The wife dropped a bomb on me yesterday: apparently my oldest wanted to try Jiu Jitsu.
My oldest happens to have a black belt in Songahm 5 Tae Kwon Do. I’ve also fielded phone calls from school involving him punching a kid.
Granted, the first one cut in line, the second one deserved it and the third one had a plan until he got punched in the face— I don’t want hyperextended elbows on my conscience.
Right, your here for links.
Its like headlines from 2007 but in español.
There were a bunch of elections so I’ll go through a few:
After a highly controversial election last year, Evo Morales appears to have suffered a setback. For now.
Opus Dei has something to do with the Peruvian election?
I was assured this was impossible.
Apparently, St. Vincent and the Grenadines are open, but then again they have to be in order to flee the volcano.
Here’s a good tune. I probably linked it once already, but whatever.
Bless your heart.
As someone who’s lived in the South for most of my life. I appreciate that comment.
What? Do you even make sense to yourself anymore?
He dares not stare into the abyss.
I make the most sense. I defy anyone to find a more sensible Glib than me. I’m the First at making sense.
If only someone had linked that Ecuadoran election story…yesterday afternoon.
*narrows gaze*
But you left out the part about the volcano?
I’m still disappointed that Lasso won and nobody made vaquero jokes,
And you didn’t do anything about it yourself?
We aren’t getting roped into your schemes.
We try to stay away from knotty language, so we can stay family friendly.
It’s something to tie us all together.

Hey, I’m not part of anybody’s herd.
Hey JI, I saw your comment after the afternoon lynx from yesterday were dead. No worries about talking shit on my brother. Obviously I’m not above that, either.
That thread was actually quite therapeutic. I haven’t expressed that irritation as frankly with anyone else as I did here yesterday. I appreciate all of the kind thoughts and input about handling the situation. Thank you all for the comments. They helped.
I was going to ask, if you don’t mind, how old is this brother?
He just turned 26.
Oh gosh, he has a long way to go. Keep in mind: youthful indiscretion and mistakes. Also, where there is life there is hope. Vent all you need but dont give up on him just yet.
Thanks Suthen. I appreciate the perspective. It is nice to be able to vent, but I won’t give up on him.

I’m sure Ms. Tlaib will be the first to give up her armed guards and the police force that surrounds her office.
If the right weren’t so cringy in their performance, they could push for “Defund the Capitol Police” using Ashli Babbit (?) as their poster child.
If the Rs weren’t such effete wusses, they’d do it. I would probably die of shock, too.
Well it was Government Funded Homicide.
And government is just another word for all homicide we commit together.
Government in this country is elected by a majority white population. Whites are intrinsically racist. The conclusion here is obvious. She should be calling for the abolishment of all government.
I might not like the logic, but the conclusions are pretty solid.
See, I thought the “I was reaching for my taser” story would inhibit the cries of “racism” but I suppose I should have known better.
Did she make the call from inside the Capital Green Zone while surrounded by troops and DC cops?

*barf*
[raises hand] “Sir, what about Pakistanis, Bangladeshans, and Sri Lankans?”
Having worked with a lot of people from india… I’m still not seeing the racism here.
If Apu were a doctor and not the owner of a convenience store, they’d have no problem with the portrayal. There are a number of overwhelmingly positive Apu episodes of the show that I can recall and I haven’t watched The Simpsons season the late ’90’s.
s.’
I know it’s a stereotype, but it’s also damn common. I’ve run into a lot of convenience stores owned and operated by Indian families. It’s not even a distortion of reality.
Yes, but you see convenience store clerks, even if they own the convenience store, are looked down upon in the progressive worldview. Starting your own business or providing services to customers who just want to buy things? How crude. Doctors are respectable. So you can still make a show about an Indian doctor even though that’s a stereotype, too, because it is one that doesn’t challenge progressives. They can be comfortable watching that.
And I’ve said it before, but Asian and Indian SJW’s are probably the most insufferable. The stereotypes related to them are mostly all positive outside the one about the size of their dicks and Indians having BO. So much so that the left had to coin an entire phrase to explain away their success in the white supremacist patriarchy that is America.
No wheezin the juice!
The previous owner of my house was an Indian who owns convenience stores.
“You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

I’ve worked with at least one Indian, now several, my entire career. And I never saw this racism they’re talking about. But never let facts stand in the way of a good narrative.
I want to know if it was racist when Homer went to India and discovered all the cabbies were from New York.
Something cultural appropriation…
There mere fact that a man of the wrong race played Apu is the racism here. It has nothing to do with Apu’s profession.
Nope, still not seeing it.
Maybe it’s the people crying racism who are racist?
You might be on to something.
Brockmire would never have apologized!
He shoulda kept it Brockmire. ?
It also contributed significantly to his bank account. When is he donating all the money he made from the show to Indian charities?
The episode where he and his wife got octuplets was cringey.
But the part where he owns a convenience store – what race/nationality/ethnicity *should* the convenience-store owner character be?
Korean?
If he wasn’t listening, he wouldn’t have been able to do the voice.
I’ve actually ready Hernando DeSoto’s (a candidate in the Peruvian election) The Mystery of Capital. He’s an interesting guy with some pretty good ideas, they’ve been implemented partially at times with pretty good results. I’d probably disagree with him on a lot. But, he’s an honest guy who really does have a commitment to economic development.
In short, he hasn’t got a chance in hell.
Not sure. See: the right wing extremist who just won in Ecuador.
+1 on the Mystery of Capital. Not really that dry for a book about development economics either. Maybe the idea of letting poor people develop for themselves through property rights is something that I like too much to be critical of, but I doubt it.

“A New York parent who wants to marry their adult biological child is suing to overturn laws banning incest, saying marriage is a matter of ‘individual autonomy’.
The parent filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court on April 1 asking a judge to declare incest laws ‘unconstitutional’ and unenforceable so that they can wed their offspring in a ceremony in New York City.
The identities of both the parent and the child are not known, with the gender, ages, hometowns and nature of their relationship not detailed in the suit, seen by the New York Post. ”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9465889/New-Yorker-wants-marry-adult-biological-CHILD-sues-overturn-laws-banning-incest.html
Not sure if it should be illegal, but I’m sure it’s wrong.
*Looks at everything done in the past year in the Name of Public Health*
Yeah i don’t know if this is going to work very well in the current zeitgeist
Filed on April 1?
I remember when people said this was a slippery slope argument. Bluntly, though, I can’t think of an argument against this that wasn’t dismissed in the same sex marriage argument.
I could see the argument about potential genetic danger to offspring and the danger to them as being one that wouldn’t apply to the Same-Sex Marriage argument. I know there are some states that allow 1st Cousin marriage if there is no possibility of reproduction. But Parent/Child feels wildly different than that.
To many CK3 players these days.
What did you say about my son-grandson-nephew?!
/Crusader King
Seems a bit odd, though, doesn’t it? We won’t allow these marriages because they might produce genetically defective children, but we’ll happily bless marriages that are incapable of producing any children at all? Society threw reproduction as a standard for marriage out. That seems like bringing it back selectively.
I don’t approve. At all. But, I don’t think there’s an argument you can really make other than enforcing a popular more.
Eh…I don’t think it’s odd at all. There’s a pretty clear difference between saying that marriage is about producing children so we should only sanction marriages that will allow for it and saying that we shouldn’t allow a marriage that has an increase chance of producing genetic defects.
I guess there’s an argument to be made that if they can’t procreate, than no harm no foul. But the whole sanctioning of gay marriage thing was never about logic of any kind. See the twisted, if not completely moronic reasoning Kennedy used to justify the decision. It was a popular movement that became popular largely because people were more comfortable with homosexuality.
Yea, yea, there’s exceptions. But shit don’t get done in this country too often just because it makes sense.
I was going to say something about rights of the unborn, but your point would still stand that that seems very selective, since NY really doesn’t give a damn about that.
Eh, it’s about money. They arent going to be fluffing the sheets. It is an end run around inheritance tax.
What about that “marriage penalty” I keep hearing about….
Greater or lesser than the danger of being unvaccinated? And where is the threshold for making it illegal to take the risk>?
I’m still waiting for polyamorous relationships. As the wealth transfers between married people are usually tax free this creates a big problem for the progressive state.
Should be interesting.
Irrelevantly, though. FTFY
Just because the pedos, incest people, and marry-my-snake (well, not MY snake, but you know what I mean) tried to camp-on to an equal protection argument doesn’t invalidate that central equal protection argument. SLDs strongly apply to state-sanctioned marriage. Marriage is what you do in your cultural tradition. Domestic partnership is the thing you register at the courthouse to ensure heritance, etc.
Shouldn’t be illegal but it’s still fucking gross.
I doubt it’s for sexual sanction. I’m guessing transfer of assets, say, a pension.
Maybe, I didn’t consider that angle.
It’s difficult for me to believe that anyone would bother to seek state sanction otherwise.
Unless they’re attention whores, which is also a possibility.
They’ve gone to trouble to keep their identities out of the press.
I think it’s monetary.
They’ve requested to stay anonymous thus far because of the backlash they’d receive.
I do not have a problem with it. Unless you count having to ask for the gov’t permission.

“Hank Azaria feels he should apologize for Apu ‘to every single Indian person in this country’”
https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/13/entertainment/hank-azaria-apu-trnd/index.html
Apu was (is? Is he still in new episodes?) a heard working and conscientious family man and the fact that he was voiced by a (pussified) white guy means nothing. Go fuck yourself Hank. I swear to God with these damn people.
If anyone is ever the butt of a joke, then you can’t think that they have any good qualities.
I’ve mentioned this to people before regarding the Simpsons. I don’t know where the transition happened, but originally the show was much more focused on Bart, with him being a mischevious kid, but who had a good heart. Same with Homer too, if i remember the original stuff, though the writers didn’t quite make him one dimensional like they seemed to have done with Bart.
Homer used to be a well-intentioned buffoon who stumbled into stupid situations. Now he’s an asshole who creates them.
I’ll be honest that i remembered him like that, but haven’t watched enough new stuff if they had written out his “Highly imperfect, but still Family Man” personality. If so, i think they did that later than when they made Bart a mostly malevolent mischief maker.
The show went into the ditch way back when many of the writers left for Futurama and I haven’t seen any new episodes for the past fifteen years or so but this still gets to me. It’s just sad to see.
Honestly, I’m surprised the Simpsons is still a thing. I haven’t watched an episode in over a decade, at least. Really, people still talking about the show feels to me what it must have felt like for people in the 60s hearing people still debate the merits of the phrase “23 Skiddoo!”.
There’s still people who watch Saturday Night Live. Not the elderly, either. I can’t blame them for this one. There’s people in my age demographic (30) watching this shit.
The IRS is using the CDC’s model as a template
The amount of taxes going uncollected by the federal government could be as much as $1 trillion or more per year, IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said Tuesday.
——-
A confluence of factors suggest the tax-gap growth Rettig projected, including increased virtual currency holdings, which weren’t figured in the 2011-2013 period but now amount to more than $2 trillion worldwide, he said. In testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, Rettig also said counting foreign-source income and illegal-source income would increase the tab, too, and that IRS research indicates $175 billion in underpayments among the wealthiest Americans.
With all those reasons in mind, it wouldn’t be outlandish to think the tax gap “could approach and possibly exceed $1 trillion per year,” Rettig said.
It could be in the TRILLIONS.
If there was just some way to find out how much they owe…
Maybe they could cut spending by trillions? Just a thought.
I was listening to Cake, but then i heard them blow up every libertarian argument ever in this one song.

OFFS!
Look, I seen it on the Teevee!
Rettig said better information reporting from third parties would help the IRS boost collections. He also called for more electronic tax return filing, error correction authority for the IRS and regulation of tax return preparers, in addition to requesting sustained budget improvements.
President Joe Biden just proposed a 10.4 percent increase in spending on the IRS, with most of the additional money tabbed for enforcement. Rettig admitted the IRS is currently “outgunned” in trying to keep pace with all the tax avoidance and cheating, and he endorsed the idea of mandatory funding for the agency that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said she would soon propose in legislation.
Sure. The people you ostensibly work for are a bunch of liars and thieves.
Stick with that.
Nothing illegal about avoiding taxes. It is everymans right to avoid taxes where legally able, and furthermore not even immoral to do so. There’s many a good argument that doing so is _the_ moral choice.
I remember once someone telling me, “The IRS EXPECTS you to take as many deductions as you can.”
If you don’t want those actions, don’t incentivise them in the tax code.
Morons.
Both Democrats and Republicans quizzed Rettig on service shortcomings such as lengthy phone delays taxpayers experience when calling the IRS with questions. Rettig said call volumes have doubled over the past year and reached a peak of 1,500 calls per second at one point.
The IRS is still processing 1.7 million tax returns filed last year as part of a backlog that built up due to the pandemic impact on the IRS workforce. Mandatory overtime — including on weekends — is part of the effort to finish that work, Rettig said. The agency’s mail backlog grew to more than 20 million but has since been cut to a normal level, he said.
Rettig should resign and commit seppuku on the Capitol steps, in atonement for his grievous incompetence.
Oh, wait, he works for the government. Never mind.
“Oh, wait, he works for the government. Never mind.”
Yeah, wouldn’t be a form of mass seppeku? Which in this case wouldn’t be a bad thing.

I had a dentist appointment for cleaning scheduled for today, refused to put on a mask–no cleaning. The receptionist even checked with the dentist–no exception. I’ve been going to this dentist for almost 14 years. I must have been one of the first new patients he got when he purchased the practice. The idiocy of wearing a mask for 5 minutes and then having your mouth wide open for 40 minutes was too much for me today.
Serious question – if you had a job that required you to wear a mask, what would you do?
I would strongly consider moving to another state or town where I wouldn’t have to wear a mask all day. I’m pushing against masks, however mildly, because I can afford it. Of course, many other people are not in this position.
Not really that dry for a book about development economics either.
I’ve found that, when you get away from the BS artists looking for an excuse to push global transfers (with the governments, both developed and undeveloped, as well as all their cronies taking their cut), development economics is an incredibly interesting field of study. The entire question of why some countries grow rich, when the story of the overwhelming majority of mankind’s existence is grinding poverty, is kind of a fundamental question that the study of economics could actually contribute to world by investigating.
Com’on man. Everyone knows that some countries got rich by extracting wealth from poverty stricken people and nations.
A huge portion of the population is so ignorant and ill-informed as to believe precisely that. That makes me sad. 🙁
My favorite class in college was “World Energy Economics”, with this guy, when he was at Northeastern. I still remember a bunch of it, even after *mumble mumble mumble* years.
Hilariously, Greenies were talking about “soft paths of energy” then, which included, no shit, burning wood.
Haughton deftly illustrated it was all unworkable bullshit – there were X hundred years of coal available, X hundred years of oil and natural gas and unlimited nuclear. Anything else was unserious. He even did the numbers on solar at 100% efficiency (which we are nowhere near and are unlikely to ever be).
None of that has changed in all these years.
The idiocy of wearing a mask for 5 minutes and then having your mouth wide open for 40 minutes was too much for me today.
I don’t get it. And some people say, “It doesn’t really make sense, but they make the rules and we follow them.”
Guess what. That’s stupid and wrong and pathetic.
The governing Movement Toward Socialism (MAS), headed by former President Evo Morales, was defeated in the gubernatorial races in four Bolivian provinces in Sunday’s second electoral round, according to preliminary results that on Monday indicate that opposition party candidates handily prevailed in those races.
First thought: Morales is still around?
Second thought: He lost. Good.
Ecuadorean banker Guillermo Lasso pulled off a surprise win in Sunday’s presidential runoff against socialist economist Andres Arauz, putting the country on track to maintain open market policies rather than return to socialism.
On my one trip to Ecuador, my relatives and I watched a protest outside a government building. The protest was against a proposed inheritance tax. The town my relatives lived in was solidly middle class, by Ecuadorean standards. The tax would have fallen heavily on the middle class. A shit ton of people flooded the square around the government building. There were riot police around the building, but they were just watching the crowd. I think Correa was president at the time. The tax was his idea.

What exactly needs to be reimagined? This shooting was the result of a huge fuckup. Anyone trying to pretend that this was because of “racism” is a fucking liar or an insane person.
Given that he had a warrant for aggravated robbery, it isn’t even like you can make the case that this proves we have over criminalized things. I’m not sure that any reimagining of things would stretch to cover pulling a gun on someone and demanding $820 into a misdemeanor.

Damn. Anyone remember Shotgun News?
I have a copy of Shotgun News from early 1986 – just before they banned further registration of new machineguns. Semi-auto versions of the same rifle were more expensive than the full-auto versions mostly because without the internet most people either were not aware that you could buy the full-auto version or because there was a lot of misinformation (urban myth) about what it entailed to get the full-auto version.
My brother and I bought surplus Argentine Mausers (7×57) from Sears mail-order for our first deer rifles. I think they cost $29.95 each.
Is “surge” the new “pounced”?
So, if I’ve got this straight, we’ve cratered the economy, allowed yet another border crisis, bombed Syria and are on the verge of provoking a war with Russia.
And it’s only April.
I was wondering when it became a transitive verb.
You don’t speak journalism, do you?
Call me crazy here, but maybe instead of relying on other countries to secure their borders we could, I don’t know, just actually secure our own and enforce the current immigration laws on the books? Nah, that doesn’t work because this is about optics. Things are just happening too fast and messy for the Dems. It’s just about getting control over the situation and keeping things at a more manageable flow.
Don’t forget that we’ll probably be sanctioning Israel for their cyber attack on Iran’s nuclear facility. Can’t be having (((them))) antagonizing our good friends in Iran!
Don’t forget the riots.
Fucking IRS!
My biggest gripe with them was having to go out to the big processing center in Memphis when I was working as a repairman for IBM. Huge facility. Everyone working there was fat and wearing sweat pants and t-shirts. When you got to someone’s desk to repair their PC they were never there. And since you needed them to log in to verify that the new part worked, you always got stuck cooling your heels for a half hour while they tried to track down the lazy ass. (Did I mention the surprising amounts of failures on Friday afternoons?)
When you are a dirt poor guy scrabbling in poverty, it really chaps your ass when you see these assholes wasting money left and right.
Also didn’t help that their union managed to prevent some of the yahoos from being fired even though they had gotten some prison time for snooping through famous people’s returns. Remember the scandal where some of the workers got caught going through Rush Limbaugh’s and other’s tax returns? Some of them actually got a year or so of prison time. But the union fought for them to have their jobs open when they got out. Can’t find the link now, but I remember it being a big topic of discussion at the time.
The fucksticks still haven’t started processing my 2019 return. It’s been almost five months.
Hey robc, I caught your Fort Collins update in the morning lynx, but the thread was dead by then. I’m currently in FoCo (fuck it, it works). I hope to talk to you about it sometime.

100 days to Armageddon.
Top that, Cartoon villain.
In regards to the border, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an administration fuck up so badly that they’ve had to reverse course three months in.
Well, that is 15 Scaramucci
The Floyd and Write families got together today to discuss why their sons were killed by police. On item not discussed is how the managed to raise such dumbass, criminal children.
“Wright” Damn homonyms.
This is blatantly homonymophobic.
Was a financial advisor included? Families are going to make bank and be set for life.
The ghetto lottery is real.
Mexi, make sure your boy add this to his fighting repertoire:

“You’re fuckin’ 10-ply bud.”
Andrew Manuse, chariman of Reopen NH, on pushing back against the governor.
Last week, the New Hampshire House showed it understands the gravity of our time, advancing reforms within its budget to end the current State of Emergency and restore a balance of powers in our state. We owe these men and women a debt of gratitude.
The recently-passed House budget incorporates fiscal responsibility, tax cuts, elimination of unfilled positions, and, yes, even State of Emergency reforms that are more than appropriate—they are essential. The people don’t just need relief, they need an immediate course correction to restore our republican form of government and protection of our natural rights over our own lives, families, and businesses that once made us the envy of the nation.
With the help of a complicit media and a cadre of “experts” who “earn” their designations by repeating consensus doctrine rather than investigating the truth, the governor has slowly ramped up his stranglehold on society—in essence, “boiling the frog”—, which has enabled him to go from “two weeks to flatten the curve” to more than a full year of one-man rule with little resistance.
“The recently-passed House budget incorporates fiscal responsibility, tax cuts, elimination of unfilled positions, and, yes,”
‘Course could have done that years earlier but nooooooooooooooooo!
Hey, you’re OK! You home?
Hi CP. yeah, home for about 10 days. See the family dr tomorrow, the ortho dr in about 10 days. Not OK but good to be back with the Glibs.
Well, It must be good to be home. Hope you are OK soon.

Alright alright alright.
OK. You know how sometimes, no matter how stupid things get, you have to occasionally do a self reality check? Well this is one of those times.
NYC Mayoral Candidate Curtis Sliwa
OK. Please watch that video and tell me that guy is NOT wearing a fucking red beret. Cause he’s not wearing a fucking red beret, is he?
OFFS!
Is it just the odd sartorial choice or do red berets signify something?
Not at all, comrade, not at all
I wonder if he has a matching Che t-shirt?
NYC is so fucked. Next time, maybe they only get a Andrew Yang, but eventually they get this guy. Then instead of a slow but accelerating trickle out of NYC, it’s going to be a giant tsunami and one of them will be YOUR new neighbor. I mean the good people of NYC will probably remain and then it will get reversed, but the ones with financial means, all of the woketrards I’m saying, will be moving to your town and turn it into a mini-shithole. America is fucking doomed.
He’s not a commie to the best of my knowledge.
He sort of talks like one with the tax increases.
When I hear tax increases and see a guy running for Mayor of NYC wearing a red beret, what am I supposed to think!? Am I supposed to actually do research before shitposting?
Y’all is harshin my buzz…
Guardian Angels, dude.
Yup.
Yep. A golden child amongst Midwest evangelicals.
Duh, I should have recognized that.
You’re ruining it!
He was the founder of the Guardian Angels which, for all of us 70’s Tri-State Area kids, was kind of a big deal. The red beret was their thing.
Yeah, he’s been wearing that hat for decades.
are we sure it want a raspberry beret?
The kind you find in a second hand store?
The leftist PT (workers party) in Brazil wear red berets. Hugo Chavez wore one also, as well as numerous other commies.
So, the Guardian Angels were commies as well as racists?
So does the Airborne. Are you calling the good alcoholics of the 82d commies?
Well, it matches his tie.
So, not a commie. Well there goes his bid for NYC mayor.
Ultimately, this. I don’t think the NYC residents have learned their lesson, so they need to get what they vote for, gooder and harder (sorry, rhywun – you’re along for the ride).
