Happy Thursday. My kids survived the first swimming lesson of the season. Tomorrow I’ll use two bricks. They’ll either be very strong swimmers or water breathers in a couple of weeks. Kidding, kidding. Its amazing the difference between an almost 4 year old and an almost 5 year old in terms of coordination. My kids swim fine, but given the sheer number of places available for them to encounter water deeper than their head, we take it seriously. At eight, we start swimming them with small gators to keep it interesting.

Covid-19 viruses are small.
Almost microscopic.
Below Sea Level Hell Centro, almost ‘Almost microscopic’ as in actually what would be microscopic, except that ‘micro’ is probably triggering for ‘microaggression’ which is probably triggering for whatever the listener/reader finds to be aggressing.

Bald men at higher risk of severe COVID.
Yes, it’s bad for the elderly.

Do I remember correctly that someone here has a Traeger smoker? I’m looking into pellet grills and would love to hear opinions.
Also, rest assured that I have pre-fucked off.
ew
Nah, it helps the meat relax during the cooking process
Now I know what a bone-in steak really is!
Traegers are good but I hear a lot of good things about Rec-Tec too. I was checking out a Camp Chef one.
I’ve also heard good things about the rec-tec, but you pay a premium for them.
I bought a CharGriller Akorn Kamado grill this weekend at Lowe’s, and did smoked pork ribs and corn on the cob on it yesterday. The ribs were seasoned with worchestershire sauce and then thirds of Salt Lick Dry Rub, Montreal Steak Seasoning, and my proprietary house blend of Jamaican jerk seasoning from Belize mixed with garam masala and curry and Texas BBQ and other spices.
The Kamado is not technically a dedicated smoker, and uses metal construction rather than ceramic to keep the cost down, but I bought an accessory black ceramic bowl with holes slightly bigger than pellets, and filled it with blended hardwood pellets to generate great smoke. A learning curve on getting the heat around 225F to 250F without the fire going out. Had to light a second fire to restart, though the removable hole in the center of the grill makes that easy to do.
I’ve got the camp chef one, really like it. Only thing I wished it it had would be a built in WiFi wireless thermometer and an alarm if the flame goes out. Since some things take hours to cook, and it would be nice to be able to check on it anywhere. Of course, there are 3rd party thermometers, but haven’t found that is internet based which would allow me to be at the store/bar/etc and be able to monitor the cooking status. So far, I’ve only used Traeger’s mixed hardwood pellets that I get from our Costco and haven’t been disappointed.
We’ve sure come a long way from clubbing mastodons.
i got a Pit-Boss on sale at the end of the season a couple years ago and have nothing but good luck. I already had a wifi thermometer so I didn’t need the fancy features. I have probably used it 60 times over the past two years with no issues. They are great in general, set the temp and don’t worry. I think it doesn’t get quite as much smoke as a wood burning one, but its sooo much easier.
With the exception of smoking, every other COVID-19 risk factor points to zero concern for me.
I’m fat but at least I have all my hair.
The Bionic Woman originally aired 14 Jan 1976 – 13 May 1978. Reboot originally aired 26 Sep 2007 – 28 Nov. 2007. In both, fenmale protagonist had ‘bionic’ parts with superhuman ability.

Bionic breast with superhuman ability…

I had a buddy in college who was an amazing swimmer. He later went on to become a Navy Seal. We’d play waterpolo and this motherfucker could grab you and drag you to the bottom of the pool now matter how hard you tried to swim away. And not just me, but other buddies who were much bigger than I am and much better swimmers would be just as helpless. We used to joke that if he was just standing in a puddle he was stronger than anyone around.
Breed children like that, Brett. Alligators should fear them.
Aquaman confirmed.
And his career went swimmingly?
but died of a stroke ?
We had a family of kids in my home town that sent 3 boys and 2 girls to the state meet in swimming. The youngest son was a year younger than me and looked like a pear, but somehow he could swim like a mother fucker. Probably trying to keep up with his siblings at the lake all the time.
His two older brothers both had the classic swimmer’s body with 1% body fat. They were both life guards at the city beach and worth knowing because of all the women they could introduce you to.
I was never a physical specimen, even when I was on active duty, but I was always a pretty good swimmer. Swam rec league swim team for several years. One of my fondest memories was beating the pants off a kid I was friendly with (didn’t know him well but we had been on the same Little League team several times) who was a terrific athlete, all-metro in several sports in high school……but he didn’t know that you can’t outmuscle the water. Stroke technique is everything.
I was The Fat Kid growing up, but I could swim forever. I did a “swim laps for charity” fundraiser once. We swam for an hour, and this woman pledged 5 bucks a lap, and I did 38. She was not amused.

NYPD Chief of Police:
You’ve been reforming? Really? Because last I checked y’all weren’t doing anything and were pissed off that the cop that murdered Eric Garner was punished at all.
(I think the first one of these was the case of Sal Culosi, which was about 15 years ago now. Some of you may remember that case coming up on Reason and his widow occasionally posting in the comments. One of those cases I learned about from Balko. He was a small time bookie that got talked into doing bigger bets by an undercover cop until one hit the threshold where they could arrest him. They sent in the SWAT team to arrest the dude and accidentally shot him. The evidence proved that it would’ve been impossible to accidentally shoot him in the way the cop claimed, but nobody cared. And nobody ever discussed it (dude was white). Anyways, the cop involved got something like a week of unpaid vacation. The union was FURIOUS, because they claimed the only punishment for an “accidental” shooting like that should be a written reprimand)
Wasn’t Sal a dentist, too?
Optometrist.
Too bad he couldn’t see it coming.
I ground my teeth and held back making that joke.
Talk to a few cops over a few beers, and you’ll quickly figure out that they’re mostly not faking the persecution complex. They really believe that they’re being crushed under the weight of crippling over-regulation, that the bureaucracy is aligned against them, and that they are in constant mortal danger from criminal violence.
And they *love* to brag about when they got to use phyiscal force. Mostly. I knew one cop who was only a cop for a few years between industrial jobs and he left because he was at heart a gentle non-authoritarian.
So… they could create erogenous zones anywhere on the body then?
Can you imagine? I’d never get anything done.
I’m glad I read the Culture novels so I know that i’ll need to upgrade my cardiovascular system too.
Do you get anything done now?

FTA (H/T Brett L): ‘Researchers at Brigham Young University have recently carried out a study aimed at evaluating and comparing different methods for simultaneously controlling the stiffness and position of inflatable robots. Their paper, published in The International Journal of Robotics Research, introduces a model that represents stiffness as a state variable. This model could ultimately be used to control the stiffness and position of inflatable robots more efficiently.’
Baymax?

I suspect once they start licensing this to the sexbot industry, it will be a real earner for BYU.
RC Dean, Brigham Young University is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

So, the first statue to be officially removed in Richmond was the police memorial.
Who is the Byrd in Byrd park?
This guy?
Not this guy?
Huh….I always assumed it was named for Harry
Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.
Yeah, it’s the colonial era Byrd, but it will probably get renamed sooner because of public confusion with Harry F. Byrd, Sr, the author of “massive resistance.”
The Richmond Police Memorial statue was removed from its spot in Byrd Park. Images shared on social media showed work crews removing the statue Thursday morning.
As someone with no love for the police even I have to ask “Why?”.
The statue’s removal follows days of unrest, both in Richmond and nationwide, in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis. Four Minneapolis police officers have been charged in connection with Floyd’s death.
Oh, so the “peaceful protesters” are
rioting overpeacefully protesting what exactly?To protect it from vandalism, duh. Also as an ass-kiss to the RPD, and a fuck-you to the confederate heritage people.
FWIW, it’s in an out-of-the way place, unlike the confederate memorials on Monument Avenue.

And speaking of autonomous zone, the border guards (or whatever the fuck they are calling their armed goons) are apparently checking ID for anyone who enters. Now, who is it that issues ID?
Why are the outside authorities letting anyone enter?
Oh, right, Seattle.
Seattle city government is practicing “deescalation” techniques by letting them win whatever they want. It’s a bold move.
Cotton, let’s see if it pays off.
Can’t wait to see TSA/ICE check the passports of anyone leaving. It’s a foreign sovereignty now, don’cha know?
The irony of the CHAZ using armed border guards to check people’s IDs on entry is staggering.
Yeah, plus they’re trying to figure out how to let first responders in. Guess what, guys, you just signed up for the job.
Yep. You want to be an autonomous zone, then let’s treat you like an autonomous zone.

Phrasing.
Right now, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) is saying that Trump needs to admit that there is systematicly institutionalized racism in America. Systematicly institutionalized. What a hollow, meaningless phrase. Were it not, he’d cite an actual example. The phrase is just as meaningless as “social justice”.
Asking him to cite an example is systemic racism.
Let’s Stay Together, Rep. Green.
He needs to put a little love in his heart.
Because Love is a Beautiful Thing.
Love is a wonderful thing.
Take him to the river.
You know who else demand people admit to things?
Trump should take him up on it and admit that Affirmative Action and diversity quotas exist.

Affirmative action.

1. I’ll say i always did think it was an odd Name.
2. Should we just erase any reference to the US before the 13th Amendment? Should we call it “That Time that Must Not Me Mentioned?). Seems pretty disrespectful to ignore an entire part of history.
(Disrespectful to the slaves that suffered through it, by trying to make it so no one is comfortable talking about it).
I’ll say i always did think it was an odd Name.

The Clown Prince graciously and magnanimously deigns to lift cower-in-place
Gov. Chris Sununu is lifting the state’s stay-at-home order and allowing most businesses to reopen with restrictions by the end of the month, while still urging Granite Staters to wear masks and maintain social distancing during what he called New Hampshire’s new normal.
The governor said Thursday he’s implementing a safer-at-home advisory in place of the stay-at-home order. The lifting of the order removes the 10-person limit on social gatherings and ends the distinction between essential and nonessential businesses.
Later in the article:
He said he expects the state to face a second wave of COVID-19 in the fall, when respiratory illnesses tend to spread more easily.
Oh yeah. We’re going to do this again.
Here’s a quick report on a “rally” this morning which I attended:
ReopenNH had plans to hold a small rally at the entrance to the Whittemore Center on the UNH campus in Durham, NH this morning at 9 AM.
Today the NH State House of Representatives meets for the first time since cower-in-place started. They meet at the Whittemore Center as a temporary location so they can keep Leper Length. Their session starts at 10 AM.
Tuesday the NH State Senate meets. I think in the State House as the Senate is smaller and they can more easily keep Leper Length in the State House than the House of Representatives can.
I arrived late and without a sign. The only protestors I saw were a group of “Fight for 15” people.
I waited a bit. The Fight for 15 people left. I went to leave. I ran into a woman, whom I did not recognize, wearing one of the shirts for sale at the beach rally that I reported on earlier this week. She had a small ReopenNH sign.
She and I went and stood next to where the legislators drive into a parking lot for the Whittemore Center. It was getting on to 10 AM, so basically no one except the police and the folks checking temperatures for those entering the Whittemore Center saw us.
A woman I recognized from the beach rally came up. She said that candidates for office (she’s running for state representative, but I don’t know her name or where), received invitations to watch the session from the viewing gallery.
A clock tower bell rang for 10. The newly arrived woman left to enter the Center.
The other woman and I left.
I saw after I got home that the legislators considered a measure to move emergency powers to the legislature. It failed. So, the Clown Prince gets to continue doing whatever he wants.

The first person to say Giuliani gets kicked in the nards.
No love for Stop & Violate Your 4th Amendment Rights?
La Guardia was as progressive as it got at the time. He got the ball rolling on “public housing”, IIRC.
True. I always liked him because he was one of the few American politicians to see Hitler for what he was early in the game. Far back as 1937 he was saying there should be a special booth at the World’s Fair to take down “that brown shirted fanatic”, and unlike most American politicians, was working to take in Jewish refugees.

I love the people who say “I’m throwing away my books!”
Like… who cares? She already got your money.
Does she get royalties when they show her movies? Maybe they should stop showing her movies, so she stops making money off them. Well, she and all the actors… bwahahaha!
She had at one point had a net worth of a billion — with a b. Although she’s done an excellent job of giving hundreds of millions away.
I think that strategy may be a bit late
I’m sure she does, but who cares? The last movie in the series came out nearly a decade ago. There’s the Fantastic Beasts movies, but those are failing by themselves thanks to Johnny Depp. Plus she’s already a billionaire.
It’s just the leftist equivalent of people burning their Nike’s. They could even continue to purchase her books secondhand without giving her money but I suppose that didn’t occur to them.
Oh, imagine that – the delirious image of them burning her books.
But can they force themselves to forget all about the books and how they enjoyed them?
Throw away her books – contributing to the scarcity of those books, and driving some level of demand to newly printed books, thus channeling even more money into her pockets.
That’s called “bugger off £££”.

Remember that picture I posted a while back of the truck with the McCain/Romney/Johnson/Bloomberg bumper stickers and a hand-lettered Black Lives Matter flag? Vox interviewed him.
https://www.vox.com/2020/6/11/21283836/protests-libertarian-dc-interview-truck
He calls himself a libertarian. Not going to say I agree with everything this dude says (like, supporting nanny Bloomberg? Really?), I agree with this 100%
I think supporting Bloomy means he has to turn in his libertarian card permanently.
The copious number of bumper stickers points to he’s a nutcase.
He’s young, directionless, and thought libertarianism was about libertinism that appeals to youth. He’s more interested in getting cocktail invites in DC. See: most of the staffers hired by Reason before they went off the deep end.
Being a nutcase can’t be a disqualification for the party that considered nominating McAfee as it’s presidential candidate.
In fairness his sanity has degraded since back then when he was almost almost sane. The last four years haven’t been kind to him.
You probably get this if you’ve been paying attention to right-wing stuff, but every libertarian agrees on two things: that there’s only one libertarian and it’s
themhim.Solid setup, ruined his punchline. I loathe this they/them pronoun horseshit.
Well given that there are no female libertarians…
Where is all this right-wing stuff I keep hearing about? Is it with the secret Nazi’s that are hiding everywhere?
It looks like demoralization is complete and we are moving into the crisis stage. Scary stuff.
I think I will be leaving Nextdoor. It obviously serves no purpose.
Neighbors,
Let me say it unequivocally: Racism has no place on Nextdoor.
First, I want to express my outrage and sadness for those who have been hurt by the legacy of racism in the United States. I am heartbroken for those experiencing loss and grief right now.
Recent events have acutely exposed that some of the behavior we see on our platform is not at all in line with our values as a company. We’ve heard from many Black neighbors that they do not feel welcome and respected. For this, we are sorry. This, we must change.
Systemic racism in our nation will not be solved overnight. Neighborhoods, we believe, must be part of the solution. Nextdoor connects neighbors, creating dialogues with people you may not have otherwise known. These conversations can spark understanding — and drive change.
Nextdoor exists to foster these conversations in a civil, productive way. We are committed to building neighborhoods where everyone is empowered to participate. Our purpose at Nextdoor is to cultivate a kinder world where neighbors can rely on one another, where all feel welcome.
While we have been working for years to create this civil forum for discussions, it is time to expand our plan for improvements to our platform and our company. With our employees, neighbors, partners, and advisors, we are taking action.
We will better educate our neighbors on what is — and is not — allowed on our platform, drawing a firm line against racist behavior and removing comments and members who violate the rules. We will accelerate our plans to strengthen our community moderation. This will include improving the resources and support we provide to Neighborhood Leads who work to maintain civil and productive conversations on Nextdoor. We will also take deliberate steps to further increase diversity across our organization — and to make our team more reflective of the neighborhoods we want to serve.
This is important work, and there is much more to come. We are committed to plotting a clear path forward, where Nextdoor becomes a destination for vital conversations and trusted connections.
This change starts with sidewalk conversations and simple offers to help our neighbors in need. It will happen as we lean on each other through hurricanes and health crises, or when we come together at park cleanups and community cookouts. The important conversations start with these moments, at these intersections.
Only when we really see each other, will we begin to resolve our differences. Together, we will create a Nextdoor where everybody belongs.
This is only the beginning.
Don’t leave. You can supply the artwork.

Nextdoor’s only purpose is to enable a community Karens to get together and complain about people who don’t do things exactly they way they would.
Anti-social media FTW.
I was poking fun at a neighborhood Karen on the HOA Facebook group today.
So it can be entertaining when you don’t give a shit what they think about you.
When are we going to get a promise from Glibs to do better? *taps foot*
I, for one, aim to misbehave.
They kicked me off for calling the act of demanding armed men enforce the mask dictates “Fascism.” They are liars.
Most of what you see now are lies. The problem with shitlords like you is that you refuse to be a coward and repeat the lies.
Im smashed. I began drinking around noon when I was @ Kroger and saw they hat $0.99/cent double-deuce beers.
Jusgsy wants to watch a movie (they always do) and I gave her the option of ‘The Grifters’ or “buffalo ’66”
Discuss.

Club dread has a fun opening scene..
Buffalo ’66 is pretty good. Choose that one.
I drive luxury cars! They shift themselves!

It’s time we joined together with these very serious celebrities and Take Responsibility.
https://youtu.be/JjDebAl8Dgc
God do I hate the heartfelt statement flash from to person to person celebrity videos, and this one in pretentious black and white no less. Go fuck yourselves you bastards.
It’s so over the top it is utterly ridiculous. I had to laugh at it.
I will take responsibility for continuing to purchase the products these retards put out. I have no idea the political leanings of my dentist, my gardeners, pretty much anybody else I deal with. These people are repulsive and I should never allow them to earn another penny from me, again.
Screw that, I just saved up enough to buy the Breaking Bad boxed set from Amazon.
I take responsibility. No, wait. Scratch that. Reverse it. I do not take responsibility because I have done nothing wrong.
And what is this horseshit about jokes and stereotypes? Stereotypes are funny ffs. And if you don’t allow them you are going to put many minority comedians out of work.

Hahahahhahahahhahaahahahahaha
She is awfully arrogant for a loser. Kindof like how John Oliver is awfully smug for someone who is always wrong about everything. She is the John Oliver of arrogance.
Oh, hon….
Then again maybe she’s just fibbing so they can give us all a happy surprise.
She must be really off the long list. You’d think Biden’s people would call her in just for appearance sake, like NFL and MLB teams called in black assistant left footed place kicker or home plate coaches for interviews when they were looking for the next manager to rebuild their team.
Is this her attempt to pressure him into picking her?
She doesn’t look like a 1/64th Cherokee white woman to me, which is what they’ve already picked. She’s confused.
FML. Raining again. It’s never gonna dry out enough for them to install my cable. This is nuts.
I am moving into a new computer this weekend because my 8yo Asus is glitching in concerning ways. The new computer has Win10 on it. I’m skeert. Hold me.
It’s not that bad. I am able to switch easily between work (Win7) and home.
Well, I’m really just dreading the process of getting acclimated and everything Just. So. You know? The first thing I have to do is make it look like Win 3.x. ?
Maybe a high end 15″ CRT would help?
Upgrade the baud’s in your modem?
Both are on my shopping list.

MUST. HAVE.
If you don’t have one already, get a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply, not The Company of The Big Brown Truck of Joy). Costco sells APC ones that are perfectly cromulent.
Not the exact model I had, but close.
I get a weekly food delivery from “X”
I just got an email from “X” telling me they support BLM. In the email are links to organizations that want money to do something about the lack of black farmers, and another to do something about food apartheid on in the US.
Being that I can get off my ass and go to the store myself, I can and will do without this service.
Why do you hate the return of black sharecropping?
Are there community gardens in Antifaland? To encourage sociology majors to go back to the land? I saw some private chicken coop pictures from Baltimore, they looked like high security prisons.
I have garden fences myself, to keep the critters sort of out, although a gopher is testing me now. Are there toll gates in and out of a certain neighbor hood in Seattle? I can see that coming by the next freedom loving group.
“Are there community gardens in Antifaland? ”
They “planted” a vegetable garden in that “autonomous zone” but it just looks pathetic.
They need to find a way to force people to take up agriculture. Too bad history has never provided an example of just such a thing.
You are supposed to plant the gardens BEFORE you declare your little inner city enclave an independent nation. People seem to struggle with the idea that crops take time.
Like someone said in Twitter:
We’ll know it’s real communism when they starve to death.
They need more corpses for fertilizer.
You could write “X” back and tell them you don’t do business with Marxists and they shouldn’t either.
Pretty close. I sent this:
I am cancelling my subscription. I use your service because I enjoy getting food deliveries. I do not enjoy doing business with Marxists, nor do I enjoy being preached to.
Nice.

I don’t suppose anyone heard about Zoom suspending the accounts of some Chinese that held an online memorial for Tianamen last week?
https://www.axios.com/zoom-closes-chinese-user-account-tiananmen-square-f218fed1-69af-4bdd-aac4-7eaf67f34084.html
All Chinese owned companies ultimately answer to the CCP and mentioning Tianamen ist verboten.
No, the news is very preoccupied with the racism.
ie: we’re only allowed to be concerned about the human rights of black Americans. Chinese don’t count.
“Here is the employee chart for ActBlue Charities— the company that receives every dollar raised via the Black Lives Matter website.

Huh, actual journalism.
Election year fundraising.
I don’t really care to use his service, but I may sign up for a pro account just to support the company. Every email I get from them could be an article here.
How long until they are sued or legislated out of existence? 1 year?
Depends on the election.
If Dems control everything, they will go full time totalitarian.
I think they’ve made that clear.
I have asked the reasonable lefties I know how they can vote for Democrat these days. I’m talking about people who think the lockdowns and riots are stupid and aren’t about to bend any knees or join any diversity committees.
And it’s all about Trump. They hate him more than anything I’ve ever seen, and I remember the BushHitler years very well. I remember Reagan getting blamed for AIDS and crack.
But this is a whole other level of hate.
I don’t see how Trump can possibly win. They’ll just make it an all mail in election and have the NYT and CNN count the votes with the SPLC and ACLU overseeing things.
It’s incalculable how much they hate him. Equally, why they hate him. He hasn’t really been anywhere near outside the norm as Saint O was.
It may just be me, but I don’t have reread things that are critical of the cult of social justice. They usually make a clear point whether I agree with them or not. The pro cultist writing makes me reread it over and over until I just pretend like I understand what they’re saying.
?
It makes insecure people feel smart when they read confused/confusing stuff. That it’s all gobbledygook doesn’t really matter, as long as the words are big and the ideas are convoluted.
My white privilege is preventing me from understanding gobbledygook.
Coming from a lawyer, no less.
It’s like modern art.
If it matters to you he believes pornography isn’t covered by the 1st Amendment and that it should be outlawed. There are better platforms to support IMHO, Bitchute for example.
Does he pull (legal) porn down when it’s posted on Gab?
It’s not a hill I’m willing to die on, given that I align with him on the issue except for on the legal part of it. It would dampen my excitement for the rhetoric, though.
Im pretty sure yes but I’m not positive. This was a big blow up a year or two ago but I only heard about it secondhand via various talking heads on YouTube.

“A 28-year-old social democratic data scientist lost his job at @CivisAnalytics
for tweeting an article by a biracial Princeton African-American studies scholar suggesting that riopting is politically counterproductive
This is horrifying.”
https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1271081772428689409
“David Shor is a 28-year-old political data analyst and social democrat who worked for President Obama’s reelection campaign. On May 28, Shor tweeted out a short summary of a paper by Princeton professor Omar Wasow. The research compiled by Wasow analyzed public opinion in the 1960s, and found violent and nonviolent protest tactics had contradictory effects.
It is easy to see why a specialist in public opinion whose professional mission is to help elect Democrats while moving the party leftward would take an interest in this research. But in certain quarters of the left — though not among Democratic elected officials — criticizing violent protest tactics is considered improper on the grounds that it distracts from deeper underlying injustice, and shifts the blame from police and other malefactors onto their victims.
One universal fact of political life is that people tend not to enjoy highlighting faults committed by their own side, and often respond to others bringing up behavior they don’t want to defend outright by deflecting blame. Conservatives are united less by a zeal to affirm every one of Donald Trump’s actions than a reluctance to denounce them. Likewise, while few leftists go so far as to explicitly advocate violent or destructive acts, refraining from criticism of violent protests is, among parts of the far left, almost a social norm.”

How horrific! What kind of monster would make the snowflakes consider the possibility that they might be fallible? Is it time to start killing the left yet? Wake me up when that time comes.
Killing them? All you need is a harsh word to reduce them to quivering jelly barely only able to type 140 characters of twaddle. [This is why they react so intensely to Trump – he’s on their level.]
They are toddlers in adult bodies. Yes they will completely lose their minds the second anyone tells them they can’t have candy for dinner, but their tantrums turn into riots and the death of the US.
What did you expect?
Just look at what they did to Greenwald.

“A 28-year-old social democratic data scientist lost his job at @CivisAnalytics”
Well, the world cannot possibly survive when ‘essential’ workers like this lose their job. I’ts all over now.
I went shopping today to finish my list. I purposely did not buy any frozen pizza or candy. I hate myself.
Pineapple straight from the can, eh?
Naaaa, I was just pondering dinner while feeling extremely lazy. I am going with fish tacos since I don’t have a Totinos to chuck in the oven.
Hooker, it’s what’s for dinner?
Careful with the question mark. Sloper thinks that means you asked a question. :p
I just saw pineapple is now a White Claw favor. How many versions of sweaty gym sock water does one need?
After reading the discussion here about NYC-chauvinism I had a belated remembrance about a conversation I had with a European co-worker when I was on business in NYC. We were talking about big city life – contrasting NYC and Tokyo. He brought up the subject of New York summers during which the garbage is generally left to ferment in the streets. He told me the stench gets so bad his wife has been taking the kids back to her home country for the entire summer while they are out of school to get away from the smell.
His wife is from Manila –
Patience, man, Deblasio is bringing utopia, just a little bit more wokeness to go.
When was he last in NYC, 1977?
We were talking there in NYC were he was living at the time in 2018.
Any garbage “fermenting in the streets” means people are illegally dumping their garbage on the sidewalk earlier than they are supposed to, which is the night before pickup day. Generally doesn’t happen where I am.
Don’t get me wrong, being in Manhattan on a hot, humid day sucks, but it’s no dirtier than any other big US city.
I was walking down a street drenched in sweat after delivering a box to a UPS store. I was soaked. I’m a sweater. I passed some crazy asshole shouting some crazy asshole shit. A tourist lady asked, “Is he shouting at you??”
That was my experience in NYC. I got super sweaty delivering my friend’s belongings into the care of UPS, and some lady thought I was personally being shouted at by one of your crazy dudes.
Fuck NYC. Fuck your buildings, fuck your humidity, fuck your crazy people, fuck your tourists. My most pleasant memory there was the plane ride home, because I was leaving your shitty, horrible rathole warren. I was like Arthur when he gets bit by the swamp rat thing when he’s trying to find Earth, and realized that sad, pathetic existence isn’t it. Fuck New York City.
I don’t know what part of the city he was living in – he was the head chef for a well known 5 star hotel on 5th avenue so I suppose he was making enough to live somewhere in an OK (maybe not the best but OK) part of the city. Maybe there was some kind of strike going on regularly but it made an impression as I have usually only personally experienced that kind of “garbage in the streets” in bona fide 3rd world countries.
Doesn’t really matter to me what it is like in Manhattan if it smells like New Delhi where I live.
I’ll personally attest to bullshit on this one – fake news.
