insert some old-timey out group name like “negroes” or “Irish” and read the story. Nine times out of 10, its exactly like painfully racist “progressive” apologia from a century ago. Try it here. Also, Tom Coburn, you’re crazy if you think a Constitutional Convention is going to improve anything.

I guess everybody is still busy in the Morning Links thread.
813 comments in the morning links. Wow.
Nothing like a fusion of Muzzies and borders to pump up a comment count. Imagine if abortion could have been thrown in the mix.

“stupid Polacks”
You peaked my curiosity. Polish jokes thread?
Every Polish joke starts with looking over your shoulder.
Polish jokes are cultural genocide towards my people.
Literally Hitler. No, seriously, I think he’s to blame for that
The meme of attacking German armor with mounted cavalry tends to do that.
And getting invaded in a day.

My favorite billboard from the ancestral homeland.
Nice
Hah My favorite sign in front of a liquor store some five or six or whatever years ago was, “Is the economy driving you to drink? We can help!” They went out of business even with advertising like that.
In Crown Heights, Brooklyn there was once a store (now a luxury high-rise… sigh) with a large hand-painted sign – The Tabo M’beke Everything $0.99 Or More Or Less Store.
Why wasn’t Christ born in Poland?
Because they couldn’t find three wise men and a virgin.

Did you hear about the Polak who thought his wife was trying to kill him?
On her dressing table he found a bottle of “Polish Remover”.
How did the Germans conquer Poland so fast?
They marched in backwards so the Polish thought they were leaving.
Slightly OT, but fun
Some Polish eye-candy
Eh, it’s a fun riff on the Polish plumber anti-immigration campaign. He’s a bit ’90s romance novel cover art for my preferences.

Deeeee lish.
Joke all you want, but those idiots trained a bear to carry artillery used to kill Nazis. http://thesoldierbear.com/wojtek.html
Just to reiterate, they had a freaking bear, who was a corporal in the army no less, delivering artillery used to blow up Nazis. I dare you think of anything more metal than that. That doesn’t involve Vikings, dinosaurs, or chicks in bikinis.
Methinks jesse should be the judge of whether corporal bear warrants attention.
I believe Wojtek is grrizz’s wheelhouse

“Human nature” or “Didn’t prog hard enough”?
Higher taxes on the rich! That’ll do it! Take heart comrades, we’re just one more tax increase away from utopia!
There’s a reason that Northern Europe have relatively low taxes and regulatory burden on businesses.
You run out of rich people’s money real fast, if you can get it before they hurry up and leave. But if you allow the rich to stay in business you can tax their employees mercilessly to keep paying for “free shit”.
This way it takes a lot longer to get to the “Venezuela” stage.
The old, ‘You don’t eat a pig like that all at once’ strategy.
A tax on businesses is just a hidden tax on consumers.

A reminder that this president is his own worst enemy
How can you deal with a baseless conspiracy theory if the high-info opponents embrace it to stay away from jail and the low-info opponents cling to it in order to cope with the collapse of their worldview in the last year or so?
I don’t know, but mentioning it doesn’t help
Polish government is accused of pushing Białowieża forest ecosystem to point of no return with state-sanctioned logging in Unesco world heritage site
Nothing moar government can’t fix
So according to that, even if you took every cent currently going to health care in California and put it towards their universal health care plan, you’d still need another $50-$100 billion to make it work. And I’m taking the over on that number.
The solution: Moar taxes!
So a vote for “Didn’t prog hard enough”?
Even better:
California’s annual revenue from income tax seem to be about $106 billion, according to some google searching. So they’d have to more or less DOUBLE that to actually make this work.
And that’s just to get started. Once it gets bogged down in bureaucracy, incompetence, and indifference, the cost will quadruple.
Then they will need to start punishing those evil profit-seekers, which means a collapse of the private health-care market. Which means fewer people working and paying taxes to keep the wheels greased for their shiny new machine.
Next: Venezuela.
New York came to same conclusion: double to quadruple current taxes. Let’s see who makes it happen first!
It won’t work in any state, but it will work in all states!
As I noted on the Other Site, California’s GDP is roughly that of France. They are like the 6th largest country in the world by GDP. And it’s still not enough “economies of scale” to make it work.
What’s the over/under?
How about they raise the fare on the high-speed rail?
That should fix the problem.
I don’t know, in the short term it could be a net benefit to the state as in some ways it would be very attractive to businesses to have a fixed known cost for employee health benefits in the form of a set tax, the problem is once instituted every single person in the country (and in countries to the south) with severe health problems is going to be trying to move to California overloading the system and raising costs.
You also have the fact that the only way to come up with that extra $50 billion would be to tax the rich even more and that would serve to drive ever more of them out of the state.
You’d probably be looking at a situation where if they implemented it the impact would be roughly neutral to possibly slightly positive to the California economy for 5 – 10 years and then the bottom would drop out and by the 20 year mark California would be in Federal recievership
While no doubt California would, as part of any tax hike scheme, hit the upper incomes the hardest on an individualized basis, they’d still have to hit the middle incomes pretty hard in aggregate to actually get the revenue. I debunked the myth that “the rich” have all the (taxable) income a while back on H&R (at least, for the country as a whole). Ten million people making at least $100,000/year is a far richer tax target than ten thousand people making $10,000,000/year.
That, and Brad Pitt lives in Lousiana. Robert Redford lives in Wyoming. Bruce Willis lives in Idaho.
Good luck taxing the rich.
Doesn’t matter where you live, it matters where you work, so massive tax hikes on the rich will serve to drive movie production, especially the actual filming part with the actors out of California entirely
Let other people (the feds) pay for it!
So when the rest of the country wants it and it busts the fed budget, do we demand the rest of the world pay for it?
But people can afford higher taxes if they don’t have to pay for healthcare which is a basic right!
The animal genital castings made me think of this

Hiding in plain sight: how the ‘alt-right’ is weaponizing irony to spread fascism

You can’t spell ‘IRON Cross’ without ‘irony’. Seriously, irony is evil now or something
This explains the humorlessness of feminism.
Seriously, bring back the old Puritans. They may have been shocked and scandalized by human behavior but they weren’t offended by it.
Yeah isn’t it ironic?
| “But there were no swastikas or shaved heads in sight.”
But the assumption is they’re nazi’s anyway.
When in doubt, just call everyone you disagree with a Nazi
There ought to be a name for this behavior, when a journalist accidentally admits that their whole premise is a lie, and then doubles down on it.
“We all know” they’re Nazis, so the lack of swastikas proves that they’re extra super secret Nazis, which are the worst kind!
Wasn’t this Jon Stewart’s entire shtick?
During the Bush years it was, then his schtick became sucking Obama dick and calling everyone a NAZI.
Someone already posted this, but as Peterson touches on here, the counter culture of the alienated is being demonized because it’s so effective at mocking the mainstream.
The hyperventilating of the progs mainly has the effect of keeping attention away from their IMO more pervasive bigotry.

“It’s like meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful… husband” – Alanis changing the words to the song when I saw her in concert once (DON’T JUDGE ME OK)
She needed to go full woke and just say “meeting his beautiful Shetland pony”.
“It’s like meeting the beautiful non-binary genderqueer person of my dreams and then meeting xir pansexual partner”
What is “woke”?
Dunno.
I believe she did that for the Jagged Little Pill 20th Anniversary edition.
Saw her in concert in ’08 (I SAID DON’T JUDGE ME), and she did the line then. It was popular in the crowd.
I’m trying really hard not to judge you, bro.
Dude, you can just say you’re girlfriend or wife dragged you to it, no judgement, we’ve all been there. And hey, that excuse works even better if you’re not a dude.
Also don’t you live a hop-skip-and-a-jump from a gay ghetto? Were you the one I was talking to about the Pink Pistols fellow shortly after the Pulse shooting happened?
I’m assuming if you went to an Alanis Morisette concert anywhere near your home turf you were the only straight man there.
My wife dragged me to it.
…and it was actually a Matchbox 20 concert with Alanis.
And yes, I’m a hop skip and jump from Wilton Manors, America’s second biggest gay ghetto.
Thank you. I could not come up with Wilton Manors for some reason. Also I WILL judge you for the Matchbox 20 concert. That’s unforgivable.
It’s ok. I saw Alanís Morrisette too.
Because Garbage was opening for her and that’s who my brother and I went to see.
Shirley Manson. mmmm…
WTF is that accent doing there?
I’m so tired of the word “weaponized”. How about saying “people I disagree with use irony in a way I don’t like”? Why is everything weaponized these days? It’s like the word has been weaponized.
What about us pedants who get triggered by the misuse of the word ‘ironic’. Rain on your wedding day is not ironic. It might be foreshadowing, but it is not fucking ironic.

UK Police are investigating Kate Hopkins for writing that ‘Western men’ (whatever that means) should ‘stand up’ and demand action against terrorism (again, whatever that means). After a suicide bombing, UK police have their priorities straight: ‘let’s investigate this woman for offending feelz’. Speech police- coming to a country near you (or already arrived, if you live in Canada)
Actually one of the few good things the Tories did while in power was make it so you can’t be charged or dragged in front of the Human Rights Tribunal for speech on the internet.
Is this Canada? Because I’m pretty sure in the UK people get chucked in jail for tweets all the time.
Yeah it’s Canada, UK’s way more into the Big Brother thing.
Good for the Tories. Nonetheless, you can still be dragged before the tribunal for saying something offensive in public, no? I thought that was the case, but I haven’t ventured north in some time
Basically, if someone complains about a public statement and the court deems it a worthy case, yes. It’s usually very retarded stuff involving comedians making jokes about cripples and what-not. But cases like Steyn’s and Levant’s have been slowly degrading the institution over the years. I was hoping that the Tory legislation was a sign that it was on its deathbed, but then Zoolander got elected because the universe hates me.
Your prime minister is a woke pretty boy. That’s got to be a kick in the pants.
I semi-retract that. I just remembered who is president.
Zoolander is Canada’s Obama. We tend to take ideas and double down on them. We learned it from watching you!
And Macron is France’s Obama. Pretty boy blank slates all the way down.
I like Mark Steyn’s analysis, that these elections are about very consequential things, but everyone is pretending they are about nothing.
That is so awesome. I use that line all the time and most people either give that “I’m laughing because I think I’m supposed to” laugh, or just give me a blank stare.
If Trudeau is Canada’s Obama, and you all take our ideas and double down on them, then I can’t wait for the fun when it’s your turn for Canadian Trump. I can’t even imagine what a Canadian Trump would be like, but I’m sure he/she will be entertaining.
Like this?
For awhile this guy was seen as the possible Canadian Trump, but he quit the Tory leadership race after his Anglocentrism didn’t play so well in Quebec.
Canadian Trump would be a weird phenomena, because we largely have a points based immigration system already and our economy is basically dependent on free trade deals. I suppose Canadian Trump would instead focus on things like not taking in any more ‘Syrian’ refugees, balancing the budget (important), scrapping the Liberals’ carbon tax plan (important), taking down some regulations and possible cartels (great), and maybe even actually funding the military so that it’s actually functional at what Ottawa demand it does (also great).
In short, Canadian Trump would likely be better than regular Trump.
Like this?
Naw, Ford was Canada’s Marion Barry.
Also, he’s dead.

I don’t understand why this even needs to be said. If a male raped a young boy in front of everyone at a public pool in our community, there would be no need for the family to worry about the court releasing said piece of shit due to “cultural differences”. Acknowledged and public child rapist would be strung up from the nearest tree on the spot with the assistance of local law enforcement.
What has happened to the men of Europe?

I thought libertarians were about individuals, not team! Principles, principals, schmincipals…
In all seriousness, it depends on the millennial. I think that on the right, millennials are making conservatism more libertarian and cool, which I think is a great thing. The millennial left, though…
While libertarians believe in the primacy of the individual that does not prevent us from recognizing that identifiable groups with common characteristics exist.
The difference between a Prog when they say “ugh white males suck” and a libertarian when they say “ugh millenials suck” is that when the Prog meets a white male they automatically assume that he sucks in exactly the same way all other white men do and when the libertarian meets a millenial they assumes that he us a unique human being until he proves that he is just another run of the mill millenial.
As a Millennial I can safely say that I’m rather annoyed that spoiled middle class urbanites are apparently the defining example used of my generation.
I second that
Did you say that ironically?
Technically, I am a millennial. But, I have the blackened heart of a crotchety 70 year-old man
I have a similar issue. Only once has somebody called me out on it when he noted that I actually knew the words to a “modern song.”
As a proud millennial myself (only just turned 26), I can safely say that the “problems with millennials” cross generations and can be attributed to the left in general, not just from my generation.

It’s almost like the wealthiest section of the population is using the poorer and younger section to pay for their lifestyles in old age.
But that’s just crazy.
It’s a few hours on, and this is undoubtedly going to be a stale thread…
You’re right that it is the elderly are the wealthiest segment of the population on average. The push, when it comes, will be to means-test social security. It will remove the “too rich!” from the rolls.
But the contribution of the youngest and poorest section of the population won’t change. The burden won’t be shifted. It will just become “fair” like all the other welfare.

I’m sure Logan McCree, German military medic, turned DJ, turned gay for pay pornstar, turned Scottish firefighter, turned gay for pay pornstar (again) could tell us.

I have a hard time believing that someone who engages in gay for pay porn activity wasn’t quietly at least a bit gay before starting.
That gets us pretty deeply into the cultural construction of sexual identity and why quite a bit of it is hooey, but I have no problem believing someone can be primarily interested in women, but work in gay porn. I don’t there there are as many Kinsey zeroes and sixes as our current cultural norms make it seem.
\Googles kinsey…
OK, now your statement makes sense.
I have found (and read at least some corroborating evidence) that men are much less sexually flexible than women, which is why there are significantly fewer (at least openly) bisexual men than women.
Counterpoint: Greece and Rome (and British boarding schools)
More serious answer: that’s where you start getting into the cultural construction aspect of sexual orientation. It’s kinda hot when two girls get it on and there’s a strongly coded disgust when two men do, so you get less of it and more aggressive rebuffing of it. As that has rapidly changed you’re starting to already see shifts in it.
You forgot prison.
Aaron Hernandez didn’t, however.
I left out prison and the navy intentionally although I suppose I should’ve left off boarding schools as well at that point. Middle Eastern cultures also have some…interesting dynamics. I blame Alexander the Great though…so still Greek.
I think a lot of that (Greece, middle east, prison) Is simply horny guys with nothing to stick their dick into but each other. Horny can make some guys do some really desperate shit. I agree that there is a cultural bias away from male bisexuality but I don’t think that in and of itself is enough to explain the difference.
To my understanding Alexander the Great encouraged such behavior since prostitutes were a hindrance to a traveling army. Boys were a better choice in his mind since boys do not get pregnant and eventually they grow into soldiers.
@Vhyrus
Still. If you’re fucking a goat while thinking of Mai Nishida, does that change the empirically observable fact that you are fucking a goat? Is then it wrong for people to call you a goat-fucker?
Asking for a friend.
I dunno. I don’t think you can really read Greece and Rome as a lack of places to stick your dick. That’s why I should’ve left boarding school out as it strays too obviously into the territory of situational homosexuality. Authors at the time very openly weighed and discussed the benefits of banging equally beautiful men and women and their preferences for each. And places like the middle east could handle the need for sexual outlet and a strictly gender-segregated society with younger marriages, but it doesn’t quite come together that way in the middle east.
There weren’t enough straight porn roles available…? Yeah, I don’t buy it either.
I think traditionally there was quite a bit more money for men in gay porn. I don’t know if the democratization of porn via the internet has changed that at all.
Also McCree may identify as bi, I don’t really remember, but he has said he wanted to settle down and marry a woman.
If that’s accurate, I’d want to be very sure of myself if I was a heterosexual gal of marriageable age and questionable taste in body scribblings before taking the plunge with him.
So since it says he can have sex with it presumably he has at least some normalish level of sensation in the new member, given that I’d just deal with it being the wrong color before I let someone stick a needle in the head a few hundred times

From the introduction:
“This is the story of how it all unraveled again for Hillary. We expect that it will generate a feeling of righteousness, and perhaps a touch of sympathy, in those of you who don’t like her. For many of Hillary’s millions of supporters, we know that it will leave you feeling shattered all over again.”
So, a win-win for the authors.
From the comments: “The cops gave the man a high-five and let him go”

“I’d hate to have to tell Mama and Daddy I got arrested for such as that.”
Mama, not so much. Daddy couldn’t have been prouder if I had three Super Bowl rings.
I’d have to bleach my hand if a cop ever gave me a high five.

Probably would on the 19 year old although she somehow looks better in her booking photo than she does in her wedding photos, absolutely would not on the 26 year old
That’s a rough 26.
Before 20, God and genetics makes your face. After 20, you make your face.
Black don’t crack.
Asians don’t die.
If I understand correctly, the 19 year old got married last month to a guy that was not involved.
That is what the Daily Fail is reporting, she got hitched on April 28th and the guy in the wedding photo is definitely not the guy in the booking photo but looking at the pictures I’m not certain that the 19 year old in the booking photo is the same person as the wedding photo unless she had a nose job in the last 2 weeks.
It could be the difference in lighting and makeup but they don’t really look like the same person.
Those are definitely ‘Moped Girls’.
Fun to ride, don’t let your friends see you.
Two fives count as a ten.
…out of 20.
“absolutely would not on the 26 year old”
Not solo, but probably would if I was getting a twofer out if it. You don’t have to look at at her face.
“Triple-D” is not apropos.
to resident chemists about those stock tanks… i don’t suppose chlorine will effect that galvanized steel ??
where’s amsoc when we need him?
It rhymes with “blottopalacio.”
Grotto de Blasio?
Enrico Palazzo is here?
Auto felatio?
The zinc coating will protect the steel from corrosion, but it has its limits too. As long it doesn’t get scratched though, it should last quite a while. I guess it depends on the pH of the water. I’m guessing pool water is either adjusted to be neutral or is basic if just left with the chlorine (chloramine, bleach, or whatever form it comes in) and not adjusted. So as long as the water isn’t acidic, the zinc should hold up.
Oh, well then. Carry on.
In all honesty I think most companies, especially large ones would be more than happy to pay roughly the same amount in taxes offload their responsibility for providing employee health care as it removes the uncertainty in their costs and budgeting
https://www.facebook.com/Morrissey/posts/1349891061714098
Morrissey (the singer) is raging
Huh, didn’t see that coming – isn’t Morrissey usually a reliably loony left type?
Yeah, which makes it so weird. I guess kids getting murdered for no reason has an effect on some people where they put aside politics. You know, decent people, unlike a lot of the Left
He’s gay, so I’d guess he’s pretty anti-Islam.
I thought he was asexual.
There are some sects on the left, usually the super-atheist types like Harris, Maher, and the Secular Talk guy, that really don’t like Islam. Not sure if Morrissey fits that viewpoint or not.
Yeah, but sometimes they venture into the territory of just being religious bigots. I’m not saying that the entire Muslim faith should be attacked for the actions of terrorists. There has got to be a sane middle ground between pretending like these attacks have nothing at all do to with Wahhabism, so we should instead deflect and talk about non-existent ‘right wing terrorist’ attacks and people who just declare ‘Islam is cancer’ without knowing anything about the faith or the diversity of its practitioners.
That’s crazy Just Say’n, you need to either be hysterical about the evil Muslim collective that want to rape your daughters or hysterical about the evil Nazis who are just waiting to put them in camps. There is no possible middle ground, you need to freak out some way.
No, many people are rationally in the middle ground in the other thread you just flailed around refuting claims they never said.
Sorry, ‘middle ground’ is not ‘deport peaceful people living here legally because you don’t like their religion’ which was ‘Free Society’s argument. That’s hysteria, not rationality. By ‘many people’ you actually just mean him, but reality and honesty never gets in the way of immigration hysteria.
And again, he said ‘physically possible’, didn’t refute my point about citizenship multiple times, and then suddenly backtracked on it, while still implying it might be necessary in the future. Somehow I don’t believe him, for some mysterious reason.
Actually John, I stated in very basic and clear terms several times what I was arguing and repeatedly corrected you as you put words in my mouth. Then when I restate the argument in different terms to make perfectly clear how you’re misrepresenting me, you then claim I’m backpeddling. It’s maddening. It NEVER fails with you. You always conduct yourself in a debate dishonestly and I think anyone who goes back an looks at the slew of petty insults and misrepresentations that constitutes a “conversation” with you, will see how dishonest you are.
Congrats though, once again you handily refuted the arguments I never made.
Actually, if one actually looks at the conversation, I mention it several times explicitly and you say nothing, only to then backtrack and shred crocodile tears about how you don’t want to force out citizens yet (after, of course, a long, whiny collectivist rant about how you dislike Muslims). And of course, peaceful people living here legally get forced out, because ‘Free Society’ doesn’t like them, constantly dehumanizes them and is afraid of them.
You are an authoritarian collectivist, run along to the alt-right where you belong.
You always conduct yourself in a debate dishonestly
Spew some more childish rants about positions I said nothing on and how I’m left-wing because I’m not as hysterical as you, hypocrite.
Why on earth would I think your credibility is garbage after your dishonesty and temper tantrums about Muslims?
Yeah everyone who disagree with you must not know shit about Islam. I guess Bin Laden never cracked open the Quran to see what was inside. Same is true for ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, etc. All the countries with Sharia law are fucked up and read the same typo. The millions of Muslims polled about their beliefs got some bad info. But random American guy on the internet knows more Islam than millions of people who live it and worship it.
See above for screaming hysterics of random American guy on the internet pretending Muslims are a monolithic blob of evil.
See Salon for screaming hysterics of random American on the internet pretending all Muslims are pure and noble and anyone critical of them is a monolithic blob of evil.
Truly insightful perspectives from both.
Islam is a group characterized by an ideology. It is your own personal mental defect that keeps you from recognizing that ideoplogical groups share characteristics without being completely homogenous. You do this blathering on a website that is characterized by another ideological group known as libertarians
Just in the post above you’ve refuted that “ALL” Muslims this and that even though you had to make up the “ALL” to have an argument. Do you think it goes unnoticed by people reading that that particular addendum had to be added so you could attempt an argument? Arguing in bad faith shows the weakness of your position.
Yes, my “mental defect” is to have a nuanced and individualist view of people, how silly of me, I should have a collectivist and paranoid tribalist view like ‘libertarians’ such as yourself.
Simple question Bob: do you believe that peaceful Muslims living in the West legally, not even citizens, should be deported based on your views of their religion? If you do, you believe in collective punishment based on some tribal association, and you are not a libertarian.
He’s left, but … nationalist. It’s very confusing to some people, but 4chan /pol/ had a big thread about how he is /theirguy/ …
Wow, when even Morissey starts to get on the Anti-SJW bandwagon, you know you’ve lost it.
Political shifts always start with shifting the culture. This is why folks like Milo are valuable even if you don’t like everything that he’s said.
Isn’t he a vegan fascist sort? So what does he care about a few dozen, presumably, meat-eaters getting killed?
He’s complicated.
Razorfist on the slow death of Fox News.
It’s like Dennis Miller and Lewis Black had a baby.
He really needs more money. A lot more money. Like, I want to see him report the news.
I like him.
He reminds me of a less circumspect Penn Gillett
Rotund Penn was more everything… RIP that guy.
I changed my mind. He reminds me of Penn Gillett and Dee Snider’s unholy child.
That’s perfect
Bookmarked. His channel is way to many fuck, shits and goddamns for work.
They really should put their ideas in print, since it’s so much quicker to read an article than watch a Youtube video.
Went to visit my sil at the bar she tends. Saw the cutest girl chatting with her about getting a job there. Pixie cut, cocktail dress, curvy (actually curvy, not Everyday Feminism curvy). She caught my eye a couple times and smiled… Cool, I think, maybe she’ll be working here and I have an in. This is how it normally happens for me, introduced through someone. Cool! There’s fate in the air.
Nah. Turns out there’s a backlog of applicants. SIL told her to try her luck elsewhere.
And you didn’t step in and offer to interview her for a position with your bar?
I wouldn’t need the intermediary were I accustomed to interceding on my own behalf.
I probably still would, actually. Going pro se, I’d have a fool for a client. I need an advocate to plead my case.
SHOW HER WHAT YOU’VE GOT!
BOO
DISQUALIFIED
I’m an Glibertarian editor…
And girls want to fuck Glibertarian editors. Let it piss you off as much as you want, but you know it’s completely true. That girl you like who is kinda cute in a weird way, but is totally sweet and you have the biggest crush on? The one who keeps going back to guys who treat her wrong for reasons you don’t understand? The one who calls you up at 1 am to cry about how her boyfriend hasn’t called her in 3 days, and no matter how long you listen to her, she’ll never think of you as anything other than asexual? The one who will curl up next to you on the couch, hug you close, kiss you on the cheek, and never let you fucking touch her beyond that?
Yeah, I’m fucking her.
The hot girl who won’t even look at you when you nod at them and smile? The one who laughs when you trip in the hallway and drop your stuff? The one who comes up and coyly aks for your help with her homework, and then pretends you don’t exist once you finish?
Yeah, I’m fucking her too, even harder.
The curvy girl with the pixie-cut in the cocktail dress that you think might be enough like you that you have a chance with her? She’s so incredible and you just love her so much but you still haven’t worked up the courage to tell her how you feel about her?
Guess who just sucked me off and told me they’ll always love me?
And what’s more? I laugh at guys like you. When you cry about how much girls treat you bad, and wonder why they can’t just see that you’re a nice guy who would always treat them right? I nod and tell you to hang in there, you’ll find someone right for you someday, don’t give up hope man. But inside? I’m laughing my ass off at you you pathetic fuck. Every girl you set your sights on, who isn’t a disgusting pig-monster, I’m going to fuck 6 ways from Sunday before you even tell her you think she’s cute. I won’t bother trying when you finally settle for that 350 pound girl who works at Hardees, you can have that. Anything else I’m going to cum on her face before you get those lips near it. And the biggest reason I laugh? It’s not me doing all this. It’s the girls. When you cry about how lonely you are? Or talk about how you just want to curl up and disappear, and all that mere Glibertarian commenter bullshit? You’re triggering her “Don’t Fuck” instinct something fierce. You’re a miserable weak coward, why would she want your genes? Feel free to buy her a new computer and help her decorate her apartment, you’re great for that. But her baby-maker is barking orders at her, telling her to wrap her legs around me and hold on for as long as she can. She needs it, on a primal level you’ll never get to see first hand, even if you do get a chance to fuck her. Sooner or later one of them will lay back and spread their legs, but you won’t see any hunger in their eyes. They won’t beg you to love them forever and make them yours. You won’t know what it’s like to see her animal side needing you as much as she needs to eat and breath.
And she’s cheating on you, I promise that. When she sits around quiet and uncomfortable, acting irritable and irrational towards you, wanting you to just back away and leave her alone, it’s not her period. It’s because I haven’t called her for a day or two and her instincts are telling her to go find me. The primitive section of her brain doesn’t want to risk smelling like another man when she gives herself to me, she wants me to know she’s completely mine. We do things together she tells you she never would. Her pooper? Mine. I want to give her a facial? of course. I want her to suck the cum out of my dick, even though I just finished pumping away at her ass? she’s never going to tell me no. She doesn’t WANT to tell me no. She wants me to know she’ll do anything it takes to keep me. She’ll rim my ass while she’s down there sucking me off if it means pleasing me. She’ll drink my cum from a shotglass. She’ll wear a buttplug when we go out to dinner. She’ll sleep handcuffed to my headboard. Anything.
And then she’ll go home to you and tell you she’s not in the mood today.
I’d say you should go back to the other site, but you being around makes her want a real Glibertarian editor all the more, so keep fagging it up Glibertarian commenter bitches, I’ll keep that pussy warm while you’re crying in the corner.
I could never pretend that I don’t love you,
You could never pretend that I’m your man.
That’s exactly the way that I want it,
That’s exactly the way that I am.
And you call me in the morning with your troubles,
Takin’ it downtown every night
I could never place the stars at night above you.
I got my hands on the ground, and you know I’m right.
Contribute an article, commodious. That will at least get you a 6.
Heroic Longtorso?
I’ll contribute an article about why I think song meanings is wrong about that trampled by turtles song.
Suki’s dead, man.
Suki’s dead.
The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,
Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.
Tooo funky,
Funky in here!
There will be many more, but don’t waste too much time looking
OK, here’s the best piece of advice I can give you: Face your fears and just talk to her. Just strike up a conversation. She may well shoot you down if you ask her out. And so may the next one. And the next one. But every time you try it, the next time will feel a little easier. Every time you chicken out, the next time will feel a little harder. You’re letting opportunities pass you by.
Nah, I get all that. It’s getting around the social anxiety that makes my throat seize up . I normally have a radio voice. When I worked at the law office I’d use my black voice for collections. I was authoritative and commanding. Was. If I could parlay that in casual conversation, I’d be set. As it stands, it’s a struggle to start a conversation at all. I don’t know what happened.
I used to dream of doing voice work. Reading aloud, nonfiction. I love the industry and I loved the idea. Now? Not a chance. I can barely make myself heard in a crowd, and when I do, I hate what I hear. I don’t know what happened. Something changed.
Take public speaking class and or find the local chapter of the Toastmasters. They’ll set you right.
Puberty? 😉
I don’t now, man. I’m miserable. I used to sing. Anymore, it’s mumbling. I don’t know.
Any chance you’re losing your hearing?
I think Warren has it right, I just need to apply myself.
Practice, man! The first time Jimi Hendrix picked up a guitar I guarantee he sucked at playing it. But he didn’t give up. Social anxiety is the same way. Talking to people is horrible, and with a little practice it’s just difficult, and with a little more practice, it’s a nuisance. Eventually you’re doing it without even trying, and that cute girl thinks you’re funny and charming, and she’s asking for YOUR number.
It’s too bad the Dudley Moore/Peter Cook Bedazzled is out of print on DVD.
Check out Amazon. It’s available over there. One helluva movie.
You’re SIL was right there, and she works at a bar. You should have tagged her in as your wingman. Unless you have some drama with your SIL, she could have totally hooked you up with that hotty.
