Kids and Grown-Ups Love It So
Let’s take a moment a consider Haribo Milky Mushroom treats.
What the fuck is going on here? Milky mushrooms? Have you ever had a mushroom whose taste you would describe as “milky?” Are they made from milked mushrooms? What sort of milk do mushrooms produce and is it an appropriate flavor for candy?
Now, there is a type of mushrooms called “milky mushrooms” but they are a pure, snowy white, not the swirling cream and pink madness you see here. And I doubt the candy tastes anything remotely like them.
And let’s be honest: those discs don’t even look like candy mushrooms. That is a plastic tub of severed nipples. Excited, severed nipples, erect for eating. And pink young nipples at that, not the tough, brown, chewy nipples of a mature woman who has breastfed. I’m surprised there isn’t cherry-flavored red dipping sauce congealing in the bottom of the tub.
And yes, we eat gummy frogs and sharks and worms, but shouldn’t we draw the line at some fucked up Ed Gein shit like gummy nipples or, at least, not market them to children? They sell these nightmarish things on Amazon. They will ship them to your home.
Hey, Haribo, you sick German fucks, Gein kept a bowl of salt-cured labias on his bedside table for late-night snacking. Am I giving you ideas?
Ed Gein also had a belt made out of nipples. Coincidence, Haribo? Are we really supposed to believe that?
If this is the most offensive thing you can find on Amazon, you are a sheltered child.
I had a good laugh on a day when I REALLY needed a good laugh. Thanks SF
Also, I think they look like a rolled up condom with a reservoir tip.
I see that now. And now I can’t stop seeing it.
This our “vase or two faces”.
I thought it was a duck or a rabbit?
Must be a regional thing… time to start a culture war!
I’ve always been partial to the lady or skull picture.
~~~magic fairy edit~~~
I like.
What do you see?
There is only one correct answer.
Go raibh maith agat, sióga!
I was wrong. I thought it was two gorillas high fiving.
But is the dress blue or white?
All I know is that there are definitely four lights.
I see four lights.
John, you have to love that Obsidian put in an NPC in the DLC named Two-Bears-High-Fiving.
I’d eat ’em. I love all those gummi candies, especially with the sour flavor/powder.
There’s an excellent candy store around the corner from my house. He carries a ton of sugar free stuff, too.
There’s a great one in Wilton Manors that I go to sometimes. It’s right by the world’s greatest grilled cheese place and the Rock Hard Lovers Boutique.
I haven’t yet seen any cross-promotional items between the candy store and the Rock Hard Lovers Boutique. If I do, I’ll let SugarFree know.
I think a Splorch Pez Dispenser would sell nicely.
It should dispense Cadbury cream eggs, not Pez.
Good catch.
They’ve also come out with a Squick Ovipositor.
And that is for kinder eggs.
Kinder eggs with even more tadpole-dildos inside.
If either of these dispensed Cadbury eggs, you’d never see me without one.
*googles “remove items from amazon history”*
Have you tried “Twin Snakes?” One sweet and one sour snake connected to each other. Pretty good
Haribo Tropifrutti is of the gods.
It’s in the nabe, Rhywun. 5th ave between 79th and 80th.
I’ve been to Economy Candy in LES. Just the smell of the place spiked my blood sugar. (I was there to smuggle Kinder Eggs back to KY.)
You in BR? I’m sure we’ve had this conversation before.
Anyway I see them here and there, and then they disappear. Ate them all the time in Germany.
Yes BR
I’m also in your bedroom…don’t worry, I’ll be gone before you get home.
Don’t get a boy worked up like that.
Too late! Binding contract!
Time to draw down on that giant barrel of lube.
You must be referring to this place? I wasn’t aware of it. Will check it out.
Thats it
Heh. First NYC Glibby’s meetup at Max Brenner’s down by Herald Sq.!
BYOB.
Gawd that place is nuts.
… and your point is?
Nuts in a good way.
I gotta schlep to Manhattan now? Oy vey!
I must confess my racism. I assumed this would be a Japanese candy. Which way to the stockades?
Here’s a weird Japanese candy for you.
That’s what I’m use to.
*satisfied shiver*
Toirekyandi! トイレキャンディー
Dammit.
“That is a plastic tub of severed nipples…”
[finishes vomiting, looks up at that paragraph, vomits again]
How do you do that, Sug? My most fevered scribblings don’t even come close.
I just calls ’em likes I sees ’em.
He sees things that Man Was Not Meant To See.
Thank you, I was trying to lose weight, now with my total appetite loss that will be easier.
It’s funny… I look at the picture, read the article, look at the picture again, shrug, and go back to eating my pickled pigs feet. You guys have some weak stomachs.
Are you going to eat all those chitterlings?
With some rocky mountain oysters.
Reminded me of fried liver.
More like miniature peach and punk sombreros.
If you are into pictures of disgusting comestibles, I give you James Lileks’ Gallery of Regrettable Food
Pink, not punk.
“fisting the pelt forward”
Yep. That right there is Nutrasweet worthy.

You gotta love stuff like this.
Mental Floss published the “George Costanza Candy Quiz” where the goal was to identify 10 different unwrapped candy bars. I was introduced to it by a diabetic who could zip through with a 100% score in 20 seconds. I asked how and he told me that you value what you can rarely have.
I tried to link to the quiz but it appears Mental Floss has removed it.
Yeah, that’s kind of how it works. It don’t each much candy, so when I do I’m very picky.
I wish they still had the quiz.
It would be ironic AF if you had a raging sweet tooth.
I’m pretty bad actually. I have to be very careful what I have around the house.
So, we were living in OK and my wife was on dialysis, and pay off that means limiting your liquid intake, severely. OK in the summer can be… warm, and the poor thing would get thirsty and get dry mouth, so the doctor prescribed sugar Free jolly ranchers.
Man, she must of gone through two big bags a week.
They were all Twix! It was a setup!
But the tricky part is right or left…
I love that site. My favorite is the party weiner casserole.
I like it too but strangely under ‘ I don’t visit enough’.
Years ago, I bought the book versions, for the coffee table. I had a house party and I haven’t seen the books since.
I need a far better grade of house guest ….
I saw little sombreros too. It was only after SF said nipples that I saw a bucket of nipples. And then I wanted to try one. Then I read about the belt. And now I want a nipple belt. I thought about it, and such a belt should have a vagina belt buckle. (Disclaimer: Not a real one made of flesh harvested from actual people.)
Hola Toledo! We are Punk Sombreros and we are here to rock you!
The old gummy sharks are the best. They changed at some point, and became just ok.
Maybe you changed.
The prophecy is true
I’m disappointed your link wasn’t to this.
I propose a new facebook game: Candy Squish. If you don’t clear out the rows in time, a the image of someone vomiting appears.
You could pick a random senior female democratic politician and show her face, it would have basically the same effect.
Those things look dangerous. How are those legal? They could make kids eat the bad kind of mushrooms.
Milky shrooms are a gateway drug.
No doubt.
The internet indicates they are made for the British market. Those people are so depraved we fought two wars to get away from them.
Funny thing is that death cap is pretty common in the UK. I dunno how cossetted shorties are over there now, but in the 60’s and 70’s, we’d lose a couple to death cap every year.
A very painful death apparently, taking up to 10 days with no antidote.
The death cap is a shroom that is very easy to identity. I used to hunt lots of different types of mushrooms to eat. Anyone who goes out in the woods to collect mushrooms for eating and are not well versed in identifying mushrooms is retarded and probably would have walked out in front of a car or something equally stupid eventually, anyway. Darwin’s law.
I’m a city kid and I remember being told about dangerous mushrooms out in the wild. I steered way clear of all of them.
Many of them are not actually fatal.
Fly Agaric is “deadly poisonous” – except it isn’t – but it does give some really wild trips.
According to a friend.
Also I hated mushrooms until my 30s. The idea of consuming them as food was madness to me.
Amanita muscaria, which is uniquely easy to identify, is a hallucinogen. Although, I’ve never heard of anyone actually eating one.
*ahem* … me neither.
Well, you can tell us if you ate one, it’s not like the fuzz are coming to get you over it. I’ve seen lots of them, but was never tempted to try one of them because seriously, I always thought of them as toxic although I knew all about their potential ‘trippy’ properties.
Bit of both. Fly agaric contains ibotenic acid, which is a neurotoxin. However, the body metabolizes it into muscimol, which is a psychedelic. To many to quickly and you’ll end up paralyzed and suffocating to death, get the dose right and you’ll trip like agile cyborg. Problem is the amount of ibotenic acid varies from mushroom to mushroom and season to season, so proper dosage is a bitch.
The worst mushroom is the destroying angel. It contains amatoxin, which prevents cell mitosis. It generally binds to the liver and kidneys and preventing them from creating new cells, so the organs fail over a period of days as the old cells die and aren’t replaced. You’ll feel like crap as the toxin takes affect over the first few hours, but then you’ll feel perfectly fine for the next few days. Then you descend into hell with simultaneous heptatic and renal failure. If it isn’t treated in the first few hours it is inevitably fatal, as once the amatoxin binds to the cells there is no way to remove it. The destroying angel also looks like a lot of edible mushrooms and is very easy to misidentify.
I was given some.
Hallucinogenic properties – primarily affecting vision – distorting size and distance rather than color etc. For those not easily disgusted, your body doesn’t metabolize the active compounds, they’re passed out largely unchanged in the urine – which was a way that shamen all across Asia used to store it, apparently.
LD50 is allegedly to be about 8oz or so. Interesting effects, not worth repeating.
The upside is you know EXACTLY what you’re consuming, because nothing else looks like them.
Yeah, to someone who has no idea what they’re looking at. I looked at some photos of them just now describing them as being misidentified as puffballs. Those don’t look a damn thing like a puffball and anyone who would make that mistake shouldn’t be out hunting shrooms. Our rule, and I learned from guys with years, decades of experience, is that if you aren’t sure, leave it.
Oh, absolutely, like I said, they’re unique. I still remember the first time I saw one, they’re quite the sight.
You know, just while on the topic. In all of the years that I hunted shrooms, I never saw a Psil-ocy-bin shroom, even once, and I knew what they looked like. I’m not sure if they grown wild in USA at all.
And not trying to go overboard here, but this is one of the prizes we looked for. You get these very fresh, they are amazing cooked the right way. We called them Hen of the Woods.
Hen of the Woods
I lived right on the edge of what’s left of Sherwood Forest, birch and mixed deciduous, with ancient and new stands of woodland. Very good foraging for people who know what they’re doing – I used to tag along with an old guy who must have known his stuff, ‘cos he was in his 80’s.
I used to find the morels very difficult to differentiate, and some of those are at the very least – inedible, and I don’t think there are any puffballs I’d want to eat – some of them *are* considered edible, but I was never a fan. You could guarantee a great crop of oyster mushrooms year-round, plus a good selection of other very edible species, so there was no incentive to take a chance on a guess.
I’ll excuse myself on the basis of age when it comes to death cap – Caput Lupinum’s right – was confusing Death Cap with Destroying Angel. That’s the one that used to come with an annual butchers’ bill. Learning how to avoid Amanitas in general is a very good starting point.
No “Hen of the Woods” In the UK at least – we used to keep an eye out for Honey Fungus – looks like it’s used the same kind of way.
When it comes to psilocybin, back in the early 80’s the laws in the UK were pretty confused. It was permissible to consume them and posess them, harvested, as long as they hadn’t been “processed” in any way. So you could get down with your nose in the cow pies and graze them off the ground with a bunch of policemen standing around, but if you put them in a freezer bag and put it in the freezer, you had “processed” it.
A friend (no really, not me this time) used to go and harvest the fields around Jodrell Bank’s Radio Telescope, out in Cheshire. One time ha came back with a bag of psilocybin the size of a small trashcan. He was just one of those guys who couldn’t resist a bargain, even a free one. I can’t remember if he actually attended any further classes that year.
Wow, that sounds like quite the habitat for hunting the fungus. Not sure how knowledgeable your old guy was. Some of the guys I hung out with were botanists and other guys highly knowledgeable about the taxonomy of mushrooms. It was a club. This was, at the start, before the intertoobz age, and they had some very detailed and beautifully illustrated books in the subject, which I was fascinated by and studied a lot.
My experience has been limited to the eastern USA. By eastern though, I mean eastward from Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky where I did most of my exploring, all the way to the coast.
Puffballs can be very good. Like most shrooms, you just have to get them fresh, the fresher the better. And if not that fresh, we left them. I’ve eaten a lot of puffballs. Although, the morels, which are very easy to distinguish when you have experience, and a few others were always the most sought after.
Oh, if any of us were to have found some ‘psillys’, they would have been taken. We never found any, but often spoke of it. Never tried one, but would most likely, if I just stumbled upon a bunch in the woods.
Psillys aren’t native to the eastern US. Some people say that they’ve spread our been cultivated out here, but given the illegality of them it is hard to say for certain. Anyone that swore they found some would never share the location, either to cover their ass or hide their bullshit. I doubt that if they are in the eastern US, and if they are, they aren’t common. I know I’ve never found any in my wanderings of Pennsylvania, anyway.
Should have tried it in Florida. Back when I was a kid, there were still cow pastures in short reach, and Psilocybes were common. Of course, I’d never do that now…
On an unrelated note, I’m going to listen to some music now.
The Florida Panhandle is awash in them. We would walk the fields filling up multiple bread-bags per person. they are so common that the idea of paying for them is just silly to me. Although, we did try a strain at a smart shop in Amsterdam because I was so tickled to see a store devoted to selling nothing but strains of mushrooms OTC.
Just another bit of irony: I noticed SugarFree doesn’t SF his links at all anymore,,,
I have the power of… THE EDIT BUTTON.
I vote we hereby change the term to ‘Gilmored’ the link.
Seconded.
Lol. Looks like the motion carries!
It might send his Mom back onto the streets to look for strange. Hasn’t the poor dear been through enough anonymous dick?
What is “strange” exactly?
I already looked up Ed Gein, so i’ve used my “google SF references” quota for the day already.
What is “strange” exactly?
Ask your mom
She can’t talk with all those dirty men on top of her
Strange is a slang term for casual random sexual relations, short for stranger dick or stranger pussy.
ta
Remember ‘Pantsed’ the link when Archduke Pantsfan used to always, not SF the link, but just link to the wrong URL?
Gilmore’d the link, dammit. How are we gonna make it stick if you don’t toe the line.
“tow the lion”, please. Sheesh, talk about the pot and the kettle.
What ever happened to Pantsfan?
I wonder about him, Gin, and Killaz.
I don’t know. He changed his posting name several times and then maybe disappeared. Or maybe he’s still among us with a different posting name? I don’t really know.
Pantsfan did?
You don’t remember that? He kept changing his posting name, but it was always to something that you would know it was him, I forget what. It was something ‘trousers’ once.
Immaculate Trousers is still around.
Really? You mean at TSTSNBN? I haven’t seen him in quite a while.
Different guy. Immaculate is a Caribbean Spanish speaker. Puerto Rico, I think.
Pantsfan was…. not. Might have even been Canadian.
Archduke Pantsfan, I’m almost sure, was Canadian.
Lots of names have gone by. Happened to look at a random TSTSNBN article from 2009 and jogged the memory of several that no longer post (or changed their names). Mike M in pre whatever the Obama version of TDS, actually calls him Obama!
On the same thought, what ever happened to AuH2O?
Goldwater is around. He changed his handle to some frenchy nonsense.
He’s busy with work. The next time we go out morning drinking, I’ll track him down.
We didn’t need to see a He-Man vinegar shot.
Every night SF annoys his neighbours by yelling, ‘By the power of Grey Skull!” every time he turns the lights off.
He Man will send your children to hell. I remember back then, my son, who was maybe 10 at the time, had a friend whose parents were ultra religious. Every time he was coming over to spend the night I would sort of dread it because they were coming to bring the kid. They would lecture about all the things he’s not allowed to do. He’s not allowed to play the dungeons and dragons games, he’s not allowed to play with Masters of the Universe toys, he’s not allowed to listen to any hard rock music, no movies except their approved list, argle blargle blargle. I felt like saying ‘and he’s not allowed to stay here’, but didn’t want to do that to my son.
Jesus. Rod and Todd.
Surely they won’t drone deliver those abominations? The horror!
Nope, they make the orphans do it. Make sure you count them after you get them. The little filchers have sticky fingers.
Set aside your Duke-o-phobia for a second and check this out
“Despite controversy, Charles Murray talk proceeds without conflict…
“…Duke took no chances. Student IDs and tickets were checked three times before the event. Private security guards lined the perimeter of the Doris Duke Center at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, in addition to the police stationed at the event. Approximately 50 people—mostly students—were in attendance. According to the event’s Facebook page, tickets were only available for the first 75 students or faculty….
“Murray seemed pleased that the talk had not been interrupted, saying that he had a “much better time tonight” than at Middlebury. However, there were four protesters across the street from Duke Gardens with vuvuzelas and air horns, though they could not be heard inside the Doris Duke Center during the talk.”
(According to Wikipedia, a vuvuzela is “a plastic horn, about 65 centimetres (2 ft) long, which produces a loud monotone note, typically around B♭ 3 (the B♭ below middle C)….The vuvuzela has been the subject of controversy when used by spectators at football matches. Its high sound pressure levels at close range can lead to permanent hearing loss for unprotected ears after exposure, with a sound level of 120 dB(A) (the threshold of pain) at 1 metre (3.3 ft) from the device opening.”)
“there were four protesters across the street from Duke Gardens with vuvuzelas and air horns”
I first read that as vulvazelas. I guess it’s some sort of power of suggestion thing. I mean, not sure why, surely people wearing pussy hats and tampon earrings couldn’t cause anyone to conjure up such an image.
Now you have me imagining them making that sound out of their cooters instead of the plastic horns.
And this of course.
If that’s not a link to the brown noise South Park episode, you picked the wrong link to post.
My preferred term during the 2010 World Cup – vulvahorn – didn’t stick.
You must not remember the 2010 World Cup if you didn’t know what a vuvuzela is. 🙂
I don’t watch soccer, I’m American.
(Yes I know that’s a silly statement if you use the broader definition of “American.”)
It’s a silly statement if you mean United Statesian, anyway.
I watch both kinds of foozball. The real (American kind) and soccer.
I for one, definitely saw the 2010 World Cup. Required viewing in my house.
I know it’s just a little kid, but damn, this was funny.
LOL, I remember that!
Jawohl, that game was righteous.
That was truly awful.
Looks like one of Hillary’s Distraught Minions.
The World Cup has a huge following even years after the event. In summer of 2003 we were on a mission in Kirkuk and since this still the time of the “Coalition of the Willing” there were many nations still in the game. I told my troops to do the meeting and I would help pull security of the vehicles. Soon, like time memorial, we had a flock of kids around us and one boy around eight years old looks at me and says “American?” To put some doubt in any report he told friends and adults I pointed at my name tag and replied “No, Italiano.” The kid instantly goes, “Italiano! Ahh Baggio.” and swoops his hand over his head. This instantly breaks me up.
Here is a young Iraqi kid who wasn’t even born when Baggio blows a shoot out kick in the 1994 World Cup finals and as soon as he meets a presumed Italian he woofs some shit at him. I hope his life is better now as a young adult.
I am in Korea for work and tried a Wasabi KitKat bar yesterday. Those strange Japanese candies sometimes work. Think of a chocolate with pepper and crunchy.
I will give a pass to the toilet candy though.
Haribo sour grapefruit spaghetti is the bomb. However I have only been able to find it in Germany. When my kids were younger I was always asked to bring home that and blood orange soda home. (I would, after I filled my bags with my favorite biers.)
Pro tip: An aviator kit bag can carry two crates of bier and US customs never charged me a duty. It wasn’t because they “supported the troops” but because duty on beer is pennies per gallon and the paperwork was too much hassle for maybe a nickel of tax.
I have some Korean friends and have been invited to go there a couple of time. One day I’m going to take them up. They like to go camping and drink a lot while there. Their version of camping seems a little different than ours. They were bragging to me about how you can order anything you want on your cell phone, 24/7, anything, and get it delivered to anywhere.
This seems ripe for some sort of game show concept
If only you knew my Korean friends. Definitely, most definitely. Those guy are crazy.
“We’ve ordered rope, tape, and a bunch of tarps to this secluded swamp in the woods. let’s see what the delivery guy does.”
I dont eat sweets. I also pay no attention to rain.

There is a giant vibrating photo of Wilford Brimley with the text ‘diabeetus intensifies’ scrawled across it. I nearly pissed myself.
The only defense I saw was ‘industrialization increases greenhouse gas emission and sedentary lifestyle’ and a silly claim that cooler weather increases metabolic efficiency.

You know, it’s really no endorsement for Trump, but the comment ‘I still wake up thankful every day that she’s (Hillary) not our president’, I have to say, this rings so true. We dodged a huge bullet on that one.
indeed.
As crappy as Trumpcare is, or his trade attitude, or his immigrant Tuffgai signaling, etc….. the shit we’d be staring down in a Hillary-Dominated Future would be a freaking nightmare.
The thing that is encouraging is that, – like Brexit in the UK – there is likely some genuine near-term unpleasantness and chaos, but that out of that chaos will – hopefully – come some general change of direction that over the long term will be positive. And maybe even genuinely ‘good’ in a few areas.
Not “much better” overall, but at least “far less awful” than things could have been, and better than i would have guessed possible last year this time.
Maybe it has something to do with the government subsidizing/”protecting” foods such as sugar. wheat, and corn that leads to diabetes?
No, it’s Global Warming. Because all of South America and Africa gots diabeetus.
Everyone knows diabetes comes from the Government’s wonderful food pyramid.
US Officials: Info suggests Trump associates may have coordinated with Russians
Or to put it another way: We don’t have shit other than the hacked DNC emails, but will make headlines that appear something new has been found.
There are a lot of weasel words in that quoted sentence — “associates” – “suspected”, even “operatives” since that’s a scary word, “possibly”. So people maybe connected to Trump somewho might have maybe thought about coordinating with unidentified scary Russian people to tell the American people that CNN is a propaganda arm of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Or maybe Wikileaks got it from someone else and they posted it because Assange was sick of our shit. We don’t know, it’s a possibility.
Well, thanks CNN.
They really dont get it. They are just pissing people off and destroying their credibility by making endless vague, baseless accusations. Does anyone outside of true believers believe a goddamned word CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, NBC, CBS, James Comey, etc have to say? I heard this evening that these usual suspects either barely reported or didn’t report at all on the immigrant rapists of the HS girl in Maryland. Do they think no one knows about it? That it isnt obvious as hell what they are doing?
Keep it up left. Keep it up.
The Anderson Cooper interview is hilarious. As the one true athena points out, it’s pure speculation on some vague standard of “influencing” the election by “coordinating” with Trump “associates”. These type articles are why scare quotes were invented.
It’s getting to the point that people won’t care even if pics were found showing Trump and Putin in a compromising position together.
I’m getting to that point, and I was a NeverTrumper (voted Constitution Party).
I’d like to hear in plain, straight language what it is that Trump and his “associates ” did.
According to what msnbc just told me, someone that Trump knows said something to a Russian, who knows putin, in 2005 and ……………?
Wtf is the actual thing that was allegedly done, and what is the point?
So worst case scenario, trump, back in 2005, began a plan to have the Russians hack DNC emails in 2016, knowing that these emails would mock Democrat voters and result in the most qualified candidates ever losing to a guy who everyone said had no chance?
This is what warrants 24/7 coverage on every news channel?
They won – that’s what they did. Isn’t that terrible enough?
They stole the election and undermined democracy and are implementing fascism. duh.
Haribo makes “Fred Ferkel” which are little pink piggy faces that look like they’re made out of the same stuff. They taste mostly like cornstarch to me, kinda tasteless and yet still sweetened. The kid’s favorite are the Bear-Pairs which are gummi bears holding hands, one is sweet, one sour. Cost Plus started to carry them pretty regularly, as well as lots of other Haribo varieties.
Science march on Washington, billed as historic, plagued by organizational turmoil
The broader challenges scientists face are how to concoct the most potent propaganda pill.
It’s almost like they wanted to have yet another leftist march with no real notion of what it was about, but this time for the IFLS crowd.
pretty much.
and anyone who doesn’t turn their issue into something 100% about identity-politics? is anti-diversity and an enemy who must be destroyed.
the Identity Politics/SJW people feel their hands on the levers of power slipping, and they are going to claw the flesh off anyone who starts to suggest that maybe their role in broader American politics is overblown.
Freddie DeBoer commented on the ‘Science March’ thing and said this =
Damn. Didn’t we have the exact conversation here earlier this week? DeBoer must be reading the glibs.
DeBoer, for a committed socialist/leftist, has remarkably libertarianish instincts. In the sense that…. he manages to see through to the root of things very quickly, its just that he then applies the only intellectual-framework he knows, and then fucks it all up. But his snap-takes are usually pretty sharp.
You could say the same thing about Rush L. When he’s diagnosing what the Dems are up to, he can be spot on. When he’s supporting team red…ugh.
Diversity, equality, immigration policy(?). I see. But science cant explain magic which is a thing that happens, can they?
At some point I suppose actual scientists will walk away and leave these brainwashed idiots to destroy themselves. I hope there are some left.
In anti-intellectual email, Wellesley profs call engaging with controversial arguments an imposition on students
So it’s OK to restrict speakers (who were assaulted in this case, mind you) because it imposes on students by forcing them to debunk what is said?
Ah, so if the speaker doesn’t adhere to whatever standards of decorum they think is appropriate, then free speech can be denied.
Victim blaming and inventing reasons for an anti-free-speech platform doesn’t sound to me like the spirit of open inquiry a college should be providing.
Commission for Ethnicity, Race, and Equity What kind of sounds could you get from a committee with a name like that?
These kinds of sounds?

He’s not really confused about inflation. He’s just confused about what is being inflated.
Oh, he is confused. Ask him what inflation means and I bet a dollar he says ‘inflation is when prices go up’.
I think he is right. Facts are important.
Also, damn you for exposing us to that. I could feel my brain cells dying.
This is because gold has gotten 46 times goldier. Everybody knows this! Gold has been purified to an incredible degree using space-age technology.
owwwwwwwwww
And knowing is half the battle. Back in my day, cartoons were just 30 minute toy commercials with a 30 second bit at the end telling you not touch downed power lines in order to meet FCC standards. Now they’re teaching kids about the horrors of fiat currency.
Bryan Caplan is on The Rubin Report this week. Well worth the listen if you have time. The even touch on The Roadz!, min wage, rent control, private police etc.
Random question: Why is it that international sports competitions (World Baseball Classic, World Cup, Olympics, etc.) are the only thing that make me go all “USA! USA! USA!” patriotic?
Really? I call ball and strikes when I comes to athletes. If the guy is a douche, I don’t care what uniform he’s wearing. Unfortunately (or fortunately), that has resulted in making the NFL, NBA unwatchable. I did love watching the Vikes play when I was a kid. Now I love watching MMA precisely because I can choose the guy/gal to root for because they aren’t on a team.
Cuz’ it’s us against the world Baby. Us against the world. Your tribalism circuits kick in.
BRB, gonna go raid Scotland.

So after a terror ATTACK the answer is to flood the street with more cops getting paid double time. Maybe the killers will just wait until the beefed up security is called off? Maybe? Or maybe you can’t have cops in every single place all the time and you should allow people to defend themselves.
See, *thats’* a Gilmored link.
i think an sf’d is merely ‘dead’. Mine are righteous clusterfucks.
*sobs in corner*
Has Zardoz abandoned us?
too many dicks in this chatroom.
Today in Progville, we have a Dan Rather post being shared
There are so many weasel words in that CNN reporting. Info “suggests”. “Possible” coordination. “Suspected” operatives.
These fuckers are making me defend Orange Cheeto Man again and I hate that.
Also
DO WE NOT REMEMBER ACA? IT WAS ONLY 7 YEARS AGO PEOPLE.
People over politics, bruh. When the left does something, it’s not political. It’s, like, humanitarian.
I think the preferred phrase around these parts is Principals over Principles.
He’s right in that the seriousness is increasing. More and more seriosity will somehow make a more and more inane witch hunt less and less inane. I’m totally serious about this. It’s Pascal’s Wager, man. What if I’m right? Well, then you have Putin’s hand on the nuclear football. What if I’m wrong? No harm. You’ve just screwed up one man’s life. Therefore Trump must be removed. My logic is flawless. Next I’ll explain the seriosity of climate change, gun control and healthcare. Draw a box with a four by four square and put pantshitting in the top right. See, it makes the other boxes look ridiculous.
Editorialists are essentially just bad, uncreative (failed) screenwriters and prosodists.
This is just embarrassing. And pointless. Is this a ‘building suspense’ creative writing assignment? Fail.
Damn it, I miss AC from the other sight. He kept the late night threads lively. The vast majority of the time I had no idea WTF he was talking about, but for the 2/10’s of the time when I had some idea what he was talking about, I was all “Preach it brother.” It was like reading a Hermann Hesse novel. That is some very deep shit, I don’t have a clue what it means, but it’s fucking deep.
The fact that he didn’t come over here makes me kind of start to wonder if he was a writer for the old site. Like maybe the Jacket was just trolling us.
Like maybe the Jacket or the hair detached themselves from their host bodies, and drop some acid.
I’ve eaten all types of mushrooms and these look inedible. Morels or nothing!
