ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ WAS GIVEN A NEW HAT BY ZED. IT HAS A NICE MESSAGE ON IT. HOWEVER, WHEN HAULING SOME GRAIN THROUGH A UNIVERSITY TOWN, A SCRAWNY BRUTAL, DRESSED IN BLACK, ATTEMPTED TO SEIZE IT. ZARDOZ PROMPTLY FLEW ONWARD, DRAGGING SAID BRUTAL FOR SEVERAL YARDS BEFORE HE TUMBLED OFF AND THUDDED ON THE PAVEMENT. ZARDOZ WAS PUZZLED BY THIS REACTION. HOWEVER, THE TABERNACLE INFORMED ZARDOZ THAT HE HAD BEEN ASSAULTED BECAUSE HAT WAS CLOSE TO THAT OF THE BRUTAL EXECUTIVE BRANCH LEADER WITH THE SENTIENT HAIR.
ZARDOZ HOPES THIS DOES NOT CONTINUE TO MAKE HIM A TARGET. ZARDOZ IS BUSY ENOUGH, HAULING GRAIN, ATTEMPTING TO RUN BRUTALCART, GIVING THE GIFT OF THE GUN AND THE GIFT OF THE LINK. BUT THE CHOSEN ONES HAVE ASSEMBLED HERE FOR LINKS, THEREFOR, RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE LINK! GO FORTH….AND COMMENT.
- SPEAKING OF THE SENTIENT HAIR BEARER…HE APPEARS TO HAVE GOTTEN A MUSIC PERSON FREED FROM THE VIKINGS GRASP.
- ZARDOZ EXPECTS THE CHINESE PLA BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS TO BE CALLED IN…SHORTLY.

All hail Zardoz!
It’ll be interesting to see what happens in Hong Kong.
At this point I’m leaning less “interesting” and more “heartbreaking”.
That’s a given. That Hong Kong is China’s ATM will be the only thing to slow them down. It’s still very possible China gives them the “Tibet” treatment.
Yeah, I would love for there to be a positive outcome here, but I’m afraid it’s a matter of time before the mainland squashes this and brings Hong Kong to heel. Again, this is one of those situations where I think the best thing the US could do is make a blanket offer of asylum to anyone from Hong Kong who wants to get out while they still can.
Oh, man I was still following a few threads in the previous post.
But it’s cool to have a fresh one.

Robby on Tucker. Again.
Fruit sushi will get a full time Fox gig at some point soon.
There go the cocktail party invitations.
I wonder if he’s learned how to change a tire?
He was on Andrew Wilcow’s radio show on Sirius XM radio yesterday. Really getting around. Wonder if the book is selling?
Robby wrote a book? Car repair?

GIVING THE GIFT OF THE GUN
I am bidding on some gun and ammo auctions. I need to stop this buying spree and do more shooting instead.
“The demonstration has gone far beyond the nature of a peaceful demonstration, it’s really turning out to be chaotic and violent and we should no longer allow them to continue this reprehensible behavior,” Zhang said. “We do not think that it’s in the long term interest of anyone.”
How long until the tanks roll in?
An African elephant was caught on camera trying to cop a feel of bikini-clad Playboy model Francia James, who was visiting the Myrtle Beach Safari petting zoo in South Carolina.
She looks a little too….. fake.
” I need to stop this buying spree and do more shooting instead.”
I’ve been through this. You have to think long term It’ll balance out.
A little while ago I realized that if I hadn’t acquired so many old guns, I could have had a TR-6 long ago. Instead, I’m still saving up for a TR-6. I could sell some stock for it, but I’m not.
There are a couple of C&R guns I’m looking at. Nothing super fancy, just a Yugoslavian Tokarev, a CZ-82 and a CZ-50. Still, it’s hard to justify buying new guns when I’ve got three that I haven’t even shot yet…but I’ll find a way.
Correct number of guns to own?
n + 1
Where n = number of guns currenly owned.
I just put a bid on a 1942 Winchester Model 12 Black Diamond trap gun.
We’ll see.
I have bids out on a 1898 dated US Krag Model 1898, a Lee-Speed, a 1897 dated RIC Lee-Enfield Carbine, and a couple lots of 7.5mm Swiss ammo.
I’m losing some of the 7.5mm Swiss ammo and the RIC carbine. I have a few days to decide if I want to go higher. I might on the RIC carbine.
Pikeland Pils is a good pilsner.
I’m currently trying the Schofferhofer Pomegranate, which is a nice change of pace from the grapefruit. Reading the reviews is entertaining as there are people trying to review it as a hefeweizen.
Hmm… I’m not sure about that. Pomegranate in a Hefeweizen? I don’t know.
For the best taste enjoy ice-cold
Right up there with “She has a great personality”
It’s more shandy, the only thing that is close to a hefe on it is the sediment.

Lul. Not my imgur pic, but one of PGI’s flimsy excuses for Epic Exclusivity was “Improved Discoverability”.
How’s that working out?
The Epic store is getting more annoying as it snatches up games I’m interested in.
I just regard those titles as having been cancelled. It’s a shame.
I just consider it more time for me to work on the Steam backlog. Recently picked up Dishonored 2 (and the stand alone-DLC) and Fallout 4. Fallout 4 is… disappointing to say the least. Dishonored 2 at least has some fun in the first hour or so.
I’ve got such a backlog of games that half the time I get overwhelmed and just go watch TV or do a Hunt-a-Killer or something. Humble Bundle does not help, but at least I’ve stopped buying everything as soon as it goes on sale. Now I wait until it either shows up in a bundle or goes on deep discount. Also, GOG is starting to figure a little more prominently.
I’ve been a Fallout fan since the original. I kept hearing people rave about 4… I should have realized they hadn’t played any of the earlier ones. FFS, how do you get rid of skills in Fallout?
I picked up FO4GOTY for $15, and the Dishonored 2 bundle for $12, so I’m not out that much. My Steam library currently has over 675 games in it, so it’s not like I’m hurting for games to play. I’ve picked up some retro games on GOG just because it’s easier then trying to get my old copies to run on modern hardware. I’m more likely then not going to pick up Cyberpunk on GOG just to help give them more support.
My review of Fallout4 – I feel I got my money’s worth. I’m not going to rave, nor rant regarding it.
Right now I’m playing through Valkyria Chronicles 4. It’s easier to think of it as not playing a wargame, but playing a war anime. My main complaint is that they grade the battles based upon speed of completion, but I find systematically dismantling the defense to be more fun than rushing to the objective like a reckless idiot.
Is that the original UT featured slightly more prominently than whatever’s circled?
*squints*
Looks like it.
How can you argue with Computer Gaming World Magazine’s 1999 GOTY?
Shit, I didn’t even have a computer in 1999.
I remember when Unreal came out the joke was that the title described the hardware requirements.
Epic does make the Unreal Engine.
The point is, the new game is lower on the list than the older title that isn’t much of a draw.
Because I’m willing to wager the price of a new game that the one and only reason to go Epic exclusive is the payout from Epic. The fact that some Devs who used Kickstarter to raise funds deciding to make that change (after promising Steam keys) is the part that’s really starting to irk me.
Oh, it pisses me right off. Compete on the merits of your offerings rather than trying to hold the games hostage.
The MechWarrior 5 PreOrder was advertized as being for Steam keys, including three days after they secretly signed the deal with Epic. A deal that they didn’t openly announce or address until some web developer ‘accidentally’ updated the FAQ on their web site early. They still haven’t made an announcement in a manner that would reach the customers, trying to avoid the refund deluge. There is such a backlog of refund requests that the poor schlubs on the helpdesk are waaay behind. The company has been utterly silent since.
The snaking out releases from Steam is where I think Epic crossed a line. I think the first was the latest Metro game, which had pre-sales on Steam, then went Epic exclusive. For a decent write-up about the reasons that Steam can’t just match Epic’s dev cut, check this out.
(And thanks to whichever Glib first linked that site, I’ve read way too many words there)
If a game is announced as an exclusive when first announced, I’m not bothered.
If it’s snatched away during/after the preorders, that’s unacceptable.
I guess I don’t mind digital storefronts competing. I just want everything parked in one widget.
I don’t care if they’re competing.
I care if they say one thing, then dump a “Surprise, we’re actually using this shitty platform because they dumped a million in our back pocket” at the last minute.
Huh. I haven’t followed this at all. I’m not a “hardcore” gamer but competition with Steam seems OK, ja?
Checking out their website reveals zero information about their purported Mac support. I mean, I know 75% of the games won’t work but at least tell me which ones will.
commodious: I agree with UCS here. It’s one thing for competing platforms to exist; FFS, I’ve got Origin, Uplay, Epic Game Store, GOG Galaxy, and Steam all installed on my machine. It’s another to allow a game to do presales on Steam, and then less then a month before release announce it’s releasing on the Epic store exclusively for a year.
Rhywun: To my knowledge there is zero Mac/Linux support on the Epic Game Store, this is currently a fight over the Windows market.
@Neph
The wikipedia page claims macOS support. Oh well.
Sure, that’s scummy.
I read that someone reputable is talking about putting together a storefront aggregator to facilitate parking all your games in one place. I can’t remember who, though.
(Useful as always.)
Rhywun: I believe that’s for the store itself, which is also the launcher for Fortnite, which has been ported to everything with a processor at this point. Not for the games they sell.
Heh I’m not going to download a store with one game that I have no interest in playing.
Will continue to observe from the sidelines.
Good, because there’s more than a little evidence that the launcher software goes crawling your system and harvesting data, even when you try to tell it not to (got caught reading Steam files from the harddrive instead of talking to the APIs)
That’s uncool.
Went to make a g&t and found I’m out of t. Club soda isn’t the same.
Ever since I discovered Negronis (and developed an appreciation of Martinis) I don’t waste my time on G&T any more.
I had no vermouth so I used cognac instead for my martini. I rate it “drinkable”
Ha I tried something similar with the bottom finger of cognac I had once. It didn’t rise to the level of “drinkable”.
Well, to be fair, anything that doesn’t make me go blind, gets at least drinkable.
*on serious note, I can’t stand sweet drinks. I had a cousin serve me some sickly sweet coffee moonshine and it was terrible.
Mixing what’s left over is generally not a good way to try to invent a new cocktail. There are definite times for not running out of alcohol.
Yeah, you pointed that out to me once and ain’t that the truth.
Sometimes needs must but I’ve learned my lesson.
Of course, there’s the other side of the coin.
/looks at his liquor and beer cellar
I really need to start drinking more…
HA! I was out of Bourbon and ginger ale last week for my Bourbon/ginger/cherry/peach juice yummyness. I tried substituting Everclear and seltzer… not good; not good at all.
If you have the empty bottle of vermouth just pour some gin in it.
Shake
And proceed from there.
I usually just threaten the gin with the vermouth anyway so it works out the same for me for the last one.
Or it did. I’ve given up Martin’s.
They are the last step on the ladder towards pure alcoholism for a serious drinker.
If one can handle just one or two fine for them but I can’t.
OK, I’ll be honest – I don’t get the “wave a bottle of vermouth over the glass of gin” thing. Straight gin is not appealing. It needs something more than vapors to become an actual cocktail.
Old fashioned mister. One spray of vermouth over the gin.
Get better gin.
Not a Campari fan.
Dead to me.
Churchill’s idea of a good Martini was the best:

The Genius of The Last Jedi
Good lord, read a book, take up macrame, perfect the gravy in your pot pie. Sure, to each there own but this is bordering on mental illness. Not quite thinking you’re a boy but your mother won’t admit it crazy, but devoting this much time and thought to a Sci-fi movie should be setting off ‘I need help’ bells.
Be interested in what I’m interested in or GTFO.
Never said GTFO, “Seek help and try to be a better person” is not a judgmental statement…well it is but it’s meant in the best possible way.
I said it. Never said you said it. Seriously though, who cares if someone spends their free time deeply interested in something? Personally, I enjoy looking at stuff people are enthusiastic about. You know, things like handmade gaming tables. 😉
It’s the vindictive criticism, the tearing down of what someone else built because it doesn’t’ fit with how you want it to be. As I said to each there (sic) own. I would however suggest a less soul crippling pastime.
I only watched for a couple minutes. Not my cup-o-tea. Star Wars, Star Trek? Don’t care. But, that video got a few chuckles. “Proving that you can get a haircut from a vending machine.” That’s funny.
He is just ragging on the (bad, no good, pos) film. He does it for a lot of things and it is hilarious. Lighten up.
Meh, It’s facile. Overplayed ‘Hot takes’ as edgy commentary. Gimme something worth chewing on if you’re going to criticize, “Herp Derp, stupid SJW character, herp derp” is not a worthwhile insight.
I don’t think it is facile. It is commentary directed at the flaws of the story. As meticulous as you often are I am surprised you do not take the art of storytelling under more serious consideration.
I’m guessing “meticulous” was an accidental autocorrect.
It was somehow derived from “tedious”, probably.
But I’ve been drinking. And I’m a nice drunk.
Mendacious isn’t even close to meticuolus.
I admire your restraint.
Yet somehow you knew. You’re a gamer, Hype.

Hmmm, Zardoz hauls grain and gives the gift of the gun, must be a native of Indiana.
Holy fuck Trump is a racist. What he was really saying in that tweet was that he is equating A$AP to Rocky who was a garlic stench ridden wop who should have gone back to his home country back when it was ok to hate wops. He obviously wants A$AP to go back to Africa where most of the residents of Harlem are from.
(I am going to pitch that to Don Lemon)
I don’t get it. What does, “As money as possible” mean?
Dude flew home on his own plane so maybe that is what “As Money as possible” means.
I’m glad the guy got out, the furriners they gave a whompin to had it coming like few people I’ve ever seen.
Sure, but if this part is true, he got off easy.
He said: “We have three people who throw out punches and kicks against a person who is lying down.
Footage leading up to the beating:
https://youtu.be/m2OLIowzwQI
They may have gotten carried away but treating people like these guys were doing is a recipe for disaster.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t show the part where the dude is already on the ground and still taking the beating. That’ll get you in trouble with Mr Law in most countries.
Should it get in trouble with Mr Law though? Two assholes harassing a group of people not wanting any trouble and then one of the no trouble group being assaulted (head phones over the head). The two idiots deserved an ass kicking and they got it.
Sometimes as asskicking is both deserved and needs to punished legally. There has to be some legal limit to how badly you can beat someone even when they totally started it.
While NAP allows for self defense it doesn’t allow for retributive or vindictive violence. I.e. kicking him when he’s down or beating a guy because his buddy aggressed you.
it doesn’t allow for retributive or vindictive violence
Oh? My copy of the NAP says no such thing. In fact, it seems to frown on initiative violence only. Perhaps vindictive violence could be considered initiative, but retributive violence seems to be per se outside the purview of the NAP, at least in my view.
There has to be some legal limit to how badly you can beat someone even when they totally started it.
IMHO that limit is beating them to death and is sometimes called unintentional homicide which will land your ass in prison. Pull back before that……..they deserved it.
The NAP’s a bitch, If someone straight cold sucker punches you and then backs off in a ‘hands up’ defenseless posture as much as you may want to paste him one you can’t (well you can but you’re violating the NAP) It would be the same as if you see a guy who kicked your ass seven years ago and you walk up out of the blue and knee cap him.
Really? As long as I you don’t kill the guy? I put it at: stop when the threat is mostly gone.
“Measured force response” is a thing at the personal level and beyond.
How do you know the threat is gone? Knock him down so he later chases after you and hits you or one of your friends in the head? Fuck that, cripple the fucker. What are we talking about here? A street fight or something else where this violator of the NAP will just say, “oh sorry my bad have a nice night I didn’t mean to fuck with you for the past hour.”
Why just cripple him, best kill the fucker. In fact I’m going to look up that asshole Aaron Robins who kicked my ass in sixth grade he might still be a threat.
Back to ASAP’s case to avoid confusion. Giant guy and his crew vs two scrawny twerps. Once they had beaten the shit out them and had them bleeding and fucked up on the ground, they continued wailing on the guys. That’s according to the prosecutor. True or not, I dunno. If true, I’d say they exceeded necessary force for self defense by a mile.
So that’s “according to the prosecutor”. Is there video of this like there is video of the whole entire rest of this idiotic saga? Was the Swedish version of Kamala Harris the prosecutor in this case?
And Hyp, what happened in sixth grade and what may happen in the same evening is two totally different things and is why you are always wrong.
That’s why I said “If true”. I don’t trust the fucking prosecutor more than I trust ASAP and his crew.
Okay, so if someone kicks my ass at 5:30pm I only have til midnight to hunt them down? what if I see them at 4am the next morning? where exactly is the line. Like I said NAP is a bitch, once someone stops aggressing against you you can no longer aggress against them even if they deserve it. aggress.
As much as I like arguing over a story I don’t even care about other than it is funny because some guys from Harlem USA!!!! threw a beat down on some assholes who deserved it (imho) I have to go to bed. Work tomorrow for me. Also, in that video why would you visit there? It looks like New Jersey.
How long you have to beat someones ass after a beating all revolves around what Not Adahn has said the previous Sunday.
I haven’t seen anything beyond the posted link – i.e. the actual alleged beat-down. If what I’m hearing is true – he beat a man while he was down – that’s absolutely going to get him in trouble.
Fuck ’em. Seriously.

Ha-ha. No shit, right? Doing internet stuff on a phone is like watching a silent movie without the dialog cards.
I won’t deny that.
And thanks! I’m working on my next one, but Im going to get more material before I submit it, this is the ulti.ate place to publish silly articles, history ,food,beer, guns, submit dammit!

Does work better than “for a Tesla M3” but that is the car I’m reduced to staring at in the garage and polishing the fenders while I wait for my broken back to heal and for my 6 months license revocation (for medical reasons, for those who don’t know already) to run out the clock.
Sigh.
Damn. That is the shits. There’s nothing to be done that can shorten that time? I suppose not.

“Wouldn’t” paired with “does it”? I can’t believe any woman would have sex with a man who so badly mismatched verbs.
That’s why I married her. No speaky engrish.
That’s a total kink in Japan.
I’ve found being very clever with my English is not especially attractive to women, or anyone.
I very recently paired “Bloody-minded” with “sanguine,” and there’s been no movement on that. I’m disappointed in her, and in myself.
This sentence hurt my brain. I demand reparations.

This makes me picture a southern gentleman slapping a man with his glove and saying “I demand satisfaction, suh”

Satisfaction? Just give him a pair of tix to the Daytona infield and a turkey fryer.

All you’ve got are big titted whores. For love’s sake, give me a lady I want to respect.
And by respect, I want to treat like a whore.
But, like, my whore.
Shit. I may have a Gawain situation on my hands.
Lady on the street, chef in the kitchen, whore in the bedroom?
Also, here’s a lady who clearly has culture and breeding.

I particularly appreciate that she doesn’t have a daft expression on her face, with a finger stuck to her bottom lip like a toddler.
Her expression reads like she might actually be able to tell a man exactly what she wants.
Excellent usage of “daft”. That doesn’t get enough play.
she might actually be able to tell a man exactly what she wants
Like that’s ever happened.
Clearly we’ve never met
And Mr. Splosives has what, exactly, to complain about?
I once witnessed her tell the waiter exactly what beverage she would like.
Not yet, sounds like.
Give him time; he’ll think of something.
And he does have to be my chauffeur for 6 months so I am a bit of a burden that way.

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.

Not quite your age and if I stopped smoking and drinking I could go another forty-fifty years but why?
Happy Joy-Joy to you Denver! The good news is that it’s all downhill from 50 and the bad news is that it’s all downhill from 50. Drink up!

First he begs for mercy and then says he is going to appeal.

I really disdain that sort of language.
Second. It’s either THE truth, or it’s not. I can believe her statement was THE truth, but that’s all that needs to be said.

Anyone here know a good way to track down a font? I’m wondering if there is a font that matches the Schmidt Beer logo. Jacob, not Christian.
I assume it is stand alone artwork and not an actual font, but if I could find something close I’d be tickled.
I won’t tickle you, sorry Mike
Even if I ask nicely?
Well, if you ask nice, but no reach arounds, OK?
Just the feet.
It’s rather Celtic
You think so? Other than sans serif, I can’t think of any good descriptors to help narrow down the search. I’ve been scrolling through fonts at DaFont.com and I’m getting cross eyed trying to find something.
Looks like they had a couple other fonts in their advertising. One that’s essentially the same as Schlitz as well as a more traditional Germanic font. Germanic is easy, there are a ton of them if you DuckDuckGo “Germanic fonts”.
If you need to match up with the logo you linked, I’d suggest asking SugarFree.
The second link is from the “other” Schmidt brewery, but yes, there were a few different fonts over the years. I’ll run it by SF tomorrow if he’s around. Thanks!
Oooh, right. Didn’t check the locations. And I forgot that pre-prohibition, there were a ton of breweries in this country.
Thanks, ladies. By which I mean thanks for that promise, because Jeebus…
“ask Sugarfree”*
*begins to shudder
Looks close to a rounded Gothic/Blackletter font.
Here’s a somewhat similar modern version
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Germania+One
That is close. I kinda like it. I’d like to match the logo, but if not, this could work. Thanks!
There are websites that guide you through it – easy to find, tho I don’t remember the exact URL.
/been there many times
PS it can be a pain if you only have a few letters to work with
“Easy! Barely an inconvenience!”
It’s literally as easy as doing a search for something like “find font” or “identify font”.
*grumps to the corner* “Nobody got my joke. Assholes…”
I got it, Festus.
And Rhy, I tried WhatTheFont but wasn’t having any luck. I found a few others, am trying now.
HELLO! Look at my comment! Sheesh.
?
I suspected a reference I didn’t get so decided to be an asshole about it. You’re welcome.
Much obliged!
Font Squirrel
They have a font identifier as well.
Thanks, SP. No luck with the squirrel. Gonna try some different sites.
Yeah, just looked at it. That’s hand drawn. Know any calligraphers? They could easily match it. Then if you needed more than for a logo, you can map it and create a digital font easily.
Damn. OK, well maybe that’s good as I probably don’t want to completely copy it. I’ll just keep looking for something close.

OT: Rhywun – I don’t know if you’ve heard this band, but definitely underrated – The Organ. Kind of Souixsie meets Morrisey and steals The Cure’s bassist in 2004.
Their big breakthrough hit was “Razor Blades and Long Sleeves”. The B-side is “I Wonder Who Will Attend My Funeral”.
No, it was Steven Smith.
Not joking.

I have an announcement. Donald Trump is a fucking incel and deserves to perish. He fucked my wife. He took his small, skinny penis out and fucked her bare. That’s right. He thought he was entitled to my wife’s pussy from her saying thank you when he picked up change. He came in her and now she’s pregnant and we have to abort it. Im pro-life so this decision is hard as hell. I wish I could fucking split his guts out. Yknow what? I’m gonna fucking hurt him back. I’m gonna fuck his asshole till it’s the size of a fucking quarter. That’s right. His asshole is gonna be raw as shit. I’ll even piss in his fucking mouth. That’s right, all my piss, right in his fucking mouth! You hear that Donald? Get a mouth full of this STD infected PISS

What the fuck did you just say about me, you little statist? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class from the Cato Institute, and I’ve been involved in numerous ballot access petitions, and I have over 300 confirmed electoral defeats. I am trained in gorilla politics and I’m the top debater in the entire US Libertarian Party. You are nothing to me but just another authoritarian. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of anarcho-capitalists across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, duopolist. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your two-party system. You’re fucking liberated, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can spoil your election in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my grassroots organizing. Not only am I extensively trained in non aggression, but I have access to the entire Ron Paul Congressional Library and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable federal reserve off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re going to have to pay taxes you goddamm idiot

Yeah, I just scanned it the first time but that was really good.
Hanging out, waiting in line to get seats for the Ichikawa-Edogawa fireworks. This is an annual, traditional Japanese fireworks display.
I am the advance party for my family – here to secure seats for my wife and boys. Of course I have a cooler with beer and a small flask of scotch in case I sweat out the alcohol faster than beer can deliver it.
Nice. Get of my lawn, er, I mean tarp!
We got a set of contributor tickets. Folding chairs.
Beaucoup nubile, Japanese females and MILFs. With the sun going down, a gentle breeze, and a nice buzz going (and the family not here yet) it’s pretty close to heaven.

For anybody who showed up later and wants to know WTF I’m talking about…
Heh. Shy Asian girl at work that helped me rescue a cat finally said my name last week. It has two R’s and an L. It was pletty adolable.
My full name has five “L”s and an “R”. And most Japanese believe it means something totally unrelated.

A couple years ago, I went through a few months listening to Zeppelin exclusively. I came away with a renewed appreciation for this, and this.
Solid choices. John Paul Jones knew a bass groove even though it is buried in most of their tunes.

Sorry about the shitty work.
Thanks. It’s the backend of retail grocery so, par for the course. One boss is trying to order lots of merch and push it out, other boss is bending over backwards to cut hours and save on payroll which leaves me with not enough people or time to fully stock the store. Eh, la, la… as far as the rest of the world goes, I likely have it pretty easy so mustn’t grumble.
We live for grumble. Rock on, Iobot!
What Festus says
Good Lord. I have been reading Spiked for a while, which I do now and then, and I am reminded how even free speech advocates outside the US are anything but. That is not counting the non-US Glibs we have here.
I use the term ‘pinko’ now and then inappropriately. I know what it means. Pink, not fully red. We have no shortage of them here (or full-on reds either) but the rest of the Anglosphere is infested with them. Except for some small minority humans really are just herd animals.
I will go to my grave never being able understand why some folk fear speech to such a degree as to ban it.
I once had someone tell me “I cant refute a single argument you have made. I know they are all correct but I cant accept the conclusion they lead to. It doesn’t matter what you say I won’t change my mind.”
I don’t know for sure if he knew what he was saying but at least he was honest. Most people just scream “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”
Fear. Fear is the root of it.
That poor creature that attacked me and landed me in surgery was mentally ill. Yep. Crazy isn’t just for people. I don’t know what was going on in his head but I could see fear in his eyes. All he had to do was lay on the couch in the air conditioning, eat gravy laced food and get scratched on the head. We never hit him, never yelled at him, never did anything to him but coddle him. Someone had abused him and he had some kind of deep irrational fear of people. The result was violence. (Whoever is responsible better hope to God I never find out who they are)
People aren’t all that different. If they feel threatened they lash out. Shutting down speech you disagree with definitely falls into that category.
Well put Suthern. I have that same talk about fear and knee jerk reactions with my dad. He became a hard authoritarian after 9-11 out of fear.
I still like75% of what I read on Spiked. There is an active commentariot there that calls them out on the progressive creep.
Yeah, Brendan O’Neill has been regularly lambasted by the commentariat lately. Brutally. I think the guy has decided that being a professional troll will get him into the right cocktail parties.
