STEVE SMITH READ COMMENTS FROM FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN HOOMANS…HIM SEE HIM DISAPPOINT.
STEVE SMITH NO WANT FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN HOOMANS BE DISAPPOINT! SO HIM MAKE OPEN POST….WITH ADVICE. LATER, HIM GO TELL SPUD HOW SORRY HIM IS…IN PERSON CRYPTID.
BUT HERE ADVICE. FROM STEVE SMITH.
Q. A woman sat behind me at a coffeehouse, put her headphones on, and started up a very personal conversation via phone. I was working on my computer, so I had my own headphones on. However, I could not turn up the music loud enough (and at a tolerable enough level for my ears) to drown her out.
I shot a couple of glances behind me (I know, ridiculously passive-aggressive), and, after the second one, she said loudly, “Hang on a minute,” then directed her attention to me and asked, “Is it all right that I am on the phone?” I turned and said, “Well, it’s a bit loud.”
She snapped back (loudly), “I am NOT loud!” I replied, “OK,” and turned around. She ended up gathering up her stuff in a huff and left.
I was left to wonder if I am the rude one by thinking it’s quite rude to hold loud phone conversations in spaces like coffeehouses and restaurants. With more and more people working remotely, I have encountered this more frequently.
I’ve had people say to me, “How is it any different than two people sitting next to you and having a conversation?” It just is. No matter who you are, you speak in a louder voice when talking on the phone (especially in a noisy coffeehouse) than you do just chatting with a friend at your table. And there are now several studies that show that hearing one side of a conversation causes more distraction and less ability to remember things than hearing a two-sided conversation, apparently because your mind is rushing to fill in the other, unheard side of the conversation.
If I have to take a quick phone call while in a coffeehouse or similar space, I step away briefly. If the call is going to be longer, I pack up my stuff and head to my car. Perhaps I am overly conscious of my fellow coffee drinkers or diners, but this seems like the most considerate thing to do.
So, is it rude to hold a long phone conversation or conference call in a busy place of business? And, if Miss Manners does deem it rude, what is the best way to handle it in the future? I really doubt that my passive-aggressive glances are the right approach.
A. STEVE SMITH UNDERSTAND DILEMMA. HIM OFTEN WANT TELL HIKER, “WHY SO LOUD ON BLUETOOTH? IT TOO EASY FIND YOU! NO CHALLENGE!”
MANNERS IMPORTANT. WHEN IN PUBLIC PLACE. STEVE SMITH ALWAYS MAKE SURE HIM NICE QUIET WHEN APPROACH CAMPGROUND. IT MORE POLITE WHEN HIM RAPE RV PEOPLE!
SO STEVE SMITH SAY NEXT TIME, HIT LOUD RUDE HOOMAN ON HEAD WITH BIG ROCK. THEN THEM NO LOUD.
FREE CASCADIA!

“Baltimore teen given birth control implant at school without parent’s permission”
https://www.abc15.com/news/national/teen-given-birth-control-implant-at-school-without-parents-permission
I am okay, I guess, with medical privacy laws re: teens/parents. But how about the schools stick to, you know, school. She can go to a clinic after school to get her implant.
I am fine with it too. Unemancipated minors have no privacy rights from their own parents.
Outrageous. “My house, my rules” etc. etc.
I would have a hard time not kicking that kid out.
…and then suing the school district and any involved employees.
The problem here is similar to Concealed Carry. If I’m packing some heat that can’t be seen (metal detectors excepted) the sign is meaningless. If a teen age girl (or any other female) quietly gets her birth control devices and no one knows, what’s the big deal?
Its only an issue when parents are involved.
There are many things I concealed from my parents, my kids also didn’t spill their guts with every bit of mischief they may have been involved in.
This isn’t getting a box of condoms. This was surgically implanted into her arm (incorrectly, to boot). A very minor surgery, yes, but still a surgery on a minor with no parental notification, much less consent. That’s BS.
Condoms are OK? If Mom finds the condoms its “Good that you are using these, Honey, as long as you’re not using implants”
or, “We’re Catholic, we don’t use birth control”
Is the problem that Mom doesn’t know or is it the minor surgery and Mom doesn’t know, like ear piercing?
A tattoo is a helluva way to go through life, son.
Ling ago, my bestie let her son get a tattoo at 15. Okay, whatevs. He rolled up his sleeve (it was on his forearm where it couldn’t be missed) and I had a really hard time expressing approval.
It was awful. It was supposed to be a scorpion or something—I’m not clear on that—but it looked like a pussy-whipped crawdad.
Would it have been too much to ask to find the boy a good artist?
Mojeaux: At Viva Las Vegas, there’s a huge tattoo room where people can schedule to get new ink. Multiple people get tatts there and show them off proudly after the fact. A couple years back there was a girl showing off her new calf ink, which was a Betty Boop-esque girl sitting on a six-sided die, with two sides showing… a 1 and a 6.
*groan*
At least it could be fixed by converting the 1 side to a 3.
Call me old fashioned, but if someone is going to be putting medical devices inside a child, parental consent seems like a no-brainer.
@MikeS, I would be furious and I would sue.
But in this environment, would I win? I don’t know.
@Mo’: If parents just keep accepting this shit, the slippery slope leads us to Charlie Gard. I really hope the US doesn’t get there.
Funny you should say that. Charlie Gard is never far from my thoughts when I think about my children and healthcare (specifically socialized medicine) together.
I’m pretty much OK with 99% of Baltimore residents not procreating.
If they’re going to have sex education predicated on the idea that the kids are going to do it anyway, then they need to have alcohol (and vaping) education predicated on the idea that the kids are going to do it anyway.
Just say “No” to your kids when they want money for alcohol, drugs, birth control, cars, tattoos, etc. Prohibition works, we know that.
People who have loud, personal conversations on their phones in public should have said phones… inserted.
I’m sure STEVE SMITH would be up for the task.

Exactly the reason I like a small phone

The More You Know™
Smuggling chargers at the same time? Ouch.
There are chargers where the tines fold into the plastic body.
In fact, an AC to USB converter brick is about 1 inch cubed, with a short cable wrapped in a condom, that’s probably easier to manage than the phone.
Ahem…at the same time…not an either or kind of thing…
Set a small listening/recording device , a fake one, like a cigarette pack, near the annoying person and ask them to speak louder.
Or you could get a cell phone jammer. Plans are available on the intarwebz.
So if someone could explain to the girlfriend that she doesn’t need to yell when she’s talking on the phone, I’d appreciate it.
First someone needs to explain it to me.
OK, modern phones have noise cancellation. This means they have at least two microphones, the one you talk into, and one (usually in the back) to pick up ambient noise. If you’re too loud, the second microphone will start picking up what you’re saying, and cancelling that out as noise. When I can hear the conversation a floor away (and four rooms), you’re too loud.
But I dont sound loud to me.
How many black eyes does she have?
/I keed
None. Not my style at all. I will admit to commenting on the calls (the same as I will to random people doing the same in public) and giving commentary.
Whycome you other the hearing-impaired?
I don’t, they should use text based communication.
When they are done with your girlfriend they can talk to my wife.
“Hi, uh, Mrs. Chafed. How you doin’? Really? Well, tell me all about it…”
/like Q, I keed. Wait….
My phone etiquette is that you shouldn’t take/make a phone call if there is a captive audience, like on an elevator, car, or a restaurant.
Same goes for whistling.
If people have an option to get away from you, like at a park, talk all ya like.
I whistle when I get nervous. Which is most often when I’m in the elevator with strangers. Which is pretty frequent considering I live in an elevator building.
Whistling grates on my nerves and heightens my
violentagressiveantisocial tendencies.FWIW, it’s mostly under my breath and nobody has ever reacted to it that I’m aware of. I still would rather cut it out.
At least I don’t engage in meaningless chit-chat.
So no one will suspect…?
As long as its a happy tune…
I used to have this fucking job where every single person in the office would spend the first two hours of every day visiting their friends at their cubicles and inhaling donuts (except me – I had the one job in the company where I had so much shit to do that I was lucky if I got a lunch break).
Anyway, these people would stand around talking in very loud whispers, which for some odd reason was far, far, far more annoying than just talking at normal volume.
Luckily, I bounced the fuck outta that job after 4 months.
Anyway, these people would stand around talking in very loud whispers, which for some odd reason was far, far, far more annoying than just talking at normal volume.
My dad would do that too when we were growing up, and yes, I too found it incredibly irritating.

I am at the airport preparing to fly to Anchorage for work. Ergo: my life is better than yours.
STEVE SMITH WROTE PHYSICAL INSPECTION SECTION OF TRAINING MANUAL FOR TSA. AND BY WROTE, MEAN…
I am at the airport because my connecting flight home was cancelled.
Ergo, your life is better than mine.
I’m so sorry. But we do have a decent amount of snow on the ground here.
Yeah. Digging the car out of the parking lot may be fun.
And I think my closest neighbor will probably not have a problem with me parking in their driveway while I clear mine.
Ugh! Can you get to a hotel, or do you have to stay put?
The new flight out is at 6:15. Minus 1.5 hours for security, travel to and from the hotel… Doesn’t seem worth it.
But wtf O’Hare? Everything closes at 10:00?
But I have a charger and wifi.
I’ve had that joyous experience. I think I was in Detroit? Connection cancelled, airline hotel accommodations a cluster fuck, fall asleep just about in time to wake up for am flight.
Another was a red-eye from Anchorage to Seattle with next day flight to Spokane. Seattle terminals closed for cleaning early am and everybody kicked out past security.
My success rate for making it home on the scheduled day is <50%. That is the biggest problem with visiting family for the holidays.
That is a pretty bad success rate. I have been luckier and try to keep my connections to only one.
I think my most frustrating delay was when we landed on time but there was a plane in our gate and so we sat on the plane waiting for the gate to clear while my connecting flight departed.
My luckiest was when my flight from was delayed because of de-icing and arrived two hours late. I was resigned to staying in a hotel for the night. On a whim, I walked over to where my connection departed from. It was still there waiting on a maintenance issue. It was fixed about 5 minutes after I got on.
I’m sitting in my basement wearing a bathrobe and freeballing, waiting for my hair to dry just a little and the caffeine to kick in.

#27: You know what, that bunny’s kind of a jerk and I’m fine with it getting boiled.
Studies show that the human brain actually hates hearing half a conversation. Something about it is irritating because the brain is always trying to fill in the other half of the conversation. So talking loudly on the phone is naturally irritating to others. Way worse than just talking to someone normally.
/can confirm
Studies show other people are annoying.
That’s all I got.

I work at the library sometimes. At my alma mater’s library, this is not a problem. No one is loud. Even the loud whispers are soft. At my closest community library, it is occasionally a problem, but the kids’ storytime is much, much worse.

Most of the comments are just awful.
Yeah, the charters in NYC have miles-long waiting lists of mostly minority kids. Deblasio is doing his best to put a stop to that.
How dare they escape our government mandated hellscape.
You see, “progressives” just care too much about these kids. Their boundless compassion won’t let them release these kids from a government-run school with a 60% graduation rate and daily gang violence.
Look who went to the good public schools.
Try 30%.
As someone who went to Pulbic Schools in New York state… Get as far from that school system as you possibly can. NYSUT is cancer.
Well when minorities start funneling as much money to the DNC as the teachers unions then maybe they’ll give a shit.
I genuinely wonder if Team Red can stop stepping on their dick long enough to use this to get a significant share of the Black and Hispanic vote.

We certainly have problems with our cops and the system over here but things can always get worse.
And they will.
In much of continental Europe, it is still routine for cops to beat confessions out of suspects.
Where in western Europe is this common?
France comes to mind.
Speaking of France, it’s also worth nothing that there is no right of habeas corpus in the country. The police can keep you in custody for up to 48 hours just for shits and giggles. The conditions of your average French jail/prison are shocking even by American standards. Like indistinguishable from 3rd World shithole conditions.

“The family of a woman brutally murdered is furious after learning that one of the men being hailed as a hero in the Friday terrorist knife attack on London Bridge was the murderer they thought was in jail.
Amanda Champion, a disabled 21-year-old woman, was killed by James Ford in 2003. Ford ran into Amanda in the woods in Kent and proceeded to strangle her and slit her throat, according to the BBC. Amanda’s body was discovered three weeks later, badly decomposed. Ford was discovered as the prime suspect after he made several calls to a charity confessing the crime and threatening to kill himself.
Ford, now 42, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime in 2004 with the judge recommending that he serve a minimum of 15 years in prison. Ford was free on prison day release on Friday when he witnessed Usman Khan violently attack pedestrians on London Bridge with a knife. Ford and several other people intervened in the attack to subdue Khan until police arrived and gunned him down. At the time of his arrest, police described Ford’s actions as “motiveless crime and a senseless crime” and described him personally as a “very dangerous man.”
Khan, 28, was also out of prison serving only six years of a nearly two-decade sentence after being convicted of “terror-related charges” in 2012. He and Ford attended the same prison sponsored educational event the day of the attack.
A police liaison contacted Amanda’s family to inform them that Ford had been spotted on television with the other bystanders being hailed as heroes. “He is not a hero. He is a murderer out on day release, which us as a family didn’t know anything about. He murdered a disabled girl,” Amanda’s aunt Angela Cox said to the Daily Mail. “He is not a hero, absolutely not. I don’t care what he’s done today, he’s a murderer.”
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/convicted-murderer-on-day-release-was-hero-who-tackled-london-terrorist
If he was on Day release, he was technically still serving the sentence under the UK’s fucked up laws.
Holy shit! That’s one hell of a Milkshake Duck.
Meh, people are complicated and can do both bad and good.
Also, it’s already been 15 years since the murder, so he would have served the minimum the judge gave him by now.
Even psychopaths have morals. Just not the same as everyone else’s. I’m sure there are lines Dahmer or Gacy wouldn’t cross. BTK was supposedly a great dad. Evil is such an easy explaination.
What Ford did was terrible. No doubt the family thinks he is irredeemable. This makes me wonder if he is reformed.
No shit. It’s been 40 years and I’m still trying to figure out if By-Tor is good or bad.
That sounds like reasonable self/other defense to me. Why are Fords actions a “motiveless and senseless crime”?
There must be something more to the story.
I think they were talking about his murder of the girl, not the bridge incident.
They were referring to the murder of the girl in 2004..

Article about the terrorist attack on London Bridge on Friday. The terrorist had been convicted of terrorist activities previously but was inexplicably released just before he committed his attack.
Has quotes from the family of the murdered children going on and on about how their dead son and daughter (who, remember, were killed by a catch-and-release terrorist just last week!!!) wouldn’t have wanted the attack that killed them to be used by icky right-wingers as an excuse for oppressing the victims of the racist criminal justice system.
As in, to make people convicted of terrorist crimes to finish their sentences.

I guess, to be fair, you haven’t taken a look at Canada, Sweden, or Germany.
None of those conquered the world and held it for centuries.
France may like a word….
Spain had its century in the sun too, but comparatively speaking, France had meager territories and didn’t hold onto them as long.
And Rome might like an audience.
You said Canada, Sweden, and Germany, none of whom EVER had anything close to the empire Britain did even into the 20th century.
That’s not the first time you’ve said that to me. Please, elaborate why they are noticeably worse.
They don’t have a first or second amendment. Tell me why you would rather live there?
What the hell are you talking about? That has nothing to do with anything.
Yeah, we weren’t talking about Murika. Now tell me why Germany, Sweden, or Canada are better than the UK. Why would you rather live there?
No, no. You said those countries are worse than the UK, and I asked why. I don’t answer your question before you answer mine. Fair’s fair.
“No, no. You said those countries are worse than the UK, and I asked why. I don’t answer your question before you answer mine. Fair’s fair.”
who’s the Nigel Farage or even Boris Johnson of Sweden, Canada, or Germany? Which of the Euro 2 have chosen to leave the EU?
Counter, your turn. Tell me why the UK is worse and why you’d choose there and why?
‘who’s the Nigel Farage or even Boris Johnson of Sweden, Canada, or Germany?’
There isn’t any, far as I can tell. But in my view that only punctuates the point. Both of them don’t seem to exert much energy into stopping the national health service from denying people care to the point of death, the surveillance state, insane prison sentencing or the lack there of, the right to arm yourself, ect, ect,. At least, I sure as hell haven’t heard anything about any legislation passed about that. They seem focused on Brexit, which is why people support them, but even after Brexit passed, and they gained power I don’t see any progress on they issue. They seem completely ineffectual from what I can tell.
As far as the other nations, it may just be due to what gets drawn to my attention or what I unconsciously tune out, but I don’t read stories coming from those nations telling me about the topics I mentioned above being abused to such an absurd level.
The situation in Sweden may be comparable or worse from what little I hear, but news from there seems muted at times. By the government or not, I don’t know.
I guess to point a point on it, I think Canada’s mostly lags behind the UK in its totalitarian policies, and Sweden and Germany’s main problems come from inviting in too many people into their lands with far different views and customs and had no real plan on how to assimilate them. The UK seems to be going be going straight Orwellian as fast as possible. Just my view.
I’m confused. I don’t see where Trigger Hippie said he wanted to live there. He said they were demoralized and defeated.
There you go, spoiling my answer to the question.

Nope. My family know where I stand, and I hosted.
Female Joker Gives a Ted Talk
LGBTQ+ and Polyamory in Animals: Yes, It’s Natural | Antonia Forster | TEDxBristol

Yes it is, that’s what separates us from the rest of the animals, Idiot!
The male alnglerfish is a fraction of the size of the female and physically fuses with her during mating. From then on out they exist as a single organism.
Ducks reproduce through rape.
Lions kill of any extant cubs when joining a pride.
Just because animals do it doesn’t mean it’s something applicable to humans.
Like when horny elephant seals rape baby seals to death?
I wouldn’t say those things are equivalent either, but I don’t think you think that either. Just saying.

I got so much done, but I look at the work remaining on the horses, see the tiny details that should match what I did on the lions, and start to despair. Unless we get snowed-in, I’m not finishing these soon. It’s a morale problem I suppose. Somehow these horses have more little details than the lions. And some cruel artist has the tow line attached to their bit instead of the harness. These poor horses are pulling with their teeth.
Take your time, enjoy it as much as possible, and post some pics, please,
Upthread I asked if you did Dioramas on commission. Do you?
I can and do, I’ll have a workshop setup within a month,
I was thinking that this thing would look better with the circus behind it.
You doing a democrat debate panel?
No. If you remember a year ago I was doing a series of kitbash articles. The end product had circus animals pulling a stranded high-tech IFV.
I’m going to have one more article for the completed project,
I can start design and pricing now of course,
If you’ll email me at scribe at evcombine dot net with what information you need from me, we can get rolling.
Very good
Mail sent, hopefully I got the addy right
Got it and replied.
Another Babylon Bee type story:
Republican Voter Suppression Now Targets the Dead, Warns Top Democrat
NEW YORK – Voter ID requirements could stifle voter turn-out among Dead Americans, warned Rep. Adam Schiff. “It’s hard enough for post-mortal Americans to reach polling places from 6 feet under or to re-assemble their bodies from scattered ashes. The requirement that all voters show ID in person before voting is as every much an outrage as ‘separate, but equal’ “, he explained as he encompassed his neck with his thumb and forefinger.
Schiff is a part of a growing chorus condemning voter ID requirements. The ACLU tweeted that all Americans, regardless of pulse, have a right to vote. Meanwhile, the Association of Trans-Dead Americans was equally vocal in denouncing the requirements. “As a man who identifies as a long dead pharaoh, I deal with enough hardships, such as random people yanking on my mummy bandages to spin me around,” said Imhotep IV of Toledo, Ohio.
Members of the same group protested the Toledo GOP office with a haunt-in, whereby they donned bed sheets, milled around, and made “Ooooooo” noises at passers-by.
He’s trying to prepare for 2024.

Ha, but keep in mind it is only Schiffs giant noggin that makes his neck look so small and his head has to be that big to encase those eyeballs. Each is as big as a pool ball. Stick pool not swim pool.
When he talks, it looks like he’s trying to impeach his eyes from his head.

“This year there will be 24 original holiday movies broadcast. […]
The number of black leads in those 24 movies, for example, this year is four.”
Um, 4/24 = 1/6 = about 16%.
Looks up… apparently black people compose 12.6% of the population.
So, they’re over-represented by about one, 3/24 = 1/8 = 12.5%.
23.5 inches of snow.
We came back from Turkey day down south. Spent 1 hour shoveling just so we could get the truck parked off the main street. I spent another 2 hours blowing snow to create a 3 foot wide x 20 foot long clear area in our driveway. I gave up after the frostbite attacked my fingers. No high school tomorrow for son. No college tomorrow for the middle daughter. Wife can’t get her car out of the alley tomorrow. Only one package of bacon left in the freezer. SEND ALCOHOL!
No alcohol, but you have my thoughts and prayers.
My snow blower broke down 1/2 way through the job. 15 “. Smelled like a burning clutch and then the auger wouldn’t turn. I got the driveway/yard so I can get into the garage. I saw Duluth got the real blizzard.
Shear pin?
Yeah, they just keep saying we’re supposed to get 12+ inches and that it’s supposed to end overnight between Monday and Tuesday.
And I absolutely have to work tomorrow if I want to get my holiday pay for the two days off for Thanksgiving.
Jeez! Stay warm, inspirational beer toss,
That’s Donner party snow there. If they had enough booze they wouldn’t have eaten each other. Don’t make the same mistake.

Hello Derp,
I can ignore the lyrics and appreciate the voice and talent in Dulce Gonzalez’s video. She reminded me of a singer/songwriter (and another pianist) named Aslyn.
Interestingly to me, one of the songs of Aslyn’s that I thought of is named “Be the Girl”, which perhaps many of our fellow voters hoped Secretary Clinton was/or would become during that voting cycle.
Asyln is not running for president, so far as I understand such things.
However, long time readers of the unhallowed threads elsewhere might recall that Almanian! runs in perpetuity, and even death cannot prevent him from doing less harm than his more active candidates.
The number of hard corps country music listeners that voted for HRC in 2016 must number “in the dozens, dozens I tell you!”
I hope the band received a decent paycheck since it was the last performance of their career.

I’m outraged by the extreme language here.
This is approaching peak “OK Boomer”
Is he wearing onions on his belt?
Isn’t Joe too old to be a boomer?
Some are saying he’s the ‘silent generation’, whatever that is. Not really an expert in these matters though.
b. 1942
He is not a boomer.
That’s the one generational divide that is pretty clear-cut.
Yep. My dad, 1942. My mom, 1943.
Silent generation. Babies of the greatest generation born before the greatest generation went off to war. Smallish generation.
The babies of the silent generation was even smaller. We are now lumped in at the beginning of GenX.
My mom was 1936. Never thought to wonder what generation she was in. So that’s “silent generation”?
Yep. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Generation
Our “generation,” which got lumped into GenX was about 1958 to 1968, children of the silent generation. We were once called Baby Busters. My birth year, 1968, had the fewest births on record in the United States.
http://www.babybusters.org/contents.htm
I really HATE being lumped in with GenX. There is a whole different cultural feel between those of us born in the 60s and those born in the late 70s and 80s.
I’m 1969 and feel very much Gen X.
*shrug*
*This could be because I have three brothers born in the early 60s and it feels like I share nothing with them culturally
I go with it. The 80s GenX memes are funny. That Bowling for Soup video “1985” is awesome.
80s? Gen X ends around 82-83 or so. I’d say about 63-64 to 82-83
is pretty much core Gen X. Too young to remember Kennedy
or worry about Vietnam in any sort of adult way, but old enough
to get nuked roller-skating home from blockbuster? Gen X.
1971, baby! Also, today is my birthday – 48 trips around the Sun and it finds me depressed beyond measure. A cheeseburger smothered in Bearnaise and a strong Bourbon drink help a bit.
Happy Birthday, l0!! Please try not to be depressed! Would it help to know I’m ten years older than you?
Shit. Now I’M depressed.
Hope you can enjoy your day anyway!
Thank you very much. I’m alright; just chock full of regret, ennui, and a wee touch of self-loathing. The burger (rare, w/Havarti cheese, bacon, Bearnaise sauce) was was more delicious than I imagined it could be. Now I can safely sublimate the horrors of introspection into making the kid’s lunches and getting them to school.
Live…from a SCIF?
Pete Davidson asks fans to sign $1 million NDA before attending comedy shows: report
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/pete-davidson-nda
***
Pete Davidson is taking extra precautions to protect his comedy shows.
The “Saturday Night Live” star, 26, is reportedly making attendees of his shows sign a $1 million nondisclosure agreement before admission.
One fan, who attended a show at the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Fransico, posted screenshots of the contract and detailed its demands on Facebook, according to Consequence of Sound.
“I got an email today informing me that in order to see this show I have to sign a nondisclosure agreement,” the post said. “In that NDA the signer CANNOT GIVE ANY INTERVIEWS, OPINIONS OR CRITIQUES about it in ANY form whatsoever including blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or any other social networking.”

Christ, what an asshole!
I think “pussy” is the word you’re looking for.
Who?
The guy who mocked the Republican congressman with the eye patch and recently took shit for not being woke enough about something. Now he’s so scared of the SJW mob he’s making people sign this nonsense. He’s a pussy.
A gross person who somehow attracts women like flies and who people mysteriously think is “funny”.
You forgot one level of security.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1eUIK9CihA
But the depiction of entering a SCIF is amazingly accurate, in a important moral if not literal sense. (sarc)
Love that show. I don’t remember any B&W episodes when I was a kid.
Like Gilligan’s Island apparently.
(For some reason autocorrect wants Gilligan’s Islam. I’m intrigued)
Here on Jaleel Khan’s isle?
I’m gonna need more beer to come up with a theme song for that.
Ah but we did get the B&W Gilligan’s Island – that show was ever-present. Get Smart was a rarer treat, so maybe I missed the early episodes.

Had to go to bed, so I couldn’t respond to Hype’s objection to calling Kwong’s piece on Trump a “hit piece”. Maybe. Was the original tweet a neutral tweet? I don’t think so, but I could see how people could make the case. I always found the “Obama is golfing too much!” stuff stupid. I found her tweet stupid and motivated. So I checked out some of Kwong’s other work. Found gems like this and this. To me it looks like she has the same problem most of the media has: selection bias. Looking at her body of work over the past couple months alone, it clear to me she’s a hack. Tell me she wrote that Trump Thanksgiving tweet out of a sense of straight journalism because I don’t think so.
Wow. “No quid pro quo” is headlined Quid Pro Quo Notes. Nothing disingenuous there.
Another crime update from Flathead Valley, Montana.
Huh. Apparently the Governer just shut down the state offices for tomorrow.
I don’t have to go into work, but someone has to reschedule the interviews we had scheduled.

Well, the city also instituted even/odd snow parking, which means there’s less than half as much parking as needed come 7am – and I’m parked on the wrong side of the road for the first cycle.
Ugh, even-odd parking. Make work & revenue collection.
Huzzah for a day off! Thank you for sharing your new Hive Tyrant thingie; it looks great. The detail they are able to get into these sculpts today is spectacular. The Screamer-Killer was the largest Tyranid beastie back in my day.
Wow, that’s an embarassing sculpt. It’s amazing how much better they’ve gotten over the years.
Is it really going to be that bad??
Most likely just rain here.
I don’t know. I was about to go look outside.
Snow appears to be up to the axle on regular cars. So, 8 inches or thereabouts.
Mind you, it’s still snowing.

Holy crap… so… tedious. Me, me, me. I’m so interesting. I’m so oppressed. I’m so fucking transgressive.
These crappy TEDx talks are diluting the TED brand.
“I know you are all wondering if I’m male or female.”

It’s a good point, though.

But that is not what was remarkable. What was remarkable was that I turned it off to find Houston turning NE over its knee and taking a fucking belt to Brady’s arse.

It’s going to be a long year.

Nice thing about Hawaii. Very few presidential race ads out here- even during the general election.
No offense, dbl, but you could have just stopped after the first sentence. It stands alone without any kind of qualifier.
?
I got one here, in LA on the television. Not cheap. I guess when you have money to burn, you just burn it.
Just remember; it’s pronounced ‘throat warbler mangrove’.
I saw some in Houston for some unfAthomable reason.
Wait–are you talking about seeing yachts in Houston?
I sort of agree with that (f’n Houston, amirite?), but, if yo don’t have access to saltwater and are gonna buy a yacht, you’ll take whatever you can get.
/cue ‘any port in the storm’ jokes
No, that was a Gilmored response re: Bloomberg ads.

Christmas music everywhere. Does anyone think, “Thank God I get to hear Wham! or Mariah Carey one more time”? At least the Mavericks put a beating on the Lakers.
In general I have a deep and all consuming antipathy to any Christmas Music. There are a very few performances which I do appreciate, but not until much closer to Saturnalia.
Be nice this month. Fuck the rest of the year. That’s what it feels like to me.
To be fair, there is plenty of non-Christmas music that involves being nice. It’s just that it typically is romantic in nature.
That said, I’ll happily take one month of pushing niceness over no months. If you’re in any way misanthropic, getting 11 months out of the year to not be harangued, via music,about how treat others can’t be all bad.
If you enjoy it, cool.
Whoa, my Nippon-based friend! I never claimed to “enjoy” it ( imagine the air quotes)…
No, I am, for the most part, quite fine with not hearing any. I would find it odd, I think, but, I’d be OK without it.
I was just going for a bit of nighttime nuance with your post. Also, phrasing.
Don’t you whoa me mister. ⛄️
How about slower? Then, faster…
“And there won’t be any songs in Nippon this Christmastime

The only thing worse than Christmas music is a Ted Talk. They have a sniper trained on the speaker. “Be plastic, but pretend to also be natural.” When did that cringy style of public speaking become the gold standard? Unwatchable to me.

Copywriters and advertising executives who refer to themselves as “creatives” makes me want to stab them in the eyes.
They’re special, you see.
…and the on-air or on-screen folks in broadcasting are the “talent” whether they have any or not.
They are not saying ‘of’, at least not around here, but you are right it is lazy. They are shortening the word have like cockney uses ‘ave, but they pronounce the a differently. “Here, have some” often sounds like “Here, of some”. It is hard to tell the difference unless your ear is tuned to it by a lifetime of listening to a southern accent.
Good stuff. Dude has a point.

But today, I’m going to be shovelling snow.
Down here in NYC, it’s just chilly and rainy. 🙁
Be thankful. After getting kitted up and opening the door my first reaction was “Oh, that’s not too bad.” A few minutes later it was “Oh, right, there were three steps on this porch, not just two.” Looks like a foot of base accumulation, plus drifts and plow banks. It’s half fluffy and half wet snowball-grade snow, and I’m moving it by hand.
It’s days like today I’m most unhappy witha corner lot. How many linear feet of sidewalk do I have to clear?
Ugh… sorry. The idea of property for which I am responsible to maintain but forbidden to restrict access to makes me grumpy.
I also have to figure out where I’m moving my car to, because the plows have only done a cursory pass, and not cleared any of the unoccupied spots.
At least you have the privilege of paying taxes for that.
Your plow service is no better.
I socialism government handles all the snow removal.
* government is you, in this case. not when in comes to getting the big housing or priority to food.
“I’m most unhappy witha corner lot. ”
I grew up on a corner lot so I know all about that pain in the ass.
I think you can purchase snow removal machinery
I literally have nowhere to store it. The lot is the foundation plus sidewalk and a small margin.
Add another level on top
I donm’t have that much money.

According to the app, the only non- cancelled flights are to the east (Burlington, Hartford, Boston) which makes no sense.
