  1. The “more Protestant” part of TPTB would be Swissy, wouldn’t it?

    1. Count Potato

      It’s Good Friday, not Holey Thursday.

    2. ZARDOZ is Anglican.

      1. I would’ve taken him for a Baptist given the no sex thing.

        1. Lackadaisical

          Wouldn’t that have made him a shaker? I thought baptists were anti-booze?

  2. Ownbestenemy

    Altight wall panels hung, first coat of flooring laid, next I have to put my caulking on and them see how my meat is doing getting smoked.

    1. Sean

      These euphemisms are getting too strange.

      1. Ownbestenemy

        Thank you. I see Reuters took no time to push a poll about a 3 point drop in approval for Trump after the report went live.

        Even the article reporting on the poll infers guilt.

        Keep firing assholes!

        1. Three points is within the margin of error of polling – even by the admission of the pollsters (and before the factors of push-polling are included)

          1. Ownbestenemy

            They admit a 4 point margin of error

        2. Rhywun

          The one I saw says “plummets to lowest level of the year”.

          I’m reminded of back when Apple used to post record profits every quarter immediately followed by the stock tanking.

          1. Will the Democrats pounce on this poll?

          2. Rhywun

            Will STEVE SMITH shit in the woods?

          3. STEVE SMITH

            YES. HIM NO GO IN CAVE!

  3. Repost from previous thread.

    I have checked the thermostat, and it didn’t help.

    Since I put the m.2 SSD in, the computer has taken literal minutes to POST, then almost as much time to boot into the OS.

    I mean waiting for the maching to post, I had to time get annoyed, wander into the kitchen, look in the fridge, check out the window, go back to the desk, get annoyed, pick up the laptop, close fifteen or so tabs with the trackpad, shut down the laptop, and get annoyed again.

    This is not the performance people said there should be. It’s not even a sane delay. Any ideas on how to fix it?

    1. Playa Manhattan

      I? I thought you said “we”.

    2. Ownbestenemy

      What MB and and SSD. Are you running in AHCI in the bios?

      1. ASUS TUF x299 mark 2

        Intel 660p

        And I have no idea.

        1. Ownbestenemy

          You should check for that. SSDs for the most part should be set to AHCI.

          Under Sata Controller

          Set to [AHCI] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to. use the AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). The AHCI
          allows the onboard storage driver to enable advanced Serial
          ATA features that increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to internally optimize the order of commands.

          At least, thats my opinion on the matter.

          1. Ownbestenemy

            Sorry not the SSDs themselves, the SATA controller firmware.

          2. Is changing it going to cause any issues for a drive that has already been installed to?

          3. Ownbestenemy

            Yep. Especially if you are set to RAID. However, i am not sure if this is what your issue is.

            Remote T/S sucks on these problems.

            I would search the interweb for “added 2nd SSD, slow POST”

            Probably put you to tomshardware.com for an answer or insight

          4. It’s not a second SSD, it’s the only SSD in the machine. There are two regular spinning platter HDDs, and a DVD-RW attached to SATA ports.

            I will still check the configuration next time.

            The delay is before the option to enter setup, the post screen hasn’t appeared yet,

          5. Ownbestenemy

            Which is your master boot? The SSD?

          6. Ownbestenemy

            If you have fastboot enabled also, i would turn that off. I know it has problems.

          7. I turned fastboot off early on before I’d even gotten to this stage, so that should still be off.

        2. SDF-7

          Let me DuckDuckGo that for ya.. 😉

          More seriously – it looks like a known issue with the x299 chipset and ASUS based on the number of links.

          This says that it is due to RAM detection logic (RAM Training) in the BIOS, which can be disabled if you’re sure of your DRAM settings.

          Hope this helps.

      Tannerite.

    4. Sean

      Tannerite.

      1. Sean

        *sigh* some tannerite for the squirrels too.

    5. Performance of the drive after booting has completed is in line with expectations – quite fast and constrained more by the fact that the other drives and the network are slower than it.

    6. J. Frank Parnell

      Have you tried rebooting?

    7. OneOut

      Have you tried turning if off and then back on again ?

    8. Not an Economist

      Have you tried a 12 gauge?

      1. I have poured over two grand into this box at this point.

        I would hurt more destroying that than looking for more technical solutions.

  4. Playa Manhattan

    Pig roast starts at 8am tomorrow.

    Still missing: the pig.

    1. I assume the neighbor who was supposed to buy the pig isn’t getting invited to the next roast?

      1. Count Potato

        Mary-Louise Parker was so hot.

    2. JaimeRoberto: Gentleman, Scholar, French Tickler

      My dad is out pig hunting right now. He expects me to butcher it even though I’ve been in bed with the flu the last two days. I’ll send him down your way. Maybe then I can rise again on the third day.

      1. Count Potato

        Sorry 🙁

      2. Old Man With Candy

        Maybe then I can rise again on the third day.

        Maybe the pig will.

    3. STEVE SMITH

      STEVE SMITH FIND PIG. WHEN YOU GET, MIGHT BE GNAWED.

  5. Trigger Hippie

    So I guess Putin’s strategy for world dominance is by installing TV personalities to the heads of their respective states and ruling by proxy.

  6. Heroic Mulatto

    Steve Smith is antisemitic.

    1. Trigger Hippie

      STEVE SMITH UNCUT! HIM SHOW YOU!

    2. STEVE SMITH

      IT NO SUNDOWN. NO PASSOVER YET!

      1. Heroic Mulatto

        Steve Smith is a self-hating Jew.

        1. Spudalicious

          STEVE SMITH is George Soros?

          1. That would be an everyone hating pseudo Jew.

    3. Chafed

      Apparently.

      1. STEVE SMITH

        NO! IT NOT APPARENT! STEVE SMITH LOVE EVERYONE. BY LOVE, MEAN…

  7. Sean

    So, my gf’s aunt is about to pass of cancer. The aunt is not a nice person. The gf does not like her, but has power of attorney and has been taking care of her and making arrangements for her care. The gf does not seem too broken up over this yet. What should I do for my gf when the aunt finally passes? Card? Flowers? Bourbon?

    The fact that she doesn’t even like her makes it weird (to me). Zardoz need not respond.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      What should I do for my gf when the aunt finally passes?

      Eat her ass.

      1. Lackadaisical

        The right meal for any occasion.

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          ^This guy knows what’s up^

      2. Sean

        *scribbles down notes*

      3. Chipping Pioneer

        To be faaaaaaiiiiiiiiirrrrrr….

        That’s your answer for everything.

      4. Wait . . .the aunt or the girlfriend?

        1. MikeS

          Not an unreasonable question.

        2. This is how you get mouth cancer.

    2. Have you tried asking the girlfriend what she wants?

    3. creech

      Condolences always in order; rest might depend on gf being in aunt’s will and how much the legacy will be.

  8. Trigger Hippie

    I love that when I click on the sasquatch/free cascadia image it reads out: A 501(C) (RAPE) ORGANIZATION.

    *hits the bowl*

    Happy Friday, shitheads.

    1. Hyperion

      It’s GOOD Friday, BTW. Only it wasn’t. I had to stay at one of my client’s sites, because the project manager wouldn’t let me go until 4PM. Venturing down to NOVA tomorrow to spend the night and visit friends on Sunday, the Easter egg day, or whatever. I plan to get drunk tomorrow night.

    2. Lackadaisical

      Happy Friday, shitheads.

      Damn, I thought weed is supposed ot mellow one out.

      Also, your avatar is triggering me. My Indian in-laws bought me a bunch of Indian clothes, and then said I looked like Trudeau when I wore it. -.-;

      1. Trigger Hippie

        Ha!

        1. Trigger Hippie

          Hey, I wanted to change my avatar months ago but I was told in no uncertain terms by several people here that I’m not allowed because it’s just that fucking awesome.

          1. MikeS

            I, for one, am glad that message got thru to your drug addled brain.

            *takes big gulp of beer while pouring a few fingers of whisky*

          2. Lackadaisical

            And you listened to these reprobates?

  9. grrizzly

    Poroshenko and Zelenskiy had a presidential debate in a stadium. Looks weird. To my surprise, Zelenskiy even spoke Ukrainian.

  10. Juvenile Bluster

    G-d must be pissed off I didn’t leave enough wine out for Elijah tonight, because we’ve got one helluva thunderstorm rolling through.

    If I die remember I love all of you. Except that one of you. You know who you are. You know what you did.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      Listen, you can hate me all you want, but it’s not going to change the fact that this is anime as God intended it.

      1. Juvenile Bluster

        No, this is.

        (btw Lucoa is the Glib Anime mascot)

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          Most people rejected HM’s message.

          They hated Heroic Mulatto because He told them the truth. (Ezekiel 23: 19-20)

          1. MikeS

            What an ass

          2. Spudalicious

            Eater.

          3. Woh oh here she comes
            Watch out boys she’ll chew you up
            Woh oh here she comes
            She’s an ass eater….

          4. MikeS

            Ted, if you can link a recording of those lyrics, I’ll never denigrate your links ever again.

            But, I might still miss-use apostrophe’s.

          5. Lackadaisical

            Nelly Furtado could eat my ass. Just Sayin’.

      2. Lackadaisical

        How did I not know that was a thing? Looks awesome.

        Also, I think he meant the whole fucking his wife thing, not the anime.

        1. Lackadaisical

          Waifu*

      3. Juvenile Bluster

        Also, best mecha anime:

        1. Eureka Seven
        17. Gundam
        3,231,998: Evangelion. It’d be 3,231,997 spots higher without that scene from End of Evangelion.

        1. Juvenile Bluster

          Rest of the top 5 mecha anime, for the record, are Code Geass, Escaflowne, Full Metal Panic and Guren Lagann

          1. Lackadaisical

            Code Geass, […] Full Metal Panic

            wrong, so wrong.

        2. Heroic Mulatto

          That’s not even wrong.

          The correct answer is Bubblegum Crisis, followed by Orguss 02.

        3. mr simple

          Wow, someone actually likes Eureka Seven? I pushed through the first season, but I realized I hated every character way too much to even care what happened.

    2. I won’t repent for the music links I post,

      1. Spudalicious

        Could you at least give it up for Lent? That would at least give us a 40 day reprieve.

  11. Hyperion

    The weirdest beer ever.

    Modelo Chelada Especial

    Seriously, try it.

    1. Hyperion

      BTW, if you do. I’d suggest having a bottle of good vodka handy to top it up.

  12. Winston

    IS STEVE SMITH RELATED TO KATE SMITH? BOTH LARGE!

    1. Chipping Pioneer

      GOD BLESS CASCADIA!

  13. MikeS

    Mr. Smith; I applaud your stand for a free Cascadia. I am curious, what is your stance on a free Catalonia? Do those Dago’s deserve it?

    1. I recall that pirate.

    2. Heroic Mulatto

      There is nothing stopping someone from optioning Octavia Butler’s Xenogenesis trilogy if they so desired.

      1. Winston

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith%27s_Brood

        In September 2015, it was announced that producer Allen Bain had optioned the rights to make Dawn for television.[9] Development was projected to take 1–2 years.[10]

        Someone tried,

        Orson Scott Card commends the Xenogenesis trilogy as “more satisfying as hard science fiction” than Butler’s earlier Patternist novels, specifically in that they show “how much power her storytelling has gained” in the intervening years.

        Uh oh!

      2. Rhywun

        I would watch the hell out of that.

    3. Rhywun

      What would we do without the Guardian to racesplain everything to us?

      1. Winston

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian#History

        A newspaper that hated Lincoln when he was alive?

        “Of his rule, we can never speak except as a series of acts abhorrent to every true notion of constitutional right and human liberty […]”[32]

    4. Urthona

      George has defended this many times. The setting is based on medieval Europe directly with many real life analogues. Except Essos which is more Mideast/North Africa. It’s white because it’s European history based.

      1. Rhywun

        Eurocentrism!!

        That’s not going to placate any of these people.

  14. Chipping Pioneer

    Good Vibrations is the best song ever recorded. Fight me.

    1. Winston

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Vibrations

      Released on October 10, 1966

      Old Man Music.

    2. MikeS

      Since it’s not even the best Beach Boys song, obviously you are wrong.

      1. Chipping Pioneer

        Pffft. Their second best song is Wouldn’t it be Nice

        1. MikeS

          Are you smoking with Trigger Hippie? Their second best is Sloop John B.

          1. Chipping Pioneer

            *removes glove*

            *slaps Mike S across the face*

            I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!

            PISTOLS AT HIGH NOON!

          2. Chip, it is the one who is challenged who decides the weapons.

          3. Chipping Pioneer

            Hmmm… It seems that I am at a disadvantage, then.

            Fine. If Mike S deems that Achy Breaky Heart is the best song ever, then so be it.

          4. Count Potato

            That doesn’t sound fair, what if someone picks some weird ass weapon the other person never used?

          5. That’s the point. It makes people think more before challenging people to a duel.

          6. MikeS

            Achy Breaky Heart is an abomination unto humanity. If not for that fucking pile of dreck, Miley Cyrus would just be some redneck nobody ever heard of.

          7. MikeS

            Chip, I challenge you to…JARTS!

          8. Chipping Pioneer

            JARTS! Nice.

            We should have our orphans downrange to retrieve them for us.

          9. Chipping Pioneer

            Also, I love Miley Cyrus.

          10. Count Potato

            “If not for that fucking pile of dreck, Miley Cyrus would just be some redneck nobody ever heard of.”

            That isn’t true. Dolly Parton is her godmother, Waylon Jennings taught her guitar, etc. Nashville is people who know people. Disney made her famous, but she’s still a great singer.

          11. MikeS

            So, her dad got his break because of connections to Dolly. And did Waylon teach her guitar before or after Achy Breaky was a hit?

          12. Count Potato

            Miley was born about six month after that song was released.

          13. MikeS

            Right. So, without her dad getting that hit song, do you honestly think we’d know who the hell she is?

          14. Count Potato

            Yes, because she has talent, and her family already had plenty of connections.

          15. MikeS

            Jeezus, you Miley fanboy’s are something else. Fine, I’ll agree with you. It was her family connections that made her famous.

            There’s hundreds of voices out there just as good (and better looking) whose names we will never know.

          16. The Bearded Hobbit

            Good Vibrations is the best song ever recorded

            Beach Boys or Todd Rundgren?

          17. Chafed

            Todd Rundgren is always the right answer.

          18. mr simple

            I was thinking Marky Mark.

          19. The Bearded Hobbit

            Dick Dale did it better

    3. Better than Mozart’s Symphony No. 40?
      Bach’s Brandenburg No. 3?
      Liszt’s Preludes?

      1. Chipping Pioneer

        No.

        But, hey, speaking of classical music, what do the Glibs like?

        I’m partial to Dvorak, myself.

        1. Rhywun

          I like Dvorak too but my jam is Bach organ stuff.

          1. Lackadaisical

            *raises eyebrow*

          2. Chipping Pioneer

            Euphemism?

          3. Rhywun

            Get your minds out of the gutter. We’re being sophisticated here.

        2. Spudalicious

          Depends. Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Handel’s Water Music…

          1. Count Potato

            I found it overrated. I stayed there once and it was pretty much a regular hotel.

          2. Chipping Pioneer

            Yeah, I know. The breakfast buffet had reconstituted powdered eggs. Gross, right?

          3. Spudalicious

            I’ve stayed at several Four Seasons. Manele Bay on Lanai absolutely ruined me. Scottsdale was a “meh”, Boston was the best service I’ve had anywhere.

          4. dbleagle

            I’ve “souvenired” several chests of ice for our boat from the Lanai 4S. The local employees look the other way for anchored boats.

            The hotel looks nice, but I prefer rum drinks in the cockpit with friend than any resort pool.

        3. Lackadaisical

          Dvorak is good. I like Chopin.

          1. Spudalicious

            I have a very large dog named “Chopin”.

        4. MikeS

          This and this.

          1. Lackadaisical

            Plebe.

          2. MikeS

            Oh christ, we have classical music snobs here, too?

          3. Lackadaisical

            A simple NoDak like yourself just won’t understand high culture.

          4. MikeS

            The only reason I listed those two is because I’ve actually played them. (trombone) (years ago) So, minor emotional attachment.

          5. Lackadaisical

            Now I feel like an ass. 😛

            I have no musical talent, so I won’t pretend to understand.

          6. MikeS

            Ha-ha. Don’t, it was only high school band. But I really loved playing classical music, and those two were two of my absolute favorites.

            I really wish I would have stuck with it.

          7. Lackadaisical

            Never too late to pick something up.

            AFAIK my dad had never had musical inclinations and he’s started learning guitar at age 65+/-.

          8. Spudalicious

            Who let the NoDak rube in here?

          9. MikeS

            Who let the NoDak rube in here?

            Some weird guy who calls himself “Pope Jimbo” insisted I should stop by.

          10. Spudalicious

            This is what happens when you do things like let the Irish in.

            *tosses off bourbon, heads to the cupboard*

        5. Bach, Mozart, Telemann, Vivaldi, and Handel, for starters.

          1. Lackadaisical

            Telemann is underrated. Or underappreciated maybe? I always enjoy his works when I hear them on the classical station, but have never sought them out for whatever reason.

        6. The Bearded Hobbit

          Beethoven’s Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Ninth.

          Balero

          Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” and “An American in Paris”

          “The Ring”, all 16 hour of it.

          Gimme some time, I’ll come up with more.

          1. The Bearded Hobbit

            “Bolero”

          2. Akira

            I haven’t found the appeal of that one yet. It just seems a bit too… Repetitive. Maybe I need to sit down and focus on it more.

          3. Spudalicious

            Yeah, I said it. Spaghetti westerns have some very good classical style music.

            The Planets is amazing.

            Holst had a lot of other good stuff, specifically his Second Suite in F and First Suite in E Flat. They always make me picture a traditional English Christmas.

        9. Akira

          My tastes gravitate towards the Italian. I’ve been listening to a ton of Boccherini, Corelli, Albinoni, and of course Paganini (the absolute monster of violin). And I recently discovered Geminiani, another good one.

          I also like opera – mainly Verdi – which I consider to be under the umbrella of classical music. La Traviata is probably my favorite of his.

          I’m a big fan of Gilbert and Sullivan as well. Behind the clever, silly lyrics, there’s some great orchestral music. The two works of theirs that I listen to the most are also two the most underappreciated: The Grand Duke and Ruddigore.

          … Although one of my favorite pieces of music ever is Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

        10. Old Man With Candy

          Love Dvorak. But I’m very partial to Varese, Smetana, Janacek, and Grieg.

      2. MikeS

          I love his Hitch music. Not familiar with that particular movie.

          1. MikeS

            I…wut?!!!11!? You must see both versions. If you’re strapped for time, go with the 1956 version. It is superior, but the 1934 version is wonderful, as well.

          2. Rhywun

            Somehow I missed that one. I love pretty much all the Hitch I’ve seen.

          3. IIRC, the 1934 version is Peter Lorre’s first English-language role.

          4. MikeS

            I think you’re right, Ted. He plays a wonderful greasy, creepy prick. (yes, yes, his strong suit)

            Rhy, the ’56 version is considered one of Hitch’s very best. And I’m not a big Doris Day fan, but I really enjoyed her in it. Watch for it on TMC…it’s a very well spent 2-ish hours.

          5. Winston

    She’s a 7-year-old child you stupid idiot.

    1. MikeS

      “Charlize Theron revealed that her 7-year-old child Jackson Charlize Theron is transgender a child abuser.”

    2. Winston

      So what makes a 7 year-old “transgender” these days?

      1. They answer “Are you a boy or a girl” with whichever doesn’t match their biology.

        From that point on, there’s no takebacks unless the parent is sane.

      2. A lunatic parent and an active imagination?

        1. Lackadaisical

          The thing I don’t get (okay, I do but…) is that transgendered kids wouldn’t likely be a surprise to the parents, as these people often make it out to be.

          My niece only plays with dolls, books and kitchen stuff (even though her mom is super feminist and tries to get her to play with cars, etc.), and my son always makes motor noises and loves to play with cars, balls, tools, and his scooter thingie. They’re both 1.

          1. Rhywun

            I had no interest in stereotypical boy or girl toys. All I needed was a book and a quiet corner. And my Legos.

          2. Lackadaisical

            And my Legos.

            That goes without saying. Though I always thought of legos as more of a boy’s toy… though my sister would play occasionally, she was never as interested as my brother and I were.

          3. Rhywun

            You’re probably right. I only had 3 older brothers who were each weird in their own way so I didn’t see what girls were into.

          4. But Enough About Me

            “…and my Legos”

            You are a superior carbon-based life-form.

          5. Count Potato

            Sure, but otoh, just because a girl is a “tomboy” or a boy is a “sissy” doesn’t mean they are transgendered.

          6. Lackadaisical

            I mean, wouldn’t the be what it is? If we’re using terms that mean anything? Gender is an outward expression, like being a tomboy or a sissy is acting outwardly as if you’re the opposite gender.

            Really what most people are talking about are transsexuals, as you point out below.

          7. Count Potato

            Yes, but children grow out of things, and sexual dimorphism and gender expression change dramatically after puberty. It’s when those two are opposite that causes disphoria.

          8. My niece only plays with dolls, books and kitchen stuff (even though her mom is super feminist and tries to get her to play with cars, etc.), and my son always makes motor noises and loves to play with cars, balls, tools, and his scooter thingie. They’re both 1.

            It’s interesting observing my about to be 2 daughter. One minute she’s mothering a baby doll, the next she’s launching cars down the slide in a demolition derby.

            I definitely see her attempts to mimic motherly behaviors, but I don’t know if that just because she spends all day with my wife. Some of her personality is definitely nature, because we have tried to nurture it out of her (fear of bugs, for example)

          9. Lackadaisical

            Kids are a hoot. Mine has been giving us a lot of stress because of his eating, but I think we’ve finally reached a breaking point and are just going to accept he’s never going to gain weight like we’d like.

            I definitely see her attempts to mimic motherly behaviors, but I don’t know if that just because she spends all day with my wife. Some of her personality is definitely nature, because we have tried to nurture it out of her (fear of bugs, for example)

            Its not that my son never expresses caregiving behavior (he likes to feed us), but I guess he’s very stereotypically male in his interests esp. regarding toys, and his niece is the same way. I spend a lot of time with my boy and I will admit I push him slightly in that direction… but it doesn’t take much effort.

          12. I think we’ve finally reached a breaking point and are just going to accept he’s never going to gain weight like we’d like.

            Same here. She was born in the 15th percentile of height and weight , and besides a phase from 6-9 months, she has been lean. She’s getting taller, but i don’t think she has cracked 25 lbs yet. She eats when she’s hungry and not a moment sooner. Today was a good day. Pancakes for dinner meant she was eating off of our plates after she finished her serving.

            It’s weird dealing with a kid who isn’t food driven. Picky isn’t the right word, because she will try most everything eventually (eggs being the notable exception) , but some meals she’s happy with 3 blueberries and a cup of apple juice.

          13. Lackadaisical

            Ugh, tell me about it. My guy is the same way. He will eat anything, just not a lot of it, typically.

      3. Count Potato

        Ignorance. What makes someone transgender (what was previously called “transsexual”) is neurological dimorphism that isn’t established until puberty.

    3. KSuellington

      My five year old said he was a cat for about ten months. Then he grew out of it.

      1. Lackadaisical

        heh, one of my nieces (on the other side) thought she was a cat for a few years, then puberty hit… I don’t think she still pretends to be a cat anymore.

        So, when did you get the whiskers surgically implanted?

        1. KSuellington

          Funny enough the cure for the cat thing was us getting a cat. Within a week we never heard about it again.

      2. Winston

        Your refusal to accept that your son is a cat is like so totes offensive. The Humane society should confiscate him and give him a cage in the animal shelter.

        1. Lackadaisical

          I had a post to post, but I won’t post that post.

        2. MikeS

          Cage? I thought they just get a dumpster after being killed.

          1. He identified as a cat, not a fetus.

      3. Rhywun

        Sometimes I wonder… if my mother had been woke, would she have put me on hormones because I had zero interest in boy-stuff? Because that kind of would have sucked, since I really like being a man.

        1. MikeS

          I’ve wondered along those lines; are some number of these “trans” people just homosexual and being pushed into surgery because it’s the “in” thing? God, I hope not.

          1. Count Potato

            Unfortunately, that seems to be the case.

          2. Spudalicious

            Absolutely. A number of people have resigned from the transgender group in Britain’s NHS. One of the issues sited was homosexuals being pushed into reassignment surgery.

          3. dontreadonme

            Had a patient this week becoming a woman for her lover who was a woman becoming a man. I is so confused.

          4. The Bearded Hobbit

            I knew a guy who was getting a sex-change operation so he could become a lesbian.

            Wait, whu. . .?

          5. Spudalicious

            I knew one of those too. Ended up being one of the ugliest chicks I’ve ever seen.

          6. Gustave Lytton

            Huh. So did I.

          7. mr simple

            I saw a study that said 80-90% of teens who think they’re transgender desist and most end up being gay or lesbian. There are many videos on YouTube of young people who have gone about halfway through the process before deciding against it and are now pissed at the people who pushed them into getting mastectomies or whatever.

          8. Winston

            If we excluded all the gays, the bisexuals, the weird straight kids and the kids who say stupid stuff when they are young how many transgendered people would there actually be?

            Also isn’t it very strange how “Ignore gender stereotypes!” and “Accept Gays!” mantras have very quickly transformed into “Hey maybe your kid is a tranny”?

          9. Count Potato

            The right isn’t that high, but it is still a serious issue.

          10. Count Potato

            um , rate

        2. Lackadaisical

          Maybe. That is an interesting thought.

          For a short time I wished I was a girl, but mainly because I thought they had it easy… Also firmly in the glad-I’m-a-man club now.

          1. Gustave Lytton

            It’s almost as if childhood is about figuring out how to be an adult.

        3. Winston

          So instead of being a gay man you would be what exactly? A transman or a transwomen? Nonbinary?

          1. Rhywun

            A basket-case, likely.

        4. KSuellington

          I absolutely think at least a good portion of the whole transmania is teens that are likely gay and are getting encouraged to take hormones instead. It’s one of the many fucked up things about this mass hysteria.

          1. Winston

            I wonder: until recently how “progressive” was it to insist that gays should have sex change operations?

        5. grrizzly

          To sum up: transgenderism is the gay genocide.

    4. Juvenile Bluster

      My daughter from ages 5-9 has gone from being pretty neutral on girl/boy things to being the girliest girl one’s ever seen, to being a tomboy today.

        I’ve never donated to political causes except the NRA and the Ron Paul campaign back in ’08, but damnit, I might throw some money to the Bad Orange Man in 2020. This is contingent on him not doing anything incredibly stupid and statist, but that threshold lowers as Team Blue gets more and more statist in their efforts to bring him down.

        They need to be severely punished for the shit they have done in their frantic effort to destroy the Bad Orange Man.

        Hell, you push me far enough and I’ll buy one of those fucking hats, and I’m not a baseball cap person at all.

        1. I don’t think there’s anything short of Calvin Coolidge returning fron the grave that would cause me to throw money at politics, but the progs are pretty damn close to motivating me to vote next year.

          1. Lackadaisical

            It’s nice to know that the folks here have so much in common with me. Quite paradoxical for a bunch of individualists. I don’t think quite so many would enjoy classical music on your typical forum.

            That was painfully mechanical. listen to a true pianist sometime.

            The organ piece I linked above was pretty mechanical too – I’ve heard way better versions. I think both videos are more “educational” in nature.

            I was just thinking the other day how I’d deal with my child dying, and I’m not sure I could. There are reasons why people were relatively more conservative then.

          2. KSuellington

            Possibly the greatest thing about living right now is that your loved ones usually stay alive till they’re old.

          3. Lackadaisical

            Definitely, although the lack of hardship seems to have all sorts of unfortunate effects on human psychology.

          4. Gustave Lytton

            Unless they go at an early age. Harder to cope now I think.

          5. Lackadaisical

            It is probably harder to know people who have experienced it, and thus, know how to deal with that.

          6. Gustave Lytton

            Yeah, plus it’s not seen as normal anymore. More allowance for navel gazing vs expectation of suck it up and carry on.

    4. MikeS

      And I’ll just add; neither are new to me. I’ve listened to them both many times. But in close succession was…different. They are actually more similar than most would guess.

      Or…I’m drunk.

      1. Lackadaisical

        *insert why not both .img*

  25. MikeS

    Very good video. I’m only about halfway in, but he really explains it all well:

    The TRUTH Why Modern Music Is Awful

    1. Rhywun

      Please provide a two- or three-sentence summary when you’re done.

      1. MikeS

        I know…20 minutes. But he touches on so many different topics/reasons.

        I’ll try and give a quick summation

      2. Lackadaisical

        I watched 2 minutes.

        Less variety in musical styles and instruments within and between songs? Less complexity basically.

        That said, I watched Blurred Lines right after.

        1. KSuellington

          Hopefully the topless version.

          1. Lackadaisical

            Is there another version?

          2. KSuellington

            They got ripped off by Marvin Gaye’s relatives for that one big time.

    2. Gustave Lytton

      Does it have anything to do with auto tune and uncommon pitches that sound like “singing” with a mouthful of marbles?

    3. MikeS

      Start here, at 4:22

      And then this part at 6:46

      1. Rhywun

        So he’s talking about “chart-topping songs of the last ten or twenty years”.

        I.e. nothing I have ever listened to. I… guess… it’s useful to understand why it’s all garbage but I already knew that it’s all the same shit over and over again.

        1. MikeS

          Yes. For “old guys” like us it’s not so much a reason to change our ways, as it is scientific proof that those damn kids should get off our lawns.

  26. Spudalicious

    Night, Glibs. I’m going to attempt to turn little orange, clay discs into powder tomorrow morning.

    1. Gustave Lytton

      Have fun! I got my bar oil leak fixed so I’m going to use a little orange spinning disc to turn wood into powder. If the soil being delivered first isn’t a heap of soggy mud.

    2. MikeS

      Fair winds and clear skies.

    3. straffinrun

      Me too. I forgot to put the lid on my jar of Tang.

    1. Gustave Lytton

      Yet no guff for repping Total Gym?

    2. It is sad . . . after Walker Texas Ranger he should be repping a revolver brand.

    3. Rhywun

      It’s so cute how woke Yahoo wants to be. Get in line, biyatch.

    4. MikeS

      How in the hell do they even still manage to employ a “news” division? The only, single thing they can do right anymore is fantasy sports. Which they actually do very, very well.

      How long before emoji becomes a fully functional script without needing insertions from other scripts?

      1. Heroic Mulatto

        When whatever generation comes after Generation Z happens.

      2. Rhywun

        With emojis plus some help from twitter-speak we have a pretty close approximation of Egyptian or Chinese written language from a few thousand years ago.

        1. But Enough About Me

          Ah, progress.

    2. straffinrun

      If I were Jewish, I’d know whether or not to be offended by that.

      1. Chafed

        (((I’ll))) help. HM is nuts.

    1. commodious spittoon

      Is this MFK but I want to tell all of them to piss off?

      1. You could pee on them.

    2. Chafed

      You had an interesting seder.

  28. DenverJ

    Bonjour. That’s French for “Hola”.

    1. Chafed

      I feel bad for her. No stupid human tricks; just a disease.

  29. Planted 3 new seedlings today.

    Black spruce, white spruce and Douglas fir.

      Johnny Appleseed was a serial rapist.

      1. Great-great-great-grandfather of STEVE SMITH?

        1. straffinrun

          Yep. His other great great great grandfather rapist was Paul Bunyon. Named his cattle “Babe” and left puddles of cum all over Minnesota.

    2. Gustave Lytton

      Nice. In about thirty years, you can be a proud papa.

    1. straffinrun

      Cuz only 2 minutes of that would be too little.

    2. Chafed

      Good lord that’s awful. I didn’t know fisting a snare drum makes it wail.

  30. straffinrun

    This talk about dead kids and instrumental music ? got me thinking about this song and the homicidal rage it evokes in me.

    Back to work. Just read the advice column in the Yomiuri. Lady says the she stuck her 80 year old mum in a nursing home. Mum asks, “How long do I have to stay here?”

    Sad, yet amusing.

    1. Chafed

      Isn’t it Saturday?

      Any time anyone right of Stalin does anything which can remotely be contextualized as anti-whatever, it proves this right-of-Stalin FASCIST is anti-whatever, and whatever he says to defend himself is just lies.

      A reliably antisemitic party does something pretty antisemitic, and we’re all just going to pretend their antisemitism wasn’t antisemitic because honestly who can tell with these goddamn Jews, am I right? Give these chiselers an inch, right?

    Here’s one rescue breath for this thread. Is there a second?
