Spring in Montana or a survival horror game?
Juneteenth, video games, and you.
Miracle drugs and all the ways bureaucracies can fuck them up.
Everyone is equal in the end, but some people are more equal, it seems.

noun
1. a gaming, lifting, shooting, intoxicated, ravenous, and happily-taken nerd.
2. often aims to misbehave.
3. and though she be but little, she is fierce.*
And rumor has it that she (and her husband) are also delightful dinner companions. You didn't hear it from me, though.
Yeah, no thanks….
Now I’m tempted to load up Fallout 2 and do a slaver run.
One of the few games where you could get stuck in a shotgun wedding (literally, there’s a farmer with a shotgun who will force you to marry his “defiled” daughter), and then sell your wife into slavery.
I think I firsted wrong…. I wasn’t aware.
If no ladies were deprived of their pleasure, it’s no problem.

TLDR: damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
TRDR: The Root; Didn’t Read.
The Root, keeping racism alive and well.
Video games, beer, and just say no to racial politics. That’s how I’ll non-celebrate.
But it’s not a holiday until someone scolds you. Please make some time for a good scolding.
I’m celebrating quietly, meditating on the sacrifices of the Union soldiers and the families they left behind to end slavery in the USA.
Oops, they ended it only in the Confederate states. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free the slaves in non-seceding states.
Close enough for government work.
The author doesn’t say what caused her distaste for “Detroit: Become Human.” Is it because an apparently white person quotes MLK?
“This is a tricky problem, especially for Democrats who have railed against capitalism, profit incentives, and “greedy” manufacturers in the prescription-drug sector for some time.”
Since when?
Socialists are way greedier than capitalists.
Socialists are way greedier than capitalists.
In socialism, the economy is a zero-sum pie.
In socialism, YOUR economy is zero sum pi(l)e.
Rich people may actually volunteer for a drug-related cashectomy that could eventually help everyone, and progressives are against it because 1) the poor can’t volunteer for the same, and 2) they prefer everyone get the cashectomy against their will.
Prescription requirements should be banned.
Prescriptions are required by most insurance for drug coverage.
Yes, that’s why the left keeps fighting against OTC birth control pills.
Even if that continued, it would still be a massive improvement.
I would suggest that various foundations could take the cashectomy and provide experimental drugs to poor ppl for free, but I know that would eventually degenerate into accusations of using the poor as guinea pigs.
KKK and Nazis are everywhere. Almost as many as men who have had their junk mutilated to become women. Millions here in ‘murica alone.
Emergency OT to Akira & any other Glibs in the northern Miami Valley of Ohio: tornado warning in Mercer & Darke Counties. Heads up (or down between your knees as appropriate.)
Louisiana is getting hammered right now. New Orleans will take the brunt. It looks like it won’t get to me until Monday…maybe. I will keep my fingers crossed for y’all.
Good thing Im going to bed.
I hope the cicadas stay safe.
That article is infuriating. Can you imagine how much better off we would all be if the left wasn’t so envious and bitter?
“EXCLUSIVE: Henry Cavill’s Hollywood exec girlfriend Natalie Viscuso is forced to apologise after blacked-up pictures from 2008 Namibia trip resurface online”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9701301/Henry-Cavills-girlfriend-Natalie-Viscuso-forced-apologise-blacked-pictures-resurface.html
At least it not blackface?
Now let’s talk about those scarves the congress critters wore.
They looked like a Wakandan chess set.
That white man should have known better than to associate himself with a white person who racistly let herself be painted by black people in Africa over a decade before they met. I mean come on.
Beat me to it, bro.
“…she spent time with an African tribe in Namibia who dressed her in native clothing…”
OK, and why are we talking about this ?
It’s like there’s some faceless entity out there searching, probing, combing through the past with a fine tooth comb, looking for any ammunition the mob can use against anyone. Filing it away until the time is right, and using it to punish for no good reason. Sounds like some dystopian novel, but we’re living it.
The “faceless entity” is tens of millions of unfulfilled, mentally disordered people who fell victim to the Marxist demoralizatiob efforts because the American public has been asleep at the wheel for 30 years.
Except mendacious fuck sticks are saying it is. We are dealing with pure evil here. You can’t reason with these pieces of shit.
You can’t reason with these pieces of shit.
So why are we rolling over for them?
What do you mean “we,” white man?
Who is actively resisting these lunatics?
What do you consider “active” resistance?
Is completely ignoring morons resistance enough?
Who’s rolling over? I’ll cancel Netflix in a heartbeat, and tell them why.
I was already annoyed with the actress choices for Triss and Yennefer.
So why are we rolling over for them?
Not everyone is. Celebrities aren’t representative of the general populace, they are a small, status and image obsessed clique, easily bent to the ephemeral fashions of the day. Average people are less likely to roll over.
Although, I will admit, you being a Canadian probably gives you a skewed view of things, because at least from an outsider’s perspective Canadians seem to be a lot more docile than Americans or Mexicans. I’ve seen exceptions, of course, but the general trend seems to be that Canadians are the sheep of North America.
I feel utter revulsion at the groveling apologizing that the recipients of this woke bullshit engage in. If you don’t have enough balls and good sense to give a statement that says, “I’d like to take this moment, to apologize to absolutely fucking nobody. If this offends you then go sit on your thumb and spin until you feel better” then I feel like you get whatever the woke mob wants to throw your way.
Sounds like she could claim to be black in some sense since actual Africans initiated her into their tribe and apparently had no trouble with buttering her up.
*Applauds in spite of the incoming gaze*
What a chickenshit. People need to learn how to deal with bullies.
Oh, they “resurfaced”? Like, all by themselves? Just floated right on up to the top of the internet like magic, I guess.
Given how she won’t let the right side of her face be photographed, I can only conclude she has some hideous deformity.
Or Henry likes to throw a left cross?

Yikes!
This morning a MSNBC article read ‘Biden is ruining the economy’. I blinked like 3 times to make sure it wasn’t a dream.
More like Biden’s handlers are ruining the economy.
Narrator: It’s not going to get any better when they put Kamala in the hot-seat.
They know they’re about to see their 401(k)s tank.
Now its time to “reach across the aisle”.
Good day, wokesters. Celebrate, it’s Woketeenth!
My wife woke me up this morning at 9am and said ‘It’s 9am’. And I said ‘Ughhh, leave me alone’ and rolled back over’. And she said ‘you’re not working today?’. And I said ‘It’s Woketeenth!’. And she said ‘Wut?’.
Then after a bit she comes back and says ‘It’s not Woketeenth, that’s tomorrow, 19’. And I said ‘Tomorrow is Saturday, days off work do not fall on a Weekend, Stop ruining Woketeenth!’.
I’m watching sports all day. Commercial television is now so woke you can’t even tell that today is any different from any other day.
I only watch commercial free highlights of NFL games now. Or occasionally watch some boxing highlights. Only on Youtube. I cut the cable a couple of years ago and won’t even watch sports on Sling.
Happy self-flagellation day yanks!

That’s something a 4th grade would do for an “imagine you have your own country” project.
I’m assuming that’s supposed to be some sort of map in the background?
Close: “In 1959, 17-year-old Bob Heft designed the current flag for a school project when there were only 48 states.”
“…on the nation’s most precious hut”
Kamala’s Kunt ?
“Madame Harris”
Oh, yeah, I forgot that’s what they call the head ho.
I was saying it wasn’t going to stop with the Confederate Battle Flag but smart libertarians told me it would stop there since the slippery slope is not real and it pissed off some rednecks so it was fine.
Yeah, I know. Like they were going to stop with confederate monuments. And the next thing you know, they’re going after Columbus and Jesus.
The goal is Western culture, so they can replace it with communism.
Yep. This guy gets it.
In my home town they went after Frederick Douglass. The town where he lived much of his life, is buried, and was widely celebrated back before the country went batshit insane.
To the defense of the useful idiots, they don’t know who Frederick Douglas was. But their commie masters know and he represents Western culture, so…
On what possible grounds could they go after Frederick Douglass? That takes some chutzpah.
I think Hyp is right – they have no idea who the hell he is.
Maybe they saw his name on one of the high schools and assumed he was just another deplorable slaveholder.
To be fair, it’s Macy Gray, writing for NPR. These are the people who willing shell out big bucks to get scolded by Saira Rao.
As one of those smart libertarians that liked it when rednecks were trolled, I must admit you were right Winston. I never imagined pissing on rednecks might lead to a day when a third rate R&B singer would write a naval gazer about changing the US flag, we are definitely sliding into a hellscape from which there will be no reprieve. I apologize for not seeing it sooner when there might have been hope.
naval gazer
Is there another kind?
[golf clap]
I sure you would have said this would never happen: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/interactive/2021/bird-names-racism-audubon/
No, I would have said I won’t give a rat’s ass when it happens. Bird lovers can name their club whatever they want for any reason they want. They can change their official names of birds, that doesn’t break my leg nor pick my pocket. I’m still going to call that little brown bird with the funny looking beak “that little brown bird with the funny looking beak” whether they remove some racists name from it’s official designation or not.
I would also like to point out that a key architect of freedom of association was from a family of slaveowners and had some pro-Confederate views that got him canceled at Engkish Universities…
And SCOTUS says freedom of association exists thanks to the first amendment, written by a slaveowner.
And among the judges that gave the US freedom if association was a guy who interned the Japanese and another was a former member of the KKK.
OFFS!!
I especially like the bit about Puerto Rico and DC. Because locking in four more guaranteed Democrat senators is crucial to crafting a flag that “looks like us”. ?
I’m going to paraphrase Napoleon:

Nope. Ample bosom.
Just a reminder all, I’m going to be out and about tonight (as well as next weekend), so someone else will have to step up and host a Zoom if they are interested.
I’m heading to a honest to god live music venue to watch live music.
It’s only been 16 months!!!!
No masks and the livings easy.
Enjoy man!
Girlfriend and I are heading out tonight to
wasteenjoy some of my bonus at a fancy dinner and then some fancy cocktails. We may head out to the casino, it depends on how the day goes.I’m sure I’ll lose some of the higher frequencies. The sound guy is top notch at the venue however. Never too loud, but loud enough.
Have fun Neph.
No way… Have fun!
Sadly I’m so old now that I’d like to keep my hearing. Hopefully it’s not ridiculously loud.
Thanks
Earplugs are a thing, you know.
Normal ones. attenuate frequencies at different rates. That said the do make them special. for music. Not cheap and haven’t tried them.
Nice! Have fun! We went out a couple weeks ago to a place that had live music (we weren’t seeking it out) and it felt normal. Actually normal, not just a close analog.
Okay, I’ll kick it off at 8:00 PM Eastern, but will have to hand it off to someone else at or after 10:00 PM

So, fixed the equipment that the tech broke overnight. Feeling pretty good, looking to going home early, and ofc a different tool breaks, hard. Can’t fabricate the motor I need, can’t jury-rig around it. Got to call the manufacturer and get a quote.
Blah.

You gotta find a way to get a different motor.

https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2021/06/15/what_i_learned_during_the_2020_fight_over_lockdowns_781415.amp.html?__twitter_impression=true
In my entire career, I’ve variously been associated with institutions and projects that have strived to make a dent in the intellectual and public sphere on behalf of the cause of liberty. These efforts have surely not been wasted. Still, the lockdowns did serve as a test of the vibrancy and effectiveness of both the ideas and the institutions. It is a sad truth that these voices fell almost entirely silent just when they were needed most. When the shock of lockdowns hit us, the world cried out for answers as to why this was happening but such answers were not forthcoming. Even more remarkable, some of the very people one might have supposed would be a reliable force for opposition worked to torture their own philosophical leanings in a way to land them on the side of restrictive virus-control measures.
….
The “libertarian” movement (with some exceptions) not only had no consensus answer to that claim – people had not thought much about it either way – and many top voices in this community even affirmed this view, as if germs are a phenomenon visited upon the world for the first time and therefore required extraordinary measures by the state to protect society from pathogens. The lack of understanding of public health fundamentals disabled the decisive influence the “libertarian” sector of life might have had during the worst attack on liberty during our lifetimes.
Funny one of the big issues right now is that totalitarians are very imaginative and on the offensive while libertarians are on the defense and are unable to see how openly illiberal movements might actually implement illiberal ideas since that goes against progress and only a reactionary fears about the future.
For Woketeenth, I bought myself a new wireless headset, a 2lb bag of monster Shrimp, 2 huge prime cut ribeyes, and many beer. And I have to follow that up with Father’s day. Wonder what I’m getting for that?
Speaking of Montana and/or video games – Far Cry 5 was amazing. Really hit me right in the landscape feels. Absolutely what I’m looking for.
Few people are unaware of its devastating impacts on families and elderly populations, but because of the government throwing loads of taxpayer dollars at the problem, remedies have been slow-coming.
C’mon FEE, you know the government fucks up anything it touches.
“New Jersey is best US state to live in”
https://nypost.com/2021/06/17/new-jersey-is-best-us-state-to-live-in-study/
No.
You’re a bit late to this party.
As someone who has the misfortune to live in NJ for the the vast majority of his life I can’t think of a better example of lying with statistics and survey construction.
Said no one, ever.
Let’s at least qualify that as no one who wasn’t running for some NJ state office.
Yes. All proggies move to NJ. Louisiana sucks.
Yes, move to NJ. Alaska sucks too. It’s awful here. The winters are terrible and in summer, the mosquitoes will carry you away.
All of the red states suck, they need to be warned, don’t move there. Nothing but rednecks, blue states and especially big cities are paradise. Where do I sign up to help get that important message out?
My impression has always been that the only reason anyone lives in NJ is because NY is worse.
WTF??? “Although NJ ranked very low in affordability”. Very low = significantly lower than whale shit.
I just spent the last 2 and a half hours driving home from Westchester NY. Fuck NY and NJ.
Now share with the folks playing along at home how many miles that was.
About 70 – all highway.
Yup…
Having grown up in the southern part I hate the roads up here.

Fuck, she’s way behind the game, universities starting doing that years ago. She probably doesn’t even know about climate change.
I mean how much can you expect from Beetlejuice.
Dude. Drugs are falling outta your ass with every post.
That meme needs to die.
NEVER! It is immortal, like Lou Reed!
So since this same mayor was the one with a racist policy on interviews (no interviews with white men), does that mean she’s infected and must now quarantine so she doesn’t spread the racism?
She needs to vigorously innoculate herself with brass knuckles where it won’t do any lasting harm.
Like her face.
Finally, work is ditching the mask mandate, distancing, and screening stations.
“Playboy model notorious for ‘obscene’ topless Dubai pics comes out as an ‘autosexual’ who ‘wants to have sex with herself’
he Brazilian model, who recently infuriated many for posing topless in the strictly demure Dubai, has insisted that she is deeply enthralled by her own image
Playboy model Luana Sandien has pushed back against the haters who have dragged her for coming out as “autosexual” and has insisted that she is so enthralled with herself she’d like to date herself, the Daily Star reports.
Luana Sandien has stated that masturbation is much more pleasurable than sex with another person for her, and so the Brazilian model has sought refuge in the autosexual community.
“It means I’m attracted to myself,” the 27-year-old social media star said of exactly what being autosexual implies.
“I always felt that way, I just didn’t know there was a name for it.””
https://knewz.com/luana-sandien-playboy-model/
Of all the sexes and genders and things, here’s one I can finally get behind.
You will have to push her out of the way, first.
is autocunnilingus a thing?
Only if you have your floating ribs removed.
“I always felt that way, I just didn’t know there was a name for it.””
She had never heard of “narcissism”?
That’s one way to get attention, I guess.
Turns out that crazy isn’t the exception.
She’s not the only one, I’d bang herself too.
For anyone who may be interested, the time to join/rejoin the LP is right now.
There’s a full scale political battle between the cosmos and what I’ll refer to as the Ron Paul LP aka the Mises Caucus.
It looks like the Mises Caucus is going to win the war and the woketarians are starting to grab their toys and go home.
The deciding factor will be at the next national convention in Reno. Join up, show up, and there’s a good chance we’ll be rid of the Sarwark and have a principled third option again.
Meh. More dancing naked fat guys and Gay Jay/Weld 2 Boogaloo? No thanks. I am done with political parties forever. What we need is a new fucking planet where people are hung in public for even talking about forming a political party.
This. My favorite is when Sarwark made the claim that North Korea is freer than the US. There is just too much bark at the moon crazy in all of the parties.
Well, they finally figured out you can only get batshit crazy people to support communism these days. Fortunately for them, public school has now made those a near majority.
Huh. That would be the most successful resistance of woke entryism yet.
If it’s in Reno I may just show up for it (I’d have to switch back to LP from independent). One of my best friend’s lives there and it’s only a few hours drive. I have a soft spot for that town.
IIRC there was some sort of oath to take to join the LP officially. I feel pretty uncomfortable with oaths in general, so I never joined.
I didn’t know you were a Quacker…
*ducks*
Well, that’s gonna goose another pun war.
Now just heron me out, we don’t have to fight about this.
Just don’t sparrow the puns.
This thread took a tern for the worse.
You are despicable…
He’s Daffy…
Damn autocorrect: I meant Quaker.
Maybe time to take a gander at their website.
I don’t like to put Alabio on my politics…
Yeah, it does look like the Dave Smith types are finally going to manage to take over the party. If that happens I’ll vote for ‘em but I won’t join ‘em. No political party memberships for me.

I’ve done that.
Yep, me too. I am such a cheapskate that mine were used paper plates.

It might be because I’m a self hating black dude, but I don’t really give a shit about Juneteenth. It’s not because I hate freedom but because it does nothing to alleviate the shittiness of living in a black urban area. The Drug War is still raging, black students in urban areas are still hostages for the teacher unions, giving them no hope of bettering their situations, we still have government policies that incentivize out of wedlock births and broken homes, and have assholes who could give two shits about mowing down a group of people with bullets to settle some bullshit beef.
Fighting about whether we should celebrate Juneteenth is a mere distraction so we won’t focus on the actual issues that are fucking over blacks in urban areas.
Sorry my friend. Let’s not forget all the black on black violence too.
Yep. My parents don’t like traveling after a certain time after dark because Mayor Lightfoot and State’s Attorney Kim Fox basically let it be known that they won’t punish those who commit crimes.
Although I suspect they will punish those who try to defend themselves. Neighborhoods could sort themselves out, if they were allowed to do so and the government wasn’t on the side of the criminals.
They already do.
I live in a pretty safe neighborhood in NYC and believe me, I’m paying for it.
I agree.
I’m sure the Biden/Harris administration will do some thing as soon as they find out who runs those cities.

Until too many TEAM BLUE voters move there. See Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona.
I’d say that, like with police brutality/excessive force and lack of accountability, none of those issues are solely black only either. Fixing those things makes all of us better off.

Today Jeff Tucker is loudly attacking Big Tech for their censorship but back 4 years ago he was in favor of deplatforming the alt-right. Admittedly he changed his mind early on once he realized that Big Tech was engaging in political censorship but doesn’t this sum a pretty huge problem of classical liberalism and libertarianism: the belief that we are the Good People who should be running things and sometimes we need to shut up the bad people and there is no way the Good People will label me a bad person who needs to be shut up?
John Lilburne and Thomas Paine are perfect examples of this. Not to mention Mises, Hayek and Schumpeter were liberals in 1914 Vienna but I highly doubt Naziism and Communism were the future they imagined for Austria-Hungary at that time but that is the change they got.
“doesn’t this sum a pretty huge problem of classical liberalism and libertarianism: the belief that we are the Good People who should be running things and sometimes we need to shut up the bad people and there is no way the Good People will label me a bad person who needs to be shut up?”
I couldn’t disagree more with this statement; what you are outlining is a utilitarian/Prog belief, not a libertarian one. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that this is the exact opposite of what a libertarian would believe.
he was in favor of deplatforming the alt-right. Admittedly he changed his mind early on once he realized that Big Tech was engaging in political censorship
Sounds like he was for political censorship before he was against it.
He seemed at first to think they were being deplatformed for economic reasons:
https://fee.org/articles/of-course-the-alt-right-is-against-capitalism/
These people are not popular people, and their views have proven poisonous for venues like Twitter and Facebook, and are banned not for PC reasons, but simply because they reduce the value of the platforms.
Tucker these days explains the almost universal support by Big Business of Biden vs. Trump by Trump’s immigration restrictions (H-1B visas). As if it was the main factor.
Got to justify his love of open borders and hatred of Trump.

“Bruce Springsteen Requiring Vaccines For New York Concerts — But Fans Who Took AstraZeneca Jab Are Banned”
https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/1405918692664356868
First the Foo Pfizers, now this.
Cuomo lifted all restrictions. I’m curious who’s behind this one. The city or the venue?
Interesting. I guess Cuomo was lying.
I am shocked!
Glib armchair lawyers – Technically none of the vaccines are “approved” in the sense we think of. They are emergency use. Right?
Approved for use under emergency declaration.
Under fraudulent and deadly means. Everyone involved deserves prison or death.
Not a lawyer, but I’ve been in the business for 30+ years and actually know some people who worked on one of the vaccines.
These are authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization, which isn’t a new thing they cooked up for this; EUAs have been in use for one compound or another as long as I’ve been in the business. All pre-clinical and clinical work still has to be done, but long-term studies can be incomplete.
There’s also a Humanitarian Device Exemption on the device side that allows some things to go to market in advance of the normal approval process. I worked on one of those in Silicon Valley, a new device intended to close up cerebral aneurysms. The HDE allowed use on patients that basically would have died of a massive cerebral stroke within a few days; almost all of the people instead walked out of the hospital and went home. That was an incredibly cool product.
In addition to the ‘rona EUA, there are currently EUAs in place for treatments for Anthrax, antigen tests for Ebola and MERS-CoV, and diagnostic tests for Zika (just off the top of my head.)
Additionally, both Pfizer and Moderna have applied for full FDA approval for their vaccines.
That aneursym device–when was it developed?
Oh noes, I’m going to miss another Springsteen concert.
Ha. Me too. Dammit.
The screen door slams, Bruce’s dress waves.
“Foo Pfizers” for the WIN! (Sorry, GC for thread already awarded.)
So, Springsteen is now a public health expert on the level of Bill Gates, MD, MPH, DHL(hon)?
He loves science, don’t you know.
He blinded me! With science.
The Boss has become the bitch. Sad really.
Lefty has leftist views. In shock…
Like so many in entertainment, he still thinks they’re liberals. Heh.
The AZ vaccine isn’t approved here. Is that another way of simply saying US as opposed to WHO approved?
Save your Euro white knighting for Hampsterdam! The Boss is Born in the USA!

Equity.
I’ll believe they really believe that when they let me be an astronaut. I’m a bit old and nearsighted and from time to time I drink too much but I want my equity damnit. The only way to achieve equity is to run everything into the ground.
DEI training is coming. It is unavoidable.
The only question is whether or not I get myself fast-tracked for forced retirement.
We need them, because why? They’ve been nothing but another costly worthless bureaucracy for 50 years. And it’s been just as long since they can even get out of low earth orbit. Just one guy, Elon Musk, made them a laughing stock in just a few years.
They need to have their entire budget cut and be resigned to the dustbin of history like all other failures.
Who’s going to do Muslim outreach then?
The same people who do all the other important stuff, like fight climate change and racism. Obviously aging faculty members roaming the halls like dinosaurs at Ivy league universities.
SpaceXcentric guy – would.
He’s pretty ripped. I’m a bit jealous.
Even if they really believed all this non-sense, it would end up in disaster. China and Russian are completely loving it of course because it will greatly weaken the USA and give them a huge advantage. Both of those countries are more against these absurd and destructive ideas than even Glibertarians is that is possible. The American left is a death cult. It’s not just that they hate you, they hate themselves, which I get.

Florida Man continues to win bigly.
Beginning July 18, the CDC’s orders will become mere “guidance,” and cruise ships will hit the open waters once again free from the CDC.
So, here’s the way I see the next 4 years as far as pandemics and lockdowns go. So long as there are no major losses for democrats in the next 4 years, all of the lockdowns and restriction will go away and things will go sort of back to normal.
But if the democrats lose both houses in 2022 or the presidential election in 2024, there will very quickly be another pandemic and return of lockdowns.
I have no idea why I would ever think this, but I am 100% convinced of it.
I don’t think they’re rational enough to do that. They found the “win election” button and they’re gonna rapid fire that think like a rat with an electrode on its prostate.

Gah, I hate this autocorrect
Covid 21, coming this fall.
Nope. Not until after their next unexpected election disaster.
I dunno—they used Covid 19 as a pre-emptive strike to win the election through Mail in vote fraud. They knew Biden had no chance.
They were stunned in 2016 and have no intention of doing that again.
Fucking aphids attacking my pepper plants.
Recommendations for food safe sprays?
This
Spray them down in the afternoon. Won’t take more than a couple of times, it will wipe them out.
Thanks!
A very weak solution of ordinary liquid dish soap (like pure castile soap) in a sprayer will do wonders. The soap blocks up their breathing spicules/openings and they suffocate, or in other cases, busts up their fatty cell membranes and they leak out and die. (There are actually several mechanisms of action, all fatal to various pests.)
There’s recipes all over the web, like this one:

So if the mises caucus types take over the LP I wonder what sort of campaign they would run. I’m guessing some anti-woke, anti-big tech, anti-war, anti-drug war, anti-cop anti-lockdown campaign. How will they deal with the left and right critiques? Will they be able to overcome the populist and antifa noise? Will they get more votes?
Happy Juneteenth.
I am not sure who first linked that. Suthen?
Wow. Amazing – thanks for that Sloper! (and Suthen?)
Hope all of you Glibs are staying frosty while the idiots and ideologues run around performing for the gullible.
Life is great! Crazy hot here in the valley of the sun… (but I don’t want to steal OMWC’s complaint thunder for the ‘morrow?.)
See ya ’round soon enough.
Cheers!
Nice story, but don’t read the replies

FIFA statement makes it official:
Mexico will have to play two World Cup qualifiers in empty stadiums as punishment for homophobic chants
I mean it’s not like the World Cup is going to be played in a place where homosexuality is illegal…oh wait.
