Glibs Staffer
You, our little community of rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists have been pretty supportive in our time of …upheaval. SP and OMWC fleeing the jurisdiction of…, er, moving to Arizona, and another crucial-to-our-efforts Glib lost a parent recently (please do not ask – if wanted, that Glib can discuss in due time).
So, our little playroom here has been a bit light on content (we do appreciate your offers of content, and gratefully receive submitted articles/posts) as our editing staff has been most rudely interrupted by life out in meatspace.
The Glibs that have not had the Devil fart in their faces recently are working to pick up the slack, so to say. This coming weekend and next week should see a bit more posted on these here pages.
Thank you for your kind understanding.
Yours aye,
The Staff of Glibertarians.com
Thanks for all the work to keep us informed, humored and out of trouble, other than in our home life.
^This #MeToo
Yep. *tips stetson*
A 2pm post has thrown off my internal chronometer…
*resets clock*
…fixed.
I would criticize your choice of time zones, but EST is God’s time, so nevermind. You just go lucky it is winter.
Aren’t you in BG? An hour in the past?
I lived most of my life in Louisville though. And I realized EST was God’s time while living in Atlanta.
EST is the time of SATAN. Everything is just…off by an hour.
EST==CDT for a majority of the year.
I realized that you may have an AST fetish. 1 hour off includes two directions.
Partly redeemed.
Show us on the clock where Werner Erhard touched you.
Two hours. Mountain is the One True Time Zone.
Mountains are closer to Heaven.
God lives in Heaven.
Mountain Time is closer to God.

Mountain is the Time Zone of freedom.
WOLVERINES!!
These guys get it.
? at the lot of you
Pah. No time zone where the time changes twice a year can be considered the One True Time Zone.
AZ time FTW!
I read BG as Bulgaria, or in Pie’s time zone (UTC+2).
I think y’all do an amazing job of keeping it coming. And while I love the content and look forward to more of it, there’s also a big value in the commentariat. The discussion and camaraderie helps fill the gap while all the upheaval is going on.
While I hate to use some of the terms in what I’m about to say, they are the most apt.
This built-in redundancy to cover for shortages in content was actually an in-built aspect of the community that migrated from TOS to here. The consensus was “we could provide worthwhile content ourselves”, and thusfar have managed. Except for my articles. I don’t know why they publish those.
Most of us read TOS for the comments anyway. Reading the articles has always been optional.
I’ve found them interesting. But I’m a man with some strange tastes as my own articles have demonstrated.
You are the only one reading them.
What, did you lose your reading gloves?
^ heh.
How dare you allow life to intrude on our Glibbing.
It’s not right, I tell ya. Not right.
GLIBBING INTENSIFIES
Dear Spudalicious,
We at Glibertarians.com value your input, and your continued patronage. We take your concerns quite seriously. This matter has been assigned to Mr. SMITH in our Customer Service Department. He will be calling to schedule a face-to-face appointment.
Very truly yours,
Glibertarians.com Staff
Face-to-Face
STEVE SMITH DONT DO FACE-TO-FACE….
BY FACE TO FACE, MEAN RAPE FACE.
Best sort of customer complaint service EVAH!
STEVE SMITH works in AT&T customer service?
Comcast.
From what I’ve heard from my U.S.-based family, that would be a significant upgrade for Comcast.
At least with comcast, I learned that they let their phone-support technical help handle customer service and account issues. I started calling complaining about slow line speeds, get connected with some IT nerd, flash a little geek cred, and ask them to fix my billing issues.
IF you told me that regular comcast phone support was trained by a face-raping Sasquatch, I would believe you.
STEVE SMITH GET INTO PREFERRED ORIFICE ANY WAY HE PLEASE
FACE TO BROWN EYE

Who’s the manager of the Customer Service center? ZARDOZ?
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN EMPLOYMENT QUESTIONING ONE. ZARDOZ IS TOO BUSY SERVING THE VORTEX. HOWEVER, THE TABERNACLE, IN ITS NIGH INFINITE COMPUTING POWER, HAS TAKEN THAT JOB ON ITSELF. ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
What ever lightness in content above the fold is more than made up for in the
sewercomment section. Appreciate all that TPTB do behind the scenes to make this place a home for maladjusted degenerates.Hear! Hear!
Appreciate the safe space, thank you Staff and Members.
And condolences to every Glib that needs it at this time.
I enjoy the content, but I also enjoy just shooting the shit with the Glibberati. I like to think I’m a pretty smart guy but almost every day I learn something new from the group. We’re lucky enough to have a really interesting group, among whom there is a very wide spectrum of knowledge from some very sharp people, on subjects that range from high culture and academia to practical how-to advice.
I’ll look forward to the content to come, but until then I’m glad we have the conversations we have. Hope the move isn’t as exasperating for OMWC and SP as my alst major move, and I hope whoever it is that lost their dad can find some peace in a difficult time.
Emphasis on spectrum.
Hey!
I should be offended by that remark instead of shaking my head in agreement.
Ditto.
I read it as speculum but you do you.
I hope you don’t include me in the smart set. It would hurt my anti-intellectual sensibilities.
No, we don’t. Elspeth is the smart one, you’re the comedy relief one.
::slinks off::
::slips on banana::
Pratfall!
Yeah, I kinda look at it like a support group for weirdos. The articles and links are like an added bonus, like a mint on the pillow, or when the bartender hands you a shot for no reason.
Harrumph! Harrumph!
Thank you for everyone’s hard work. This is still way better than anything else out there, even on days with less content.
Maybe linked already, but I got a good chuckle.

This jogger outright lied.
I wish I could write. I’ve tried, and I have a few things I could probably write about, but I’ve spent the past 15 years writing business contracts and SEC filings for a living. I’m used to dry, bland writing. I can’t make anything exciting.
Thanks to y’all for what you do.
Use bland, dry writing to describe horrible things. The juxtaposition makes those things worse.
I think he made it clear he is already doing that.
There are two things I’ve thought about writing about that I have enough knowledge to write about. The first is corporation law, specifically on corporate personhood. The other is on a history of the Attica rebellion, and the wholesale murder by the NY government involved there. I guess “terrible things written dry and blandly” would work with that second thing (it’d work for the first thing if my audience was AOC followers)? If anyone’s interested in those subjects, I’ll give it a try.
My other problem is my crippling anxiety disorder and abject fear that somehow my writing would cause me to be expelled/hated by y’all. Which probably doesn’t make sense. Fuck, even LH’s reply below, which I objectively know is joking, still gave me palpitations.
It’s really difficult for me to publish – whether it is an article or a novel. For the latter I make sure to never read the reviews because I take it too personally.
And yes, a history of Attica – even if it is dry – would be perfect. And there are plenty of good novels and non-fiction works that describe horrendous things in clinical detail. Anything other than that is sensationalism.
Like I tell developers that ask: if you are going to throw a knipshen because someone told you you should have done it differently in a code review, instead of trying to see if there was something you could learn from the critique to make your coding skillz madder, then the problem is you are missing the potential to grow.
I thought it was conniption.
But yes, a key element to improving is accepting criticism and feedback without getting overly emotional or defensive.
Shizz.. I is an ungeneer brah.
Oh I’m done growing /no euphemism
So how do you treat that special lady in your life to a good time? Is it all tongue skillz?
I’m a show-er not a grower?
I missed this novel-writing of yours. Linky?
And never reading reviews is good practice.
Come into our parlor, where we will love you unconditionally (right after the soap party)
DO IT!
The worst that could happen is that people will skip the article and go right to OT postings. Which happens most of the time anyway. So what are you worried about!

The key to being able to share your work with the public is to let yourself die inside. Once you are as dry and hollow as a birdhouse gourd, the rest is easy.
^^^THIS IS HOW HAT & HAIR HAPPEN^^^
The Hat and the Hair don’t occur until the gourd is refilled by the birds.
I’d be very interested in an Attica write-up. I know it happened, but know no details, so it would be great to have it all layed out.
Attica! Attica! Do it! Do it!
I’m cripplingly shy too, and I submitted an article here.
You’re putting me to sleep already. Or was that my special blend of drugs and spices?
Oregano and fentanyl?
Those are two of the Colonel’s 11 secret ingredients, yeah
I would LOVE an article on corporate personhood, especially drawing the similarities and contrasts to biological personhood. And of course, the rationale behind them.
I’m chock-full of great ideas but pen to paper is a wilted member.
There are pills that can help with that.
An old and well known condition.
I remembered what I was going to ask.
Business and literary opinion.
“Beyond the Edge of the Map” is effectively done and ready to go to market. The problem is it’s effectively book 2 of a loose series, and would spoil significant themes and reveals from “Prince of the North Tower”, which is stalled around 84k words. Do I sit on “Beyond the Edge of the Map” until I can release it after “North Tower”, or do I release it now and suffer from prequel syndrome when “North Tower” drops?
Are the two happening essentially at the same time and that’s why “Map” has spoilers for “Tower”? I follow a couple of series where they had a similar thing with there being 3 books that all happen roughly simultaneously and so there are spoilers, but they were published in order of being finished. The mild spoilers weren’t a big deal as the focus was on what was happening in the differing locations and sets of characters.
“Edge of the Map” is roughly 20-30 years after “North Tower”. The narrator of “North Tower” makes an appearance in the first scene of “Edge of the Map” and is referenced multiple times, spoiling the fact that he A: doesn’t become a wizard B: is heir to a substantive title of great import and C: succeeded in defeating the forces which saught to usurp that post.
You don’t need to know a darn thing about the events of “Prince of the North Tower” to read “Beyond the Edge of the Map”, but reading “Beyond the Edge of the Map” first weakens the story of “North Tower”.
And I just spoiled “Prince of the North Tower”
Good thing no one reads my comments.
Or articles. Or books.
😉
I’ll stop now.
Did somebody say something?
You could treat it like the Hobbit was treated by LOTRs movies. We know Billbo had all of these great adventures but we didn’t know what exactly they were. We know he didn’t die and got a great deal of swag along the way, but the Hobbit movie explained it.
Well now you can do whatever you want!
Publish something. I was tempted to pick up one of your books, but the super hero thing doesn’t really speak to me. At all.
Yes. If they’re intended to be read in that order.
We will make our own content! Like STEVE SMITH makes his own holes!
“What happened to him?!”
“He was rogered to death by a … blog post!”

It ain’t Trump himself but Progressive TDS infecting my wife has cockblocked me on more than one occasion
That sux.
One of my oldest and best friends has succumbed to TDS. I can hardly even talk to him anymore.
Most of my “riends er associates er people I know are knee-jerk liberals. I just try to change the subject once the Trump-HuR-De-DUrr comes out. But they can’t help themselves so some get-togethers are painful.
I usually say – “I don’t follow politics that much; too busy.” This after the one time I tried to quickly explain libertarianism to a bunch of my neighbors.
That’s a proven strategy. Depending on how well I know the people I’ll sometimes put a “I don’t really have time to worry about what the President Tweeted” spin on it.
I’m guessing it looked something like this…
https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/022/524/tumblr_o16n2kBlpX1ta3qyvo1_1280.jpg
Mme. Naptown is deep in the throes of TDS. It’s a thing, but now it’s mostly a topic of humor. I’ve made it pretty obvious when she bitches about Trump or death metal or my cat being a pain in the ass or my coming home a touch late from happy hour that I don’t even not care, and for some reason she can’t resist it. I suspect the minute I start bending the knee she’ll leave me.
The way to get them to stop being a pain in the ass for coming home late from Happy Hour is to just not have a social life for them to complain about. Course then they just complain about your coming home from work late
Or you just lazy it out like most of us do. “Yes, Dear” and forget what it meant to have meat-space friends. Pool league? What the fuck is that? Men’s Night? Never heard of it!
Meat Space Friends are a myth.
This here site and it’s accompanying discord server is literally 100% of my social life
My wife has been deep in the throes of TDS since he was elected.
On the other hand, she’s thoroughly pissed off at the Democrat establishment, can’t understand why Kamala Harris is their “it” girl, and is pretty sure they’re going to stupid their way into Trump’s re-election next year.
My wife’s gone the other way, from apathetic about Trump before the election to a vociferous Trump supporter now.
My brother got all sandy when I laughed about the Trump win. Called me a nazi and hung up on me. Haven’t talked to him since and I’d wager that he doesn’t even know that our Dad died.
Day-um…
Thank you for your kind understanding.
You guys are too good to us, as it is.
You provide a truly valuable and appreciated service.
I finally got a new PC at work which was installed with – gah! – Windows 10. And of course all of the auto-filled ‘net passwords have been wiped; and getting this OS into some semblance of working order including installing all of the software tools I used. Argh!
I fixed the Windows 10 install on my laptop by installing this. Erased most of the problems and left only some tinkering around the edges.
*May not fork for all environments. Your milage may vary. Consult your sysadmin before use.
Only our sysadmin runs Linux. The rest of us are stuck with the OS that was given to us by the PC support department. I don’t mind Windows 10 too much since I spend most of my work time on servers or clients. W10 is just overcooked.
Overcooked is a really good way to put it. The UI is a step backwards. I actually thought Windows 8 was pretty good, and then they had to get all excited about tablets or something and decide everything needed to be “flat” and an app.
Our IT staff gets angry when we do anything but grovel and genuflect. I have to submit a fucking support ticket to add a team to Microsoft Teams for fuck’s sake! If I pick up my computer in a way that is not perfectly balanced, the graphics card flips out.
We’re a Fortune 500 tech company and we have these issues. Mint would result in apoplectic emails to my boss’ boss’ boss in the c-suite about security vulnerabilities in the legal department.
I think my work life is a perfect negative image of yours. Trippy. You don’t have a goatee, do you? I’m pretty sure I’m the evil one, but I need to make sure.
Our IT staff gets angry when we do anything but grovel and genuflect.
Sounds like they are anxious and unsure of their place in the corporate structure. I suggest crating them at night. IT staff crave a small, tight wire-bound space to call all their own. And they will be better about going to the bathroom in the morning when you let them out after controlling their bladders and bowels all night.
Sounds like they are anxious and unsure of their place in the corporate structure.
To be fair, we outsourced them, so they’re technically no longer in the corporate structure.
/barf
A raid is the only solution in that case. Go to their office, do your job poorly and dare them to complain as they struggle out from under the writhing mass of your bodies.
Zerg rush?
My first ever time playing starcraft, I may have initiated an overlord rush on my opponent. Needless to say, it ended poorly for me.
No we don’t. We prefer a dark, cold environment, with just the whirring of fans and A/C to keep us company.
A condition of the grant I work under is that we are the sole administrators of our development machines. It’s all web development, so it’s not like we’re dealing with the launch codes or anything, but Fed IT is part of the infrastructure so they try to influence as much upstream as they can in terms of security. It has led to some really bizarre decisions about deployment and hosting. Most of our interactions are…maybe not hostile, but certainly adversarial. Every few months it escalates until there’s a meeting where my manager makes a comment along the lines of “We could replace the four contractors they hire at, what, $85k a year, with a $35/month VPS on MediaTemple that would do everything we need and be more responsive on technical issues.” And then we hug it out and agree not to do anything for a week or two, then start over again.
That’s the next few months of my life. Work is rolling out windows 10 throughout the firm, but they don’t want to piss off the partners with things not working, so the next few months will be setting up applications, testing them, making changes to the image, wiping the laptop, repeat. All of my stuff will work fine since it’s all cloud based, but I’m still in app dev so I’m roped into testing applications I never use, while getting my own work done. I’m not looking forward to it.
7 really hit the sweet spot for me.
ewwwww /teenage girl
Same. Still on 7. Not gonna change until forced. In 10 years.
Yeah, my Win7 install on my tower will be there until it dies.
I did the Firefox sync thing when I had to upgrade my work pc. It saved a lot of headaches for ‘net passwords and bookmarks.
Thankfully, most of my work is remote access to machines. So as long as remote desktop works, I’m generally good.
Our IT is rolling out Windows 10 to various users in a haphazard manner. One morning you’ll come in and BLAM windows 10 is there waiting for you . They decided to set MS Edge as the default pdf viewer but it has Adobe viewer installed, so strange.
As a bonus any specialty software needs to be requested to be installed after you come in on that special morning.
The Edge viewer has been hot garbage most of the time I’ve needed to deal with it.
It can’t even print to 11X17 paper size!
My next PC at work will be Windows 10. I am still on 7.
I was eligible for a new PC last October, havent requested it yet.

So there’s a video of one of the two guys arrested in the Jussie Smollett fiasco walking on his hands on a treadmill in the gym in Smollett’s building. A)I’ve never seen anyone do that before. B)Since he doesn’t live in the building, that would seem to suggest that he might be a pal of Smollett’s, no?
One of the Nigerian brothers the police are talking to worked as an extra on Empire.
So, your ultimate winning parlay is a.) the event was staged, b.) Smollett wrote and mailed the threatening letter, and c.) Smollett took that video.
Meanwhile, it’s a little depressing to see that and know there is no universe, neither this nor any alternate, where I am able to do a walking handstand on a treadmill. None.
I had a buddy that could walk up and down stairs on his hands. He won many a bar bet.
https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-colin-kaepernick-withdraws-collusion-case-nfl-190149703.html
In a stunning decision, quarterback Colin Kaepernick and safety Eric Reid have reached a financial settlement with the NFL in their joint collusion complaint against the league and will take no further action in the case. While sources declined to offer specifics for the decision, Yahoo Sports was told on prior occasions that Kaepernick and Reid would only settle the complaint if a lucrative financial agreement was reached between the players and the NFL.
The league and Kaepernick’s attorneys released a statement Friday saying the matter had been resolved confidentially. As part of that confidentiality, it is believed both sides signed a non-disclosure agreement agreeing not to speak publicly about details of the case or settlement.
He got paid and gets to stay relatively healthy. What a great country.
I think he may already have brain damage though.

I started to type that he gets to keep his brain, but we just don’t know. His legs are not broken at least.

“This is the best Valentine’s Day present ever,” says one woman in the crowd. Volunteers hand out chocolate kisses. It is February 14 and you can feel the love. Activists fall into one another’s arms, bestowing congratulations. Many are women. Most are young people of color. The faces here tonight contradict the media’s claim that the Amazon opposition is mostly made up of white, upper-class NIMBYs. As the crowd grows in number, Fahd Ahmed, an immigrant from Pakistan and a grassroots organizer, starts off the speeches. “We just beat the richest man in the world,” he shouts. The crowd cheers. They are jubilant and they should be. Together they helped bring down a Goliath that few imagined would fall. As Ahmed says, “It is a turning of the tide.”
Since the 1970s, the tide in New York City has moved in one direction—rising to lift the fortunes and freedoms of the rich while ushering in hyper-gentrification and displacement for the working class. Leveraging the fiscal crisis of the time, New York’s leaders abruptly turned away from the city’s burgeoning social democracy toward the radical capitalist ideology of neoliberalism, a model of governance that focuses on privatization, deregulation, fiscal austerity, small government, and trickle-down economics. New York was reorganized into a competitive city, fighting a Darwinian battle with other cities around the globe for world-class businesses, mega-developments, and tourist dollars.
Fucking neoliberals, and their radical capitalist fetish for property rights and contracts nd freedom of association…
Since when is that neoliberalism? Oh, never mind, it’s The Atlantic.
Let’s return to 1970s NYC! What could go wrong?
Moar Debbie Harry? And rats?
I’d be fine with letting morons like these run themselves into the ground. The only problem is that they want to take me with them. If they were in charge it’d be an unmitigated disaster.
“Since the 1970s, the tide in New York City has moved in one direction—rising to lift the fortunes and freedoms of the rich while ushering in hyper-gentrification and displacement for the working class”
Yeah, it was so much better when the idea of building a wall around it and turning it into the world’s largest prison seemed almost realistic.
At Diversity Plaza, the speeches end with a chant of “We are the revolution!” and people are leaping with fists in the air. A mariachi band begins to play. A man blows bubbles overhead and people dance on the snow-wet pavement. The defeat of Amazon has ignited a sense of possibility, and it seems as if everyone is talking about a major shift in the collective consciousness of the city. Under a lamppost, in the phosphorescent glow of a Bangladeshi buffet, I talk with Ahmed. As the executive director of Desis Rising Up and Moving, he helped organize tonight’s event. “This is a loss for the neoliberal approach to the city’s physical and economic development,” he tells me. “Politicians have felt the change in the wind.”
Huh.
Ugh, I’m no fan of corporate tax breaks. Too much cronyism and pay to play. Just make your area a good place to do business. But this is just pig ignorant.

My brother and I are the kind of white that The Jacket likes to remind everyone wasn’t white 100 years ago. Anyway, my brother spent the summer mowing lawns at a country club. By about July, all the Mexican lawnkeepers started talking to him in Spanish. He doesn’t speak a word of it.
I appreciate that this place is here and populated with smart, interesting, philosophically minded people. I have met OMWC, SP, and Libertesian (who needs to come out of lurkdom) IRL, and we have had a fabulous time.

You can skip the Sin City 2 or whatever it is called.
No. I was in my movie-devouring phase in the 90s. By 2005 (when Sin City came out), I had 2 babies and a husband who worked nights.
It’s a great movie
Yeah. What he didn’t do was make a popular manga series. Which is what the quoted section states, unintentionally.
I have no idea if Battle Angel is going to be any good (I’m guessing not,) but I could see it going either way.
I think they made a terrible error, based on the trailer.
Yes, the trope in manga is that the characters have huge eyes. Trying match that trope with CGI in a live-action movie is fucking bizarre and distracting and creepy. And completely unnecessary.
Esp. if you have wypipo as actors, since isn’t part of the whole style a bit of Nip racism caricaturing funny looking gaijen?
