Hey guys, how’s tricks? Didja miss me? I’ve been busy trying to figure out how to navigate an entirely new organization. And I have to say, its just SSDD on things like access and giving people tools to do their jobs. At least everybody at the new client is polite about telling me honestly that most of their cloud policies are more aspirational than actual at this point, and encouraging feedback. That will last until the first time I actually give critical feedback, so I’m saving my one shot for something special.
Which one of you was this? I would never. In a million years. Fight my way INTO a Walmart. Out, yes.
I’m not a fan of the cops, but even I don’t think its fair to blame them for this moron. Jailers are their own special breed of “too dumb to let off premises”
This is some crazy stuff right here. Have we covered Wirecard? Dude just forged $2B in false transactions, I guess to raise money? Not sure what the end game was there.

I have all the characteristics of a human being: flesh, blood, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for a desire to be first. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don’t know why. My nightly firsting has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

There’s no mask mandate by the state. Walmart doesn’t mandate it either, though maybe individual stores or regions do.
The article said the county mandated masks.
Oh look at big shot DEG here reading the articles.
The what now
At least the initial article says the epicenter was away from Mexico City and other crowded areas, by a bit.
That seems like nothing short of a miracle.
Unless the guy just didn’t bother actually looking for signs of injuries or damage.
The epicenter was in the ocean, right? That will ‘absorb’ a lot of the energy.
In any case, good – as you said. IIRC, MX City has some 20MM people, and occasionally dicey architectural standards.
Not to mention that Mexico City is built on the site of a former lake, making it rather not the firmest ground on which to build.
It should be a little more stable now that they filled in the lake with all those torn down ruins and probably a million metric tons of whatever else by now.
Fill is fill, and only becomes bedrock in geologic time. One reason San Francisco gets torn up by earthquakes is because part of it is built on fill, as well.
And fill that is not properly compacted is one of the least stable soils there is.

Saw a tweet from Ben Shapiro about Mount Rushmore being next on the cancellation list and it got me to thinking, how long will it really last? Two slave owners, two other presidents who are also having statues toppled, all carved into a mountain the Native Americans considered holy (I think). For real, will it be gone in my lifetime?
I can only hope a large number of Antifa die trying it.

But i look at the data and we have consistently had the lowest cumulative mortality rate, we have some of the lowest total deaths due to covid, and we have not seen an uptick in hospitalizations. The only thing we have had a spike in is in the number of positive test cases.
That’s pretty much how it is here. It’s interesting listening to people I still beating the this will kill millions* drum when the real world says otherwise.

White House Defends Trump’s Use Of Racist Term To Describe Coronavirus
***
Trump’s racist description of the virus marks the most recent in a years-long history of offensive terminology aimed at racial minorities.
As president, Trump has previously referred to African nations as “s***hole countries,” defended white supremacists and referred to immigrants from Mexico as “rapists” and criminals.
Still, the president has denied harboring any racist motives, describing himself last year as “the least racist person anywhere in the world.”
Last week, social media posts by Trump’s campaign were flagged and removed by Twitter and Facebook for using racist language and images.

Why, I have half a mind to cancel my NPR subscription.
In other news, I did many lunges with dumbbells yesterday and now it hurts to walk or go up stairs. Hopefully the lunges will improve my running.
You know what helps improve your running?
…Running.
Yeah, but I thought there were other ways. Aren’t jumps supposed to be good for sprinting? Or at the very least, lower body strength training can reduce the chance of injury, so I read.
Sure, that will help. Big, compound lifts are always the answer.
When I was a runner though, increasing my flexibility is what gave me the biggest increases in speed. That and less weight.
They called it racist, without any evidence.
“Trump has previously referred to African nations as “s***hole countries”
I can’t see where he’s wrong to that point. The rest of it appears as NPR obfuscating or embellishing the truth. Imagine that.

And even the shithole comment was hearsay. He never defended white supremacists. His reference to Mexican immigrants was “some”, not all.
Who exactly directs NPR, wouldn’t they be under the Executive branch? Worst authoritarian ever to let his employees keep badmouthing him with lies, andthen calling him a liar.
It’s racist because they say it is. It should be banned like hate speech.
Twitter hides Trump tweet for threatening potential protesters
https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/2020/06/23/twitter-hides-trump-tweet-threatening-potential-protesters/3245120001/
“There will never be an Autonomous Zone’ in Washington, D.C., as long as I’m your President,” Trump tweeted, referring to an area in Seattle occupied by protesters where police are not operating. “If they try they will be met with serious force!”
Heh. I like the ‘potential’ protesters headline. What a clown show.

At least they have the long term success of CHOP to use as supportive evidence of why there should be autonomous zones. The NYT will take it from here.
Before I clicked that Walmart link I thought it might have been about my local Walmart. We were shopping this weekend, and as we left a very large black man and a very large white man got into a heated shouting match near the entrance. Something about racism. Thankfully we were leaving, I’d be pretty nervous if I were in the store with those two carrying on.
Brett, I am sincerely happy for you. May you never regret unshackling from an employer.
Having a telemeeting with my group re: returning to work. Someone actually asked if the HVAC spread the ‘vid.
Having said that, some technical stuff for the HVAC junkies out there:
From 06:00 to 18:00, 5 air changes/hour
From 18:00 to 06:00, all fresh air purge, no recirc.
Also, there are some people being really whiny coming back to work. That or they’re far dumber/panickier than the seem IRL.
Ages ago, when I was new in the environmental business, we were testing a thermal oxidizer. The plant people were trying to do some air balancing, and i was in our trailer, waiting. One of the guys came and mentioned make-up air. When he left, I asked my boss what that was. He said, “Oh, that’s what they blow into women’s restrooms”.
I still think of that.
I wonder exactly how much more electricity we’re using without recirc. The main ballroom is 13.5MM cubic feet.
Fans are Cheap, and they use Economizers anyway, so same routine as before, it saves a lot of money,

“Oh yeah, and all the weapons will be in the head so it will only be able to shoot at things directly in front of it.”

Surplus Beretta 76s available. Was considering buying one for RFPI Steel Challenge, but don’t feel like buying $200 worth of extra magazines. It is a pretty gun though.
Well, my pondering about a combat shotgun has gone from:
Benelli M4: gas operated action, stupidly hard to find and eye-poppingly expensive on Gunbroker – no, I am not paying $3,000 for a shotgun. So, that’s out.
Benelli M2: inertia action, hard to find and rather pricey on Gunbroker – I just might be willing to pay $1,800 for a NIB version with the extended mag, but dang.
Beretta 1301: gas operated action, hanging on the wall at my local (or at least it was a couple hours ago), and well-priced – $1150, but I’ll have to get the extended mag, so add another $150. I like the feel in my hands, too – solid and quite maneuverable.
Turns out Beretta owns Benelli, which I did not know.
Benelli M4: gas operated action, stupidly hard to find and eye-poppingly expensive on Gunbroker – no, I am not paying $3,000 for a shotgun. So, that’s out.
Wow. I got mine at an auction for $1350 or so. Total price including auction fees.
I still haven’t shot it. I will hang my head in shame.
Supply and demand, bro. Demand is apparently sky-high for the combat shotgun used by the Marines, for some reason.
That seems a ballparky price for an NIB M4; you might get a used one for a little less.
You wouldn’t be willing to sell yours for a modest markup on what you paid, I don’t suppose?

This morning’s discussion of what a dickhead Roger Waters was reminded me of the song Lost for Words, a Pink Floyd song written years after he left the band. Was basically a giant middle finger to him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV7cWhmoG9w
I like it. Roger Waters is a total dick.
He put on a good show though.
These lyrics are just more evidence that, no matter what an asshole Waters is, Pink Floyd sucks without him.

I’m wiser now.
Booooooooooooooooooooo
Whatever. Animals is still an all time favorite.
The Wall is…..well, it has two decent tracks on it. Animals, Wish You Were Here, and Dark Side of the Moon are masterpieces.
Not even Dark Side of the Moon, while stoned, while sitting between blasting Bose speakers?

I had “The Wall”. I tried. I hated it. I got rid of that album.
“Dark Side of the Moon” on the other hand is great.

As much as I dislike AOC, I’m skeptical that she actually posted that.

She’s an idiot, but I doubt that she’s stupid enough to put it on her own Twitter feed.
$50 on a fake.
She doesn’t talk like that and for all the sperging here and elsewhere, she’s about no more “stupid” than Trump is. She made Pelosi dance to her tune, she knows how to make the right screech and whine and she never, ever apologizes or engages in “muh factz and reeson” discussions.

Mr. Mojeaux said the local sports DJs aren’t buying it.

There was some credulousness when this nonsense first began but we are quick learners. C’mon….poop swastikas? Who hangs nooses? No one, that’s who. Robed KKK democrats walking around in broad daylight? The only people thinking race race race their every waking moment are the progs stirring this shit up. No one else gives a damn.
It is getting pretty tiresome. You are safe just calling bullshit right off of the bat every time you hear about something like this.
I’ve mentioned this before but it bears repeating. The white power/ethnic determinism for white folk movement in the US really petered out in the early 1990s. And that was after being being, largely, combat ineffective for 30 some years. The KKK has been nothing but FedGov informants and agents trying to trick imbeciles into committing crimes since the 1970s. Apart from The Order knocking off armored cars, the murder of Denver radio DJ Alan Berg, and the band Day Of The Sword robbing banks, the most recent thing I can think of is retired Klansman and area asshole Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. (notable for his appearance in the film Blood In The Face) shooting up a Jewish community center in Kansas in 2014.
I was in the Dallas punk scene in the late 90s…by then boneheads were incredibly rare and getting rarer. And people talk about them now more than they ever did then.
So it wasn’t a noose. A noose is a very specific knot that is hard to mistake for anything else. It was a rope with a loop at the end. That is something completely different with many uses and, oh, you know, like 0 racial connotation to it.
Knots are hereby cancelled for being demotivational.
When I left a comment a few hours ago in a local newspaper that it wasn’t a noose, somebody replied
“Why are you so focused on the details and not the big picture?”
‘That’s not a building, it’s a rock’
‘But it’s on the other side of the Moon, why are you focusing on details!’.
“OK. The big picture is there was no racist “hate crime” against Bubba Wallace. Happy now?”
It seems like the big picture is that those people screaming racism WANT racist acts to occur so they can keep screaming racism.
Validation is a hell of a drug
*conversation started*
“The big picture is that the left is gaslighting the whole country in their pursuit to undermine basic human truths like reason, logic, and evidence.”
Actually, the big picture is that a bunch of grown-ups looked at a loop tied in a rope and called it a noose and a hate crime.
There is zero chance that an adult male who works in a garage does not know what a noose looks like. This is not an accident. It is a combination of willful deceit and fear. The initial person or persons who claim they saw a noose were full of crap and they knew it. Everyone else played along because they were too afraid to say anything different.
I refuse to believe that you could find three adults who could look at a loop tide in a garage and door pull rope and not know the difference between that and a noose. It is utterly impossible.
And the fact that the statement from the NASCAR officials and all of the Articles still call it the Rope fashioned into a noose just underlines how much deceit this is.
Unless someone actually tied a noose knot in the end of a rope, everyone involved in this is full of crap and needs to be called out.
And you know what? We did not see a picture of a rope tied in a noose. That tells me there is no rope tied in a noose.
We did not see a picture of a rope tied in a noose.
That was the big tell, to me. If there was an actual, no-kidding, hangman’s noose hanging in the garage, a pic of it would have been blasted out, because this was about OUTRAGE, and nothing stokes OUTRAGE like pictures.
I’m pretty fucking pissed at NASCAR right now for gaslighting its fans and tacitly accusing them of being a bunch of racists. You are absolutely right there is no way this was reported by anyone in the garage or NASCAR as a noose in good faith.
And I have to wonder if Bubba wasn’t in on it. The whole outbreak of “anti-racism” in this country has elevated the shit out of his profile, and I can’t believe he minds.
The whole field pushed his car in solidarity and he didn’t stop it to say “are we sure it was a noose fellas?”
He was in on it, and you would have a hard time convincing me otherwise.
The claim that he never saw it is at least very… convenient. Especially for a guy that just this morning was blasting people for disbelieving it was real.
Yeah, after he reported to work and was told that they found a noose but removed it before he got there, I really cannot believe that nobody pointed at the piece of rope hanging from the garage door and said that’s where it was right there on that rope right there.
And at that moment no one has an excuse. All you have to do is look at it and go hey that looks like the rope that you use to pull the door down. And then all you have to do is look at all the other doors that all have loops tide in their ropes.
Feelings not facts are what is most important.
Just saw Bubba Wallace on TV. He’s dumber than a rock and NASCAR made him their poster boy. That should poison ticket sales for a long time.

Every time I drive through Gilroy, CA I think having a garlic ranch would be pretty nice.

FUN FACT – When I was a young, desirable soldier stationed at Ord, I dated a young lady from Monterey who won the title of Gilroy Garlic Queen at the festival. The Salinas Valley and surrounding area has a lot of charm.
Do you live near Gilroy? Cause that how you get Garlic in everything,
My wife’s recipe for ranch is very high in garlic. Its’s also delicious.
2C Mayo
1C Sour Cream
1/2 tsp dill
2 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp chopped garlic
2 tsp dried onion or 1tsp powder
1 tbsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste. I go with 1-2 tsp of both.
It works well as a veg dip.
Mine was also 2:1 mayo:sour cream
tastes like more sour cream would be better.
garlic is way overpowering the dill, chives, parsely…
More sour cream is always better.

News you will absolutely positively not be seeing mentioned in almost any mainstream media this week. Looks like Sunday had a 90% reduction in COVID deaths from a couple months back. 70% reduction if you go weekly death stats.
https://outkick.com/media-ignores-90-coronavirus-death-collapse-in-country/
It’s magic – stop dumping elderly WuFlu patients on nursing homes and the death rate plummets. Who knew, right Andy?
I’m still holding out hope that as time goes by they will have a much harder time justifying the shutdowns. Of course the media is doing its part to keep the Fear going, but more and more people have to be seeing through the bullshit.
This is fine by me. I WANT the general population to conclude that the government is full of shitheads and it’s perfectly OK to disregard what the government tells them to do.
I wouldn’t count on it. The Gaslight Machine has moved on to “More confirmed cases’ and “Younger people are getting it now”.
Not mentioned, of course, is that the death rate is on a steady downward trend.
I did find out today that something like 80% of our ICU patients are transferred from out of town. That hasn’t stopped people from claiming that obviously the governor reopened the state too soon, even though the new patients in Tucson are from areas (including Mexico) that are just now getting their first (and, I predict, only) wave.
I think there will only be one wave. What bothers me is AZ should be topping out soon, and they will claim it was the mask mandates that made the cases drop.
So next time there’s something out there we’ll get to do it again.
#ItsOkToBeRacist is trending on twitter… and i don’t understand why.
Because Twitter is retarded
Twitter is a sewer.
On the list for this week:

My lemon sauce is closer to Chinese than that one….I add brown sugar and a touch of soy sauce and black pepper.
Chicken Piccata without capers??? Heresy!
Capers. *spits*
Deep fried chicken with bread crumb crust (crushed pork rinds if you are in to low carb) with a lemon sauce over (I haven’t decided yet) rice or spaghetti. Side salad and a soufflé desert if I can sneak that in.
Women say it is the little things…but it is the big ones too. How many husbands cook like that 2 or 3 times per week?
A very good point, hubby cooking dinner is a big deal. To be fair if I were served that dish I wouldn’t ask what happened to the capers. But I’m far more polite in meatspace.
I pretty much cook for Jugsy anytime she asks. Its not a huge deal

I am not going to listen to her talk about herself for 18 minutes. Fuck….
Right? If I’m not fucking her, I’m not going to listen to some chick go on and on about whatever pointless bullshit is staggering through her head.
It doesn’t seem like pointless bullshit.
So, when is that fucking Lenin statue in Seattle going to be removed? When is Marx’s grave in England going to be defaced?
There’s a statue of genocide enthusiast George Bernard Shaw in Niagara Falls
Look, Lenin only killed 30 million Georgians. That is nothing compared to discovering the new world or writing the Declaration of Independence. Those are war crimes and hate crimes of global proportion.
Dude! But why?

The themes Aquinas wrote on in De Regno have been rattling around in my head as of late. What form of government sucks the least? They all suck.
I’m just going to say it – some of ya’ll are way too into guns. You. Yea, I’m talking to you. You have a problem. Someone needs to stage an intervention with banners and shit.
Knives on the other hand? You can never have too many knives.
These guys do some pretty wicked blades.

I picked this little guy, I like it,
https://www.bladehq.com/item–Cold-Steel-SRK-Search-Rescue-Fixed–52053
I actually have that one. Bought it years ago. It’s pretty nice. Came razor sharp..
Yeah, I’ve browsed there. I have a few really nice knives and a bunch of cheap ones lying around.
My collection was Stolen, along with my guns and Naval Cutlass, more sentimental than monetary,
Sorry.
It’s the black thing that goes up that freaks you out, isn’t it?
I’m gonna say it, You are way too obsessed with being first, there, I said it, now go get your meds before the Counselors find you…..
One cannot be too much into guns. Someone has a problem alright, but it isn’t me.
Yeah, we know:) I warn everyone who talks about buying their first gun. It’s like crack. There is always some cool new gun you have to have. There is always some cool vintage gun you have to have. I’ve been pretty good lately. I am getting a nice new scope this summer for my birthday though.
I’m so glad my addiction is cheape, 15 bucks a disc, I currently own 32, and gave away probably 20 more,
Like Guns, everybody needs a disc or 30….
Yeah, I need to get out and play some frisbee golf this summer. It’s fun.
We aren’t allowed to call it Frisbee, it’s Disc Golf, ask the POS at Whammo, quite stupid, but I don’t make Law,
Ah, did not know that. I only have a couple disc I keep in my trunk. I couldn’t tell you what kind they are:) lol. I think I bookmarked your article on disc types. I need to read that again.
I had one disc warp from leaving it in my car, keep them flat in the vehicle,
and you can get Innova discs at Walmart, seems strange, but a good selection and competitive
Where are you? I could use a roadtrip…
Columbus. At least they’re still calling it that for now.
I might be up that way next month, we are thinking road tripping to the UP and golf/hang with friends all the way up,
Yeah, let me know. I’d be up for a game or two and some tall cans!
Troll harder.

That’s nice.
“Gavin McInnes, the Canadian-British comedian and founder of Censored.TV, The Proud Boys, and Vice Magazine, has been kicked off of YouTube following “severe violations of [YouTube’s] Community Guidelines.”
According to the video streaming giant, McInnes had posted content on YouTube “glorifying or inciting violence against another person or group of people.” McInnes is now banned from “accessing, possessing, or creating any other YouTube accounts.”
A screenshot of the banning notification was posted to McInnes’ Telegram account, as he has already been banned from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.”
https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-gavin-mcinnes-banned-from-youtube
I wonder if that is going to include guest appearances on other channels.
Since Britain owned (or owns- went over this in a zoom meeting and Im still not clear) Canada, is calling him Canadian-British like White-Hispanic ?
Was asleep when my meat appeared. Woke to find: the noose was BS and CarpeDonktum got booted from twitter. Assholes all around.
“Was asleep when my meat appeared.”
So no more phrasing?
Morning Glory still blooms at half a century.
Notwithstanding the truthiness of the deputy’s claim (I suspect the ratio of good/justified shoots to Duncan Lemp/Breonna Taylor/Daniel Shaver clusterfucks is pretty good), I’m not spotting the alleged racism here. Am I being obtuse, or is this just some activist crying wolf?
Black chick calling out Antifa and BLM. And the Freemasons?

I need spud to weigh in, but that doesnt look like akshual blood.
#ChangeMyMind
Noose Theory – Part 2 OBE – I am thinking I hit it on the head that because the NASCAR base didn’t riot when they banned the flag and images of the Confederacy, that this was drummed up to create that controversy on purpose. What a damn shame about his garage being either purposefully obtuse or outright evil. To add it, I think it was in hopes that the fan base would intentionally BRING those flags and imagery in response to all this so they can point back and say “SEE! They are racist!”
This theory seems to align with what I saw on ESPN.
Given that Bubba Smollet didn’t even see the noose in question, I’m guessing that he took the word of someone he trusted, and the other drivers fell in line. None of them wanted to be the dick who says, “Hold on, show me the noose.” The problem is with the person who first reported it.
Its just sad really. I mean, are you trying to burn all the possible bridges of building some support? 99.99% of the country watch in horror as a psychopath cop killed a dude and we were all ready to rise up against that….then they start burning and tearing down everything. Almost like they are thinking they have 100% support at this point so why not pile on?
Or maybe it is heightened awareness and emotions that lead to it? Who knows but it just alienates the “cause” more and more
BLM is a Marxist organization that couldn’t care less about black lives, racial harmony, or police brutality. They are fellow travelers with Antifa, and their ultimate goal is to stir up enough shit and chaos that they can create a vacuum into which they can step and create a Marxist society. If this sounds paranoid, take a look at their website and then just do some quick research on the founders. So, shit like this is a win-win for them; either the noose story is accepted at face value and they propel the narrative, or this happens and all of the accused racists start get pissed off about it. Either way, the tension ratchets up and people separate further into warring tribes.
Yeah, the identity politics bullies on college campuses commandeered the BLM movement as soon as it began. It’s now just a militant Marxist wing of the DNC, completely devoid of it’s original purpose. As is Antifa who also got it’s start in college humanities departments.
“I’m guessing that he took the word of someone he trusted”
His PR guy?
The problem is with the person who first reported it.
And the team and NASCAR for playing along. Both of them should absolutely have said “Holy crap, you found a noose? Let’s see it.” Its reflexive. If they did and went ahead with the gaslighting they are scum. If they never followed up at all on it, and went ahead, as they did, as if it was confirmed, they are morons at best.
How hard would it be to fake one of these “hate crimes”? And yet they get busted every time it seems.
Mask orders are already arbitrary but really?

Nice dancing there NASCAR…pussies
Fuck her. Posturing and signalling in response to bullshit are never a positive.
And no, I don’t believe it was a rope “fashioned as a noose”. It was a rope with a loop tied in the end of it. That is not a noose. A noose is a slipknot, and nobody would tie a slipknot at the end of a rope as a handhold.
If some bored garage monkey had actually tied it as a hangman’s noose instead of just a loop as a joke, that would be understandable, but then we would have been blasted with pictures of it.
Fuck her, fuck NASCAR, fuck the useful idiots and cowards who kneeled or marched behind this guy, and fuck anyone who doesn’t stand up against this shit. This is the time for moral adults to take a stand. I swear, if I were a foreign intelligence organization trying to weaken the United States by conducting a lengthy series of operations to erode the social, moral, and political structures of the country in preparation for a soft coup, it would look like this. I am absolutely revolted by the corporate media and the people in the entertainment and political industries (intentional word choice) who are complicit in this.
Don’t hold back, Bill. Tell us how you really feel.
Have I mentioned how much this upsets me? I’m not sure I’ve been as open as I could be about this.
NASCAR mechanics are awesome, but it’s doubtful many know hot to to a Bowline, much less a Slipknot, it’s not relevant at all,
I call BullShit
I’m guessing the one big thing for me is I learned nobody at NASCAR knows knots anymore. What the various types look like or how to tie them, let alone what they are good for. I’m far from an outdoors man and even I know what a noose looks like.
Yeah, sure, let’s all lie like a mother fucker, that’s going to bring us all closer together. This is the sort of fucked up shit that passes for a legitimate argument these days.
If we pretended that Aliens were invading, we could get economic stimulus AND harmony as we all came together for a common cause.
Why do you hate peace and prosperity Hyperion?
Yes, the reaction has been all “tolerance and unity”. ?
Idiot.
So, it turns out Jussie Smollet’s got a cousin in NASCAR! Ain’t that some shit?
Seriously, I knew this was bullshit from the drop. Dude either genuinely believes there are racists hiding under his bed and ought to apologize for making some frankly bigoted assumptions about the drivers, crews, and fans in NASCAR or he saw an opportunity to win some social justice points and ought to be ridden out on a goddamned rail. Fuck this guy for “punching down” as the kids say by playing to shitty stereotypes about white rednecks.
I think he should demonstrate his sincere regret by swapping his BLM paintjob to drive a replica of the General Lee for a season.
They all cousins, cousins all over, ‘I dindunuthin, was my cousin! who done it’. OK.
It’s fine to punch a Nazi even if he didn’t do the thing you thought he did. If you wanted people to take a second look at David Irving, this is what you’d do.
My god that argument is infuriating. It’s like, “Well, no, there isn’t a campus rape epidemic, but the real tragedy is that the lack of a rape epidemic might make men less sensitive to the real danger of rape that women face. So if we have to ruin the lives of some young men and make the rest paranoid to be alone within a hundred yards of a woman, it’s worth it, because the end result is anti-rape culture. What, do you like rape culture or something?”
Absolutely. Only thing I’d say is (and I’m guilty, too) is to look at things in a light that doesn’t infuriate you. Life’s a long game, so I try to zoom out and get the big view when I can. The minutia with drive you crazy.
Well, the positive thing is that my immediate situation is stressful but pretty good. Two kids and a wife, everyone’s healthy, we’re in decent financial shape and pretty content most of the time. Mostly this stuff doesn’t work its way into my life aside from my wife obsessing over Trump scandals and watching MSNBC and CNN all the time. Even she’s starting to get tired of it, so hopefully some day she’ll just stick to Naked and Afraid.
He’s either a liar or an idiot and maybe both.

Sounds like a nice guy. /sarc
If the noose had been real, then it would’ve been wrong to attack the Bubba’s character. Now, fuck that. Go after the prick.
You don’t know much about NASCAR, that was small potatoes compared to some fights from the past, get over the drama
Don’t now anything about NASCAR. Bird vs Lambeer were some good fights, though. When the game is over, go get them next game. It’s petty to pull shit like that after it’s over.
Tony Stewart running that guy over @ Eldora was based af tho.
Nice work if you can get it.

The reason these “nooses” get folks so excited is that there simply isn’t enough racism in this country to meet the demand and the demand for examples of racism is growing every day. It’s the free market at work creating product to meet market needs.
Manipulated market though. Honest reporters with even the curiosity of a sloth would at least ask some questions.
Don’t worry eventually after enough riots there will be racism again.
Frankly, I’ve reached the point where I no longer particularly care if someone calls me racist or sexist or whatever. Those words have been abused to the point where they have no real meaning. If I can be accused of being racist because I don’t care one way or another about a person’s race, I’m done playing the game.
What conditions do you live in that people would call you said things? I would first say Fuck Off! then kick your ass, and I’m skinny as a rail,
Nobody who knows me and whose opinion I value, thank God. Definitely strangers on the Internet, but that’s par for the course. I’m getting ready for the wokeness to hit me at work, though, and I can see it on the horizon. Just hoping to get out before it gets too bad.
I’m there as well. What I am afraid of is that a lot of people out there with just a touch of prejudice in their mind, just a spot of “Well I know a bunch of black dudes that are pretty cool, but you hear so many stories about …”, who are likewise tired of being called racists over every divergence from SLW dogma, and who are watching the riots and people being dragged from cars and statues toppled and cemetaries vandalized, are going to end up radicalized. The further you push a pendulum the further it swings back. Much as I love the thought of antifa running into a few hundred armed veterans tired of seeing their beloved nation attacked, I am afraid we are just as likely to see Spartacists vs. Brownshirts.
I think you’re right to be worried about that. This is one of those things where you’re going to get radicalized if you’re only getting your information from MSNBC et al. If you step away from the media, which is tough some times given how ubiquitous it is, it helps to recalibrate your view of humanity, or at least the people in your community.
They are disappointed that they can’t find actual bogey men so they invent them. A fucking loop to close the garage door is racist.
Grilled pork tenderloin, grilled chicken, or sweet sausage patties. Decisions are to be made for dinner.
Tough choice, but I’ve never been unhappy with tenderloin.
I am leaning that way too. Now to plan the sides after this beer or two.
We had pork chops. They were good.

What this girl says is what my 18 and under kids all think. They aren’t buying this bullshit. Just confirms us Gen Xer’s did shit right…we just didn’t care
or did the right thing without regard of being noticed,
Good Job! Xer
We can’t care. We’ve got Boomers on one side of us and Millennials on the other and those are both WAY bigger cohorts than GenX.
I care. I care deeply. I just disagree with them almost completely.
I’m Gen X and I care very much.
