I discovered something this weekend, my house is way too big, and we have way too much stuff. My wife took the boys to her mother’s for a long weekend and (obviously, she had my balls in her purse when she left) I thought it would be nice to clean the house for her, since she complains often that she hasn’t been able to since the boys have been staying home for the last two plus months. Mother. Fucker. Next time I clean this house it will be by piling up a bunch of shit in the driveway and having a bonfire. Now that pretty much everything down here open again, and going somewhere for a couple of hours is an options, I’m recommending we get a maid service.
I’m disappointed it isn’t 2^15.
Oh, sure. Let’s bring in Blue Helmets to disarm things.
This is really gonna hit the Karens where it hurts. “No justice, no peace, no brunch!”
I guess sending DeBlasio would have sent the opposite message.
This is me, falling out of love with my house.
I’m sorry this happen to the society…It hard to control myself. You probably call me ‘psychotic with a perversion for being first hang-up.’ Where this monster enter my brain I will never know. But, it here to stay. How does one cure himself? If you ask for help, that you have been first before so many people, they will laugh or hit the panic button and call the cops….I can’t stop it so, the monster goes on, and hurt me as wall as society. Maybe you can stop him. I can’t. Good luck hunting.
No, we just call you a prick. :-p

“Among plans put forward by Black Lives Matter, MPD150 and other activists to replace police are:
Mental health responders to attend mental health crisis in place of armed police
Street outreach teams, more shelters and affordable housing to help solve homelessness and stop the homeless from being criminalized
Traffic stops to be eliminated entirely, with traffic violations dealt with via. mail
Community members to attend domestic violence calls, to help intervene and establish long-term safety for the individuals
Specialized physical and emotional support for victims of sexual violence
Investing in prevention of sex trafficking to end economic and social conditions that lead to deeply rooted vulnerabilities
The legalization of marijuana to stop incarceration for the ‘harmless’ drug
Better handling of drug offences to stop ‘criminalizing of communities of color’
Decriminalization of sex work and formation of an independent union to ensure individuals have insurance, child care and safety precautions
Restorative justice (meetings between victim and offender) to be used to deal with property crimes such as theft and burglary ”

I’m sure nothing could possibly go wrong with this incredibly complex patchwork of bureaucracy in charge of things.

“formation of an independent union”

Last time I pursued collective bargaining with a hooker I ended up with the clap.
I can get behind some of that. With cameras is there really any reason to pull people over? Also the decriminalize vice stuff. Probably also the mental health people for the mental people.
“Restorative justice” is total bullshit, though.
It’s all bullshit. I hear: BLAH,BLAH,BLAH, vote for the most socialist candidate, BLAH, BLAH, anyone but Trump, BLAH,BLAH,BLAH…
What, you don’t want to have a sit-down meeting about why you’re a racist because you’re angry that someone stole all of the stuff out of your garage.
I understand the idea behind restorative justice is to get offenders to see, on a human level, the damage they’ve caused to a victim. I’ve actually met with offenders who seemed very contrite about their crimes. I’m not sure how effective it is on a wide basis, though.
Redlight cameras sure work great! I’m all for reduced traffic stops. They mostly exist as a revenue stream for police departments and its the number one way to decrease interactions with cops. But falling back on cameras isn’t really a good solution.
What do you do with the mental person who is a violent threat to themselves or others at that particular moment? There’s a reason mental health facilities have their own security.
There are situations that call for trained first responders. Not case workers.
“mental health people”
AKA firearm confiscation agents.
I worked psyche wards and noticed that mental patients escalate when staff escalate. I assume a large majority of the mentally ill could be managed with deescalation techniques. Obviously not all, but you have less schizophrenics shot in a shower this way.
Speaking of which, here’s an excellent short video that teaches basic de-escalation techniques.
I’ll have to watch it on my break. Thanks.
Meh. Alot of those don’t seem so bad. Why cops are being called in for mental health crisis is beyond me. They freaking shoot the guy 80% of the time.
Kind of leaves a lot of holes, namely what happens with assault, murder, armed robbery, rape, etc.
Those are all just property crimes, so really you shouldn’t even complain about them /Marxist
Because if some crazy asshole is doing something dangerous, EMS calls the cops.
Related to that – in this brave new world, good fucking luck getting an ambulance to come to certain neighborhoods.
Exactly. Unfortunately sometimes mental illness can become so acute that there is little option other than involuntary detention to bring a person to a psychiatric facility, and social workers are not going to be the ones bringing these individuals into the ambulance. These patients are not just someone being misunderstood, they can be floridly psychotic, brandishing weapons, physically assaultive, delirious, and/or putting themselves and those around them in great danger. Most police would prefer to get these individuals to psychiatric care rather than jail, although of course there are bad cops as in any situation. One thing that has been working very well in many police departments nationwide is to get their officers CIT- Crisis Intervention Training — to learn how to de-escalate and hopefully bring patients in willingly. Another approach that can work well is mobile crisis teams, which are mental health professionals paired with police to go to mental health emergency calls, with the mental health professional doing their best to engage while the police are there for backup, only getting involved when things get violent.
” Alot of those don’t seem so bad.”
Commies always frame their wants in terms that get you to think that. My standard reaction to any commie demand, even if they claim to have the cure for cancer, is ‘Fuck off’.
Two and a half are not bad.
Out of three and three-quarters?
Some of them already already are pretty prevalent:
Specialized physical and emotional support for victims of sexual violence
Some are already being implemented and found counterproductive:
Street outreach teams, more shelters and affordable housing to help solve homelessness and stop the homeless from being criminalized
Some of them have been tried and found lacking:
traffic violations dealt with via. mail
Red light cameras, anyone?
traffic violations dealt with via. mail
How else are you gonna pay for these solutions?
Restorative justice (meetings between victim and offender) to be used to deal with property crimes such as theft and burglary ”
Does that include restoring what was stolen or destroyed to the original owner?
Decriminalization of sex work and formation of an independent union to ensure individuals have insurance, child care and safety precautions
Do these idiots actually believe sex workers have corporate employers that you can negotiate benefits and work rules with?
I went to BLM rally on Sunday. One speaker, a HS student, talked about the concept of restorative justice, then a few seconds later said anyone accused of making a racist statement at any point in their school career must have it placed on their permanent record and the school have an affirmative obligation to disclose it to all colleges that student applies to. The students were really impressive public speakers (seriously), but they don’t do nuance.
Can’t we just use a big red “A” instead?
For you.
Because rebellious teenagers acting out and trying to get attention never happens and we should both assume they mean every word and blame them for the rest of their lives.
No redemption, no mercy — that’s one great justice system they want to build up… no way it ever gets abused.
Why bother with tracking and disclosing racist statements? People already disclose their race on college applications; the colleges already know who ticked the box for “White”, so they already know who the racists are.
Fucking Maoists.
The permanent record thing is scary as fuck. I would be fucked if these assholes heard half the shit I said as a teenager.
Obligatory: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iFdVOi3f3xk
Oh yeah?
I agree with many of those.
How about:
Decriminalize everything that isn’t abuse of power, rape, murder, theft, fraud, or closely circumscribed variants of those.
Refocus LE spending on investigation and prosecution of those crimes above.
Traffic stops to be eliminated entirely, with traffic violations dealt with via. mail
I predict a surprising increase in lost mail.
Is it just me or does anyone else think that it’s a mistake to outlaw choke holds for police? I know they can be dangerous especially if the suspect has an underlying condition but it’s better than trying to knock someone unconscious with a fist or baton and can be better than a taser in some instances. But in trying to apprehend someone I think a Brazilian Jujitsu style choke hold can be the best option.
Well, sure. As long as they actually let go of the person after they lose consciousness, put them in a recovery position, and get them immediate medical help if there isn’t a rapid return to consciousness… so no. They really can’t be trusted to execute them.
Back in my young wild days, it was know that fighting cops could include a large dose of mace / pepper-spray and some shots from the truncheon. So, we didn’t fight with cops.
In ’92, all my friends were amazed that anyone cared. We all knew that if we ran from the cops and refused to submit, we’d get beaten too. Pretty sure Rodney knew that too and just did it because he was drunk. All these people were shocked, but the usual suspects were not surprised in the least. I never got beat like that, but I got smaked around and I never did anything close. Worst I did was drive on a suspended license. Hit with flashlights more than a few times.
I’m so glad I was studying in Russia when the Rodney King riots happened.

Yes. I was there on a semester study abroad program the spring of sophomore year in college in 1992.

I grew up in Novgorod. Relatively close to St. Petersburg but no Gulf of Finland effect.
Legit question: I took one semester of Russian in college and I remember the alphabet and a few other things but not much. Is taking another class the best way to pick that up again, or do you recommend another resource?

Even the first one wasn’t that great. The effects were groundbreaking for the time and the visual style was cool, but the story was always silly.
I liked the first one – probably because I walked into the theater with no expectations and it wasn’t a dam reboot of something I’ve already seen.
Well, that was much more common in 1999 than today. I remember reading an article that pointed out that while not one of the top 10 grossing movies of 2019 was an original, six of the top 10 from 1999 were.
I had a cousin murdered a few years back and evidently his story is on a Netflix show called “I am a killer”. It was really weird watching a story about a family member’s murder. Also, I suspect there is a lot more to the story that didn’t make it on air. The episode was “in her hands” and my niece randomly came across it and told me about it.

How would defunding the MPD work? City Council member Jeremiah Ellison explains
Well not exactly “explained” if you ask me. He weasels around the topic. They are starting a conversation, etc, etc. If there is a silver lining to this situation it may be that it is going to cause the Left to eat a lot of its own. The crazies in office realize that they can’t just toss the police out and magically it will be unicorns and rainbows, but they have to try to keep the other crazies inside the tent voting for them. I doubt they will be able to pull it off. The crazies who aren’t in office and don’t have any real responsibilities won’t settle for anything less than no police department.
I don’t think that they realize that they are just a small vocal minority in the city. If push comes to shove, I think most city dwellers will be OK with squashing the next riot in the bud.
Defunding MPD, by the time we’re ready to do that, we will have a fully formed new public safety strategy in place
There you go. This is about establishing innumerable new nannies, busybodies, and quasi-LEOs in addition to the current cops. Who won’t be going anywhere.
There is still a ton of money down there. I think the business people got caught napping. I suspect this ‘conversation’ will shortly be nuked.
This shit is going to be the death knell to real police reform, as much as there was an actual movement to reform policing to begin with.
This whole episode is the death knell of police reform. That’s what pisses me off. “Systemic racism” doesn’t exist and cannot be fixed. Cops killing people for sport probably could have been. It was never designed to fix anything. Except maybe democrat chances at winning in Nov.
I could say that are certainly systemicaly disparate outcomes between what happens in urban vs suburban vs rural areas, which ends up impacting racial groups differently.
I was listening to some libertarian podcast today (still need to finish it), and the guys were talking about racisim in society, and they were talking about how just being in society you take in some level of bias/racisim. The problem i have with that is that the levels they are talking about are at the level of stereotypes, of which you see across any categorization.

Having moved every three to five years for . . . a long time, we were able to keep the surplus somewhat under control.
Still, we did a sweep last year and took several loads* to the Salvation Army, and I dumped a couple of loads in the dumpsters at work. I could probably still get a few loads out of the house and garage.

Pondering a significant order of 12 gauge ammo for defensive use. 2 3/4 inch shells only.
What say the commentariat?
#2 buck. 25 quarter inch pellets. high penetration up close, low penetration across the street, and even getting winged at 15 yards is going to change people’s minds about coming closer.
If it hadnt been for that damn canoe tipping over, I would have a 500A that I kept loaded with alternating 00 and slug.
“slug”
When you positively, absolutely *need* to create a cantaloupe-sized exit wound.
Unless I fail to properly evaluate the situation, or have bad trigger control, that wound isnt really my problem is it?
I do like Brett’s recommendation of #2 buck, tho.
/soft on crime
Wanted some PDX1 but they were out of stock – although I did get PDX1 .45. Also picked up some low velocity slugs.
Btw, what’s the verdict on using generic 12ga target ammo for skeet? Assuming only real restrictions would be at a range.
#00 buck. Shoot a 5 gallon bucket full of water to see the results.
More ammo is always a good thing.
There’s one generally accepted best choice – 8-pellet Federal Flite Control #00 Buckshot. Good luck on finding any.
The 9-pellet Federal FC #00 isn’t bad, but it tends to throw that ninth pellet out of the pattern.
Hornady Critical Defense #00 is supposed to be pretty good.
Do not get anything smaller than #00, or with more than nine pellets. The pattern density and penetration will suffer.
I’ve looked and looked for that Federal 8 pellet and never seen any
Buckshot of any kind is tough to find, at the moment. Honestly now might not be the best time to stock up.
But yeah, the Federal LE133 is like finding a four-leafed clover.
You know, it might be worth looking at spending some cash on a Vang Comp barrel package. Those barrels tend to work well with any brand of buckshot…

“State Patrol troopers strategically deflated tires … in order to stop behaviors such as vehicles driving dangerously and at high speeds in and around protesters and law enforcement,” Gordon said.
That sounds like unmitigated bullshit to me.
Gordon said the patrol also targeted vehicles “that contained items used to cause harm during violent protests” such as rocks, concrete and sticks.
That sounds more defensible, but also prone to over-inclusion.
When your cops arrest people by suffocating them, control traffic by slashing tires, you are the only state to vote for Mondale in 84, and your congressjihadi married her gay brother it’s time to pack it in. Stop trying to out California Sacramento.

An old friend used to have a sticker on his car that read “PDYC” in big block letters. Everyone would ask him which yacht club that was. He only rarely confessed that it stood for “Pussy Drives You Crazy”.

Im not sure how I feel about Nick Offerman (Axe Cop’s voice) and his politics. But he doesnt overtly cram them in people’s faces, is a bona fide woodworker, and is funny as hell.
The best part of the scripts is that they were written by a child. Or at least co-written; it was dude’s little brother.
He’s got a cabin up near my old stomping grounds, so I’m going to say he’s OK.
“If we hustled, we could pull in before the sun went down,” said Offerman at the Television Critics Association press tour this past January, sporting a green tie and perfectly tailored suit that made the other actors milling the hotel hallways look like they got fitted at a factory outlet.
That writer is swooning a bit too much. Almost a ‘swoosh’.

I believe all he has to do is tell them he will report that he has offered to bring them back on. At that point, unemployment benefits go away.

I would like to get Ozy’s thoughts on this:
https://people.com/health/crossfit-gyms-reebok-end-affiliation-after-ceos-racist-comments/
Fuck off.
I don’t call that racist.
Corporate America has very clearly picked a side in the culture wars. Expressing views that are held by many if not a majority of people in this country will get branded a racist and unpersoned.
After the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation shared a statement on Twitter about the Black Lives Matter movement and why “racism is a public health issue,” Glassman replied, “It’s FLOYD-19.”
Boy, that’s some big-league racism.
Moving to Belarus looks more and more reasonable.
That is my fantasy. Somehow Musk comes up with FTL travel and a new frontier is opened for people to escape to.
How fast would civilization on Earth collapse if the silent producers all decided to leave for some other planet where they could be left alone?
Galt’s Star?
The cult of Crossfit collides with the cult of Woke.
Same here.
As noted, the reaction from the CrossFit affiliates to his tweet has been pretty extreme – many are dropping their affiliations, including some of the OG CrossFit gyms. The tweet was almost perfectly designed to offend everyone with its rather terse ambiguity, replying to the people saying racism is a public health issue with “Its FLOYD-19”. That pisses of the people who are mad because their gyms were closed by idiot governors, and it was seen as mocking or dismissive by the wokescolds (as near as I can tell). I, for one, can’t figure out what he was trying to say, but I don’t follow him (or CrossFit inside baseball) that closely – I get occasional updates from Mrs. Dean, who is an instructor at a CrossFit gym.
I think Glassman is just reaping the whirlwind he sowed over the last few years with a lot of CrossFit affiliates and athletes. He has torched just about all the goodwill he had built up over the years. Absent that, I doubt the reaction would be as extreme as it has been.
I assume Crossfit is loading up a fire hose full of money to spray at some Marxist organization for penance.
The brand identity dependent companies like Reebok are running scared because of low revenue from COVID and a highly fickle, overly sensitive customer base.
If he didn’t know that was going to happen, he shouldn’t have that job.
I still don’t get what he was trying to say.
As far as I can tell, he was being glib.
Poor timing. I know a thing or two about that.
Me neither. It seems perfectly ambiguous to me. Was it “Racism is just as bad as the global pandemic that we took extraordinary measures to fight”? Was it “Hey, y’all remember that supposedly world-shattering crisis that we grossly overreacted to and just fizzled out? Yeah, this is just like that.” I can read it either way.
IHME wrote that “racism is a public health issue” – the Crossfit CEO responded with “It’s FLOYD-19”
I think it was just a stupid, throwaway glib (drink!) comment that wasn’t really meant to have any meaning or context. He thought it might be funny and maybe he had a few beers before getting on Twatter. I echo Scruffy in that the leader of an international brand unfortunately doesn’t have the privilege of making stupid, half-ass comments, especially in this climate.
especially in
this climatethese uncertain times.*ducks, runs*
I think Glassman is just reaping the whirlwind he sowed over the last few years with a lot of CrossFit affiliates and athletes.
The kipping pull-ups didn’t do it first?
A lot of people have been hitting me up about this. I think it’s an interesting microcosm of what’s going on nationwide. People seem to forget that a TON of the original gyms – even the Level 1 seminar program itself – hell, CrossFit itself, arose out of the LEO community. In the earliest days, Greg got a gig with the local Santa Cruz County sheriff’s department to get their guys fit. TJ Cooper (a black cop on the Jacksonville PD) was one of the first affiliates and attendees at the earliest seminars. Greg knows a BOATLOAD of cops and has a bunch of “cop” affiliates, both official and unofficial. Hell, I helped start CF “Thin Blue Line” in Manchester, CT, in fact, with a bunch of guys I had been doing BJJ with for decades.
All of that is a long way of saying, “I’m not so sure that 300 Affils leaving is the end of the world.” There are almost 8k Affiliates in the US and 15K worldwide. There have been virtue-signaling walkouts in the past – loud, messy, and public ones. I’ve been in the middle of several, in fact. It’s a tough balancing act for Greg. He’s always been that flippant – and his Affiliates loved him because of it. Now suddenly some people think he has to prostrate himself and I can tell you one thing about Greg Glassman – and it’s no secret because he’s said as much on camera – if you try to tell him what to do, he’ll do the opposite… just because.
So, for me, it’s like the same Rorschach Test we’re all doing right now with the coming election. Do the people screaming on twitter and torching cities constitute an electoral majority? Or is it just the loud minority driving a narrative. Does this loud-mouthed group of Affiliates really command some deeper majority of aggrieved gym owners? I guess we’ll see shortly, but most gym owners need to get back to training and leave the politics at the door. I don’t go to jiu jitsu, or ice hockey, or the gym, to hear this kind of bullshit. The “Karen” movement in CF deserves to be purged if that’s what this is.
There have been virtue-signaling walkouts in the past
Yeah, but Invictus? That had to hurt.
most gym owners need to get back to training and leave the politics at the door
Preach it, brother. Looks like Mrs. Dean’s gym is holding the line on that. They aren’t resigning their affiliation, either.
Thank you. I appreciate the insights.
Forcing politics into every last corner of life has been so helpful for this country.
Uffda. I don’t think this might be that good of an idea….
Young kids need to be part of conversations about racism, early childhood educators say.
Yeah, we need to bring the flaming dumpster fire of racial relations down to pre-school and kindergarten. That is what is missing.
What could possibly go wrong with stoking racial divisions in young kids?
And then anything the toddler says which might be disagreeable can then go on their permanent record, accessible to future employers.
Think about what can go right.
All those little informants, ready to tell their education major teacher about all the bad things mommy and daddy said about other races.
Go away, cow.

You know a guy could hope that this whole thing has really hurt her chances in her next Senate run. She’s been our Senator for 12 years now? and I never really ever saw enough of her to really dislike her. Her debate performances made me question how the GOP couldn’t beat her.
Now she might have someone run against her in the DFL primary from the loony Left. Ilhan Omar?
Now she might have someone run against her in the DFL primary from the loony Left.
She’s not up again for 4 years. By then (assuming we still have elections), this will all be ancient history.
Yeah, I noticed that with Newsom – he’s not up til 2022 so he’s pretty safe to do whatever he wants. At worst the Dem supermajority in Sacramento breaks to an ordinary majority in Nov- which is probably not ideal since then there’s dastardly GOP to blame for everything.
Given Dems are experts at saying Baltimore (Detroit, Mpl, pick a Dem city) failings are always America ofr society’s fault, it probably doesn’t matter.
Sorry for going off topic, but I’ve been lurking here for quite a while and I’m looking for some advice. I’m currently attending career counseling, and the top jobs recommended to me by some of the screening test are all IT related. Specifically, the top recommendation is Computer System Analysts. I was wanting to ask if anyone here worked in that specifically and if there are any certification programs I can look into to help move in that direction. Also, where would I work afterwards? What industries hire computer analysts? The same test also suggested programming, network administration, and software development. Anything you could let me know about this would be helpful. Thanks.
You can OT after 30 minutes ,Tulpa.
That was half an hour ago! Give the kid a break.
PS. Wish I knew anything about your topic, good sir.
I was telling him it’s okay to OT when he did because 30 minutes had elapsed.
IT careers are almost completely driven by certs. My recommendation is get as many as you can (CISSP, CISM, Security+, AWS Cloud Architect, etc.) and start shotgunning every job you can find that remotely fits what you’re looking for. You’re unfortunately entering a bad job market and you just need to take whatever first job you can get in your field, then start climbing the ladder.
Oh, and fuck off.
I’m skeptical of opened end “fit” tests. What’s your background, what do you know, what do you like to do in broad terms work wise, and what do you want to do in the future?
Fuck off, Tulpa!
I have no advice, but good luck!
IT gigs are available in every industry, from government to healthcare to manufacturing to finance to education to insurance to retail, and on and on. As Q suggested, get every certification you can and look for jobs that match those certs rather than limiting yourself to only specific industries.
It’s also nice if you can get your current employer to pay for some of them. Many of them are not trivial in cost.
Look tupla, we have rules here, Some of the unruly will go prancing along without an avatar, but i just want to let you know that you should cloth yourself if you want to make it to the upper crusts of glib society.
/cleans monocle
Pssht. Like someone who cleans his own monocle is part of the upper crust. Probably even gives his orphans a day off once a month.
The upper crust doesn’t drop terminal Es. It embraces them.
Uffda, I’ve been in the IT business since the mid ’90s and I’m not sure what the difference between a developer and a programmer is. And if they are suggesting programming/developer AND network administration, I’d be suspect of the test. In my experience network people and developers are different breeds. When developers (who have a lot of social problems) think that network admins are geeky and anti-social, that should tell you something.
I’d go in a different direction than Q and SP too. I’ve hired lots of developers and other IT people and I’ve never paid a bit of attention to certifications. In fact, the more certifications that a software package/platform offers the more suspicious I am of if (I’m looking at you SalesForce). To me certifications just reek of a revenue grab. Note, I am not saying this about training programs. Those are good and if you end up with some sort of certification, that is OK. I’m more ranting about SalesForce making you take tests (that you have to pay for) to “prove” you know something.
A quick semi-painless way to get involved in IT is to go to one of the coding boot camps that are popping up everywhere. You spend six to nine months going to classes every day to learn the basics of how to be a programmer/developer. I like them because they tend to focus a lot more on things you will actually use in the work force and not so much on how to write “elegant” solutions. They also tend to have a lot of job placement help. They really want their grads to get jobs.
My daughter went to one here in the Twin Cities and they got her her first job. She’s been working in the industry since then and has really liked it.
One last bit, don’t get too worked up on exactly what you will be doing. Get some basic training and get a job. Most of the time your company will have all sorts of opportunities to change teams and work in different jobs. So if you discover you want to be a DBA later, it is easy to change if you have some experience already.
Good luck and Fuck Off Tulpa!
I took a completely different route. Taught myself everything I know and walked in to HR and told them to put me in IT. That was 20 years ago. I don’t have any certs – I hope that doesn’t bite me in the ass.
Me either. I’ve been doing computer related stuff for 20 years and the only cert I ever got was a bullshit Linux Admin certificate.
All this talk of defunding the police will have an unintended consequence I think. I bet whole departments start having “sick days”.
That, and safety-obsessed suburban Karens start demanding even more police power thus completely undermining and meaningful use of force reform.
Give them a taste of what could be? I believe it will happen.

Half of Twitter right now is stuff that is not, in fact, about solving racism or fixing the world, but people trying to use the present conversation to rocket-launch petty grievances onto the internet, and everyone’s just lapping it up to show they’re on the right side
So pretty much business as usual in the sewers.
If its only half, then I would say its a marked improvement.
*disclaimer: my only exposure to Twitter comes from links on this site*
Saggar from the Hill is an out and out socialist, but he was calling this out too, as a Corporate backed movement to get people to focuse on racisism and how they are good rather than class struggle.
A bit too socialist for me, but still interesting to see where bifurcations are happening.
As far as I can tell, this is typical billionaire Lefty funded agitation designed not to advance a cause, but to demoralize and destabilize society in general. The handlers know things like UHLIMUHNAYT POLEES DUHPARTMUNTZ! are political losers, they’re just whipping up the true believers and fracturing the nation. It’s typical Commie strategy.
Of course the useful idiots continue to think that it’s about race or “inequality” or ORANGEMANBAD but those are all justifications and distractions from the Long Game.
The more i’ve watched Krystal and Saggar, you can see there is a growing rift between the Economic Socialists on the left (typically the ones who focus on actual socialist policies), and the Cultural/SJW left. The former are pissed because the Democrats love the latter, but “never offer” substance. See Liz Warren for example. She abandoned her progressive agenda to signal that she was on board with the cultural agenda.
We’ll see what happens.
So the economic socialists are jealous because this new SJW left hussy came along and attracted all of the attention?
Sure. I’m pissed that in other fora I’ve criticized the police and cop worship to the point people think I’m a crank, and then this comes along and the same people think their criticism of cops is virtuous and you can only criticize cops the same way they do.

End Racism is a slogan, not a policy.
Defund the Police is a pretty dumb idea IMO, but it’s an actual idea
End Qualified Immunity. Eliminate Police Unions. End The Drug War. are all ideas that can be debated, discussed, and translated into specific action.
One of things I reject is the notion that good ideas must be long ideas. The Constitution is shorter than the regulations on the sale of frozen vegetables. The idea that we can’t have a genuine policy proposal in 140 characters is asinine. You absolutely can. You’re just choosing to type RACISM IS BAD JUSTICE IS GOOD and preening over your activism.
There’s a reason all the corporations and politicians are on message of Racism Is Not Good, because you can just throw out money to “community groups” and move on with business as usual. Actual change requires actually changing something.
Thank god Twitter in no way reflects the real world, or that’s what I would have said two weeks ago.

It’s studies like these on the limitations of the human senses that fuel the idiotic postmodern refutations of the existence of any objective truth.
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-philosophy-lab-vision-impossible.html
Hume, Kant et al covered this centuries ago.
Jeebus, Gorillaz covered it *Bings* 19 years ago.
“‘Cause you don’t see with your eye, you perceive with your mind”
Fuck me, that was 19 years ago?
Michael Malice had an interesting conversation with Thadeous Russell re: Postmodernism. I found Russell to be wanting in the argument department. Essentially he would point at times where science had been wrong in the past and say “Look back then they would have said they had science on their side, and they were wrong” therefore you really can’t know if we are right today.
Which seems really strange way to be framing your argument about truth, to be accepting that someone was wrong. If there is no truth, then no one can be wrong or right. Otherwise you are just saying that the truth is unknowable, which is a different argument than what postmodernists make.
They stop seeking truth and substitute power for it. If there is no truth, then why debate, why argue, why reason?
Power, relative and absolute, becomes the only metric by which anything can be measured.
Except that they came to the conclusion that true or not, knowable or not, we need to act as though there is objective reality else everything falls apart. The modern left somehow comes to the conclusion that we can therefore make reality as we see fit. Let’s parse that
Mankind only knows the objective world through the mediation of perception
Perception can mislead
Therefore mankind has only imperfect knowledge of the objective world
Perfect objective knowledge is therefore impossible to mankind
Humanity is thereby limited
???
Humanity has the power to create its own reality
Sorry but the argument leads to the conclusion that man is limited, not that man gets to be God. If you want ‘Men Like Gods’ as a conclusion you need ‘Man has unlimited capacity’ in your premises, not ‘Man is incapable of knowledge.’
Hume acknowledged the existence of reality, even if we couldn’t always perceive it. We still had something to pursue.
Kant laid the groundwork for the constructivists like Hegel and Marx, to be followed by the postmodernists. Where reality confirms to social need.
And utopia hides under a million piles of skulls
I have read that twice. Is it just me or is it complete bullshit? It looks to me (forgive my biased perspective) that they are constructing a fairly weak argument to arrive at their preferred conclusion.
This jumped out at me: “…they are looking at how stereotypes affect perception—specifically if subjects have a harder time seeing people who defy their gender stereotypes.”
Of course they did.

Yeah, I thought so, I just didn’t quite follow the reference.
I’ve been steadily un-following derpbook friends who insist on making ignorant political statements on the pages (not unfriending). I will re-follow them when they publicly post on their page a message to the employer that they intend to resign within a defined time period (say 30 days) and demand their employer replace them with a minority.
I’ve never seen such a stampede to loudly and publicly be on the “right side” of something in my life.
I subtly (or not) mock them once a day now.

I went back to the office today for the first time in… eight years? Twelve years? Three months? and it was, unsurprisingly, the best day working I’ve had since this retarded episode began.
I just cannot see how anything good can come from going back to the office. At least for me, there isn’t a damn thing I can do in the office I can’t do here and there are way less interruptions and no commute.
My office setup is much more conducive to my work, not to mention the latency I have working from home is atrocious. Plus I actually feel like I’m employed working a job rather than futzing around between projects waiting for a pink slip. I’m surrounded by intelligent professionals rather than isolated at home.
Sure, I get it, we’re all in different situations with this. I’m just looking forward to Starlink getting launched so I can move even further into the wilderness after I finally leave this shithole.
If I were further along in my career I could see being happy working from home. The other techs seem to be.
I’m surrounded by intelligent professionals
Ditto.
Also, some that are easy on the eyes.
I’m still not allowed to go back. My union rep called and told me to not sign anything when they let us come back. Now, I’m wondering what they’re gonna make us sign.
“I’m still not allowed to go back.”
Me either, and maybe much to their surprise, I don’t want to. I’m not even sure that I will, yet.
My wife’s company sent them an email today telling them they are back in the office after Labor Day and they have to wear masks all day. She told her boss (who works at home full-time) that there was no way she was wearing a mask all day. They’ll probably just move her to permanent work-at-home.
Oh, FFS. Are they seriously saying that people will have to wear masks in the office until the end of time?
I don’t make my employees wear masks, nor my customers. I think everyone would quit if I tried. They’re completely over this bullshit, sick and tired of it.
Ours asked that we wear masks in the communal areas, which covers maybe 2% of my day. Nobody takes it super seriously, and nobody’s wearing one at their desks.
