I just finished listening a very interesting covnersation. Jordan Peterson interviewing Milo Yiannopoulos.
Milo: The Forbidden Converasion
My prediction: a third of us will find it absolutely riveting. I certainly did.
He’s a pretty smart guy and he’s worth listening to when he drops his shtick.
Who Jorp or Milo?
tarran.
Yeah, I listened to that one on Sunday and yesterday. It was definitely a damned interesting interview.
The thing that struck me is the same thing that struck me when the topic of Yiannopoulos came up at TOS. What’s with all the hatred of this guy? I mean, they made a point of making a stink about his comments about adult/teen relationships. But, a lot of that wasn’t all that far off of stuff I regularly read in their articles.
I still think that CPAC thing was a set-up.
Dalmia blamed the Berkeley riot on him.
I can pretty safely say he’s perfectly innocent of all charges if Dalmia thinks he’s guilty.
He was cool, hip, gay, witty and… supporting Trump. Reason’s ethos is that cool, hip, gay, witty people support free minds and free markets.
The thing was that Reason should have stood up for him. The smear against him was based on a doctored video.
I think they went after him because they resented his popularity. I stopped reading Reason because I had come to believe that they lacked principles and were playing the man vs the ball and were an unreliable source of information. How they handled Milo typified those shortcomings.
Reason’s journalism and opinion pieces became subservient to their desired image instead of their purported principles.
Seems rather a Victorian attitude for “progressive” people and a rather reactionary one since it ignores The Soul of Man under Socialism.

Not the one’s at McD’s, although Burger King in the UK tweeted support for throwing their milkshakes at politicians they don’t like.
Burger King also made a video supporting net neutrality. So I’m thinking Burger King sucks ass.
Their corporate offices are notoriously stupid. 99% of the stores are franchised, and most of the owners can’t stand corporate, no matter who the owner is.
I know a guy who used to own most of the Burger Kings in Hawaii, and getting out was the smartest thing he ever did.
I made the horrible mistake of trying the BK spicy nuggets. At least it was a good reminder as to why they are at the bottom of my fast food list.
It takes a really unique combination of luck and ingenuity to make french fries as bad as Burger King’s.
BK was once delicious and was our preferred fast food place growing up. Sometime around the year 2000, things changed and it was a shadow of its former self. Same with Hardee’s.
I keep falling victim to nostalgia and going back once every couple years and always regretting it.
Several months ago, I stopped at a Burger King for the first time in years and ordered 2 cheeseburgers. They were inedible. I’m not picky about food, and these things were so bad I tossed them out the window of the truck for the buzzards to (probably) gag on as well. I mean, how do you fuck up cheeseburgers?
“I’m not picky about food”
No shit?
OK, you’re right. I do prefer no shit in my food.
They’re struggling in Japan (again). And I noticed a couple of locations closing locally, with no new ones opening.
I have always wanted to try the burger chain First Kitchen in Japan. Supposed to be good.
Best part is that in the Kansai area they are frequently abbreviated as “faakingu” aka the same katakana as the English “fucking” which is as it is everywhere in the world also used in Japanese.
So you can find yourself a pretty girl in line at the Osaka First Kitchen and ask “faakingu ga suki?” Let me know how it goes!
Sorry, on second thought, make that “faakin”. I hat trying to turn English into katakana.
There is at Chick-fil-a.
I’d even take Checkers over them. At least they know how to make fries.
Oops. I’d take Checkers over Burker King. Chik-Fil-A is usually pretty good.
Still not a big fan of the waffle fries, although admittedly, I don’t think I’ve ever left many in the carton.
Is Checkers like Rallys? They used to be out here, but left a long time ago.
More importantly, do they bring the fellas to the yard?

As my wife’s yellow-dog Democrat, segregationist relatives would always say “Segregation is natural – them coloreds (when they were being sensitive to there being a Yankee present (me)) just want to be with their own kind!”
They’re fist pumping in their graves now “See. We were right!”

It’s hard to tell which half.
Heh. I wish. A half share of that ((gold)) would be nice.
More like a bunch of potato-eating catholics, Christian Church preachers and Dutch reformists.
Actually my mid-western family was just as racist as my wife’s southerners. They were just more genteel and quiet about it. The southerners were quite up front about it while the mid westerners would let it slip out once in awhile and then they’d quickly move on like nothing had been said.
Should that be “we was right”?
An episode of the kid’s show ‘Arthur’ featuring a same-sex wedding won’t air in Alabama
Alabama Public Television says it won’t air an episode of the children’s show “Arthur” that featured a same-sex marriage. “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone” aired as the premiere for the show’s 22nd season on May 13. But not in Alabama. Programming director Mike McKenzie says Alabama Public Television has no plans to broadcast the episode. The storyline about Mr. Ratburn’s marriage conveys a positive message, he said. But while many parents will find it appropriate, many others will disagree, he said — “either because their children are too young, or because of their beliefs.”
“Our broadcast would take away the choice of parents who feel it is inappropriate,” McKenzie told CNN in a statement.
He sounds totally cool with the overall message.
Oh shit, here comes another wave of memes and rants on FB about Alabama.
When “Love wins” became a thing after the Obergfell decision, I said it was nice to see so many people supporting plural marriage.
A southern man don’t need him around anyhow.
[rebel yell]
“More. More. More”
How do you like it,
How do you like your love?
The episode doesn’t specifically address Ratburn’s sexuality or show a marriage ceremony.
“Who is Mr. Ratburn marrying?” Muffie, one of the character, asks.
The scene then cuts to Mr. Ratburn, their third-grade teacher walking down the aisle with Patrick, a chocolate maker.
Chocolate maker? Sounds like some quality trolling.
Yeah, when the chirruns get ahold of that via older kids all hell is going to break loose.
doesn’t . . . show a marriage ceremony
walking down the aisle
Err. . .
When our middle kid was 2, she got pissed at something. She stomped her foot and said “It’s not fair! It’s not fair at all!” We had no idea where she learned this. Then we talked to my MIL and found out she saw a character on Arthur have a temper tantrum and that’s where she learned it. Thereafter Arthur was banned at my house.
Arthur sucks.
See, I would have showed her the Dudley Moore Arthur, and really blown her mind.
Then the kid woulda been caught between the moon and New York City
“You’re a hooker? I thought I was doing great with you!”
It is inappropriate. Mr. Ratburn is a rat or a weasel, of some kind. His partner is a gerbil or something.
Isn’t Arthur’s sister some sort of monkey with a page-boy haircut?
When my son was little there was a playgroup mom who looked identical to the character who I think is Arthur’s sister. I refrained from pointing that out, though.
I don’t know, but that confuses me more.

“But that’s precisely why we may see increasingly totalitarian measures, as the gap between the will of the people and the interests of the small minority in charge continues to widen. History’s bloody revolutions show us what happens when this gap becomes too large, and the government entirely ceases to effectively represent the governed”
That’s pretty close to a call for revolution.

I switched to Enterprise some time ago. Prices and service are light-years better.
Each one of those is a 6 figure payout, minimum.
It’s stunning that they didn’t fix the problem after the first incident.
Be sure to bring up the PTSD, “until this happened I always thought of the police as my friends, now every time I see police I relive the trauma”.
Didn’t they use to have OJ as their spokesman? This doesn’t sound like a coincidence.
I will never rent from Hertz.
In the early ’90’s I was the events coordinator for our college ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Club. I had planned a tour of engineering places for 40 other wanna-be engineers. I get to the rental counter and the lady asks for my (and the other driver’s) drivers licenses. We were both under the 25 year old cut off limit. They refuse to rent to us.
I mean it was obvious from the initial (weeks previous) conversation that I was a college kid. They didn’t think to bring up that little detail?
We rented from rent-a-wreck for a much better price.

Ok, but did you see the collar it was wearing?
If it’s your dog then “property rights” would be a good starting point.
You could say the same thing about slavery. The law doesn’t make things moral.
There is a libertarian argument against slavery, not so much against the ownership of animals. If you can justify outlawing dog fucking then you can justify no dog/horse racing, rodeos, livestock, hunting, fishing, and so on and so on and scooby dooby doo.
Are you being deliberately obtuse?
Depends. Are you arguing that dog fucking is immoral or indefensible?
Both.
The point you seem to be missing is that making something legal doesn’t make it good, and making something illegal doesn’t make it bad. Even though there are legal things that are right, and illegal things that are wrong.
Not missing it, I’ve grokked that distinction for many years, I am arguing that dog fucking, while immoral, is defensible from a property rights standpoint. You seem to think that defensible and moral are equivalent, sometimes you have the right to do the wrong thing.

I wonder if he was sentenced to time served so he could be released before ICE caught up with him. Meh, I would say that’s within a judge’s discretion.

Today I learned that, in Hawaii, New Mexico, Wyoming, West Virginia, and D.C., bestiality is still 100 percent legal.

From HM’s link, it’s apparently not considered a problem there!
For different reasons for each, I’m not surprised.
That’s allegedly been one of the hang-ups with the whole “city ain’t cooperating with ICE” thing. The local jail claims that it can’t hold someone without a warrant, and thus must let people go before ICE drops by to pick them up. Some local governments have written agreements with ICE to hold people ICE is interested in.
There’s a lot of “passive” resistance that locals can do to help illegals avoid ICE, and in general I don’t have a legal problem with it.
There’s a few places that seem to be going more “active” resistance, though. Its one thing to not cooperate, its another to actively impede. When you are discharging illegals from jail, hustling them out side doors, etc. specifically in order to avoid ICE, that’s getting into aiding and abetting territory.
It’s the same thing as pot: the USG should staff and pay to enforce its own damned laws. There is no reason I should pay a cent of overtime to my local pigs to babysit national hysterics.
Agreed, Don.
I also don’t want to pay anything to my local pigs so they can (a) assist people in breaking laws and (b) break laws themselves.
Non-cooperation? Fine.
Active assistance to illegals and active impeding of federal law enforcement? Not a fan.
Yeah there was something semi-local where a judge kicked the waiting ICE agents out of his courtroom… then had the baliff lead the defendant/deportee out a side door avoid them.
There’s obstruction of justice and abuse of power. The judge was prosecuted, right?

Justin Raimondo told me the pro-western Ukrainians are all neo-Nazis.
He was sworn in as President with his hand on the new testament (actually only the four gospels). So, I’m not sure he’s Jewish by American standards. He’s certainly still a Jew by Russian/Ukrainian ones.
Does Ukraine allow other texts to be used or is there a state religion and a mandate that the gospels be used?
It’s definitely a tradition to use this specific book.
Looking at Wikipedia page for it (and why am I surprised there’s one?), first president didn’t use the gospel, the rest did.
And not just any gospel – this one. So it’s less religious and more nationalist in its bent, since it’s in Old Ukrainian instead of Church Slavonic.

So this popped up on derpbook, linked by one of my old jarhead buddies. The Commandant says there will be no further changes to boot camp as far as sex segregation goes. Which led to this amusing gem:
You’d think someone whose job it is to give quotes to the media about this stuff would get the most basic things right – Marine drill instructors absolutely ARE housed in the recruit barracks. One DI sleeps at the barracks in the DI hut every night. They rotate every few days. Capt. Lory Manning certainly is a credit to her service and sex!
She’s using technicalities. She’s using housing to mean assigned living quarters vs merely sleeping/eating/bathing/etc.

I suspect the Marines care very little indeed about what some Navy puke thinks about how Marines are trained.

US nominal GDP: $78 trillion.
World GDP: $108 trillion.
Green New Deal cost: $93 trillion.
Any questions?
Whoops – scratch the World GDP.
Stick to the US figure.
Man did I mess this up:
World nominal GDP in USD is $78 trillion.
Green New Deal cost: $93 trillion.
I misread the numbers.
Why do you hate the children?
I think the Guardian would say it is worth it.

That’s more than I make in a year!
in very round figures that are low but easy to remember
US GDP is $20T = 333M folk x $60k average income
or, as I actually meant, that are “high”
a tick over $19T just now
So we have less than 12 years to spend $93TT on the Green New Deal. Total GDP over that time will be around $220TT. So take nearly half the economic output of the US and redirect it to the GND. Sure. That’ll work, no prob.
Obama announced once that X% of cars would be all-electric by 202Y.
I laughed and explained to those nearby that he would be stretched to make all cars red by 202Y. Cars last over 12 years and that number is growing, so just understand that if you have instantaneous, 100% compliance, you can only move the needle 8% per year. But nothing is instantaneous or universal.
Telsa can’t even hit its production and sale targets.
It’s like you don’t even grok 5 year plans.
5 year plans typically get updated every year.
The best part is they don’t actually care if it “works” or not.
Looks like SHOWTIME is cutting into CPRM’s territory.
So, haven’t had a lot of posting time lately. Last weekend was an extended drill with lousy connectivity, etc. Catching up on a few flicks at the theaters before I head out of town again this weekend to visit some friends. (Catching the subbed version of Nausicaa for Ghiblifest tonight).
Anyhoo – for some reason, only just heard about this from Kyle Smith’s review at NRO this afternoon. “Cold Blue” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmwm4VPW7RY
Looks like it’s playing Thursday night – one night only before it comes out on HBO next month for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. For the folks who caught “They Shall Not Grow Old” – this looks like a great companion piece. If I get in ahead of schedule, I may try to catch it in Charleston, WV.

I like how expressing any kind of opinion on foreign affairs that doesn’t attack the US or it’s allies is inherently neocon warmongering.

Why do these conservatives have to politicizing something because liberals want to be ban something?

In a ridiculous move, apparently some Instagram meme-makers want to unionize. They want a cut of the money they say Instagram makes off of their work, among other things. But at least they came up with an appropriate name:
Very serious, indeed.
They’re Instagram employees?
If not, then they are likely engaged in illegal “collective bargaining”, an anti-trust violation.
You can find some emanation or penumbra…
They’re Instagram employees?
Not in the slightest. Just users who feel entitled to more than they bargained for when they signed up for the service.
With all due respect, isn’t anti-trust bad law in the first place?
How exactly can you unionize when you are not actually an employee of the entity you are bargaining with?
Oh hush….
They also don’t pay them or hire them either…

Two Comments:
Becoming heavily unionized like Hollywood would create major barriers to entry for content creators which would exacerbate the corporatization of these platforms that people complain about.
Ellis is a SJW prog so here being a corporate employer with shell companies is hilarious to me.
Exactly. We have never had such an astounding variety of content, and unions would fuck that all up.
What really pisses me off – just because it hits close to home – is this notion floated by Hillary Clinton and other Lefties that “gig” employers (e.g. those that operate like Uber) should have to give all of their contractors a benefits package, despite the fact that they have no set working hours nor minimum work volume. Such a change would destroy the business models of these places, and the Left fucking knows it. These gigs are excellent for people who already have a job but don’t have enough time to commit to a second job. I really think the Left just doesn’t want people to get ahead through hard work; they’d rather you get on welfare and vote Democrat.
… But I suppose that private sector union membership is on the decline, and every parasite needs a host. When their host dies or starts to fight them off, they desperately search for a new victim from which to suck their lifeblood.
Ding Ding. Since at least the 1990s the left has adopted the strategy that they are the Party of Government and of anyone who gets a government check. Hence why they loathe budget cuts and love bureaucracy since that means more government employees to vote for them. This also drives their immigration policy. Oh and this also means their embrace of laissez faire will not happen anytime soon.
90’s? It’s been longer than that.
shell corporation to pay her out-of-state employees
Gee, I wonder why that is.
FTA: :“People that are trying to earn a living on these platforms …”
OKAAAY. I know I’m almost as old as 4score, but why would you try to earn a living at something that doesn’t pay anything?
Ad revenue. My wife’s friend makes $4k a month in ad revenue and paid product placements on her IG account.
She also madr $84293 last year and bought a 2011 Toyota Corolla. Click here to learn how!!!
It can pay extremely well.
But like most other things entertainment related, positive results are rare yet highly touted.
OK. You see an opportunity, figure out the system, work hard, do something that people want and you can make money.
Maybe.
If, not. Tough.
Actually, it’s pretty cool that people can make money doing what they’d probably do for free while using a tool built by people that really had no idea how the tool would be ultimately be used.
Yup. I’ve tried a few times, but my attempts fizzle out after a few weeks because I don’t want to put in the effort to comment on 50k posts in order to get a following. There’s a level of pretending to care that some random person’s kitchen remodel was designed to be a replica of her childhood home that I just can’t muster.
why would you try to earn a living at something that doesn’t pay anything?
Depends on what you are trying to influence via Instagram. This guy for example, pretty much live on Yachts he doesn’t own.
A friend of Mrs. Dean has been pulling down around $5K a month with a YouTube channel (I think) where she posts videos of Barbie dolls acting out fairy tales (recollection is a little fuzzy here, but that’s the gist). Apparently she has quite a following of other young mothers?
Is it called the Fizzy Toy Show?
There’s a STEVE SMITH joke in there somewhere.

What a bullshit frame job they pulled on the guy.
There’s a part 2 as well:

Papadopoulos is an alum of my alma mater. Also, I worked with his uncle (the nicest and one of the best professors at DePaul) in the Geography department.

Got a picture of Putin on my fireplace mantle at home.
Please tell me he’s shirtless in it.
Sexy Putin is Best Putin.
Are you Putin me on?
I think you’re Russian to conclusions here.
Trump needs to shoot the guy a pardon on the way out the door whenever that is, that’s for sure.
That’s what bothers me about the whole Russian interference investigation. They ruined a lot people’s lives simply because the woman they wanted in the White House didn’t win. The Left could have had a “Come to Jesus” moment and try to win back the people they lost but instead they threw an expensive and destructive temper tantrum.
“threw”
You speak as if they’re done.
Trump already threw him under the bus.
Please, please let there be transcripts of those assets trying to get Papadop to do something illegal or unsavory. I bet they’d make the FISA app look boring.

Christ, what an asshole.
I don’t speak asshole. What does that even mean?
We live in an era where a woman can hold up a Supreme Court appointment (with an entire political party and most of the media cheering her on) while she spouts off a contradiction-riddled accusation of rape with no time or place specified, and not only escape any consequences but walk away with close to a million dollars in GoFundMe donations and a good possibility of a sweet book deal.
I’m sorry, but I’m completely closed off to the idea that women have a reduced set of rights in this country.
Anybody else read that as “Gunts”?

It’s called When Women Rule the World and the poster image — circulating at the Cannes Market and in trade publications including The Hollywood Reporter — features a bikini-clad woman (a Melania Trump-type character called Maria Putin, played by actress Anna Hera) holding two decapitated heads. One is bloodied up to look like Trump in a Make America Great Again hat and a shaggy blond wig. The other, a gray-skinned, bug-eyed zombie. “Meet the First Lady of the Future with her Heads of State,” reads the tagline for the film from writer-director-producer Sheldon Silverstein.”

“Today’s ruling vindicates a simple principle,” explained IJ Senior Attorney Robert McNamara. “In this country, we rely on people to decide who they want to listen to. We do not rely on government to decide who will get to speak.”
I love Savannah and even the tours, but that was a really stupid law. I can’t believe the right thing happened here.
As long as they don’t braid hair, I see no problem.

Did that actually happen, or is “AntiFash” making shit up?
I note his example of left-wing doxxing is rather tame, as well. Why not the one where the politician demanded that two teenage pro-life girls get doxxed?
In another tweet, he’s complaining about “straw man” accusations, so I think you have your answer.
Chicago commentary follows. Written while still holding obvious libertarian criticisms regarding corruption, debt, pubsec unions, etc.
I like Chicago.
I end up coming here for work every few months. Usually stay in River North or the Loop area, but this time staying in Wicker Park. The place I’m visiting is on Goose Island, so about a 1.5 mile walk. If I’m staying in the usual spots I’ll ride the train to Division or North/Clybourn. All my relatives think this country boy is nuts and in more-than-the-usual danger of getting killed.
I’m a fan of the late-19th century city architecture, and I don’t think anywhere beats Chicago for that – residential or commercial/industrial. I’m still also impressed by the commercial/industrial power that used to be created here.
And a lot of Chicagoans (Chicagoites?) still have “normal” midwesterner inside them, so when a Southern drawl comes out of my mouth, they kinda like it.
It’s too bad the people running the joint are doing their best to destroy it.
I do love the architecture and history in big cities like NYC and Chicago, but I still don’t think I’d go. I’m very uncomfortable in extremely crowded places, and I’m also bothered by germs, and I imagine more crowded cities as being dirtier, especially public transport (Is this completely rational? Probably not, but neither are most people when deciding where to take vacations). The deep blue politics and inability to carry my gun is not really a deciding factor, but it’s salt in the wound.
People always tell me that I would love the food in those cities and I’m missing out. I don’t doubt there’s good food there, but if you can become a 25% competent cook, you can make food better than most restaurants anyway.
I think the compromise for me is going to take trips to less-gigantic cities like Louisville, KY that still have some amenities of big cities but fewer of the downsides.
13 teen boys caught peeping into girls’ hot spring bath during class trip
Though the school says the boys will undergo sensitivity lessons, no criminal charges have been filed, but considering the scandal, as well as the fact that not just students, but other female guests of the hotel were in the bath when the boys peeped over the wall, odds are the school won’t be welcome back at the hotel the next time it wants to organize a trip to Nikko
But nobody minds those stupid monkeys that park their asses in the springs-its “cute”. Like teens are any different.
The monkeys have their own hot springs. Speciesism at its worst.
When did Japan turn into an American HR department?!

Had the janitors already scraped the paint off the windows (on the door) to the girls shower room or did these kids do that? Oh yeah, that was 60 years ago and it was the janitors.
“when the boys peeped over the wall”
No expectation of privacy. Not guilty.
“US woman’s false rape claim results in neighbour’s death
A US woman’s lie about being raped set off a chain of events that resulted in her neighbour’s death.
Brittany Sorey contacted police last month and reported that she had been sexually assaulted by a man who forced his way into her apartment in Largo, Florida.
She alleged a man of Hispanic appearance forced his way in and used a broken broom handle and a box cutter to “vaginally penetrate her” according to a police report.
The 30-year-old maintained her story when re-interviewed by detectives later.
At the time of Sorey’s claim, she and her husband Gerald, were behind in their rent and had been handed an eviction notice.
After making the sexual assault report, the mother-of-five and her family moved out of the Largo apartment and allowed a male friend to take up the lease.
On May 10, the friend was at the apartment when a neighbour who Sorey allegedly owes money to started banging on the front door, unaware Sorey and her husband had moved out.
Sorey’s friend then called her to tell her what was happening and she told him the person knocking on the door sounded like the man who sexually assaulted her, according to a police report.
The friend then exited the apartment to try and take a photo of the man banging on the front door when the neighbour reportedly attacked him.
During the confrontation, the friend killed the neighbour, claiming self-defence.
After a police investigation into the neighbour’s death began, Sorey admitted to detectives that she was not raped and she made the story up.
She was arrested and charged with making a false report to police.”

Oh FFS. I’m sure this asshole is just a joy to deal with in the firehouse. When Alaskan Inuit crews come to the lower 48 to fight fires, they bring their own food because there isn’t enough fat for them in the camp diet and they get sick.
