SEA SMITH “WHERE EVERYONE?” FRIDAY NIGHT ADVICE

by | Jun 5, 2020 | Advice | 359 comments

SEA SMITH COUNT STEPS!

SEA SMITH GO LOOK FOR COUSIN STEVE SMITH. HE NO FIND – FORGOT COUSIN STEVE GO LIVE HOBO LIFE FOR WHILE. NO SEE BIG STONE HEAD EITHER? THAT MEAN SEA SMITH HAVE GIVE ADVICE TO FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN LAND HOOMANS. IT GOOD ADVICE – BETTER THAN SILLY LAND ADVICE HOOMANS.

HERE IS GOODEST ADVICE!

Q: In these days of COVID-19, and forever hence, may I offer individuals with overt symptoms of sickness (coughing, sneezing, etc.) a spare face mask?

I’ve always been charmed by the ethos of some cultures in Asia, where individuals don them automatically. Over the years, I’ve stewed in silence, particularly trapped on airplanes, while an individual clearly continues to exhibit symptoms of sickness. I usually carry a mask or two for myself, but they are so much more effective in preventing the transmission of germs from the source, rather than shielding one from them.

One can never tell who might be immunocompromised from medical conditions or treatments. So, can I politely say, “I happen to have a spare mask. May I offer it to you?”

A: SEA SMITH SAY “OK, KAREN”. SO YOU NOW SNEEZE SNITCH? YOU KNOW THAT “SNITCHES GET SPEARGUNNED LIKE FISHES”…YOU GIVE AWAY MASK IN BIG SHOWY WAY IF WANT. NO BE SURPRISED IF OTHER HOOMAN TAKE OFFENSE AND THROW HOT COFFEE IN FACE AND SAY “ALL STERILE NOW!” SEA SMITH SUGGEST CRUISE INSTEAD OF AIR FLYING. CRUISE VERY SAFE FROM GERMS!

BUT NOT SAFE FROM SEA SMITH.

 

Q: My friend “Kate” has had a lot of trauma in her life, and she feels things very deeply. She has experienced assault, the suicide of a close friend, the death of several family members, discovered she can’t have children, and managed to escape an abusive relationship, all in the last five years or so.

Kate does all the things people are supposed to do when coping with grief and is doing very well. The problem is me. I find it hard to be around her because of all the drama. Intellectually, I understand none of this is Kate’s fault. She isn’t being attention-seeking or deliberately causing drama. But I find myself becoming impatient with her ongoing discussion of feelings. I’m not someone who feels deeply or is easily traumatized. Bad things happen, I get over it and move on. How can I learn to be the patient, caring friend she needs?

A: SEA SMITH THINK HER NEED REAL DRAMA – THAT KEEP OTHER STUFF ON BACK FISH BROILER. TELL FRIEND NEED CRUISE, RELAX. SEA SMITH JOIN CRUISE, AND GIVE FRIEND OTHER THING WORRY ABOUT. BY OTHER THING, MEAN RAPE. BY SEA SMITH.

 

Q: My mother had a beautiful parrot for over a decade until it died five years ago. Ever since then, I’ve gotten a monthly update about “Polly.” (Think: “It’s raining today. Polly always loved the rain,” or “Happy Halloween, missing Polly.”) I understand my mother’s sadness at losing her pet and try to be supportive without letting our entire conversations be about Polly. My father chooses to do “whatever your mother needs” to grieve, which means their house is basically a Polly shrine and discussion of getting another pet is forbidden.

My fiancé and I plan to get married next summer, and my mother has already insisted someone mention Polly during my wedding. Originally, she wanted Polly mentioned in the formal speeches and among the family pictures at the reception, Polly-themed dessert and favors. I put my foot down and said my wedding will not become a bird funeral six years after the fact. My father told her she needs to tone down the Polly demands and told me I should do one small thing (he suggested Polly’s photo incorporated into my mom’s mother-of-the bride corsage). My fiancé privately laughs about the whole thing and says we should just elope anyway. I’m leaning toward eloping just to avoid dealing with my mom’s bird grief on a day that’s supposed to be about the love I have found with my fiancé. What do you think?

A: SEA SMITH SURE THIS ONE REAL. IT TOO SILLY BE FAKE. SEA SMITH SUGGEST MEMORIZE THIS. MAKE FUNNY REMARK ABOUT DEAD PARROT. THAT CHEER UP CRAZY MOM! IF THAT NO WORK – GIVE NEW, NON-PARROT BIRD. SEA SMITH SUGGEST SEA GULL.

NO, CRAZY BIRD! NOT STEAL ICE CREAM.

MAYBE SEA GULL NOT GOOD AFTERALL.

JUST ELOPE.

    You have to wake up pretty early in the morning to be first before me.

    • Brochettaward

      Literally. I don’t do morning links.

    • straffinrun

      Only guy I know that wakes up early enough to beat the glory hole rush hour.

    she feels things very deeply

    Euphemism aside, what exactly does that mean?

    • Sean

      Drama queen.

    • Rebel Scum

      Deep feelings are inserted into her being.

      • Sean

        Like a hairbrush?

      • Rebel Scum

        If you are in to that. I believe there is an entire genre, not that I would know.

      • DrOtto

        FINGERBANG!

    • Ted S.

      Her G-spot is at the back of her uterus?

      • Lackadaisical

        hitting the cervix can be fun, don’t think hitting the back of the uterus would be.

      • DEG

        You can’t hit the back of the uterus. You can’t pass through the cervix into the uterus.

      • DenverJ

        Maybe you can’t.

      • Sean

        I mean…damn…* golf clap *

      • straffinrun

        Sure, if you go in the back door.

      • DEG

        Cervix facts

        2. So is cervix penetration possible?

        Nope, not at all. Your cervix can’t actually be penetrated. That’s because the opening of the cervix, known as the external os, is too narrow for a penis or dildo to enter. It’s usually no bigger than your thumb.

        So your penis is narrower than a thumb? SAD!

      • DenverJ

        You should see my thumbs.

      • DEG

        Let me find my magnifying glass.

    • Mustang

      She hasn’t yet learned how to overcome her initial, probably wrong, feelings.

      In other words…she’s a grown child.

  4. Gustave Lytton

    I’m kind of disappointed with SEA SMITH’s advice. Forget masks. The obvious answer is to rape the ever living shit out of those diseased monkeys running around with their sniffles. Fuck those unhygienic assholes who think germ theory is something made up by Big Pharma. Use a Kleenex. And close your mouth when you chew.

    • DenverJ

      If you’re sick and your nose is stuffed up, you have to have your mouth open to breathe. Even when you are eating.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Stop using logic and common sense all over my cromulent rant.

    @SenMikeLee

    Just heard that Mayor Bowser is kicking the Utah National Guard out of all DC hotels tomorrow. More than 1200 troops from 10 states are being evicted. This is unacceptable.

    The mayor can remove people from hotels? Some idiot in the thread cite 3A as if he knows what it means. I could be wrong but I assume the gov’t is paying for the rooms at the hotel and the nat’l guard members are staying there with consent.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Bitch set them up.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      It’s like they want their cities to burn.

      • Hyperion

        Why not? They get that sweet federal bailout and get rid of capitalism at the same time. And no one has to pay for it!

    • Lackadaisical

      that’s. .. very curious.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Dear God, they’re monsters.

      • straffinrun

        They are enforcing orders to essentially place everyone under house arrest for the night. Go after the looters and rioters, but this is collective punishment.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Oh, I agree and I really hate those damn stupid dancing cops/nurses/whatever videos. The narcissism sickens me.

      • straffinrun

        *Taps sarc detector* Sorry.

      • Fourscore

        I saw a movie many years ago about a jail where the prisoners sang and danced. They really rocked.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Mandatory fun day.

      • Rebel Scum

        Wow…

        New low in cop propaganda.

        Tiktok nurses could not be reached for comment.

    • Viking1865

      How can it be 3A? The hotel owners could kick the NG out, but not the mayor, under a 3A claim.

      • Jarflax

        You misunderstand. The mayor seized the motels because the 5th amendment is already deadletter so he can use the still vibrant 3rd to kick out the NG.

      • dbleagle

        Fucking Military Police. What commander thought that shit was a good idea?

    NFL
    @NFL

    We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black People. We, the NFL, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter. #InspireChange

    The NFL is systemically oppressing black people by paying them millions of dollars to play a game. Likewise for the NBA*, MLB, MLS…

    *While we are on the topic of racial disparity in sports…

    • Gustave Lytton

      They really are determined to destroy their fan base.

    • Hyperion

      “The NFL is systemically oppressing black people by paying them millions of dollars to play a game”

      Yes, they should stop that and let those negroes go back to the ghettos, where democrats can properly take care of them.

    • DenverJ

      The players’ union has just killed MLB, at least as far as there ever being highly paid MLB athletes ever again. Hell, they never recovered from the ’94-’95 strike.

      • Chafed

        I haven’t watched a game since.

    Maxine Waters✔
    @RepMaxineWaters

    Trump brought in the FBI, Homeland Security, Natl Guard, active duty military troops, & helicopters to use against our citizens & our young people protesting against the killing of unarmed people of color. He is amassing the power of a dictator. Stop him! Join the resistance!

    This is the least racist time in American history except for racist leftists that are trying to make America racist again.

        You’re right, that’s her. She likes to wear ridiculous hats that are three sizes too small too.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Wait a minute, I though he was killing grandma by not dictating hard enough? Which is it?

      • Lackadaisical

        both you fool, can’t you double think like a good subject?

    • Rhywun

      Where do he do that? I haven’t seen any evidence of it. I heard the NG was called by a couple governors but must have missed the rest.

      • Rebel Scum

        If he defers to the state/local governments (like he is supposed to because federalism) he is “weak”. If he rhetorically lambastes said state/local governments or takes any direct action he is a “tyrant”. Keep up!

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        He made the threat to spur the reticent governors to action it looks like and it mostly worked.

    • Homple

      Let the rioting, looting and arson continue until the locals beg for the restoration of order.

      • DenverJ

        They already are. Why do they need to ask?

      • Homple

        Because they need more time to think about what they’ve done over the years to let their city get in this bad shape.

    • kinnath

      Maxine is old enough to remember real racism.

      Or she is senile and can’t remember what she had for lunch either.

    Large crowd of health care workers just showed up to Union Square. The organizer tells me when so many have been clapping for them at 7pm due to Coronavirus, they want to clap for protestors at 7pm instead.

    These narrative pivots are giving me whiplash. Not a week or so ago protesters were being admonished by self-righteous healthcare workers.

    • Lackadaisical

      but systemic racism is super important unlike your freedom.

    • commodious spittoon

      What’s the term, demoralization? Except it’s no longer a Soviet plot. Our countrymen simply took the precepts and ran with it.

    SEA SMITH SURE THIS ONE REAL. IT TOO SILLY BE FAKE.

    My thought exactly. It was almost too stupid to make it to the end. Instead I wanted to smack some sense into that broad and tell her to listen to her fiancé.

    • Fourscore

      I wanted to smack some sense in the fiance’s head and tell him to run and run fast. That’s Crazy Town right there and it won’t stop with the Mom. Daughter has been exposed to that nonsense her whole life. Nurture or nature, doesn’t make a bit of difference.

      • Rhywun

        I’m a glass half-full type 🙂

  14. Rebel Scum

    I respect Candid Candace’s opinion and delivery. But I am probably biased because I have a huge crush on her.

    In an explosive 18-minute video posted on YouTube Thursday, conservative commentator Candace Owens explains why she does “not support George Floyd and the media depiction of him as a martyr for black America.”

    During her at-times impassioned video post (below), Owens, who is African-American, criticizes what she describes as the African-American community “cater[ing] to the bottom denominator of our society” by “demand[ing] support and justice for the people in our community that are up to no good.” The holding up of Floyd as a “martyr for black America,” she suggests, is an example of this trend that she forcefully rejects.

    In the video, Owens highlights Floyd’s criminal record, particularly a 2007 armed robbery of a woman’s home in Houston, for which Floyd was convicted in 2009 and served five years in prison. While the media has generally portrayed Floyd as having “started a new life” since his five-year stint in prison, Owens points to his alleged attempt to use a counterfeit bill, which prompted the ultimately fatal arrest, and two autopsies indicating he had drugs in his system as evidence suggesting he had not fully reformed.

    Owens repeatedly stresses that by highlighting Floyd’s criminal record she is not attempting to justify former Officer Derek Chauvin’s actions, which she thoroughly condemns; rather, she is arguing that Floyd should not be held up as some form of “martyr” or role model for the black community.

    • Trigger Hippie

      Maybe I just haven’t noticed but I really haven’t seen or heard anybody claiming that that guy was a role model.

      And not for nothing, shitting on a corpse isn’t a good look regardless the political persuasion.

      • Florida Man

        I agree. People have been saying even if he had murdered someone, once he is in custody, he gets his day in court. There are shit stirrers on all sides.

      • Brochettaward

        Early stories portrayed him as an upstanding father and husband.

      • Trigger Hippie

        Gotcha. Must of missed that. First thing I remember hearing about the guy was the counterfeit bill and a possible career in porn.

      • Count Potato

        I’ve seen the porn.

      • DenverJ

        I think “don’t talk ill of the dead” takes backseat when the decendt is being martyred and used as an excuse to push a blatently false lie. And I say this as someone with a long history of criticizing, even vilifying, the police.

      • Trigger Hippie

        I get that. But it’s not like the guy has a choice in the matter of being martyred for political points. By all means, let’s push back on the racism canard as much as possible but pointing out a dead man’s faults doesn’t exactly endear people who may be straddling the fence on the issue.

      • Rebel Scum

        TBF I’m trying to be straddled by Candace.

      • DenverJ

        Absolutely fair, and his own family has stated that he would be appalled at some of the things being done in his name.

      • Drake

        Shitting on his grave is bad, but he is already being elevated to sainthood by the victim brigade. He did brake into a pregnant woman’s house and rob her at gunpoint – but he did his time and didn’t deserve to be executed by cop. (Still something weird about what went down – feels like a setup)

      • Rebel Scum

        Further there is video of the initial arrest presented by the press and then they skip to the unhappy ending. What happened in between? Once restrained he should be kept safe and not killed because, when possible, government goons are supposed to capture alleged criminals in order for them to be charged and tried. But what happened in between could determine the difference between murder and manslaughter on the part of the offending officer(s).

    • Gustave Lytton

      Proof of systemic racism.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Looks like a spurious correlation, I don’t think I’d recommend investing based on high profile killings of black folks. Unless that’s a deep fake that’s really, really stupid.

      • Rebel Scum

        I don’t think I’d recommend investing based on high profile killings of black folks.

        I was going to do something with this but I think I’ll leave it alone. *discreetly shorts Target stock*

    • Rhywun

      I’m more impressed by the “More Tweets” section that’s just a list of what prominent Democrats are thinking about today.

      • Trigger Hippie

        Yep. I saw Dizzy Joe’s tweet: We can’t take four more years of this!

        The funny part is he thinks he just made a statement about the prospect of a McCain presidency continuing W’s domestic policy.

      SP, I submitted a request for an article. Please let me know if it didn’t make it through, the subject is somewhat time sensitive.

    • westernsloper

      Holy fuck. SP just stole my comment. My mother had a beautiful parrot for over a decade until it died five years ago

      Five years the annoying bird has been dead? Mom has issues. That shit runs in families. Run away from that family as far as you can go.

      • Fourscore

  17. gbob

    In the category of good folks still being out there in the world.

    I went to a local record store for the first time in months. I had weeded out my collection and had a few to sell. (Of course I always walk out buying five times as much as I buy) as he’s looking at my records he calls me over and handed me an extra record I had left tucked in the sleeve. I must have stashed it in there sometime back in 1988 or so.

    It was a mint copy of “Let Them Eat Jellybeans”, one of the earliest collections of punk music. Theres a version of Black Flag’s “police story” and a version of the Dead Kennedys “Nazi punks fuck off” that’s never been reissued…and never will because Jello Biafra is a bit of a cunt.

    It’s a rare record I had been nostalgic about for decades. Never pulled the trigger on paying big money for used copies.

    Rob, the guy who owns the store, knew the thing had value. He still handed it to me without a second thought. I never would have been the wiser.

    Sitting on the back deck, having some weed, whiskey and playing an album that was big in my little punk heart.

    • DEG

      He’s a good guy.

    • westernsloper

      That is cool! I know of the Dead Kennedys, heard them, but was never into the whole punk scene. What I haven’t heard is Jello Biafra. the Dead Kennedys songs are owned by the Nigerian son (assuming gender!) of Bill Cosby?

    • Rhywun

      Was it New World Records? Are they still around?

      • gbob

        No, sadly they closed. This was in Niagara Falls. It’s called “Music Matters”. Amazing place.

      • Rhywun

        What was the one on Elmwood just south of Forest? That place was awesome.

      • gbob

        Home of the Hits! I went to school a few blocks away, so I spent most of my days there.

      • Rhywun

        That’s it! I didn’t go to Buff State but my roommate at the time I lived on Grant and Forest did. Many trips to Home of the Hits. Why I lived near Buff State but attended UB is a long story.

      • gbob

        Oh, the guy who ran New World had a record label that was supposed to launch Buffalo based musicians.

        Sadly. Their biggest hit was “The Curly Shuffle”

    The parrot is an ex-parrot. I agree with the above run from the family. You’ll have to deal with the MIL when she needs to be instutionalized.

    • DenverJ

      She needs to be institutionalized before the wedding: this woman will absolutely pull some stunt to make the day all about her.

      • Fourscore

        You guys could use an office and a couch, you’re spot on with your diagnosis. You could be charging a lot of money to a lot a nutty people that spend their evenings in the street protesting something or another. You’d be a public service.

    • westernsloper

      I didn’t watch, but seriously, people are calling for “assault weapons” bans after numerous videos of people of all races protecting their property with “assault weapons” because the police explicitly told them they won’t be able to assist them with protecting their property because they are overwhelmed dealing with the rioters?

      • blackjack

        I have seen multiple clips of people reacting to the harassing “protesters” only for the protesters to say “call the cops”. You’d think they would wrap it up, call it a day, and go back to their normal daily lives after that.

    Today, on the commute home, there was strange police and emergency activity on Parker Rd, old Hwy… 83? Anyway, it was on the other side of the road, with several cars many yards from each other, and one site with civilians, cones, and police, but but no vehicle- I think it went down the embankment. Then, there it is: the pavement had buckled! Just crazy. That’s a shitty piece of road though, as are most of the roads in Parker, but I think that was in Englewood or something. Right past the on ramp from Arapahoe.

        In my estimation, 50% of stop signs seem to be there to appease busybodies. Of the rest, half of them seem to be there because local planners are idiots. My neighborhood is old enough to still have yield signs at some intersections and those are no more prone to accidents than the stop sign laden ones. In fact, one of the stop sign laden intersections is only a 2-way stop (out of 4 ways) but it’s the wrong 2 ways, as the other directions have better visibility. If you are going in the direction of the stop sign, after stopping you have to pull halfway into the intersection to see anything.

        Interesting read:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Monderman

        His design approach is the concept of “shared space”, an urban design approach that seeks to minimise demarcations between vehicle traffic and pedestrians, often by removing features such as curbs, road surface markings, traffic signs, and regulations. Monderman found that the traffic efficiency and safety improved when the street and surrounding public space was redesigned to encourage each person to negotiate their movement directly with others.[5]

    Why I’m Choosing to Ask a Black Stranger How to Be a Better Ally, Even Though Google is Free

    Don’t get me wrong, I acknowledge the place of economic privilege I’m coming from. It’s a huge deal to have access to a site like Google, when people all over the world and even in this very country don’t. And sure, I could probably draw a line between recognizing my privilege in this way and recognizing the amount of privilege it would take to blindly ask a Black person who has no idea who I am to take time out of their day to educate me when I am very capable of educating myself. But I don’t really feel like thinking that critically, and sometimes reading a lot is exhausting.

    What do leftists and other leftists have in common?

    Reports throughout the past year have revealed a campaign of unearthing the remains of Uyghur families, often destroying them while leveling entire cemeteries. Some cemeteries have been turned into parking lots, while reporters found others simply stripped of their tombs, with bones lying about unidentified. Cemeteries are key to Uyghur culture as families are buried in the same locations for centuries, creating a historical record.

    The cemetery destruction follows years of policies by the Chinese Communist Party to eradicate Uyghur culture and their religion, Islam, through banning Islamic practices like fasting for Ramadan, eradicating the Uyghur language from schools, and forcing between 1 to 3 million Uyghurs into concentration camps, where survivors say they endured indoctrination, torture, rape, and murder.

    RFA noted that the source for the latest plans to destroy a Uyghur cemetery — a cemetery in the Bulaqtagh district of Urumqi — was the Communist Party itself, whose members posted a bulletin in the neighborhood announcing that the cemetery would be destroyed and the remains buried there moved. It remains unclear where the Party will reinter the remains, if anywhere.

    The bulletin demanded that relatives of the dead in the cemetery register with the Party to ensure they would receive access to those remains once they were dug up. RFA confirmed the information on the bulletin with the “Urumqi Ethnic Affairs Office,” responsible for Uyghur cultural issues in the area.

    “The announcement was published by the Urumqi Municipal Government. We are registering the families with tombs,” a receptionist at the office told the media network, noting that remains had not yet been dug up.

    “However, when asked what the reason for the relocation was, she hung up the phone,” RFA reported.

      I received a free news paper called “The Epoch” here about 4 months ago. It was clearly anti chi-com. There was some good writing there.
