IFLA: The Horoscope for the Week of April 7

Alignments:  Two (2) As follows–

     Venus-Mercury-Luna: “News of changing love.”  Does not apply to lesbians.  Does apply doubly to Pisces.  May or may not apply to lesbian Pisces.  Indications of additional male partners likely.

     Jupiter-Mercury-Sol: Significant political happenings.  Not an assassination.  Not a war.  Not peace talks.  Possibly a sporting event.  If a sporting event, most likely basketball or buzkashi.  Or maybe bass fishing.

Planetary visitations: Six (6) of which two (2) are the same as they have been for months.  Of the four (4) that are neither Jupiter in Sagittarius or Saturn in Capricorn–

     The Sun in Aries –  This means you get theme music this week.

     The moon in Taurus – a contradiction as the moon is a change sign and Taurus is stability.  Also not a contradiction, as the moon in nits crescent shape resembles the horns of a bull.  Being a contradiction and not a contradiction is contradictory.  Expect contradictions and horny bulls.

     Mars is Pisces – Brother fighting brother.  Turmoil in family life.

     Mercury and Venus in Pisces – Young love, new life, first fruits.

As for the cards, this week it looks like it’s all going to be at 6’s and 7’s.  Financial reversals (literally, all the coin cards were drawn reversed).  Otherwise, big things will be happening with three Kings drawn consecutively, and it will close out on a satisfactory note with the perfect/complete 10’s flanking The Magician (which is classically used as a stand-in for the querent) indicating that you will be in control at the end.

  • Aries:  6 of Wands – Triumph, celebration, good news, parades
  • Taurus:  6 of Cups, reversed – spoilage, events occurring ahead of schedule
  • Gemini:  King of Coins, reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril
  • Cancer:  King of Wands – Friendly dark man, an honest and conscientious person, a father
  • Leo:  King of Cups – Friendly fair man, member of the professions, a responsible person
  • Virgo:  7 of Swords – Quarreling, annoyance, a plan that may fail, hope, confidence
  • Libra:  Knight of Coins, reversed – Idleness, inertia, stagnation, carelessness, discouragement
  • Scorpio:  2 of Cups, reversed – false love, folly, misunderstanding, misdiagnosis
  • Sagittarius:  Justice, reversed – Conformity, bigotry, bias, excessive severity
  • Capricorn:  10 of Cups – Contentment, successful completion
  • Aquarius:  The Magician, reversed – Physician, mental illness, disgrace, disquiet
  • Pisces:  10 of Coins, reversed – chance, loss, robbery, dowry, games of hazard

    “Libra: Knight of Coins, reversed – Idleness, inertia, stagnation, carelessness, discouragement”

    I’m going to bed.

  2. Libra: Knight of Coins, reversed – Idleness, inertia, stagnation, carelessness, discouragement

    Well, that’s discouraging. Guess I’ll go see the apothecary, see if he can do something about getting my humours adjusted. Maybe stop by the phrenologist afterwards.

      You can’t fight the stars, dude. You can’t fight the stars.

    Well, we have just decided to sell the house and move away from the Lower Rainland™ back to Alberta, so . . .

    Better than the last couple weeks! I guess I shouldn’t do the gloves this week.

    1. Tundra

      Drop.

      Fucking phone.

    2. Spudalicious

      And you called me a sick fuck.

      1. Tundra

        Any port in a storm, brother.

        1. Jarflax

          Micro usb huh?

    3. Not Adahn

      One of the (many) problems with a single card draw is that the Kings and Queens represent people, not actions. So you get “this individual will be important,” but not why or how.

      1. Tundra

        Sounds pretty libertarian to me.

  7. mexican sharpshooter

    Aries: 6 of Wands – Triumph, celebration, good news, parades

    Trump celetrates good news with a parade?

    1. mexican sharpshooter

      Triumph…lets put the whiskey down.

      1. Tundra

        Fight the good fight, eh?

        1. mexican sharpshooter

          Eh? Since when were you Canadian?

            Make it worth the price we pay

        3. MikeS

          Yep. Lay it on the line.

      2. mexican sharpshooter

        Is this old guy music? I NEED AN ADULT!

          1. blackjack

            Nope. More like:

            Old guy, if you figure 1981 to be old guy music.

          2. Tundra

            Beauty, eh?

  8. Suthenboy

    I liked my last one better. It said everything was coming up daisies.

    Oh, wait….

    1. Fourscore

      “Oh, wait…”

      For a while, anyway…

      1. Suthenboy

        I am just wondering who is pushing them up.

        1. Fourscore

          Some of my friends have made that last ride recently. I didn’t have many to start with, sure am glad our sponsors are doing a good job here so I have a few new ones.

    Gemini:  King of Coins, reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril

    Ok ok, the new mid life facial hair experiment is coming off. With the exception of corruption I am ok with the rest of it.

  10. DEG

    Being a contradiction and not a contradiction is contradictory.

    If I were to get rid of my common sense, and thus become truly intelligent, then it is not a contradiction.

  11. blackjack

    I’m suspicious of this whole predictive scheme Not Adhan, IF that’s not your real name.

    1. Not Adahn

      I tell you the truth: my name is not adahn.

  12. Rhywun

    OT: Deblasio is building a tsunami of support in Vegas! Look out, Trump.

    But, he added, there needs to be a “bigger discussion about income inequality and oppression of other groups including Latinos, Native Americans, Asian and women,” he said at the event organized by the immigrant advocacy group Make the Road.

    “I think we’re going to need something bigger even in a way, broader even in a way, then some of the ideas that have been put out there,” he said to the approximately 35 attendees.

    1. MikeS

      approximately 35 attendees.

      It’s reporting like that that makes me like the Post.

    2. blackjack

      It’s important for us to have equal incomes. Also, look how oppressed the poor Asians are, not to mention the women folk, feather Indians and latinos. If only we all made exactly what Deblasio makes. Then we’d see the value of diversity and treat these victim groups better.

      1. Fourscore

        We all produce the same thing Deblasio produces and of equal quality, I’d guess.

        1. MikeS

          Shit, there’s no way that guy produces anything as good as I do!

        2. Suthenboy

          I do. Once per day.

      2. Rhywun

        Further down he’s being taken to task for wanting to spread the wealth to more than just black people.

        My god, 2020 is going to be epic.

        1. Chafed

          Preach it my brother.

      3. Hyperion

        Some animals are more equal than others.

      4. I also don’t like the concept that anyone with money is actively doing something to keep the poor and minorities down. “Oppress” is an active verb, and thus most of these speeches imply that the rich are out there every day working to deprive others of success. Except the wealthy like DeBlasio, of course.

        And except his wife, who somehow just “lost” $250 million of New York mental health funds.

        Come to think of it, actively depriving mentally ill people from getting help truly is oppression. May want to check with your wife again before you start telling people they need to eat the rich, Bill.

        1. Rhywun

          That pair really are in a class by themselves. I just wonder how much more damage they will do on their way out.

    3. Fourscore

      Guy knows how to draw a crowd anyway

    4. Sean

      ????

      Approximately 35?

      That’s awesome.

      1. But Enough About Me

        With so few attendees, it’s odd that the number isn’t more exact — how hard is it to count up a few dozen?

        1. Hyperion

          It could be as high as 36. Trump better start being scared.

          1. Fourscore

            But they were quality people, the best !

        2. Sean

          Didn’t JEB! have an event where 1 guy showed up?

          He’s doing better than that. ?

          1. Hyperion

            The one guy was a Russian bot.

          2. Suthenboy

            I just nearly choked. I forgot about that.

            Please clap.

    5. Hyperion

      “While exploring a run for president in Nevada, Mayor Bill de Blasio endorsed a committee to study reparations for descendants of slaves and then went further — saying that the country needs “a program of actual redistribution” of wealth.”

      You first, asshole. How much of your income are you going to give? I think 90% sounds like a fair start.

      1. Gustave Lytton

        It’s always that way with these idiots. ‘Give up your money, your guns, your freedom. Me? We’re not talking about my stuff.’

        1. Hyperion

          Every time this subject comes up, I think about Dinesh D’Souza’s epic destruction of that poor kid who was advocating for reparations.

          1. Gustave Lytton

            https://youtu.be/tN9bu6CP318

            That’s painful to watch.

          2. Hyperion

            I’m not calling everyone a hypocrite, I’m calling YOU a hypocrite. LOL. That poor kid, his dumb teacher subjected him to that.

          3. Hyperion

            Also, when this topic comes up, I don’t like to fuck around. Let’s just cut straight to the chase. Why were my ancestors, the Neanderthals genocided? You’re responsible, now pay me or we cut out your livers or report you to the IRS. Choose the form of your destructor, assholes.

  13. Gustave Lytton

    Picked up a new leaf blower this weekend. Dom Quinto (if he truly did invent the blower) is one of the greatest Americans and should be on Mt Rushmore in place of TR. along with John Moses Browning.

    1. MikeS

      I prefer whomever invented the mulching blade.

      1. Gustave Lytton

        There’s room for that guy too!

    2. Hyperion

      If we weren’t such racists, Obama would be on there, right beside of Hillary.

    3. Spudalicious

      Mulching blades and backpack blowers.

      1. Gustave Lytton

        That’s what I got. I had a handheld for years until it finally died. I wish I had traded it in a long time ago.

        1. DEG

          When I got my backpack Echo leaf blower, it was love at first blow.

          These euphemisms.

          I kept the electric handheld leaf blower around though. It’s better suited for small jobs and getting in and round some of my landscaping.

  14. Hyperion

    I swear I am still buzzed from yesterday. Anyone ever had Elit vodka? I bought a bottle of it last night and just poured a glass. $70 bottle of vodka, fo realz. I think my wife is leaving me, cause I’m a total smartass bastard. I can’t help it, I came out that way. I can’t change me. It’s been tried.

    1. MikeS

      $70 vodka? Damn. Better taste like nothing but pure water+ethanol.

      1. Fourscore

        So, moonshine?

      2. Hyperion

        My wife liked the bottle. It’s purty.

      3. Francisco d’Anconia

        I never understood expensive vodka. It really all tastes the same to me. Wife and I did a blind taste test. I think it was Grey Goose, Kettle One, Sky and something else. I think we both picked Sky. And the diff was marginal, at best.

        But, of course, I have no taste.

        1. Akira

          My gripe with vodka is that it runs the gamut from “completely flavorless” to “if nail polish remover could go bad”. In other words, there’s no such thing as amazing vodka; just a totally neutral vodka, and it only gets worse from there.

        2. Fourscore

          As Hyp said, the bottle was mighty purty. There is a name for those that specialize in marketing, like the designers of record jacks, bodice rippers, etc. Packaging experts but occasionally they strike out, i.e. Edsel big time.

          I don’t shop the liquor stores any more but walk through once in a while. I am absolutely overwhelmed as to the variety and choices these days. In my youth we had peppermint snapps, now there are dozens, it seems. Vodka? Smirnoff and Gilbey’s. Today I don’t know. Its a great time to be a capitalist/consumer. I see the advertisements for wines, brands/prices and all the other things I don’t know about wine.

          1. Some of those bottles are breathtakingly beautiful. Sometimes I want to take up drinking just to have the bottle.

          2. Francisco d’Anconia

            I’m a sucker for that. Put it in a bottle that has anything to do with fly fishing or bird hunting and I’ll buy it.

          3. Left Hand of Radar

            Mo, you buy. I drink. You keep the bottle. See how easy that is?

          4. Tundra

            Lefty! Thanks for the TwinTone tip!

            I hope all is well with you.

          5. Deal! I just realized that you Glibs are my only friends who drink.

          6. blackjack

            I bet we make up for the difference, just fine.

          7. Francisco d’Anconia

            NO ONE NEEDZ 69 CHOICES OF VODKA!

          8. Hyperion

            The best vodka for the price, is Titos.

          9. Don Escaped Texas

            I’m not a vodka guy but end up drinking it with NewWife. Tito’s seems the cleanest and least radiatorish to me.

          10. Akira

            I used to get Titos, but then a bartender told me that Sobieski is just as good and costs less. I found this to be true when I tried a bottle.

  15. DEG

    White Tail Unidragon for the afternoon.

    1. Yusef drives a Kia

      Elysian Space dust, and a few Rasputin stouts leftover from last night

      1. DEG

        Old Rasputin is a damn fine beer. Enjoy!

    2. Yusef drives a Kia

      That looks Fantastic! Enjoy!

        1. DEG

          Nice.

          The new brewpub in town has an excellent coffee stout.

  16. Hyperion

    Anyone here play Elder Scrolls Online? I’d highly suggest it, on sale on Steam right now for $10. Supposedly 100s of hours of gameplay and you can do the entire thing single player. I went into a dungeon last night, which are supposedly multi-player to complete, and got through it just fine. There was a level 1 guy down there with me who was worthless (I’m level 5) and he got killed. But towards the end, there was someone down there who was one shot killing every enemy. Anyway, some tips if you decide to buy in.

    Turn the music volume down to about 15% and crank the dialogue volume up all the way. The voice acting is really good when you can actually hear it.

    Crank the FOV up to 110% both for first and third person.

    After you complete the first mission where you firebomb the slave ship, you talk to some bureaucrat who will give you back your strongbox. There is a bow in there. Equip it. You can fire that about as fast as you can tap the button, which will prove to be invaluable.

    1. Fatty Bolger

      I play it. Highly recommended for anybody who likes MMO’s, and definitely worth a shot even if you prefer single player RPG’s. Tons of single player gameplay, and the quests are interesting and are not the typical “go kill 5 pigs, now go kill 5 pigs again” you find in other games. The game scales with your level, so you can go anywhere or do whatever you feel like doing.

  17. Yusef drives a Kia

    I have been seeing these every day for the last week, coming from ENE, about Nellis AFB, definitely a rocket,
    https://photos.app.goo.gl/CZw7P4WLDhfY9DLu9

    1. Raven Nation

      Nellis? Then it’s most likely an ALIEN rocket.

      1. Suthenboy

        Mr. Lizard needs a vacation too.

      2. Yusef drives a Kia

        Elon aint tbe only one throwing up rockets….

        1. hayeksplosives

          I love the fact that NASA is now counting on Elon to get us back to the moon and also to ISS without begging the Russians for a ride.

          1. Spudalicious

            Did you see the interior of the crew capsule? The epitome of American sexy versus Russian drab.

      3. DEG

        I am having flashbacks to watching that two and a half hour Joe Rogan podcast with Alex Jones.

  18. Yusef drives a Kia

    Also if you adjust the contrast and the tone of the picture you’ll notice there’s a distinct rocket shape ahead of the combustion condensation that you see their check it out

  19. Gustave Lytton

    Has the inbred ginger cuck been laughed at already?

    https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47813894

    1. Tundra

      I laughed when he married the harridan.

      1. hayeksplosives

        Pretty sure she keeps his balls in her purse and is the motivation/director of his new-found virtue signaling.

        I liked him better when he served in Afghanistan and partied a lot. His old charity was helping vets cope with injury and PTSD.

        Now he’s a vegan hand-wringer.

        1. Tundra

          Right on. I can’t stand that chick.

          He was on his way to actually use his stupid life to do something cool and now he’s wasting oxygen.

          Sad.

    2. Suthenboy

      “That game shouldn’t be allowed. Where is the benefit of having it in your household?”

      Who the fuck is that? In what way is he qualified to decide what benefits me, doesnt benefit me or even to ask that question? I dont know who that guy is. Fuck him.

      1. Bob Boberson

        His ancestors wheedled their way into power by marrying their kids off to the kids of conquerors or something like that. Anyway the point is they married their cousins for generations to produce him and, even though we fought a revolution and seceded from that royalty nonsense, he is one of our betters, because reasons.

    3. Francisco d’Anconia

      That makes me sad. That’s his second strike in a couple days. I thought he was a good guy.

      1. Bob Boberson

        That ‘man of the people’ act was just so he could slay commoner poon. Now Meghan carries his balls around in her purse.

        1. Rhywun

          This sounds like another one of her hobby-horses. Christ, what a bitch.

      Who does that German usurper think he is anyway?

    1. DEG

      Nice!

    2. westernsloper

      I like it.

      This was in the sidelineup.

      Made me cringe

      1. Tundra

        This will fix it :

        https://youtu.be/ba44JRAjpV4

    3. Good stuff. I missed the posting on obscure bands awhile back. But in the genre of psychedelic rock revival, there’s a band called, Black Mountain that I’ve been digging on. Their latest…

      https://youtu.be/w881mu7JO2I

      1. Tundra

        Groovy! Thanks, man. I’ll check it out!

  20. Trials and Trippelations

    First sorry to jump in with a problem and kind of jump out (grilling dinner and keeping track of little kids)

    Glib Gear heads:
    I have been stewing over an incident that happened to my car. It was getting a state inspection and some maintenance work, and a mechanic backed it up with the drivers door and totally bent and misaligned the door
    https://imgur.com/jV34g5L
    https://imgur.com/m11hkYg

    It will be covered by the business’ liability insurance.
    My question or the advice I am looking for is
    -To me it appears the door needs to be replaced. Is that correct?
    -As the door needs to be replaced I do not think it’s out of line to demand that a Nissan dealer do the repair rather than a third party
    -Is my car doomed to wind noise and possible water leaking from the door, or should I replacement door fix that
    -Is the car unsafe to drive. It takes a huge push to close the door completely.

    At the end of this journey post repair I want to be compensated.
    Will this be noted as major collision damage on something like CarFax?
    So far the shop didn’t charge me for the maintenance work. I will be speaking with Corporate Monday because I need a rental replacement now due to an upcoming trip. I planned to talk about compensation if they did not mention it after the repair work is completed

    Thanks

    1. Tundra

      The car will be fine. It’s a staggeringly common accident.

      You are definitely within your rights to have it fixed where you want. I wouldn’t worth, though, if it’s a good place they use.

      They should be able to make it new. I wouldn’t worry about wind noise, etc. But don’t be afraid to bitch if there’s a problem.

      Carfax will be OK. Non structural.

      Sucks, but you’ll be fine. The dude that did it not so much…

      1. DEG

        I have had non-structural stuff show up on CarFax (minor collision with my previous car, damage was buffed out); however, that was a collision reported to insurance. I guess it depends on if an insurance company gets involved.

        Good luck T&T. I hope your car is made new.

        1. Tundra

          Oh it will be reported, but a dumb fuck driving the car out of a garage with the door open is pretty easy to explain

          1. Trials and Trippelations

            Should’ve refreshed i’ve got the incident report so I’ll continue to keep that in the file

      2. Gustave Lytton

        For body work, I don’t think there’s an advantage to a dealer. Ifaik, manufacturers don’t specify requirements for techs/shop like they do for regular repair work.

    2. DEG

      I’ve seen people drive with doors in worse shape than that, and I’ve ridden in vehicles with doors in worse shape than that. However, I don’t think I know anywhere near enough to say if that is safe to drive, especially as you’ve got kids.

      I don’t think it’s out of line to want the dealer to do the repair.

      1. hayeksplosives

        A dealer repair is probably the best bet if there were anything unsatisfactory about it. They can’t say “Well you should have gone to a dealer.”

    3. Trials and Trippelations

      Thanks for bringing some clearheadedness to the issue

      We usually drive our cars to the ground, but this one might be upgraded to in a few years. So this shouldn’t decrease the value too much?

      1. Tundra

        Fuck no.

        If the work is done right, no one will gaf.

        If they do, they don’t know shit about cars.

      I’m not a mechanic-type, just a car enthusiast. First of all, that sucks, sorry.

      I could be mistaken, but this type of work may be best done by a body shop and not the dealer. My recommendation is to call a few Nissan dealers and ask for a reference to a body shop. Or, call luxury brand dealers like Mercedes, Land Rover, Audi, etc., and ask for a reference to a body shop. My thought is that luxury owners may be more diligent about getting their vehicle repaired “right” by “approved” body shops. Those shops can be in high demand and may not be able to take your car in for a week or two.

      I would certainly inquire about where the business intends to send your vehicle to be fixed, then immediately jump on google and start reading reviews. Insurance companies want vehicles taken to shops that do the cheapest work that generally satisfies customers. But if it checks out on google reviews then it will probably be fine.

      1. Fourscore

        My insurance company (USAA) has already done the leg work and I’m guessing yours has too. Ask them for their list/recommendations.

        1. Trials and Trippelations

          The mechanic’s insurance will be doing the legwork, but taking Aus’ advice I’ll look into where the luxury brands go

    5. Trials and Trippelations

      Thank y’all so much for the insights.

      1. Trials and Trippelations

        Just realized my tarot for last week predicted car repair ?

        Heh…I drove a ’78 Wagoneer for almost 2 years that had the 2 back doors closed by a ratchet strap pulled between them, across the backseat.

  21. Bob Boberson

    Ok Glibs, it’s time for relationship woes and TMI with Bob Boberson:

    Three years ago I went to hang out with an old friend in his home town. There I met his entire family, to include his legendarily hot sister whom I’d seen in pictures, teased him about, but never actually met prior. The weekend was fun and uneventful. I sensed a mutual attraction between her and I but, being that she was married, did nothing but act the gentleman. After the fact I was informed that my intuition was correct which made me feel good but take no further action either.

    Fast forward to now. She’s getting divorced and reached to me almost immediately (we haven’t spoken since that weekend three years ago). There seems to be a scary amount of commonality and she seems very eager to make up for the time she lost in a loveless marriage. My only hesitation is, should there be a cooling off period? Is there a red flag I’m missing? She’s separated but not divorced and we’ve agreed to not meet in person until the divorce is finalized….

    /Braces for impact.

    1. Scruffy Nerfherder

      As with most things, it highly depends on the people involved.

      Lorena Bobbitt was freshly single at one point as well.

      That said, I see no reason to not go forward with it. No risk, no reward.

      1. Bob Boberson

        Thanks, a post-divorcee is new territory for me.

        1. Scruffy Nerfherder

          I think it’s half the adult population now, hard to avoid.

          1. Bob Boberson

            and I’m not opposed, it was bound to happen, just trying to parse out if I’m a rebound or not as Neph alluded to below…..

    2. westernsloper

      Chuck it up her. Carry on.

    3. Francisco d’Anconia

      Bang away!

    4. Not Adahn

      I was in your position. It didn’t last, but the sex was great. Have fun.

    5. Sean

      You’re not getting any younger. What are you waiting for?

      Worse that could happen is that she (or the ex) murders you in your sleep.

      *shrug*

    6. Nephilium

      Depends on if you’re looking for something long term or short term.

      1. Bob Boberson

        Can you elaborate? I’m 100% positive this is not just a booty call on her part….

        1. Nephilium

          Sounds like you’re a rebound. There’s nothing wrong with that, but those are generally not a long term deal. Of course, I’m probably one of the last people on this site to be taking relationship advice from.

      2. Francisco d’Anconia

        NEVER look for long term. That shit happens on it’s own. Don’t force it.

    7. Spudalicious

      Not if you don’t mind being a potential rebound to a needy, making up for lost time, fresh divorcee.

      1. Bob Boberson

        Damn. Well thats exactly what I asked for. I appreciate brutal honesty.

        1. Spudalicious

          Sorry. Been on both sides of that equation in my life.

      2. Not Adahn

        You forgot “legendarily hot.”

        Life is too short to not fuck hot women who want you.

        1. Spudalicious

          Been there, done that. It was an awesome time and the wounds eventually healed. That’s why you need to evaluate your risk tolerance.

          1. prolefeed

            Just fuck her already. If you start getting red flags, bail. Don’t overthink it.

          2. Bob Boberson

            I’m going to assume that reply was for me and not Spud. It’s slightly more complicated than that…..she is one of my best friends sister after all.

          3. Tundra

            Don’t fuck her. If she’s cool, go have some fun. See how it goes.

            She might have called you because you’re not a douche. Why not see if there’s anything there?

          4. Bob Boberson

            Thanks Tundra, that helps. And thats exactly why she says she called me. Evidently I made an impression because that weekend seems to have stuck with her.

            And there does seem to be the potential for more. Similar values, goals, etc. There might be some logistical challenges but she seems way more grounded than the girls I usually date.

          5. Spudalicious

            Good luck!

          6. Tundra

            Good luck. Don’t overthink!

        2. Life is too short to not fuck hot women who want you.

      It’s Mackenzie Bezos, isn’t it?

      1. Spudalicious

        Would.

      2. Bob Boberson

        If that was the case I’d be asking for strategies on how to cash in.

        1. Not Adahn

          sabotage her birth control

        2. Scruffy Nerfherder

          I think you could definitely score a free Prime membership

      3. Fourscore

        With 35B she really is a hottie.

    9. Aus

      Legendarily hot?

      Dude yes! Crinkle her

    10. Trials and Trippelations

      My best friend is not dating/ marrying my sister, but if that happened if I thought they were a decent match I’d be ok with it.

      Certainly I’ve heard of best friends dating/ marrying siblings and its been ok. In those cases I think things were serious

      1. Bob Boberson

        To a degree this was orchestrated by him I think….

    11. DEG

      Sounds like you’ll be the rebound guy.

    12. Suthenboy

      Three years and still smoke?
      Go for it. Go hard.

    1. Gustave Lytton

      How fucking stupid do you have to be to think that isn’t a violation of labor law?

      1. Scruffy Nerfherder

        Actor stupid

        1. Sean

          Liberal stupid.

    2. Akira

      I wonder if that’s even legal.

      I don’t see it going over too well if a job listing explicitly stated that all African-American applicants have to attend training on proper English or something.

    3. Aus

      Damn… too bad some enterprising person didn’t jump on that and complete the audition, receive the lesser pay and do the “training”, then sue them. That’s be a quick and juicy settlement. IANAL but seems like a slam dunk settlement for a substantial sum. Maybe in the high tens of thousands?

      1. Why is that too bad? Using bad law to fuck the ‘right ‘ people is petty and in no way increases liberty, allow the casting company and the actors to freely associate, that’s the only right thing to do.

        1. Scruffy Nerfherder

          Too bad they’ll never reciprocate the sentiment.

          1. Two wrongs…blah, blah…look myself in the mirror…blah, blah…deserve ain’t got nothing to do with it…

          2. Scruffy Nerfherder

            Maybe not, but equality of application of the law is a worthwhile goal if only because it serves the purpose of incentivizing people to get rid of bad law. See the disparity on drug possession cases between whites and blacks.

            Besides which, I guarantee that they would agitate for penalties on employers who discriminate against their preferred groups.

          3. serves the purpose of incentivizing people to get rid of bad law

            Citation needed.

            It is just as likely to engrain the bad law into the collective consciousness.

            See the disparity on drug possession cases between whites and blacks.

            I could be mistaken but we’re slowly getting some criminal justice reform and I don’t recall any crack down on white people getting off easy, seems just pointing out the injustice was enough.

        2. Aus

          It’s a clown world, I’m here to be amused.

    4. Heroic Mulatto

      *shrugs*

      Some people pay a dominatrix for less abuse. Getting some money out of it sounds like a good deal to me.

  22. Raven Nation

    Umm, from a blurb about a podcast interview: “Is the University of Chicago-blessed, “greed is good” near-term profits approach to business wearing out its welcome?”

  23. prolefeed

    From the earlier thread on Jussie Smollet (sp?):

    prolefeed on April 7, 2019, 11:40 AM

    In the absence of a conviction, any competant lawyer would argue that forcing a person to pay the police for investigating someone is a violation of due process and a huge power grab.

    “We tried and failed to convict you. Now pay us for putting you through the wringer.”

    Rhywun on April 7, 2019, 11:45 AM

    Yeah, I don’t see this going anywhere other than wasting yet more taxpayer dollars. Sorry, Chicago – you got played.

    R C Dean on April 7, 2019, 3:42 PM

    Except they didn’t try. A grand jury indicted which isp robably close to a lock that there is a preponderance fo the evidence that Jussie done it.

    My take on it is that the presumption of innocence still applies when indicted by a grand jury, especially if you’re a ham (actor) sandwich. An indiction only means that there was enough evidence that the grand jurors decided to not pre-emptively toss out the prosecution’s case as nonsense, and move toward having a different jury judge the prosecution’s claim that a presumptively innocent person is in fact guilty.

    If a government agency could hit presumptively innocent people up for the cost of an investigation at this point, the government could thoroughly punish people who were later found not guilty, or in this case where the charges have already been dropped and it didn’t even get to a trial.

    I don’t really understand this astrology stuff.

    1. Sean

      Maybe a telephone psychic would be more to your liking. I’ve seen they’re making a comeback. ?

      1. Scruffy Nerfherder

        Can I get a psychic Asian massage?

    2. Aus

      Can someone explain it to me?

      “Cancer: King of Wands – Friendly dark man, an honest and conscientious person, a father”

      King of Wands, is that a reference to penis? If so, then that makes sense because I’ve been slaying lately.
      Friendly dark man, well, I’m not dark so that doesn’t make sense. Although my humor can be, and my fears of a 1984 future are dark.
      Honest and conscientious person – Ok that one is spot on.
      Father – Well I have been getting serious about possible dating a girl that has two kids.

      Am I doing this right?

      1. Rhywun

        I think it means a friendly dark man will be entering your life. ?

        1. Jarflax

          Well not so much his life as him.

  25. juris imprudent

    For Rufus – this video; the references to Canada are kinda scattered, but there is one point we he dwells on Trudeau, and I’m pretty sure you will enjoy it. That’s about 26:20. There was another section where he talked about the next election prospects.
