So you would like some links? You have the NSN for them? OK, how about the LIN? End item code…? You just want “links”. Well, I’ll see what we have on hand here…
These look like they are still in the unopened box, so why don’t you give them a try?
- Friday’s “incident confirmed that such a position is necessary.” Of course it did.
- The Gropeocaust continues.
- Glass ceiling shattered, shitlords! Now, someone needs to scold those patriarchal police for attacking a strong womyn, who is in charge!
- A task for our commentariat – where does this woman place on the Hot/Crazy matrix?
If those don’t work, just fill out a request. You should be able to find the correct numbers in those manuals…

Any decision on holsters yet?
Two styles of pocket holsters from Desantis arriving Thursday. And two types of IWB holsters from Crossbreed arriving in the next couple of weeks. I’ll try a lot of different things out.
I have a CYA IWB that I’m happy with. Great retention, smooth edges, kydex covers all the important stuff. Vedder makes a slightly better IWB (steal belt clip) but the CYA is half the price.
ooohhhhh Crossbread makes those soft-looking leather ones. nice.
40+ lbs of ammo was delivered by Cabela’s last week. Getting an itchy finger.
Nice.
Sgammo.com is my go to for ammo, although Brownells has been getting some of my business lately.
Cyber-Monday. On sale and no shipping.
Aaand, progressive heads explode from San Francisco to San Marino.
What did you buy again?
4 pistols. His and hers — Springfield EMPs and EMP 4s.
Nice.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy them.
I am sure we will.
Already looking into tactical shotguns. So many toys to check out.
When it comes to shotguns, there are only two:
Mossberg 500 and Remington 870.
People will try to scam you into spending a pile of money on a Benelli, but go with the pump and go with one of those two. You will not regret it.
I bought a Mossberg 590 and I’m a satisfied customer.
870s are reliable and you can pick up a nice used model fairly cheap. I got mine for $200.
But the Vepr-12 is on sale rate now. Sure it lacks the pants shitting pump action sound effect but it makes up for it in volume.
I bought a Mossberg 590 and I’m a satisfied customer.
Me too. Paid $250 (no background check) for mine. It looks like it has been through a war, but it shoots like it’s new.
Of note to those who are gun neophytes. The Mossberg 590 is the same gun as the Mossberg 500, but with some upgraded components.

I can neither confirm nor deny…
Also she was on my short list for the human female on Noah’s Ark until she mangled her lips with those G-d awful injections.
If she ever needs help supporting those, I’d be willing to sacrifice my time and energy.
2 looks interesting. Would like to read more.
It would be better if her face was more visible.
Maybe, maybe not.
This way we don’t have to be disappointed.
So many of these women are forced to take less than perfect mirror shots. I’d be happy to join a Glib club of photographers to go on site and take professional photographs.
I dunno. I photograph models all the time. I love the nudity, Hate the critiques afterwards. (God damn it, there’s a reason it got edited like it did!)
I have the NSN. Unfortunately, we already blew through our budget for FY17.
I mean, how else were you going to justify that increase in ’18 amirite?
Sorry, we’re cutting your budget instead of an 8% increase you’re getting a 7% increase.
DISASTER!

“Racially Offensive Nutcracker” – I’m going to use that.
where does this woman place on the Hot/Crazy matrix?
One of Q’s boob-list women had sex with him?
Definitely in the crazy zone, I don’t want ghost herpes.
Not hot enough to offset the crazy, IMO.
Now I thought she was just hot enough to land on “Would, then run away”.
Besides, she’d be banging the ghost behind your back. Slut.
You could end up like this…
Superman sees Wonder Woman out nude sunbathing. Superman figures that he can swoop down and fuck Wonder Woman without her even realizing it because he’s Superman right? He’s faster than a speeding bullet. So he swoops down and fucks her and he’s gone in a flash! Wonder Woman gets up and says ‘what the hell was that?’ And the invisible man says, ‘I don’t know … but my ass sure hurts.
Great excuse to exit when the crazy gets out of hand.
That is a definitely a British 10 (AKA 7). You would not cut your tongue sticking it in her mouth.
Truth. A trusted source observed its like they’ve given up in Brittany, the women think either you’re born hot or your not. Beauty is something unattainable through effort, and as a result, they don’t make any effort. No competitive pressure for hotties.
A British 8, really. Not much to comment on – crappy ink, looks a bit worn out for 26 (that whole under-eye thing looks like she’s had work done) and obviously nuttier than a box of squirrel shit.
Add to that – and I know this is perverse – the name. This chick is either a wannabe or a genetic Taff. She moves right to the Welsh borderlands, but not actually into Wales. it’s like she just wants to put it in a bit.
Oh, and my guess is she’s just watched Truly, Madly, Deeply and feels a bit in need of attention.
Not hot.
Next!
^^^This^^^ Also there’s plenty of crazy in there.
Freaking shocked by the fact that her teeth are pretty decent for a British bird.
That depends. I have pretty good looking teeth, but orthodontically, I’m a disaster.
Just shut the fuck up. Jesus Christ.
The retards agree with me!
Sky Walker? Oh come on – that can’t be a real name.
I could completely see an obsessed Star Wars fan with the last name “Walker” naming their kid “Sky”.
“I come across so many racial incidences…”
Definitely not a case of finding it whether it is there or not. Nope.
How are you supposed to spell twitter?
Proper noun. Just like God.
Oh, duh. I should’ve known that.
A task for our commentariat – where does this woman place on the Hot/Crazy matrix?
Let’s see – her crazy is, like, 2 at best (she cut nothing off, burnt nothing and broke only my suspension of disbelief) and hot seems a generous 8 (because she smiles like a human, not like a millennial). Formula says “would”
*nods*
I believe the crazy starts at 4.
Yes. All women are at least a 4 crazy.
What classifies as a millennial smile? Can you give me example pics?
Most of the otherwise very nice ladies on Q posts. I look at their faces and go “Why, miss? WHY?”
Ducklips
Not to mention that squatting thing they they all do. What the hell is that about?

On second thought, is there video of this alleged “ghost sex”?

Please ‘splain to me again how the weather in CA is so great that it’s worth it to live in a commie shithole? Cause I just ain’t seein’ it.
Hey, they have mudslides and earthquakes too, not just fires!!!!
And floods!
It IS pretty awesome. I was thrilled to get out of California when I moved, but the weather truly was wonderful. I lived without air conditioning and I hardly ever missed it, and I’m a man who hates to be warm.
It’s a big place, and it’s less commie than DC is.
The populated areas are as commie as it gets.
If it’s about weather, I’d rather deal with hurricanes than earthquakes. At least we know hurricanes are coming and we can get the fuck out. A 9.3 could hit LA on an unknown fault in 5 minutes and y’all would have no idea! (just saying)
Fires, I hate fires. I’ll take the hurricane.
Nah. 7.8 max down here. Seattle, on the other hand….
Yes, Seattle’s ultrafucked when Cascadia breaks.
I thought 7.8 was the max on San Andreas though, not the max for LA?
Blind thrust faults are much more limited because of their length of rupture. San Andreas is going to be the max for this area, although there is some evidence that the South Branch of the San Andreas fault and the San Jacinto Fault zone rupture at the same time.
The big problem here is that Interstates 5, 10, and 15 all cross the fault, which would isolate the region for several weeks after a big quake.
it’s less commie than DC is
As somebody who has spent significant amounts of time in the Bay Area and in DC, I laugh at this. There are certainly patches of open totalitarianism in DC, but the Bay Area is one enormous commune.
I KNOW, RIGHT????
It sucks! Why, oh why didn’t I stay in Buffalo, NY!?
I live near Fort Lauderdale. Used to live in Syracuse.
Weather-wise, I’d rather still be living in Syracuse.
I’m weird.
I’m with ya there. When I lived in Miami, I found the lack of seasons to be unnerving. And I hate humidity.
I’m with you. I hate heat and humidity.
I like California but “pleasant” every fucking day? Please.
Can you believe all of these assholes at the beach in trunks and Santa Claus hats??? Do they think it’s some sort of Mele Kalikimaka????
I was just down there digging up long-necked clams near the pier and found myself thinking life would be so much better if the temperature was 60 degrees colder and the humidity was 600% higher.
Did you go for King Tide? I went on Sunday, and the birds were having a field day.
Shouldn’t you two be fleeing a wildfire, whilst lamenting that your 12% income tax couldn’t buy fire equipment?

Or, you know.
I think your beef is with canyons. If you live in a canyon, eventually you’re going to get damaged by wind, water, and fire.
Ugh. The high here in Chicago was 38.
Lol. I don’t think we cracked 20.
That’s almost not shorts weather anymore.
You could just come to KY, we have all the seasons in week.
This week alone we have gone from 60’s to 40’s to 20’s.
It was 47 at 5 A.M. had to turn the heater on
High today was 9, high tomorrow of -1. Currently 9 with 16 mph wind (G25) and wind chill of -8.
But we don’t have much snow left after the warm weather we’ve had. It’s been up into the 30s most days for a couple weeks now, with lows only in the 20s. Very nice!
Currently 57 in NYC.
*nice*

Ghost sex? She is the reason for the season, no?
Bah. Humbuggery.
Please tell me that all of the people caught up in the sexapalooza scandals will hang their heads in shame and quietly disappear from public life. The world would be such a nicer place.
Conyers resigned and in the same breath endorses his son for his seat.
Odds his son wins?
Nephew was what I saw earlier.
I would not bet against him.
Shades of Dan Lipinski in Chicago. He won the Democratic primary in a heavily Democratic district. Resigned from the election. The Democratic Party searched for a suitable replacement and amazingly chose Dan Lipinski Jr. who went on to win the seat.

One thing I agree with the SJWs about: nothing on Earth is more privileged than a middle class white girl. If that was a belligerent white dude, he would have been dragged by his ankles, and if he hit a cop, they would have all beat him down.
she’s also a nurse so if she works at Miami-Dade, then possibly lots of LEO contacts.
middle class white girls are the least threatening of all the drunks.
Ghost sex lady: would.
I was eating lunch with a couple of friends last week when we started talking about all the sexual harassment/groping claims being made in the past couple of months. Crazy enough, my friend who is a dye in the wool liberal expressed his skepticism about all of these claims. Granted he’s a lawyer, but he found it disconcerting that a mere accusation without any sort of evidence can ruin a man’s life and it will eventually effect men’s attitudes towards women in the work place. Even my wife who calls herself a feminist thinks that many of these sudden accusations are somewhat suspicious.
In my humble opinion, while I think some of these accusations do have some merit, many of them are either due to this narcissistic obsession to be seen as a victim or being convinced by some asshole that a guy leering at you, hitting on you at some college party, or being asked for your number constitutes sexual assault.
PS: Mike Pence’s policy of not being alone with women beside his wife doesn’t look as foolish as the MSM made it out to be.
What’s beginning to stink is lack of producers being outed (other than Patient Zero himself). I mean, if casting couch is a thing (and it is), why is it only couple low-rate directors got accused?
Purge of journalist class is fun to see, though. If I weren’t lazy, I’d start looking for their articles on O’Reilly…
The best part about all of this is watching the Left being forced to live by their own bullshit standards. Another fun aspect of all of this is watching Clinton apologists trying to reconcile the idea that women would never lie about sexual assault and should always be believed with Bill Clinton being accused of sexually assaulting women and his wife sticking with him despite the accusations. The mental gymnastics to reconcile this shit must be painful and exhausting.
It’s easy to reconcile when you start with principals not principles.
But didn’t they do that 20 years ago already? Now it’s just young feminists eating the old ones.
Ugh…that’s almost a SF concept…
She didn’t just stick by him. She was complicit, she willfully and knowingly enabled him, and it was her job to destroy the reputations and livelihoods of his accusers.
Where is Bill anyway? Haven’t seen him on any news broadcast since the Weinstein shit hit the fan. Would love to see a reporter – Fox or whatever – show up at one of his $200,000 speeches and ask him his opinion about Weinstein, Lauer, etc.
Probably indulging his 1-900-DIALPORN habit
PAN WANTS SPIELBERG’S BLOOD.
Or cum.
TO SPILL!
Huh, I never thought of him. Just, you know, creepy fat old guys who finance movies so they can bang starlets. I refuse to believe Weinstein is literally the only one in Hollywood.
Had a client meeting this morning.
Said client, a middle aged white woman, has always worked in a predominately male field. She looked at me and said, “I might have to give up my Woman Card for this, but can you believe the crap people are calling sexual harassment? The only instance I *ever* saw in 30 years in this field was when I was traveling with a male colleague on a marketing trip. Halfway through the day he told me, ‘We aren’t getting this contract.’ When I asked why, he replied, ‘Because I wouldn’t fuck the chick in charge of the project and our competitor would.’ So the only instance I ever saw was a woman harassing a man.”
Me: “So no guy ever hit on you in the workplace or anything like that?”
Client: “That’s just men and women being men and women. Say no, or slap him and move on. Calling things like that sexual assault diminishes actual assault. #metoo, my ass.”
(Yes, she’s a favorite client.)
Refreshing.
We’re still doomed, in the long run.
100% of the affidavits sworn about me are lies.
An accusation is nothing but just that.
Ummmm…. this kind of stuff happens constantly…. why is her situation so special it warrants being written up in a paper?

I have a friend who’s about my age, which means her parents are in their early 60s. Another friend of hers saw her father out with another woman, and reported it. Friend went to mother with the news, and was confronted with the reality that her father’s sex drive was still very strong, but her mother’s had dropped to zero, and so they had an arrangement. Friend had a lot of trouble processing the concept.
There’s the problem, and the reason why we should mind our own damn business. Both the woman I live with, and the woman I’ve been dating for three years, have both been “informed” by busybodies. Tough for them to explain how not only they know, but the fact that they’re both friends who talk almost every day on the phone. Leave folks alone. You never know.
*takes notes*
No thanks.
Lots of derp going around on Twitter over the news that Trump is ready to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel and may potentially call for the relocation of the US Embassy to Jerusalem. I wonder what percentage of the Jewish vote switches from Hillary to Trump if it actually happens, especially since the left can no longer use the “ANTI-SEMITE!” talking point against him.
I wouldn’t count on it. Half the Jews I know hold the Democrat Party in higher esteem than their synagogue.
I’m not saying that enough Jews would switch to the point of flipping New York in 2020, but perhaps he could get 10-15% more to join his base.
Only half?
American Judaism is like mainline Protestantism: God so loved the world, he sent us Democratic political candidates to vanquish the Republicans/Satan.
Earn like Episcopalians
Vote like Puerto Ricans
OK, I’ll turn myself in to the thought police
No need. They are already en route to your door.
Can he even do that?
Get me a Hawaiian judge on the line, ASAP!
There’s enough Senate support to pull it off. A June resolution encouraging Trump to relocate the US Embassy to Jerusalem passed in a 90-0 vote.
Yes. It’s actually already US law that Jerusalem is the capital and the embassy should be moved there, but the law was written to allow the president to defer said action. Trump has merely to end the 18 year deference and allow the law to go into effect.
There’s an awful lot of Jews who seem to have at least a mild dislike for Israel.
So, self-hating?
Goes along what all that (((guilt))).
He’s not telling them what their capital should be, he’s simply recognizing their internal decision.
Sorry, Israel, embassies cost a lot and we’re not moving ours.
Because the U.S. is so careful about spending money on the Middle East?
Nah. Even the conservatives/libertarians among us (at least that I’ve talked to) are mostly pissed that he’s doing this for political reasons (and that’s for Evangelicals, not Jews) that are going to fuck up things for Israel with no measurable consequences to the US.
I think that it’s a very good move, but I tend to be more on the pro-Israel side of the libertarian foreign policy spectrum, or at least the “don’t appease the radical Middle Eastern regimes” side. There’s no reason to reward Palestine with a two-state solution as long as they continue to deny the existence of the Jewish state and as long as the majority of Palestinians continue to support terroristic regimes like Hamas.
Not so much a “don’t appease them” as a “don’t piss off the few countries over there that don’t actively hate us” thing.
They already have a two-state solution: Israel and Jordan.
Which was the entire point of the original British Mandate.
Funny thing is, the Palestinians would be treated far, far worse if they were in the same situation but with another Arab country nearby.
Wow! You can order stuff if you know the NSN and not have to submit it through your chain of command plus have a sworn statement signed in blood for why you need it plus a statement of charges if it was previously issued? Sweeet!

Donald Trump can now look forward to fair covfefe from ABC News:
ABC says Ross will no longer cover stories involving Trump
“Why won’t people just uncritically swallow our propaganda like they used to? Our democracy is under assault.”
Spare me. They’re just not used to having an alternative media that calls them out on their bullshit.
“Everyone has to be more careful, and every story has to be vetted more than ever before,” she said. “If one person makes a mistake it makes us all look bad. We all get tainted.”
I dont know who she is trying to fool. Herself, probably.
I was watching Squawk when this broke – after a quick “ABC is reporting” fly-by John Harwood ran full-sprint with the narrative while liberally adding his own “this is why this is so bad” made-up nonsense. Meanwhile, the DJIA is literally tanking on-screen – it was over an hour in before anyone on CNBC even bothered to question the report. Other journalists and news outlets should be skewered for this.
The leaked conference call seemed….. staged. I wonder what he really said behind closed doors.
Whoops. That was in reference to this:
http://money.cnn.com/2017/12/04/media/abc-news-president-brian-ross-flynn-correction/index.html
And let’s turn the mike over to the late Bradlee:
https://youtu.be/ga6EaCVeR18?t=1m3s
So she’s just basically admitting that they did less vetting in the past and didn’t really care that much about when people made mistakes. Got it.
“Everyone has to be more careful, and every story has to be vetted more than ever before,” she said. “If one person makes a mistake it makes us all look bad. We all get tainted.”
They just came to this conclusion just now?
When I was younger, I used to have a lot respect for journalists because I naively thought that they didn’t have a partisan body in their bone and told news truthfully, without any sort of agenda. Hell I even wanted to be one. Boy, was I wrong.
They still haven’t finished wiping the chocolate jesus’ spunk off of their chins and we get this drivel? I have to laugh.
Isn’t fair covfefe the one where the distributors and roasters agree to pay the writer pool a living wage or something?

Sunday is for sleeping
Oh, dear, how I would LOVE to get an in-depth peek into the spending habits of these tales of woe.
“that the plan is designed to benefit the middle class, has a shaky foundation — that the rich are the big winners.
And the middle class is already struggling.”
Thats right, that pie only has so many slices. This another example of the stupidity of progs. They are zero-sum thinkers.
How do you blow that much money/year? I make less than that, drive a new Q50, have a mortgage, have student loan payments, etc. and I’m still saving 500-1000/month?
You don’t have kids yet
True
Indeed. Our household income between me and the missus is about $80k, and we live comfortably but frugally, which is why we don’t end up featured in such an article.
‘…where does this woman place on the Hot/Crazy matrix?’
I’d throw a sheet over myself, pretend to be a ghost and woooooo….woooOOOOOO…her.
*narrows gaze*
“Being a normal person, it didn’t actually bother me, but once i decided to raise the subject for my mob of peers, of course: OUTRAGE!! was the only possible solution”
a story i’ve mentioned in the past, which still makes me giggle a little:
My high school was about 40% jewish, 60% “all other” (maybe 30% white of either protestant or catholic origin, 15% asian/indian, 15% black/hispanic)
in general, you never really noticed the heavy-jewish tilt of the school. you got the extra days off for holidays, which was nice, but aside from that, it was transparent
but then comes St Patricks day. Which is basically a silly hallmark holiday which catholics writ large don’t really give a shit about, but still: people wear green, and you get a tiny sense of acknowledgement of irish heritage
so people wear green. and they have green bagels in the cafeteria.
but the thing that crossed the line for me: Over the door to the cafeteria, someone had put this cardboard cutout of a Leprechaun. and he had a text-bubble coming out of his mouth: “Mazel Tov!”
that is a (facepalm) that has lasted with me for nearly 30 years
Leprechauns hoard gold – would it really be surprising if they were part of the Tribe?
Interesting…
Look. (((We))) control all the gold. The leprachauns help us hide it at the ends of rainbows. It’s a good partnership. They’re happy to do it. The best thing is, we don’t even have to give them money. We pay them in beer.
Harp, no less, not even good beer!
(((Lucky Charms)))?
C’mon, dude.
We give them He’Brew
All the gold?
*ahem*
but do they get a good rate of return? and does he have a good lawyer?
Everyone knows Leprechauns are extinct.
Another sad consequence of Drumpf’s EPA rollbacks 🙁
Who says Leprechaun are Catholic anyway? CITATION NEEDED.
Are you sure that wasn’t trolling?
I’m probably completely missing the point here, but why would that be a problem? I mean it might be a little cringy just in terms of awkwardness, but isn’t mocking social justice cadres for being “triggered by cultural appropriation” something all sane people do for fun? Is this really that different?
“”I’m probably completely missing the point here, but why would that be a problem? “”
It was not a problem. Just like most examples of microaggressions are not ‘problems’.
But leprauchauns saying ‘mazel tov’ is fucking funny.
Nevermind the holiday is for a Catholic saint. I’m not sure who among the Catholics celebrating the day as something other than “free green cookies” would actually even recognize hebrew phrases.
It was still funny, larfed
“Oy vey, begorrah!”
on Martin Luther King day, the school band should plays the Allman Brothers “dreams”. That would be cool.
That would be pretty cool.
TSA is approving extensions to REALID noncompliant states to Oct 2020 as long as they’re making approved progress. This is what federally mandated reciprocity will look like in the future- minimum requirements set by a Democrat controlled congresss and signed by a Democrat president.
Fuck Real ID and fuck every politician who voted for it.
I’m just going to carry my passport to get onto airplanes rather than “upgrade” to a Real-ID compliant DL in Florida.
I’d get a temp job as a TSA guy just so I could wear an armband and say “Papers Please” to everyone at the checkpoint.
that would be hilarious for the 15 minutes you’d last before getting fired.

Who will gift a Senate seat to Chelsea? Does she have residence in Arizona? That could be McCain’s crowning achievement.
I’m sure she can come up with a house in any state she wishes to.
The Clinton Foundation has both depth and breadth of reach.
Well, some Politico jackass thinks she’d be a swell candidate to run for Tom Cotton’s seat if he were to take a post in the Trump administration.
Replacing one shithead with another if a different stripe. Makes sense.
My current prediction: Clintons, with the help of Gov. McAuliffe, will encourage Mark Warner to step aside and allow Chelsea Clinton to succeed him.
I oughta punch you in the mouth for that.
Teach her how to “center-left” and she’d basically be senator for life in VA. At which point I’d recommend that you move one state down to my home state if possible.
Hell with that – eventually the whole East Coast will be infiltrated. When, not if, I get driven to flee, I’m moving to Texas or Oklahoma or Wyoming, someplace like that.
The Carolinas are looking better and better lately…
I thought I had heard she had no interest in politics? She is dumb as a dirt clod so if she does go into it there will certainly be entertainment value.
GAH!
She’s a Clinton. Whoever is in the seat she wants will conveniently die.

“According to an essay in the social-justice blog Everyday Feminism, it actually “might be” possible for Asian Americans to appropriate Asian culture — yes, even though it’s their own culture.
“There are two main reasons why we might be considered to be culturally appropriating as people of the Asian diaspora,” Ayesha Sharma writes in a post titled “Can Asian-Americans Appropriate Their Own Culture?” “The first is we’re reclaiming our culture with some unfamiliarity and distance from the cultures of our ‘homelands.’”
Sharma, who is “a non-binary South Asian scholar,” writes that they — “they” is the pronoun that Sharma prefers, as seen in the bio of one of their other essays — have “found a lot of power in reclaiming the bindi,” “because . . . it isn’t just a decorative symbol.”
A bindi, according to Webster’s, “is a mark (such as a red dot) or piece of jewelry worn on the middle of the forehead especially by Hindu women.”
“It represents my resistance to the ways that my South Asian community has policed my gender and claimed that South Asianness is narrow in its possibilities,” Sharma writes.
Clearly, Sharma understands the cultural significance of the bindi, and considers it something to be very important to them. Add to that the fact that they are South Asian themselves, and you would think that there would be absolutely no problem with their decision to wear one.
But you’d be wrong. According to Sharma, some people actually do think that it’s kind of a problem for people like Sharma to wear a bindi — because even though they may be South Asian and understand its significance, they are still not actually, physically living in South Asia — meaning that they actually might be appropriating their own culture”

Given the Russian doping regimen, that’s quite believable.
I mean, when you have the head of their “anti-“doping committee actively participating in cheating WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE GOING ON IN THEIR COUNTRY, there’s trouble. The IOC chickened out of kicking Russia out of the 2016 Summer Games, but I guess the payments didn’t come through for the Winter Olympics.

Is this surprising? I mean wasn’t this obvious a long time ago? Look there are at host of millennial sites embracing social justice politics – Mic, Medium, Vox, Buzzfeed, the Gawker universe, that’s just general interest social justice millennial off the top of my head and ignoring the big media’s forays into the field. It’s been a crowded market. This should have been obvious for a long while.

Out of all the sites that went all SJW in the past few years (and no, Reason still isn’t one of them), Cracked was the saddest. It used to be one of my favorite sites on the internet.

Go have group sex. Do it, no skin off my nose. However saying it’s “healthy” and you’ll meet “Ms. Right” at an orgy? That’s a bridge too far my friend.
I mean, if you’re into orgies, it would be nice to orgy with a gal who likes orgying.
It’s orgies all the way down.
Um, I have known more than a couple of people who met their eventual mrs/mr right at an orgy.
Thing is if you are the sort of person who is into that scene, your Mr/Mrs right pretty much has to be into it as well and your odds of meeting someone who is into it anywhere but an orgy are pretty slim.
Speculations: thinking about schizophrenia, the prototypical model of insanity and mental illness brings with it some interesting questions about how humans function. Typically schizophrenia has positive symptoms (things that other people would normally not experience, delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thought etc.) and negative symptoms (deficits of what is considered normal, alogia, avolition, flat affect etc.). It’s been pretty well established that individuals with more pronounced negative symptoms than positive symptoms invariably do worse in daily functioning and have an inferior quality of life to those the other way around. I find this interesting since you’d think that hearing voices and having crazy delusions would be more disruptive than being unemotional and unmotivated. What does this say about human interaction and “society” (I hate that word)?
*slowly edges away from Q*
I don’t know, but let me ask the voices in my head what they think.
Voices in your head? that’s nuts, my dog always gives the best advice.
Having employed a schizophrenic with both positive and negative symptoms, I can only tell you this: anti smoking drugs do not react well with anti psychotics.
Something like 90% of schizophrenics smoke. It’s likely a form of subconscious self-treatment.
His functionally retarded GP decided that he needed to stop smoking for his health and put him on the patch.
Two days later he was in full ranting to himself mode and just left work. Nobody knew where he went. Turns out he was a mile down the road at the local grocery store. He bought a pack and was chain smoking them all while pacing back and forth and muttering loudly right in front of the entrance. Cops picked him up minutes later.
Didn’t Thomas Szasz write about that?
Would you be happier in the Maxtrix or the real world?
The question kind of reminds me of Nozick’s experience machine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_machine
That depends, am I a matrix lord?
I used to work in a mental hospital doing a great deal of direct patient care. Most people who hear voices know they are just hearing voices. It is very common for them to carry a small radio and ear buds to drown them out. Many of them function fairly well if they are properly treated.
It’s the odd bird that hears voices and believes they are real. Never, ever, ever turn your back on them. Never.
The guy two houses over from me is in his mid-20s, lives with his mom, and hears voices. Some of them are very real to him. The cops are over there twice a week calming him down after his mother gets nervous. There’s constant shouting, banging, and smashing sounds. And the guy is BIG. It’s a little freaky.
That does sound scary. Very scary. That probably wont end well. It usually manifests somewhere between 15 and 20. Without medication it only ever gets worse. By the time that poor guy is 30 he wont be living with his mother.
He won’t make 30 if the po-po is involved.
Ugh.
It’s fairly simple really: antipsychotics are very effective at treating positive symptoms and usually not good at all at treating the negative symptoms. The negative symptoms are almost untreatable so, if they’re more pronounced, it would follow that they would tend to be more problematic than the treatable positive ones.
The problem with anti-psychotics is that they themselves have some pretty nasty side effects. It is very difficult to keep patients on them.
Absolutely, it’s why so many schizophrenics stop taking their meds. Some of those effects are neurological (parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia) and worsen irreversibly with total cumulative dose so I could see why a medicated schizophrenic who’s thinking (relatively) clearly would choose to not take them.
Their number one complaint is loss of libido. They would rather be crazy and horny than sanish and emotionally/physically flat.
Where does that place on the hot/crazy matrix?
Would.
She’s not all that great to look at, probably only a 6 or 7 at best however while she scores moderately high on the crazy scale believing that a wet dream was something that actually happened is rather harmless and not too far out there so I’d only rank her a 5 or 6 on the crazy scale (as of now that is, the grade here is based on very incomplete evidence and it could easily be revised upward with new data)
So would as a one night stand or occasionally FB hookup but would not have anything resembling a relationship
Maybe she really did have sex with a ghost, did you ever think of that? (I barely made it through typing that)
Who hasn’t had sex with figments of their imagination.

Is there something you’re trying to tell us, Q?
Her body would be worth suffering through her little ghost story but I’m not sure listening to her obvious infatuation with her ex would be.
USDA – more control to the States on SNAP:
WASHINGTON, December 5, 2017 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is promising increased cooperation with states in the operation of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to promote self-sufficiency, integrity in the program, and better customer service. To make these improvements, USDA intends to offer state agencies greater local control over SNAP, the safety net program that serves millions of eligible, low-income individuals and families. Specifics on such flexibilities will be communicated to state agencies in the coming weeks.
“SNAP was created to provide people with the help they need to feed themselves and their families, but it was not intended to be a permanent lifestyle,” said Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. “As a former Governor, I know first-hand how important it is for states to be given flexibility to achieve the desired goal of self-sufficiency for people. We want to provide the nutrition people need, but we also want to help them transition from government programs, back to work, and into lives of independence.”
I want the USDA out of the welfare business.
SNAP!
“Oh, snap!” is what you said when you realized the link didn’t work.
But Trump tweeted stuff.
Heh, all of his tweets amount to “Squirrel!!!”.

“In patriarchal societies where hegemonic masculinity implies an imperative to eat meat, vegetarianism disrupts food culture, raising questions about how vegetarians do, re-do, and rework gender. Analyzing 23 interviews in La Plata, Argentina, I find that the narratives of conversion and social pushback reported by women and men expose gender enactment and social reinforcement of the binary. At times, vegetarians compensate by drawing on scripts of femininities and masculinities that uphold difference, e.g. women cook meat and reassure meat-eaters; men make rationality-based claims and demonstrate strength. Yet in other moments, vegetarians defy attempts to hold them accountable to gendered social expectations. Women, for example, assert authority over their diets; men embody rejection of the meat-masculinity nexus by adopting a worldview that also rejects sexism and racism. I contend that in such a context, we cannot separate the ways people ‘do vegetarianism’ from how they ‘do gender.’ Doing vegetarianism in interactions drives social change, contributing to the de-linking of meat from gender hegemony and revealing the resisting and reworking of gender in food spaces.”

There’s no scientific basis to that bullshit. I know that at least some anthropologists attribute eating meat to humans evolving such a large brain. So we may not be even having this conversation if not for hunting and cooking of meat. Also, what the fuck is this shit about vegans vs meat eater and masculinity? Do bulls turn into cows if they stop being vegetarians? That’s the stupidest fucking thing… ok, well one of the stupidest things I’ve heard in… I mean today.

“A Buffalo, New York, community has launched a gun exchange program for children to turn in their toy guns.”
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/12/05/program-encourages-kids-to-turn-in-toy-guns-dont-make-a-child-feel-comfortable-with-a-toy-gun
So, as a kid, my mom didn’t want me to have toy guns.
She put up with every stick, lego, or coathanger was used as a play gun.
She gave up when I chewed my toast into a gun and pretended to shoot my brother in the kitchen.
That was a crumby thing to do.
I had toy guns as a kid. There was never any controversy over that. All of my friends had toy guns. And then we all got bb guns and then real guns. Still no controversy. I don’t know a single person from back then who was ever killed by a toy gun or a real one.
I know, well knew, three who were killed by real guns. They were suicides, two normal and one by cop, I do have a friend with three bullet scars he got from screwing the wrong woman, he damn near died, don’t know if that counts for anything, just wanted to share.
My father taught my brother and I to shoot guns when we were 4 and 5 years old. I dont remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a gun. I started teaching my son gun safety and shooting when he was 4. By the time he was 12 he could out-shoot most grown men. I taught my grandson at the same age. Three more to go. I am also teaching them to fish and hunt and build campfires.
I guess these morons were never warned that no one in the history of the world wanted to make you helpless for your own good.

Bagged my first Montana deer this morning. Used a 2013 Dodge caravan. The Dodge lost most of its left front clip.
Guy at the collision shop took one look and said “Hit a deer. Huh? We’re getting a lot of those lately.”
While the first guy was adding up the damages a second guy walks out, takes a look and says “Hit a deer,huh? We’re getting a lot of those lately.”
Yikes! Hope you’re OK.
Shit, man. I feel like you’ll be saying that for a while though.
You think the collision shop raises deer or something?
My brothers girlfriend hit a deer on her last trip. she was driving back to school and hit one 2 hours south.
“ISN’T IT HUNTING SEASON HERE?! HOW ARE THEY EVERYWHERE?!”
The deer here are ubiquitous until hunting season, when suddenly they disappear, much to the consternation of the guy who hunts on our property.
Hunting season just ended -deer decided it was time to come out.
They do the same thing here. During hunting season they become nocturnal.
My neighbor runs a freakin deer sanctuary on his property – no hunting. Then he brags about the pair of 12-pointers hanging out there.
Hunting season makes it worse. Hunters scare the deer up and deer running out into the road is more frequent. Same for the rut.
My brother hit one a few years ago. 3000 bucks in damage.
*ducks*
3000 bucks chasing one doe. I guess rape culture really is a thing in the cervid community.
I wonder how many bleeding heart anti-hunter animal rights believers have been instantly converted by contact with a deer.
Until the fucking deer’s estate can cover their stupidity, I refuse to allow them rights or any sense of agency. Glad you’re alright!
Someone told me… ok, guess was my brother-in-law who lives there and is a hunter, that the deer there taste like pine. I don’t know never ate one from there. He sent me a big bag of moose jerky and that was wonderful, didn’t taste like pine.
Around here, you can’t really do much with venison as whole cuts. They feed so heavily on douglas fir and what I suspect is laurel that the meat’s really unappealing. These buggers fill a similar ecological niche to rodents.
Well cooked, smoked or unsmoked, it’s good eating. Venison curry, shepherds pie – just need to make sure you add some kind of fat in the recipe
In Indiana I would let deer hunters hunt on my land and in turn, they’d give me some meat. It was wonderful, but they mostly eat corn there. Or your garden if you don’t keep it fenced.
Oh, they just hop right over. The moose eating up the frozen cabbage I failed to harvest ten feet away from my window was pretty cool. *Crunch Crunch Crunch*
I can’t easily type the sound of a crossbow being fired, but I should be able to hear a crossbow being fired.
It is pretty common here to mix venison with pork and made into sausage. Also, the deer here feed primarily on acorns in the fall and they taste pretty good. Same for the hogs. The hog trails on my land go from Cow Oak to Cow Oak.
I can see those fuckers a mile away with one eye closed, in the dark with my headlights off. That comes from about 15 years of driving in Indiana where you could expect one on the road about 3x every mile, or 30 of them on the road.
That sucks. I’ve been lucky in that I’ve only hit them with trucks and they went under rather than being tossed in the air. Buck Doe and the Roadkill perform their new pop sensation,”I’m Stepping Out!”
Only one hurt was the deer. I’m missing a couple heartbeats though. It’s amazing how they just seem to appear out of nowhere.
Couple of weeks ago my son was passing a dualie pulling a big stock trailer when it hit an elk. The elk exploded showering his car with elk blood and Gore. He finished cleaning up the mess in front of our house – the local crows loved it.
Thanks spell check for capitalizing “Gore”.
I had a co-worker whose husband once hit the deer on the interstate. Cop let him take the dead deer to his uncle’s who was a big hunter. After about an hour he called her, telling her she wasn’t going to believe it (she could hear his uncle laughing hysterically in the background). When he got near his uncle’s place, while carrying the deer he hit earlier in the day, he hit another deer.
Truck was totaled.
Sorry. I hope you’re OK.
Bummer. I’m pleased you killed one of the vermin at least. I refer to them as forest goats these days. We’re covered up in them and tick season is horrible.

Anyone tried doing the online foam mattress thing? I’m thinking about about ditching my old queen for a full when I move.
Me too. My back is telling me to buy a new mattress.
It’s not something I’ve ever thought about until I realized I have no idea how old this mattress is. I bought it three years ago for sixty bucks from some irascible old man who harangued me about the previous potential who couldn’t make up her mind whether to buy it. Sounded like a transplant from Queens or whatever. Kept saying “GET the fuck… ” So now that I’m moving into a studio I want something smaller and new.
Yeah, my back has been killing me. New mattress first of the year for sure. Actually need a whole new bed.
Put a piece of plywood under your current mattress.

I haven’t, but I found this article interesting:

Yup. We bought a queen from Sam’s Club for $210 all-in.
(Night Therapy Memory Foam 8 Inch Pressure Relief Queen Mattress)
It’s in our guest bedroom. We’ve had 6 or 7 sets of visitors use that mattress, and everybody seems to have something good to say about it. My only concern would be longevity, which isn’t an issue for a guest mattress.
Yep – we made the switch to foam about 5 years ago. My budding back problem at the time cleared up within days.
here. it’s the best.
Neat. I will check this out.
I might still have a discount laying around from mine. i’ll look for it, but I’m sure it’s available online somewhere.
$995 holy hell. It better be the best damn night of sleep in my life.
I got mine with 150 off, which wasn’t terrible. They run sales pretty regularly, too. I had a foam one I got off amazon before it, but it was just a bunch of the same foam. not bad, but it got worn down a little too quick.
I think I spent around 250 or 300 on my current mattress about 10 years ago – it’s just not something I ever considered ‘splurging’ on. And I have almost never had a good night’s sleep on it.
Cheap mattresses are fine when you are young (and single).
Well, I am one of those things.

this reminds me … when i was in college, we needed to furnish our off-campus crib, and so we puttered down to the Goodwill on the black side of the Cumberland river, which we were told was a goldmine for nearly-free furniture
(*only later did i realize: probably because of eviction/foreclosures)
we went in there w/ 3 trucks and got everything we needed in like 1 day. Lots of the stuff was crazy funky fancy stuff… like this giant, 13ft long cornered-couch with mirrored surfaces, and a paisley pattern. We learned: it came from a strip club. “Don’t worry! everything has been steam cleaned!”
anyway, i bought a king sized mattress that was still in plastic for like $100. I slept on it for 3 years. It was the bomb. you could roll over 3 times in both directions w/o falling off.
it wouldn’t have fit in any the apartments i lived in NYC.
Living in a state with bedbugs ruins everything.
It’s not much but libertarian podcaster jason stapleton has $50 off through his sponsors links
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind, or wait for a sale, etc.
Go to the doctor instead.
If you’re still checking this, we got that Casper bed a couple years ago. Too firm for my wife and I, though it seemed like a nice enough mattress.
Nice intro Swiss. You don’t want to know how much the the circuit cards I needed on my last ship cost – limited production runs, etc. Of course, never any in stock – or having to call around to different warehouses to see if you could get one before shipping out. Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) is “convenient” sometimes when it comes to cost/availability – but not when they’ve been discontinued commercially and you’re still using it years later – never mind the security risks. MILSPEC is normally built to spec and will last (and priced to match)- but still limited numbers and when they’re gone…..
No win situation.
Holy christ, I get away from work – where there was extensive discussion of LIN consolidation to avoid configuration proliferation – and GAH, more talk about LINs here. Off to the whiskey!
Here’s a fun round-up of just how awful the FBI and Justice Department were/are, with a helpful takeaway:

I just read a piece by Dershowitz basically saying that Mueller getting Flynn to cop to lying suggests Mueller’s got bupkis.
http://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/362948-why-did-flynn-lie-and-why-did-mueller-charge-him-with-lying
Seems like a good point to me.
If you’re best move is to make your star witness plead guilty to lying, then you must not have any better options; otherwise, a prosecutor wouldn’t damage the credibility of his star witness by forcing him to plead guilty to lying.
How can having plead guilty to lying to the FBI not speak to the witnesses’ credibility?
Heard on the news tonight:
“The ocean is a natural fire break”
Good thing Cleveland isn’t on the ocean or that might not be the case.
We probably need a government study on that anyway
Amazing insight.
Wait…which ocean?
Depends on which way the wind is blowing.
Don’t ask me, I’m not a hot half asian weather girl.
If you were a hot half Asian weather girl we’d have demanded pics a long time ago.

I got a 404 error from your link. But this must be her
’tis
There are only two genders, change my mind
I like this series.
Case study in why I hate the media:
We have some very big fires here right now. Over 70 square miles in less than 24 hours. We even have a Glib packed up and prepared to evacuate right now.
Here are some other facts: ZERO DEATHS. Only 150 structures lost. And structures means structures, not residences. A lot of those are going to be stables and shitters.
So the national news tonight? There aren’t enough places for the displaced horses to sleep.
Holy shit, first world problems are amazing.
That really sucks. Stay safe.
Can you say which Glib? Regardless, my best thoughts/wishes/prayers go out to everyone affected.
Mad Scientist. He’s well prepared, and the winds are in his favor. Lost power last night, got it back, a lot of close calls, etc etc.
I saw something about a Hospital in Ventura going up. But that’s too local.

Yeah, VDM got torched late last night/early this morning.
I don’t know the history of the building, but it’s a little odd to me. That shouldn’t happen to a steel and concrete structure that ostensibly has sprinkler protection, and also has a parking lot buffer from “nature”. In theory, I should be able to hold a blow torch to the side of the structure for hours and hours. I’m curious to find out what happened,
Overheard the first 10 minutes of The Daily Show tonight. Noah spent the entire period slamming Moore after hand waiving away Conyers, almost literally saying this was evidence of how much better Democrats and their voters are then those deplorable right wingers. Hadn’t seen the show in years and was pretty shocked at how blatant they are about being Dem cheerleaders now.
So how’s this for a conspiracy theory? (Not saying I believe but as far as conspiracies go it’s not half bad.) Peter Strzok, doesn’t exist, but he is a convenient scapegoat for the the last 2 years of FBI fuckups.
1.) Apparently Peter Strzok has absolutely zero internet foot print. It’s somewhat understandable that an LEO wouldn’t post “Hey, MS-13, here are my kids, please kidnap them on facebook,” But he doesn’t show up on Lexus/Nexus either.
2) Obama officials have been known to use aliases to hide their identities behind fake names.
So now we have Peter Stroke who was responsible for all the notable mistakes in the FBI for the past two years. How long do you think the FBI is going to stretch out the investigation of a guy that Moe Syzlak would have busted?
Plausible, but I think that interest is so high in this, that Comey and Mueller will get hauled over the coals and won’t be able to stonewall. Up until now, the FBI’s contempt for the ‘requests’ of the Congressional Committee has gone unpunished, but I think that’ll need to change very quickly.
Hillary, Conyers etc have been willingly thrown to the wolves. I can’t imagine that the likes of Comey won’t. Even the newspapers are starting to report this.
There are some services available to law enforcement that scrub your entire internet footprint. The free ones just scrub search engines. If you want to hide property titles, it’s not free.
A guy that high up shouldn’t have a footprint. If he does, he’s an idiot.
he was also deputy head of the counter-intelligence department.
that said, you should still be able to find records of his name w/ FBI in prior years
If you can find the FBI search engine, please let me know. I have some questions about women’s underwear.
i meant re: the point about lexus/nexus previously. if you have a career as a govt lawyer (even for fbi), your name will appear in records. you can’t really “scrub” entire govt document archives via the ‘internet sanitizing’ services you mentioned.
im not trying to give the notion that “he doesn’t really exist’” any more credibility, i’m just suggesting people are probably jumping to conclusions because they aren’t actually reporters/researchers and don’t know how to look shit up properly.
