This is the greatest article I have read this week.
They’re also having to redesign a couple of their combat vehicles because they’re based on when the PLA was half-starved like most of China, so now they’ve grown a couple inches on average and can’t fit anymore.
Time for another Cultural Revolution to get these millennials in shape!
They check testicular vein size as part of the application? What the fuck.

When the other people on the bus start complaining.
Now how am I supposed to blow off work this afternoon?
In other related news (that no one but me cares about), just had an interview that went well, so hopefully I’m only at the terrible job for a brief while longer.
Fingers crossed. Hope it pans out.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Spoke to the manager on my lunch break today, have a call scheduled with one of their engineers this afternoon, and the manager said I should get a response from them by early next week. No hesitation at my expected salary range, which means I should have gone higher.
Fingers crossed, man. Good luck.
So, fingers crossed then?
Thanks for the response to my Lemmy question. I am jealous.
The things was that while the Lemmy (not even really an anecdote, because I doubt I registered on his radar) experience was fame-y, I actually got to be on the fringe of a number of other bands, not in a groupie-way, but more like a willing Glibertarian ‘orphan’.
A fair number of my weekends were spent rolling amps and freight boxes in and out of Ford Transit vans for gigs around the south of England. Some bands that became bigger names (and some that never made it into anyone’s consciousness) were so dirt poor that they couldn’t easily support proper roadies, so they relied on a “such-and-such is in that town, give him a call an maybe he’ll help out for a couple of beers and a spliff” network, so I did get to meet some people who’d already had their day in the sun, and some that would later do the same.
To an older, more cynical mind, it was pretty exploitative, but are you being exploited if you wanted to do it? It was a hobby. From 15-18 at weekends, and then for 3 years when I was at college I could put in a few hours’ effort and get beer, drugs, entertainment and on occasion, some pretty enthusiastic sex (from female fans) when all I’d be doing otherwise was fapping off or some such activity. What’s more, when the band moved on, I was still in that town, which is where those freaky females (mostly) still lived.
Antibiotics still worked, feminism was still ‘second stage’ and because computers barely existed, I had plenty of time on my hands. Life was good.
I’m not able to get on through work anymore. Phone works but is slow.
I was checking out “(anti-)business insider” on my phone and saw a breathless expozay! about how all consumer products offered for sale on this planet are controlled by a tiny cabal of megakkkorporations. All our food choices re controlled by Nestle! A-B Inbev brews all the beer in the universe! We’re totally the pawns of uberrich kkkapitalists who control our every thought and deed.
I have managed to go years without buying an AB Inbev product. Well, maybe not years, I have purchased Hoegaarden more recently than that. But you get the idea.
I’ve managed it too, simply by not drinking beer.

What happened to the Great Meme War? Is everyone still regrouping in their mom’s basement?
The brief lifespan of memetic imagery resulted in massive causalties that brought the war to a swift and inconclusive resolution.
I haven’t been hanging around /pol/ for awhile, but I assume what normally happens, most people get bored and find other goofy shit to do.
Now they’ve started making memes about punching Nazis.
The joke is that they’re using domestic violence posters as the base imagery.
It’s surprisingly clever. Look for it on the twatters.

Noted confederate general, Christopher Columbus, faces the chopping block in our new era of iconoclasm. Remember certain writers who virtue signaled how they supported taking down confederate statues, but would totally oppose efforts to go farther than that? They were lying the whole time. This will get worse
http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/why-not-pay-women-to-stay-home-raise-children/
“Why Not Pay Women to Stay Home and Raise Children”, asks the American Conservative. Showing once again that most conservatives don’t necessarily want to shrink the size and scope of the state, they just want to tinker with what government funds.

But, they’re “sawry”
They’ve been gunning for Columbus since at least the 80’s.
True, but I think it’s funny that this has obviously expanded beyond confederate generals (which any sane observer would have predicted). Don’t expect the liars who said they would oppose further iconoclasm to actually follow through on that
I agree.
IOW a tolerable wedding-day story for the ages.
(psst, what is a line brawl?)
I assume it’s like line dancing but you punch the people to your left and right.
Hah!
That paying women to to stay home article is almost the dumbest shit I’ve read this week.
MUH BURBS, WHERE ARE MUH BURBS?
And the argument isn’t even really true. The suburbs, for the most part, are less a result of rent-seeking than what occurs in cities today. I like the American Conservative, but every now and then they print such a tone deaf article (usually Pat Buchanan’s recent articles)
The suburbs are a result of the rent-seeking going on in the cities. And by rent-seeking I mean taxation.
One could argue that the interstate system was a de facto subsidization of the burbs, but the entire thing was cooked up as part of the red scare. Otherwise, the growth in the suburbs is directly tied to cities changing their tax laws to put a larger burden on businesses (as well as the explosion of zoning laws and their inherent corruption). When the large employer moves to the outlying areas to escape things like a city “head tax” the employees will eventually follow them. The large employers moving back into cities now are only doing it because of subsidization.
Chicago had to drop their head tax AND enact all sort of corrupt Tax Increment Financing districts to get any non-retail and non-residential development. And all that does is ass-fuck the people living in the city and paying taxes. The only people moving into the city are foreigners too stupid to know the ass-raping they’re going to get and college graduates with no mouths to feed other than their own. The instant they actually start families they look to escape the tax hell. And the city s fine with that as it prevents them from having to maintain a school system.
I like most of this post. I’d only quibble with the immigrant part. Demographics show that suburbs are no more racially and ethnically diverse than most cities. Cities have become playgrounds for rich white liberals and college kids. Immigrants can’t afford to move to them anymore.
‘suburbs are now more…”
Sounds like you need to replace them all with Leif Erikson, the true hero. Now where did he land again? Oh right.
Yes. There is no negative historical connotation connected with any Vikings
Just four SB losses….
The unbearable pain that must come with being a Vikings fan.
I follow the Broncos I feel their pain.
Of course, we also have ’98, ’99, and ’16.
Nothing horrible about Leif in the Sagas though. He just showed up, wintered here, and came back to Greenland with some grapes and wood.
Yeah, but he discovered Canada. That’s a pretty offensive legacy
Did he say ‘sorey!’ when he bumped into it?
Actually he discovered Newfoundland, which only became a part of Canada in 1949 after they bankrupted themselves.
But that’s ok, I know that American maps have everything labeled outside their country as “HERE BE DRAGONS.”
Don’t be silly, Canada is labelled as “HERE BE ICE”
Terra Maple Syrupia
We haven’t used the Dragon maps in years, we’ve moved past our old superstitious ways.
Canada is now labeled with an angry moose.
Our maps show America and then the rest is labeled “Not Important”
An angry moose’ll fuck you day up right quick.
I thought this was the map your betters in government worked off of.
Wow, liberals finally co opted a meme from the other side. Well played.

Everything up north is still subservient to the Queen, so as far as I’m concerned it’s all part of the Empire. Canada has like a dozen different dates for important milestones that amount to nothing more than rearranging the chairs in the living room. Wake me up when you finally decide to go outside.

/looks down at bank account.
WHAT’S THIS YOU SAY ABOUT EQUALIZATION PAYMENTS?
Canada is a Dominion, which means, historically, that’s it’s a self-administered country within the British Empire. The Queen is the head of state but that is the only section of the British political system that has any influence over us, and it’s never really been used in any capacity whatsoever. We make our own decisions, and historically whenever we pushed for more power (demanding an independent seat separate from Britain at the 1919 peace conference, for example) they’ve folded pretty quickly. Also, the Empire is dead, Canada’s part of its successor alliance, the Commonwealth.
A union of independent states being slowly crushed by overwhelming federal authority for the past hundred and fifty years should not be so quick to judge.

I accidentally posted a whole bunch of links that are still in moderation. This is all I wanted to post. Please delete oh great and powerful edit fairy
And very helpful it is!
It’s really a public service announcement
Damn! It’s fixed? I got here too late to flood the queue with dozens of inane comments.
All of my comments are ane.
^ This right here is why I come to this site.
OT: Why did no one conceive of the Free City Project instead, if not in addition to, the Free State Project? There are many cities with similar populations to New Hampshire, many of which are utter shitholes in desperate need of an infusion of liberty.
That would be smart.
You have to pick an “ungentrified” city with significant population decline so that liberty-lovers are not outnumbered by food stampers. I think a Rust Belt city in Ohio or Michigan would be a good target, like Youngstown, Flint, or Toledo.
I think people are more likely to move to New Hampshire than some urban rust belt shithole, which are firmly in the grasp of crony prog corruptocrats.
NH has its advantages and disadvantages. It apparently has a long history of conservative politics, an anomaly in the NE, and it has a small enough population for libertarians and non-traditional conservatives to make a difference. The problem is that it is boxed in by Progtopias in Vermont and Massachusetts.
Well, it’s my understanding that Connecticut too *had* a long history of conservative politics, but look at it now.
that might help. Everyone who wants to leave only has to move 50 miles.
Flint would be an excellent choice. You have a population that seems to be rightfully incensed with local bureaucratic malfeasance with the water pollution issue, and then it’s also the spawning ground of noted freedom-hugger, Michael Moore.
Never mind that the current population consists of blacks (vote 95% prog), union members (vote 85% prog) and college students at UM Flint (vote 90% prog).
It’s all prog all the time there, and they love free trade so much, they will slash your tires or key your car if you leave a Honda unattended in the parking lot.
I could have sworn people talked about this sometime not long ago with Petersburg VA, since it’s a dying shithole.
I have a large family in a nearby town. Too many people are tied to or employed by the state government in the area to make much of a difference politically (next door to Richmond).
I live in Richmond – I don’t think many state workers commute into RVA from Petersburg. It’s kind of far for one thing, and then there’s that dying shithole part.
We could buy most of Detroit for $20 and a box of doughnuts.
The box of donuts being the pay-off to the DPD.
Do you really think libertarians want to live in that close of proximity to other libertarians, let alone other people? That would be terrible. Everything you do would be judged to show how not True-libertarian you are.
I thought libertarians like to leave each other alone…or so I thought. Who leaves each other alone harder?
I always picture the one guy on every street in Libertopia.
Me: “Whoa, your house is a serious shade of green, Frank. The stripper pole by the mailbox is fun. And is that… is that topiary supposed to be Old Mrs Sanders getting fucked by… oh, that’s you, isn’t it, Frank?”
Frank: “I know! Isn’t it great? And nobuddy can do nuffin about it!”
(And yes, it still beats a power-hungry, vindictive HOA in non-Libertopia.)
I would laugh every time I walked past.
Decent odds this is just projection. I’ve always had a thing for Old Mrs Sanders.
And if it wasn’t for that damned Old Mr. Sanders, you would have got away with it too!
There was one libertarian proposal to convert Detroit to a free city. Don’t remember which group but I think there was a vid interview with them over at TOS.
There is a free city in Honduras.
And given that the population’s political arguments are over whether Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or Louis Farrakhan would be the best president, you’d have to import half a million libertarians to swing the city council.

Of course, being a member of a corporate DDOS team would have you come in one morning and initiate a ‘project’ against Weyand-Yutani.
Then a 1980’s-era Rutger Hauer would pop an alert requesting your presence in Meeting Room 3, where you discover you were working for Weyland-Yutani all along.

Then she’d hop in a van and they’d run down the street and drop her off at the next corner. “Good morning, Mr. President.” Repeat a few more times and hilarity.

Years ago, a local TV station somehow had that Simpsons screenshot as as their oh shit tape. One glorious outage I saw it broadcast live as they were having problems.

Walther updated their P22 (now P22QD) to add a decocker.
California-compliant P22 models remain unchanged.
lol
They can’t legally change them because it would require them to instantiate firing pin microstamping, which no one is actually capable of doing.
By those words I’m understanding that a firing pin would have a stamp on it that would mark each shell when fired? Would that have to be unique? How fast would that be ground off by regular gun owner?
Its supposed to stamp the serial number of the gun into each fired primer. By law it has to be setup so filing the number off makes the gun malfunction. It’s total bullshit on par with smart guns that’s designed to create a de facto gun ban.
criminals could pick up their casings?
Exactly, revolvers would make a comeback.
“Daddy, why does your gat look like a Gutenberg Press?”
To my understanding the firing pin leaves a unique mark on the primer already, which is partly how forensic scientists are able to determine if the firearm made the recovered casings at the crime scene.
Which is why the prudent criminal will buy a few spare firing pins and barrels, which he can do without breaking the law, even if he can’t legally own a gun.
You should always keep spare parts…
don’t ever change, california.
When I lived in a dry county, there were liquor stores right over the county line.
Are there gun stores right over the CA state line?
No need for a decocker in California, they cut off your balls automatically in that state.
