After yesterday’s hilarity, the girls have produced their first draft of my personal ads profile. How can I not share this?
The words others use to describe me are: elderly, fat, balding, and broke. But to make up for that, I have an abrasive personality, fascist political beliefs, and smell funny. I was just in a 15 year marriage to Superwoman, so you will always fall short of my expectations and disappoint me, which I will be unable to hide.
Do you have unresolved grandpa issues? Substance abuse? A history of bad choices? If yes to all of these, you have found your Mr. Right.
I’m old and decrepit, but potentially fun.
I can’t argue with any of that.
Birthdays today are not quite as thick on the ground as yesterday’s, but still, there was a guy more logical than Spock; an Ur-cultural appropriator; a delightful woman who lives on in most of the folks here; a woman who inspired hundreds of sick jokes; the guy who taught Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason; one of the icons of my childhood; a guy who made Dana Carvey; a piece of shit lawyer and politician, but I repeat myself; and a guy who made films almost as banal as Steven Spielberg’s.
We’re all here for the Links, not my stupid stories, so let’s get to them.
UK’s Hunter Biden, but will have a fantastic reign as King.
OH NO, LOOK WHO THE SUPREME COURT GOT UPSET!
“Mostly notable for its symbolism.”
Old Guy Music seemed vaguely appropriate.
“Speaking truth to power!”
I heard some academic tried to explain why this was not really violence. I guess like racism can only come from honkeys, violence can only come from people that don’t want marxism.
The left keeps trying to normalize violence against people they disagree with. They are not going to like the result once the right decides to accept the premise.
👆👆👆
They really believe they can use the power of government to deny the right the ability to reciprocate…
THAT’S NOT FAIR WHEN YOU FIGHT BACK!!!
… And they might not be wrong.
In specific for the time being, but not in general over the long term.
It will last so long as people fear the consequences of being an example of more than they fear the repercussions of continued leftist rule. And a depression is going to be a hell of a repercussion to swallow.
It’s a pressure cooker of social discontent that when it pops, it takes out the whole kitchen.
There is no vengeance known than that of a man who just wanted to be left alone.
balding is not bald so there’s that. Are you rocking a comb over?
Shave your ass or balls, and super glue that shizz to your head!
But then you’d have to walk bent over until the glue separated.
“OH NO, LOOK WHO THE SUPREME COURT GOT UPSET!”
The left loves big government only when it does what they want. The moment it doesn’t then they want to dismantle it all, send the people involved to gulags, and to punish anyone that supports the decisions or actions they don’t like or want. There is something to take note off there…
One setback and their crazies go off. Seems like they need more setbacks, builds character.
In all fairness the left suffered two major SCOTUS setbacks last week — Bruen and Dobbs.
NJ officially dropped their “prove need” from carry licenses.
I bet they all come up with clever ways to not follow this ruling, and we will need to spend another 7-10 years to get them slapped down again. The left loves this tactic of allowing them to keep changing shit until they get what they want, then once they have that, declare no change will be allowed ever again. Or else….
Good news. But is it now actually possible to obtain a license, or are they just doing window dressing?
My bet is that it will be window dressing, and a piss poor effort at it, out of spite.
*shrug*
I escaped many years ago.
CA AG intends to find another way to continue may-[but-really-shall-NOT-unless-well-connected]issue with some very questionable guidance to LE offices in the state. [over at Volokh]
I would love to see them sued in civil court by people they deny.
The funny thing about CA is that it really, really depends on which county you live in (of course it does, silly!) I have a friend who lives just outside Sac, but in Placer county where it is pretty lenient re ccw. She has no issues getting renewals on her permit.
So, was the effect of Dobbs minimized because they had weeks of advance notice (who was the leaker btw?) or maximized because of anticipation?
Maximized, imo. And still ramping up.
^This. And they seem to have mostly forgotten about Bruen. Mostly. But I still see petulant posts about “why do guns have more rights than women.”
This is so asinine. No wonder it’s popular.
As usual, I am left wondering…. Who?
I have it on good authority that they never reached a volume which bothered her.
Some found such jokes offensive, but she would never see it that way.
Since Swissy hasn’t said it yet…
/Narrows gaze/
Thank you.
My closely placed source told me that while she kept a calm public demeanor about them, those jokes would set her off in a blind rage.
Little-known fact: Helen Keller kept a Tommy gun around for self defense.
I hope the Range Safety Officer insisted that she wear ear plugs when she was practicing. Tommy guns can be super loud you know.
Tommy guns are aimed by smell.
Like pinball?
an Ur-cultural appropriator – that link does not included Summer
““When we think about the United States, we make the essential error of imagining it as a single nation, a marbled mix of Red and Blue people,” Podhorzer writes. “But in truth, we have never been one nation. We are more like a federated republic of two nations: Blue Nation and Red Nation. This is not a metaphor; it is a geographic and historical reality.””
Actually, most people aren’t either. The problem is that politics is being forced into everything — sports, entertainment, food, etc.
“Podhorzer isn’t predicting another civil war, exactly. But he’s warning that the pressure on the country’s fundamental cohesion is likely to continue ratcheting up in the 2020s. Like other analysts who study democracy, he views the Trump faction that now dominates the Republican Party—what he terms the “MAGA movement”—as the U.S. equivalent to the authoritarian parties in places such as Hungary and Venezuela. It is a multipronged, fundamentally antidemocratic movement that has built a solidifying base of institutional support through conservative media networks, evangelical churches, wealthy Republican donors, GOP elected officials, paramilitary white-nationalist groups, and a mass public following. And it is determined to impose its policy and social vision on the entire country—with or without majority support. “The structural attacks on our institutions that paved the way for Trump’s candidacy will continue to progress,” Podhorzer argues, “with or without him at the helm.””
That’s some projection.
“paramilitary white-nationalist groups” is one of their obsessions. Any two old, white guys doing target practice, wearing camo, and telling the “bi-polar” joke are a PWNG.
And it is determined to impose its policy and social vision on the entire country—with or without majority support
But it was okay when the left did it, repeatedly, from 1954 onward.
And what does he call the side that controls the unquestioning media, the entertainment industry, and a Democratic party that tolerates not dissent or even questioning of “The Message”?
as the U.S. equivalent to the authoritarian parties
But enough about the Democratic Party.
There are pros and cons to being a melting pot. For all its faults, and of those that were here then and now, America, in the first part of its existence, tried hard to be that melting pot. The people that ran things knew that the young country needed go-getters to grow it and set their policies to encourage that. And that allowed it to attract people that all wanted to be able to chase the American dream, which in their own personal pursuit, whether they succeeded or failed, made it prosperous and rich. Everyone became Americans first. Something that was then able to benefit all if properly allowed.
Today’s scumbags are dividing us on purpose, because divided we are easier to conquer and fool, and that’s easier for them to do precisely because of the whole melting pot concept being abused by their reinterpretation of things.
“Today’s scumbags are dividing us on purpose, because divided we are easier to conquer and fool”
True, the real divide isn’t red vs. blue, it’s the elites vs. commoners.
The globalist movement can’t succeed if the elite have to contend with a wealthy and effective middle class. The US middleclass has to be destroyed for them to return us to the days of lords and serfs.
John Adams nods his head
Yes and no. I think it’s elites v. commoners insofar as the elites have nobody’s best interests at heart except their own. I still want to live in a community free of influence from the shrieking harpies we’re seeing flip out over Roe going away. I just don’t trust the elites to do anything but pour gas on the fire.
Roe doesn’t even automatically mean abortion goes away. It means it returns to being a political debate/decision at the state level. Odd how they seem to believe they don’t have democratic support for it.
ACHCHUALLY… it doesn’t even do that, really.
On its face, Dobbs simply upholds Mississippi’s law prohibiting abortions after 15 weeks.
As a pragmatic matter, very few people – i.e. only those in MS or elsewhere who want to abort their unborn children at >15-20 weeks, “lost” anything.
The hyperventilating assholes on both sides, however, have once against (intentionally) misrepresented the decision (as they did for Roe from its inception) for maximum freak-out and divisiveness.
How do you arrive at that when the decision summarizes itself with
on page 1?
Are their hyperventilating assholes on the pro-life side about this decision?
Haven’t really heard much from that quarter except an article from National Review someone posted that somehow managed to make the Dobbs decision about how Trump is Hitler. I’ll admit that took spin and refocus took some artistry since the author was in favor of the Dobbs decision.
Tell me you didn’t read it w/o telling me you didn’t read it.
Back before the Progressive Era, there was just a whole lot less ruling to be done. But now, by god, is there any aspect of life that the government doesn’t need to be telling you what to do?
The left is about having government pick winners and losers, in the name of equity or whatever idiot term you want to use, which means government will need to control all our choices and punish us for the wrong ones if you have the freedom to choose.
So he’s starting with an endumbified variant of Albion’s Seed?
“The hero we need.:The hero we need.”
This guy really took the whole “Tell the lie!. Tell it often and tell it hard! Tell it so much and with such conviction that others come to see it as truth!” tactic of the left when it comes to shaping opinion of reality, to heart. Got to give him his props for that…
I still have not heard what Kanye was doing in Chicago with his MAGA hat and whiteface when poor “Juicy Smolliet” was brutally accosted…
Rodrigo said she was “heartbroken,” “devastated” and “terrified” over the ruling, adding, “so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this.”
Bless her heart.
It will at least be offset by all of the births.
Nice.
Why is it that the women I see making the most hay about this ruling tend to be the ones I would statistically ascribe the least chance of ever being able to get pregnant and having to worry about killing their kid, cause you would have to be one heck of a desperate or lonely dude to do that thing to them?
I see this comment a lot, but the fact is there are many desperate horny dudes out there willing to screw anything. All she needs to do is hang out at a club until closing time, some lame-o will take her home (or at least to his car.) The most grotesque, ill-tempered, wamaloo I work with has 2 kids. Hell, you can’t throw a doughnut down the frozen food isle at the local wally-world without hitting a scooter-momma.
Are there that many desperate dudes out there that they would fuck a pile of rocks on the off chance there was a snake in it? Jeeze…
Dude – incels?
yes. yes there are.
Uhm, yes.
ROFL, yes.
All she needs to do is hang out at a club until closing time, some lame-o will take her home (or at least to his car.)
When The Swan was doing well on TV, I proposed a show called The Owl. Instead of suffering at the gym and undergoing lots of cosmetic surgeries like the contestants on The Swan, contestants on The Owl would sleep in, eat whatever they wanted and then show up at a bar a half hour from closing time.
The show would demonstrate exactly what Neron-sy said. Any woman can get laid if she knows where to go and when.
No death needed, just perfect blow job technique
“so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this.”
This is a bizarre talking point. Why exactly would they be dying? Because they might need to travel to another state if they wait too long to decide they want an abortion?
Speaking truth to power! – now you see the violence inherent in the system.
UK’s Hunter Biden, but will have a fantastic reign as King. – well in order to solve climate change open must compromise now and then, let that not detract from Charlie’s noble goals./
I fully welcome homeopathic solutions to climate catastrophe!
Honorable mention. BTW, can you do an insider perspective article on NYS gun law enforcement some time in the medium future?
Maybe. One of my clubs is doing a meeting with lawyers this Wednesday, I’ll see what I can learn.
Other than that, “enforcement” isn’t something I typically witness. Occasionally someone will bring King’s Men only weapons to match and the verification process is the competitor says “I’ve got a SAFE act gun, is that OK?” and the match official says “Just don’t put more than 10 rounds in the magazine.” I’ve never seen any kind of verification that the guy is LE or the rifle is registered.
Thanks. No rush.
He seems nice.
What is the official Glibertarian view, is Green Day in fact punk?
I can’t recall a single song of theirs that I like.
maybe you are not punk enough yourself
No maybe there…
Dookie has a lot of catchy songs. They can write a tune.
Didn’t care to follow after that.
Embracing monarchy? Sure why not.
The queen doesn’t have much time to listen to him whine though.
I saw them play in a friend’s basement long before they were famous. They were what at the the time was called “hardcore”.
They’re a subset of punk.
I don’t think “punk” slavishly promotes the establishment narrative.
Not back in my day, anyway. *yells at cloud*
It’s funny watching all the “fuck the man” types beg for bigger government less and to be controlled more.
Nothing says I’m a rebel like “I have a healthy distrust of authority . . . and I’m vaccinated” on your facebook photo
Same with metal, and rock, and pop…
Our rebel heroes are pretty pathetic
He’s no Johnny Rotten that’s for sure.
Pop with a punk accent.
^this
Started as punk. Became less punk with each successive album. Definitely pop punk and catchy. Also, juvenile. I loved it as a kid. Now the only thing I like about listening to an old Green Day song is the nostalgia of playing them with friends in my first band.
They have punk roots, but as the defining characteristic of punk is it being outsider art, no. They are not punk, in fact they are so establishment at this point as to defy the idea of punk.
Rodrigo’s abortion rights activism comes a year after she visited the White House to promote youth COVID-19 vaccination.
Cherry on top.
“She decides: Women go on nationwide SEX STRIKE in protest at SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade as pro-choice marches continue across America and rioters in Portland go on rampage”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10954353/Women-threaten-SEX-STRIKE-protest-SCOTUS-overturning-Roe-v-Wade.html
Riots in Portland?
Again, why is it that it is the women I am sure nobody but the most desperate would actually engage in sexual congress with, that scream about sex strikes the most?
Alternatively, the women most likely to get abortions are now not going to get one.
I thought advocating for abstinence was evil.
It still is, if you’re doing that for god.
I hope it is a long strike.
I always like how pro-abortion women scream about men oppressing them, while utterly ignoring how many women are on the pro-life side.
Pro-life women are not real women like dudes with tits are…
They can just identify as men, and get all those rights back. This ain’t rocket surgery.
Hetero sex is so out anyway, I’m not sure what the big deal is.
I thought hetero sex equals rape.
Or how many men are pro-abortion because it is a get-out-of-jail-free card.
When I was a young man, before I grew up and lurned better, I supported it for that single reason..
The anti-abortion women have standards about whom they’ll sleep with. The pro-abortion women only have standards about whom they’ll marry. This makes the latter seem like the perfect match for similarly horny dudes with low standards. Acknowledging the existence of alternatives, of better women or better men, and especially of a different dynamic between the sexes, would break the spell.
A sex strike?
Fuck. Now I am going to have to bang scabby women until this is over?
Scab buster!
You need to be introduced to Sandpaper Sally.
My favorite line is all of the “Men, get a vasectomy. Because otherwise you might have to raise a child you don’t want” . . . umm . . . isn’t that exactly what most pro-life advocates want?
People don’t want people who don’t want kids to be raising them. They just want to stop them from killing* them to not have to raise them.
Left unsaid – the woman could always force a man to become a father responsible for a child he did not want.
well, bye…
‘Let the sunshine in’: Elizabeth Hurley, 57, flaunts her toned physique in a TINY lemon bikini as she soaks up the sun
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10956211/Elizabeth-Hurley-flaunts-toned-physique-TINY-lemon-bikini-soaks-sun.html
this remends me of an old Jimmy Carr joke.
I am gonna bet money she isn’t doing any sex striking…
Old men everywhere, rejoice!
She’s only three years younger than me, and I look like ten miles of bad road these days. But then, Mrs. Animal is five years younger than me and still looks like she’s in her thirties.
Women age better than men do.
I’m pretty sure they also put more effort into it.
That’s alot of stupid to unpack. Votes for Biden, files to run as a Republican. If he renounces his citizenship, he’ll disqualify himself from running. If he moves to the U.K. he’ll live in a country with more restrictive abortion laws than Roe allowed.
He supported Hilary too, but he’s against the war machine you see.
One of the most obvious things to come out of this abortion thing is how uninformed and stupid most people are. You have no idea how often I have had people whining about the SCOTUS ruling tell you the rest of the world has abortion without restriction and now we don’t, and that they are fucking mad that abortions are now banned. When I point out that no country in Europe, nay in the western world, had abortion on demand rules other than the US, and that the SCOTUS ruling simply overturned a made up previous ruling that claimed there was some constitutional right to using abortion as contraceptive, these people don’t respond with logic. Their response is plain unadulterated childish tantrums and a desire to hurt the people that refuse to bend the knee.
On a soccer blog I follow (leave me alone) one of the commenters suggested that English teams shouldn’t do preseason tours to the US anymore (boycott). Playing in European comps is fine though.
Yes, childish tantrums are everywhere over this. I also tell them that creating rights out of thin air is not what the Court was intended to do. If you want to enumerate a right, amend the Constitution, such as with women’s suffrage. That’s a right the Court cannot take away.
But amending the Constitution is too much work. They want their pony now.
The reason we are where we are today is that so many people have been conditioned to believe they have a right to instant gratification and that birth gave them rights to both property and services from other people. I blame the parents that somehow convinced these kids that they were entitled to the same standard of living the parents provided (or more) without the understanding that there was a long period of work to earn that standard to start with.
It is a core Progressive belief that the Constitution is bad because it inhibits their good intentions. Why try to amend something you would prefer wasn’t there at all?
It’s historic, alright
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov suggested earlier this month that Russia may have found another means of payment. Moscow wired the $100 million in rubles to its domestic settlement house, but the two bonds in question are not subject to a ruble clause that would allow payment in the domestic currency to be converted overseas.
Reuters reported early on Monday, citing two sources, that some Taiwanese holders of Russian eurobonds have not received the interest payments due on May 27, indicating that Russia may be entering its first foreign debt default since 1918, despite having ample cash and willingness to pay.
Siluanov reportedly told Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti that the blockage of payments does not constitute a genuine default, which usually come as the result of unwillingness or inability to pay, and called the situation a “farce.”
“Get it from the Americans.”
“Your in default because we won’t take your money – and the money we already stole from you doesn’t count.”
I think the dating profile is missing one slight touch…

What’s so inadvisable about breaking up the country? To fight climate change do we have any other choice?
It would allow current blue states to actually mandate climate action in similar ways as happening in the EU—as opposed to doing nothing, as we are now. The only impediment to climate action now is minority rule. It’s a broadly popular notion.
With the current system there is no feasible path to common sense climate policy. The senate math never works, and the Supreme Court has signaled it wants to denude the EPA. To work on limiting emissions in the US zone, we have to free states to pursue new laws.
Lol because the EU is definitely doing stuff that is working to Stop muh climate
I still struggle to understand how many people are so fucking lacking in common sense that they actually have taken up the fight for climate change. Do they not understand that the one constant in the universe, and definitely when it comes to complex systems, is change? Are these people just religious zealots that in another age would have quickly been recruited to fight in the crusades or for some other cause they were told was noble? And why is it that the fight to save Gaia from climate change always involves wealth redistribution, from the middle class to the elite in government, so they can then decide who wins & loses?
just religious zealots
Yes. So it isn’t anything you can reason them out of. The high priests have consulted the oracle and the model said doom.
So you break up the country. California saves the world by powering their state with Unicorn Farts. Of course, the big Red Middle is still driving around in their trucks, and now without California emissions jacking up the system. Climate saved?
Plus, when Arizona cuts off California’s water supply….
The climate change agenda requires conformity across borders. It’s one of the reasons they love it.
Much like the way socialist societies cannot succeed when exploitative capitalist countries which attract investment and sell cheaper products exist next door.
Lol because the EU is definitely doing stuff that is working to Stop muh climate
Yes, but they SAY the right things, while Americans day the WRONG things. It’s not what you do, but your started preferences, duh.
Climate change is one of the greatest rackets foisted on humanity, and I am still not sure if I should just categorize it as a new incarnation of the old collectivist death cult, or a new variant just getting ready to rack its own body count record.
Malice has suggest the republicans move to set the justices at 9 when they regain house and senate (white house?). When that fails, they go hog wild on packing the court.
What is the over under on number of justices in 2050?
We’re all justices by then as long as you wear the silly dress.
You are assuming they will need justices or a court by then. If the globalists get their way, courts will no longer be needed. The people that piss off the elites will simply be identified as enemies of the state and sent to work camps.
Courts will still be needed. Even the Nazis and Soviets had courts. They will just be subordinate to the party.
Why do they need courts when they can just do congressional hearing reality Tee-Vee shows like the J6 shizz?
Fig leafs are needed. Iron fists need velvet gloves, otherwise you might get open rebellion.
The proles need to be fooled. The outer party wants to be fooled. The inner party only cares about the result.
Dunno, how many rings have been created? One doesn’t just create a Nazgûl.
Next you are going to tell us you own the one cock ring to rule them all….
Malice has suggest the republicans move to set the justices at 9
Unless an amendment, it would only prevent packing while the Rs can block Ds from passing legislation to pack the court.
You’re right, he has said it would need to be an amendment.
Even an amendment wouldn’t be enough if the Ds can replace a couple judges. A 5-4 ruling that the amendment doesn’t actually mean only 9 judges on the court. The court can be expanded with only 9 of the judges selected for a case (the right ones of course).
I’ve read such proposals stating expansion is not political but a way to relieve the burdens of the court.
So Social Security might go bankrupt, but I can count on my Supreme Court Justice pension to tide me over in retirement? Because everyone will get to be a SC justice?
Minority veto is not the same thing as minority rule. You can pretend to believe in The Consent of the Governed or Majority Rule, but not both simultaneously.
And, of course:
However, Ash suggested that the carbon transition and accelerated Western diversification away from Russian energy and commodities means that this “golden goose is cooked two to three years down the line.”
“So on a two to three years outlook Russia faces a collapse in export receipts, with almost no access to international financing because of sanctions and default,” he said.
All that oil and gas will be completely worthless in another year or two, once we get the farting-pony-treadmill generators on line. Putin should just wave the white flag and let us take over.
I am a huge Mary’s Danish fan, but honestly, Farting-Pony Treadmill was nowhere near as good as Here Comes the Wondertruck.

Someone posted this link the other day.
I did some rough math. Currently 18 states will have abortion banned in the next 30 days. Those states accounted for 142,270 or 15.3% of all abortions in the United States. I am pretending all of those aborters don’t go to another state. Based on population crime trends 632 of those babies will go on to be felons. That’s statistically insignificant when distributed among the 18 states.
Now when looking at welfare payments, it would amount to approximately $878 million more distributed between all 18 states. This is based on the average I found of $32,500 per a child with 19% of the population on welfare.
Democrats should be happy there is approximately $2.1 billion in tax revenue per a year in those non-aborted children.
This is clearly me being silly with numbers and there are plenty of factors at play, but I think it’s good enough to show that the doom sayers are full of shit per usual.
rough math is racist, probably
Is it as fun as rough sex?
depends on which side of the dick you are on

That slap didn’t look too hard, but I’m ok with the arrest based on intent.
UnCiv: Now that you can join us, what’s your budget for a competition handgun? I’m sure we can get vast amounts of recommendations for you.
On gear, I bought a cheap Chinese knockoff from Amazon (Krydex) that has lasted me three seasons now with no signs of failure. By “cheap,” I mean a belt and five mag carriers for the price of 2 Double Alpha carriers (no belt). I did buy a Double Alpha holster because I didn’t want to risk getting a substandard one. If you want all American, Black Scorpion seems to be well-liked. Almost all of the big name makers are foreign — Double Alpha is Dutch, Ghost is Italian CR Speed is S. African, and Guga Ribas is Brazillian.
Oh, and I’ll be shooting at Watervilet’s monthly USPSA match this Saturday.
I can’t join you, the law still requires getting a permit to buy a handgun, and I still don’t have one.
Bruen did not institute constitutional carry, and the state hasn’t changed the law, the forms, or the process. I still need four character reverences, a photo, fingerprints and a bunch of grovelling to the local PD cuntes who claim on their webpage that the permit is a privilege.
reverence is hard to come by
*looks at collection*
Think of all the money they’ve saved you!
Give it a couple of weeks.
I am being unreasonably optimistic that Bruen will render the applications unchanged but pro-forma.
Also, I dunno about Albany, but buying a gun is the official first step in the process is Saratoga County.
I’m the kind of guy who got mortgage preapproval before shopping for houses.
I’m not going to look at pistols before knowing I can buy one (or more).
Plus, I don’t trust the people handling the process, expecially in Albany county.
To answer your actual question with regards to budget – I’m not sure, I have to determine the proper rate of paying down the roof loan.
After my ‘performance’ at the MD State Championships, I may have a complete Carry Optics rig for sale, cheap…
It is a multipronged, fundamentally antidemocratic movement that has built a solidifying base of institutional support through conservative media networks, evangelical churches, wealthy Republican donors, GOP elected officials, paramilitary white-nationalist groups, and a mass public following. And it is determined to impose its policy and social vision on the entire country—with or without majority support.
I know you are, but what am I?
These people are so utterly un-self-aware.
I’m really curious to see what the polls say about this. Because last I checked, a majority of people consider themselves “pro life”. And a vast majority of people support at least some restrictions, especially limiting to a certain number of weeks.
Tired of finding and writing finite state machines by hand? Why not find them automatically using differentiable programming?

No mention of the van in your profile?
Podhorzer defines modern red and blue America as the states in which each party has usually held unified control of the governorship and state legislature in recent years. By that yardstick, there are 25 red states, 17 blue states, and eight purple states, where state-government control has typically been divided.
Measured that way, the red nation houses slightly more of the country’s eligible voting population (45 percent versus 39 percent), but the blue nation contributes more of the total U.S. gross national product: 46 percent versus 40 percent.
I love this line of attack. Right. Now tell me which of those “nations” could feed its population. You can’t eat facebook, no matter what its contribution to GDP might be.
Take away the artificial wealth due to fed policy and see what happens.
I also like “Red states want to kill democracy! Also, they contain more of the voting population. BUT WHATEVS!!”
“Now tell me which of those “nations” could feed its population. You can’t eat facebook, no matter what its contribution to GDP might be.”
Sounds like something Putin would say.
Can we do a “Hitler Reacts to Facebook” ?
Easiest would be “Hitler reacts to quality processes” — you’d have at least five Neins….
California is a major agricultural producer and long has been, but the regions of the state where that’s true are of course not politically identical to San Francisco.
That article was such steaming garbage. It’s amazing to me who and what passes for “intellectual” on the Left.
As has been posted here many times, instead of doing it by state, do the Team Red and Team Blue county-by-county and see what happens. (Clinton Archipelago).
Doing it by state is so much blatant base-stealing that it’s laughable.
Progs get to claim an entire State when it’s largely one Blue city population center surrounded by an ocean of Red counties who resent being told about how they need to give up their standard of living to love Mother Gaia more – all screamed by the latte sipping crowd from their Starbucks.
You rang?
Fulfilling my obligation.
So, assuming abortions actually do down (questionable), does that mean that foreign adoptions will go down, as there will be a larger supply of healthy US born babies up for adoption?
On a related note, my daughter has two black friends in FtC, one from school, one from church. Both were adopted by white, religious parents. One was born in inner-city Houston, the other in Ethiopia to woman with AIDS.
Not sure what any of that means.
It is best if babies of color aren’t adopted by oppressors.
How will lawns be mowed and dishes cleaned if we stop minority adoptions?
It is why we need more undocumented workers.

EU to Africa: “Don’t buy fertilizer from Russia”
Africa: “Ok then we’ll make fertilizer ourselves”
EU: “No you won’t, that clashes with our ‘green goals'”
https://twitter.com/St_Rev
No fertilizers worked for Sri Lanka just sayin
The nonEastern European EU nations live in a fucking fantasy world.
Poland seems to be trying to resurrect the old stereotype recently.
I’ll cut them a little bit of slack because they have a very long and extremely contentious history with the Rooskies. It’d be nice if some of their peers told them to settle the hell down though.
Have I complained about air travel lately? Last night United cancelled my direct morning flight and rebooked me on an evening flight. This morning they cancelled that flight and now I get to visit Chicago for a while on my way to NY. What I’m really worried about is getting home on Thursday before the long weekend.
https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/united-airlines-cutting-newark-flights-reduce-delays-congestion
The flights they cut seem to be the ones I booked and paid for.
air travel is bad for the environment, take a train like civilized folk
EWR is a shitshow.
United has been in a pissing match with the Port Authority claiming it is drastically overscheduling slots.
I’ve no idea what the truth is as United lies through its teeth as does the Port Authority.
While they had problems in the earlier winter cancellation rounds, Southwest seems to be doing fine right now.
They already got your money, SUCKA!
Delta was only a semi-shitshow, with a bit of a silver lining:
Late leaving BOS last Thursday, get to ATL at 9:30, flight to SXM leaving at 9:45 – doors close 15 minutes beforehand. So we can see our flight through the windows, but we’re stuck in ATL overnight (one flight a day) and missing a day of vacation.
Silver lining – since ATL is a (the?) Delta hub, we were able to deal with a real, live human at the service desk who hooked us up with a hotel, vouchers, overnight kits, etc.
Silver lining the second – the resort agreed to shift everything by one day (F-F instead of Th-Th) for no charge and that same Delta service desk was able to shift our return flight to that Friday, also for no charge.
I am totally confident that would not have been possible had we tried to make that change via the phone (2+ hour wait times).
ATL to BOS return flight was 2 hours late, to boot (smoke detector in the forward hold was wonky – captain ended up going down and helped move all the bags to the rear hold so they could just disable/ignore the sensor in the now-empty forward hold).
Could have been much, much worse.
I think I am going to suck it up and make the extra hour drive to Asheville or Charlotte in the future in order to avoid United.
My understanding is that pilots can have only a certain number of hours in a month so at the end of the month more flights get cancelled.
Earlier this month, it was schedule to go home on a Thursday. Didn’t make it home till late on Sunday.
“I”, not “it” dammit.
OM, I’m stealing your bio, just in case. I’ll have to make a few amendments. Is it plagiarism if it’s not used for profit?
Now I get your handle. Why score a ten when you can score two fours and a two?
Is getting some trim, not making a profit?
I feel so foolish, after reading that Atlantic article. Why on Earth did I move to Pocatello when my life would be so much better in San Francisco or Seattle?
The pro-choice sides needs better gotchas.
This is not the worst idea I’ve ever heard…
My body my choice, huh?
I have a better idea, let’s just remove Oklahoma Democrats from the gene pool.
So “My Body My Choice” does not include a woman’s choosing whether or not a member of the patriarchy can bust a nut inside her?
Everything the baby killers say leads me to believe that they have no choice in the matter.
One neat thing about Google news is that it usually captures headlines as released, but that are now changed.
Within in an hour CBS toned this down.
It’s now –
Honestly, I thought tossing out Roe V Wade would’ve caused a bigger reaction.
Me too, it’s just not the issue it used to be although for a very loud 10 percent of guys and gals it retains its utmost importance.
That 10% has been screaming about everything for the past 6 years. Oh no, they’re screaming again? It’s become soothing white noise to me at this point.
If they stop that’s when you know something is up, just like kids.
My friend in Dutchland called me to ask if I hear the US just banned abortion
Did you school them?
My brother has a job offer from the Low Countries. He’s also got one from Vancouver that pays four times as much, but he claims that the “benefits” in Greater Holland make up for it. I really don’t think that it’s possible, but that he wants an excuse to move to Euroland.
Al least he’s not still pushing Crete.
The tomatoes and vegetables in general are better in Crete. And most fruit. In Dutchland only apples are as good as in Romania, most other fruit are not. Excluding imported tropical fruit.
I kind of want to yell at him for ugly American stereotypes. He doesn’t seem to care about learning Dutch (or Flemish, or Frisian or Walloonian or w/e) because the company requires English, but he was wanting to find an International school for his kids.
Learn the local language
assholebro!Yeah, not doing that is unacceptable to me.
“Learn the local language asshole bro!”
My dad did that to me.. Is why I am multilingual in more ways than one.
Wait, why can’t I use the “Learn the local language” line on people who come here?
In the Netherlands, you are much more likely to have the locals (under 40-45 yoa) speak better English than anyone here…
Hey! Me talk pretty one day!
I’ve given up on learning English.
I just mumble and eventually people figure out what I meant.
I watched the tv news for the first time in months. They had a fifteen minute section on inflation and nothing about abortion in the US. A lot about the prices in the US, however.
I’m not really sure who is in charge here. We should officially be in a recession by July…so this is either a distraction for people to forget about how terrible the economy is, or it will wear off quickly when people are reminded how terrible the economy is.
To hopefully put a fine point on this for the peanut gallery, we have about 3-3.5 weeks to finish preparations for the recession before it’s official. There’s a lot you can accomplish in that time frame to ward off the worst if the downturn impacts you.
This may be article worthy.
Suggestions?
Article worthy for sure. I’m gonna start a thread in the forum to accumulate advice from people for a What Are You Reading style article.
Topic created. All those interested in contributing should either reply on the forum or send me an email (trashy-glibs at disengage dot co)
So much for the superiority of European education and news.
It seems to have given all the imperial provinces an excuse to talk about abortion even though it has no effect on them.
But as far as domestic reaction goes, I’m not sure we’ve seen the worst of it yet. I think it will still be less than summer 2020 but it’s always possible for a “police-involved incident” to heat things up between now and September.
Along the lines of “The won’t let me abort Elian Gonzalez!” Timing is important, so you’re probably right that they’ll need an actual case of denial or prosecution to rally behind. And if they don’t have one, they’ll manufacture one.
Ugh, let’s just keep on poking the bear. It’ll never wake up.
It’s gets better…
Do you really get to hand out flyers inside a store and I’m guessing while actually working?
Which “he” was handing out flyers?
That makes more sense.
Survey
Surveys have for years shown consistently that most Americans wanted to keep Roe in place and to see restrictions on when abortions could take place. What the court did is clearly outside the mainstream of public opinion, and that is reflected again in the NPR poll.
How many people (including you, NPR puppet) have actually read the ruling?
The whole purpose of the court, as far as the left has been concerned for decades, is precisely to do the things which are “outside the mainstream of public opinion” since if they weren’t, it would be done through the legislature instead.
But the purpose of these lies is to obfuscate the fact that they’re mad their enemies have figured out how to do it too.
Sure, most people are comfortable with first trimester abortion and varying degrees of uncomfortable the further it moves along. If the proabortion people should be angry at anyone it’s Northam and his little post birth pitch.
How many people (including you, NPR puppet) have actually read the ruling?
Since they only polled 941 people, I’m going to say the answer is a single digit number.
000 is triple digits.
I’ve read part of the ruling. I have it open, but I keep getting interrupted.
You want beta stories? Well I got a story about a beta!
All sorts of whining about having to change your name after a marriage. So tedious.
Was it Tulip who was whinging last week about women changing their names back? This story should really trigger her.
Marriage includes a free name change. You don’t have to take it. I recall my marriage form had sections for both of us: What is your name? What name do you want? I chose to keep my name. My wife chose to change hers.
I don’t care which way people go as long as they don’t hyphenate. That is just stupid.
My wife hyphenated when we first got married – her ex’s last name and mine. She eventually filed all the paperwork to drop just to mine.
Can you choose any name ?
Yes.
I could have officially changed my name to Rat On A Train.
I don’t care which way people go as long as they don’t hyphenate. That is just stupid.
English upper class hit hardest.
I think both partners should have the same last name, you are making a family. Hyphenation is stupid.
I’m in this camp. It’s less impactful than *pulls pin on grenade* merging the family finances, but it signals unity within the family. That said, 1) I don’t really care who changes to align; and 2) I don’t really care if other people disagree and keep their names. (oh, and I don’t really care if other families merge their finances or not)
To me, these mergings are best practices that show and reinforce unity, a turning over of a leaf from individuals to a family, rather than a contractual relationship.
OTOH, if a woman already has a recognizable name related to her career, why complicate things and change? That was the case with Mrs. Whiz.
Correct. If I had professional standing with my name, I wouldn’t change it.
I think a lot of women like newscasters change their names legally, but continue to use their maiden name a “stage” name. I imagine this type of thing carries over to if professions where name recognition matters.
In sports, many women start going by First Maiden Last to keep that connection.
That is a very Southern thing to do, especially in the upper classes.
Absolutely. There are always exceptions to the rule. As blc mentioned, there are a few options available in that situation, but I think there are examples of success going down all of those paths.
My best friend’s mother was a ballet teacher from before she got married. Growing up, i always knew her as Mrs. [married name], while she ran the [Maiden Name] School of Ballet.
Many years later i asked her what her legal name was, and she joked that the only people who called her her legal (married) name were her son’s friends and the phone company.
Yes, the logical result of hyphenation is a blockchain of names many generations hence. OTOH, it does make creating a family tree easier.
My solution: no name change when marrying, male children get dad’s name, female children get mom’s name.
I find Spanish naming to be an interesting approach to it.
It all sounds nice but then a Spaniard with two Russian parents adopts the Spanish convention of adding his mother’s last name as the second part of his last name and it becomes an abomination. Some Russian newspapers simply drop Fokina when they write about him.
an envelope of the paperwork needed to legally change her name back to Katie Jones
A divorce decree? Seriously, it’s weird for like 6 months and then you get over it. She sounds like a miserable person to live with if she bitched so much about her last name that her husband felt it necessary to assemble the required paperwork to fix the situation.
The writer of the article:
I mean, people might have assumed she was white with a name like Laura Miller!
OMG the horror of it all!
*leaps from bridge in a spontaneous existential crisis of identity*
This is why the immutable identity group is so important, so the individual never suffers identity anxiety.
When I was getting divorced and my lawyer basically made it obvious to my soon to be ex she would have hell to pay if she fought me on keeping the house, her passive aggressive way of getting back at me was to keep my last name. I never got that.
Stupid, destructive behavior exists on both sides of most divorces.
It really is a window into the worst pettiness of human behavior.
I didn’t even get a lawyer for mine. We were young and didn’t have much to divide so it was mostly simple. She knew she was fucking me over so I asked for a few things and got them. Otherwise it was fair. She only got petty once, when she came to get her stuff.
(I actually had a consult with a lawyer to read over the settlement her lawyer drafted to make sure I wasn’t getting fucked. But never retained them. Only paid a few hundred bucks for the consult)
^^ this.
It reminds me of road rage. Idiots who should be counting their blessings and focusing on getting home safely decide to use thousands of pounds of metal to play chicken with their opponent.
Just get out of the divorce without undue long term obligations and rebuild your life in the way you want it after the paperwork is signed. Fighting over the china accomplishes nothing.
“Fighting over the china accomplishes nothing.”
I had a good lawyer. He asked, “What’s the most important thing you want?”
ME: “My kids”
Lawyer: “OK, that’s a goal”
He was right. Kind of comical, ’cause later my ex wanted the china and silver. I was quick to comply.
My wife didn’t change her name. I don’t care in the least.
Same here.
I think Katie Schmitt has a nice ring to it.

If I/m not careful, I’m going to have to move my bed down to the new house. It’s a loooong way from move-in-ready if you’re a normie, but the disgusting carpets (and most of the smell) are gone, I finished painting the floor in my new bedroom, and I have just about created some actual living space.
I have even bushwhacked a lot of of the grass as high as Kristen Sinema’s boots in the back yard, so it’s not right up against the building. If I keep this up, I’ll be able to kick back and drink a beer outside one of these quiet evenings.
I finished painting the floor in my new bedroom – bedroom floors should be made of nice wood so why would you paint a floor?
According to previous entries in the Saga, the floor is MDF.
That’s a bold move… I wouldn’t trust MDF anything, let alone a floor. Yikes
I’m sure it’s temporary. He bought a fixer-upper and just needs to be able to move in without getting gassed out by bad carpets and disintegrating MDF.
Yup, been there done that. In process of doing it again right now. Just curious how the MDF got there in the first place.

if you’re a white woman please keep that damn handmaids tale costume at home i’m so serious
my main issue with handmaid‘s tale is that it erases black and brown ppl who have struggled with control over their reproductive rights for decades. it makes white women and primarily white women the sole oppressed class although bipoc ppl have historically been affected worse
and with the costumes it’s very performative and gives off the “i want a photo op” vibe. the money you used to buy/make this costume could’ve easily gone to an abortion fund, abortion clinic, or helping someone actually gain access to an abortion or plan c pills
I mean there may be a valid point in there somewhere
Sorry, my taxes already pay for abortions. Why the hell would I contribute to an abortion charity?

I believe it amounts to “Pay attention to MEEEEEEE!! Wahhhh!”

I know the military isn’t a jobs program – so to speak, but DoD (size being a factor) does a good job in many places with selecting contractors (presumably well supervised).
Seen a lot of folks with Downs working in the dining facilities over the years – very friendly and always great to deal with.
Yeah, I really struggle with the idea that they’re not human by some people’s logic…

bedroom floors should be made of nice wood so why would you paint a floor?
The question answers itself.
The floor is not made of nice wood. It (MDF) barely qualifies as wood, at all,
I had a similar question when the landlord’s help came in to paint the bathtub on Friday. 🫤
Paint…the bathtub?!
There was some water damage around the drain from years of dripping faucet that was more-or-less fixed at the same time. Guess it’s cheaper than giving me a new tub?
I dunno what he used – it’s not wall paint, it’s more shiny.
Maybe some kind of roll on epoxy?
Yeah. The guy speaks maybe five words of English so he was calling it “paint”. I was working so didn’t really pay attention.
Likely something like this.
What? Not watercolors?
I know they make kits for this, but I’m too lazy to look it up.

This song by the Rolling Stones, is awesome. Ol’ Mick just tears through it like nothing, and I never really even thought about how hard it might be to actually sing, much less sing while dancing and scampering around on stage.

“When we think about the United States, we make the essential error of imagining it as a single nation, a marbled mix of Red and Blue people,” Podhorzer writes. “But in truth, we have never been one nation. We are more like a federated republic of two nations: Blue Nation and Red Nation. This is not a metaphor; it is a geographic and historical reality.”
Obviously, but no one know/appreciates this.

But his appearance at the G-7 in Germany’s stunning Bavarian Alps was overshadowed by the Supreme Court ruling to overturn abortion rights, delivering a staggering blow to his presidency and leaving other world leaders to condemn — and pity — what they have watched in the United States.
The gathering at picturesque Schloss Elmau in Krun was pushed from the front pages by the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday that overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case that had protected national abortion rights for nearly 50 years. The ruling was cheered by many conservatives but, per polling, stands as broadly unpopular in the U.S. and has led to throngs of protests from angry, scared women and their allies.
——-
\Biden has forcefully condemned the Court’s decision and has pledged to use the federal government to protect the ability of women to choose. But there was little under the purview of his executive powers to help millions of American women.
The decision on abortion came just days after Biden also forcefully denounced the Supreme Court’s ruling that dramatically weakened gun control measures. The rulings, driven by justices appointed by Republican presidents who lost the popular vote, added to the sense of powerlessness around Biden, who has suffered setbacks on voting rights and climate change and has seen his poll numbers pummeled by rising inflation.
These are our final days. Make what use of them you can.

Where Chickens Dare
The 24/7 propaganda-push by the MSM is getting laughably bad. Even the slightest pretense of objectivity has disappeared.
If you think the Europeans are primarily concerned about American abortion and gun laws at this particular juncture, then you are a willful idiot.
Adding to that, who gives a shit what they think. Didn’t we fight a war so we don’t have to be concerned with that?
Yeah, I find it kind of enraging yet funny?
What’s the point of being the world most powerful country if we need to be concerned about what a bunch of weenies think?
After two years of wear a mask and get a vax whether you like or not, I really can’t muster a fuck to give about the “my body, my choice” bullshit. The authoritarian left not only ditched that argument permanently, but ripped it out with a coat hanger, drowned it and buried it. You can’t have it back now. I’ve had moral misgivings about abortion for a while now, but was largely fine with the status quo as I generally am suspicious of the government sticking its nose anywhere. Well, if it ain’t my body to decide whether I put a fucking cloth in front of my face to do some normal daily activities, then it ain’t your right to dispose of a human you created through your irresponsible behavior.
That and going from “a regretful choice” to “shout your abortion”.
The other cliche is “If men could get pregnant, there would be no restrictions.” Why, then, are there plenty of pro-life women and plenty of pro-choice men?
I feel like something broke about 20 years ago where sloganeering became an acceptable substitute for a logical response. Sloganeering was always a thing, but it was an avatar for a much deeper argument. Now there’s no deeper argument.

Green Day Star Billie Joe Armstrong says he’s renouncing his U.S. citizenship during London concert in wake of SCOTUS overruling Roe
He has always been such a basket case.
He is a fake American, just like he is a fake punk. No big loss.
He also wants to be a minority.
I think he’s struggling to see the longview.
I guess masturbation has lost it’s fun. Sad.

If you KC weirdos would stop slathering sauce on everything and accept the Memphis Dry Rub, you wouldn’t need abortion clinics.
Oh honey. My favorite sauce has enough vinegar and paprika to induce an abortion.
And don’t you NoDaks think you can set up some border patrol to stop abortions! King Walz has decreed that Minnesoda will not help prosecute those brave women who get abortions here.
Is anyone seriously talking about prosecuting women for having abortions in other states? This seems to be LARPing to me.
I’ve not heard a peep about it. I’m sure there will be some hard-righties who suggest it, but I can’t see it passing in any of the states bordering Minny.
Kavanaugh’s concurrence specifically states that that would be impermissible for states to try.
That will not stop the propagandists from saying it is happening or calling for it to happen….
People will do stupid.
Now do hate speech.
No. In fact, there aren’t any laws prosecuting women for having abortions at all.
Look asshole. Facts have no place over my feelings!! – Some Harpie somewhere
I could see, say, a bf wanting to charge a gf for murder if she aborted their child.
The “abortion” laws are really about that though. you’d have to go a different route.
Penna. sends its Liquor Control Board agents to nearby Delaware liquor stores (usually around the holidays) to jot down the license numbers of PA vehicles. Then they alert the State Police who stop the vehicles once they cross the border to Penna. Judging by the amount of wine, beer and hard stuff that “friends of mine” have purchased in Delaware and brought back to Penna. unmolested, the enforcement effort leaks like the boats transporting your gun collections across the lake. Now, some saps who load up a truck with booze do get caught. The crime is actually having the untaxed booze in Penna. With abortion, the “crime” is occurring in another state so one wonders how it could be prosecuted in the state where abortion is restricted.
The only abortion clinic in the state is moving a mile or two east. The reality on the ground in NoDak will be ignored moving forward. We will be held up as an example of women being put in cages, or dying, or something, when practically speaking, not a thing will have changed regarding access to abortion.
Interstate travel is difficult for the poors.

Hyperinflation at home. And the dollar is the reserve currency, so massive problems with international trade and other country’s currencies. Worldwide depression seems likely to me. With associated political and social turmoil.
Absolutely and coming soon. The other side of the coin, default, ends up with the same result. We’re getting close to the mud being at the tops of our boots, in spite of Powell/Yellen et al.

Love the dating profile, OMWC. It’s intriguing enough that you might even get a quirky taker, even if only to snark with.
My day started at 6 am. Having to give the husband eye drops every 6 hours to prep for his surgery tomorrow. Then three types of drops every 6 hours for a couple of weeks. He should be able to do it himself but he has become reliant on my nagging, I fear. I hadn’t realized that until yesterday; he needs me to nag so that he can bumble around in blissful ignorance. I’m not a fan of this arrangement.
At some point, you have to hold your hands up and say, “Not my problem.”
What kind of surgery is he having?
Cataract. He’s legally blind in his right eye, it’s so bad. The doc is highly optimistic that he will have HUGE improvement after the surgery and recovery.
Left eye is in 2 weeks. Then he can go get a driver’s license!!

Another good one:

I’m about to change my mind about post birth abortions…
Obviously, she is referring to herself and not the baby she is carrying.
So sad for the baby. I guess that means she doesn’t sing or talk to it yet, that she doesn’t feel love for it yet, that she doesn’t place her hand on her belly to feel its movements, to connect with it…
A cretin like her would probably reply that “I do that with my cat, but that doesn’t make the cat human either.”
I haven’t been around all weekend, so I didn’t get any input in yet.
I’m pro-life, but more specifically, I’m anti-abortion. However, that is my personal take, not political. I’m not 100% sure of my political take honestly.
What I thought for a long time was: It’s best not to change the laws. Why? Because pro-life believes the fetus is a child. Pro-choice does not. I though the best way to lower abortions (other than contraception) was to change hearts, make pro-choicers believe what I believe. And I thought if the law changed it would just polarize people and winning hearts wouldn’t happen. Changing the way people feel about abortion is more important to me than anything.
But over the last few days, I think the pro-choice crowd is doing more to change people’s hearts than anyone. What I’m seeing is such vehement fervor that people that used to be mildly pro-choice or neutral are moving away from pro choice because they are batshit crazy. I still believe changing hearts is the best way. But, the method to get there might just be outlawing.
I’m saying this a lot lately, but these people are not winning anyone over. They’re losing people who were on the fence or leaning in their direction.
How the fuck can these people expect to be taken seriously?
There’s a mounting body of evidence on how having or being denied an abortion affects pregnant people, including impacts on their mental health and the finances of them and their children. The effects on their male partners have received less attention.
In the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, experts say that no longer should be the case.
“It’s really naïve to think that the repeal of Roe is only going to impact women and pregnant people,” said Dr. Bethany Everett, a professor of sociology at the University of Utah.
While the issue disproportionately impacts people who can get pregnant, Dr. Everett says it’s important to look at abortion access from all sides, as limits on abortion access likely will have broader implications for society as a whole.
“People who can get pregnant” are somehow or other a different category than “women”?
Men cause pregnancy by casting their evil male gaze upon their unsuspecting victims, who have no say or responsibility in the matter.Can we trivialize and objectify women some more, please?

Hypotheses already exist.
What we know: The lipid nanoparticles carrying the mRNA message attach themselves to the ovaries and testes after escaping from the injection site. They quite often cause inflammation.
We also know the mRNA vaccines suppress sperm production for at least five months (no data after that point in the study). We don’t know what they do to the eggs or general ovary function yet, but we do know they interfere with the menstrual cycle.
But get your booster.
This is the West’s Chernobyl.
I’ve read that and I wouldn’t discount it. That said it could be something else.
Given politics if it is the case I expect it to be buried until it can’t. But given the Biden laptop, I don’t have high hopes even at that point.
That’s going to end up a reality that can’t be buried, but some people likely will.
And apparently its not just Germany.
On the other hand, birth rates are notoriously susceptible to general optimism and well-being, so the malaise around the pandemic probably accounts for some of that. But it seems well outside historical dips in birthrates during recessions, etc.
And if abortion is ever going to be outlawed, it will be because of this.
Sorry Greta, Olivia Rodrigo went turbo abortion on everyone and they forgot to clean up.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/high-school-football-coach-scores-big-win-supreme-court-post-game-prayer
I’ve never understood this “Coaches and teachers aren’t allowed to pray” stuff. Who cares? If you’re not religious, just don’t join in. If you cave to peer pressure from your other teammates, that’s on you. As long as they don’t force it, what’s the problem?
This coach was an asshole and it was the wrong move by the court. He made a spectacle in the middle of the field every game and encouraged students to join in. You want to bet that they felt pressure to join by the coach and that those who didn’t were punished by the coach with less play time?
Bottom line is that his employer told him to knock it off and he refused. You get the axe for that in the real world.
Root Cause Analysis says this is why we need to end public education.
I think the case shows the fundamental incoherence of current 1A doctrine on religion. At one time, there was space between “free exercise” and “no establishment”. Current doctrine has removed that air-gap, and now the two clauses have significant overlap. Is a state ordering an employee not to pray publicly at a state function an infringement on free exercise? Is a state employee praying publicly at a state function an establishment of religion? You can see this over and over in other areas, including notably various laws on whether employees of health care institutions can refuse to participate in (wait for it) abortions. The underlying cause is the expansion of the state into so many areas of our lives, so that much now has a state component (even if only funding).
They needed to express the concern as you did – stop pressuring students to do things, rather than stop praying, icky person.
You wonder if the district doesn’t have any lawyers…

This is what happens when your movie doesn’t suck.
Tom Cruise’s highly-anticipated film Top Gun: Maverick achieved another impressive milestone at the global box office this weekend as it crossed the $1 billion mark.
In addition to becoming the 59-year-old Risky Business actor’s most successful film of all time, the sequel to 1986’s Top Gun became the first movie of 2022 to reach that rare benchmark after just 31 days in theaters.
That was a very fun ride.
It was. And there was “diversity” in the cast without hitting you over the head with it.
Enough diversity that it looked normal. I was happy there was a nerd dude.

SCOTUS ‘burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had’ with Roe reversal: Warren | ABC News
I thought questioning the institutions was ‘muh-insurrectionisms’.
Quite the contrary, by removing bad precedent, it begins the slow crawl towards restoring it’s legitimacy. There’s still a long way to go.
I’m not sure what the purpose of pointing out their hypocrisy serves anymore and I’ve done it a lot myself.
We’re probably better served by preparing for the civil violence instead.
I’d be fine with reducing the power of the SC. But she’s fine with that level of power as long as it serves her.
Fun with numbers:
In her study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, Dr. Everett and her team found that young men who were involved with a pregnancy and whose partners had an abortion were nearly four times more likely to graduate from college than those whose partners gave birth.
Her research also suggests that males under the age of 20 who were affected by an abortion were likely to earn more money than those who became parents but did not live with their child. Earnings between those who became parents and lived with their child and those whose partners terminated a pregnancy were about the same, Everett said, possibly because those who became teen fathers entered the workforce sooner.
“But still, you likely would see later down the road economic capital build among those who were able to pursue their educational careers,” she adds.
Those differences are significant but not surprising. According to Dr. Everett, previous research generally has linked delayed parenthood with greater educational achievement and future socioeconomic status for both men and women.
“Parents should really think hard about not just what the repeal of Roe is going to mean for their daughters, but what it’s going to mean for their sons,” Dr. Everett said. “Their sons may become dads much earlier than they’re prepared for.”
Let’s contort and cherrypick the data some more.
You can’t expect some hick plumber, or electrician, or auto “tech” to provide for a family, or partner with the mother of his children to raise them. That’s crazy. You need a sociology degree for that.
Everything revolves around getting that college degree dude.
Without it, you’re going to have to get out from behind a laptop once in a while.
I look at that statistic and go “Looks like guys who don’t murder their kids get jobs and take responsibility sooner, as opposed to the collegiate dregs who shirk it.”
What are the numbers for the people who used contraception or abstained, and nobody got pregnant?
I’m guessing they don’t support her political opinions.
Why, its almost like different life choices lead to different paths through life.
And I think comparing “life with kids and less money” to “life without kids and more money” is kind of an apples and oranges thing.

@Brooksie, I do not wish burst pipes upon you.
I have a different take on this Roe v Wade thing. For decades this has been a constant tug of war at the national level. Republicans get in, they pass laws, Democrats get in, they pass laws, and someone’s constantly upset about it. Now this becomes a matter for the states. Some will ban abortions, and some (much to people’s horror) will allow them right up to or after birth. But even if there is a Red wave, the Republicans at the national level won’t be able to do anything about abortion laws in California, Illinois, or New York. If anything those laws are going become more entrenched and harder to change.
As usual in politics, people aren’t looking at things in the long term. If you’re pro-choice, this was actually a win.
I look forward to losing abortion as a wedge issue at a national level.
Me too. Fight it out at the state level, where people have more of a chance to affect laws. The Red vs Blue country discussed above is only happening because too many issues have been elevated to the national level.
But this is exactly why the overturn is a loss to the pro-choice string pullers. Keeping it alive as a national issue drives the Dems money and votes. No one is going to pour money into keeping abortion legal in California or to implement late term abortion in Mississippi. Change to state-level abortion laws will be a meaningless effort in all but a handful states.
Keeping it alive as a national issue drives the Dems money and votes.
Oh, I don’t think its going away as a national issue. Both the Team Red and Team Blue fundraising wings of the Uniparty will have their national abortion bills, which always mysteriously somehow fail in Congress. The last thing either fundraising operation wants is for a lucrative issue to die away. So you can be sure it won’t.
I dunno. Congress has been perfectly fine with ignoring abortion, except for slapfights about funding Planned Parenthood and the like. The fight so far has been in the states and the federal courts. Now the federal courts are out of it. If you want national action on abortion, you’re going to need laws passed in DC. The former sideshow national issue of “appointing Justices who will support/overturn Roe” is gone. Now its a national issue of “electing Congressholes and Presidents who support/restrict abortion”.
Sure. Go with that.
