Whoa, I just talked for two hours straight and that is not my jam. Here are some quick links because my meeting ran long.
Apparently $1M is not enough to buy forgiveness for being young and stupid enough to post racist stuff on Twitter.
Local news, manatee wants to be frens.
I don’t think that’s how pet-breeding works.
I lived in a men’s dorm my freshman year of college. I can see how this could happen. My roommate and I had an argument over who left the tupperware out that got moldy in March. He won in May by moving out first.

The horror never stops here.
God, please no…

I needed that laugh.
Seriously- you typed it out the other day, and the onomatopoeia didnt resonate in my head. So I went to youtube, and heard some VSCO say it, and its been playing non-stop.
Literal blame.

Family of boy with autism outraged after he’s accused of sexual harassment
Care to make any comments, assholes?
Reeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Someone needs to fire up a woodchipper, and not for the kid.
put, put, put….
Five years is old enough to know better. I recommend expulsion and a long stint in juvie.
Don’t forget a lifetime on a list.
Autism ain’t got nothing to do with it. He’s FIVE fer crissakes.
Or do they want me to believe that a 16 year old also shouldn’t be accused of sexual harassment because autism?
16 year olds set global fiscal policy.
No, just the autistic ones.
Ooh, somebody accuse Greta of sexual harassment!
She was undressing Trump with her eyes.
No. I saw the video. She had tried to turn him into a newt and was pissed because the spell didn’t work.
She was making weird eyes at me!
Rules made procedures followed…
“my hands are tied” should also be “MY HANDS ARE TIED” as they are marched to the chipper.
That honestly makes me want to cry
Can’t tell if Tulpa or Tulpa trying a new handle and avatar. If Tulpa welcome aboard. If on the other hand Tulpa then bad Tulpa, no more changing.
It’s Tulsi apologists
I am you and you are me.
That’s position 73, right?
We did coo coo cajoob yesterday.
But different band, so…
It’s Tulsi Gabbard Apologist rehandled yet again. While I appreciate the cleverness, it is annoying on practical grounds.
You break my heart more than this story, Tonio
He couldn’t if he tried
Who replaced GK?
OK first some chick then Belloc, now back to GK, you are taking opposition to identity (politics) too far.
I am a heartbreaker. It is known.
Also a heartbreaker.
I remember back when TGA was Just Sayin’
TGA is Just Say’n ? huh
And when he was a Russian Appologist before a Tulsi Gabbard Apologist
Thank you. I was trying to remember.
Jesus. Been so long I couldn’t guess what the “original” was.
Wait, what? Ferrilz?
Yep. What threw me this time was I he dumped the Chesterton motif in his avatar (briefly)
Damn. Just sunk my TOS and Glib credentials, right there.
Just call him Apologist and he can work any moniker around that and we’ll know.
Some day there will be “Not a Naked Sir Yang Apologist” and we won’t know who it is.
The best thing about old-school TOS was the ability to use joke handles.
And to forget to change back and blow your cover.

Swiss…I mean, STEVE SMITH agrees.
A five-year-old sexual harasser?
GTFO
Care to make any comments, assholes?

I can’t see your posts.

Thanks Tonio, I’ll check it out,

TYPE IN CAPS SO WE CAN HEAR YOU!
Some of you might have seen me mention “the mistake” I’m making in my personal life currently. That actually seems like it might be fizzling out. However, she does have a daughter named Lilah, who had a rough life.
About Lilah: “Lilah has a life threatening incurable disease known as recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa . Her skin is missing the anchor that keeps it attached to her body. This condition also affects mucus membranes such as mouth throat nose and eyes. This disease requires constant bandage changes, expensive medical equipment, specialized clothing, blankets, and materials. Lilah can no longer eat by mouth and is fed and medicated soley through a tube inserted through the belly in to the stomach.”
Her mother is struggling with some things right now. I’d like to invite anyone to check out and “like” Lilah’s facebook page (for those that still have facebook) and if so inclined you can visit go fund me page page as well.
Her mom is currently finishing school to become a teacher, has just signed a book deal to put out a children’s book raising awareness about this disease. I’m hoping in another 6 months or so the family will be fully back on its feet.
Like I said, I think my personal relationship with her mother is fading, but these are good people in a shitty situation. Please don’t mention that I sent you her way, I’m not in this for the accolades.

I am so sorry 🙁
That is truly hard to read.
I helped with her twice weekly bandage change on Monday. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. It was heartbreaking and inspiring. The girl is really special and so positive. After screaming in pain for a few minutes, she just looked at her stressed out mom and went “I love you mama.”

Oh, that is so sad. I’m sorry.
Shit . . .when it rains it pours. I just talked to the mother and she isn’t getting paid for 3 days off. She took them off because a student (special needs) hit her in the head and gave her a concussion. I’m sure she’ll fight it and win, but that shit sucks.
Our former neighbors’ children had this disorder. Wrapped in bandages every day. As far as I know, both of the children are doing well considering how poor the long-term prognoses can be. Thanks for the links.
BTW– the “kids” are probably 20 and 17 by now.

Great, so now can we stop all this bullshit about banning Juul pods?
That depends on whether or not you want our children to keep dying.
Wait – I thought all our children were already dead from school shootings and net neutrality?
They’re not dying fast enough! We have to do something!
I agree!

There’s been what 9 deaths “related” to vaping this year , , , , It sure us a good thing there’s only like 42 deaths a day from lung cancer.
Did they all come from Indiana ?
This reads like the generic “Cops take $1B of drugs off the street” article. Then I click the link and FFS there’s the textbook picture of the haul.
When do the no-knock raids at the wrong address start.
Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix can shrug their shoulders as much as they like about their little movie but when the armed forces are preparing to deal with active shooters at screenings you might want to admit that you’ve made Citizen Kane for incels.
This is going as well as we predicted.
This guys writes for “Teen Vogue” and “Mens Health”. That is all
Aren’t they supposed to be preparing to shoot some brown people instead?
Armed forces are preparing to deal with active shooters at screenings? Yeah ok.
The troops were warned, bro.
Panic!
Footage!
Is he unaware that our armed forces are not armed when they leave the base and go to a movie?
This is excellent marketing for the film.

It is all I can do to get that notion out of the front of my noggin for a good ten minutes at a time.
Hi Brett!
Thanks for the lynx, but I think we had all better get a cheetah while we can.
My college roommate left some raw shrimp on the counter and then left for the weekend (I had left the day before). I’m not sure a corpse could smell worse than that.
It alway horrifies me how long I can talk. I had a lunch meeting today and the motherfuckers kept asking questions. Exhausting.
Since you didn’t post a musical selection, I’ll fuck up another Sloopy opportunity.
Maybe your college roommate was trying to attract some cheetahs.
Back in my Lieutenant days, I lived in a 3 man bachelor pad.
The dirty dishes piled up over a length of time. When I needed a specific dish that was buried in the sink, I discovered a dried up mouse carcass from a mouse that crawled in the sink for water after consuming some poison.
The poison we’d put out 4 months earlier.
When I was sharing an apartment with three other frat bros, fucking nobody would do dishes.
I went out and bought some cheap dishes for myself and kept them washed. My mates were pissed that I wouldn’t let them use my clean dishes.
Of course, I also told them not to drink my fucking beer, either, because they never replaced it.
2 related stories . . .
I had a roommate in college who essentially live with his GF. He come home every day though and make lunch. Never did any dishes. Since I actually lived there full time, I always did them. Eventually it pissed me off enough that I stopped. I would was a dish right before I used it and then put it back in the sink dirty when I was done. I’m glad I don’t live like that anymore.
At the frat house, when the sink got piled high enough, we threw all the dishes away and went and stole more from the student union. I wonder why the meal plan was so expensive?
I posted some musical selections.
I don’t think that’s how pet-breeding works.-
The surest way to make sure an animal goes extinct is to make them pets. Dogs & cats are barely hanging on. On a serious note, cheetahs are an evolutionary dead end.
“cheetahs are an evolutionary dead end”
Then how do you explain cheet-os?
Like all healthcare workers I will blame the obesity epidemic
“I lived in a men’s dorm my freshman year of college. I can see how this could happen. My roommate and I had an argument over who left the tupperware out that got moldy in March. He won in May by moving out first.”
FTA:
As someone who lived min a men’s dorm my freshman year of college (mine at a Catholic school with open showers, so it was a fucking nightmare), I too can see how this would happen.
You think that’s bad, imagine being a gay guy in Gym Class in Jr High and High School. Yeah, teenage boys get wood at anything. Now imagine being a teenage boy attracted to other boys and having to get naked with a bunch of other boys, some of whom were older… Teenage Tonio spent a lot of time staring at floor tiles.
My point was less about penis’ and more about how it was frequently showering in a garbage and vomit filled hell.
Ohhh… Ewwww.
This reminds me when my friend Tom and I (no homos), at about age 14, used to call “Gay House” and an actual line you could call to discuss gay issues with gay men. We spoke of that very situation in order to establish our gay bona fides, that we had to hide our erections. They bought it. We told them we were having trouble getting jobs in restaurants due to our orientation. The guy on the phone told us to apply at the Embers on I-694 and University Avenue because the manager was gay. I don’t recall anything else but do know that we did occasionally call them just for fun.
That was supposed to e a reply to Tonio. I guess the confession above will prevent me from ever holding public office or donating to charity. Apologies to Tonio btw. We were just kids.
We all did stupid, regrettable things when we were kids. Including, perhaps especially, me.
No worries. /no Australian
Of course you realize how Minnesodan that story is.

So what did that Carson King guy actually tweet? Or was it so bad that we are not allowed to see it for ourselves?
Imagine telling yourself ten years in the past that in the future journalists will be victimized for doing their job of tarnishing a guy who donates money to child cancer research
His Twitter posts gave black children cancer so it’s only fair.
We mustn’t lose sight of the fact that the real victim here is somehow Jim Acosta

The New Republic on “The ‘Cancel Culture’ Con”
tl;dr: Cancel culture is a myth spread by comedians to scam people into thinking they’re “edgy”, a bunch of allegedly “canceled” people we cherry-picked seem to be doing okay, the right does it too but worse, and a trans person got murdered.
See, he’s not homeless and penniless and starving in the streets, so no harm done.
Wow, a new culture in just one week!
I saw that the reporter for the Des Moines Register who tried to ruin the guy who was donating money to child cancer research had re-tweeted this before he tweeted his story. The irony was clearly lost on him
He should change his name to SHAME Gillis, am I right?
I’m sure they’re working on fixing that.

That’s the kind of outside the box thinking we need around here.
So, they eat the equivalent of 5 pounds, or, in non-journalist speak: 5 pounds.

The Libertarians on the Anti-Krugman Cruise Just Want to Be Left Alone
First, this is supposedly a libertarian website, so why is this the first I have heard of this cruise?
Second, what kind of libertarian goes on a cruise with other libertarians? What a nightmare! How many men with beards and titties screech at each other over some circumcision or some other contentious point?
The main problem is it’s a sausage fest.
Nah. Naomi Brockwell goes on the cruise and she’s a smokeshow
So 2,799 dudes all fighting each other over 1 red head?
How have you people never heard about the Contra Cruise?
Instead of defending Ben Shaprio’s honor you should be educating us!
OK, Ben Shapiro is an antisemite. Super smart take.
You can go back to listening to that edgy “Fifth Column” podcast now where they regurgitate the NYT opinion page while Kmele goes “what the fuck is wrong with you guys?”
It really takes a lot to tweak your nips.
*The Fifth Column*
Matt Welch: I don’t know. Here I’m going to be a squish again and say that John McCain is no doubt the bravest American of all time, but maybe war is sometimes bad. I don’t know
Moynihan: Woah- dude. That’s super edgy. I don’t know, I feel like everyone who opposes bombing brown people is secretly a racist
Kmele: What the fuck is wrong with you two?
“It really takes a lot to tweak your nips.”
WELL YOU ACCUSED ME OF LOVING BEN SHAPIRO.
Whose nipples wouldn’t be chaffed after that?
Kmele is the only reason to listen to the Fifth Column podcast.
Moynihan seems to have been infected with SJW cooties by his time at Vice.
Moynihan seems to have been infected with SJW cooties by his time at Vice.
What’s Welch’s excuse?
“WELL YOU ACCUSED ME OF LOVING BEN SHAPIRO.”
I just like to tweak your dumb nips when you take yourself too seriously.
A French wife?
I think you take yourself too seriously, Lara Ingraham fan
*folds arms smugly*
“What’s Welch’s excuse?”
His paymasters demand that he recite the NYT opinion page and pretend as if it’s libertarian-y AF
Speaking of Welch I do find it interesting that he, Gillespie and Jeff Tucker all supported the cancel culture and big tech censorship until they realized that it was going to be turned against them.
*The Fifth Column*
Moynihan: The most racist thing a person can do is not vote Democrat. I mean, I’m not a Democrat, but anyone who doesn’t vote for them is obviously racist
Welch: Yeah. Again, I hate to be the squish, but this is absolutely right.
Kmele: That is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard
Moynihan: Well, that’s because you’re racist, Kmele
Kmele: What the fuck is wrong with you two?
“so why is this the first I have heard of this cruise?”
How have you never heard of the contra cruise?
That’s kinda what I’m thinking.
Of course if you listen to either of Woods’ podcasts you’ll hear about it more times than you’d really want to.
Also, razors and that suit carry on thingy
Don’t forget SkillShare!
That makes sense because I listen to neither Woods podcast.
I guess I’m too busy not paying to libertarian cruise media.
Honestly the worst sort of thing I could imagine about going on the Contra Cruise is that because Tom sorta runs the show, progressive rock will feature heavily in the music selection.
I don’t know. I saw a picture where Bob Murphy had to shave his beard and that was pretty frightening.
The worst thing about it is that it’s a cruise.
I’ve only been on one cruise and apart from having to go through security theater at the airport to get there, and a lesser version of it every time I got on the boat I was surprised to find I like it.
Wouldn’t be my #1 way to vacation(camping), but once every ten years, sure why not.
Norovirus, Golden Corral quality food, $15 well drinks, rapey slave labor staff, and you can’t get off. Why wouldn’t you want to go on a cruise?

Nice throwback
Thanks.
What about the student’s parents? They haven’t heard from him for two months and did nothing? When I was a freshman my parents and I talked on the phone at least once a week–even though neither they (at the time) nor I had a phone of any kind.
“When I was a freshman my parents and I talked on the phone at least once a week”
lol. Gay.
This, my folks sent me an MCI phone card so I could call once a week.
Also lol gay.
My parents actually moved during my first semester at college, and didn’t tell me.
Seriously.
That is a sign of something. I’m not going to say what because it isn’t my place to tell you that you were unwanted.
Maybe his parents were quadriplegics
I shoulda known when they helped pack the car, paid to gas it up, got me out of bed early the day I left, and waved good-bye from the foot of the driveway. I believe I recall hearing Pater Dean say “Those tail-lights are sure a pretty sight” as I drove off.
So did mine. Turns out I was the only thing keeping my mom in the city. The second I was out she moved to the country with my soon-to-be stepfather.

“Christopher Braun was patrolling Charleston, South Carolina in his police cruiser early Monday when he noticed something unusual: A car had pulled up alongside him – and an 11-year-old boy was in the driver’s seat, alone.
The boy had taken his brother’s car and driven several hours from Simpsonville, South Carolina to live with a man he met on Snapchat, according to police.
By the time the boy pulled up next to Braun in a restaurant parking lot at 12:30 in the morning, he was 200 miles from home.
“He was lost, he didn’t know where he was going, and he needed help,” Charleston Police Chief Luther Reynolds told WCIV.”

The sort of experiment Josef Mengele would be proud of
On Nov. 8, 2016, Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, stepped in front of TV cameras and announced that the nation would almost immediately begin getting rid of most of its cash. Indians would have to exchange or deposit their large rupee bills in a matter of weeks — or else the bills would become worthless. Poof. Gone. The policy was supposed to end corruption, counterfeiting and a large shadow economy; it was also a push to turn India’s backward, cash-dependent economy into a modern, electronic one.
But what followed proved to be chaos.
——–
blah blah blah
——-
There’s currently a movement to get rid of cash. One of its leaders is Chodorow-Reich’s colleague at Harvard, Kenneth Rogoff. Rogoff wrote a book called The Curse of Cash, and he makes the case that eliminating large bills will have all sorts of societal benefits, starting with a reduction in crime and corruption.
Chodorow-Reich’s study raises the prospect that the movement to get rid of cash has a real cost. But he cautions that such a policy might work out differently in a country like the United States. India has a massive population of people without bank accounts, credit cards or payment apps — and the United States is much more advanced in this regard. It’s not as dependent on cash.
India surely suffered under this policy, but Chodorow-Reich and his team do find that it helped promote the adoption of electronic forms of payment. Moreover, once new cash replaced the old notes and people adjusted to the new payment systems, things returned to normal. “If India had been able to print those notes and distribute them instantaneously, there wouldn’t have been any problem,” Chodorow-Reich says.
Which is why Chodorow-Reich advises that if a country wants to get rid of cash, it should heed this key lesson from India: “You don’t want to do it suddenly,” he says. “There are adjustment costs.”
“Apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?”
While Mengele was one of the true monsters of history, he had nothing to do with monetary policy. Mugabe, Krugman, or Muduro would be more appropriate, but we can’t have NPR criticizing them, can we?
Only the poors suffer from this, and really only the working poors, the good obedient dependent poors have their EBT cards. It’s only those working poors who can’t get a debit card because they can’t open a checking account after bouncing checks, or they don’t have the $100 minimum balance to keep it fee free and can’t afford the $10 a month. God I hate top men.
I find it interesting that so many policies proposed by academics, intellectuals, lefties of all stripes become actual nightmare dystopias when paired with a Social Credit Score.
This is one of them. Cashless society plus Social Credit Score = totalitarian nightmare.
The Social Credit Score isn’t what makes them dystopian nightmares. The Social Credit Score just fast forwards it a bit.
Oh come on, you just need to eat bugs, never have kids, get rid of your cars, turn off your air conditioning, and only be able read what the government says, or we might end up in a dystopia.

So she’s who to blame.
Was Star Trek the one with Luke Moonwalker and Hope Solo or was that some other movie or show that virgins in high school watched?
no it was the one we’re the small guy smoke cigarettes in the opening, Midnight spot?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH06aNXWb8U
I doubt anyone who:
a) Watches Star Trek and
b) Doesn’t know what “Desilu Productions” refers to
has the slightest idea who Lucille Ball is.
Judge Nap is on the radio now talking about the transcript. He really hates Donnie Two-Scoops, huh?
Remember when Napolitano got suspended from Fox after suggesting at the beginning of Fever Dreams after suggesting that Trump was wiretapped by the FBI? (SPOILER: He was right, we know now)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/21/andrew-napolitano-suspended-fox-wiretap-claims-fiz/
After other “reporters” trashed him for that and he was suspended he never questioned the intelligence community again. So he fits right in at Fox now.
He’s not wrong in his criticisms, he just seems to accept the narrative more than he use to

Amazon’s new Echo Frames smart glasses bring Alexa to your face for $180
The smart glasses don’t have a display or camera on them, only integrated microphones and a small speaker for Alexa access on the go.
The glasses look like any normal glasses, but discreetly direct Alexa’s responses to your queries directly into your ear. You can also swipe the side of the glasses to get more information, set reminders and use smart home gear while on the go.
The Echo Frames will be available with or without a prescription, and weigh only 31 grams (1.1 ounces), Limp said during the event.
So a less functional smart watch for your face.
Amazon is starting to creep me out. They want to put microphones on everything. Did you see their smart ring?
I did, you can now show your devotion to Amazon with a promise ring.
Is it a cock-ring?
No, but this exisits.

Secondly, there are many instances in the manuscript where the actions, conversations and behavior of identifiable individuals at specific named colleges are discussed in detail and at length in relation to controversial events. Given the sensitivity of the issues involved, there is both the potential for serious harm to Emerald’s reputation and the significant possibility of legal action.

Re: Cheetahs
If there’s a market for them, then cheetahs are not likely to go extinct. Why, I’d expect some enterprising company to start up a captive breeding program just to maintain the supply. Or do something like what is done with pedigreed dogs, thoroughbreds, or prize cattle.
All of which might be better for increasing the number of cheetahs as a whole. Of all the great cats, cheetahs are the smallest in size, have the highest cub mortality rate, and enjoy the shortest average lifespan. As your mom probably told you, cheetahs never prosper.

The wrong side won, apparently
“Looking back, the era since the fall of the Berlin Wall seems like one of complacency, or opportunities lost,” said the novelist Kazuo Ishiguro in his 2017 Nobel lecture. “Enormous inequalities – of wealth and opportunity – have been allowed to grow … and the long years of austerity policies imposed on ordinary people following the scandalous economic crash of 2008 have brought us to a present in which far right ideologies and tribal nationalisms proliferate. Racism is once again on the rise, stirring beneath our civilised streets like a buried monster awakening.”
Western liberals thought they had won, because they looked around the world at burgeoning markets. But they missed the fact that they were losing, slowly but steadily, in their own backyards. As soon as working class voters were given outlets for their anger – Donald Trump, Brexit – it poured out of them. The populist stew is of course a complex concoction, mixing misanthropy and nativism with genuine concerns about economic prospects.
——-
The question now, as posed by Bill Galston and others in this series, is whether the political leadership can be found to reform the political economy of nations like the US and UK, in the same spirit as during the 1930s and the postwar years. Right now is a bad time to answer that question, of course. The bilateral buffoonery of Trump and Boris Johnson suggests that things are going to get much worse before there is much chance they will get better.
For liberal democracy to recover, we will have to recast prevailing liberal philosophy, politics and economic policy. Philosophically, liberals will have to start by eating many slices of humble pie. It turned out to be a terrible mistake to assume that capitalism and democracy naturally go hand in hand. Perhaps an understandable one, given a certain historical view. Liberal democracy and liberal capitalism were, after all, twins, born of the European Enlightenment. But as history has shown repeatedly, they can be separated. It is simply wishful thinking to believe that some deep natural processes drive liberal causes. They have to be fought for, over and over and over again. Plato’s line about democracy being “a wonderfully pleasant way of carrying on in the short run” used to be a modernists’ laugh-line. But we’re not laughing now.
Where the fuck do these people come from?
England.
“Western liberals thought they had won, because they looked around the world at burgeoning markets. But they missed the fact that they were losing, slowly but steadily, in their own backyards.

The populist stew is of course a complex concoction, mixing misanthropy and nativism with genuine concerns about economic prospects.”
In what sense are the opponents to Brexit, Trump, Orban, or literally any other populist “liberal”? The people who support speech codes and ignoring elections are “liberal”?
All I see is two assholes and sometimes one asshole is full of less shit than the other. Right now, the faux “Liberal Order” is entirely full of shit
Well Western liberals did create the Guardian so…
In all seriousness Western liberals have always had a problem with their ideology being based on very weak foundations. Socialism didn’t take off until after a major rise in living standards after all. Economic downturns and war have seriously messed with liberalism but how to deal with or prevent them is not been resolved.
Also Western Liberals have a serious tendency to give up on it very quickly. See the UK Liberals in 1914 or Democrats like Wilson and FDR
Also Western liberals ignored the ideologies coming out of the public schools and the universities until it was too late. Again…

“The White House made a major goof Wednesday when it accidentally sent out its talking points on Donald Trump’s call with the Ukrainian president to House Democrats instead of Republicans.
Sources sent images of the email to a Politico journalist, who reported that the White House then sent a follow-up message to Democrats in an attempt to ‘recall’ the email it unintentionally sent.
The email insisted that what Trump talked about with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a July 25 phone call was ‘entirely proper.'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7504617/White-House-mass-emails-Ukraine-talking-points-DEMOCRATS-Congress-instead-Republicans.html
The email insisted that what Trump talked about with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a July 25 phone call was ‘entirely proper.’”
Well, I read the transcript, and I didn’t see anything improper.
If BIden had not been the VP at the time of this incident, but was instead private citizen Biden who had no access to levers of power, I could see asking for Ukraine to look into it as a problem.
Because Biden was the VP at the time, hiring the unremarkable Biden Jr, son of the VP of the USA has a very strong whiff that something not on the level happened.
The appearance of corrupt activities is of course not proof of corrupt activities, but its damned suspicious and worth looking into.
If Biden hadn’t been VP at the time, what he did would be as legal as what Mike Flynn did.
Speaking of the impending “cashless economy” what the hell is up with these ads for (cash advance?) cards I keep seeing?
I get the impression they are some sort of direct deposit cards with a line of credit. One of them was claiming to have no interest or fees, I think. How does that work?
Aren’t they essentially bank accounts with a debit card? The company offering them makes money off the invested cash on hand, so they don’t need to have fees. Some even offer cash back a la credit cards.
So the interesting side effect of this Ukraine fiasco is threat Biden has fallen behind Warren in three separate polls now.
Trump polls very well against Warren. As in he polls over her in most non-blue wall states .
This has to be good news for Trump.
A former Bernie Bros at work is all in for Warren. He blames Bernie for Trump’s victory. I find the venom he now holds for Bernie to be very strange.
He describes Warren as having Bernie’s policies in a better, more understandable package. I am totally befuddled by this and how he is taken in by the same empty rhetoric
“Free shit” is a powerful drug.

Wanna save cheetahs ? make them valuable. That is how animal breeding works. (cheetah is one of the best of the big cats to keep as a pet).
^This. Cheetahs are pretty unique for the larger felids in that they run down their prey and take it quickly. Lions and tigers (etc) stalk their prey, which often leads to bad outcomes for people who try to keep them as pets or status symbols (ie, Hermann Goering and his lion).
Yeah, cheetahs are oddly compatible with people. Still, I don’t want a cat in my house that is as big as I am.

Today on Glibertarians.com, I learned…..
Frying up some cock, are ya?
I keep thinking you should spell it “codde”. Probably not historically correct, but it just seems to fit better with “cunte”.
I can find no documentation for that.
Finding documentation for “cod” was hard enough, and even then I appear to have blown off my source.
That’s what I figured. I just like the way it* looks, especially paired up with “cunte”.
*The word, you degenerates.
Yes, I know what you meant. However, the book is not really titled Cuntes & Cods or I might be tempted to make it Cuntes & Coddes.
I really just want to name it Friend-Zoned, but the anachronism is just too much.
Boon-demarked?
It’s ok. No one here will judge your taste in porn. Well no one but Crusty.
Spelling was not actually fixed (as in, standardized) until well into the movable-type era. Samuel Johnson started the dictionary trend, but was moar concerned with meaning than spelling.
Also, unrelated, please do me the favour of writeing to me at tonio 4 liberty (at-at) protonmail dot com.
In case you were serious about emailing you, I did so.
The problem with finding documentation on the usage of words in 1420 is that:
1) not a whole lot of writing to analyze
2) no idea how long a word was in use orally before it got written down
For instance, the word “fuck” (which I used):
It also was not included in many dictionaries (once there were such things) and not in much writing. One could be excused (based on historical record) for thinking it was an obscure word that went in and out of fashion occasionally with a tiny group of people.
Oh, I meant to say also that of course we have no idea how people spoke then.
I was totes serious. Thanks.
I would never troll (other than obviously and light-heartedly) another stalwart here.

Whoa. What is this in the last thread? SoyBoy asking about guns and someone said he is thinking suicide? What the hell s that? I missed that part and don’t have time to search for it. What the hell is going on there? Someone fooling around or is it serious?
Here.
Yikes. I cant decide….could be serious depression? Or trolling for someone to respond in an off color way? I don’t know what to make of that.
Also, we have cliques? I was not aware of this.
This is what I said below: “Whether it was trolling, attention-whoring, emo cry for help, or sincere if incoherent, it sounded chemical-fueled.”
Glib commentariat is the clique.
Save yourself the trouble and avoid all of that.
I could be wrong, but it reads more like trolling.
It did to me as well at first, but the way he reacted when actually engaged seemed more like someone desperate for contact and I care a lot less about being lulzed at if I am wrong than I do about the alternative.
Agreed, but he was very passive-aggressive with this.
Absolutely. The problem is that goes with trolling and also goes with isolation and a desperate attempt by someone who doesn’t know how to connect.
I’m not a real sensitive guy, but referring to people as a “cock sucker” is not a great way to get people to not dislike you off the bat.
If only a former contributor understood that.
Pfft what are you people?Umpires?
Sorry to be harsh, but he was honestly attention-whoring. This is not a teenage chatroom where your emo friends are expected to support you. Nor did he receive the “okay, fine, kill yourself” response for which I suspect he was deliberately trolling.
Whether it was trolling, attention-whoring, emo cry for help, or sincere if incoherent, it sounded chemical-fueled.

::pant, pant:: OK! Now I can type without risking a faceplant on the treadmill!
Moje, you don’t know how much I needed to hear you say that just now. Earlier this afternoon, I logged on to Submittable and found another terse “No thx” for the story. I’d swear that submission went from “Received” to “Declined” with nary an “In Progress” in between. I expect to get plenty of rejections – I just wish more of the publications would give some feedback.
BTW, in case you missed it, you can see an example of my much earlier work in another genre – poetry (well, really just a song parody) – if you go back to yesterday’s Afternoon Links page and do a “Find on This Page” for “Lydia.”
Of course, maybe you saw it and just decided that the less said about it, the better. I WILL say that it helps give the lie to the idea that women aren’t comfortable talking about gynecological matters.
I missed it, and will read it, but I warn you: I am a very poor judge of poetry.
Don’t expect that at all. Generally, those pubs are looking to fill an agenda.
Also, curiously, the hardest nut to crack is the Women’s World Weekly 800-word romance stories.
Good! ’cause this is very poor poetry!
It’s really just some silliness I worked up along with a [male] coworker many years ago. These are the verses I wrote – I can’t remember exactly how his went, and mine were better anyway.

Yes, I disappeared completely for a couple of months while writing this book.

JATNAS drops in occasionally. I believe his absences are work-related.
Over the past 15 years or so, TOS and now here, there have been more than a few people I really liked who came and went. given the nature of the world we live in I am sure some of the losses are due to expiring, great life changes, and eventual moving on to other material. It is a shame about those that pass away…leaves me wondering.
I am sure my wife will show up here eventually and inform everyone when I end up sitting on a cloud plucking at a harp and being bored out of my mind. Maybe I will go look up the ones from here that have gone missing. Almanian and I will figure out a way to haunt you fuckers.

It’s the tragedy of our new online socialization.

The one I wonder/worry about is Groovus Maximus. He was engaged here, actually emailed me to tell me about this joint, was planning a trip to the US that we might have been able to meet and then . . . poof. Gone, without a clue or a hint. I emailed him a couple of times and didn’t hear back.
Gilmore vanished too.
I miss his warmongering Objectivist ways (jk)
I think he posts at TOS semi-regularly.
He was in Ukraine right? I worry about him too. Bad things going on there.
So he is the one pulling Trump’s strings! Or wasn’t it Putin? Is Trump both a Russian and a Ukrainian puppet?
Oh shit, I never realized he was in Ukraine.
I could be wrong. But I thought he was a Doctor in the Ukraine. I sometimes read into things though so I defer to those better informed.
Yes, and after he started dating a hot Slavic nurse he had little time left to post.
Groovus right? not Gilmore?
in Ukraine I mean…
Yup. An American doctor in the Ukraine. He had stories about his clinic getting shot up, while he was in it, during the Russian invasion.
And I think he married the hot nurse. As is traditional for physicians.
I believe GM’s wife is a fellow surgeon. Not a nurse.
Even hotter.
Yup. I remember him saying something about the Mrs. doing his vasectomy.
Same here Dean. GM and I were fairly engaged in discussing something personal and in the middle….*poof*…no Groovus. I have never had a good feeling about it.
Same. Had emailed back and forth a couple of times, then… poof.
Miss him.
I never believed the Groovus Maximus story. A doctor in Ukraine is paid 10-20 times less than a doctor in the US. A doctor for Ukrainian oligarchs/mafia/politicians could be well compensated (like in Oklahoma) but Groovus never hinted that he was doing that.

OHHHH, Did we upset Diego? and he’s back as SoyBoy?
or am I wearing too much time foil?
Diego wouldn’t be a dick like that. At least he wasn’t before when he commented
Diego struck me as young and looking for approval, but not at all trollish or depressed.
Yeah, I suspect he was young, but he was not seeking approval. He got dogpiled a few times for being honest. I respect that

Hyperbole, I made a comment to you yesterday that upon further review came off as trollish and dismissive.
I apologize
I didn’t notice but appreciate the consideration. It can be hard to get tone on comment boards and I’m sure we all souund like dicks when we son’t mean to. I
Yeah, my sarcasm often comes off as being an asshole in print and in real life (if I’m being honest). But, I really didn’t like how I sounded after I wrote the comment yesterday.
It was the Nick Gillespie of comments
…fat fingered and posted early. I don’t take anything on here too personally and assume everyone is at least half joking even if they tell you to DIAF, except for that one asshole, fuck him.
I know you are talking about me. I’m right here!
TROLL! TROLL! TROLL!
I do remember that, odd how different people read into things they read in text as opposed to Speech
Don’t get too worked up. We all do that now and then. As Hyperbole says, it is hard to tell true intentions on here. For instance, I come off as a real asshole sometimes here but in real life….well ok, I am a real asshole there too. Ok, never mind what I said.
You should be the Dos Equis spokesguy, with all the crazy shit you go through. Though Yufus is a strong competitor for the position…
It took a long time for me to comment at TOS, and mostly ignored when I did, when the Sloopinca shit went down I bailed to here, changed my name to be recognized, and never looked back. I have friends, enemies, Teachers and students here, this may seem like an echo chamber sometimes, but boy it’s been a lot of fun being a part of Glibs,
Thank You all!
Hey, how yoo dooin’?
Alright, I suppose, working a new project, maybe looking for work pretty quick here, but I’ll let ya know how that works.
How are Y’allins?
Same here, Yusef, except I wouldn’t say I have any enemies. I wouldn’t say you do, either. At least, not that I’ve noticed.
There are people here who I disagree with more or less often, but hey, that’s half the fun. Probably HM the most*, but he’s so fucking smart that he poses a real challenge to some of my views. Which is good.
*I’m not counting Hyperbole, who is disagreeable for the fun of it, and is to my mind a highly accomplished and intentional troll.
International Troll of leisure
Probably HM the most*
If you’d just eat ass you’d probably be more agreeable.
I would say Hyperbole is more of a genuine devil’s advocate.
I am not!
SHUT THE FUCK UP, SATANTARD!
Yuh huh.
TROLL! TROLL! TROLL!
You believe the Progocalypse will occur when Trump fails to win a 2nd term in 2020; I believe that it will happen in 2024 after he serves his 2 terms.
Our differences are Gulliverian big-end/little-end minutiae.
And I thought I am being too pessimistic and cynical…
My motto has long been “no matter how cynical I get it’s just never enough.”
Maybe hate is too strong, but there are a few who don’t like my style, and that’s fine, I have a few I call out as well, that’s what makes it fun.
Probably HM the most
Hmmm, I actually find I agree with both of you an awful lot of the time so it is interesting that you see him as your foil. I disagree with Hyperbole a lot (and our personalities clash, which is probably on me) and there are a couple folks whose tones makes my teeth itch even when (often as not) I agree with what they are saying. but I don’t have any enemies. UCS might disagree because I like to poke him, and I am fairly sure Hyperbole does disagree because I snap or snark at him about once a week, but I don’t dislike anyone and really haven’t since FOS. I disliked him because he would take a position I agreed with then turn it into something racist, and I really hate when people on my side pull that crap because it rubs off.
” I wouldn’t say I have any enemies.”
Interesting. I consider you the Hatfield to my McCoy.
Pyramus: Was Shafulus to Procris ne’er so true?
Thisbe: As Procris to Shafulus, I to you.
Agreed 100%. Honestly, this is one of the few places where I actually feel I can have a decent discussion on a lot of topics.
I come here for the fun and snark. Some of these discussions get far too serious for me.

And fuck off, Tulpa.
Regarding this Website,
IMO this has become a place where we can express ourselves without the Big Bad World judging us. The Overlords have done an incredible job keeping the trolls at Bay, and there are no real boundaries for the types of articles they will publish. This place is COOL!!!!!!!!!
/need to start next article……
Oh, we’re judging you alright.
YOU can judge me all you like, we are in the same pond, and I can safely say…….Ready?
FUCK OFF!
Cheers Brother
I noticed that reads real Dickish, it wasn’t meant that way.
Stop judging yourself! Stop judging yourself!
I’m the only person qualified to judge me, and right now, I suck
Do you need a “second”? 😛
Heh
I’m not sure what to make of soyboy, but he sure spiced things up!
Even though I’m not as regular as most of you, it is amazing how I can post things here that I wouldn’t talk about even with most of my meatspace friends. Hell, the first story I ever wrote here I don’t know if I’ve told fully in public.
What are your 14 favorite darkest fantasies.
Go.
Those who make it here probably Lurk for a while, find the right time and tone, and prepare for Fuck Off and Tulpa, then comment, I recall a certain Tall can Afficianado who fell right in with our clan by not being afraid of the Having, rolling with our humor and adding to our never ending Convo,
Tall Cans Tres!

Have you considered a fiber supplement?
Until WordPress or the DNC finds out…
You make me look optimistic.

Heroic Mulatto DESTROYS Incel Excuses and Worldview by LINKING to ONE Video. (Freshman Community College Associates in Information Technology Majors Owned, Not Clickbait)
Well done.
Ok, but the person who did the boxed captioning (which overlays the actual in video captioning, and is insanely badly done) can’t get a woman even if the poor bastard with the wasting disease can.
I agree about the quality of the captions, but if you look at the other videos in the channel, that guy is ridiculously photogenic and handsome.
(Assuming he also did those captions and not a volunteer.)
You better be paying attention. That dude is giving a masterclass in Gorilla Mindset Alpha Game.
She willingly wipes his ass for him!
He reminds of me both Mason Reese and the underrated and underappreciated comedian Crip Daddy.
So she works for Elizabeth Warren?
Look at how Ricky Berwick just grabs that pussy.

Damn, now all those DESTROYED Incels will be too demoralized to go on their shooting sprees when Joker comes out.
Not all heroes wear capes, but I do.
HM, the hero we need and the one we deserve.

So called Incels….the In part is inaccurate. It never occurs to these guys that their physical appearing isn’t what is so off-putting about them?
Hint: If you think violence is an appropriate response to people rejecting you perhaps the people rejecting you have a good point.
Buy a saddle.
If the misery in your life wasn’t caused by a random disease or lightning strike type accident it was caused by you. Every thing that I am unhappy about I chose in one way or another.
I would throw mental illness in there, though, unless you’re counting that in “disease.”
I kind of hedge on that one. Yes mental disease can make you unhappy, but in a lot of cases people use mental diseases as excuses to avoid engaging life. If you have anxiety issues or depression you do have a burden some people do not bear, but it is still on you to confront it and rise to the challenge. We all know people who have overcome their phobias and we also all know people who have given up on life because of them.
Fair or not, if you have crippling fears you have a choice. You can face them and open up vistas, or you can hide in your room. Facing them is harder but has better results.
Obviously more extreme mental illness is harder, if not impossible to overcome.
“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.”
As someone who is/was a legit asshole, that statement is true.
It’s not just their physical appearance. It’s their entire attitude and outlook on life. They set themselves up to be rejected so that they can basque in the rejection, and finally have an enemy to fight against, which is THEM!
THEM! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Basque? Ummm…yeah, fuck them too!
Are you kidding me? Basque chorizo is the best chorizo.
Hey….have you seen some of those Basque girls?

Iowahawk had a good thread on this insanity.
It’s the last tweet in that series that’s just……mwah! Perfecto!
I’m glad any and all attention is being brought to this story – it infuriates me beyond reason. In fact, it infuriates me enough to pour some Scotch on a Thursday (see my review below!).
Savage.
That gets to the real downside of social media – many kids are not wise enough to understand that posting the offensive crap they talk about with their friends is going to get them in trouble some day.
Most of us were adults when these sites started and knew better.
Dammit I thought free speech, tolerance and lack of social ostracism was supposed to result from social media? You mean society merely just changed what it likes and dislikes instead?
Also I thought the internet was supposed to allow to express ourselves in whatever way we want? Or is merely only in the approved ways?
This calls out for one of those Real Men of Genius commercials.
Here’s to you, reporter guy. Who else would think to dredge up 8 year old Tweets from a teenager who just donated a million bucks, all the while ignoring your own history.
Here’s to you, beer company marketing guy, who runs at the slightest hint of outrage.
Here’s to you, SJWs. Making the world crappier by not believing in redemption and not forgiving a single goddamn thing.
They don’t forgive because they think it elevates themselves by comparison. They represent the basest part of human social behavior.

As this is the Guardian the real message is that we need TOP MEN.
I just shut down a conversation in a bar about no-smoking in bars laws with “you pay the rent, you make the the rules, fuck the government “
Good job.
Then they bounced you, AMIRITE?
Ok, what’s great is I just went with end drug prohibition and put the cartels out of business and the bartender totally jumped in on my side.
Guess that’s worth a little more juke box love before I leave.
I didn’t bring eithet the smoking or prohibition topics up, I just won them.
AlmightyJB destroys libtard club patrons with FACTS and LOGIC!!!
It’s true.
This is nuts.
If the Labour Party in United Kingdom wins, say goodbye to the United Kingdom.
The UK is dead anyway. Corbyn just volunteered to cremate it.
It’s like he doesn’t want to win. I can’t imagine the non-elite, non-London parts of the country would support this. OTOH, it’s perfectly obvious that the MP’s largely don’t give a shit about what the voters want, so… who knows.
This. It’s over.
International commies seek to destroy national sovereignty. News at 11.
The UK is turning out to be quite a valuable experiment.
Anyone want to go check Freebrough Hill for sounds of some really cranky guys waking up?
