We need more politicians to turn up randomly on OnlyFans.
*peruses current crop of politicians*
No, we do not.
I dunno, if more politicians were on OnlyFans, the average senator’s age would drop by 60 years and we probably wouldn’t be living under the heels of extra-wide diabetic shoes payable by Medicare, like we do now.
I’m guessing people on OnlyFans have a fondness for capitalism.
They have a fondness for money. That doesn’t mean they like *spit* capitalism.
This one does, if you’re into it. (TW: Tres Bait)

As we wait to see what will happen at the end of the year in Brazil, where Lula da Silva may return to power, the other five strongest economies in the region —Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru— are governed, or will be from August 7, with the inauguration of Gustavo Petro, by presidents who like to think of themselves as being on the left.
Sounds like some countries are in for a spell of “bad luck.” Plus ça change…
No, they just won’t implement leftist economic systems correctly.

If by “aerial” they mean the asteroid Psyche, it’s going to take a lot of time and investment to recover that.

Me too. As a commodity that supposedly acts as a store of value in the minds of many, the price of gold appears to be immune to mere forces of supply and demand. Can it be possible that its price is manipulated that effectively behind the scenes?
I believe the gold market is the most manipulated on the planet. Every central bank has a finger in that pie.
The road from exploration to export is a long and rocky one for gold. Especially, I would imagine, in central Africa.
market is the most manipulated on the planet
$US does a spit-take
Interesting. Gold is manipulated because of its second order effect on currencies. I’m willing to entertain the idea that gold is manipulated as part of a larger currency market manipulation strategy.
Up 480% over 20 years, seems okay to me.
I think the biggest draw is that it will always hold some value.
Honestly, I hadn’t checked in so long, I was kind of surprised to see its up to $1800+. I’m still kind of surprised to see its basically plateaued there for the last couple of years.

This reminds me of a book in the Star Wars EU in which some Sith crash land on a planet populated by humanoids. The population never really advances cuz their planet has so few metals on it.
I’ve always thought that a sci-fi series set in a civilization that developed only a few billion years after the re-ionization of the early Universe would be interesting, because there’d be so few metals heavier than iron around (the Universe wouldn’t have had time to go through waves and waves of novas and supernovas to create metals heavier than iron).
How would such a civilization develop some of the things we take for granted?
It was a very interesting story, spanning many generations of the crashed Sith as they rise to power through their use of the dark side alone, being unable to utilize technology or repair their ship.
The book is, Lost Tribe of the Sith, The Collected Stories, by John Jackson Miller.
The Moat in Gods Eye kind of deals with a species like that. In this case they have no heavy metals and needed to go to Fusion before fission and high tech ceramic instead of metal. This is due to a plot element that would be a spoiler.
Yeah, I really liked that different technology in The Mote.
Anyone know the story behind this?
Tesla is incinerating cash at an exponential rate. However, it looks like they are doing long, long model runs with continuous improvement. The way the new Y is structured suggests their variable cost per unit is going to approach something amazing. Reminds of the Model T.
Tesla Model Y 4680 Structural Pack OUT!!!
This is also the largest cylindrical battery in industry usage with a good trade off of cost and energy density. However, long term reliability is an open question.
Musk plays big. Consequence for failure here are severe. Success helps insure industry leading costs. I’m ver much reminded of Ford when it first started. Seemingly with similar labor issues…
I sold a whole buncha TSLA stock last year to buy my Nevada house and pay all other debt off, some of which had been hanging over my head for years. I was very fortunate (all luck, no skill) that I had purchased in 2018 at $260 (BEFORE the 5 way stock split, so really more like $52) and sold at $1200.
But I have been buying again here and there since I think it’s undervalued at $650. There is a new split coming soon so that will lower the barrier to entry for new investors.
People forget that it’s more than a car company. On the other hand, the Left now hates Musk, so I fear they will try to trip TSLA up through underhanded means.
In Nihongo no less.

https://www.aier.org/article/review-the-great-experiment-by-yasha-mounck/
Interesting how he admits that this is something that has never happened before. And blithely ignores the serious problems of the first outcomes occurring. Not to mention I see plenty of evidence of the first two outcomes…
Also wouldn’t this highly ethnically heterogeneous democracy require a large amount of nationalism and conservatism?
South Korea and Japan spring to mind. And skimming the article WTF is equality?
Certainly both the above don’t have gender equity as we define it here.
Culturally homogenous (on the big stuff) I think is a requirement to avoid the first two outcomes. The degree to which you can be “ethnically” (whatever that means) heterogenous and culturally homogenous on what matters is, I think, the difficult question.
I find it interesting that the successful outcome is a “shared” democracy. Sounds like ethnic collectivism is baked into Mounck’s pie, since I don’t know what “shared” could refer to other than the various ethnic groups. Plain old “color-blind” democracy is just democracy, not “shared” democracy.
The degree to which you can be “ethnically” (whatever that means) heterogenous and culturally homogenous on what matters is, I think, the difficult question.
Today I’ve been tossing around the idea of playing off the tone of your Constitution article and doing a critique of multiculturalism. “Multiculturalism: the god that failed” may be a good second installment in that series.
“Multiculturalism: I am legion.”
Yes, please!
Good idea. Problems with multiculturalism include how they caused liberartarians to dismiss all social and cultural issues as reactionary bigotry. And how classical liberals were pretty xenophobic and parochial. How many old English classical liberals didn’t complain about how bad France and Catholics are and disliked the use of French and Latin?
“caused liberartarians to dismiss all social and cultural issues as reactionary bigotry”
Again, maybe Reason editor style Libertarianism. Which isn’t really Libertarianism at all. There are some Ls that care about one or two Libertarian issues; but are otherwise raging far left progressives. IE, they don’t actually support smaller government, free markets or personal liberty.
This is precisely why the Mises takeover of the LP removed language related to “anti-racism” and abortion from the party platform.
Is it Huntington’s “Clash of Civilizations” book that tries to take on this subject, or am I thinking of something else?
What I recall was one thesis that the US is pursuing internal multiculturalism while somehow assuming the rest of the world wants to be just line us, thus projecting uniformity internationally.
And the point is that it’s not logically consistent and also not working.
https://fee.org/resources/individualism-a-deeply-american-philosophy/amp
Isn’t the notion of American individualism rather nationalistic though? There is a distinct geographic area and a distinct people that have a certain character. And again awfully conservative since this is an ancient value that they don’t want to be seriously undermined.
Also I’m not sure the current authoritarian wave can be described as stagnant…

Turdeau Jr. Legalized weed and banned gay conversion therapy and supports immigration and abortion yet he is taking away my guns, my single-use plastics and imposes Vax and masks on me. How do libertarians explain that?
Why the hell should we have to explain that?
Because libertarians believe that gay rights and pot legalization are supposed to lead to social tolerance and less government control of people’s lives?
Ah, the libertarian monolith.
Really? So we’re all marching in lockstep?
Are there libertarians that don’t support those things or think they will lead to intolerance and more government control?
Pretty weak troll. 2/10
I know you can do better.
Should I go around and ask everyone in the world who describes themselves as a libertarian, and compile their answers?
Look, I get that this is kind of your thing – drop in some random factlet or story and say “how do libertarians explain this?” Now I can take that one of two ways, since the written word is without a lot of the cues we get from speaking. You could be going, “Hey, guys, I ran across this, and was wondering what you think?” Or, you could be going “Hey, you libertarians, explain this zinger! Gotcha!”
From your phrasing and your responses, I’m guessing the latter, but I’m open to being proven wrong.
Now you’ve been doing this for some time. Sometimes the stuff you post actually provokes some interesting discussion, but usually it doesn’t. So what I’m curious about is, at the end of the day, what are you really trying to accomplish here?
Because it seems to me it’s about time for you to ascend to the summit of Mount What’s-Your-Fucking-Point.

You know, I’ve always thought Libertarians were a weird breed, but they got nothing on the ones that live in Winston’s head.
Ugh, maybe Reason editors believe this but that doesn’t make Canada a Libertarian paradise.
I believe you have cause and effect exactly backwards there Winnie.
So a society that is tolerant toward weed and not towards guns is…?
To answer your original question, Trudeau is an authoritarian. Any “rights” he gives you he thinks he may take away just as easily. In this phase of progressivism, rights are an illusion. To my point, weed and butt-sex are not giving you limited government or real social tolerance. The latter must come first.
Social tolerance and limited government lead to gay right, guns, weed and anything else your libertine brain might dream up. Not the other way around (except guns, those actually may have a correlation with limiting government.) Whether or not that’s a good thing is another discussion. The definition of tolerance has changed too much. Like “fairness” and “equality”, the left has decided that “tolerance” and “acceptance” are interchangeable out of mere convenience mutilating .
a Brave New World?
Europe?
Canada?
Well the idea was that once we like Gays and weed we would stop judging people for being different and want the government to leave everybody alone.
See, there’s your problem. Who said we’d stop judging people? Just because the govt isn’t persecuting some minority doesn’t mean we can’t individually judge the shit out of them. At least some, and others who won’t. Where do you get this ABSOLUTIST homogeneity? I don’t even think Marxists are as rigid as you are.
Actually I’m critiquing the idea of social tolerance. There are always people who are going to be disliked. Being intolerant to those who you don’t like instead of those people you like or are indifferent to us different from the intolerant society how?
What’s actually happening is that we are still judging people for being different but we no longer think being gay or smoking weed is one of those things which should cause social shaming. And we still want the government to interfere in people lives but being gay and smoking is no longer one of those bad behaviors that should be stopped.
What’s your point on this Winston? I still fail to see any connection between pot on demand, firearms on demand, ass sex on demand, and abortion on demand. Except possibly that ass sex on demand negates the need for the abortion one.
Forget it dude. He may as well be asking why the libertarian support for the creation of legalized gambling in Nevada didn’t end Jim Crow laws in the Deep South.
‘What’s actually happening is that we are still judging people for being different but we no longer think being gay or smoking weed is one of those things which should cause social shaming.’
It almost seems like humans are imperfect creatures…
No, those are the result of social tolerance. Also, depends on which gay rights you mean. Getting the government out of your bedroom is a win for straight people, too. ENDA creates accredited victim groups, quotas, and climates of fear. Marriage? Good from an equal protection standpoint, but also perpetuates government involvement in something it has no business in; registering domestic partnerships being a different thing.
Also, what Animal said above.
He’s a tyrant who likes weed?
I dunno about explaining it, but GTFO while you still can.
Where to go though? The problem with globalist authoritarianism is that they want to make everywhere a shithole.
That’s simply not true. This is another one of those handy cases where redefining a word on the fly can solve the problem. Change shithole to mean “any place not under complete control of the globalists” and voila! There isn’t a single shithole under the care of our better’s watchful eye.
How are your sea legs?
He’s an unprincipled dickhead who does what’s currently fashionable?
He is a member of The Liberal Party of Canada so that goes without saying? That’s been there MO since the 1920s I would say…
The last Liberal who did something unfashionable was Laurier opposing the draft in WWI however that was due to Quebec plus he was in opposition at the time and the Anglo Liberals supported it.
Fun fact: Women couldn’t vote in France until 1944 but they could vote in Nazi Germany and in the USSR. And Women could vote in Maoist China before they could in Switzerland. How would J. S. Mill explain that?

First interview question: what are tags vis a vis Microsoft Word? Can’t answer? No job.
To be fair, I have no clue what tags are in word. I’ve never heard of such a thing.

As related to section 508/accessibility they’re called tags.

*withdraws application for fedgov document jockey position*
Good, because I can’t take any more people who don’t know how to do the job for which they are hired.
I’m pretty sure I could get a job description for “Document Jockey” through at my office. How hard would it be for you to do that for Our Masters?
I would LOVE to write honest job descriptions for a living. I could pour a lot of hostility into them!
Most of the job advertisements I’ve been looking at are extremely difficult to understand. Maybe that means I don’t have the requisite skillset, but a lot of them are almost gibberish, so I just apply if it sounds vaguely relevant.
I had no idea how messed up the hiring process had become. First I’ve got to beat the resume screening bots and then the HR person who may not even know what I’m applying for. This has been quite the lesson.
I had no idea how messed up the hiring process had become. First I’ve got to beat the resume screening bots and then the HR person who may not even know what I’m applying for. This has been quite the lesson.
There’s two workarounds that can help. The first is a unique cover letter that makes you stand out. Some hiring managers won’t read them, but I read every cover letter and gave an interview and subsequent job offer to a candidate based on their cover letter who wouldn’t have gotten an initial interview based on their resume alone.
The second is reaching out to employee already on the team of the position you are interested in before you apply (has to be before). Check out LinkedIn for this information. That employee can put in a word to the hiring manager, and there’s often an hiring incentive for the employee to do so. If it seems like a good match, I tell HR to be on the lookout for the candidate’s resume and that automatically passes the candidate through the screening bots and HR screener. It’s like a fast track pass where you go to the head of the line.
I am currently tasked with riding herd on dozens of physicists and engineers who need to be writing test plans and test procedures for our big desert project. Across 4 different government labs.
The “template” they provided is nothing of the sort; styles are a mess, no automatic fields etc.
This is gonna be painful.
Also, so many of these guys have wallowed in academia for so long that they write in ridiculously unnecessary flowery language to try to sound “smart”. I wield the Handbook of Technical Writing and the Chicago Manual of Style like cudgels with these knotheads.
I could probably make decent scratch hiring myself as a 508 compliance expert. Then I can continue to rant about how bureaucrats don’t even know the LAWS THEY’RE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW.
There are people who make a living suing government agencies for ADA violations.
There is no reason a web developer should know more about this than a “communications specialist”

Ukraine announces $750 billion ‘recovery plan’ as Russia hones in on Donetsk
“The reconstruction of Ukraine is not a local project, is not a project of one nation, but a common task of the entire democratic world — all countries, all countries who can say they are civilized”
That’s a real nice Western Civilization you got there. Be a real shame if something happened to it, like say information about all your politicians using a certain war torn nation as their personal money laundry mats. All that can go away for a cool 3/4 trillion.
Is it possible to believe he’s blackmailing people while also condemning the Russians?
I don’t have a lot to say on this subject because 1. I don’t know much of a damn thing about it and 2. Every conversation I read about it turns into accusations of being an apologist/sympathizer for one side or another.
What a mess.
Not only is it possible, it seems to me to be the Occam’s Razor. How is handing over goddamn near a trillion dollars to a known corruptocracy that is likely about to be conquered within ten thousand miles of the interest of any western nation and especially the taxpayers of said nations? It took Afghanistan nearly a decade to run up that kind of nation building bill and they had some of the most egregious embezzlement and laundering schemes ever devised. (Look into the “ghost army”.)
If the bills to fund any of that actually start to look like they’re going to pass, there needs to be someone with some balls to give some push back and ask some serious questions. Unfortunately there’s only one Massie.
Rand tried to attach an audit amendment to the last big giveaway bill and got shot down.

I find it bizarre to read that statement. Until very recently libertarians seemed to assume that is impossible to “destroy a culture or a nation” or thought that this things occurring was an unalloyed good.
And until very recently that notion of Hollywood killing morality would have been considered church lady nonsense:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l6EI2fWOFN8
“Liberalism is a way of regulating violence and allowing diverse populations to live peacefully with one another.”
“Liberalism protects basic human dignity, and in particular human autonomy – the ability of each individual to make choices.”
“Liberalism promotes economic growth and all the good things that come from growth by protecting property rights and freedom to transact.”
Fukuyama doesn’t actually believe in any of that. He believes in “muscular liberalism” or the unceasing and impenetrable belief that he knows best for everyone, everywhere, no matter how many people have to die to save them.

Fuck.
My oldest is 29. She was a PITA between 14-17. She got better around 18.
My current 15yo daughter can sometimes be a PITA. Unfortunately, most of the problem is parenting/grand-parenting fails. Too much giving her almost everything with almost no requirement on her end. She’s smart. Straight As. But lazy. I came into the equation around 7yo and been fighting add more disciple to the equation.
Listen, kids need love and encouragement but if it’s all that and no discipline, you end up with lazy, entitled brats. Or, your average Millennial and whatever we call this current bunch of soft, lazy brats.

So why is there is freedom receding and at the hands of the globalists at that?
And the Chicoms will let this happen how?
As far I can tell the “freedom trade will liberate the world” argument is almost entirely based on what happened in mid-Victorian England. The English Liberals benefitted enormously from it despite the Repeal of the Corn Laws being done by a Conservative and the Liberals immediately gained power and held it almost continously for almost 30 years.
They certainly aren’t talking about the US which had high Tariffs when the Republicans where in power. Or Germany where Bismarck imposed tariffs after Unification. Or France where Napoleon III signed the free trade treaty and the Third Republic imposed tariffs.
Cheap energy will free the world.
First things first.
But then we can’t control the population! If we can reduce them back to an agrarian society or better yet, a day-to-day subsistence society, they might get IDEAS.
