GATHER ‘ROUND MY CHOSEN ONES AND HEAR… THE ADVICE OF ZARDOZ, HOLD IT SO DEAR.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. THOUGH A SHORT WEEK, YOU HAVE DONE WELL. YOU HAVE MOCKED THE BRUTALS WHO POLLUTE THE INTERNETZ, AND YOU HAVE PROCLAIMED THE GOODNESS OF THE GUN. YOU ALL HAVE BEEN SLACKING A BIT ON “THE PENIS IS EVIL” PART, SO DON’T LET THE PRAISE OF ZARDOZ GO TO YOUR HEADS.
THEREFOR, ZARDOZ WILL PROVIDE ADVICE, SO THAT YOU MAY STAY IN THE ZARDOZ GROOVE. GO FORTH AND COMMENT!
FIRST UP, A TOTALLY REAL SITUATION FROM THE BUNGLING BRUTALS AT SLATE.
Q: It’s just text: I’m a married man, and I have been sexting with my wife’s aunt for about a year now. We have never sent pictures or done any type of video chat—it’s all been hot and heavy texts. She wants to start video chatting, but I am totally against it. I feel like texting is not cheating because it’s just text and not sex. But as soon as pictures and videos and live sessions start, then I am cheating on my wife.
A: SO IN THIS TOTALLY NOT CONTRIVED CONUNDRUM, YOU WONDER IF THIS IS OK? BRUTAL, PLEASE. YOU ARE DOING THIS FOR ONE TERRIBLE REASON:
BEFORE SEXTING. AFTER SEXTING.
YOU ARE A SERVANT OF EVIL. SO, IN CASE YOU ARE ACTUALLY A REAL FOOL, SEEKING ADVICE… KNOCK IT OFF. IF UNABLE TO CONTROL YOUR EVIL, ZARDOZ WILL SEND SOME “COUNSELORS” TO HELP.
BADLY NEEDED MORAL SUPPORT IN SECTOR 7!
A SLIGHTLY MORE BELIEVABLE OFFERING…
Q: My fiance and I are planning to get married in August, and we have reserved everything: church, reception venue, music, cake, etc. Our wedding is going be an affair of 200 people.
With what is currently happening in the United States, we are waiting before sending out invitations — deciding if we can still have our big wedding, or will have to switch to a very scaled-down backyard wedding of 50 people.
If we do have a scaled-down wedding, how do we go about explaining to all the guests that we won’t be able to invite all of them? Also, should we expect the wedding vendors to refund our deposits?
A: OH, LOOK AT ME! I AM TO HAVE SUCH A LAVISH AFFAIR. OH, WOE, IF I HAVE TO CUT DOWN FROM “OSTENTATIOUS” TO “OVERDONE”. YOU WILL RECEIVE NO SYMPATHY FROM THE DENIZENS OF THE VORTEX. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO LINE UP MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DOZEN PREMATURELY AGED ETERNALS TO GET THROUGH A QUICK CEREMONY?
MAH-WIDGE…IS WHAT BRINGS US TOGETHER TODAY.
JUST DO THE BACKYARD THING.
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
I have been sexting with my wife’s aunt for about a year now
This is a recipe for disaster.
JUST DO THE BACKYARD THING.
Euphemisms?
Heh.
I do feel bad for the wedding folks. July will be me and the Mrs. 10th anniversary and we were going to do a vow renewal. We held off sending any invitations or booking anything and now I feel like it’s too late to do anything big.
My brother’s wedding, with a couple hundred people, was going to be August 1st. It had been set for over a year. He’s going to get married in August anyways and then have a reception next Spring.
Next year, Celebrate your one year anniversary of surviving COVID.
I suggested celebrating one day before our 11th anniversary because we still will have been married 10 years.
The google machine says the word wedding comes from a Gaelic word that means a pledge or a promise – interesting.

today I learned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number
***
An illegal number is a number that represents information which is illegal to possess, utter, propagate, or otherwise transmit in some legal jurisdiction. Any piece of digital information is representable as a number; consequently, if communicating a specific set of information is illegal in some way, then the number may be illegal as well.
***
[deep inhale, bong gurgles] Numbers shouldn’t be, like, illegal, man.
Like possessing an illegal plant that grows naturally?
I once asked my grandpa that if tobacco is a plant and marijuana is plant, why is legal to smoke one and not the other. He said because marijuana hurts your brain. Then he chugged the rest of his beer and passed out in a lawn chair.
I saw an article once where the DEA celebrated a big drug bust with a cocktail party. “Congratulations gentlemen- we’ve kept tons of this poison off America’s streets. Now let’s all get shit-faced.”
Ah the hippy take on drug prohibition. Nevermind that the first drug we tried prohibittion against was C2H5OH. Sorry but this whole schtick annoys me; the issue is not that we prohibit one and not the other; in other words the hypocrisy is irrelevant. The issue is the entire idea of prohibitting a substance. It does not become more or less wrong because the person supporting the prohibition drinks, because when you make it about that you present two options. 1. don’t prohibit certain intoxicants 2. prohibit all intoxicants, and by doing so you in fact are arguing for #2 because you have not attacked the idea of prohibition; you have attacked the idea of selctivity.
Pointing out hypocrisy can be useful. Also, it’s hard to make a joke out of the valid argument you just made.
See below. You had the misfortune to encounter starving, drunk, and angry me. I apologize for the tone.
Oh, no need for that. I know the feeling. Best of luck on the weight loss. It’s a long, hard road, but it’s worth it.
Walking uphill for an hour a day on a treadmill will speed up the process greatly. If you have something to read, watch, or listen to, the time passes quickly.
I’m 144 lbs. above BMI, there is no way around a year+. It took me a bit over 2 years to put the weight back on. (it comes back faster if you have lost a lot)
I’m about 20 lbs over the Army standard. Hard to stay in shape without gyms, at least for me. I was on target in October, then the holidays came, then I dragged my feet. By the time I got back to 171 from 180, the gyms closed.
Oh well. When things reopen, they’ll probably yell at me and put me on double secret probation again and then I’ll have to hustle hard for a month. Not my first rodeo.
Fun fact: it’s possible to lose weight by drinking beer if you use it as a meal replacement.

“1. don’t prohibit certain intoxicants
2. prohibit all intoxicants”
or 3. don’t prohibit any intoxicants.
It’s your body. What right does the government have to say what does or does not go into it?
You are misunderstanding what I meant in #1, hint ‘certain’ is the emphasized word
The government only allows you to put penises into butts and abortion tools into pussies. Anything else you have to ask for permission or it’s probably forbidden.
“put penises into butts”
Shit! I have been doing it all wrong.
Wait, do you mean somebody else’s penis in my butt? I’d have to be pretty drunk first.

“hen he chugged the rest of his beer and passed out in a lawn chair.”
I really hate that shit. I had a neighbor once tell me that marijuana users are dangerous drug users. I asked him about alcohol. He said it’s different because he just ‘tastes’ a little wine with his dinner. He says this as he’s on his 3rd bottle of ‘tasting’ and is already slurring his speech.
They didn’t stop there. They made hormones that naturally occur in you own body, illegal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_the_United_States
***
Export of cryptographic technology and devices from the United States was severely restricted by U.S. law until 1992. The law gradually became eased until around 2000, but some restrictions still remain today.
…
The First Amendment made controlling all use of cryptography inside the U.S. illegal, but controlling access to U.S. developments by others was more practical — there were no constitutional impediments.
Accordingly, regulations were introduced as part of munitions controls which required licenses to export cryptographic methods (and even their description); the regulations established that cryptography beyond a certain strength (defined by algorithm and length of key) would not be licensed for export except on a case-by-case basis.
***
The amusing result of this is that if you print an encryption algorithm on a t-shirt, that shirt legally becomes a munition and is subject to export controls.
***
Export-restricted RSA encryption source code printed on a T-shirt made the T-shirt an export-restricted munition, as a freedom of speech protest against U.S. encryption export restrictions (Back side).[1] Changes in the export law means that it is no longer illegal to export this T-shirt from the U.S., or for U.S. citizens to show it to foreigners.
***
I totally want a tee-shirt munition.
I know a guy who bought a t-shirt overseas only to learn later he had inadvertently funded a terrorist organization. Oopsy!
That absolutely should have been done with a thong.
The company I work for is known for making airpl@nes which have an onboard wh0le-a1rcraft par@chute. The p@rachute is launched by a r0cket. The r0cket is fueled by a variant of gunpowder. The recipe for our rocket fuel can be found many places online (see most home rocketry websites). Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese in 850 A.D. In 2011, my company was purchased by a Chinese company (***** which is owned by another company **** which is owned by the Chinese government – well almost everything is owned by the Chinese government). ITAR restrictions said we couldn’t share any information about our rocket fuel with our new owners, the Chinese, who invented the shit nearly 3000 years ago because it was considered a munition.
Back in my consulting days, I had to point out that the server they just built with 128-bit encryption couldn’t be shipped to their Europe offices.
I laughed pretty loudly at this one.
All Hail Zardoz!

Atlanta has a big police turn out for protestors…
My gf was out today talking to neighbors…she’s been identifying progressives.
Well…to be fair, they self identify pretty quick, apparently. ?
“Well…to be fair, they self identify pretty quick, apparently.”
Yeah, like the first time they ever speak to you they’ll just start blurting out ‘liberal’ they are and how there’s a Nazi in the Whitehouse. So it’s not too hard to figure out.
The neighbors mother moved up from Atlanta to be closer to her grandkids. Five minutes into our chat, she’s talking about how happy she is she got out of Georgia before the idiot Republican governor reopened the state and spread the COVID everywhere. Such experts, Much science.
You might want to remind her, that didn’t happen despite the ‘experts’ dire warnings. For being experts, it’s amazing how often those people are wrong.
I’ve come to realize especially in the last few years that leftism is just religion for people who don’t believe in God. I got into it with one prog on FL and GA, and they cited that total deaths were still rising. See, if Brian Kemp and Ron DeSantis can’t restore the dead to life, then they are clearly incompetent.
Hearing scheduled for lawsuit over Nashua, NH mask ordinance
This afternoon, the Hillsborough County Superior Court scheduled a hearing for June 18, 2020, at 9 a.m., on our client’s lawsuit challenging Governor Sununu’s “state of emergency” declaration and the City of Nashua’s recent enactment of an ordinance requiring individuals to wear face masks. Like the school closure lawsuit, this action contains another troubling revelation about government transparency and whether local governments are following the rule of law during this “pandemic.”
My workplace just sent out the order to wear a mask at work. That one I do have to comply with. The job is well worth it.
Still weird because I have a new employee starting Monday and it seems unnatural not to have normal facial cues and expressions.
When my office reopens, capacity will be limited, we’ll have to maintain Leper Length, and wear masks while not at our desks.
I’ll continue working from home.

Butbutbut they’ve been saying Orange Man Bad! How could this have happened?
Also – “demonstrators” broke windows? ! Oh no, once they start breaking windows they are rioters. MLK didn’t tell people to break windows, loot stores, and set fires.
once they start breaking windows they are rioters. MLK didn’t tell people to break windows, loot stores, and set fires.
This. Regardless of the ongoing debate about MLK’s political/economic leanings, he certainly did not advocate violence and the destruction of private property.
Apologies to all I have offended. On top of the fury I am feeling about the deliberate devastation of our economy and western civ in response to the novel coronavirus I am back on a diet trying to get myself back to a normal weight and all calculations indicate I am in for a year or two of this. In other words cranky does not begin to cover my mood. I have been steering clear of this place to avoid giving offense, but tonight I used 500 calories of my 1200 budget to drink some whiskey and underestimated the effects after a week of 1200 calories a day.
You offended people here? Damn you must have really been on a frothing rampage.

I don’t think you offended anyone.

On the riots:
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Either we fucking reform policing right now or this cycle will continue. The only thing I have a problem with is the destruction of private property. Everything else I’m good with.
When they rebuild the third precinct in Minneapolis, I hope someone goes and burns it down again.
Assumes reforms you agree with.
I support war except for the killing, disease and blowing things up.
I suppose that they should’ve just peacefully protested against the King and not thrown tea into Boston harbor?
When violence is the only language the system understands…
Fuck, the politicians could care less if these people burn down their own neighborhoods or attack some innocent people in their own neighborhoods. All they care is that the same people doing the looting and rioting, vote for them. The same reason shameless lying assholes like Joe Biden immediately use the situation to blame his opponent for racism as the cause. Did we see Obama and Biden do jackshit about cops killing people like this, in their entire 8 years in office? No, they didn’t do jackshit, and if they were in office again, they wouldn’t do jackshit except call other people racists.
Fuck them too.
Burn the fucking system to the ground.
Does that include your place?
So you are confident that the rioters, who are likely not deep thinkers, will burn the things you dislike down and leave your wife and kids alone? Mobs attack whomever they run into. Usually the victims are people who simply had the misfortune to be driving down the wrong street, or living in the wrong neighborhood. Riots take all the evils of war and add more randomness. Nothing justifies a riot. Some things may justify insurrection.
yep.
Joe Biden has been in power for 50 years or so and supported the Drug War. And the one thing I know about the Democrats is the reforms they advocate are for our own good.
If there is any bad thing that Joe Biden has not supported, it’s because it didn’t exist and hasn’t yet been thought up.
You are aware those Tea Party folks are the reason for the police system you hate, right?
People who commit violence are going to want to leave me alone…
This situation will never change until the cops are held accountable.
As it is, they know that they can just right out murder someone in broad daylight and their chances of any punishment is almost nil.
And like I said yesterday. You have the GOP saying we have to have law and order and so we have to protect our ‘heroes’. While the left call everyone racists, but will not do jackshit about it either. In fact, making it all about race is their deflection to make sure that nothing is done about it.
Why would politicians want cops who are not accountable to them>
This is true. I wonder how many people would be fine with black cops killing unarmed white people? And quite a few tyrants have been quite rightly critical of the cops under their predecessors.
“I wonder how many people would be fine with black cops killing unarmed white people?”
You mean like when the black cop murdered a white woman in cold blood a while back in off all places, MN? I don’t remember any riots.
Or when a white cop and a Latino cop beat Kelly Thomas to death, or when a white cop shot that poor guy at a hotel in Arizona who was sobbing and just trying to pull his pants up (name escapes me at the moment).
The mostly likely outcome of all of this is that the Minneapolis PD are going to get shiny new tanks and commando type gear and training and be more prone to playing soldier. Then other PDs will say ‘but why can’t we have that too?’. So mayors and governors will make sure everyone gets their shiny new ponies. And the cops will become twice as bad as they already were. And nothing else will happen.
The Sons of Liberty deliberately targetted a royally granted monopoly and waited until the ship was largely unmanned, It was still criminal, and unquestionably improper, but it was minimized as to the harm caused. If you want to rebel go for it. Declare war on the government and attack government instalations. When you attack civilians in order to loot or just express your rage you earn a bullet. This exemplifies my emotional preference for minarchy over anarchy. It is not the intellectual reason for my choice but it is why AnCaps get under my skin. Liberty is primary, but it is not the sole value. Order is often code for tyranny, but it still is necessary.
“When you attack civilians”
Including civilians in your own community who you proclaim are ‘your people’ who you are so outraged about being victims.
So the cops kill one of your ‘people’ and so you go burn down the businesses of a few of ‘your’ people. Makes sense.
Some people want justice. Some people just want an excuse to riot and loot. The media claiming those are one and the same, are once again partly responsible. The media are truly the biggest threat to this country.
I’m an Ancap and I agree with what you are saying. Not all, but most of us follow the NAP to what we believe is it’s logical end.
We actually hit on the Boston Tea Party in the morning thread. The patriots destroyed only the tea belonging to the East India Company, which was exempt from the taxes every other tea importer had to pay. Which is why they dumped their tea in the harbor.
It’s a completely different situation. It’s like if after the Boston Massacre, angry patriots had burned the Customs House but also burned and looted stores and homes around it. These people burned and looted multiple retail stores, both corporate and small business. They burned down a block of under construction low income apartments.
The patriots destroyed only the tea belonging to the East India Company
One of many British, government monopolies with access to all the perks (such as the British military) thereof. This was a symbolic and philosophical gesture against the English crown.
These people burned and looted multiple retail stores, both corporate and small business. They burned down a block of under construction low income apartments.
They are destroying there own community, which is curious, to say the least.
When violence is the only language the system understands… – Protesters
When violence is the only language the perps understand… – Cops
This is means justifying the ends and it is exactly why we end up in this position in the first place.
This is true. One of the big problems is the cops think of the civilians are the enemy. So better shoot first and ask questions later. And so what if it was a bad shoot? What would you do? As long as you can go home…
Violence is sometimes necessary, but only targeted violence can be justified. A riot is one of the furthest things from targeted violence, it is akin to total war in civilian form. And it is also the least effective means of improving things. Consider another quote from MLK:
Yep. This is why we warn people about “Be careful fighting monsters…”
Yeah, but wasn’t that a government monopoly, and surely the east India company had lobbied for its privileges?
Whereas Target probably isn’t big on racial discrimination and killing innocents, I dunno though, maybe they are.
It was explained to me by a proggie co-worker of mine that Target was a legitimate target (no pun intended) because they donated large amounts of money to the Milwaukee PD. I don’t agree, but that’s the running excuse.
Who “donates” money to a police department other than by way of taxes and/or fines?
Yeah, that is weird, maybe Target does deserve it.
But what about everybody else?
No one actually believes that the people looting Target had principled motivations. The guy stealing a TV didn’t give a shit or even know that Target donated to the PD (if that’s even true to begin with). And as stated – what about the other businesses?
Slate’s on it although I did not read the article. I scanned one of their corporate pages re their efforts with police departments. I disagree whether they’re conceivably legitimate as a target, though. Even if they were donating to the police, I’d call it the equivalent of protection money to the mob. You don’t punish businesses that pay it, you punish the mob for charging it.
Even if this were true, which I doubt, how does that make Target deserving of punishment? A cop killed the guy. That does not make all police actions and all support of police criminal, that makes the cop or cops who killed the guy criminals. I think anyone sane supports the police when they arrest murderers, rapists, and thieves, that does not transalte into supporting police when they shake down some hooker for a freebie or kill some conman because they want their authority respected.
If not clear, I, too, am skeptical about LG’s proggie co-worker’s claim. It sounds too much like a desperate attempt to rationalize the violence AND tie in to the favored prog tactic of punishing businesses for wrongthink: “Hobby Lobby or Chik-Fil-A or [insert insufficiently woke corporation] is evil and must be destroyed because they donated to a cause I don’t like.”
Agreed. Desperate rationalizations to explain why this time, it’s okay that they burned the city down. I haven’t heard any excuses for why NAPA auto parts was hit.
Inorite?? They even sponsor NASCAR’s most popular driver, Chase Elliott, and he’s such a cutie pie!
I blame Kyle Busch.
Holy crap, Chase Elliot looks like one of the youngest developers at my company, and it would drive him fucking nuts if I compared him to Chase. Thank you for the new material!!
Let’s start with ending qualified immunity. I think just doing that much would go a long way to improving police departments.
And PubSec Unions too…
Yes and yes.
^These two proposals have my unqualified yes. Riots have me sounding like a hardcore law and order Republican.
Both of you are right. And so it’s not going to happen. Our big tent political parties want neither of those things.
Watching the Supreme Court closely this session to see if they actually decide to hear any of the QI cases they keep rescheduling. I’m down with killing off PubSec unions, too. I was offering up the smallest, simplest change I could think of that would actually have a huge impact. This nonsense that the police are immune to suit simply because no other asshole wearing a state badge had ever shot a ten year old while trying to shoot a non-threatening dog multiple times, AND the courts had declared it obviously unconstitutional, has to end.
The fact that the George Costanza “Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?” defense is something cops can actually use to defend their abuse of citizens is like some sick joke. But it’s very real.
100%. And as often as the courts dodge on deciding whether or not [insert appalling police violence] is unconstitutional, it’s literally the ‘Fuck You, That’s Why’ clause in the constitution.
I believe not even that is enough. You really want to end this behavior? Shift the financial burden of police misconduct from the city/county/state and onto their pensions. If you spend your entire career looking the other way when your fellow officer routinely breaks the law and peoples bodies you’re a criminal yourself and you don’t deserve a retirement fund. Fuck you.
The best thing to do would be to repeal laws, but in my experience, which is backed up by the historical record, this is unlikely. Prohibition lasted 15 years and it would have lasted longer if not for the Depression.
Pretty much every time I have casually suggested repealing a law or 2, the response is always some form of “well, why not just legalize murder then, smart guy?”
The plot thickens: George Floyd and Derek Chauvin Were Once Co-Workers, Ex-Club Owner Tells TV Station
https://www.npr.org/2020/05/29/865803157/george-floyd-and-derek-chauvin-were-co-workers-says-former-club-owner
***
Chauvin mostly worked outside as an off-duty officer, while Floyd primarily was inside as a bouncer. She wasn’t sure if they knew each other.
***
It would be nice to know why the police came into contact with Floyd in the first place. Otherwise, it’s possible this was a case of 2 macho guys squaring off, and the guy with weapons won.
The best take I’ve heard so far was from a cop who said “once the cuffs are on, the fight is over, put the guy in the back of police car”. Regardless of what Floyd did, the cop was out of line.
I told the wife last night “why do they have to loot, just once I’d like to see them really turn this towards the asshole cops that started this.” Get back from dinner and I get a text from a friend up there that the 3rd pct is on fire. Perfect.

Random factoids for Derp: Liechtenstein, the tiny principality of 38,000 people or so, is the world’s leading manufacturer of dentures, accounting for twenty percent of global sales. They are also one of the only two double landlocked nations.

Ha! Perfect.
What does “double landlocked” mean?
a landlocked country that is bordered by other landlocked countries
IOW, “landlocked”.
Not quite – Afghanistan is landlocked, but it borders China and Pakistan which are not. Uzbekistan is the other landlocked country- all its neighbors are landlocked.
You are using a different definition than I am. I say no saltwater port is landlocked. But I play too much TW.

I think you will like this: the story of the kludge/kluge
***
Kluge “was common Navy slang in the World War II era for any piece of electronics that worked well on shore but consistently failed at sea”. A summary of a 1947 article in the New York Folklore Quarterly states:
On being drafted into the navy, Murgatroyd gave his profession as “kluge maker”. . . . Whenever Murgatroyd was asked what he was doing, he said he was making a kluge, and actually he was one of the world’s best kluge makers. Not wanting to seem ignorant, his superiors kept giving him commendations and promotions. . . . One day . . . the admiral asked him what a kluge was – the first person ever to do so. Murgatroyd said it was hard to explain, but he would make one so the admiral could see what it was. After a couple of days, he returned with a complex object. “Interesting,” said the admiral, “but what does it do?” In reply, Murgatroyd dropped it over the side of the ship. As the thing sank, it went “kluge”.[11][12]

random thought – The Army named bases after Confederate generals for the same reason it named helicopters after fierce Indian tribes. Both were tough opponents who earned the Army’s respect.
2 quotes from the guy the Dukes of Hazard car is named after:
***
The interests of the State are therefore the same as those of the United States. Its prosperity will rise or fall with the welfare of the country. The duty of its citizens, then, appears to me too plain to admit of doubt. All should unite in honest efforts to obliterate the effects of war, and to restore the blessings of peace. They should remain, if possible, in the country; promote harmony and good feeling; qualify themselves to vote; and elect to the State and general Legislatures wise and patriotic men, who will devote their abilities to the interests of the country, and the healing of all dissensions. I have invariably recommended this course since the cessation of hostilities, and have endeavored to practice it myself.
Letter to former Virginia governor John Letcher (28 August 1865), as quoted in Personal Reminiscences, Anecdotes, and Letters of Gen. Robert E. Lee (1875) by John William Jones, p. 203
True patriotism sometimes requires of men to act exactly contrary, at one period, to that which it does at another, and the motive which impels them — the desire to do right — is precisely the same.
Letter to General P.G.T. Beauregard (3 October 1865)

Now both are racist name origins.
And with this logic, or lack thereof, we have to re-name pretty much everything in the United States. I know! Everything shall be called the Barack Obama *something*. That will fix everything!

Local media is salavating over this one. Everyone is going to die!!
I mentioned this before, but it bears repeating. When AIDS hit, health experts said to close the bath houses and there was a great hue and cry and it never happened. But for some reason, the entire population is supposed to quietly tolerate this insane open-ended lockdown.
Tar, feathers, apply liberally.

Probably a Langmore. Fuckers ruin everything.
And since we’re on the topic, I fucking hated Wendy’s brother. They took “off your meds bi-polar guy” and pushed it to cartoon levels. By the last two or three episodes I was fast forwarding through his scenes.
A propos of protests vs. riots, I don’t know if this has been linked yet because I’ve been without a computer. A friend of mine (former Marine) posted a link to this video: I’ll leave it without comment and check back later when I get a chance, but it’s awfully strange behavior for a “protester”.

Not surprising Antifa is there instigating shit.
I going tinfoil hat here and saying this was a police plot to distract from any criminal justice reform by making it about lawlessness on the part of the citizens, thus need for thicker boots.
Why not? Is any conspiracy off the table at this point? We just watched a soft coup attempt and are now dealing with a worldwide state manufactured epidemic and impending depression. Do any of us here genuinely think those in power in Minneapolis or any major city wouldn’t stoop to instigating a riot to wag the dog?
I see you and I folded tinfoil hats into similar styles.
Heh. One day I’ll learn refreshn’ better.
I’m just glad I’m not the only one with a shiny protective hat. All this shit is insane and I can’t believe it’s all spontaneous.
I would put money on Chinese intelligence officers helping to instigate shit.
After all, we’ve done the same in HK. Turnabout is fair play, no?
See? This is the kind of outside the Fox thinking we need around here!
I saw that a few hours ago. Sure as hell looks like a cop. Can’t prove that, of course but he looks a little too calm, calculated, clean and careful for my suspicions not to be raised.
“Look, squirrel!”
Eh not buying it’s a cop. Even if it was, the notion that this one guy breaking some windows sparked looting all throughout the area is retarded.
I can only speak anecdotally but when I’ve been in a group brawl all it took was one person to start shit and next thing you know a lot of people say fuck it, the herd mind takes over and soon people are fighting each other who had nothing to do with the conflict in the first place.
Now have an entire community already furious and looking for an excuse and all it takes is a spark. As far as I understand riots don’t usually begin simultaneously in seperate areas. One place, one spark to set it off isn’t unreasonable in my view.
Anyone else feeling like the death of Floyd (while tragic, and perfect to inflame anti-police tension), also did an awfully good job of completely killing a couple of large news cycles? Corona-what? Flynn-what? Who cares about that when the country is burning down?
Yep. You touch on my rant above.
I read an article where some of the inauguration protesters whined that because of their felony rioting convictions, they couldn’t vote. Cry me a river, assholes. Maybe you should have thought of that before you set a limo on fire.
Hurr, durr, Team Red is dumb and racist, and to prove it, we’re gonna trash an AutoZone, a CVS, and loot Target and FootLocker.
By the way, why did Floyd get arrested? Because that info, maybe, just maybe, might be useful right about now.
From what I’d read he was suspected of using a counterfeit $20. Hardly worthy of the extreme response. We need more details, though.
Didn’t the reason Floyd was arrested get released immediately? The cops were called about someone matching his description trying to pass a forged bill (from what I heard, a fake $20). He supposedly resisted when they went to detain him.
….does it matter though?
No.
Trying to use fake money? Ok, that’s a crime. Like I heard earlier from a cop on a radio show, once the cuffs are on, the fight is over. Put him in the cop car, drive him to the station, and book him.
Good lord, Robocop was nicer to crooks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMT8UN9bSiA
What most likely happened here is he pissed the cops off.
I pissed off a cop once by accident. I was 15 and on a driving lesson. I was on my way to a Boy Scout hike. The town I drove though happened to have a parade that day and a cop was directing traffic. The cops points right, I signal right, but I went left out of force of habit because I always turned left there. Well, the cop went ballistic, my dad stepped in, calmed things down, and said he would drive. I switched seats. That cop was mighty angry and gave me an earful. It didn’t make me hate cops, but it made me realize that it is best to avoid them.
I dunno, he was pretty tough on rapists: NSFW
https://vimeo.com/86014703
H/T: HM
I remember that one. I laughed as I cringed.
When I was in Tanzania, I saw a poll that favored castration as the punishment for rapists. Tanzanians get extremely angry about crime. Thieves caught red-handed in public are usually beaten or stoned to death. The fundy Muslims there say they are nicer because they would only chop off the thief’s right hand.
A fellow Peace Corps gal had 2 of her students get beaten to death by an angry mob because they were accused of trying to pay with fake money. Mwizi means thief in Swahili and if you say it, an angry mob will instantly form.
The gal who had taught at the school I taught at had been moved from another site because some villagers there killed someone suspected of raping a foreign aid worker. The accused was beaten, soaked in gasoline, and set on fire.
I did some work at an orphanage near my house- I taught English and made a web page for the place. The orphanage got a lot of donations from Norway. A Norwegian lady came to visit, and against advice, decided to wander around by herself in the village. She was attacked. The villagers found the thief and beat him unconscious. I tried to calm the mob while the orphanage director called the police. We thought it was bad for someone to get killed in front of a church. When the police came, the thief got up from the ground and went into the police car.
Tanzania is one of the few places on Earth where crooks run *to* the police.
So, no Robocop needed in Tanzania. Got it. 😉
The Kenyan equivalent of Rambo/Chuck Norris is a guy named Makmende.
fun fact: rambo means a plastic bag in Swahili, because many of them have a pic of Rambo on them.
Most villages have an informal police called sungusungu. They mostly act as a drunk patrol so people get home safe.

Kariakoo is a neighborhood in Dar es Salaam. I read the name is a garbling of Carrier Corps. The British recruited a lot Tanzanians to carry stuff in WW2.

Is the umbrella some kind of signal so he doesn’t get arrested?
Ahem. I can only tell you that I have seen similar things used to help identify someone in a crowd if there is aerial surveillance, i.e. a drone. Awfully weird to have an umbrella like that on a sunny day, but it really can help provide ID to other people who might be watching from elsewhere – usually above.
There are less obtrusive ways, e.g. electronic means, but in an environment like that, an umbrella is a great backup in case tech goes shitty (lose a GPS signal, for example). Surveillance can easily ID the carrier.
If we do have a scaled-down wedding, how do we go about explaining to all the guests that we won’t be able to invite all of them?
Does anyone ever look forward to a wedding? Nobody is more relieved than people who have to be disinvited from a wedding.
Some good friends were supposed to get married last Sunday, in Des Moines, IA. Wife and I were there when dude proposed to our friend 18 months ago. We were ready to go, hotel reservations and flights ready to be booked. As the pandemic kept creeping, I kept telling my wife to wait booking hotels and flights. February into March. March into April. Finally at the end of April, they called the ceremony/party off.
Thank God! Best case scenario, they go to the justice of the peace and get married in Newport Beach, and we celebrate and party down in October/November.
Worst case scenario, they reschedule the wedding for next year… in Des Moines, IA.
My favorite wedding by far was the one I wasn’t invited to because it was a small family affair, but I drove out for the kickass reception in a barn in the middle of nowhere. Drinking, carousing, getting off with the bride’s sister, that’s something to look forward to.
The better question would be, “How can I avoid feeling hurt when my friends sound relieved that they aren’t invited?”
Appears that Minneapolis has just written off that section of the city and are happy to keep it contained to that. Side note: I think it’s hilarious that my auto-correct originally changed happy to g-spot:) lol
We were planning to tear this all down, so they really saved us a lot of trouble. /Minneapolis

I just wanted to drop in randomly and tell you that your poetry sucks.
I almost never comment about anything here, ever, but when I see your poetry I feel compelled to let you and everybody else here know that I think it’s terrible. Why do I do this instead of just not bothering to read your article/poem, you ask? Because I’m a raging douchebag…fuck you, Bob. ;p
Maybe now wasn’t the best time for that. You know I’m just mocking somebody else, yes?
And what is up with the “first” shit?
I’m not gonna crumb Yusef for his poetry, because I have literally sent this as launch notes for my company in the past:
Our VP of Dev made a promise
Then left keeping it entirely on us
We’ve worked nights and weekends
I’m still checking loose ends
But we’re launching tonight, regardless
Believe me, I more than realize that I’m the last person here to criticize anybody else’s prose. We have a lurker from TOS who now seems to only comment to shit on Yusef for some bizarre reason. Just getting that out of the way now.
Well, at least you didn’t make fun of my limerick. I’m going to smoke a bowl, watch a bit more of the US burn to the ground, then go to bed dreaming of escaping this shit and praying camping is closer to normal than what I’ve been watching on TV.
Sleep well.
Trigger Hippie,
If we are thinking of the same person, let me offer a brief defense.
I think he is an infrequent commenter rather than a lurker. There is a great community here and even those who comment infrequently and lurk feel they are a part of it.
He said in his original comment on the subject, that he enjoys the other types of articles made by the contributor and finds that information interesting and valuable. As in artful as it may have been, I think he was critiquing the genre and he did not intend to hurt feelings. After that point, I think everyone’s feathers got ruffled.
Yeah, but then he doubled down and continued to rag on Bob in his future installments. The point he wanted to make was made, yet he felt the need to not only keep at it but began being more crass in his attacks. No sympathy here.
LOL. I’ve just checked the Unclaimed Property Division in my state and apparently I’m owed $10. They have the address of the apartment from which I moved out 9 years ago.
ZARDOZ was being tactful. You’re a sick fuck for not finding out if your wife was into that.
I snarfed. Thank you.
Aunt in law. That’s what makes it okay.
And snarfed harder.
There must be a PornHub channel for that.
I was the only participant left on zoom, waiting to see if anyone drunkenly wandered in, and it kicked me off after about 45 minutes of me being alone. Not even a computer wants my company. I’m animating, so was just being polite if anyone wandered in late.

I’ve been the last guy in a bar a few times. The first time was kind of fun. The other times made me feel sad.
I’m used to it. I’ve been an insomniac for more than 20 years, and I can hold my alcohol, leads to a lot of being the last one. But tonight I didn’t get home til 10:30, so I hadn’t had much to drink before everyone bowed out.
My guess is that being the last guy at the bar isn’t the saddest thing that happens at a bar.
That’s usually the guy that leaves with the last gal.
I think that maybe sadder for the girl
The first time, I high fived all the bartenders and they gave me little bags of cheetos and fritos because I told them I wasn’t driving home. The bar was about 150 ft from my apartment. I think I drank 4 St Benardus #12 that night plus some other stuff.
Getting close to finishing beer #12 for tonight. It’s good that’s it so hard to kill yourself with beer. I never drank a drop til I was 21.

I’m right around that number myself, and I was only drunk once before I was in college (although I had drank, I’m from Wisconsin after all)
I was raised Mormon, so booze was forbidden fruit for me. I remember feeling guilty in college because I bought a pack of coffee Oreos.
Those were the best cookies I ever tasted.
Oh, how the cookie crumbles…
I knew mormons in HS that drank more than me.

“Two men snuck into a bedroom with machetes after being hired to carry out a stranger’s sexual fantasy of being tied up in his underwear and stroked with a broom, only to discover they had got the wrong address.”
Happens all the time.
“Stroked with a broom”. That’s oddly specific.
Helpful hint – if you’re doing a scenario like this, you should put a go/no-go indicator somewhere all the players can see it. Something like, “To the left of back door, there will be a large mark in red chalk. A square means everything is good to go, come on in. A star means the scene is off, call me in the morning and we can reschedule. If there’s no mark at all, you’re probably at the wrong house.”
