GERMAN BRUTALS NEED THE GIFT OF THE GUN….CHAIRS DO NOT DO THE JOB.
I think I see an opportunity for you, Zardoz.
Morons. Morons ruin everything.
Morons is right.
On the other hand, there will be some idiot out there that thinks the idea is cool and buy that whiskey.
On the gripping hand, time for another drink.
I did find a whiskey in Ireland that had the best name ever, Writers Tears. I had to try a measure there, and bring a bottle home just for the name. Thankfully, it’s a solid whiskey as well.
That looks good.
It’s quite good, but I’ve been working through a Belgian Dark Strong I have on tap right now (to make room for a Belgian Blonde), so I’m sticking with the more basic stuff tonight.
I’m drinking Penchant for Buggery from Beer Research Institute. They also released Taxation is Theft earlier this year, which I certainly wouldn’t mind having again given as to how I have to deal with quarterly rather than yearly income tax nonsense.
“Taxation is Theft” looks like a good beer.
The local homebrew supply shop has a “Tax Avoidance” recipe that they hype during tax season. I made it. I don’t remember the style, but it was pretty good.
Some like it red, some like it black. I brought a bottle of the red back as a gag for a friend, didn’t try. Supposed to be absolute rotgut.
On the other hand, there will be some idiot out there that thinks the idea is cool and buy that whiskey.
Yep. If it works for that, power to them. I am sure they will do tastings and some will walk out after a purchase.
Bring us some fresh whiskey. Whiskey from music of this year! Some Kanye at least. None of this Kid Rock stuff.
Now, in fairness, I do have at least half a bottle of Hatter Royale sitting in the basement, but I am a hop-head. And it looks like New Holland stopped making it anyway.
Kind of a lame way to acheive what they are trying to do. Alternating between some sort of internal agitator to increase the amount of liquid that come in contact with the barrel walls and a slight vibration to get the wood penetration they are looking for maybe?
wood penetration
Not the first people to use alcohol to penetrate woulds
I hope that’s not just consenting but enthusiastic would.
“Internal agitator.” Hehehehhe.
Hey, baby. You ever had an ‘agent provocateur’?
There’s a local company (to me at least) trying something like that: Cleveland Whiskey (trigger warning: NPR). It doesn’t work. I’ve heard from others that some of the batches are good, which could just be a homer bias, but the bottle I bought, and the pours I’ve sampled have all been harsh young tasting whiskeys.
Shouldn’t the trigger warning be before Cleveland?
*snort laugh*
Only if you’re planning on buying the whiskey. We’ve got lots of good beer, mead, (from what I’ve heard) ciders, and even rum. how do you think we deal with living in Cleveland?
I just finished a bottle of Bulwark Original Cider. It was really good.
How big of a bottle? I have never tried a cider. Surprisingly, there are no alcho cider producers around these parts that I know of. They grow a bunch of apples here.
Half liter.
Where are you at that you can’t get cider? Angry Orchard is part of Boston Beer, so it’s spread across the US. Heineken owns Strongbow, which I’ve seen across the US. Then there’s always Magner’s/Bullmer’s which has fairly wide distribution as well.
In the greater Cleveland area, we’ve got at least two cideries, and three meaderies.
Oh that is here, I was talking local cider makers.
I have only been to one meaderie. (Canada) And it was way to sweet for me in spite of my appreciation for anything being turned into alcohol.
I’m a fan of the dry or semi-dry ones, which one of the local meaderies makes exclusively. I’ve also got several different types of home made mead sitting in my basement (most were made in 1 gallon test batches). Mead is just starting to take off again, but for the most part, I feel it’s too expensive for grabbing a bottle to try (most are at the $20-25 range for a 350 mL bottle).
Westernsloper, If you don’t like sweet meads, take a look at the dry ones. I’ve had some good ones and I could pick up only a little sweetness. I think mead is a little cheaper up here in New England than what Nephilium quotes. I don’t remember paying that much for a half-bottle.
I am with Nephilium. Seems expensive. That has been my experience. $20 for 350ml. That was western Canadia though. Again, we have none of those around here We are hillbillys. Maybe I need to start one. Mead with THC. Bee juice with a Buzzzzz.
The hemp might dull the sweetness a bit. I had hemp beer and it tasty very nutty.
westernsloper: If you’re in the USA, feel free to hit me up at my handle at GMail. I’d be willing to send you a couple of bottles of live yeast samples for you to try and give an honest opinion on.
On the THC side, no brewery has wanted to go that route due to federal licensing, but there have been some homebrewers who have (to mixed results). There’s at least one beer that I know of that is brewed with hemp.
I’m not really a mead person but I’ve liked pretty much everything from Superstition Springs Meadery out here–on the drier rather than the sweeter side in general.
Charm City Meadworks has a dry mead (Original Dry) that is pretty much like a honey Chardonnay. If you didn’t know it was mead, you might mistake it for a regular white wine.
The Sweet Blossom is a bit sweeter (like Tej). It’s just right for my tastes when I want mead.
All the other mead brands I’ve had are just too damn sweet.
A decent cider can be a lot better than most people would think.
The trick for me is to find one that isn’t too sweet, which can be pretty difficult. A lot of cider is made for people who don’t like beer, so it winds up being really sweet.
I’m not a cider fan, while the girlfriend is. She likes them the sweeter the better (which brings up questions as to why she’s with a bitter bastard like me). However, we both learned at a tasting that there’s a class of ciders that’s different, which was Spanish ciders. They go for barrel aging, and some spontaneous fermentation, which means they make sour ciders. I enjoyed the ones I had, while the girlfriend hated them.
Cider from Spain? Hmm….
I’ve had cider from Normandy which was quite good. Cider from the Czech Republic was a bit on the sweet side but not bad.
The worst cider I ever had was from a place in New Hampshire. I took one taste and dumped it.
Was it Poverty Lane near Concord? The State monopoly stores pimp their overpriced bottles and they suck.
I can’t remember the name unfortunately. I received it at a company Christmas gift swap. I figured it can’t that bad right? Heh.
You yogurts get over to North Country Cider’s tasting Room one of these days. Delicious and something for everyone.
Yogurts -> ought to
When you drink the ciders in/from Normandy, you make me sad. You’re depleting the supplies of apple must that would go on to make calvados. Which makes me sad again.
Yeah, same with mine. Lady likes sweet drinks, which also raises the question as to why she’s putting up with me.
My favorite dry cider is Virtue, from Michigan. Not sure how big their distribution footprint is, though they get down to Florida. It’s as good as anything I’ve had from the Basque parts of Spain, or Brittany / Normandy.
Argus Cidery in Austin makes some magnificent ciders — bone dry, mineral. Their cameo reminded me quite a lot of Piper Heidseck. They also make sweet ones and novelty ones, so you do have to be a bit careful
BRUTAL DICTATOR KEEPS SHOOTING MISSILES INTO WATER – ZARDOZ THINKS HE HAS FORGOTTEN HOW TO SHOOT BRUTALS ON LAND.
He will get there. Don’t you worry about that. The actions of Bill Clinton, and then Barack Obama and Iran will see to that.
Does anyone know of a woodchipper rental service around London? I have some… trees… that need to be mulched.
Fuck…
No worries. We need wood chippers everywhere. I blame global warming and rampant undergrowth,
“…who feel entitled to express opinions.”
A judge who declares that people have no right to speak in a country that still swears up and down that they have freedom of speech. Nice mask slippage.
I feel entitled to kick that guy in the nuts.
“Everyone feels entitled to judge the actions of Hitler when they know almost nothing about his actions other than the whole gasing jews yet feel entitled to express their opinions. For instance, not many people know about his efforts to combat viruses and disease”
Jesus Christ. What profound evil.
I wanted to live in Edinburgh after spending a semester there. It’s a gorgeous city, friendly people, great architecture, great beer and whisky, decent business…
But at this point, I don’t want to be anywhere near the NHS and the people supporting it, and I don’t want to be subject to its tender mercies.
And if it happens the people who bungled things so badly and thereby enabled him will accept no responsibility whatsoever.
“THIS SLAYING OF A BRUTAL DID MAKE ZARDOZ THINK HE COULD TEACH HIS ENFORCERS A NEW TRICK OR TWO.”
I guess she died due to excessive laughter. What a POS husband
Woman finally defends herself after years of psychological abuse. I like the switcheroo game.
Isn’t the point of murder on a cruise ship to, you know, dump the body overboard?
Hell there on an Alaskan cruise. They probably go into porr for some land adventures. Take her in a hike and leave her for the bears. Or wait until you get home and plan the shit out. How do you make it to 38 being that stupid with such a profound lack of impulse control.
Video from the last Glibertarians meet-up.
Too religious.
I’ve been saving this for you Heroic Mulatto.
Perfect.
No.
Where’s all the guns?
And snakes? I’m calling fake news.
Hmm, now I have “why I converted to Islam” in my Youtube sidebar after viewing this. Coincidence?!?
Why did you convert to Islam, dont leave us hangin
Free AK
The chicks, obviously.
I made it 99 seconds. What is she 15?
Hrhghg. I don’t want to actually watch this. I do notice that she’s done the standard bit that people who say things like “we should have a conversation about…” do and disabled comments and likes/dislikes.
I also note she seems to be a white Kanuckistani girl, living in Japan as a Youtuber, who’s converted to Islam? Was she converted by Trudeau’s “Pride at Eid” socks? Somebody take the bullet here.
So wonder if this is next for all the middle class white teens? First they were all black, then they were all bi, next are they going to be Muslims? Bi Muslim rappers?
When I was a little kid like 2 years ago I used to spin the globe and it would always land on Saudi Arabia so that’s why it’s my favorite country which makes me Muslim. Magic 8 Ball confirmed it. Don’t I look cool in my get up.
Y’all motherfuckers need Muhammad (ﷺ)!
Would!
Maybe it was a pedophile meeting
My invitation seems to have been lost in the mail.
My second beer is an excellent Scotch Ale from Prince Edward Island.
Drinking a Nugget Nectar from Troges. Hoppy as hell but balanced.
Yeah that’s good beer. Got one of their glasses from a rep at a local keg tapping. Fist squeezing a handful of hops.
Only sold once a year but I just killed my last one.
I like Tröegs’ Java Head. I haven’t had Nugget Nectar. Too many American brewers use hops in IPAs that I don’t like.
Nugget Nectar isn’t an IPA (at least according to Troeg’s), but if you don’t like Nugget hops, stay away from it. They use them with a heavy hand.
Really? I thought it was an IPA.
*checks*
Oh. I stand corrected.
No worries, it’s a common mistake. But it is a great beer, as are most of the ones out of Troegs. I can’t think of one that I didn’t like, and the Mad Elf is a dangerous winter beer, while the Sunshine Pils is a great summer beer.
Mad Elf is excellent.
Troegs makes probably the best American dopplebock I’ve had.
I’m not an IPA guy at all. Nugget Nectar is pretty well balanced as TL said. You should try it if you get a chance.
I’m not an north west IPA guy in general either, but it is certainly hopped, oily in fact. It’s one of the hoppiest beers that I like. The New England style IPA’s are much more of a citrus smell and taste.
I’m already well into the bourbon…
It makes for a peaceful end to the work week.
I hit 5 bars last night and went to work this morning so I’m taking the night off.
I’m planing on a light night. I have to mix and pour 1600 lbs of concrete tomorrow.
Hope its not too hot there.
Supposed to be 78 and overcast. Last week when I was digging the holes for the footers it was 92 and humid. I’m not built for that shit. Give me cold any day.
I’m with you. 78 not too bad. Hydrate.
Your userpic made me wonder just how many times I’ve heard Headhunter in a club over the course of my life.
I it’s a rare thing to hear Headhunter in a club these days.
I cleaned my daughter’s room, fixed the closet door and drank my wife’s Chu hi. Sad.
So Jap Zima?
9% alcohol. Got the job done, but, indeed, tastes like Pinesol.
Hmmmm. I haven’t had a Zima in probably 30 yrs. I will have to search out this Chu hi.
If you truly hate yourself, Zima is back on American shelves for a brief while.
These euphemisms.
At 1600 lbs, doesn’t it make sense to have a mini truck deliver and mix on site?
I’m lacking access to the area as it is enclosed with 8 ft fence and I don’t have a truck with a hitch. I’m also able to do the the work in piece meal fashion with bags. Thank fully I’ve got a mixer.
Well the mixer will help. Have fun.
But, i think those mini trucks mix up to 6 yards on site. You can wheel barrow it in.
Thanks for the advice Denver.
Or one of concrete boom trucks. Just bring that pipe right over the fence.
Teacher sacked after tryst with school boy on EasyJet flight from Geneva
Without looking, All boys school right?
PSA to all the good looking young female teachers out there who are unbearably horny. Don’t ruin your lives and go to jail, just hit me up.
Would.
Heh, EasyJet.
Post in yesterday’s Afternoon Links.

Best part is the emphasis on unprotected sex.
Also, wouldn’t. Like many of these chicks, some photos look ok but others are downright scary. Plus kid had to drink 5 glasses of wine prior.
Honestly, I want to cut politics out of my life for a while, stop getting punched in the nuts—stop reading Glibs for a while—but all I hear IRL is progs pontificating smugly and echoing / signaling to each other. My coworkers we’re discussing Trump hating Mexicans and wanting to build a wall as a way to appeal to “the rednecks.” My boss uttered the sentence, “I was really proud of John McCain yesterday.” Gee, I wonder where he got that sentiment.
So this website is like a neutralizer, really. But I’m perpetually irritated and I wish I could cut out the source of that irritation, politics in general. Oy vey. This uh sucks.
Who comes here for the politics? I come here for the rape, ammo and beer.
Rape?
I thought this was a rap website!
Fuck those assholes
Lol
There goes HM. Trying to preserve the family friendly rating of this site.
Come here and talk about illicit sex, guns, and booze. Pull up to the glib’s house of sin and clear you head.
Ask your boss what the policy is on safe spaces. Its against your rights for them to trigger you.
In all seriousness, that sucks. Make an off hand point to mention you are trying to get away from politics in order to be a happier person. If they keep screeching then take satisfaction with the fact that they’re jerks
“How can you think of only yourself in Trump’s America?”
I have to take pretty regular decompression breaks from politics or I get cranky. I’m riding the line pretty hard right now and you can only medicate so much to balm the pain.
Especially when it’s praise for Vietnamese ace John McCain. It looks like his prospects are extremely grim with the cancer, but if that fucker is still around in a few years, I swear that I’m digging up the corpse of Barry Goldwater to primary him.
I overheard some positive talk about Trump the other day, among fellow IT staff. The customer service staff is, perhaps predictably, not favorable. But generally I avoid any talk of politics IRL like the plague. I feel your pain though. The morning news I watch while I’m getting ready just riles me up so much, it’s so fucking stupid – and this is the local cable “straight news” channel, not the bubbleheaded idiot coffee talk stuff. I have to come here (and/or “there”) to get the straight dope.
I watch My three sons and leave ot to beaver in the morning. Its the only way to start your day. Seriously.
I flip over to Married… With Children when the news gets too much. I didn’t appreciate how brilliant that show is first time around. But I’ll look for those because they’re great too.
Married with children was great in the early years.
Metv. AntenaTV has got some good ones too including my favorite, All in the Family. Thats about all we watch, saves us a cable bill.
Cozi too. Love those channels.
Yup. Simon to Simon and Columbo are my current favs on COZI
When I wake up and take my dog out, I bring my phone and pull up lamestream news to see what Trump is going to be impeached for today, as opposed to yesterday or the day before. I think Google’s AI is getting confused by my derp-diving so it’s been spamming the Christ out of my phone with Vox article notifications recently. That or it’s being artificially pushed because muh narrative.
Life is politics. Some of us get pissed off about it. Some don’t. Some generalize simply because they are simple minded people. Some invent a light bulb. Some change light bulbs. Some people are assholes, others know who the assholes are.
That’s about it. Just don’t turn into that asshole from Forest Gump that punches his girlfriend and then blames in LBJ.
So I know that Imran Awan got mentioned in a WaPo story that was listed as “local news”–which is obviously why Reason isn’t covering it, I imagine–but it looks like instead of just ignoring it like most places, The Daily Beast goes with “Forget Seth Rich, Sean Hannity Finally Found a Muslim to Blame for the DNC Hack”.
Most protect the DNC!
If you just laugh smugly and scoff and roll your eyes, and you get others to join in your chorus, you win the argument.
Before I was politically aware, I was turned off by leftists (high-school-age peers) behaving with a sense of superiority. To southerners, to Republicans, rednecks, climate change deniers.. To the outgroups, anyone thinking differently.
They get older, graduate high school, and behave in exactly the same way. And this smugness, this narcissism, this lack of personal responsibility or humility and this contempt for abstract-others is everywhere. Maybe I’m a hypocrite for hating on leftists similarly… It’s really just that behavior that I hate.
I know exactly what you mean.
It’s hard to keep up. The left is rotten to the core, everything they do stinks to high heaven.
The WaPo story was such a white wash it was kind of embarrassing. I wish I could get a job doing nothing like a WaPo writer.
As to Hannity. Whatever. Shut the hell up Sean. God he gets on my nerves. The story there is how that group of “part time” employees made off with close to 5 million over the past few years and the wife fled the country. There is stink upon stink to this.
Just got on a flight drom SF to London with the wife and three boys, ages 2, 4, and 6. I have only had 3 beers so far. The drink cart can’t come by fast enough.
I like airports. Only place you can drink at 9AM and nobody gets all judgmental about it.
There are other such places.
Irish pubs on St. Patrick’s Day.
Bars open for breakfast in Germany.
This place is open for breakfast and has good beer. I recommend the Brauhaus Frühstück (Brewery Breakfast).
Not every day is St-Patricks Day, not every place is Germany.
The world is a sadder place for that.
Yet airports abide.
+1 fruhschoppen
“…three boys, ages 2, 4, and 6.”
Your fellow passengers must love you.
Incidentally, I’m at the pub, and somebody had a birthday party. Some genius thought to bring those noise makers that you blow into and are really loud. But that’s nothing compared to the 4 year old crying and whining. Because that’s why I go to the pub after to work: to hear a bunch of drinks blow whistles and kids crying. Jesus fucking Christ on a cracker, what is wrong with people?
We had those at Christmas last year, when the nephew was just over a year old. We all blew them and the poor guy could not catch his breath for crying so hard. And then he got the hiccupy sobs like it was the. Worst. Thing. Ever. And mom (his grandmom) pantomimed blowing one, and he started right back up.
Funniest thing my nephew has done, and this kid is the funniest thing in my life right now.
My nephew did a funny thing one Christmas that we still talk about.
When he was about 4 or 5, his parents taught him to be polite and thankful for the gifts he got. So he was opening gifts from relatives, and somebody gave him a battery-operated toy. The only thing was, the batteries were wrapped separately, and he opened those first.
After opening the package of batteries, he held 9t up and ostentatiously said, “Just what I always wanted!”
Hahahahah!
not really the same, but close
1. Why da fuck it takes 45 minutes for missile to get from Korea to Japan?
2. If wife were murdered in international waters, could they still prosecute guy?
1) they sent the missile 2000 miles high rather than down range. Proving they had the range to hit what they wanted to hit without getting dangerously close to what they wanted to hit. Something like that.
2) Yes, because if the guy was stupid enough to kill his wife in front of witnesses when he’s in the open ocean, he deserves to be in jail.
Also, for killing his wife, but that’s an occasional requirement. Also, for husbands.
Neither of them understood the implication.
Country of registry.
Somehow, the FBI had this one.
Usually on cruises, it’s the Panamanian or Liberian funny police.
The Republicans’ inability to undo the Affordable Care Act — one of Trump’s central campaign promises — was the “final straw for Priebus,” another person close to the administration told NBC.
He resigned privately on Thursday, a source close to Priebus said.
I hope there was whimpering and moist eyes involved. Privately? C’mon Trump, put that shit on PPV.
I went to see Iron Maden last weekend for the first time. I liked the band for years and many of thier songs without any desire to see them.
They put on an amazing show. I did however find that my ears were shot after the first 15 minutes. I think they over drove the vocals way too much. I’m not a baby about loud music, but I could have used some musician ear plugs. After 2 hours of music my ears felt like I was shooting my 357 without plugs.
While waiting for the show I got to see NY’s finest decked out in full anti terrorist gear. They had 8 cops in the crowd near the subway entrance with ARs and body armor.
Made me feel under armed to say the least.
I went to an AC/DC show when I was 12 and I believe that one show I pobably lost 10 percent of my hearing. My ears rang for over a day.
Concerts pretty much damaged my hearing. It didn’t help I have bad ears to begin with.
I can barely tell the difference between letters that sound alike on the phone.
Just tonight my uncle was telling the story of when he was hit by a 10-wheeler last year and I responded, ‘You know someone who hit you called Ed Wheeler?’
He replied, ‘I said 10 wheeler!’
I know what you meant, but suddenly I have an urge to pitch a game called Iron Madden to Electronic Arts.
“, what you want to do, is points than the other team”
For such a stupid man to have such a gaming empire/royalties means he’s smart enough to listen to the right people.
*score more points
Nickel nickel nickel the number of the Dbeast.
Madden with a mullet wig and skull belt buckle. Guitar solos as bumper music prior to the plays. Add in a guitar hero riff after each great play.
Jack Black may have beat you to it.
Story of my life. Beat to the punch by Jack Black.
I saw Maiden some years back. Disappointing. Also, had what’s his ass from Judas priest and his new band opening. Even more the disappoint.
Ah, I remember hearing one decent tune of that. But I’d much rather hear him doing JP.
The fucker had stage 3 tounge cancer a few years ago. I could see hour that could affect Dickinson’s singing.
I just realized your avatar isn’t the Kool Aid guy.
Hey!! kool Aid!!
Hah! Saw them on the Piece of Mind tour. $15 ticket. $10 t-shirt
/old & a dick
Sorry, second line is wrong. I’m still old, and still a dick, I just meant I’d stop displaying it.
My tickets were abit more costly.
I used to get the chicks with those metal tshirts in high school.
Damn straight…
I had to sport the punk or goth shit to get the artsy ladies interested.
I wish it worked in old age.I have a shirt from the DK’s 2003 Mutiny on the Bay tour when I saw them in London. They’d gotten rid of Jello, which I was pretty grateful for, since they only played songs, instead of giving 30 minute speeches about politics I disagreed with. Also, they played their “hits”.
I have a DVD from the same time period of The Damned, which was actually a show I went to. I didn’t buy a shirt, I think mainly because the woman I went with was being a total bitch, and at the time I had no desire to remember it.
Actually, I still don’t
It works for my lady, but we met at a show. I’m a lucky man.
Those dumb punk kids will buy anything.
Also, I still think Dianno was better than Dickenson. I know that’s a judgment thing, but when I listen to Maiden, I always go back to their 1st album or Killers.
And yeah, the t-shirts were always to get chicks. Jesus, if they served no useful purpose, why would you buy them?
Still remember when I went to my friend’s house and he showed us that album he had just purchased.
I think it’s pretty weak compared to their other stuff. Not horrible, just not up to snuff with their previous work.
Except for The Trooper, which rocks.
Horror film: a caretaker watches over a young girl. Throughout the film the girl dies in jumpscare ways, and the caretaker wakes up in the next scene like Groundhog Day. She remembers everything, but the girl does not. Except she does. Or doesn’t, whatever. Gradually the caretaker works out how to manage the jumpscare threats, yadda yadda, box office smash. Where do I collect my check?
If you didn’t have the wrong politics, Kickstarter or Patreon… I guess Hatreon now exists too, hah. Honestly that doesn’t sound like a half-bad pitch to me–I particularly enjoyed Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow and I’d much rather a horror riff on that theme than yet another remake or tentpole comic book movie.
I watched some half assed. sci-fi movie on Netflix a few nights ago called ARQ. It had the same repeated hour time loop story about some perpetual motion machine. I fell asleep as it was so uninteresting.
Don’t bother if you are tempted.
Do good stories about perpetual motion machines/free energy even exist? Snowpiercer (bleh), uh… Chain Reaction…
Keanu Reves is a scientist. No shit.
Depends on what you think about Primer (indie film where people discover a method for time travel) or Moon (about harvesting Helium-3 from the moon to send to Earth).
I thought Primer was incredible. Time travel with personal problems. Did you see Upstream Color? Shane Caruth’s last movie. It’s a love story, circle of life, connectiveness, and pain making art.
I’ve got it in my queue to watch. I’ve got the feeling it’s one that I’ll need to sit and watch instead of having it play on a second monitor while I do something else.
Have you seen Moon yet? If not, and you like hard sci-fi, I highly recommend it.
I’ll check out Moon
I think i saw Primer. Did i see primer? Maybe i saw Primer. I’ll look it up on the flix tonight. It sounds like i saw it and maybe liked it.
It has shit production, but I think they spent 500$ making it.
6 grand all out of pocket. His mom was the caterer, etc. Awesome story. It’s on my queue to review (probably the first English-language one I’ll get to).
Primer is about people who find a way to time travel, although it requires spending as much time in a box as you want to go back. So if you want to go back 2 days, you have to plan to spend 2 days in a box surviving on what you brought in with you. The people who discover it start using it to make large profits on the stock market by going back 3-6 hours and seeing what stocks had large changes with a large volume of trades.
Things then go wrong.
Primer is crazy because time-travel is a mind bending subject. Upstream Color is just nuts.
I want to see these recommendations.
Speaking of time-travel nuts – you can’t go wrong with The Man Who Folded Himself.
Hmm, my memory is quite fuzzy on Primer: I saw it around when it came out and, well, I remember it being really fucking convoluted. Perhaps I’ll give it another try now that there are various handy-dandy reference charts available.
Moon I haven’t seen. I’ll check it out.
This chart is accurate as well. 🙂
I will say it’s a dark film, so don’t expect a happy and cheerful ending.
Excellent
What To Do About Extremism in Germany?
Uh huh.
I am sure all of those offenses were of the same degree, measured by the same standards.
Mohammad hacked 12 people to death.- one extremist incident
4 people complained about it on FB- 4 extremist incidents.
And the Mohammad incident is a right-wing one. They’re a conservative culture.
So 5 right-wing incidents right there!
Ya, that does not quite pass the smell test. I might not know my left from right though, and maybe anyone who disagrees with Erdigon is PKK. Seems about right.
Yeah, that sounds likely. Meanwhile, I can’t listen to the radio from Berlin without hearing about left wing extremists, to say nothing about all those attacks in the name of some snack bar or another.
I’m sure the right wing is exactly what the Germans are worried about.
They dont say what they consider ‘right wing’, do they? They probably mean nationalists, socialists and national socialists.
Makes more sense if you consider Islam “right”.
Not one of Britain’s finest moment to be sure.
Hope the people who causes this unnecessary pain all in the name of the great Satan-State contract painful diseases.
Look, Rufus, that pre little baby was stealing resources from the taxpaying public. Those resources would be much better spent in administration jobs specializing in denying old people hip replacements.
*poor not pre. Auto spell will be the death of civilization. It will. Mark my wards.
It wasn’t about resources. The parents had raised more than enough money to take him to the US for treatment.
It was about the NHS not being proven wrong.
It’s infuriating and should be a major issue to rally around. You know, when I first heard people making helicopter jokes, I rolled my eyes, but with antifa violence and reading so many pieces defending this monstrosity, I now find myself nodding my head instead.
There should be a law. Ya, I said that. There should be a law when the all knowing statists decide that a person will have no chance for treatment even when the cost is not to be borne by the state, and state administrators make that decision for the individual to die, they each have to pick up a hammer and go murder the person. Beat his/her head in one by one and end it sooner rather than later so as to not drag out the cost. A youtube channel should be made of these head bashings. It will be a big hit and get millions of views. All hail the state!
That idea is old… and probably was conceived by dead wypipo.
Wypipo – the new nigger. (hands sweat away from face and stares off into the nothing.)
I had to look that up. Jesus what a goldmine of derp.
So did I. Wow.
Really? I learned it from here, and a couple of searches later I decided I’d just laugh like hell at anyone who called me wypipo and expected me to think it offensive. I’ve been threatened more by being called a cracker when I was in the wrong mall once. Wypipo just entertains me.
Here’s a nigger (hey, he said he doesn’t mind being called that!) explaining why wypipo (I find it funny personally) but his ‘explanation’ is well, circular rubbish. I especially find ‘white people are in the majority so they should just shut up’ shtick to be weak.

Wypipo is something I’ve just learned about in the past weak, along with my new favorite phrase: “neck it”. I’m going to use both as much as I can.
I have known “neck it” since I was 19. But I was “necking it” with mostly Wypipo so maybe I am racist.
Different “neck it”. The one I was referencing came from the residents of Dublin. It’s what was said when you either should kill your drink, or you’ve been nursing it so long it needs help.
“Oi, it’s been last call for a fecking while now. We should have necked these while we could and gotten more.”
“You’ll see several samples of whiskey in front of you. Please wait until we’ve gone through them, and I tell you it’s OK to neck it.”
That is exactly the “neck it” term I know. Lose at quarters, “neck it”. “Neck it” has always been slam your drink to me.
You grab the bottle by the neck, tip and gulp. Ergo necking.
Fantastic. I love learning of slang that has traversed an ocean. This is the first I’ve heard of this term in the US. And to me, and several others that I shared this phrase with, the interpretation was that you were exposing your neck, while you lifted your head up. That’s why we thought the phrase came into being, especially with whiskey and such.
Well, jesus, now you are getting all analytical and I am wondering if I knew what it meant. Maybe I made that up in my head because I was the one usually necking it.
westernsloper: Feel no judgement. My brain meat is broken in special ways, so for me I need to study cultures to have a hope of not standing out as a freak.
Whelp. at least you called a spade a spade unless you were merely delivering some sort of lip service. It’s a dark time that we’re living in and it’s best cloaked in a shroud of black secrecy.
They didn’t have youtube back then.
I’ll settle for public shaming. Out with the names. Let’s go. You want to prevent care to a living creature, then man up and present yourself and explain the decision. No hiding behind all this anti-humanist bull shit statist progressive jargon.
I’m with you. I would not mind if the inter webs made their lives a living hell until they die of old age. Those people can fuck right off.
I don’t want them to die of old age. I want them to die of a horribly painful illness that the NHS can’t treat.
I wonder how these jerkoffs would behave if it was their own child in that situation.
It’s quite the degenerate example of how anti-humanist public health can be.
There ARE death panels.
Watched The Wave.
Pretty good. Norwegian film, I think.
If there are Norse, or Finns or Svedes I am in like Flynn! I knew a Finnish girl that was so pale that you could watch your sperm swim upstream like the mighty coho.
the wife in it is cute.
wikipedia on what they based it on?
link to the movie is at the bottom of that page, too.
You should read “The Greenlanders” by Jane Smiley. It’s bleak and excellent and the only good novel that she ever wrote. Highly recommended for those of us in the “toaster-bath” demographic!
Can we rename the 38th parallel the Dixon-Mason line?
I don’t get it.
Southern slavery in the US. It’s flipped on the Korean Peninsula.
I thought you were making a back handed joke to missile launching that was over my head. I am drunk though. Everything is over my head.
I’ll be joining you in about 6 hours. First time out this month. Too bad our fat little neighbor keeps launching bottle rockets over our house.
Did it go over your heads, or land to the east? If the fat little fucker made it over you, we indeed have some problems.
Damn, I want to make a cartoon on fat boy.
I know where the Doom 2 sprites are modeled, no less. First map, secret courtyard.
I’m a lurker from the old site, and I’ve been lurking here too since the transference. I feel it is worth mentioning that this place is much, much better.
It’s Thicc Thursday, isn’t it?
Among other things, but mostly yes
…Which is where, anyway?
There were technical difficulties this week.

Well that’s donkey whorey er I mean okey dokey.
I used to not know what Dunky means but yeah that’s pretty dunky
Yeh?
Prove you like it here better.
Aren’t you from Canada?
What’s that’s supposed to mean buddy? You wanna fight about it? Dueling’s legal up here.
How do they duel in Canada? Ten paces, turn around, first to apologize to the other means victory?
Fisticuffs and handshakes.
Shit, that was funny. Fuck.
Oh like the illegality of dueling ever stopped anybody. *Throws down, brings it*
Cat Lady is right. You ARE from Canada.
where does she fall on the cute crazy?
She has big tits. Cute + Crazy. That math is out of my league.
What west- wrote. If you can, fuck her until you need sleep. After waking, it’s all about exit plan – if crazy.
Why do you do this to my boners?
Fuck You! Cats are awesome and if there ever was a libertarian animal it would be the common house cat. “Do as you will, I give nary a fuck about it!” and proceeds to lick it’s own nethers.
Yeah. What Cat Lady said.
I’m trans-national.
Rufus, my new neighbor is Canadian. About 4 years older than me, went to Concordia. You probably know him.
His wife is smart, so she went to McGill.
That’s creepy. I went to Concordia and my wife to McGill.
How many Israeli Prime Ministers did you spit on? If it’s less than one your diploma doesn’t count.
He’s a puppet. He can’t spit. Just nod aggressively.
Ugh. Don’t remind me of that retardation.
I just assumed that your wife was smarter.
But this guy’s wife is ridiculously attractive. She invited me to her 40th birthday party, and I thought she said “30”.
Curious. What do these Canucks do?
The husband is in digital media/advertising. He’s here on a 3 year contract.
Ah.
Glad you’re one of the cool kids who came over.
Oh I assure you I am definitely not cool
Georgist, huh?
Just kidding.
They didn’t kick me out over pineapples and flannels, I think you’re safe.
I don’t even know what Georgist means
It was from pretty early on here
another way to split the group here.
So long as you aren’t a “Jamesist” , you’ll be welcome here. Filthy Catholics.
Yet.
*spreads out over thin ice*
At least someone took their boy-scout training seriously!
I’m thinking it’s ultimately going to be the ginger beard that gets you banned, Glibster.
I’ll deserve that, at least.
I have it on good authority that all our base are belong to you.
And my bases is to yours
You know who else gave away their bases?
Abbott and Costello?
well done
The loser in a game of Risk.
The last rats in Washington have finally abandoned the sinking ship that is Maduro’s Venezuela
Of course, it’s only because they don’t have the correct top man in charge any longer.
Naturally, Pelosi cares about the optics.
LOL dumbass
Durrrr, you’re not the same iron-fisted Commie I Used to Know. U changed, man, u used to drive good~~~~~
BIPARTISANSHIP!!!!!11
What do they call that midway ride that kills people? The Screaming Pelosi! That’s the ticket!
Venezuela has merely had a stretch of bad luck since they turned away from real socialism.
/progderp
Red wine and popcorn.
I never apologize.
I have been meaning to make shrimp tacos all evening. Shrimp still in the marinade. I did get some bread baked for tomorrows breakfast toast though.
If you drink enough, you forget about food.
I’m not there tonight, but I have been before.
Oh, but these will be good tacos. Tacos so good they must be made. They will be made. It might be right before breakfast, but god damnit they will be made.
Ah, marinade. The drunkards Maginot Line…
*drops gloves* You calling me French?
Nope, just a dawdler, a sluggard, a lazy man, even. Welcome Friend!
Singers butt is leaking
How about a link you dipshit, straffin. OK.
That Vice interview with 1A superlawyer Randazza was good. He’s defending some wannabe Nazi troll from the SPLC.
Really dumb argument from proggy academics that 1A needs to change to accomodate social media. Fucking idiots have no idea who 1A really protects.
Did you see Shapiro and Carolla testify before congress this week? The proggy Congress critters gave lip service to 1A and then went on to explain how racism is still everywhere. Clear implication being made, but they really, really respect free speech.
That Shapiro talks a good game but for heaven’s sake he should stop and take a breath from time to time. Fuck me that guy needs slaps at two-minute intervals.
Why oh why does it have to be an Illinois Nazi every time?
“Fucking idiots have no idea who 1A really protects.”
Yes they do, thats why they want to change it.
Mys sister in law and my brother are over for the weekend. We had drinks, and her being a lefty, we got into debate. When I pointed out that her position was basically the majority can take away the rights of the minority, she acted all confused…”Is that really what I said?”…for a second I thought there was hope, then it was back to the same old pablum that government should direct society.
Tell her that that’s why we need slavery. As long as we vote it so.
I actually did do that, I got a guffaw in response.
Nice try, Syssiphus.
”Is that really what I said?” Should always be followed by, “yes you did and get the fuck out of my house.”
It didn’t go over well when I said that to my mother.
Hah! Go on…
I did that and then she died. I feel/felt nothing. Have you ever watched “The Lost Skeleton of Cadavera”? wherein the chick keeps saying “Oh Well”?
“The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra”, so good.
“I’m a scientist, I don’t believe in anything”
Those people all have serious day jobs but most of them will be known for the lark. My wife and I busted a gut watching that thing.
for paranoid reasons of paranoia, I won’t say what Ir roll I played in this, but “The lost skeleton of cadavra” certainly had an inspirational inspiration.
Yes, O Skeleton
I was kidding. My mom was actually pretty conservative, my dad is an old fashioned libertarian.
Now, my wacky California-based sister OTOH….
It’s a harsh to the buzz and I apologize, SP. She was something else and I haven’t spoken with my erstwhile step-father for three years. I thought that he was a weakling then and I know that he’s a weakling now. So long…
Had a business with a brother-in-law, went south, then a few months later my dad died. Been pretty harsh not being as in touch with my sister for the last few years; but I can’t handle being around her husband anymore, my having to deal with the company shit distracted me from stuff with my dad.
It’s OK, Festus. No apologies needed.
My mom is gone several years now, too. I was sincerely fortunate in my parents, but I recognize not everyone was so lucky.
Defoo, Defoo!
DeFeo?
I told my mom she was racist for saying black people can’t get ID’s.
Did she tear her curlers out and assume the “stance”?
Ask her where prices come from. Give her all the time she needs.
Duh. They’re set by greedy owners who want to rip off their customers.
Going fishing tomorrow and found a pack of cigs from last year in my packsack.. Still fresh. Smoking them as we speak!
Untaxed Choney Smokes! The lung cancer is all the sweeter, now!
slow down, if you ain’t smoked in a year, and you suck them down like you used to, you’re gonna be weezy in the morning.
I got distracted watching this, which couldn’t be shown on TV today I’m sure, damnit I have to be to work in 8hrs, I need to get to sleep.
Fear not, I smoke Mohawk cigs which are 75% cheaper than white man cigs and probably twice as carcinogenic. They’ll get their land back, one white-eye at a time.
I had the most wonderful thought earlier. The fact that censorship exists proves that it persuasion is possible, If people clung to their beliefs no matter what, there would be no point in suppressing information.
I took comfort from that.
That’s all well and good but you forget that 36% of the body public can’t even read your argument and half of the ones that can don’t want to believe it.
And the other half that can dont understand it.
