Job doing what?
My Census gig is back on, besides my little A/C company

Does your little AC company only work on window units?
I don’t do window shakers, no money in it, Commercial refrigeration, Bars, restaurants, etc. is what I do,
I didn’t complete mine yet. Am I going to be arrested?

Excellent!
“defend by using a CDC approved repellent such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon-eucalyptus”
Stupid CDC doesn’t approve of vapors from a meth lab.
What about G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate?
Not Adahn, ‘DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon-eucalyptus’ are for individuals to use on themselves. G-23 paxilon hydrochlorate is for use on geographic areas. Such as to prevent #BLM ‘peaceful’ protestors from getting bit. A study done at Miranda found outdoor application of G-23 paxilon hydrochlorate to be 99.9% effective.
Reavers would likely eat free range protestors first, so that is a qualified yes.
Bobarian LMD, +1 ‘qualified yes’. Bonus: G-23 paxilon hydrochlorate would make ‘peaceful’ protests peaceful.

I think so…what month is this?
June……

Yup, my calendar shows Friday is the observed day for the 4th.
KibbledKristen, your comment posted ‘June 29, 2020 at 3:06 pm’ Glibs time. June 29 = Monday same week July 4 = Saturday.
From the skeeter-prevention article:
The County recently resumed its sentinel chicken program, which surveils for mosquito-borne diseases by regularly testing chickens that are caged in eight target locations throughout the county. Chickens are effective sentinels because if bitten by a mosquito carrying a virus, they develop the antibodies much like we do for the common cold.
This works? That’s super cool! Like arbovirus canaries, only bigger, flightless, and more delicious.
They also help control Florida’s unregistered mutants.
How do they control the registered mutants?
With taxes and regulations, same as with everyone else.
They have been known to give registered mutants the “Mutant Cure”, a special anti-mutagenic antibody that is capable of removing a mutant’s powers to restore them as normal humans. Rogue wanted to take it so she could finally kiss her boyfriend.
Sentinel chickens! I hope they wear tiny helmets and carry tiny radios.
So. What are we looking at here? The mob scene in Gangs of New York?
Talentless, incompetent, far left SJW are in too many positions of power. Then we wonder why….shit is hitting the fan.

And?
Yeah, I don’t get it either. In what context did she say she regrets nothing?
To her Tweet that white women are lucky they’re only being called ‘Karen’. They deserve a worse fate.
The usual race-baiting twaddle, then.
Yeah, she deleted the earlier tweet.
Strange for someone who regrets nothing.
I read beaches are shutting down in Florida.
But keep those rallies going amirite?
Rufus the Monocled, short answer: you are right and Right. Florida has 67 counties. 65 other than Broward and Miami-Dade, Florida stage 2 reopening. Progressing to stage3 on hold. Stage 2 Florida modified close beaches and places serve alcohol but do not charge for warm/hot food or do not have warm/hot food no longer serve alcohol. Left protests – BLM, Pride, etc. – still allowed. Broward and Miami-Dade still below stage 2.
I have been a fanatical mosquito murderer all of my life. Standing water will not stand. Hell, I even go through the trouble to shoot or chop holes in stumps with spunk water in them.
I also fog my yard.
I hate mosquitoes with the heat of a thousand suns. I would exterminate them entirely from the earth if I could. Ticks, fleas, biting bugs of all kinds, round worms, flat worms…the lot of them.
I’m opposed to parasites in general. That includes politicians.
Correct. I forgot to put them on the list.

Without spunk water, how do you cure warts?

Then how the fuck do you cure your warts?
Sigh… In the People’s Republic of New Jersey our beloved leader has just withdrawn his consent for restaurants to offer indoor dining starting Thursday.

Don’t you believe in science?
And the increased testing too.
Fuck that motherfucker. Fuck him and his collective punishment, treating taxpaying citizens like fucking children. Maybe I’ll stay in this state for one more year just so I can vote against that buck-toothed potato-headed bag of shit in November 2021.

It Doesn’t Matter Who Did or Did Not Own Slaves
Ill-educated Black Lives Matter protesters are on a rampage tearing down monuments of American heroes that they believe owned slaves or were complicit with slavery. Their rage is the consequence of allowing anti-American socialists and communists to dominate public education for decades. Students have been filled with lies and distortions about American history.
It is good that properly educated adults have taken to the airwaves in an attempt to reeducate the dumbed-down mobs regarding the truth about America and her heroes.
I am a proud and grateful American who happens to be black. And frankly, I do not care who did or did not own slaves. What difference does it make that our founding fathers and other heroes were not perfect their entire lives? Descent people learn, become more enlightened and evolve throughout their lives. I cringe thinking about bad things I believed, said and did in my youth. Should my entire life be canceled? The Bible speaks of repentance and redemption.
The bottom line is that the flawed human beings who founded America created something extraordinary and wonderful based upon biblical principles. Eventually, slaves were freed, a black man was elected president and Oprah, a black woman, has earned $2.6 billion. America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all who choose to pursue their dreams. Now, can we please move on? Leftists are hellbent on keeping us stuck in the ancient past.
Aunt Jemima might have been the first African-American woman to become a millionaire. That didn’t prevent her from being cancelled.

“Reddit shuts down a pro-Trump forum amid content crackdown as Amazon’s live-streaming platform Twitch temporarily bans the President’s channel for ‘hateful conduct’
The site’s new content policy said communities and users that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability would be banned.
And according to Reddit, The_Donald forum has consistently broken the site’s rules by allowing people to harass others with hate speech.
‘The community has consistently hosted and upvoted more rule-breaking content than average, antagonized us and other communities, and its mods have refused to meet our most basic expectations.
‘Until now, we’ve worked in good faith to help them preserve the community as a space for its users—through warnings, mod changes, quarantining, and more.”

By strange coinkidink, right after a few big companies just announced a “temporary” “halt” to social media advertising spending because there’s so much hate speech on social media.
“We have strict policies prohibiting hate speech on YouTube, and terminate any channel that repeatedly or egregiously violates those policies,” a YouTube spokesperson told The Verge. “After updating our guidelines to better address supremacist content, we saw a 5x spike in video removals and have terminated over 25,000 channels for violating our hate speech policies.”
I have viewed a lot of SM’s content and not once have I heard him engage in hateful commentary. He has, however, dared to question many leftist narratives.

“Black teen, 16, is killed and a 14-year-old boy is wounded after gunmen fired into their Jeep at Seattle’s CHOP zone – as protesters claim those inside the vehicle opened fire first and police say the crime scene has been ‘disturbed'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8471219/One-man-dead-wounded-Seattle-CHOP-zone-shooting.html
Wait, is this article saying that CHOP “security” personnel killed a 16 year old African American and wounded a 14 year old?
DEFUND CHOP SECURITY!
I’ll wait for confirmation on whether the CHOPistas are telling the truth on who shot first. Since at least one of them was black, it seems unlikely they were white supremacists.
The 16-year-old died several hours later and the 14-year-old remains in a critical condition. One of the victims had gunshot wounds to his hip, arm and temple.
Either somebody got lucky, or somebody executed a wounded person.
Even if they are 100% justified, they still kill black bodies at a higher rate (50% of all killings) than the police force does (less than 33% of all killings).
Shot to the temple. “You Ain’t Dead Yet”. Yeah, that sounds dirty.
Heh.
The left is going to make sure the right can only get its word in edgewise via home mimeograph machine newsletters and postage stamps, because Office Depot isn’t going to copy their hate speech.
That got a snort out of me.
Pfft. like Post Office will not cancel their deliveriesaaaaaa.
And alos, are the homes zoned for mimeographing?
I was gonna say something about “there is absolutely freedom of speech, you can talk in your kitchen with radio turned up” but, that might actually fall under Plague-Spreading Gathering…

Whelp, it looks like my rifle purchase will be delayed… again. The wife just found a massive leak in the garage ceiling.
*sigh*
Houses suck.
Yes they do!

Fortunately my plumber dude is a stand-up guy. Plus, he’s a Russian immigrant.
In Soviet Russia, pipes plumb you!
America, what a country!
“Found” or “created in order to prevent you from buying a new toy”?
No, see, what she’d do is say, “Sure, honey, you can have that. I’ll be back with a new [very expensive item] in a bit.”
I had to laugh. Mrs. Dean just happened to run across Bondurant having a sale on their performance driving classes in Phoenix a couple days after my new shotgun followed me home.
At least she’s getting something useful.
Garage ceilings are overrated.
Put a pot up there to catch the leak. Buy rifle. Then when she informs you she needs 30 new pairs of shoes, remove pot and tell her the shoe money has to go to the leak that just returned.
Oddly enough, she is not like that, at least not for herself. Jewelry, shoes, clothes, she’s never been collector. I think she upgraded her wardrobe last year because was giving (Pre-CCP Virus) presentations to VPs and doctors. As a far as vehicles go, “Does it have heated seats?” is her only demand. Color, make, style, she DGAF, as long it’s not Ford anymore.
On the other hand, whatever her kids want, they can have. I just pay the bills and shut up, usually. Since I can’t force a firm budget, I will probably never retire. The wife says she won’t retire either, and doesn’t care.
For example, I bought an iPad Pro Christmas for me. I hated it. I was going to resell it, but I gave it to my wife who wanted to replace her old Lenovo laptop. She hated it too. Guess who has it now, my XX. Oh well, it least it counts as her birthday present.
I must be a very expensive date, because I like gunz & shoez.

OK, how massive?
Is this a stylish, insulated, heated garage with metal walls, etc? Or shingles over bullshit tar paper?
It’s probably an easy fix.
It’s probably an easy fix
Possibly, but it is a high ceiling under my son’s bathroom. We told him he’d have use a different one until we can get to it. I didn’t notice it yesterday, and now there is peeled paint on my car. The area affected is about 8′ x 4′.
Ah. That’s a different animal.
How old is your son? Did he possibly overflow the toilet or shower with the door partially open (both actual events in my house, btw)?
I assume you have some sort of inspection access for the faucets, etc?
I can find no problems topside. The sheet rock is ruined already, so there will be some cutting. This happened elsewhere in this house with a pipe that was simply not sealed. I could twist the pipe loose easily. Fortunately, it was for a shower that didn’t get used much.
Crap. Time to break out the sawzall and see what’s what.
I still think you’re getting the rifle!
Careful with the Sawzall for exploratory work, easy to cut through wires and plumbing, if the Sheetrock is already toast score it with a sharp utility knife knock a hole thought with a hammer and pull it down by hand.
By golly, I think you’re right! I deserve to leave my children nice things.

Singer Benny Mardones dies aged 73
I love that song.
But you knew that.
I had a feeling you’d be in mourning.
One of the best songs ever. That’s sad, maybe the dude met his demise bedding 16 year olds.
When I was a teenager, I’d spend the summer lying on my bed and reading Harlequin Presents like they were going out of style. A goodly number of them featured 18yo ingenues with 36yo conflicted, brooding, resistant heroes–until he couldn’t resist any longer.
Man, I loved those stories. Totally cemented in me an adoration for the May-December romance. Sadly, I am now of an age where I am the December and I don’t like cougar tales.
So yeah, “She’s just 16 years old, leave her alone, they say; separated by fools, who don’t know what love is yet” was top of my list. Then came “She’s only 17; Daddy says she’s too young, but she’s old enough for me”.
This should surprise no one.
Bud Cort is quite a few years older than you, I think.
So is Tommy Lee Jones. *le sigh*

Oddly enough, current wave of #metoo hitting has a lot of women claiming sex abuse because of age disparity.
I swear this is true, I just read today about some SF groupie whining how she was fucked by a 37 year old when she was a tender, inexperienced 25 year old.
Likewise, a thot who fucked her way into a toxic video game kickstarter where she shat on customers before she was finally fired now whines how same age gap (well fine, guy who got her a job was 39) was sexual harassment.
A lot of SJW romance readers get pissy about that storyline (beginning about 10-15 years ago). They say the power imbalance (student-professor [*ahem* wrote that], employee-boss [*ahem* wrote that too], ward-guardian, dad’s bestie-and-daughter) makes it nonconsensual.
Well, okay, let’s talk about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

“She’s just 16 years old…”
Yeah. Fuck that guy. That song always creeped me out.
Some grown man shows up at my house looking for a 16 year old girl he is going in the bayou. Gators gotta eat too.
Not so much, dude. My mom was only 16 when she married my dad. It’s only been in the last few decades that people have thought a 16 year old woman if off limits.
Back then they must have been smarter, cause even thinking about being in a relationship with a 16 year old makes me want to blow my head off.
They, like the adolescent males, were very much more responsible. The boys were reared to go to war. The girls were reared to be able to keep the homestead while they did that.
Yup, adolescence as extended childhood is a very modern luxury.
Now it’s been extended to 40 and they haven’t made it past toddler by that point.
My dad was 19. They were married for 66 years before mom died. Maybe they were smarter back then.
We were talking with my wife’s grandfather the other day. They had 5 kids earlier in life than we had our first.
I don’t know if there’s a better or worse when it comes to that, but I know that the infantilization of people who are fully capable of being adults is a very bad thing for our society.
I know things were different in the past but this isn’t the past. Some dude pulls his dick out for a 16 yo girl at my house and I am cutting it off and using it for bait. It’s not up for discussion. Thems the rules around here.
Anthony Cumia and his sidekick break down that song and the video while pulling no punches. NSFW but funny:

Stewart said, “No. I think just white power is playing in his head all the time. So he hears it from somewhere else, he just thinks —I think it’s just like Muzak just kind of playing in his head all the time, so he doesn’t really listen to it. And listen, that’s The Villages in Florida. I’ve got to tell you that parade reminded me of a lot of Passover Seders I have been to. That’s pretty much how it goes. Let’s celebrate our freedom Egypt, and then you guys can curse at each other. I’ve got relatives that are to the right of Genghis Khan. So I have been to that party. It’s not a fun party.”
He continued, “I just feel like we’re in such pain. There’s so much anguish. And I think it’s clear in this election, look, what’s Donald Trump going to run on? His record? That’s not going to happen. So this is going to be— he’s going to go Father Coughlin. Like, this is going to be the single most divisive campaign we’ve ever faced. He’s going to be meth head Nixon. It’s going to be Southern Strategy, all fear-mongering. You see it right now. He’s basically just sitting in his basement, tweeting out the fear-based trolling videos. This is what it’s going to be.”
I suspect he’s not wrong about that.
Every election surpasses the last.
Its only because the quality of candidates continue to deteriorate. The Rand Pauls of the world can’t win ’cause dishonesty pays better.
Clown nose on, clown nose off.
It’s amazing how many people these days are making a living pretending to know what Donald Trump thinks.
Wait. Does John Stewart think Joe Biden is Donald Trump?
As always with the left, the projection is strong.
Do me! What number am I thinking of?
Pumped up Kicks: Medieval style
Woke yoga studio that wasn’t woke enough in its Instagram posts during Floyd protests is torpedoed by a couple of its employees.
https://coloradosun.com/2020/06/29/kindness-yoga-closure-during-black-lives-matter/
“The grievances aired on social media in the last several days described — with few specifics — a culture where the voices of minorities and LGBTQ teachers were not heard. In interviews with The Colorado Sun, yoga teachers Jordan Smiley, who is Indigenous and transgender, and Davidia Turner, who is Black, said the white management team at Kindness was not willing to put in the work to make change.
For example, Turner said, the board of directors declined to hire an outside diversity expert as she suggested, instead “cherry-picking” certain diverse members of the staff that they felt comfortable talking to about race and inclusivity. After hearing that Kindness’ website was too white-centric, management then invited people of color and other minorities to an hours-long yoga photoshoot. They were accused of “tokenism.”
In retrospect, Harrington says, he wishes Kindness had not staged photos but instead had sent a photographer to any of its classes.
After the photoshoot for minorities, several instructors expressed their outrage. And when Turner told the then-CEO, a white woman, that it was not the job of her minority employees to fix the culture, the woman began to cry, Turner said.”
……..
“Turner also posted a video to her blog, railing against the former CEO’s tears as well as Harrington’s expression of “sadness” regarding her resignation.
“The weaponizing of sadness and tears is infuriating,” Turner said in her viral video. “It is one of the more insidious factors of white supremacy and whiteness. And it is used as a tool and as a tactic to make me feel in this Black body that I have done something inherently wrong to bring this sadness upon you.””
Don’t worry, though. The guy who just had to close all of his yoga studios because his customers are boycotting him is trying to learn. He’s going to read White Fragility.
I hate each and every person in this story.
Never apologize, cry, grovel, kneel, or hire a “diversity expert”. Oh well… live and learn.
Wow, this is happening faster than I thought. They weren’t supposed to get to this part so soon.
EMOTIONS ARE HATE!
Plus, you did do something inherently wrong, you deluded asshole. Not by making someone cry, but by staging a shitshow about your employer on social media, thereby ruining the whole enterprise.
“I see here on your application that you are lbgtzo….something. I am sorry, this position has already been filled.”

I didnt ask if it was legal. I said the position is filled and thank you for your time.
“But some teachers wonder how closing down helps Denver’s yoga community make progress.”
It doesn’t. Also, isn’t Denver very white?
I don’t know, is it ok for a black woman to be a yoga teacher? Didn’t yoga start in SE Asia? Is she not an evil cultural appropriator?
That story is so fucking dumb it hurts.
Yup. In the end, a middle-aged dude who built up a successful franchise is now broke, and he’s been convinced that he’s a bad person.
The Simpsons Will Now Only Use Voice Actors Who Permanently Dye Their Skin Yellow
Hepatitis-Americans form a protest.
Rebel Scum and Bobarian LMD, that is jaundiced attitude.
What about Malarial-Americans?
I will admit, I forgot the Simpsons were all yellow.
I thought they were saying “yellow” == “coward”.
Maybe they are/not. Still works.
Tonio! Nice to see you again. I was getting worried about you.
Likewise
Sometimes Darwin doesn’t win. Two idiots in Wisconsin manage to help a dumb animal and not get chomped up.
About 5 years ago in a town about 15 miles away from my hometown, a bear with a jar stuck on its head wandered into a street festival. A sheriff’s deputy shot the bear before it could hurt anyone. Locals thought it was a funny story. Twin Cities PETA types blew a gasket about why they didn’t try to trap or tranquilze the bear.
WHo got the pelt?
Hateful.
This adds some context to yesterday’s headlines.

They are being mocked from all sides, media has struck again. The right to defend your property is now racist.
well of course it is. Only Racists would be in need for defending themselves from mobs.
They’ll be back tonight, after dark, with the torches
Why didn’t the police tell this lady that it is too bad, feeling uncomfortable is not a crime?
I’m sure she’d be totes cool with the police hassling muslims because they made people feel uncomfortable because they were scairt of terrorists.
This is where defunding the police would come in. They’d just send some social workers to the gangs’ club houses for sensitivity training.
Or the social worker would scold her for being out past the kid’s bedtime.
This seems like more crappy reporting. There is a claim they intimidated her. Of course, there are no specifics. Either she got nervous all on her own or they did or said something. We’ll never know from this article.
Makes me wonder, just how fat is she?
Charming. WaPo must be very proud.

Really Karen?
The ones who want a race war never realize what will happen if they get it.
Those of you who haven’t joined the Friday Zoom drinking/talking session sessions yet – please consider joining us one of these times! It’s a lively time and we could always use fresh blood….errr…participants. Personally, I’ve gotten used to the meetups and want to see them continue.
They are always scheduled during weekend family time. How long do they usually last, maybe i can hit the tail end of those things.
Sometimes quite late night (like, wee hours). They usually get really cooking about 9-9:30 (Eastern)
That’s board game time for me.
This, what KK said.
You never know what will happen. TresCool did a cooking demo and The Hyperbole did a chisel sharpening demo (I think – I sadly missed it).
I can show you my little TARDIS. It has goodies in it sometimes.
You don’t have to appear on camera, BTW.
*puts away fairy outfit*
Fairy outfits and silly hats are highly encouraged.
But if you want to nap for the crew, that’s okay too.
Tucson is in whatever the very highest possible risk for fire is.
The authorities have cancelled the big fireworks shows (amusingly, one of these always catching the mountain near downtown Tucson on fire).
Confident prediction:
Without the big public shows, there will be a record number of home fireworks “shows”, which will result in a record number of fires.
Not setting off illegal fireworks in un-American.
Try not aiming them into people’s houses, though. A toddler got burned here the other day – inside his apartment.
Stupid little Bou Bou Phonesavanh shouldn’t have loved in that house if he didn’t want to get hit by fireworks.
Interesting followup on the Pistol-Packin’ Lawyers
Also, a photo of the busted gate.
The DA, though, is making predictable noises about peaceful protestors who were met with a “violent assault”. The Pistol-Packin’ Lawyers have, well, lawyered up:
I though this was a joke, but that’s an actual quote. At least, it is according to the article.
Also of interest, apparently the Pistol-Packin’ Lawyers are (well, were, one hopes) big BLM supporters, and have made several donations.
They were at least smart enough to (finally?) figure out that buys no protection.
Melanin deficient? LOL get fucked.
I want to know why they are living in a federal reserve bank building.
I about fell over when I saw it was currently appraised at (only) a little over $1mm. And that’s after what looks like a very comprehensive period-correct restoration.
Location, Location, Location.
I’m always amazed at $1M will buy you in the middle of the country compared to the Bay Area, where it will get you either a studio apartment in an OK neighborhood in SF, or a three-bedroom 1600 sq ft starter home on a 1/16th-acre lot in the suburbs. Move to St. Louis and get a manor in a gated community instead. From what I remember, even better deals in Kansas City area.
To me the biggest problem in my area, and probably many similarly affordable places to live, are the leftist assholes who cash out of their overpriced shitholes. They move to a nicer, less regulated/taxed state, and buy a luxury estate. Then they spew their leftist bullshit and vote for the same policies they escaped from. Assholes, all.
Mission Hills, KS, toniest neighborhood in the metro, $1.1M.
Cross the state line to the second toniest neighborhood in the metro, $1.1M.
Did I see one of the peaceful protesters aiming at the lawyers, or was I seeing things?
Damn. There are a whole bunch of stories these days where I hate everyone involved.
So my company has published a recommended reading list. Here are some of the books:
White Fragility
Me and White Supremecy
Raising White Kids
How does this not create a hostile work environment?
Jeezus Chrysler drives a Dodge
And Mary’s in a Travel Lodge.
Driving on the wages of sin.
Well from my annual required trainings hostile work environments are based off of the person making the claims and the reasonable person standard.
So you might have a case.
Pish. Complaining about it just proves you have white fragility. No reasonable person would be offended by a reading list that is calibrated to their inherent deficiencies and shortcomings.
Kafka’s The Trial was not an instruction manual, dammit!
According to the statutes and regs, it does.
According to the people who actually enforce the anti-discrimination laws, complaining about it creates a hostile work environment unless your employer promptly fires you.
They forgot a certain manifesto?
OFFS!!
Serious, non-snarky question to people who know about late 60s in the US.
I can accept the “this is just like pre-Nixon ’68 and we know how that ended” but: Were corporations donating to Black Panthers and/or various lefty protest groups?
Was there a rash of “we should have conversation” meetings (or whatever late 60s phrase would be) and making people read woke literature of the period?
That’s the thing, the left has far more institutional and corporate power now than they did then. We’re in trouble.
Yeah, my feeling is that the answer is “No” to all of that.
You are correct.
They arent going to stop pushing until they get what they have wanted all along. They are too stupid to know the old saying ‘be careful what you wish for’.
Unfortunately we’ll get what they wish for too so them getting their just desserts, which they will, is cold comfort.
This. The messages bombing the average voter from every angle are near total in staying true to The Narrative. A feistier people would instinctively sense something, but I think the Silent Majority may now be a minority.
Also, fifty years of educational indoctrination of the newer generations.
No and No, people weren’t as stupid then…..
Fuck no.
Fuck no.
Not on your fucking life.
Anything else?
I’d recommend they kiss my fucking white ass.
I would spend the time updating my resume instead.
Yeah, if we start going off the rails, I will definitely be making some phone calls about my options. My problem: where the hell could I go where I could (a) put my rather specialized skills and experience to good use and (b) not run into exactly the same thing.
Same thing runs through my head. I’ve been fairly open around here about some of the issues with wokeness, poison coworkers, and just generally not loving my current company, but between some kickass limited-time-only benefits and my specialized niche, I’m not confident that I could land something better.
I’m specialized to work for the tech companies. I know that moving to a Google or MS or Facebook would be a wash for me, at least for now.
I am watching our attempts to address all this with great trepidation. I see many opportunities for career-ending mis-steps. If we go that far, I doubt I will even ask outside counsel for an opinion on whether we are creating a hostile work environment. I get the feeling sometimes that I am in a trench with machine gun bullets whizzing overhead and kicking up dirt on the rampart – no fucking way am I sticking my head up.
I’m sure sacking top talent and ruining futures over innocent mistakes or respectful disagreement while terrorizing everyone else into silence will do great things for the economy and society at large.
I am fortunate in that Mrs. Suthenboy and I both are retired. Our income is secure. We are at the point now where we dont have to answer to or explain ourselves to anyone. It is easy for me to tell people to fuck off and I dont mind doing it one bit.
I do feel for others, like yourself, that are in a more delicate position. I would like to say there should be more pushback on the commie sacks of shit but I cant in good conscience ask someone else to stick their head up unless I do so first.
At some point, if things keep going like they are, I will poke my head up.
Yeah, this isn’t doing great things for my self-respect. I have duties to others, though, that take precedence over my duty to inform my bosses when I think they are making a mistake.
We’ll see how things go. I have a bad feeling, though, that my employer is about to do something pretty stupid.
” I have duties to others”
Do that, be honest and keep your chin up. That is what it means to be a man.
We have been chit-chatting back and forth for….10? 15 years? I am not sure. I have learned a lot from you and I have never gotten the impression that. you are anything but a solid guy.
I’m investing in killdozer futures.
Had a friend (another Marine) I went to business school with. We lost touch after graduation but he was headed to Arizona and was absolutely determined to work for a firearms manufacturer. Some of those outfits that started small (Seekins, Masterpiece Arms…) can’t start to handle the volume of orders they are getting right now.
Gawd I’m dreading going back my job.
Is it common to publish a recommended reading list in the corporate environment? I’ve never worked for a large company. I can think of only a recommended summer reading list in junior high or perhaps it was primary school.
Not common, but these are special times. And by special, I mean retarded.
I have never heard of such a thing. This is a new ratcheting.
In my experience, no. But I work for myself now and the recommended reading list to my employees is manuals and how not to piss off customers.
We “leaders” sometimes get reading assignments; safety stuff, six-sigma, 7 habits… etc. I can see this getting forced on us.
HR run amok.
Nah, this shit comes direct from VP suite because, “Leaders are readers.”
Me: “So today in Chapter 18, what did we learn?”
In that case, rest assured that the coming economic apocalypse will clear a lot of those space wasters out..
Heavy on VPs is always a sure sign of complacency and waste in a company.
legit LOL
Out of curiosity, what is your career field?
IT in Silicon Valley.
Figures. Lots of excess money right now that can underwrite that level of stupidity.
Sorry man.
Damn that fucking sucks donkey balls JR.
Sometimes I get down on myself. I have a college education and I ended up back doing a trade that I learned at 18. I figure I should have gone the career route rather than owning my little business. But then I read something like this and I thank the lord almighty that I don’t have to deal with shit like that. I’m a square peg that doesn’t round hole very easily. I have a small kingdom, but I am it’s king and can say “fuck off” to anything that rubs me the wrong way.
Stuff like this, where we have to make decisions that threaten our livelihoods and the well-being of those we care about, makes me appreciate even more what folks like Harriet Tubman decided to do and the courage of who decided to follow her and the North Star.
Perhaps you should read them and read the critiques by people like Sowell.
When they inquire in a meeting, offer up an understanding and a full throated criticism.
I’m certain others feel the same as you do and would appreciate it.
When you are inevitably challenged by HR, you read the material and understood it. Being forced to agree with it is beyond a reasonable expectation and defensible.
Indefensible… Dammit

That James Lindsay takedown of “white fragility” on twitter is something else.
The previous bits I’d read of it before were bad enough, but he goes through big sections of it. it’s very very bad – both quality wise and the Being A Woke Bible wise. It’s Mein Kampf level polemic, but written in jargon most people can’t understand. No one sensical should be giving it one penny.
The sooner BLM and Co turn on her for being white and a corporate shill and kill that book with fire, the better off we all are, I suspect.
Lindsay is great.
This one’s pretty good too.

Thanks
Wow. This country is fucked.
You could read an actual history of an actual white supremacist like Walter Plecker instead.
From Power of the Powerless by Havel.
I’ve referred to it before, but Current Year seems to be going way past that second part. There soon won’t even be a fig leaf of respectability to make surrender deniable.
That’s next on my real reading list.
I like that guy.
I am looking around and can’t find it….a photo of a girl’s soccer team all kneeling for the anthem except for one girl who stands. Is that what we are down to now? Nine cowards for every person with courage? I guess it was always that way but never so nakedly obvious in my lifetime.
I don’t think it’s all cowardice. There’s a shit ton of ignorance, willful and otherwise, that has taken hold over the last 50 years. There are entire swaths of the country that understand nothing but emotion as intellectual currency.

Members of Congress in both parties demanded answers on Monday about reported bounties paid by Russian operatives to Afghan insurgents for targeting American troops.
The stories appeared to have taken even the most senior lawmakers off guard, and they said they wanted briefings soon from the Defense Department and the intelligence community.
Why would the Russians need to do this if they own Trump?
The vehicle is almost certainly a Wave Glider made by U.S. company Liquid Robotics (now owned by Boeing BA ) , and the antennas suggest it is part of a U.S. Navy program known as Sensor Hosting Autonomous Remote Craft, or SHARC.
Come on, we know it’s ALIENZ!!!
“To get the employment-to-population ratio back to where it was at its peak in 2000 we need to create 30 million jobs,” said Torsten Slok, Deutsche Bank’s chief economist.
How about just ending the shutdowns?
“How about just ending the shutdowns?”
Uh…the whole point of the shutdown was to destroy the Trump economy. They are about to do it again.
If we shutdown again there’ll be no pulling out. Every business that somehow made it through the first one will fold along with every nonchain restaurant and bar. They’re going to put in a no shot depression.
We haven’t even felt the actual results of the first shutdown yet.
The ripples take time to filter thru the economy.
For example, right now is peak construction season but my billing is off by 40% as all those projects that were in development three months ago got postponed our cancelled because of economic uncertainty then.
Construction won’t even feel the brunt of the impact until August by my estimation.
Shut it down again and next winter will be a damned economic nightmare.
Yep.
The ripple effects have hit my company. Small layoffs plus paycuts for everyone left except for front-line salespeople. More ripples.
Oh you negative Nelly. The free pay raises for all the stay at home schlubs have been a boon to society. Do the Starbucks SJWs not make good use of their $600/week federal unemployment checks? Plenty of free time to
/loot/riotprotest.We’ll be done. I think of the bars and restaurants that purchased inventory after barely making it through, struggling to reopen, and now they’re being clamped down on again and all for no good reason. All that hard work and planning will be torpedoed by unnecessary political bullshit. As you say, other businesses and industries will be crushed too.
How many times has it been said around here “They will burn the world to be the king of ashes” ?
Now we know that is no exaggeration.
Holy shit. Listening to Joe Rogan and Jon Stewart. Rogan says “When I was a supporter of Bernie Sanders when he was running, I got pushback from people who said ‘so you want to give your hard earned money to the government and you think the government is going to solve this.’ My perspective was if you just look at it this way, if you could give 25% more money to taxes but the world would be 50% better, wouldn’t you want to invest in that?”
He can’t be that stupid, I hate how he feels like he has to kiss the ass of every guest on the show.
Too many shots to the head.
He is that stupid.
It’s indicative of someone who has had money come too easily to them and this they believe that creating wealth is an easy thing to do when it most assuredly is not.
He’s an intellectually curious stupid person. I occasionally enjoy his content but he often runs the show into the ditch. That sounds like one of those.
“wouldn’t you want to invest in that?”
I love how they always try to convince you that stealing is just a form of investment.
Plus they try to sell it as having an automatic payoff. The current version of the federal government would fuck up a wet dream and Bernie’s version would be even worse.
He has no clue what he is even talking about. I had a conversation with a prog a few days ago, and I rarely try, but I decided I’d give it another rare shot. Of course, it was the typical ‘healthcare is a right, free college is a right’ bullshit. And the response I got was typical.
I asked him if he thinks ‘free healthcare’ is worth 40-60% of his income and a 20% VAT tax on everything he buys. The reply ‘Well, no, I’m not going to pay that, I’ll pay a little more tax, it’s the billionaires that will pay 60% taxes’. I said ‘I’m sorry, that’s not how it works, you don’t get to decide how much you get to pay and if the billionaires all paid 100% in taxes, it won’t come close to paying for that. It has to come from the middle class’. Look up CA’s attempt at this and how they had to drop it when the people balked at the enormous tax increases required to fund it’.
That was the end of the conversation.

Someone should have knocked that punk out right there. It’s exactly what the little pussy needs.
Yep. That punk-ass punk is about the most punchable human I have ever seen.
On the other hand, the people that failed to rear him properly are the ones that need punching. He needs a year working on a farm.
He should have gotten a shot to the face at 15 seconds. Would love to see how absorbent the napkin on his face is.
Now if granny had decked him it would have been the greatest thing ever.
Here would have had to go kill himself from the shame of being beat up by an old lady.
“He needs a year working on a farm.”
For his daily gruel and a place to sleep in the barn. A good introduction for the communism he wants, will cure him of his white privilege.
Agreed, and he would learn some humility and first hand what ‘Every grain of rice equals ten drops of sweat’ means. Food is not made in a grocery store and wealth doesnt come out of a magic hat.
I just see a bunch of people cosplaying. From the “elderly” Lady to the idiot ginger… they all need a hobby. Needlepoint or building dioramas or sommat.
Yeah, all I see are a bunch of assholes yelling at one another.
That’s no way to describe the Glibs comment section!
It’s not?

Yes it is.
That’s the only way to describe the Glibs comment section.
Now that you put it like that I have to say I cant imagine what gets those people out in the street like that. I would stay home and rearrange my sock drawer before I would attend any kind of ‘protest’.
If it gets bad enough for me to leave home I am not brining a sign, I am bringing rope.
Counted cross stitch #FTW!
I married a 22 year old old-Lady that did cross-stich. ?
Just to be clear. I don’t mind whether your Mormon, Christian, Constitutional Conservative, Paleocon, Libertarian or America first positions. I don’t even care if you vote Trump. You guys and gals are good people to hang around. Ever try hanging out with only other Ancaps or Agorists? *Shudders*
