As I may have, ahem, mentioned, I have been making my way through the world of AWFLs. The big disadvantage is that if I have to do Links and I’m unexpectedly, ahem, detained in an unfamiliar domicile, I have to sneak into the bathroom and do them on my phone. This is an exceptionally painful process, so things will be a bit abbreviated.
Including, alas, the birthday list, but still, let’s note a backwards-looking guy; a guy who bragged about trespassing; a guy who wrote plays about animals; a guy who should have dangled from the lamppost next to where LBJ and Nixon should have dangled; the greatest general in Air Force history; a guy who had communications issues; a guy who played the same roles as Zero Mostel and Jack Nicholson (great trivia points); the most prominent member of a long-time Mafia family; a guy who proves that atheists can be assholes, too; another guy who did one good thing and is still living off that; a woman named Ching Chong; and a guy you can blame for the shittiest aspects of the internet.

Frankly, I suspect I would as well. Though the kid certainly needs some anger management, I don’t buy into the whole “you can only shoot X times after being assaulted” thing.
Probably wrong of me — but I’m certainly fine with the left’s politics taking themselves out of the dating scene (or they can date each other… at least arrange meetings to pet each other’s cats or something). Most of them fall way over the crazy line anyway. Conservative or moderate women must be laughing their butts off, and the mail order bride industry is almost certainly planning for an uptick. MGTOW of course will increase for those who don’t want to take that option. Surely a recipe for social stability, too… (probably part of why they want to feminize all the young men they’re pissing off (and on) so badly).
Morning, reprobates… enjoy your explorations, OMWC.
“I’d vote to acquit”
Where is the line drawn? If someone tells me they are going to kick my ass (in a not friendly manner) I have to take their word for it. If the threat comes with a stick or rock my only defense is to have more firepower. I can’t wait for the actual contact.
If the wife were gone tomorrow I would give absolutely no thought to seeking out female companionship. The world is far too mad for me.
Same here.
Make it a trio, I think I am on my last one.
But, if you keep your politics on the DL, and ride the lightning, so to speak, you have an easy out.
“at least arrange meetings to pet each other’s cats”
These euphemisms…
I’d have to see video, or at least have a better description of the scene.
Once again, you can use lethal force to defend yourself against the threat of death or serious injury. Being punched in the face might represent that level of threat, or it might not.
My default is “Don’t start nuthin’, won’t be nuthin’.” I’m not real excited about prosecutors minutely parsing slo-mo video to determine what a “reasonable limpe-wristed soy-boy” might do. Sure, there might be something egregious on there, but a tie goes to the defender.
I know there’s a movement of bitter, bitter women decrying “passport bros”, or those who leave the country to find a wife instead of marrying an American woman.
I don’t blame these men one single bit.
Well, there’s your first red flag right there.
She did him a HUUUUUUUGE favor by vowing to leave him alone.
My eyesight is so bad that I can’t legally drive at night, due to an incurable genetic disorder that affects my retinas. That means LASIK won’t help. You figure that’s why my dating life has always been basically nonexistent? I would hate to think women were really that shallow.
That’s a perfectly legitimate reason, and I trust you wouldn’t mind being upfront about that when arranging a date. It eliminates “I don’t have a job” or “My license got suspended for DUI” as the reason you can’t drive yourself to an evening date.
I’m open about it, but it shows up in other ways, like me having to basically bury my face in a menu to read it. I doubt I could really hide it if I wanted to.
Apologies for the land mine you accidentally stepped on; it’s a bit of a touchy subject.
No apology necessary – I was admittedly being…well… glib. Thank you for the reminder that there are many reasons why someone wouldn’t be able to drive – including plenty of reasons that have nothing to do with their desirability as a potential dating partner.
Yes. Yes they are that shallow.
Would she have been ready to dump him if she saw his home reeked of wealth? If he was a successful entrepreneur AND a college professor?
/Asking for a friend.
I’d date her but I’m a masochist who’s always wanted to bag a shrill harpy who’d keep my balls in a vice over political matters. She seems just the thing.
My thoughts exactly.
She seems nice.
They’re the new and improved bible-thumping church ladies.
My wife has a friend from work like that. Amazingly she is still single.
Revolutionary idea right there.
It’s amazing to watch young people navigate dating nowadays (and I say this as a socially retarded total fucking clown who basically never dated). One of the younger fellas with whom I occasionally play video games was talking about how shitty Tinder is. So I ask him “Well, why don’t you try something else?” And he replies “Like what? I’ve already tried Bumble. Where else are you going to meet anybody?” It literally never even crossed his mind that you could meet a woman without a fucking app on your social credit metering device. I guess with religion eliminated as both a common cultural understanding and a social institution it makes sense. It’s funny to see kids in their 20s reinventing a secular version of church to share common ideology and meet people.
I assume bars still exist. Sheesh.
The large number of kids going to college, combined with the efforts of those colleges to enforce penalties on social interaction between young adults has had some perverse results.
I am not religious at all, but I have recommended church as a great place to meet women to single friends. Unless you are a die hard atheist, it doesn’t really matter whether or not you are a true believer, it is about community.
Also, bars still work. People like getting out and talking to people, face to face. Sure, go out with a group of friends, but it still isn’t uncommon to talk to, and get the phone number of, single people. Then, do things in public that make others feel secure and, if they are worried about it, safe. Have coffee, lunch, stuff like that.
Oh, and don’t be a damn know-it-all. Listen to them, ask them questions, things like that.
If a single person weren’t comfortable attending church, I’d recommend volunteering, taking classes, or attending other group gatherings whose primary purpose is something other than finding a dating partner. That way you’re more likely to find folks with common interests (and, ideally, at least some shared values.)
JFC. It’s not even “he voted for OMB!”.
Nothing short of having identical political views is acceptable.
That dude did indeed dodge a bullet.
More to the point – he actually disliked Trump and didn’t vote for him, and that STILL wasn’t good enough for her.
Most of the women I dated were liberal, including the woman I married, and we got along fine. A scorched earth approach to politics like this is gonna pop up in non-political topics. Stay the fuck away from women like that.
Shorter: Prolefeed’s First Rule of Dating – don’t waste time chasing people who aren’t really into you exactly the way you are. Plenty of other choices out there.
This. My wife is quite liberal, and we get along great. We do have a ground rule; no talking politics directly.
Also, no yard signs. Except for “Presidents come and go, but the Wu-Tang is forever.”

I can just imagine the knock on the bathroom door – “are you okay”?
Go way! Reprobating!
“Just… one… more……. link. Ah. there, done!”
I was wondering the same thing. Why was the bathroom door even closed?
So, a few years ago I attended a leadership conference for the EAA at their headquarters in Oshkosh. They have a very nice center center there for meetings with guest accomodations, but the size of the group was such that we had to double up on rooms.
My roommate was a nice guy in his 80s. In the middle of the night I awoke, disoriented, to hear him getting out of bed in the dark. He walked into the bathroom (which was right across from my bed), left the door open and proceeded to take a massive sloppy shit in full view of me. As soon as I realized what was going on, I averted my eyes and covered my head with the blanket, but the damage was done.
Sorry, dude, but at least I washed my hands afterward.
You’re just a young nancy boy who has never been to jail or in the military.

When I was a sophomore in HS I went on a ski trip with my church youth group. The bathrooms there did not have doors on the stalls, nor heating, so everyone in the bathroom not only was looking right at you as you take a dump, but also at the steam your warm turd made in the cold water.

Ray of sunshine 😀
In today’s (yesterday’s? who knows…) rigged political prosecution news. All above board, citizens… move along. Nothing to see here. This is fine!
Unsurprising, Mayor Dimwit notoriously instructed the metro police to stand down when Antifa was trying to burn down St. John’s Chruch.
The Federal Bureau of Insurrection had help.
This is still a rather charitable interpretation of the evidence. What justification could the cops give for their behavior? They were just trying to blend in by escalating what was happening?
Seeding a crowd with agitators is a time tested American law enforcement tradition. In a big enough crowd there’s always someone who’ll take the bait.
“Kevin explained he was struck and decided to shoot but looking back, he realized it was egregious.”
I disagree.
Same. I’d also vote to acquit. Keep your fucking hands to yourself and don’t be a thieving cunt and you’ll never have to worry if getting shot 10 times was “excessive.” This is also exhibit no. 993651024 of why you do not, ever, under any circumstances, for any reason, talk to the fucking cops. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. The only 8 words you ever exchange with a cop even if you just got done shooting the guy who was raping his wife: “I am invoking my right to remain silent.”
Four words: I want a lawyer.
Also good, but sadly insufficient in light of the Salinas v. Texas ruling, since they can use your silence as proof of guilt in court unless you specifically invoke your rights. Perhaps 12 words would be better: “I want a lawyer. I am invoking my right to remain silent.”
AFAIK, this is correct
it’s a shitty cop-sucking notion nowhere in 5A, but it’s correct
The TL;DR of it:
Huh, wasn’t aware of that…what convoluted BS reasoning.
That’s absurd.
Makes sense. After all, everyone knows you have to say “I am exercising my First Amendment right to free speech” or else you can be arrested for whatever you say.
Although as we learned during the pandemic, saying “I am exercising my First Amendment right to free exercise of my religion” doesn’t count, for some reason.
My standard line: “Respectfully, officer, I do not wish to answer any questions, and I do not consent to any searches.”
In this case, I’d add, “And I want a lawyer.”
Then shut the fuck up, unless you need to repeat the statements because they are feigning deafness or ignorance.
I’ve heard about that. Seems ass backwards to how gov’t agents should treat peoples constitutional rights. Most people reasonably think “I can just engage my rights by the action of remaining silent.”
That’s a 5-4 SCOTUS ruling that ought to be challenged, given the changeover in justices since.
The irony being the logical outcome is to reduce even further anyone’s willingness to cooperate with the police.
Especially when it involves something like this. This ain’t no traffic stop.
“President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Ukraine’s counter-offensive against Russia cannot start until Western allies send more military support.”
We have already done way more than we were ever obligated to (which was nothing). Maybe it is time to do what you should have done before the invasion and negotiate.
But the US has stopped that already.
Tough spot for Ukraine.
They have a troop buildup around Bakhmut and it looks like they’re going to try to relieve it. We’ll see.
So they should have just surrendered unconditionally? Because that’s the only “negotiation” Russia would have accepted
Your simping for Ukraine posts are just comical at this point. You aren’t presenting legitimate arguments grounded in anything resembling reason or, you know, facts.
The two sides did negotiate. They did, reportedly, almost reach a deal on peace terms very early on and it was the US that pressured Ukraine to drop the talks for endless war.
I’m not the one who’s spent the past year dehumanizing both Russians and Ukrainians by arguing that they have no free will and are forced into doing what they’ve done over the past year by tricknology from the US foreign policy establishment.
All of this could have been avoided by, you, know Russia NOT INVADING in the first place.
That is a rather interesting spin on the argument that the US foreign policy establishment poked and prodded Russia for years and knowingly crossed what is a redline for Russians across the political spectrum by trying to get Ukraine into NATO. That argument somehow dehumanizes Russia in your eyes. Got it.
But let’s reiterate – even Putin’s critics in Russia largely oppose, and vehemently so, the idea of Ukraine joining NATO. Because it is blatant security risk to Russia and the US would never tolerate a reverse scenario.
Maybe, just maybe if we had not fomented a coup against the legitimately elected govt in 2014 – maybe Russia wouldn’t have seen an invasion as in their interests.
Funny. That’s not what the Russians said at the outset of the invasion.
Vague recollection: When the Russians invaded, they intended to (a) seize the Donbas, (b) replace the current government, and (c) impose restrictions on the autonomy of the new government.
While not, perhaps, technically unconditional surrender, it’s definitely next door to it.
And no, Ukraine was never an existential threat to Russia. The Russian invasion was completely unjustified, even if understandable given Russian paranoia.
With that out of the way, Ukraine is going to have to give up something (and get nothing in return), and Russia is going to be rewarded for its invasion. That’s just the way the world works.
Ukraine by itself is no threat to Russia. A Ukraine that was part of what has overtly become an anti-Russia military alliance is something I would expect Russia to consider a threat.
What exactly is an existential threat? No one has ever argued that Ukrainian infantry were going to be storming Moscow. But the Ukraine being in NATO is most definitely an existential threat to their security. Any number of things could set off a hot war between Russia and the US and having a border state as a member of NATO would be disastrous for Russia.
Or the reverse could happen. Russia and Ukraine could get into a squabble and instead of it being contained to just Russia and Ukraine, all of Europe and the US would be dragged into it. That aint just bad for reluctant Americans. It’s a threat no sane, reasonable Russian leader would tolerate. It is not Russian paranoia.
And America has known exactly how Ukraine in NATO plays in Russia since the end of the Cold War. Every single thing our government has done for the past decade plus in Ukraine has been a blatant provocation to Russia and for nearly that entire time has been geared towards egging them on into invading.
Let’s reiterate. America did everything it did knowing full well how Russia would respond (and in my view, had to respond). So what does that make American leadership?
“Russia and Ukraine could get into a squabble and instead of it being contained to just Russia and Ukraine, all of Europe and the US would be dragged into it. That aint just bad for reluctant Americans. It’s a threat no sane, reasonable Russian leader would tolerate.”
Which you would think would be a very good reason not to invade, since that is exactly what happened, and was quite foreseeable.
As I’ve said before, this is the end result of tit-for-tar escalation on both sides. Russia seizes Crimea, Ukraine builds up its army, Russia supports a civil war against the Ukrainian government in Donbas, Ukraine leans West, Russia builds up an invasion force on Ukraine’s border, Ukraine starts talking about joining NATO, etc. until we get where we are today. And, yes, the US stuck its dick in, in some remarkably stupid ways. I’m still having a hard time not seeing the Russians as the primary instigator of the tit-for-tat, though.
None of which changes that Russia will eventually be rewarded, and Ukraine screwed. Might as well cut to the chase.
Speaking of that which is foreseeable – contemplate what Ukraine will think when we pull the rug out from under them, like we have all of our other proxies. Maybe they should ask the Kurds.
Just for clarity, Bro and JI – do you think the Russian invasion was a justified response to an actual existential threat to Russia, or understandable in light of Russian history and resulting paranoia? I’m leaning toward the latter, and that’s giving the benefit of the doubt in my mind, and discounting the idea that Putin and the Russians are trying to recreate some semblance of the Soviet empire.
Two cultures have been fighting over this ground for a thousand years or so.
It’s just Hatfields vs McCoys writ large.
Not our circus; not our monkeys.
Mostly the latter, maybe a little of the former, particularly given our meddling in Ukraine and our refusal to stand NATO down anytime in the last 30 freakin’ years.
Plus what kinnath notes.
Actually Ukraine is an existential threat to Russia. Not the govt per se, but the territory – it is a primary invasion path from the west and exposes hundreds of miles of Russian border that is pretty much indefensible.
Just to follow on – there are living Russians with memories of the last invasion. So all of our talk about how that could never happen – well, they have that lived experience to the contrary.
We’ve already sent them more than the entire budget of the Russian military. If it was mostly stolen or wasted, well . . . *shrug*

The Collapse of Credit Suisse: A Cautionary Tale of Resistance to Hybrid Work
https://www.entrepreneur.com/leadership/collapse-of-credit-suisse-a-cautionary-tale-of-resistance/448183
Yeah im sure that was the reason…
Three days in the office IS “hybrid work”… or am I missing something?
OTOH, that would ruin my morale so maybe there is something there? I dunno.
Couldn’t it be spun as “a cautionary tale of allowing hybrid work” just as easily? The author babbles on about “prioritizing employee needs and preferences”, but shouldn’t the business’s needs get top priority? I would expect prioritizing some employee’s needs and preferences would mean paying them for not showing up and not doing anything, after all.
This is one of those odd things where something that was totally ordinary a few years ago (going to work) has somehow become intolerable.
I think part of it is that many, many businesses were forced to send their work force home for over a year, and many of those businesses didn’t skip a beat during that time. My wife’s productivity actually went up.
And during that time many people learned that working from home, while not sacrificing output, ALSO made family life much easier. Even simple things like getting 2 kids to different baseball practices at the same time, became not only much easier, but in some cases, possible at all.
I know my wife will never work another office job. If it’s not remote, it can fuck right off.

Handyman gets revenge on squatters who moved into his mom’s vacant home by arriving with GUNS while they were out and moving himself in
Its not the guns
Its the squatting on the Squatter.
I do like how they used caps. GUNS
Yea, violence of America and all that.
I admit, i have always figured GUNS were the obvious solution for a squatter, but this guys method sounds brilliant.
I think the clincher is that he had a lease agreement with his mom. If you were just a landlord (property owner) dealing with that it could be more difficult. Unless you recruited family, etc.
How is it that somebody (a tenant with a lease) whose rights to the property are derived from the owner has rights that are superior to the owner?
I know, it’s koo-koo land.
If you watch the video, the guy doesnt supply a timeline of how long the place had been occupied. And they backed down quickly, which was to his benefit. Im guessing the woman wanted to avoid cops, the news, or risk her cushy DOC job.
Recently, Jugsy has a property in Columbus, Ohio that had no manager, but an assistant. Management would drop by from time to time, but the woman was largely left to her own devices, w/o supervision. She moved her friends/family into HUD-subsidized units, for free, recording them as “vacant”. It was only after the assistant manager was fired, and a maintenance guy went to inspect the “vacant” units that Jugsy got a phone call: “Uhh….people are living in these units. They have their shit moved in and everything. Dishes in the sink.”
Some of the people fought a direct eviction, requiring police involvement. They cited squatter’s rights and CPD basically told them, “unless you have a lease with your name on it, or ID that shows this is your residence (they didnt) you have to go.”
Who is paying the utility bills on these squatter-infested houses? Couldn’t the owner just have the power and water cut off?
In California, that would entitle the “occupants” to take the property owner to court. It’s fucking koo-koo land.
Horror stories Ive heard from friend that own rentals, and Jugsy’s experience in “affordable housing”. When the lights go out they buy candles, and cook on a grill. Or in the case of a house, may rob electric from a neighbor via an extension cord from an outdoor outlet. No water? They buy it in jugs at the supermarket, and shit until the toilet is full.
Once its full, they use the bath tub.

“We apologize again for your experience,’ the airport tweeted in response, according to the Daily Mail. “Your comments have been noted and shared.”
Too much laughter and high-fives all around, I hope.
Shockingly, as it turns out, female TSA agents can get kind of stroppy when they are ambushed by some dude’s junk at work.
“she said in a separate post she wanted[…]the entirety of tsa abolished altogether”
Broken clock.
“anyone know what i can do”
See a therapist?
That’s how he got into this mess to begin with.
How about get rid of social media completely, his social circle, and see what happens?
“Ken, I’ll take ‘Things Blown Way out of Proportion’ for $1,000.”
I thought she just punched him in the no-no place, not . . . Oh, I get it. Although it seems any dick on a chick is going to be out of proportion.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Couldn’t it be spun as “a cautionary tale of allowing hybrid work” just as easily? The author babbles on about “prioritizing employee needs and preferences”, but shouldn’t the business’s needs get top priority? I would expect prioritizing some employee’s needs and preferences would mean paying them for not showing up and not doing anything, after all.
“Employers” exist for the sole purpose of handing out paychecks.
That is pretty much the view of government employees.
The bank’s leadership failed to recognize the fundamental shift in employee expectations and the value of flexible work arrangements. Despite several studies and real-world examples pointing to the benefits of hybrid work, Credit Suisse’s top brass remained stubbornly attached to outdated work paradigms.
Aaaand done.
I wonder if it ever occurred to this dimly flickering intellect to ask himself how Credit Suisse managed to survive for so long.
Are all police departments run like the last days of Caligula?

All that harassment, and she just kept going to social gatherings at bars and even their homes to spend time with them.
She’s kinda cute, in a Michigan UP kinda way. I do like me some redheads.
Like a true Buckeye, you’d do anything to fuck Michigan.
Apparently Vice President Harris has launched a “charm offensive” on Africa. I’ll be very interested to see how that goes.
Because SSA is so receptive to the woke insanity Dems force down everyone’s throat.
So, she brought in a ringer?
She already has the “offensive” part down pat.
“charm offensive”
So they’re sending her in completely unarmed.

Two Cuban migrants landed at Key West International Airport on a motorized hang glider Saturday morning, authorities said.
They were taken into U.S. Border Patrol custody after landing at approximately 10:30 am. local time, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, which has deputies assigned to the airport.
No serious injuries were reported, authorities said.
Injuries? Why would there be?
Point of order- if the aircraft was motorized, it wasnt really a glider.
I thought they were called Ultralights.
Or “para-glider” if you remember Dan the Fan Man.
Paragliders just use a soft wing with the fan essentially on the pilot’s back.
Ultralights have a rigid structure.
Because the copilot decided their playlist for the flight was Neil Diamond singing Jonathan Livingston Seagull and We’re Coming to America on a continuous loop.
Well they weren’t playing John Denver’s greatest hits.

motorized hang glider
Some good journalisming. Ultralights have been around since before the journo was born, I’d wager.
“hovering”
Im more taken by the distinct noise of a hang glider.
That, too.
They sound like everything else with a 2-stroke motor.
“The district noise of a lawnmower”
Progress
United Auto Workers members have ousted their president in the union’s first direct election, ushering in a new era for the prominent organized labor group ahead of negotiations later this year with the Detroit automakers.
The union’s new leader will be Shawn Fain, a member of the “UAW Members United” reform group and local leader for a Stellantis
parts plant in Indiana. He came out ahead in a runoff election by hundreds of votes over incumbent Ray Curry, who was appointed president by union leaders in 2021.
Fain, in a statement Saturday, thanked UAW members who voted in the election. He also hailed the results as a historic change in direction for the embattled union, which he says will take a “more aggressive approach” with its employers.
“This election was not just a race between two candidates, it was a referendum on the direction of the UAW. For too long, the UAW has been controlled by leadership with a top-down, company union philosophy who have been unwilling to confront management, and as a result, we’ve seen nothing but concessions, corruption, and plant closures,” Fain said.
More militancy will definitely put a stop to plant closures.
Had to laugh that the new boss is nearly homophonic with Sinn Fein.

For investors, UAW negotiations with the Detroit automakers are typically a short-term headwind every four years that result in higher costs. But this year’s negotiations are anticipated to be among the most contentious and important in recent memory.
Fain has said the union will seek benefit gains for members, advocating for the return of a cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, as well as raises and job security.
The change in the UAW comes against the backdrop of a broader organized labor movement across the country, a pro-union president and an industry in the transition to all-electric vehicles.
I’m sure Joe will invite him to the White House for pie and ice cream before he settles in to wrecking what remains of the American auto industry.
“…and an industry in the transition to all-electric vehicles.”
Where are those batteries and motors made? Not in UAW shops.
But they’ll be assembled by union members, since you can’t get that UAW quality anywhere else.
Goos morning, Old Man!
Your adventures are reaching James Bond levels of exceitement!
The democratic government of Ukraine at work.
I don’t know what’s more disgusting, the government of Ukraine or the morons who defend them.
Sounds about right, comrade.
So let me get this straight, if we don’t make poor people cough up tax money to make expensive toys for rich people, the rich people aren’t going to buy the expensive toys?
My buddy installs solar. During times without subsidies, work disappears. It’s such an obvious scam.
This was particularly apropos.
Are there no women left who think politics is retarded and would rather go for a hike or something? As bad as you have it, Old Man, I feel really sorry for my 23 year old son. The bitches his age are loony.
My son got so lucky.
There was that survey recently claiming to show that a majority of women under 30 are mentally ill.
What we have done (or allowed to be done) to that generation is a crime.

Everything within the State, et cetera.
From a CNN story about SVB:
For the past year, the Fed has jacked up interest rates at an unprecedented pace in the modern era.
Anything which happened prior to Y2K might as well be the bloody Stone Age.
Holy shit!
