FFS…It was just a joke. Lighten up.
This is my review of Sullivan’s Brewing Co. Black Marble Stout:
At this point, you are probably aware enough about a comedian on the internet that spoke at a Trumpfest at Madison Square Garden that called Puerto Rico a garbage island. I’m confident enough that I am not going to link it. The joke itself was funny enough in theory, but the delivery could’ve been better and it fell flat. The left loses their fucking minds.
Then Brandon calls Trump supporters garbage people in a brief moment of half-lucidity that I am also confident enough you are familiar with, to not link. The right loses their fucking minds.
The art of the insult is truly in decline. Want to see an example of how its done? See above.
But as for how Trump truly feels, we always have a Twitter1.0 or Apprentice clip we can fall back on for reference.
For everyone else, I have curated a list of behaviors that while not illegal or unethical, makes for a garbage person. Please note this is not an all inclusive list:
- Not returning the shopping cart
- Not cleaning up after a pet
- Not throwing away gum
- Not being ready to order after waiting in line for 10+ minutes
- Talking in a theater (or theatre if you are Canadian)
- Using British slang in the United States
- Talking on speakerphone in public
- Watching videos on a phone in public without headphones
- Constant cellphone use in conversation — particularly with flashing lights on the screen
- Chewing with your mouth open
- Complaining about allergies after telling waitstaff you had none
- Expecting the entire world to adapt to your peanut allergy
- Glutards that don’t have celiac disease
- Waiting until your groceries are completely checked before pulling out your checkbook
- Using checks at a grocery store
- Pretending checks are not a valid form of payment
- Farting in an elevator
- Driving slow in the left lane
- Littering when the garbage can is right fucking there
- Conflating littering with loitering
- Collectivism. For example, ”everyone who ___ is a garbage person.”
- Not returning the shopping cart
- Having a short attention span and repeating someone else
- Clipping your fingernails at work
- Microwaving seafood
- Pretending “influencer” is not a job
- Being an influencer
- Leaving dirty dishes around communal kitchen/snack areas
- Ordering a ridiculous number of things at a drive thru
- Parking in front of someone’s driveway
- Blocking a lane in the parking lot while you wait for someone to back out
- Going against the parking lot flow when the spaces are angled to indicate a correct flow
- Going off topic in the first five posts
- Annotating in books
- Journalists
- People who let their kids scream in restaurants
- People who bring small kids to breweries/wineries/bars
- Failing to understand the meaning of the word, “inconsiderate”
- Standing in “my bubble”
- Borrowing things without returning them
I feel better getting this all out.
An Irish beer in an article about garbage people? I’m going to catch some flack for this one. This is not a Guinness clone. So if you were looking for a Guinness clone you will be disappointed. This is however, a Guinness Extra Stout clone. So if that’s what you were looking for, you are in luck because that’s what this beer is …if Guinness actually put the extra stout into their nitro cans. Which is a nice combination and Guinness should definitely get on that but they won’t because they’re garbage people. Lucky for us somebody on that rock saw gap in the market. Sullivan’s Brewing Co. Black Marble Stout: 3.8/5
From my perspective, the Trump side won the “garbage” war hands down with Trump’s garbage truck stunt (including wearing the safety vest at the rally afterward) and now with Trump supporters wearing garbage bags to early voting sites. I’ve not seen anything comparably clever from the Harris side reacting to the Puerto Rico slur (just their usual tantrums) so no one remembers the lame joke that started it all.
“…not seen anything comparably clever from the Harris side…”
There is a reason for that.
Trump supporters wearing garbage bags to early voting sites.
With bandages on their ears?
Ooh! I hadn’t thought of (or heard about) that! I’m too chicken to wear the garbage bag, but…
I kinda have the shape and appearance of a garbage bag, so I must be a natural.
Couldn’t resist, due to the combination of MS’s rant and GT’s ‘garbage comment’

Now that many groceries now have two sizes of cart and a dedicated space in the cart return for each, I would add those who put their cart on the wrong side. Yes, I know it’s arguably better than not returning the cart at all, but putting it on the wrong side makes it harder for the poor schlub who has to schlep them all back into the store.
Going against the parking lot flow when the spaces are angled to indicate a correct flow
That’s not really a problem if you drive something with a wheelbase less than thirty feet.
Any sadist who puts angled parking spaces in a lot deserves to be tied between four tow hitches and tested to see which limb is most strongly attached to the torso.
You set it up to make it harder to see oncoming traffic plus set up one way routes so you can’t always pick the most direct exit – die, scum.
I like a pull through if I can get it and head out in the correct direction. The parking lot scenario is only a minor irritant.
Blocking a lane in the parking lot while you wait for someone to back out
Costco…
Going against the parking lot flow when the spaces are angled to indicate a correct flow
This has become common at rest areas overnight. It’s not people pulling off because they’re drowsy but ones using it as a camping spot for the entire night.
Glass bottles at the course/ park/beach.

Conflating littering with loitering
https://imgflip.com/i/98qv1n
A wanker is a wanker whichever side of the pond they are on.
Speaking of garbage people:
Dude rescues squirrel, tames squirrel, trains squirrel, puts cowboy hats on squirrel, feeds waffles to squirrel, makes squirrel an Instagram star.
Gummint decides to raid dude’s home without a warrant and kills squirrel.
Wood chipper.
“We had to kill it, to save it”
Back in the 90’s there was some guy running as the Libertarian candidate for Lt. Governor (I think) in California whose entire platform was legalizing pet ferrets. His candidate statement was all about how the Wildlife Gestapo raided his home and tore his screaming children’s beloved pet ferrets from their hands and took them off to be murdered.
I always wanted him to come out as the leader of the Ferret Underground.
Ferret Underground was a great Indie band.
An exotic animal guy I knew had a small shop before going into pets and rescue where he had a tamed squirrel. It would come and sit on your shoulder (and occasionally shit on your shoulder), chatter in your ear for attention, graciously take snacks from your hand, and even would stand and wait by the door when it was open until someone closed it. He went missing when they were moving to a new location, the thought of the group was that someone walked off with him.
Dicks out for Peanut
That is quite abrasively aggravating. Stupid wankers.
Not cleaning up after a pet
Word.
Also, not leashing your dog in public. I don’t give a fuck that “he’s never done that before!”
Leash. Your. Fucking. Dog.
Rude. Fecal coliform is unacceptable in polite society. Stupid wankers.
…Pull my finger?
THAT’S NOT FUNNY.
Actually, a googely eyed alien asking me to pull his finger is rather amusing. As long as no anal probing or fecal coliform is involved.
Like Dave Weigal? That stupid wanker.
I will repost here my query from the most recent dedthred:
For those who forecast a Harris/Walz win this election, what are your sources upon which you base your conclusion?
I’ve been listening to a variety of pro-Trump pundits and prognosticators (and black-pill-ers), and so I probably should listen to arguments against Trump’s inevitable victory on Tuesday.
Cuz they cheat like motherfuckers. We all know this.
I’m still optimistic we can overcome the margin of fraud.
Saw a new yard sign this morning: “Democrats for Trump”.
Or you could, just bear with me here a second, not worry about it either way. I know – sounds crazy, right?
I don’t think you are understanding my angle.
I want to know where I can go to to gloat after Trump wins this Tuesday.
R/Politics
If you are in Texas, I will take you to a dozen of so places to witness the tears in DFW.
Could we eat at in-and-out burger?
Voter drop boxes, ballots accepted well after Election Day, international ballots allowed without verification if you pinky swear you live in a swing state, voter id not required, Michigan is now a blue state, ballot boxes set on fire in red districts, Colorado leaked voter machine passwords, it goes on and on.
If that’s not enough, i went to bed on the West Coast with Trump up by large margins in 6 swing states and woke up with Biden up by the same margins 6 hours later.
And four years before that, I went to bed thinking that Hillary had the White House, but the GOP held the senate, but then woke up at 4 am to find that Trump actually won.
I wrote in Ron Paul’s name in 2016.
I used the finest SCIENCE known to civilization. I noted the conjunction of the Moon and Venus that day in Sagittarius.
Returning borrowed items rusty or broken (and no offer to replace).
The list is pretty well complete but some I don’t complain about or let it upset me. Life is too short.
I have friends/neighbors that can pull up in front of my garage, go in, find what they want and leave. I know they will bring back the item in the same condition they borrowed it in.
Well….looks like I’m stuck in norfolk for another 2 weeks. Lord, please let this be the last delay.
Since it’s a long weekend next weekend, I’m thinking about revisiting a walk i did over a month ago….wasserhund brewing to smart mouth brewing to vibrant Shores.
Anyone in the area feel free to mssg me. Probably saturday…good food and brews.
Currently at Wasserhund for the afternoon.
I hope you’re on the clock with all these delays. It all counts towards 30.
I’ve been on the clock since I reported to reserve center 16 sep. I’m past 20, but I won’t make 30 unless I pick up O-5 at the board next year – otherwise I can get a continuation for the length of the tour and retire at 24 (no pay till 60 absent disability).
Document, document, document. Here’s to getting a John Wayne disability. 🍻
Sounds like a good beer. I’ll look for it.
Garbage time: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/11/the-week-in-pictures-garbage-time.php
Poor OMWC.
It’s a zero-sum world
For all the anxiety over men’s feelings of inadequacy and insult, their perceived loss of status, and their desire to have their masculinity and domination over women vindicated by a second Trump term, there has been comparatively little attention paid to how women are feeling.
Women, after all, have also lost status: because of Trump, they lost Roe v Wade, the US supreme court precedent that not only granted them control over their own pregnancies but had also long stood as a symbol of women’s formal equality under the law. Now, without it, women are suffering and dying; many more have simply been humiliated, made aware that their government does not see them as equals and adults who can be trusted with control of their own lives.
There is a lot of sympathy, in the political media and among the pundit class, for the ways that men feel that the Second Wave era and its aftermath have hurt them. There is comparatively less sympathy – and a good deal less attention – paid to the way that women feel now that those Second Wave achievements in rights, dignity, and equality are being taken away.
This is all so fucking exhausting. Will this dreary dark cloud of psychosis be blown way after the election? Not a fucking chance,
“their desire to have their masculinity and domination over women vindicated by a second Trump term”
Fuck.
Off.
Democrats can’t even define what a woman is. They should just shut the fuck up.
little attention paid to how women are feeling
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahaha
“there has been comparatively little attention paid to how women are feeling”
AYFKM?
but had also long stood as a symbol of women’s formal equality under the law
Do you understand how profoundly fucked up this is?
For those who forecast a Harris/Walz win this election, what are your sources upon which you base your conclusion?
My money’s on fatalist despair.
If Trump manages to pull it off, the other side has so much emotional capital invested in their “end of civilization as we know it” imbecility I seriously dread the consequences. Maybe that’s what the Democrats are hanging their hopes on, at this point.
“Nobody move, or the nigger gets it.”
So, you don’t have, for example. polls you’re watching, or “inside information” on early voter participation?
Who can predict what early voting means? Last time the Repubs were caught completely out. This time, I’ve been bombarded with ads about early voting FOR Trump.
I have the 2020 electoral map and a hard time seeing how the gap gets closed. I also have a 2022 wave that never happened and Trump surrogates getting bent over bigly in that election.
The 2020 election turned on a small number of “ballots” in a few states. It wasn’t some massive anti-Trump landslide.
“I seriously dread the consequences”
And they’ll riot anyway in celebration if they win.
There is no reason to doubt the power and appeal of misogyny: Trump may well be right that resentment and hatred against women will be a winning message among men. But women’s feminist sympathies – their anger, their grievance, their sense of having the American promise yanked away from them – should not be underestimated, either. We may be in an era of profound and trenchant antifeminist backlash. But feminists can lash back, too.
I am Spartacus.
That’s why he went to Dearborn! To bone up on how to oppress women!
It would be funny if he came out and said Islam, let me tell you about Islam, lots of ideas, some I like,some I don’t know about but let me tell you, Islam is right about women.
Blocking a lane in the parking lot while you wait for someone to back out
Impatiently shooting the gap between a car backing out ad the person giving him room to do so.
Related: who are these people obsessed with backing in everywhere to park? Wannabe bank robbers practicing quick get aways? I just don’t get it.
I backed in all time when I drove an F250. It’s faster and easier than pulling in forward.
Most of the time it’s normal size cars. That’s why I notice it.
I feel like it’s easier to pull out of a spot than to back out.
Visibility. People act like the fucking backup cameras magically keep me from hitting them.
Besides I always park in the back, so no one has to wait for me to back in.
For NH glibs – almost forgot Travis Corcoran was dealing with re-election.

Not fucked up link.
Unrelated to his candidacy, but book 2 of his Aristillus series is mysteriously no longer available in ebook (unlike book 1).

I may e-mail him after the election and things settle down a bit. Annoying, since book 1 ends with a cliffhanger.
Weird. I read both books in that format – will pick up hard copies eventually.
So, you don’t have, for example. polls you’re watching, or “inside information” on early voter participation?
I am in the “polls are complete and utter bullshit” camp. I have no real handle on the situation other than idle speculation. The election could come down to whether or not it rains Tuesday.
Holy shit! Another JRE dropped with Fetterman doing 2 hours.
At this rate, I expect Biden to be on for 2.5 hours on Monday to really drive the point home.
Fetterlump is trying very hard to make me like him.
Link to the video
Remember, Fetterman was raised in a conservative Republican household and was a Republican until his 20s or so when he had his Progressive “conversion”.
For a chick, no doubt.
For a chick, no doubt.
I’m running late for a NHLA event so I don’t have time to look for it.
There is a long article on either The Hill or Politico on Fetterman and his background. If I remember correctly, his conversion was related to the death of a male friend.
Haven’t heard much from his wife recently.
Didn’t his wife r-u-n-n-o-f-t to Canada to fuck Trudeau or something?
It’s starting to work on me. His economic politics are terrible. The rest of it is pretty good.
Using British slang in the United States
Are you taking the piss?
This is however, a Guinness Extra Stout clone. So if that’s what you were looking for, you are in luck because that’s what this beer is …if Guinness actually put the extra stout into their nitro cans.
OOooo. Sounds delicious.
Related: who are these people obsessed with backing in everywhere to park? Wannabe bank robbers practicing quick get aways? I just don’t get it.
It seems to mostly be pickup trucks (here, anyway) My theory is they turn slightly tighter with rear steer- like a forklift.
* see my comment about absurdly long wheelbase vehicles like giant crew cab trucks
Can confirm, with a truck its much easier to back into a tight parking spot.
It’s true. I’ve gotten to the point that my Super Crew with the 6.5 foot bed sits more than it rolls. It’s a pain in the ass, especially since I don’t really need a truck anymore. Driving a smaller vehicle on narrow mountain roads is soooooo much more pleasant.
Definitely see that where I live, but exclusively. The icing on the cake is backing into the diagonal spot going against the direction of traffic. That driver is definitely going the wrong way when they leave.
Half a billion, half a billion, half a billion on
The Pentagon announced Friday it was sending an additional $425 million in military assistance to Ukraine as Kyiv prepares to face Russian forces augmented by more than 10,000 North Korean troops.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had said more aid was coming, and soon, during his visit to Kyiv last week. This aid package includes weapons that will be pulled from existing U.S. stockpiles, including air defense interceptors for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, munitions for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and 155 mm artillery, and armored vehicles and anti-tank weapons.
Freedom has no price.
Sure, why not?
We can always make more.
So $4250 is the cost/value of a Nork soldier?
Sounds awfully high. Should be able to at least get a squad for that kinda scratch.
Dont worry. Johnson will get right on this money laundering operation. He is forming a committee to look into forming an investigation.
The aid package announced Friday by the Pentagon brings the total amount of military assistance the U.S. has provided Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022 to $60.4 billion.
That should please the Cheneys.

“Microwaving seafood” is right up there with murdering someone’s pets because they don’t have the right license.
Peanut and Fred are with Harambe in animal heaven now.
I can’t say for sure that it’s related, but a dude in my old office did this and subsequently got prostate cancer.
Karma or coincidence? You decide.
Microwaving seafood?
Is that a British thing? How come it’s not on MS’ list?
Another tOSU victory as tPSU chokes twice at the goal line. Look for loser Franklin to be hung in effigy on campus tonight.
tOSU v Pedo State one of those “can’t they both lose” games.

Wandered into that game right before the goal line stand and march downfield to grind out the clock. Kind of made me wonder why the score was close.

Just outside enjoying a gorgeous day before Gaia takes a frozen shit on us.
Also gotta give the dog a bath. She found something foul to roll in. Little shit.
Just got done putting in the winter vegetables. Broccoli, lettuce, potatoes, Brandywine tomatoes, Japanese cukes, green beans, and a mix of peppers. Now to cool off in the pool and take out the steak to defrost so I can grill it.
Tomorrow I have a sail race so I’ll have to miss the Lions at the Packers. I my heart is with GB, but I can’t put my wallet there. The Lions look like too complete a team this year.
