Happy Monday! My co-worker who was wearing the architect hat for this project is leaving for greener pastures in a month. So I just received a field promotion to architect. Whee. I need to ask my boss if I can have the difference between the salary I am making and the salary co-worker was making. Anyhow, I have no desire to remold this project in my image, so I’m just gonna try to finish the way it started.
Would you like to play a game? And of course, the article gets the wrong Matthew Broderick movie reference.
Bottom study of the day – lonely young men are far more likely to become extreme. Umm, yeah. Even Bill Maher had this figured out in 2002.
I wish every mass shooting ended like this. Good on ya, Mr. Rafiq.
I like how the best case in the Epstein death is massive incompetence. These are the same people you’d have to trust to protect you from harm if a gun ban came down.
Happy Monday.

So you mean you’re not adding a meth lab?
Why would he need two?
*AHEM* economies of scale!
He prefers artisanal meth.
He’ll never make senior Management with that attitude.
FTA: “The “normal script is that I am supposed to get down on my knees and say ‘Please accept me back into your midst, liberal America! I accept that I was wrong,’” he said, adding, “No way. Fuck you.” Is this one of you guys?

I like the cut of that fella’s jib.
Is it just me, or does the author resemble Michael Bolton from ‘Office Space’ ?
I meant the dude, Daniel Povey
Yeah you’re right, he does!
This guy is my hero.
I’m surprised they got him for using the “retard” word but not the “idiot” word. So problematic. Much offended.
Hmm he’s exhibiting all the signs of white extremism. Raise that flag!
Note that he is a professor of language and speech processing. I reckon he’s more inclined to believe words have meaning than a lot of the lefties.
My brother, who works as a school psychologist, told me a tragic story of the impact of the weasel-wording that attempts to protect feelings in the face of brute facts.
He had been mandated to use “cognitively delayed” rather than “retarded” [synonyms. how do they work?].
He had been working with a Native American grandmother to determine what educational approaches and resources would offer hope to a severely underperforming child.
In meeting with her to go over the test results, he told her her grandson was “cognitively delayed,” as per requirements. The older woman, struggling to cope, to do what she could for her grandson, broke down in tears and thanked my brother profusely. She said “oh, thank god! I was afraid he was retarded.” She was deeply relieved, she had seen a ray of hope in what was otherwise her very dark and grim world.
The cruelty of feelings over facts was never more evident than in her heartbreak, hard on the heels of her joy, when he had to explain to her that the terminology had been changed, that her grandson was, in fact, ‘what would once have been described as retarded’. It nearly broke my brother. It definitely led to a fight with his superiors, and a change in employer if not work.
Just wait, in a few years ‘cognitively delayed’ will be considered a slur as bad as ‘retard’.
No euphemism for unfortunate conditions can ever last long before it’s considered just as bad as what it replaced.
Of course, because it’s not the word, it’s the use. But word magic has a tight grip on what passes for some people’s minds.
Retarded was the politically correct and non-offensive term used to replace “idiot” or “moron”. It was meant to convey the idea that a person was not completely defective, just in some way slowed down.
Exactly the same as “Handicapped” was adopted to retire the offensive “disabled”. Which was, of course, adopted to retire the offensive “crippled”.
so yeah, absolutely “differently abled”, “cognitively delayed”, “hearing impaired”, etc. will all be replaced as being offensive. These morons seem incapable of understanding that the meaning of the word is found in what it is used to convey. So if you start calling people with cognitive disabilities “farfurgnugen”, soon enough “farfurgnugen” will become an offensive term for referring to such people.
It is a stupid exercise from the jump, and the adults in the room should be able to explain it to the children as they politely tell them to sit down and shut up. But of course, we can’t do things that way. So we’ll just keep at this for a few more years.
While what Povey did is indeed “Hell, yeah!”, it is more of what I was referring to recently about attrition of non-lefties in academia and journalism.
We are way past the tipping point.
You’re thinking of Slash, Povey.
Fucking Millennials.
Welcome to the jungle.
I think he’s an asshole. He brought people with him to take back the building. The college admin should have done it, but he was there to escalate.
He very well may be an asshole. However, the university seemed to be following the Evergreen State playbook of indulging these entitled idiots. If the legitimate authorities were not going to do something it is not terribly suprising that someone else would. At least this one didn’t end with the school administration being held hostage.
I don’t want to see cops killing or beating kids because of something stupid, I don’t want to see non-cops doing it either. I agree the admin should have done something, but that doesn’t mean I approve this guy escalating. He was looking for violence.
Yeah, he is retarded. First of all, It’s not his building, and as an employee of the university, it’s not his research. I’m not sure if I agree that he was looking for violence, but if his “associates” were students, he was willfully endangering them. If they were harmed, he would expose both himself and the university to criminal and civil liability. That having been said, I wish him luck in adapting Alexa for use in sex dolls.
Point taken. However, as long as these institutions continue to indulge these idiots LARPing as civil rights activists, these sorts of confrontations are inevitable.
In this vein, a YouTuber, Benjamin Boyce has published a deep dive into the lunacy from Evergreen State circa 2017. He was a graduating senior that year. The level of insanity is startling.
Here is Part One Warning those with heart conditions and those prone to monitor punching rage by college students throwing an elaborate temper tantrum should only view this after consulting with a physician.

Terrible person has bad thing happen to them for all the wrong reasons. It seems to be the theme of 2019
I’m torn, she shouldn’t have been canned for that. On the other hand, she would have been screaming for any one else’s scalp if they had done that. I guess it’s just sad that it’s come to this.
She is saddened by the standards she helped institute, so fuck her.
Yeah, I woulda lost a bunch of money on that one too. Because she was about as transgressive as you can be on the standup stage as she began her career. When she took a turn for the progressive SJW I was stunned.
Her, ex, Jimmy Kimmel, seems to have evaded so far.
I don’t understand him either. The guy made his bones with “The Man Show”, which featured such segments as “Girls Jumping on Trampolines”. How the heck did that guy end up being a team-first progressive?
The PC crowd has been busy painting themselves into a corner for decades. Having broken out the power sprayers in the last few years, I expect to see every single one of them get splattered.
Of course she shouldn’t have lost her job.
But she helped to create the retarded atmosphere to which ALL people find themselves in.
Going back in the past and waking up sleeping dogs is bound to mess you up.
Fools.
Of course she shouldn’t have lost her job.
I’m not so sure. I’d happily sign off on “Nobody should lose their job over this sort of thing.”. But, the truth is a lot of other people have lost their job over this sort of thing. And, as you note, she was happy to create just this little world. I’d say if anyone should lose their job over this sort of thing, it’s her.
No one should lose their jobs over something that happened a long time ago. It’s a shame and it’s absurd.
But fuck her because I’m not convinced she gets it.
I’ll do you one better. Nobody should lose a job over dressing up in a costume. Full stop.
Well, unless you are the Ohio State athletic director and you dress up as a Michigan Wolverine for Halloween. Then there might be a case.
Agreed.
“Nobody should lose their job” – yes.
“Silverman shouldn’t lose her job because she’s a prog in good standing” – nope.
Until the people pushing this crap feel the pain, it won’t stop and we’ll never get to “nobody should lose their job”.
I’m torn, she shouldn’t have been canned for that. On the other hand, she would have been screaming for any one else’s scalp if they had done that.
I say it is perfectly just for people to be hoisted by their own petard. While as a general rule I don’t think people should be fired for things that happened in the distant past on a different job, my exception is that everyone deserves a taste of their own medicine.
100% agree.
And that’s one thing I hate about these situations. It is never the targeted group that gets the articles written in defense. It is always when the targeted group turns around and says “Ah-ha! You did it too. Now apply your own standards to your behavior” that we suddenly worry about people playing “tu quoque”. Suddenly they are “just as bad”…. or even worse, because they criticized that standard.
This is such a dishonest argument. Nobody who makes that argument doesn’t actually understand that the sentiment is as you say, hoist them upon their own petard. So it is a really specious argument to make.
The actual argument should be “well, they are getting what they deserve. I hope that this will make their side wise up and stop this nonsense”.
The most telling quote from Ms. Silverman, “It was like, I’m playing a character, and I know this is wrong, so I can say it. I’m clearly liberal.”
Liberal privilege in full bloom.
Some of my best friends are liberals!
“lonely young men are far more likely to become extreme”
Obviously good liberal women who are very concerned about extremism should immediately start hooking up with lonely young men. If it saves just one life, it’s worth the sacrifice, right girls?
Lay back and think of the children
Lay back and think of the abortion. It’s her civil right and civic duty.
I just realized that leon is an OMWC sock-puppet!

It’s easy when you are President.
Just tell the Secret Service who you want killed and they go out and do it for you.
P.S. Jamal was a spy and got caught up in his own game.
So, let’s say you have a time machine and only one could, between Ally Sheedy and Mia Sara which one you would?
Mia Sara, not even close.
Mia Sara. Don’t need more than a second to make that decision.
Take it up a notch – Mia Sara or Phoebe Cates?
Tougher, but still Mia Sara.
To quote my teenaged movie-nerd son: “Dad, I’m sorry you had to grow up in the 80’s without any hot girls in movies…. well.. except for Phoebe Cates”.
Why does it make me happy that she and Kevin Kline have been happily married so long?

Mia Sara was smoking hot in Legend.
Is that the one with David Bowie and Mick Jagger?
I believe you’re thinking of Labyrinth. Legend had Tom Cruise and Tim Curry.
That’s the one where they were burning all the books, but Tom Cruise memorized the Bible or something, right?
No, no. It’s the one where Rutger Hauer turns into a pimp at night and Michelle Pfiefer into a meter maid during the day. They save Ferris Bueller.
That was Flesh and Blood.. with Jennifer Jason Leigh.
No, that was Soul Man, with C. Thomas Howell.
Ok, now you gotta ask….
Michelle Pfiefer or any and all of the above. I’ll stipulate: Grease II Pfiefer.
No, that was Jennifer Connoly
No, that was the one with the rocket pack guy battling the MAGA rallies
She was in Kung Fu Hustle?

I like how the best case in the Epstein death is massive incompetence.
I’m curious as to whether someone who was evidently a sociopathic narcissist would kill himself. My initial reaction was that narcissists would be the last to kill themselves, but maybe narcissism is actually correlated with suicide? It is a supremely self-centered act, in its own way.
He had many damn good reasons to off himself and he was allowed to do so, no assassin required.
he was allowed to do so
His body his choice. Fuck off, slaver!
Apparently, yes.
Looks like they subdued the crap out of him.
Mr. Rafiq definitely has that “do not fuck with this guy” look down cold.
A good starting point would be not killing them after they are born.
Gov. Ralph Northam’s administration is seeking public input on how to improve early education and child care options in the state.
Northam’s office announced Thursday that the state is seeking comments through the end of the month on the administration’s proposed strategic plan to improve school readiness.
A recently released needs assessment found that 40% of the state’s kindergarten students are not ready for school. Nearly half of all low-income kindergarten students enter school unprepared.
The state’s strategic plan’s goals include increasing availability for both public and private childcare options for working parents of toddlers. The state also wants to use incentives to help ensure adequate pay for childcare workers.
Vouchers for everyone. There I fixed schools.
But without central planning, how will they make decisions about how best to serve their customers/constituents?!??
Not ready for school? Wtf does that mean? Its kindergarten. You show up and go from there.
That was my thought on reading that as well. Kindergarten is supposed to be what prepares the kiddos for school. It’s not supposed to be considered school itself. That’s why it’s called “Garden of Children” not “1st Grade”.
I can only assume the little fuck trophies can’t use a toilet yet.
It means “give us money for more Pre-K”.
Please. Our county has invested at least $1M on a “Ready fro Kindergarten” campaign. I think my favorite “welcome to school” moment so far is that the class list got posted from 4p-6p today (school starts Wednesday) but would only be available online or on Wednesday after that “for security reasons”. I asked my wife if they were watching who checked the lists. Nope. Apparently, as long as you can get to school between those hours, you can plot your kidnapping without a problem. ??
You guys clearly haven’t had preschool kids lately. Every Pre-K these days talks about having your kids ready for kindergarten.
I distinctly remember covering colors and shapes in Kindergarten as a kid back around 1970. Even as I was reading Seuss and similar. We covered the alphabet in Kindergarten.
These days you are expected to be able to recognize and write the alphabet, know all your colors and shapes and be able to write your name before starting kindergarten. They are writing sentences in the first half of kindergarten and have a very long list of “sight words”.
We’ve definitely accelerated that part of education.
A recently released needs assessment found that 40% of the state’s kindergarten students are not ready for school.
Here’s an idea. Fuck off and stop stealing my money to pay for such shitty results.

Nobody’s being “disarmed”. There’s just no rational reason to have certain weapons in a civilized society. Pretending they’re to protect you from the govt is nonsense, seeing as how they’ll ALWAYS have better weaponry, no matter how many guns of war we flood our country with

Sure there isn’t.

The Uighurs should have taken up arms against the Red Army? I’m sure that would have worked out really well for them.

That’s a lot of retarded.
“retarded.”
Excuse me, the current politically correct phrase is “mentally gay.” Please update your vocabulary.
Thank you.
I’ve said it a bunch but that argument makes no sense. The government will crush you so therefore you shouldn’t have any ability to threaten the government. It’s a non sequitur at best. It’s Also just wrong historically.
Finally its an argument for less restrictions on what weapons a private citizen should be able to own.
Finally I really hate the “civilized society.” argument. Nothing has changed about humanity in 150 years, let alone 2000. We just have cooler tools. The same arguments about freedom and slavery to a state were being made.
The argument boils down to, “You can’t make a difference, so just give up!”
A bunch of goatherders seem to have done ok against us in Afghanistan despite the enormous edge we have in weaponry.
And the Soviets of yesteryear.
Uh huh. Plus, like all of these shitstains, they think that the US armed forces would go 100% after American citizens. I know most cops would, but a helluva lot of soldiers/Marines wouldn’t, in no small part because they hail from segments of the population most likely to be the ones in the crosshairs.
There are a lot of assumptions in their claims.
” I know most cops would”
Until there is return fire. The cops just want to go home safe.
Soldiers on the other hand would probably be the exact opposite. They wouldn’t want to go in unless threatened with discharge, but once the return fire started they’d probably be all “Blackhawk Down” no matter the locale.
I know this is a dead thread now, but in case anyone ever reads this again…..I suppose that, as a veteran, I like to think the best of my brethren and hope that most of them would refuse.
I was just switching channels yesterday and came across the last minute of Rambo III.
The ending credits start with “This film is dedicated to the noble people of Afghanistan”.
Funny how our view of that country and its residents changed so soon afterwards.
I understand that there re some neighborhoods in Sweden and England and maybe in the US where the police are less diligent than in other suburbans places that have higher taxes.
So to sum up, these are weapons of war, so nobody outside the military needs them, but if they did need them, they aren’t actually weapons of war.
They’re weapons of war, but they are also hopelessly outclassed by the weapons the military has. Stop and figure out how that makes the slightest bit of sense if you have a few days (and brain cells) to kill.
But then you get…
“Hurr, Durr, you rednex gonna oppose the US military with a couple of AR-47’s when they haz tanks and stuf?”
I have read recently that assault weapons available at a gun show are the same as their military counterparts.
A musket is a weapon of war. These hoplophobes are scared of technological advance.

Exactly. We have let the disparity between the gov’t and civilians grow way too large.
Well that, and a hunting rifle is significantly more powerful than a standard infantry rifle these days. But don’t tell that to the media – they’ve had a tough enough time wrapping their head around all of the ways to say that an AR-15 is the most powerful weapon ever invented.
The Uighurs should have taken up arms against the Red Army?
It should be noted that the Red Army started as a small group of rebels who took up arms against the army of the Republic of China, in modern times, and that didn’t go so well for the established government.

On Friday, a member of the U.S. men’s fencing team who joined his teammates on the victory stand after they won a gold medal at the Pan American Games decided to make a political statement, taking a knee while the American national anthem was being played.
Race Imboden, whose teammates Gerek Meinhardt and Nick Itkin both stood as the anthem was played in Lima, Peru, pontificated on Twitter that change was necessary and President Trump “spreads hate,” writing, “We must call for change. This week I am honored to represent Team USA at the Pan Am Games, taking home Gold and Bronze. My pride however has been cut short by the multiple shortcomings of the country I hold so dear to my heart. Racism, Gun Control, mistreatment of immigrants and a president who spreads hate are at the top of a long list. I chose to sacrifice my moment today at the top of the podium to call attention to issues that I believe need to be addressed. I encourage others to please use your platforms for empowerment and change.”
“Sacrifice”…
“Pan American Games decided to make a political statement, taking a knee while the American national anthem was being played”
I got to wonder what other countries think when they see players do that. I mean some certainly must be jealous of the freedom to do so without being jailed.
Oh, you want to make a sacrifice? Fine, strip his medal and boot him off the team.
Good point. This nonsense gets called “daring” or “brave”. How? Is this decision going to have one negative repercussion on the guy’s life at all? My guess is probably not.
Brave would be speaking up for views that the sportswriters disagree with.
his sacrifice was probably witnessed by about 15 people.
Has Nike already signed a contract with him?
He chose to sacrifice the anonymity he enjoys playing a sport nobody watches. He has traded that for more press coverage than he’d ever gain by playing. What a brave soul.
I’m annoyed. Need to replace two sliding glass doors (getting pretty leaky and drafty), but nobody here installs anything but super high end impact resistant at $5k a pop. More than double what I’d pay for “regular” doors. I already have shutters, I don’t need impact glass (ok, I’d like it, but I don’t have the $$$ for it).
Drywall it over.
I feel your pain. I have wooden door between the kitchen and garage. If I get it replaced, it had to be a fire code metal door. But perfectly ok to leave the existing one in place.
I’ll see your pain and raise you.
We are replacing the front door.
The permit costs more than the door.
Well, you’re not going to find anything made out of window glass. It has to be tempered if its within x inches of the floor. And that’s probably not a bad thing.
I wonder if “super high end impact resistant” isn’t just puffery for “tempered”.
It’s not bad for a DIY project if you can just order the size you need from HD or Lowe’s. If you’re in one of the zones that require the high impact doors, that would be the way to go as a contractor won’t want the liability.
I assume that Lowe’s doesn’t sell sub-code either
The seals….I mean thermostat….cant be replaced? My understanding is that they are all impact resistant now because of oodles of lawsuits from people who have been injured by falling into glass doors.
I have a fucking cat that lives on the front porch. Every morning she claws at the door seals to remind me to feed her. She hooks claws into the seal and pulls making a popping noise. I am getting tired of replacing those seals. I bet I have been through a dozen sets of seals so far. Eventually I am gonna skin her and make a new seal out of her hide.
Damn. I know they’re expensive, but $5K sounds really high even for impact resistant doors.
They are safer, though. I had a high school friend who almost died because he accidentally slammed his hand into a glass door and it shattered. When the glass fell, it slit his wrist open. And I was at a family gathering with a bunch of relatives when somebody hit a golf ball into the living room glass door. The door shattered, but instead of glass slivers flying into a large group of people, the membrane held up and nobody was hurt.
I put top-of-the-line Anderson french doors in my house instead of sliding glass doors. Complete with tempered glass. Someone tried to “shoulder” their way through the door once. Whoever it was managed to crack the outside pain, but no damage to the inside pain. I expect whoever did it may have fucked their shoulder up pretty good.
A complete set was about 3K. The single door I had to replace was about 1.5K.
I did French doors a few (maybe 5-6) years ago from Menards, seems like it was about 500 bucks, installed myself. I take that back, had 1 door that hinged, other side was permanent, so really not French doors.
My pride however has been cut short by the multiple shortcomings of the country I hold so dear to my heart. Racism, Gun Control, mistreatment of immigrants and a president who spreads hate are at the top of a long list.
Well, we agree on one thing, anyway.
Schumer wants FBI to sign off on body armor sales
Get them on a list, Chuck.
John’s getting a hard on.
If Mitch the Bitch brings that to the floor and it passes and is signed the Republicans will be crushed in 2020.
Why do you think they are gunning for it? They get to grandstand, rake in donations and then go to cocktail parties.
Sure, sure. It’s not like that stuff isn’t supplied by the department. It’s just that if they need an extra body armor, well, that’s no one’s business. But if YOU need some…
a $10 tactical mask makes you deadlier. everyone knows this.
And what of the bulletproof backpack craze that is on now? How can a literal defensive shield be bad?
Sure Chuckie. Let’s roll CCW reciprocity into that bill too.
And removing suppressors & SBR’s from the NFA while we’re at it.
I remember the cops running to a local gun store and begging for firepower during the Hollywood shoot out because the bad guys had body armor that the cop’s popguns couldn’t penetrate.
Shoot some solids in a 25-06 or a 7mm Mag and body armor is no longer an issue.
We get to thank those assholes for much of the wannabe soldier crap cops do today.
I asked this and then didn’t check for any responses:
Will the standard-issue SWAT body armor stop a .308 round?
Asking for a friend.
What if he shot you in the face?
What if he comes at you with a pointed stick?
Alternate plan
No. Last I saw there are three levels of BA. First stops pistol rounds, not rifle. Second can stop some rifle but not all. Third has hardened steel plates and will stop nearly anything.
The two rounds I mentioned will penetrate unhardened steel up to nearly half an inch. It is really hard to overstate just how much momentum a high velocity rifle bullet has. Your 300 for instance…even if the vest can stop it would you really want to be knocked ass over elbows by something like that?
Only three snide comments before something helpful. Thanks, Suthen.
*orders another case of .308, and more 20 round mags, err, for a friend*

Yep. Otherwise, I’m more comfortable at home.
Ditto. We’ve been together for 12 years and haven’t gone once. Bless Amazon prime.
All of our theaters here have gone assigned seating. The closest one is all recliners and the next closest is a dine in with big cushy seats. That’s the only way they are gonna compete with $319 55″ 4k televisions with Roku built in.

It looks like there should be a guy in a white tuxedo.
Wait, they didn’t raid his island for more than a month after he was arrested? WTF?
And they gave him two days to gather his stuff before fleeing to Brazil.
Still haven’t seen evidence that he was a billionaire. Or that he is actually dead.
OHHHH……Didn’t think of that…..
I assume any evidence that’s worth a damn was burned/thrown into the sea some time ago. Then again, the dude had naughty pics in the safe in his house so who knows.
Well the FBI needed to make sure the evidence was destroyed. Hence the raid after the guy dies. /adjust tin foil hat.

White people are the worst.
Cultural differences are a funny thing. Mention to a white South African that you eat pumpkin or fried catfish and they will never speak to you again.
Why is that? I genuinely don’t follow?
In Africa blacks eat catfish and pumpkins so whites wont touch those foods and look down on anyone who does.
Actually less than 100 years ago Americans wouldn’t eat tomatoes because Indians ate them.
Odd.
I know that Yankees think watermelons, fried chicken, catfish, okra etc are only African American foods, but you and I both know they’re Southern foods.

Not just southern
Luckily the Italians and French got hold of tomatoes and made magic with them. Eventually Americans had to admit their mistake.

Absolutely, but it isn’t crazy that they were initially regarded with suspicion. European’s first experience with nightshades was of a poisonous plant.

“What’s really amazing and revealing is that nobody else on his campaign could spot all the mistakes.”
That’s the first thing that struck me. Not one of those fuckwits have a clue how to change a tire. You cant make this stuff up.
In other news my investment in Popcorn Unlimited Inc. seems to be paying off very well.

I was pretty mean to Robby back in the day.
They are also frightened by that loud mysterious thing in the sink.
Yeah, retards that cant dress themselves want to run the country.
To be fair, I break the lugnuts loose before I start jacking up the vehicle. Because they’ve generally been put on by a halfwit with a pneumatic air gun and are practically welded to the fucking wheel, and I need leverage without the wheel moving.

This has been taken as a belated admission that Thursday’s deadly mystery explosion was a nuclear accident,

I guess you didn’t read the comments then.
I will cop to not reading comments on the rare occasion when I visit ZH, because I can always pop over to The Z Man comment section when need to See The Connections.
I hate myself for reading them but I find them fascinating. Their comment section is like a window into madness.
That was me and Chateau Heartiste.
I generally check the Z Man’s blog every week or so. Smart guy, with some insights. Too much of a racialist/collectivist for me not to hit the brakes; he’s an excellent illustration of how the alt-right and proggy left are mirror images in many ways.
For me it’s Gel-Mann effect of metaphorical brakes screeching every time he goes to history to make an analogy.
If you want well-written explanation of collectivist right, Severian of Rotten Chestnuts is superior. He, at least, understands the culture war and the face of true enemy:
This is where Normals grossly underestimate women like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I’m personally terrified of AOC, because she is the embodiment of the Basic College Girl. Basic College Girls can’t be bargained with, they can’t be reasoned with, and the reason for both is: Both “bargaining” and “reasoning” imply that you think she’s doing something wrong, which is “h8.” And since “ur h8in,” that means you’re thinking about her more than she’s thinking about you, which means she’s validated, which means she wins. Which means she’s not only going to keep on doing what she’s doing, but will crank it up past 11, in order get more h8, to attract more h8rz.
This is our future. Since the only way to deal with a Basic College Girl is to say “no” — all the time, to everything, unconditionally — and we as a society have lost the ability to do that, we’re screwed. Get to know your new mistress. Xzhyr name is Becky, and she’s everywhere.

Online dating dispatch: I can only describe the last guy I met as a mistake I would have been all over in my 20s. I am older and wiser now, but he makes me miss those days.
Don’t miss ’em. I cant tell you how many bullets I barely dodged. Older and wiser is so much easier on the mind, soul and wallet.
Yeah, but they were fun. He seems really fun (and yes, bad for me today), but we would have fun. It just wouldn’t be worth it.
Far be it from me to give advice on the topic, but if you know what he is and can cut him out when he starts acting in accordance to his nature, why not some fun?
Too big a risk to my security clearance.
Damn. Sorry. I was gonna suggest the “use him and then toss him aside like a bottle of cheap wine” route, as any good shitlady would obviously do.
But now you are wise enough to know it would just be fun and to use him and then discard him.
C’mon.
I don’t remember dating you.

Ello everyone. Well, my TDS suffering GF has heard reports that Barr visited Epstein the night he died (according to a mobster in the jail), that Trump was named in court by Epstein as the guy who procured the girls, that Trump was named as the rapist by 3 of the girls, and that the video from the jail is missing.
This time, they got him for sure!
Prove Barr wasn’t there. Prove it.
You can’t, can you?
GASP!
I CAN’T PROVE YOU WEREN’T THERE, EITHER!
It really makes you think.
Of course not, the tapes are missing.
Apparently, your GF’s clinically presenting.
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
Not even CNN is pushing that crap.
Yeah, I’m trying to figure out her “source”.
‘Jailed Mobster’ seems legit.
She can’t tell you?
Clinically. Presenting.
She must be very talented.
My husband’s first wife had some early signs (including that her mother had a pyramid of government cheese in her garage—the insanity ran in the family it turns out). He ignored them and married her anyway.
That lasted slightly over a year.
She is a very talented and credentialed teacher of voice, as well as an extremely talented singer herself. One of her students sang on Glow in the episode we watched last night. Don’t know if it’s a reoccuring role. She has many other students who have attained industry success.
But, yeah, she’s got the TDS bad.
I have a very talented cousin. He also thinks Louisiana is run by a cabal of state policemen that meet secretly and take their orders from a magical Cuckoo clock. On the appointed hour during their sooper seekret meeting the clock chimes and the bird pops out and gives them orders.
I shit you not. A Cuckoo clock. Poor guy. He has good days and bad days.
Hey, she read it on the internet. They can’t put anything on the internet unless its true, right?

We often joke “pics or it didn’t happen”, and video is even more convincing.
But photo manipulation and the 100% digital actor are getting more and more advanced.

I hope so
I fear when the videos/images are thrown out, it will be after the convictions of the last few innocents caught by false evidence.
Never. It’s much too nice a tool for prosecutors and government in general.

Deep fakes. Awesome.
Pretty neat…
That’s weird
I wonder if when digital manipulation becomes undetectable (that is if it hasn’t already) we wont go back to tape or some other analog(?) method of recording security type things. As long as there is a market for knowing exactly what happened when, I’d think “we” will find a solution.
That occurred to me too. Is there a way to make sure it’s real “film” and not faked? I could see that becoming a thing.
So wait, you’re actually flatchested?
