Big thanks to SP to salvaging the site. Who knew that a million comments were going to leave a mark? Akshually, it may be that we’re too graphically stimulating for the web plan we have. We are formulating a plan, but right now, we’d just like everyone to know, we have enough money in the “DO NOT STEAL UNLESS NOT COMING BACK” tin to handle a slightly larger hard drive than the “classic” 40MB external currently operating our graphics storage. Oh, and its raining here. A beautiful summer rain that makes me want to nap.
I feel like the British public is trying to tell their MPs something… Something like, “yes, we really expect you to GTFO of the EU”.
“Ladies and Gentleman, this is your co-pilot speaking, it seems that your captain has been detained for… well, something other than violating the 12 hour bottle-to-throttle rule. We’re going to be a little late leaving today.”
Huh. I’m used to seeing vultures around the dumpsters at my local Winn Dixie, but maybe there was more to it. I actually googled this and its a different Winn Dixie further down. Anywhere else, this would be foul play 99%, around here, it might just be an old guy who fell out fishing.
Bedroom cinemas? I think not.
I guess I’ll recycle some AM Gold.

What would AnnaSophia Robb say?
I have seen several of her movies. She’s actually pretty good as an actor.
That one kid, better than all the rest, is gonna be me!
Horizontal is the only position in which to view “Caligula”
A former coworker threw a party which featured “Caligula” playing on a big screen on an infinite loop during the party.
He was very proud of the three pregnancies that resulted from the party.
Your friends have their ovulations synchronized?
His friends.
I guess a few of them were in sync.
How’s Joey Fatone doing anyway?
I can respect that.
Shirley, you must be joking about that pilot?
The story reminds me about a personal experience that happened way back in the mid-90s. I was on ’emergency back-up call’ for the ER, which existed because only one doc would typically be on duty between 7pm and 7am in those days, so there needed to be some fail-safe in case anything happened to the scheduled doc. But it was pretty much assumed that this should only be utilized in absolute emergencies. So you can imagine my frustration as I was almost out the door to meet friends for dinner, when the call came in from the hospital that I was needed to come in immediately to cover the night shift.
At the time I remember thinking “Dr. A better have a damn good reason he can’t work tonight”. And indeed he did. He was being held for attempted murder.
Apparently Dr. A had become friendly with one of his private patients, and the two of them had hooked up for meth-infused sex, which dragged into a couple of days of continued stimulant use, resulting in him becoming quite crazed and out of it. And he had then gone after his lover with a hatchet, cutting him up pretty good (the guy ended up dying a few days later). A neighbor had apparently heard the commotion and called 911, and Dr. A had answered the police banging on the door, wearing only his underpants, covered in blood, holding the bloody hatchet, and then screamed at the police “What the hell do you want?!”
So I had to cover his shift that night.
Amazingly enough, Dr. A got out on bail and tried to get back on the ER schedule, insisting that he was presently only charged and still considered innocent as not-yet-proven guilty, so there should be no reason to deny him shifts. He threatened the hospital with a lawsuit, but they wisely held firm, and we never saw him again; I’m not sure what happened in his criminal case but I can’t imagine he avoided prison.
“Dr. A had answered the police banging on the door, wearing only his underpants, covered in blood, holding the bloody hatchet, and then screamed at the police “What the hell do you want?!””
IANAL, but answering the door while holding the murder weapon sounds like it was probably a bad idea.
Ha! That was indeed a good excuse. Love how he wanted his ER job back.
Thanks, SP! That was scary.

I know I had to work too, cause this place was down.

Farage could lead to a Corbyn victory, Hmm…
Permission to gambol free of the EU, and to Farage for food?

You know when the cops nab my crack dealer, I can find another crack dealer pretty easily. But when Glibs goes down, what am I supposed to do? Where can I get my fix? Am I supposed to sit there and do work for my employer like a square?
For fuck’s sake, it was so bad this morning I almost had to go over to TOS (virtual methadone).
I blame Q. His pics are double that of everyone else for some reason.
Where can I get my fix?
I would suggest archiving some favorite threads in InstaPaper or something. (Is InstaPaper still extant?)
Archive?
Look. If I had the ability to plan ahead, I would be able to make real friends and not have to hang out here.
Well there is the Discord and then there is another group from TOS who started a Google Groups Mailing list so there are options
But that’s like cutting your coke with flour. It may look similar, but it doesn’t hit hard enough.
Well they’re just stupid then.
They’re not concerned, they’re excited.

Truth == supports my biases on a subject. 😀
Incompetence, or systemic bias?
I have never experienced the parodied problem but Traeger’s new commercial gave me a chuckle.
Good commercial but they are full of shit.
Yea. I have had zero flavor issues using propane. It’s convenient and I use woodchips for the grill flavoring. That said, If I had the money and space, I’d have a Traeger along with my gas grill because it would be better for slow cooking/smoking.
Pellet grills are better for everything.
This is also like the Family Guy parody commercial where Peter voices over that he’s “at a multi-racial picnic for some reason, chuckling with strangers”
Yeah, that’s nonsense. Propane is odorless.
They stole Kmart’s bit.
I have a gas grill, a charcoal grill, and a smoker. The flavor on the gas grill isn’t as good, even when I’m using wood chips for smoke. But I still use it >95% of the time because its easier to use and it doesn’t make food taste like gas.
So no.
Yeah.
Do I want a steak now, or 45 minutes from now?
My one problem is keeping the T low enough for low and slow without the gas going out.
Yesterday I did ribs and it was so cool outside that it wasnt a problem. But during the summer, it is hard to keep it below 225.
Maybe try writing for Buzzfeed?
Mine is natural gas too, hooked to the line from the house, so I don’t have to deal with propane tanks.
I converted mine to nat gas. Wasn’t as hot, so I had to drill out the orifices and switch the air intake to wide open.
Now, it gets way hotter than before.

I’ll just leave this here, for no raisin.
Hmm. That s/n have been a reply.
My propane grill has produced a huge number of successful and popular meals – not once did someone say it tastes like gas. That’s just stupid. High end steak places use gas all the time.
I have a Napolean 4-burner with the rotisserie. Love it. I also have my Weber kettle/ Slow ‘n Sear combo, which I love even more. If I add another one, I’ll take a serious look at one of the kamado-style money sinks.
Infrared in back?
Yup. And the side burner. The back burner is the bomb.
Mandatory for rotisserie chicken. If you use a bottom burner, it’s going to catch on fire. Repeatedly.
I don’t have one, so I also don’t cook rotisserie chicken. I learned my lesson the 3rd or 4th time.
I’ve done chicken, turkey, strip roasts, pork loin, etc.
Getting a nice crisp skin is the greatest.
I mean maybe if you have incomplete combustion, your food might taste like gas, but then you have bigger problems.

Yes.
LOL!
There was an elderly man with dementia who went missing last November, and they found him in a retention pond by a church a few months ago after a thaw. Then last month, a guy fishing in a pond found a woman’s foot. They couldn’t find the rest of her, but could identify the foot as belonging to a missing woman from a tattoo. So for months on my way to and from work I was driving past a body and a foot.
I don’t get the punchline.
When Reagan got shot, Dad was at work and didn’t hear the news. So when Mom told Dad when he got home, Dad responded, “What’s the punchline?”
One of those dark humor jokes. Not everyone gets it.
?
LOL, I get it.
No punchline, I just thought it was creepy or morbid in a “Stand by Me” kind of way.
Dude, you totally missed that opportunity to screw with Sean.
I’m disappointed in you.

Oh goody. Local suburb decides that it is a good idea to force people to show a photo id when purchasing a pre-paid visa/mc/amex card.
Supposedly this is being done to combat fraud. The suburb’s police chief is totes behind it. In fact, he compares it to other good laws:

^This guy gets it.
I made the mistake of buying some cold medication and going through the self-checkout.
Fucking War on Drugs.
When I was in Japan a year ago, I was using the self checkout lane and forgot I had bought a couple beers. I expected the freak out you described and instead the screen just popped up a message that says “Are you over 21?” and I clicked OK and went on with my business.
While that may seem easier, if you lied you’d be expected to commit seppuku to maintain your honor, so there is a trade-off.
Since I’m pretty sure I left my honour in another pair of pants, I’m okay with that.
Individual stores impose all sorts of restrictions on people buying prepaid cards. There’s nothing special.
Um, except it is a city ordnance. And the local stores are already saying that the only real gripe they have is that all the other cities don’t have the same rule, so it is a huge burden on them and the solution is to make this a state wide law.
Yeah, sure any individual store can do whatever they want. No gripe with me. I’ll just buy somewhere else. But when the city starts mandating this shit because a local cop got his panties in a bunch about this sort of fraud…
Since when do cops bother themselves chasing down fraud cases anyway?
When he or his family got defrauded.
So minorities won’t be ale to purchase gift cards with their MasterCard? That is so racist!

“Big thanks to SP to salvaging the site.”
This.
A story called “How We Talk About Drivers Hitting Cyclists” hit my newsfeed – as I gave it a quick glance, this gem showed-up:
“Sometimes the story would say that the person was hit by a car, which is passive,” says Tara Goddard, an assistant professor of urban planning at Texas A&M, who was involved in the study. This language distances the driver’s actions from the crash. “To say an object with no capability on its own actively hit a cyclist is hilarious phraseology,” says Megan Hottman, a Colorado lawyer who represents cyclists hit by drivers.
Excellent – no do guns.
Now do guns – typing fail.
& police shootings.
I think you had it right the first time.
Urban planning? F-U-C-K-Y-O-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
This language distances the driver’s actions from the crash.
Sometimes, its not the driver’s fault, you know.
In which case it should be worded, “Asshole bicyclist negligently swerves into path of vehicle.”
+1 “The driver lost control of his vehicle”
I always wondered what in hell that means.
What’s really funny, I lived under constant fear that a friend of mine was going to eventually pull a J turn and shoot a cyclist that was riding against traffic while I was in college.
Cyclists really got under his skin.
“I feel like the British public is trying to tell their MPs something”
When the leave voters are going to literally start electing retread, washup up, useless old 80’s era members of the actual, literal, communist revolutionary part because they are more likely to enact Brexit than you, you know you’ve fucked up.
It was at this moment Teresa May realized… She fucked up.
May has done a fine job of destroying the Tories, it’s just too bad Corbyn’s the guy waiting in the wings.
I was joking about dead kids at the new jihadi compound in Alabama. Damned if they didn’t find one, though.
Jeebus.
Well, it was a jihadi compound not a Montessori school.
The only relevant school question that is ever asked in Alabama is if they support the Auburn Tigers or the Crimson Tide.
On a beach vacation, there are really only two schools who will let you know who their fans are: Alabama and Ohio State. There’s probably something mathematically provable about number of fans to alumni having a direct relationship.
Maybe alumni/fans of other schools have done well enough to not have to live on a beach?
Or can go somewhere nicer than the redneck beaches I visit. This FSU alum has to make do with SEC and Big 10 fans everywhere.

“Bedroom cinemas? I think not.”
I’m thinking theaters might do better if they sold beer and decent food. There are a few in the U.S., but not many.
Three words….
Asian Massage Cinema
Robert Kraft liked it so much, he bought the company!
Where every movie has a happy ending.
Theater near me.

I’m told Sandi took a shit in La Crosse, WI once.
LaCrosse? That’s God’s Country!
Cinema are basically just buggy whip factories. The only reason they exist is path dependence.
The only reason they exist is path dependence.
Also spectacle. Even if movies streamed simultaneously with a cinema release, there would still be a (somewhat diminished) market for cinemas, since most people cannot replicate the big screen experience at home, and some people like that experience.
It’s becoming more attainable every day, and without most of the negatives of the theater experience.
Indeed it is.
I won’t claim to have anywhere near a high-end home theater, but it beats the TV and stock speakers most people use by being the right size for the room and having multi-channel sound.
And it beats the Cinema because I can pause to take a piss or have a beer that doesn’t cost $6(if they even serve beer), watch whatever the hell I want, and don’t have to worry about the other patrons lack of being housebroken.
Sssssh!
And banned children. And stopped playing 20 minutes of ads before the movie starts. And cleaned the sticky floors at least annually. And…
All of those, really.
Minus the kids thing, you’re essentially describing Alamo Drafthouse.
Yeah, I haven’t been to a theater in years that didn’t serve beer and decent chow. And have comfy recliners.
I don’t what hell theaters you guys are going to, but we have a Marcus multiplex near us that is wonderfully clean and comfortable, offers $5 Tuesdays with free popcorn, and has a full bar and a pizzeria within.
And I’ve only had to move seats once in a movie (can’t remember which one) in the past 10 years.
Democrats Need Rehab from Trump Investigation Addiction
The likes of Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff seem to be sucking on this pipe for dear life, day and night, giving them barely time to breath or eat. Even when getting a rare touch of sleep, these putative public servants clearly have Trump on the brain. They never think of anything else—or, seemingly, do anything else.
And they are far from alone. Legions of Democrats and their media lackeys suffer from the same addiction.
A thousand Mueller reports, all unredacted with full access, everyone who ever met Donald Trump or even attended one of his rallies or ate one of his benighted steaks or drank a soy latte in the Tower Starbucks, testifying under oath in front of fifty congressional committees, many dozens of these witnesses going to jail for process crimes or having their careers ruined, forcing them to flee to Kathmandu to work as busboys in an ashram snack bar, would not cure those junkies. They’d still be dragging themselves through the streets at dawn, in Allen Ginsberg’s words, “looking for an angry fix” (i.e, something, anything, that might make Donald Trump look bad).
If you’re unclear what Democrats stand for in the 2020 election—other than wildly outdated socialism and some creepy anti-Semitism—this could be, indeed undoubtedly is, the reason. All they do is investigate.
In the interest of a two-party system, an intervention is definitely needed—followed by rehab.
For Mr. Schiff, that might entail a short journey from his L.A. district to one of those pricey movie star spas with Greek columns in Malibu. He’s unlikely to be bothered by the endless homeless encampments he passes en route since he’s been able to completely ignore them until now. As for Nadler, anything’s better than Penn Station after midnight.
As to the media and their Hollywood cronies, well, rehab’s expensive, as they well know. They may have to forego bribing their children’s way into Yale. But they’ll be better in the end.
Nevertheless, rehab is not just about group therapy in a hot tub. At some point you have to be honest about what brought you there in the first place, otherwise, no progress will be made.
Meh. It is more entertaining if their collective meltdown continues.
Schiff was on one of the talking heads shows on Sunday. He said that “Mueller said that Trump’s actions with the Russians didn’t rise to the level of a crime. If that’s the case after all that evidence, maybe we need to change what we call a crime!”
Again, I remember Mueller saying no collusion, and that Trump staff even refuted Russian outreach. Yet Schiff wants people to believe there was collusion, only it was just a teeny bit shy of a crime in this horrible country with its emphasis on due process. He’s obsessed and nuts.
Most pilots are in the Mile High Club. Rare indeed that a pilot is also a member (three times over!) of the 6ft Under Club.

I’m actually enjoying how Biden isn’t woke enough and the realization as he climbs in the polls that even their own party doesn’t like the far left.
The couple of weeks that Buttigieg had a run, you know why he said? That capitalism was actually a good system. Hmm.
* what he said
Libertarians liking Biden is a good example of the ratchet effect. Republicans not repealing Obamacare is terrible but a major advocate of it is the savior of us all.
He also said it was letting us down and we need more fairness.
I definitely do not like Biden.
So he’s the tallest midget then?
More like I’m really enjoying the midget fight.
Withholding sex and house work from a man who would be in a relationship with a feminist seems like preaching to the choir.
I don’t get the housework thing. When something bothers me around the house — lack of clean clothes, lack of clean dishes, lack of groceries, dirty bathroom — I fix the problem. My wife just has a much more sensitive threshold to these things, so it rarely trips the circuit. There’s a reason I own 12-13 serviceable pairs of underwear, 9 t-shirts, 3 pair of gym shorts, and 14 pairs of socks. So I don’t have to do laundry thrice a week.
Oh my goodness, it’s like you’ve been spying on me and my wife.
She will get annoyed from time to time because “these things need to get done, and I always end up doing them!” To which I respond that I pitch in when she asks, but if she’s expecting me to do these things with the same frequency as her, then she’s gonna be sorely disappointed because I’m not a neat freak like her.
Only thrice? I have the same threshold, but mrs. pistoffnick insists on doing laundry nearly every single day. We have 2 teenage daughters who change clothes 2-3 times a day.
I bet if they had to do their own laundry, that would change quickly.
Heck, if you wear three different outfits in a day the outfits have probably seen so little use that they don’t need washing before you wear them again, unless you’ve been sweating them up.
“Oh, you’re on strike? That’s nice. Since when?”
“How can I support you? Watch more porn and order more take out?”

I calculated that I would get hosed with the high housing costs even with factoring in the huge increase in salary and lack of state income tax or sales tax. I would be paying more for just the property tax in NH than I currently pay for my mortgage here in VA on an equivalent house.
I was also surprised to see that two-thirds of that goes to the public schools. That’s the bottomless pit right there of state and local taxes.

“Democrat Rep. Tlaib is being slammed for her horrible and highly insensitive statement on the Holocaust. She obviously has tremendous hatred of Israel and the Jewish people. Can you imagine what would happen if I ever said what she said, and says?”
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1127938873630367744
Absolutely nothing different in tone or venom than what they are now saying?
Pretty sure it’d make for some really awkward family dinners.
What annoys me here is that Team Red is pretty much lying about what she said, and what she said is fucking terrible on its own. So they give her an out.
Earning the nickname “Stupid Party” every day.
How are they pretty much lying?
The reactions I’ve seen are that she feels great ABOUT the Holocaust happening., while she apparently feels great about all the sacrifices the Arabs made to give the Jews Israel (which is, of course, bullshit).
yeah, the second part of her statement is… (thinking of a charitable word)… horseshit.
I think the second part is just cover to get away with saying the first part. What gets me is how much worse she is than Omar but Omar gets all of the attention because she “looks” the part. Tlaib has been over the line for a while. I give her no charitable interpretation
The rapid pro Israel wing of the Republican party is every bit as bad as Omar. She’s an idiot and probably holds antisemitic views given her background, but the some of the pro Israel people are just as retarded and ridiculous. In short they deserve each other.
I agree and I actually didn’t think Omar was all that off base with her dual loyalty jab although it certainly did seem hypocritical.
I think there’s no question at all that Omar is an anti-Semite who wants to see the Jews eradicated from the Middle East. Plus, unless she has renounced her Somali citizenship (which as far as I know she hasn’t) she has actual, no-kidding dual loyalties.
I think the anti-Semites and the pro-jihads are far, far worse than Israel’s amen corner.
I haven’t really studied what Tlaib said, but the idea that the Palestinians were ever anything but unreservedly hostile to the Jews and to Israel is beyond ludicrous. The boss Muslim in Jerusalem was a big Hitler fan, for fuck’s sake.
“The rapid pro Israel wing of the Republican party is every bit as bad as Omar.”
I don’t see how.
I think what she was implying was that the Jews who displaced Palestinians had a good reason to GTFO of Europe.

What is with the spike recently in stories about “Missing Native American Women”? Minnesoda just put on a parade to stop it
Everytime I read these stories, I get very confused. Do the protesters realize that the vast majority of the victimizers are Indian men? White racists aren’t driving up to the res and kidnapping, raping and killing these women. The reason that so many of the disappearances/murders are unsolved is because normal law enforcement can’t investigate on the res. It has to be the tribal police or FBI and the locals aren’t much of a help to any of them.
Oh so the Canadianism is infecting your place!

You should get that checked.
It’s sad that the “lgtqwerty” joke is indeed spot on.
2S stands for Two-Spirit, an authentically Canadian contribution to the abbreviation.
Male, female, and maple.
Would this charge apply to indigenous men?

Seems to me like the protesters have a burden to help these people, and if that involves taking over their lands and running it for them, well…eggs and omelettes.
So Im supposed to start feeling bad for my occasional trips to ndngirls.com ?

Today, at gliberatarians, I learned…

Apparently not. ?
Same thing happening in Washington. See the tribes are sovereign when it comes to not paying the same taxes. or getting gaming licenses, or expanded hunting and fishing limits. But when they have extreme rates of alcoholism, poverty, and missing women, suddenly the great white chief needs to come in an fix things.
I feel like the British public is trying to tell their MPs something… Something like, “yes, we really expect you to GTFO of the EU”.
FTA:
That general election polling is a bigger deal than the EU parliament polling. If that truly represents the feelings of the people, then the Tories would be wise to do an abrupt about-face on the issue. Although it should be noted that the Brexit Party, while primarily pulling from the Tories, is also pulling decent amounts from the other parties as well (the poll is showing Labour down 12 points and the Tories down 20 points from the previous election).
Local lefty columnist: On the economy, Obama owns Trump
SUCK IT TRUMP!! Oh, I’m sure you Trumpistas are saying this is only one data point. Well hang on:
So there! You can’t argue with math.
Bullshit
That’s sad.
No. That is funny. The fact that he openly lays out that the stock market went up by 6K under Trump, but Obama’s 4K gain in twice the time is better because of percentages.
And the gibbering commenters all thanking him for arming them with FACTS that they can use in their next argument with Trump supporters.
i think he limited his date range to an equivalent time of Obama’s first term. he stops at May 11, 2011.
Yeah, why come Trump not make it -1.7% unemployment!!!!
Fucking idiot.
DJIA is going to price in administration policy as soon as the winds are determined. Trump’s stock market started the day Hillary lost b/c the polls were so fucked. call it 18.5K. DJIA dropped from 11K to 7K right before Obama first won so you could argue His Holiness’ policies took it from 11K to 13K. that aint 65%.
The problem is people who think like this don’t believe that the economy can do anything on its own. The fact that unemployment was at 9.9% during Obama’s first year to them means it would have stayed at 9.9% forever had Obama not saved us all. But of course that is not the case, the economy has a will of its own and if left alone would probably heal faster than it did under the micromanagers. But to them the fact that it healed at all on Obama’s watch is proof that he healed it.
Eh, I think this guy thinks that way, but the more sophisticated recognize multiple equilibria and argue that the economy was stuck in a bad equilibria and needed government action to shock it out of the bad equilibria. I’m not saying they’re right, just not all that argue for government action are naive caricatures.
“Sweden prosecutors reopen Julian Assange rape probe, seek extradition
Prosecutors in Sweden reopened a rape case against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, a month after he was forcibly removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and after a U.S. extradition request over computer hacking charges.
The decision complicates U.S. efforts to try Assange for leaking classified documents.
A sexual assault investigation into Assange was dropped two years ago because prosecutors were not able to continue their case while he was holed up in the embassy. It was reopened Monday at the request of one of the alleged victims.
The incident allegedly took place 10 years ago. Assange maintains he is innocent.
As part of the probe, prosecutors renewed an extradition request for Assange, raising a competing claim that could frustrate attempts to see him stand trial in the U.S. It is not clear which extradition request will take priority, said Eva-Marie Persson, Sweden’s deputy director of public prosecutions, during a news conference in Stockholm.”

Apparently showing female rulers doing bad things is now sexist or something. I thought showing women as calm rational nurturers was sexist?
It was instigated by Valenti, who has the intellect of a retarded koala.
Ask her what she thinks of Margaret Thatcher.
Proposition A: Women are steely-eyed hardasses who can mine coal, haul lumber, fight a war, run a government, and write algorithms just as well (if not better) than any man.
Proposition B: Women are precious little damsels with delicate sensibilities who need to be protected and provided for by big strong men.
Feminism is all about dancing between these two propositions a la Homer Simpson at the American Embassy in Australia.
They have no agency either way.

Re: the GoT thread this morning. I’m a huge Terry Goodkind fan, but I’ll be the first to admit – “Legend of the Seeker” falls pretty far from the tree. Admittedly, I don’t think I’d read anything quite as graphic as “Wizards First Rule” up until the time I picked up that book in High School. Goodkind started on a weird sort of insanely graphic tear but leveled off a few books later – and “Faith of the Fallen” is probably one of the best anti-Communist/Free-Market books I’ve ever read – fantasy or otherwise.
I think I might still have a book or two to pick up for the series after the main saga ended…haven’t had time/inclination to follow up recently.
OTOH, the tv show was basically a Xena level syndicated fantasy from the get-go (worthless for that type of content) and got canceled after the second season. Will probably rewatch my DVDs in the future, but pretty disapointing.
The show was awful. They sorta got Zedd right, and Kahlan was quite easy on the eyes, but it strayed so far from the books and I kept looking for Lucy Lawless to jump out of the next corner.
Yeah….and I’m a big Bruce Spence fan too so I’ll watch anything he’s in. He’s got the build for Zedd, but I would never have cast him in that role. (at least we got some red leather if not the rest of the thematic stuff).
Yeah…the potential for red leather-clad women is about the only reason I kept watching.
I got sucked into Goodkind for a bunch of books but the meandering plots that never went anywhere and lecturing heavier than Rand finally got me to throw in the towel.
I liked all the subplots and the peripheral characters, I just couldn’t take Richard as a hero, he may have been the first ‘Mary-sue’ that I noticed (before I even knew what the term meant (and I may not be using it correctly now)) How many times did he do the impossible just because he really really wanted to, or worse just happened to ‘know’ the right way. I Don’t remember exactly but there was a time he was stuck in a dessert or somesuch and on a whim decided to go to one of the sand towers and raise his sword and presto he’s not lost anymore, I clearly remember thinking as I read that “C’mon dude! fucksake, give your readers some credit” Hell even Piers Anthony made his characters reason out all his silly pun based riddles before they ‘solved’ them.

Heart overload
I’m sure she’s a really nice person IRL.
So, last night I was in need of some mindlessness, so I half-assed watched an episode of a TV show from the late 1980s on Prime Video while I was doing something else. I look up at the screen and say, “I think that’s…Bruce Jenner!” I look at the “X-ray” thing which lists the cast in the scene, and nope, Bruce Jenner isn’t listed.
But Caitlyn Jenner is.
Then the opening credits run and it says Bruce Jenner.
I was very surprised that the owners of the show didn’t have to go back and change those credits. That tells you where I think we are as a society.
Also, watching him on screen, I could see where he might have felt like a chick all his life. I mean, her life.
Last night, or about 5 in the morning?
Thanks for fixing everything. Your admirers were pretty distressed!
No, actually only about 2330 AZ.
And you’re welcome. I’m working on a
finalpermanent solution.It means we have more work to do before we have reached peak utopia.
IMDb (owned by Amazon) lists most of his/her pre change roles as (as Bruce Jenner) just like they do with other name changes, spelling mistakes or differences from the listed name.
He has been so completely off my radar that I’ve never looked him up in IMDB. (Which I always have open on my mobile device while watching old movies or shows from the 1960s and earlier.)
Bruce was likely taking assloads of steroids back in the day, and not just any steroids, but 70’s era roids. He went from relatively average dude to super decathlon man in a very short period. I’d bet that had to have had some kind of mental after effects.
I noticed exactly that while watching CHiPs recently. His inner self actually is apparent even back in the late seventies. And yeah, this morning’s absence made the hearts fonder. Thanks for saving the day.
Impossible Foods’ meatless burgers have made it a $2 billion company
Anybody tried one of these things? There are a few chains that have started selling them at selected stores, including Burger King and Carl’s Jr.
I’m a believer that a high-protein food like ground beef is a perfectly acceptable part of a healthy diet (especially for someone who lifts weights) so I don’t see any reason for me to go out and buy one.
Also it involves Premature Bovine Death, which is always a plus and coincidentally the name of my metal band.
Why the hell would I eat that monstrosity?
My Kroger offered me a serious coupon for them, and I was going to pick some up but whenever Im in the meat dept. of the store, it never registers with me.
So, no.
Meatless burgers? Nah, unless they’re served in crotchless panties.
Who’s wearing the panties? You or the burger?
/confused
They can’t make a sugar substitute that’s convincing after how many decades and we’re supposed to believe they’ve conquered meat? Call me skeptical.
My mom and brother became vegetarian about a year before I moved out on my own. I remember them always cooking imitation meat and swearing up and down that it tastes exactly like the real thing, then I’d take a sample and find that it tastes like ground-up mushrooms and cardboard.
I understand and accept that people like what they like, and I have no interest in changing anyone’s dietary habits… But it puzzles me that so many people go for half-assed imitations of meat when there are so many great dishes you can make that are already vegetarian. Tons of Asian dishes with tofu, a whole world of Indian curries, the list goes on…
This.
I saw a show with Glenn Beck and a guest or two eating that stuff and they seemed to really like it. Only bad part about it was that they were eating a reheated one.
I have. They were a disappointment, particularly compared to some of the “President’s Choice” meatless burgers you can buy at any Real Canadian Superstore. I wouldn’t pay money for one again.

Did you get that apartment in Kabukicho? The Japanese ladies need a taste of Raph.
Haha, no not yet. I got a second round job interview today though so once I find out about if I got the job or not, that’s when apartment hunting will start. Kabukicho just might be a bit out of my price range, but there’s always taking the date to a love hotel in that area.
The two of you can get a capsule hotel room together.
Good luck. Go with Western Tokyo if you get the chance.
Ted please, the capsules can barely fit me and I’m not exactly a yuge guy.
Will do, Straff. How far west we talking? Hachioji is all right, but Musashino is pretty great too.

Honest question I struggle with. As a white-cis-male, is it better to expect my credentials be recognized too (go by Dr., etc.) in solidarity or to downplay mine while explicitly recognizing those of others with less privilege?”
Dude, I doubt she’s going to screw you even if you intellectually prostrate yourself.
I deliberately tell people not to call me “Dr.” simply from personal preference. I didn’t do it for a title; however, you work your fucking ass off you can have people call you whatever you want. “Privilege” or other associated bullshit is absurd.
Well, just to be clear, I actively stop other people from using my title. I just expect it from students.
you can have people call you whatever you want
You can try, personally, I’m calling you ‘Mister X’ or ‘Missus X’ until we’re on first name basis, you pull that ‘It’s “Doctor”, or It’s “Your Honor” shit, then I’m going to insist you refer to me as “Carpenter Hyperbole” or better yet “Craftsman Hyperbole”
