Happy Friday, Its already beer-thirty here at Glibs HQ (Florida). I’m enjoying a Tampa Lager Cigar City, close enough I can drive to, far enough I don’t go very often because my wife bitches about the cost of the Uber ride home.
When NPR and Google do it, GMO is the future! I’d love for all the mosquitoes to go sterile and die.
I feel like Tom Friedman when I cheered a little about this.
You know who else didn’t want migrants to breed?
Florida Man fails at his Thelma & Louise impression.
A little bit of cheesiness to get your Friday afternoon kicked off. Fun fact, if you play it at double speed it sounds like an actual thrash-metal band.

Denmark sure has a heck of a lot of nerve promoting birth control for black people while their whole country is shaped like a dick.
I don’t care about that, but I DO care that Denmark is the land of open faced sandwiches. Fuck Smørrebrød and fuck you too Denmark. You gave us Kierkegaard so we won’t nuke your sorry asses but you guys are officially on notice!
Complaining about Scandinavian cuisine is like complaining about Italian engineering or German humour, it just makes you look crazy.
Italian Engineering has it’s high points.
Admittedly, some of those were about two thousand years ago…
Roman engineering versus Italian engineering.
But what have the Romans ever done for us?
Bavarians have humor.
Ever heard of surströmming? Makes lutefisk sound appetizing.
I don’t know, I’ve never surströmmed before, *giggle.*
Uffda! Ted, lutefisk is appetizing.
Don’t go bashing Italian engineering over on Reasonoids, you will find yourself up against spirited defenders.
I don’t know, I always enjoyed Danish butter cookies when my mom used to buy them in those big tins.
On the other hand, I have a memory of her giving up canned Danish bacon as a kid, which was so salty that we couldn’t eat it. Who cans bacon? And why the hell did we have it in the first place? Ain’t no Danes in the family tree.
Giving US….damn you autocorrect.
Sure it wasn’t canned ham? That used to be very popular.
Nope, it was bacon. My dad still brings it up sometimes to tease her.
Ah… memories of German Dosenfleisch – canned “meat” (parts).
HOW DARE YOU!!!1!
Meh.
Fuck Smørrebrød
Whoa there buddy.
Some people will fuck anything.
Especially in my north Minneapolis neighborhood.
Hey! They also are the ones who invented the cherry Danish.
Actually Danish pastries were actually invented by Austrians. Stupid Europe.
hmmmm need to add one more ‘actually’
When are you moving to Tampa? Did you guys find a place yet?
Dr. Girlfriend is there right now house hunting, but is flying back tonight so she has to pull the trigger on something. So far she likes Carrolwood and New Tampa areas. She’s moving there in a week or so and I’m staying here for another month to pack up the house, tie up loose ends, and train the poor bastard that will replace me at work.
Hopefully we’ll be settled in for real by mid September.
Sweet. Good luck.
Danke. I’ll update you when we get there and maybe we can grab a beer at some point. Or go halfsies on a meth lab or something. Also, I’m sort of contemplating getting USF season tickets right behind the bench so I can show up in burnt orange and relentlessly heckle Charlie Strong. I hear that being a dipshit and general public nuisance is how you fit in as a Floridian so I want to get a jump on acclimating.
Also, I’m sort of contemplating getting USF season tickets right behind the bench so I can show up in burnt orange and relentlessly heckle Charlie Strong.
This might be the greatest idea ever
You need to tell that to Dr. Girlfriend. She seems to think that spending ~$700 and like 24 hours of real time on an elaborate prank that might end up getting her fired from her new job is a BAD idea. I’m still leaning towards yes though.
I lived in Tampa when I was a kid. All I remember is mosquitoes and the sultry, humid heat.
I live in the Carrollwood area. Let me know if you want any insights…
Appropriate.
The Austrians are responsible for the Danish pastry.
Dammit!
Wait, I can save this, you what else the Austrians were responsible for?
FALCO!!
Hayek?
the Governator?
Barbara Schett?

Damn auto-correct. That’s Hedley, of course.
HEDDY!
What the hell are you worried about? This is 1874. You’ll be able to sue her.

The word “Weiner”?

“Danish pastry” as it exists in the US basically can’t be had in Denmark. The closest thing is called “Viennese bread”, is made from puff pastry, and NEVER FUCKING CONTAINS CHERRIES YOU BARBARIAN.
i have never really accepted the idea that a pile of meat with gravy on it is a “Sandwich”
Chicken a la king isn’t a sandwich. But roast beef and gravy is. That’s not consistent. Then again, no one eats “closed” chicken a la king sandwiches.
I dispute this.

How do you find the actual boundary between a property and the road?
To explain, after the brush with Code Enforcement, I started researching the property lines. My lot is five feet wider than my house on the tax records, but the road is more than five feet from the edge of the house. I’m wondering if my property edge is actually the sidewalk and I own some of the alley, or if my north wall is actually on someone else’s land (I could file adverse possession for it though, since the house is 100+ years old)
Depends on the locality i do believe. Just spend 3 or 4 hours digging through city and state planning guides and you should find your answer.
Where would I look to find them? Google gave me nothing relevent for my city.
Go to your local courthouse. You should have no trouble finding a bureaucrat thats happy to help. Id dig into county and city bylaws. Localities still think its 1967, cant be having useful info on a website
My county has a very nice website for looking a property maps and taxes. Not sure on how exact they are but it could be a place to start.
I found that map, but the problem is translating the lines on the map to the real world – the tax map does not contain anything that will help me fix those boundaries without hiring a surveyor. Hense my question about finding the edge of the road and the start of my lot as far as the tax map is concerned.
Take a tape measure from the crown of the road.
I’d complain about the improperly contoured road and the traffic, but those are a given in New York…
I’m the Tax Map, yeah, I’m the Tax Map…..
/Beatles as sung by Dora the Explorer
Taxation! Is! Theft!
Pop culture intersectionality. I dig it.
It’s no secret that I would pay ten grand to fuck Dora the Explorer in the ass. Ten grand.
Get a survey.
I may need to. I ran out there and got a measurement from the middle of the road.
The road width on the tax map is 60 feet. From the middle of the road to my wall is 30. I may own the whole alley, as it’s 5 feet from my house to the building next door. (The same five feet my lot is wider than my house…)
Dammit.
$1,000 to get a boundary survey done.
I may own the whole alley
If you do, there’s probably an easement on it, in which case it’s about as much use to you as not owning it. Probably not worth paying for a proper survey unless you are selling or building.
The “Alley” has a fence gate on it, and is the walkway between my house and the apartment house next door. In other words, I may actually have a lawn to yell at people to get off of.
I may actually have a lawn to yell at people to get off of
In that case, congratulations. Happy yelling!

OT: Sorry. SHADOWBOY arrived today. I’ll dive into this weekend.
I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think.
I read it in one sitting. Really enjoyed it. I like that you dove into some of the finance and liabilities of super heroing. 5 stars.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
If you know anyone who might like it, would you be so kind as to tell them it exists?
Certainly. My wife saw the cover and thought it looked interesting. I’ll make her buy her own copy though.
I read some on my flight here. I don’t know if others can tell your political leanings, but I could! it’s been great so far.
I got the kindle bundle you pimped a while ago.
I try not to prostyltize conservatism in my writing.
(I’m not a Libertarian, but I have a strong dislike of government interference. Being employed by one only reinforced that)
The public right of way is measured from the center of the road. Your property starts where the right of way ends. Sidewalks are generally in the public right of way, but you a legally required to maintain the sidewalk and can be sued if someone is hurt on the sidewalk. Clear as mud.
It actually varies. Sometimes, the city/county/whatever owns the road and your property line buts up against the road. Sometimes, the road sits on an easement over your land, and your property line is wherever it is.
If you are seriously trying to figure out where your property line is because its going to affect something, you just about have to hire a surveyor to stake out the actual property line. If you had a survey done when you bought the house (required by a lot of mortgage lenders), then that’s probably got all the info you need for more informal purposes.
No survey was required when the sale happened.
I want to be certain who owns what with the very close neighbor buildings.
No survey was required
Then your title insurance doesn’t cover the boundaries you think you bought.
I have a piece of property right now that the (dirt) road kinda runs down one property line – at some points, I have a few yards on the other side of the road. When I lived in WI, my property line was right down the middle of the highway in front of my house. Other houses have had property lines on the curb (basically).
There’s no standard pattern. I hate to say it, but you probably need a survey. For properties less than a couple acres, I’ve never paid more than around $350 for one.
This. Sometimes you own the property up to the crown of the road, and there is a public easement for the road, maybe the sidewalk, maybe the ally. Sometimes, you don’t.
This is not something you can figure out on your own. Gotta pay the guilde.
Who’s hating on you Brett?
I’m hating on everybody. But that’s part of the background hate, so he shouldn’t notice.
Who’s not?
Nobody anymore.
Sports are gaywad bullshit. That’s what.
Don’t make me comic you, bro. Don’t make me comic you!
Nooooooo
The word “gaywad” literally just made my day.
Indeed. I had not seen or heard that term in….decades!

See, that was their biggest mistake. They blew their wad way too soon.
Canadian Mist whiskey… I’m no expert but that doesn’t sound like a quality drink.
Florida, it’s like one big boat launch full of first time boaters. That are completely hammered.
It’s a half step up from heaven hill.
For the classier glibs out there, it’s on the bottom shelf at Wal Mart next to Caliber vodka and rum, and about the same price.
More like White Heat!
And Canadian Mist is not a half step up from anything, except whiskey that has been filtered through my kidneys.
I’m gonna assume you have never tried heaven hill. Its awful. It will do the trick in a pinch, but damn it’s bad.
The Heaven Hill bottled-in-bond six-year-old is fantastic, and cheap. At least it was recently until all of the hipsters discovered it. Only available in Kentucky, I think. Also, Heaven Hill the distillery is responsible for some seriously good whiskey that gets private labeled under some very reputable brands. Just sayin’.
I believe you, but I have never seen the high end heaven hill stuff. Everything I have ever seen or drank in 6 dollar a fifth rotgut.
Speaking of rotgut, R&R is another rotgut whiskey brand that is sold cheaply around here. My little brother bought a bottle R&R special reserve to my house a few years ago. It was surprisingly good.
Have we reached peak florida man, or was this simply a vice city reenactment?
Florida Man is always intense.
But he is nowhere near his peak.
Just picked up a half pint of it yesterday. Its awful just lije every other liquor. Oddly enough i think its made in Chicago
Jeppson’s Malört, primarily only consumed in Chicago and previously made there, is made in Florida.
Half-pint, eh? Fit well inside your jacket pocket?
Impulse buy. Dont genearlly drink. Im more of a herbalist
That was the most Florida Man thing ever. I feel l was there – swamp ass, mosquitoes, drunk rednecks, and sand in my crotch.
As a Canuck, I . . . I’ve never heard of it.
Cultural appropriation!
“Canadian Mist whiskey… I’m no expert but that doesn’t sound like a quality drink.”
It’s not. Before I switched to cheap vodka, I used to drink cheap scotch. That’s one.
“Florida, it’s like one big boat launch full of first time boaters. That are completely hammered.”
Yep. (Passes out)

Your desire to fuck everything mixed with the biohazard symbol is making me think you need to be classified as a public health issue.

She is a very very appealing shade of brown. definite would.
I’m sure others have heard it but it was new to me and cracked me up so I’ll share. Once upon a time one of my friends ordered a coffee and proceeded to dump a shitload of cream into it. He was soundly mocked and he dropped this gem: “I like my coffee like I like my women. Weak.”
The metaphor breaks down when you spill coffee in your lap.
Or as my wife used to say to the baristas at her office tower’s “Second Cup” coffee franchise, “I like my coffee like I like my men: hot, strong and dark.”
Yeah, I got your espresso roast right here, baby! 8^>

He definitely fucked up. He should have said “I like my coffee the way I like my women; full of cream.”
Yes, but who’s cream?
A mediocre 1960’s band featuring Eric Clapton that enjoys accolades far out of proportion to their actual merits. Also they fucked a LOT of women. Probably.
Clapton did happen to be the third most talented member of that band.
Smoking hot. Keep your Instagram ‘models’, I’ll take the over 50 trifecta of Halle, Salma Hayek and Liz Hurley.
I would poke anyone on this site for a chance at Hayek. Hawt!!!
Gross. F.A. Hayek wasn’t even hot when he was still alive.
Dead guys need lovin too….
Dead women too!
I wonder if they dug with and excavator or shovels. Seems like too much work with shovels anyway.
Must have been shovels. If they had a back hoe, they would have dug up a few more women and all had their own “date”.
Liz was a Brexit girl, too, so she has that going for her.
I’m not sure what’s in that glass, but it ain’t whiskey, unless it’s mixed with something else.
I dunno… they show Tatum pouring a mystery liquid from a whiskey bottle into the glass…
At least the linked website showed me where I can buy that sweet romper she’s wearing.*
*I’d rather know what kind of whiskey it was.
Canadian Mist?
It is what all the cool people are drinking now.
Huuuuuuurl.
The lowest priced whiskey I keep on hand is Pendleton. I don’t really care for their “Let ‘er Buck” logo, but it’s a fine blended Canadian whiskey. Miles above that crown bologna.
I have serious doubts that it was really whisky rather than a prop of some kind. Because I don’t think anyone could slam that much straight whiskey (a) at all, the way she does and (b) keep it down.
… Not to mention walk away in high heels afterward…
You need to try harder.
Or not, just know it can be done.
20 years ago my favorite trick was downing a fifth of whiskey in under 10 seconds. But I’m a biggun…
Her baby is now retarded!
Man, Brave Little Toaster was some real shit.
The author stopped writing and committed suicide when his gay lover of thirty years died.
Kind of like Charles Boyer, except that in Boyer’s case it was his wife.
I’ve never seen it.
There’s a lot of weird subtext about existential crises, depression, hopelessness and death.
You know, for kids.
C’mon. Who hasn’t seen a “kid’s movie” that gave them nightmares?
Looking at you, NeverEnding Story, Sesame Street (in general), and IT.
I watched Jurassic Park when I was 6 or 7 and had T-Rex eating me nightmares for years afterwards.
Dark Crystal is a thing because Jim Henson thought that children not being scared was unhealthy.
Henson is basically God of the Shitlords.
I liked the Dark Crystal. I think its time we think about bringing Skeksis back.
Dude, I STILL love the Dark Crystal.
I sat Mr. Riven down and forced him to watch it with me one night. … He was not impressed xD
Well clearly you needed to get him high first.
Mr. Riven’s substance of choice, if any substance at all, is alcohol. 😉 But we had been drinking!
Nancy Pelosi is still around.

I’ll take ‘Secret of Nimh’ for the block.
You’re kidding! Was it the owl? It was totally the owl…
My dog’s full name is Mrs. Jonathan Brizby. Briz for short.
Lets see… the owl, the tractor, the cat, the fucking gruesome rat murder at the end. Take your pick.
The cat didn’t really scare me that much… Sort of reminded me of the cranky-ass cat we had when I was a kid. Business as usual xD
Yeah, I guess it’s a little unsettling at times…
Fuckin’ A
Early Don Bluth with no studio inference in general tends to be really fucked up. The original ending for the Land Before Time was that everyone dies and the Great Valley is actually Dinosaur Heaven.
You know, for kids.
That would have been fucking epic. I would have bought a camcorder and filmed all the crying children coming out.
Watership Down, the Movie
I saw the trailer, that was enough. Probably couldn’t sit through that even as an adult.

I need to scroll down more.
I had a strong fear of Darth Vader for about a month after reading the ESB novelization at age nine.
Yeah, read a lot of novelizations before watching things over the years. Batman (first one), Gremlins 2, Black Hole, etc have some really disturbing imagery and descriptions that don’t quite live up on film.
What was so scary about NeverEnding Story? That was another one of my favourites.
I still loved it, but I’d had a bad experience with a neighbor’s dog… and the Gmork was terrifying. I would basically just leave the room whenever he came on the screen.
Anyone watch The Peanut Butter Solution as a kid? Thirty years later, I still think it’s one of the weirdest fucking things I’ve ever seen. Go ahead and read that plot outline and tell me this thing wasn’t a sick joke to play on kids.

o
If you haven’t, you should read the Neverending Story novel. It is a great pro-humanist, anti-nihilist message that I really enjoyed. The movie cuts our half way through and leaves out the best parts.
I loved ‘Brave Little Toaster’ when I was little. I’m surprised I didn’t wear out the VHS tape.
That might explain a lot, actually….
It’s funny, I watched the Brave Little Toaster a lot as a kid, and I didn’t even remember all the apparently childhood scarring scenes (I didn’t remember the clown at all for example). Then a couple years ago someone I knew was talking about how fucked up it is and I rewatched it. Either I didn’t get it or just blocked it out. Or maybe it permanently damaged me, who knows?
There are a lot of things that I liked as a kid that I now find off-putting. Like Bill Nye.
Old Bill Nye stuff is fine because he had people controlling him, New Bill Nye is effectively a cult leader. Changes the tone and quality of his material dramatically.
Yes, but if I watch old Bill Nye I can’t help but consider he is the same Bill Nye, he was just taking lithium. It made him safe to be around children.
Not sure how old you are but probably old enough to remember the original Ren & Stimpy. That show redefined ‘fucked up’.
Rocko’s modern life (did that just get a reboot?) was also pretty fucked up. looking back anyway.
Invader Zim also seems darker than I remember.
YES! Didn’t they put that on after Rugrats?
I recall watching Ren & Stimpy before going to Sunday School for Jesusy arts and crafts…
Rocko’s Modern Life was excellent, as was Invader Zim (though that was more early teen years for me).
And they did just announce a reboot for RML.
I remember it, and there’s a reason I wasn’t allowed to watch it. Not that I minded so much… I was a tomboy, but the level of gross-out humour in Ren & Stimpy was a bit much for me.
I never got it because I was on aerial in northern Ontario back then. So three (four on a good day) channels.
And they did just announce a reboot for RML.
You better not be bullshitting. Also, they better not ruin it. Now excuse me, time to get a room at the No-Tell Motel.
Yes, the first season. I think that was the only season done by the creator. After that, it was purely a Nickelodeon production and much less bizarre.
C’mon, Pomp. Would I bullshit you?
Yes, yes I would… but not this time!
I so happy!
IZ was the first show I downloaded in full off limewire since I could never catch it during the incredibly erratic airing schedule (around the 3rd season).
Great stuff. The new comics aren’t too bad, but they only have limited Jhonen input.
I have no idea who got high and thought it would be a good idea to hire the brain behind “Johnny the Homicidal Maniac”/JTHM for a kids cartoon – but bless ’em.
You’re just going to lob that soft ball out there, eh?

There is a joke in Scandinavia about Denmark being the most unintentionally racist country on earth. I think they may be onto something.
As opposed to the Swedish, who are just straight up racist but have a state police desperately processing people for thought crime to cover it up.

NY Times reporter accuses white women of racism on city sidewalks
See if white men WERE actually running the world in an Illuminati-like cabal intersectionality would be something they invented to
Don’t leave us hanging!!
It’s New York, nobody cedes shit.
Remember kids, if you try to avoid a black guy on the sidewalk, you’re a racist.
If you don’t cede space to a black guy on the sidewalk, you’re also a racist.
The only part that matters is ‘white’.
And here I thought the only thing that mattered was “women”.
I am shocked that the NYT would publish anything demanding that women defer to men in public, regardless of the races involved. But, intersectionality, what a tangled web it weaves.
Gosh if only there was a religion that would give the reporter what he wants.
There is. It’s called
that series of ‘stories’ (posted last night here in full because Derp thought the NYT didn’t deserve any clicks) was one of the stupidest fucking things i’ve ever read, even in the Times.

Damn Canadians.
Someone decided to pay Columbia to continue Star Trek.
Pathological Canadian nationalism’s attempt to steal other people’s achievements and claim it as their own (MUH WHITE HOUSE BURNING). Standard fare, nothing to see here.
Also, one of those stamps has Archer on it, which proves what a joke it all is.
Wait, canadians didn’t actually burn the white house down?
Nope, British regulars.
Washington was burned by units enlisted out of northern England, southern Scotland, and some degenerate Irishmen under Robert Ross. They hadn’t even set foot in Canada before they attacked the capital through a naval invasion at Maryland via Bermuda. Canadian militia assisted with the overall campaign but were not present at Washington proper. After the war a bunch of the soldiers retired to Canada, which is the ‘out’ they always use to claim we did it, but by that logic we also conquered large parts of India.
Good to know. Canadians always use that “we burned doon yer white hoose, eh” line so Im glad I have a rebuke for them now.
We did, however, royally kick your butts at the glorious Battle of Queenston Heights.
Well that’s cause our militia refused to invade another country
Yes. The illiterate nationalists do.
As Titor pointed out, it’s painful to watch us ‘cultural appropriate’ for nationalist reasons. The Star Trek thing is really crossing a line.

So not only is he moving here for more gravy, but he’s going to get involved to get another scoop of gravy too.

They (City, County, State–who knows, maybe the Feds have kicked in a little) to turn a perfectly good grassy lot in Fridley into a friggin’ hive for Section 8 scum. They can’t get us to Columbia-Heights-ify fast enough. Man, I hate central planners. Fridley was starting to gentrify a bit with Nordeast Mpls turning old industrial areas into breweries and restaurants, young families moving in where original owners retired or passed on– it was great.
Then the benevelent Gov’t stepped in and decided we should be a center for African and Arab immigrants and built public housing to accommodate. What could possibly go wrong? Even my neighbors on my nice single family housing dead end street by Rice Creek have license plates “1 UMMAH” and “1UMMAH2”. Totes living the American dream, man.
Can’t let Brooklyn Park or Brooklyn Center get all the good new citizens.
The local section 8 housing near my house just got a complete rebuild. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for it to go to shit again. I have already seen one unit with the screens torn out.
I feel your pain – Ames, IA actually RECRUITED and transported similar.
NRO actually had an article about that today or yesterday – white folks on Section 8 lists locally are getting delayed while they go and import folks from Chicago due to Obama-era Affirmative Assisted Housing Relief. I think it’s on Carson’s to-do list.
Plenty of issues up north here, but the cold and lack of jobs does keep many people away. Though the push for broadband and turning Ely into a virtual hub may change some of that. Most people really don’t understand how long and cold the winter is up here, even compared to the Cities.

I was in wisconsin last week. Hottest day was about 73. I dont kbow why i even came back home. Screw this 100 degree crap
Golf is my Sunday afternoon nap show. There is something incredibly relaxing about the sound of drivers.
A lot of nascar fans would say the same thing.
Yes. Exact same thing applies.

it seems like I remember hearing about someone being charged with depraved indifference. I don’t know if that would apply here, and I don’t really think the kids did anything that SHOUTCAST be illegal, but damn. That’s really morally reprehensible.
Today, in strange and funny autocorrects….
Yeah, I have no idea how that happened. Shoutcast is not a word I have ever heard or used.
*shrug*
It was an internet radio plugin in Winamp like 15 years ago.
I might steal it and take a bullhorn to Mill Avenue tonight.
“Greetings fuckstains! Welcome to my SHOUTCAST!
Winamp.
Way to bring me back to my teenage years. I haven’t heard that word in years.

It’s OK, we all know you really !want covfefe.
Licensed professionals (e.g., doctors) can be compelled to assist people in need. But the law cannot compel someone on the street to provide assistance to someone in dire need particularly when offering assistance can be dangerous.
You won’t hear me argue that anyone should be legally obligated to help someone else. The kids are just morally bankrupt shits and they deserve a lot of scorn. Ostracism from all society would be appropriate.
Yeah, I suspect they’re going to find out what it’s like to be known throughout their community as the dirtbags that let a guy die. Over/under on how long it takes before they (or their parents) move outta town?
Didn’t Phil Collins write a song about that?
dammit I almost drowned in my coffee because of that.
Is that what Sussuidio is about?
Yes. wait, no……i don’t know

Why Switzerland never takes sides
You don’t say…
I thought everyone knew that.
Did they think The Swiss guards in the Vatican donated their time?
When I lived there, you could still see the WW2 tank traps between buildings in some of the towns near the German border.
Me: Why are they still there.
Swiss: Ummmmm……for …..ummmmmm….. historical reasons.
Note: I was there in 1991 and german reunification didn’t make the older swiss happy.
It also allows them to sell weapons to everyone.

“The event, “Heavy Breathing: Martial Arts for Feminist Journos,” attempts to encourage women to get rid of masculinity in journalism by teaching “empowered passivity.”
“In this experimental workshop attendees will collectively undermine the historic valorization of hyper-masculinized approaches to journalism by learning to value approaches of empowered passivity through practicing the feminist concept of ‘circlusion’ (the antonym of ‘penetration’) and the martial arts concept of ‘ukemi,’ the art of receiving a throw,” the event description reads.
http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/21/feminist-launches-class-on-how-to-combat-hyper-masculinized-journalism/
What the fuck am I reading?
If it comes out that all this SJW digital press was actually written by some advanced mad libs generator I won’t be the least bit surprised.
“empowered passivity.”
Speed has *everything* to do with it
So men should be men, and women should be women. Right on sister.
Have you guys covered Jen Rubin’s latest fever dreams?
It is funny because she is SURE that the Dems will win tons of seats in the next election. Like a lot of the rest of you, I wasn’t a Trumpster to begin with, but the guy is growing on me.
She should have to change her name
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2I4tVqXg7dQ/maxresdefault.jpg
Boy, she really took the fall of Marco Rubio hard.
Fucking fantasy!
I bet she was ‘flickin the bud’ while she wrote that.
I just mock them in the office now. Gently, but still mocking. Two were nattering on and on, and one turns to me and goes “So, did you see the latest??!?!?!” and I said “No, what is it.” He proceeds to regale me with the latest media fever dream about how Trumps is even now being frog marched from the White House in handcuffs. So I listened to him rant a bit, then said “Wasn’t this supposed to happen last week?”
“Professors group wants taxpayer-funded climate change research blocked from public scrutiny

Of course they do. Then they don’t have to worry about embarrassing things like having to show their ‘data’ is completely made up by the time they get done with it.
Transparency is just a road block for science, the scientific method works much better if we just leave it to a consensus of professional scienticians in a black box environment. Attempting to hold science accountable is literally Hitler.
So, do I take HIPAA, Safety in the Workplace, or continue reading the links and save it for Monday?
You get to exempt out of the first one for knowing enough to call it HIPAA, since 98.7% of people on the internet call it HIPPA.

Your new White House communications director, everyone.
But will he do the fandango?

I don’t… how is that stat even possible? Is he talking about legally owned guns in civilian hands? That’s an awfully narrow category…
Perhaps he means we need to figure out how to get the other 50% of the worlds guns. Then we’d have all the guns.
This is how I’m choosing to interpret that statement.
Apparently this guy was an Obama fundraiser until he realized that the Left didn’t like Wall Street very much. Not surprised that he’s skeptical about guns, unfortunately.
He’s absolutely right. Guns should be properly distributed to every population in perfect alignment with their share of the world’s population. China should have 14.3% of all the worlds guns.
Oh fuck. Bring back Spicer dammit.
Come and get them Anthony, you friggin’ pussy.

Today, I drove my brother to hang with some friends of his at a local swimming hole.
My dad’s WRX (super duper fun) had this on the radio. I think he was listening to a sox game.
The guy was hilarious. every strawman about horrible corporations. How awful it was that the state legislature was trying to mess with the NOBLEST PEOPLE EVER IN THE BUREAUCRACIES! “we need more regulations!” he ranted, then a minute later was yelling about how the state salts the roads here.
yea, fucking moron, the state regulations that you love so much make us salt the roads.
fucktard.
Today’s episode isn’t up yet. I don’t recommend anyone listen. Maybe Derp can handle it. I wanted to call in and just yell ‘regulatory capture’ over and over till he looked it up.
‘Regulatory capture’ won’t cut it.
Proggies are now full of praise for Nancy MacLean’s Democracy in Chains, which takes down James Buchanan and his evil public choice theory as a nefarious plot to destroy American democracy and install an evil corporate oligarchy.
‘Regulatory capture’ is just one of the codewords of the Konniving Koch Konspiracy. You’d just be called out for being one of the Koch’s klansmen.
How you drove a wrx without playing this at maximum volume makes me question the veracity of your story.

Probably Danes who remember how inexplicably popular that guy was in the 70’s and 80’s.
All the thumbs ups are from people who had exactly that wigwam as a child. The local toy monopoly (BR) only sold that model, and for some reason it was a hugely popular toy.
I remember a few months back NPR had on the producers of FX’s The Americans to talk about the show but also give insight into the current Russia scandal because they understood the minds and methods of Russian spies. And it’s only got more ridiculous since then.
Ace over at ace.mu.nu has repeatedly marked that the Internet left’s biggest touchstone and source of analogy is not Schlesinger or Zinn or even Marx, but premium cable shows. They seem to genuinely believe that TV has things to teach us.
I checked the last few days worth of links and didn’t see anything. Apparently the EU is cross with Poland over forced retirement of judges and only appointing new judges picked by parliament/minister of justice? Heard some conspiracy rumors that it had to do with purging the last remnants of the old commie regime. Anyone familiar with it?
http://www.politico.eu/article/warsaw-judiciary-frans-timmermans-european-commission-very-close-to-triggering-article-7-on-poland/
Haven’t seen nothing here. German’s all fussed over Turkey these days. Poland is under the radar.
Heard some conspiracy rumors that it had to do with purging the last remnants of the old commie regime.
Without reading, if it involves getting rid of commies, I’m for it.
And the EU is against it. Can’t image the EU will be around much longer. If the Germans had a big army, I could see them bullying other countries into staying.
Why not just integrate them, with slight encouragement, into Germany itself? A Fourth Reich if you will.
It sounds to me like Brussels is passed because Law and Justice is apparently a wrong-thinking party.
Belgium for ages refused to appoint any Vlaams Bloc/Vlaams Belang judges, and that was totes OK.
Oh, and they seem to have a mandatory retirement age for judges, too.

Be honest = How many of you actually know where Burundi is without looking on a map?
Second topic = these shithole countries produce wonderful ‘robotics’ students, but can’t seem to actually manufacture so much as a can opener. Maybe these bullshit contests and prizes are focusing on the wrong thing.
It’s next to Rwanda isn’t it?

#humblebrag
I’ve read a couple books about rwanda, but at least I’m honest enough to admit if you asked me to point to it on a map, i’d go, “Somewhere in the middle there. go to the congo and take a right. Follow the bodies”
It’s in a valley or some shit near Lake Victoria (that lake being basically the only easy to identify landmark in Central Africa on maps).
I know where it is because of two things:
1. I sponsored a child in Tanzania for several years.
2. I wrote for a faux news blog (like the Onion) for awhile and did this story.
Is “somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa” good enough? That’s the best I can do.
I do.

Be honest = How many of you actually know where Burundi is without looking on a map?
I got the continent right, but I was pretty far off on the exact location. I thought it was up around the horn.
Maybe they can produce good individual students, but the infastructure for implementing their ideas isn’t there. The environment for great students to succeed isn’t there.
I’m really good at industrial automation. If I was born in a 3rd world shithole try skill set would be worth nothing .
U.S. law enforcement authorities on Friday were seeking six teenagers from Burundi who went missing after a robotics competition in Washington
If it’s anything like what ‘teenage robotics competitions’ looked like a decade or two ago, what they actually mean is “rich enough to afford to a couple LEGO Robotics kits and the potato to run the ‘programming’ software on.”
You’re probably right. Legos are pretty cool though.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sUtS52lqL5w
Nope. My kid is on a First Robotics team at school. The kids build some pretty amazing things.
Are the outlines of the countries there at least? I know it’s on the east side of Africa near the middle, but it’s tiny.
no, unlike Rich Countries, poor African nations can’t even afford bold, solid lines between their countries. Poor people keep stealing them.
No no no nononono, the truth is that they need to primarily rely on primitive savage landmarks, such as rivers. Savages.
If a map of Africa in comparison to the local cultures and traditional tribal/political affiliations have shown me anything, it’s that the White Man’s Lines didn’t work out so good.
What I’ve always wondered about Africa is why, if there are so many competing affiliations arbitrarily combined into single nations, that they haven’t had more country splits. South Sudan split from Sudan recently, and there’s plenty of precedence for country splits globally (Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Soviet Union, India/Pakistan/Bangladesh), so I wonder why so many of the African nations stuck to their colonial borders. Dictators unwilling to relinquish power? Groups deciding it was better to compete for the whole than to settle for a part? Outside pressure dissuading secession/union?
Probably a lot of it has to do with, outside of major urban centers, people being more concerned with getting by than some kind of independence. If you’ve got more immediate concerns and the central government isn’t harassing you too much it becomes a secondary problem. If they start oppressing you a lot more or you start to get more influence and power within the state overall, well that’s when secession starts to become appealing.
There is still obviously a degree of infighting already, but most of those groups seem more interested in just taking over the government and inflicting their brand of idiocy on everyone else.
This one. Almost every country is run by a kleptocrat goon.
I only know because I drink a lot of African coffee.

Yep, still in Central Africa. Been a flag/map/geography dork since I was 10.
Raises hand, As the designated geography guy on my pub trivia team , I took this quiz every day til I could ace it.
I studied maps for fun when I was little.

As someone with a moderate interest in geography, I was interested to see what it was.
Second try
I got 548.
Thanks. 131/196 on strict test. Africa and the various tiny nations of the world tripped me up.

Civil War-era letter from Abraham Lincoln to a mother whose five sons were killed was actually written by his SECRETARY, researchers say
An 1864 letter to mourning mother was thought to have been written by Lincoln
But, some have suggested it may have been written by his secretary John Hay
Using the N-gram technique, researchers now say it was ‘almost certainly’ Hay
Isn’t the purpose of having a secretary so that you don’t have to write stuff yourself?
Shhh…we’re talking about a personalized Presidential letter to a grieving mother…we can’t let on that they delegate that stuff to other people.
Too soon.
Indeed, I don’t see the big deal. Though, I am pleased that people will know forensic linguistics exists before it returns to obscurity tomorrow.

Just autoclave your partner before sex. Bonus: the char adds some intense friction.

I just go quarterly. It’s a lot less stressful to go because it’s part of your regular routine than because you got a nasty variant of the flu and decided in a fever dream that you’re seroconverting even though you’ve had a long dry spell and got tested recently.
Last year I got a really really bad cold complete with fever blisters on my forehead exactly 3 weeks after some strange and thought for sure I had finally done myself in. That was a bad couple of weeks.
The good news is that cold completely knocked out my appetite for 2 whole weeks. I lost 35 pounds. It’s amazing how much more free time you have when you don’t eat or poop.
I was up in Seattle for a work conference and spent the entire weekend barely able to swallow, sweating through the sheets every 20 minutes and near delirium with fever and just spent the whole time going “shit I’m gonna die…wait, I haven’t had sex in months that timeline doesn’t work, no fuck it, I’m totally gonna die”
“barely able to swallow”
Must’ve been hell… especially on vacation.

THe work event was nice, but, as expected, I wound up with a massive headache from the heat and wine. And I even drank two bottles of water. Holy shit, my head is killing me!
Also, the Secret Service showed up in massive numbers at one point. THey said it was a “training exercise”. Mmm hmm. Sure. We didn’t recognize the couple that they were protecting, though, so maybe they were telling the truth.
Russian agents working on behalf of Trump’s treasonous “administration”. Like, DUH.
Time for that Arctic hotel room, I’m thinking.
Good god woman. Don’t you know the only way to avoid a headache after drinking wine in the heat is to not stop drinking until you pass out. Fucking armatures.
Hey, that’s no way to talk to a fellow commutator here!
I hope it was real wine, and not white zin.

Berkeley radio station disinvites Richard Dawkins for not being SJW-ish enough
You read a lot of militant atheist stuff. I am a militant atheist and had never seen that site before you started posting it.

I particularly like seeing Dawkins devoured by his own.
I don’t think it’s fair to call progressives Dawkins ‘own’. He seems cut of a considerably better cloth.
Piers Morgan vs. Janusz Korwin-Mikke
Why does it not ever enter the minds of these social engineers to invest in up and coming businesses in these countries to maybe actually help build an economy so people do not want to leave? And no I am not talking government programs, but actual businesses. I think they would be surprised at the results if they went to the people and not the government.
I think I read an article at the Other Place making this argument. IIRC it’s very difficult to get the money to the people without some government thug wetting their beak (i.e. taking all of it).
Yes, that is my experience in those countries, and it was not my money. I was just another dude looking to take their resources, but I think there are ways. It is just nobody wants to go there. Too much work. It is easier to send pallets of condoms.
I apologize in advance if my article this week is a little less fun than normal. Talking about gun prices isn’t exactly ‘murder on the orient express’ levels of entertainment.

If they’re the CMP ones I have read a little into CMP and to me it sounds easier to get a kidney then it does to get a gun through the CMP.
Hah…….Ok then.
Really? Last time I checked, just need to member of some sort of organized shooting activity (GSSF membership works).
Wish I had grabbed one of the target .22LR’s when those were still available…
Here’s what it takes to get a gun through the CMP:
http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle_sales/eligibility-requirements/
You have to provide your birth cert, some proof of shooting proficiency, be a member of the CMP, and complete a nics background check.
My understanding is that a carry permit and a membership in the Garand Collectors Associaton ($25/year, easily done online) is enough to fulfill the requirements.
Not super easy, but not that bad.
Ok, so same as before
