    Head and shoulders above the rest, I’d say.

  2. Count Potato

    Would?

  3. DEG

    Salacious is OK with me.

    I don’t check in here while at work anyways, only at home so salacious won’t bother me.

    Others might not be OK with salacious though.

    I like it. Of course, I’ve always been a big Keith Richards fan.

    Has anyone seen Mojeaux in the last 10 minutes? I heard a giant sploosh coming from KC and she’s been silent ever since.

    • hayeksplosives

      She’s floating around in ecstasy.

      Don’t. Stop. Her. Now.

      Cause she’s having a good time.

        There’s a show that got killed off for no good reason.

    • Mojeaux

      I’m in the last thread explaining girls.

      • Not Adahn

        Moj–

        I doubt I really need to mansplain this, but the reason that the meme is “there are no female libertarians” instead of “there are no [insert group x here] libertarians” is that the initial use of the meme was an insult. By pointing out that wimmen weren’t fond of libertarians, it was emphasizing how low-status libertarians were in a way that the lack of [group x] wouldn’t.

      • Mojeaux

        Yes, I know.

        The problem isn’t necessarily that libertarian men are low-status. The problem is that men who tend to be libertarian have certain social deficits that, in the aggregate, seem worse than they really are. Libertarian man != incel.

        Some libertarian men just need a makeover and some gentle, sincere encouragement in their mating endeavors. We MLWs are here to help.

      • Not Adahn

        The meme seems to nudge your berzerk button.

        But it really has nothing to do with the actual social skill level of libertarian males. If you were to compare glib dudes with the population of guys who spend a lot of time on the internet, glibmen seem to be well above average n the numbers of gfs, wives, and/or children. it’s just about mocking an outgroup.

      • Mojeaux

        The meme seems to nudge your berzerk button.

        It does not; however, I wasn’t quite sure how your explanation of the meme (which I knew) related to the conversation I was having with DEG and Hayek in the previous thread.

        I said when I was a new Tulpa that I am painfully earnest at times, and so I wasn’t making the humorous connection (still don’t get it) because I was all dialed in to DEG’s situation.

        So if you would be so kind as to explain the joke to me, I can then laugh appropriately.

        If I didn’t like you herd of miscreants, misanthropes, and mansplainers, I wouldn’t live here. ?

        You all are in no way Reddit incels/MGTOW or 4channers, and most of you are my and Mr. Mojeaux’s age.

        Lastly, you’re all pretty fucking brilliant and I gorge myself on the brain candy here daily.

      • DEG

        I know about the origins of the meme, but I use it mainly as a joke nowadays.

        I know there are women libertarians, not only here and from H&R but I’ve known more than a few when I was active in the LP.

        But, I feel the need to go back to making bad jokes. Like since there are womenfolk present, I need to shower and put on some clothes to make myself presentable.

      • hayeksplosives

        Lol

      • DEG

        And thank you again also for approving and endorsing Mojeaux’s message.

      • Lackadaisical

        The fucking apostrophe makes that meme

      • Gender Traitor

        fucking apostrophe

        Gee, apostrophes always look flaccid to me.

      • DEG

        I saw. And I’ll say it again: Thank you.

    “A Virginia Democrat wants to ban indoor shooting ranges at offices where there are more than 50 employees.

    Freshman Del. Dan Helmer is pushing the bill at a time when Democrats, in control of the state house for the first time in a generation, are promising to pass a number of gun control laws.

    According to Helmer, his bill is needed to protect Virginia’s millions of office workers.

    “There are millions of people who work in office buildings in the Commonwealth of Virginia,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense for us to be establishing businesses in those buildings that have people bringing lots of firearms and ammunition.”

    Helmer denied to The Associated Press that he was targeting the National Rifle Association’s headquarters, which is located in northern Virginia. But he could not name another shooting range in the state that would be affected by his bill.”

    • Trigger Hippie

      I’m looking forward to the day when a quarter million armed Virginians march on Richmond and make it clear in no uncertain terms that these laws are not going to fly.

      • Not Adahn

        The VA leg just passed a ban on carrying weapons on the planned protest site.

      • Tundra

        I’m worried about the protest.

      • Rhywun

        Do they really need to be armed to get their point across?

      • Tundra

        After that bullshit?

        I’m thinking yes.

      • Not Adahn

        I have an unesy feeling this guy is right.

      • Tundra

        Yes.

        Me too.

      • Rhywun

        Yeah, I get it. I’d rather not see any drama, though.

        Either way, Virginia is asshole.

      • Not Adahn

        Yeah, VA is the same place the cops routed the white supremacists directly into the antifa ensuring that something bad would happen that they could use to get stories.

        I guarantee that any bus that pulls up to the protest site is going to be swept by cops with dogs and wands and any contraband found exaggerated into the second coming of OBL.

      • AlmightyJB

        If a bunch of people showed up armed, I’m not sure they would do anything right then. They would be taking pictures though.

      • AlmightyJB

        Maybe the rest of the State can join West Virginia.

      • hayeksplosives

        Good idea. Same reason we should carve up California.

      • The Last American Hero

        I’ve been putting forth that same idea for years. Combine it with my DC Lateran Treaty and NOVA can have DC minus the White House, Capitol Mall, and Smithsonian. The rest of VA redraws the line with West VA. Everyone wins.

        Added bonus, there will no longer be gun crime in DC because of the ban.

    • straffinrun

      There are millions of shootings at gun ranges every year.

      /CNN

      • The Last American Hero

        Does the State Police post have more than 50 employees?

      • juris imprudent

        Now that would be a truly lovely unintended consequence.

      • Lackadaisical

        Who will enforce that?

    • hayeksplosives

      Sigh. Virginia. Home of George Washington and other key founders. And now it reeks of DC spillover. Tragic.

      I recall a joke soon after 9/11 that the taliban/Al Quaida were surprised in the afterlife to find that they’d be greeted by 72 *Virginians*, with a meme showing out founders with their lovely muskets.

      • IntraveneousWoodChipper

        Yep, Richmond resident here. It may not be navy blue yet, but it damn sure feels like a burgeoning Peoples’ Republic.

      • hayeksplosives

        NOVA has nothing in common with the rest of that beautiful state.

        When I go, I’m usually in Fredericksburg or Dahlgren.

        Different worlds.

      • Ted S.

        But NOVA is effectively governing the state now.

        Like the difference between NYC and “Upstate”, however you define Upstate.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        Like the difference between NYC and “Upstate”, however you define Upstate.

        New Mexico is very similar.

        We have three districts.

        D1 is Bernalillo County which is Albuquerque, which is full of welfare cases and Cali migrants, so is solid blue.

        D3 is dominated by Santa Fe County and Rio Arriba County which is full of welfare cases and lunatic liberals so is solid blue. This is my district.

        D2 is the southern part of the state, dominated by ranchers and oil/gas is solid red but is sadly outnumbered.

        We used to be pretty 50/50 due to our tiny electorial size. Sadly not the case any more.

        I truly feel for you “upstaters”.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        I’m on the edge of the divide, and it really is night and day different. You get on the west side of dulles, and the stench of pretentious asshole drops off pretty quickly.

      • Ted S.

        Yeah, my county (Ulster) in New York is turning increasingly blue thanks to people moving north from NYC. 😡

  12. The Late P Brooks

    I’m looking forward to the day when a quarter million armed Virginians march on Richmond and make it clear in no uncertain terms that these laws are not going to fly.

    That’s not what democracy means!

  13. Gojira

    Well folks, despite not being a KC fan, I cheer for Mahomes when I can since he’s by far the best qb to ever come from my school. So that was about the most entertaining game I can remember seeing in the last few years.

    Remember when the Bears *traded up* to take True Biscuit over both those guys? Good times.

    • Ted S.

      I remember. 🙂

      • Gojira

        There’s a cat on one of the SB Nation twitter feeds I was reading earnestly claiming that Mahomes is *solely* a product of his circumstances and that Trubitsky would be doing MUCH BETTER than Mahomes if he’d been drafted to KC.

        You can say that Mahomes is luckier in having Hill and Kelce, but the second claim about MT being better is ludicrous.

      • C. Anacreon

        Mahomes does have one advantage over Trubisky, and that is his QB coach Mike Kafka, aka The Quarterback Whisperer.

    • creech

      Watching this weekend’s games, it was pretty obvious the Eagles weren’t playing. There was no injury cart running to the locker room after just about every play.
      It is just amazing to see how one receiver can bounce up from an obliterating hit, and another other blow their hammy by making being tripped up.

      OTOH, Green Bay isn’t San Fran Jr. the way Seattle is.

      • C. Anacreon

        Pro Tip: if you ever visit San Francisco, don’t be overheard calling it “San Fran”. The locals will smirk and scoff.

        The only approved terms are “Ess Eff”, “San Francisco”, or “The City”.

      • Rhywun

        “Frisco” is even worse.

      • slumbrew - double secret satan

        As a tennis fan, I always enjoyed watching the beautiful play of Justine Hénin, and was annoyed by how many people basically said they didn’t want to watch it because she didn’t make them want to masturbate like Maria Sharapova.

      • MikeS

        Why else would anyone watch tennis?

      • Ted S.

        Because even though they’d all get their asses kicked by Karsten Braasch, they’re still a lot better than many want to give them credit for.

        (Many here referring to normal people, not the sportscasters who want to politicize women’s sport.)

      • Naptown Bill

        Why else do people look at things? Honestly if you take t&a out of the equation I could take or leave sight.

        Sure, why not? Federer’s backhand > Henin’s backhand.

        Ugh I wish Federer would just fucking retire already. I am sick of that smug prick.

        And take Nadal with him.

        #newblood

        Not a fan of him, either. He’s still playing really well, so we’ll be stuck with him for a while longer.

    • Spudalicious

  18. Akira

    OT: An EF zero tornado came directly through my neighborhood last night. Myself, my girlfriend, and another couple were getting ready to sit down to a spaghetti dinner at about 11 PM last night, and we heard this fucking train whistle sound. It was the wind whistling outside. A giant branch crashed down next to my house, and then the power goes out. Everyone scrambles around until we find our cell phones and/or flashlights. We went in the basement for a few minutes, then the wind died down so we came back up and lit candles. After the rain stopped, we looked outside and saw that my friend’s car had lost the back windshield to a falling branch (luckily, his insurance will cover it at zero cost to him). There was no real damage to my house; just a fake shutter that got a little bent and an already-damaged gutter that fell off the detached garage.

    Several very large trees came down, including one in my neighbor’s yard. It’s funny because it was dead and had dropped several large branches in the past few years, and he was thinking of having it cut down anyway. Another house diagonal from me has a huge tree leaned against it. In the downtown area, several old buildings had the roofs ripped off, and one street was covered in bricks that had fallen off. It’s very fortunate because it was where a popular bar is, and if anyone had been standing out there as people frequently do, they’d be dead.

    I haven’t heard any reports of anyone being hurt thankfully, just property damage.

    • MikeS

      That sounds like a lot of damage for an EF-0. I wouldn’t be surprised if they upped it.

      • hayeksplosives

        My thoughts exactly,

    • Ted S.

      Yeah, my sister lives just outside Dallas and has had tornadoes go near her on multiple occasions.

      Athough she, I and my other sister (ex-Worcester MA, now Minnesota) have a running joke of her sending us pictures of the weather app on her phone when we comment about the cold.

    • DenverJ

      Holy shit! You win. Best story tonight. Glad everyone is safe

    • Rhywun

      Yikes. Where are you (roughly)?

      I remember that sound when a tornado woke me up and hit the next block over a few years ago. I hadn’t even known it was possible in NYC.

      And the spooky air pressure drop. *shudder*

      • Akira

        Troy, Ohio, a town of about 26,000 in southwest Ohio (30 minutes north of Dayton).

        The whole night, my friend was muttering, “Who the fuck has tornadoes in January?”

      • Rhywun

        Uh, yeah. Weird. Mine was in August.

      • Jarflax

    • DEG

    • Gender Traitor

      Yikes! I thought of you when I heard on the news this evening that the NWS had indeed confirmed the tornadoes. I, too, haven’t heard of any injuries. So glad the damage to your home was minimal!

  19. Rebel Scum

    You are seriously still going with this angle?

    Reid said. “What we’re kind of all getting to is Donald Trump — we were talking about this in the hair and makeup room as well — he produces a kind of anxiety in people that is so profound. It’s part of the reason people are obsessively watching this show and Rachel Maddow. It’s like Rachel Maddow is sort of their psychologist at this point. People are afraid of not just what he can do but what he’s bringing out in people. The kind of people he is surfacing in the United States. You have swatting happening and Nazis walking around. It is a scary time.”

    She continued, “You look at the polling on what Donald Trump has done, and rather than make people feel more confident, it’s made people more anxious. Here is the anxiety level in 2018 versus 2019. People are more anxious. Do people feel safer after the strike on Iran? They feel less safe. Everything he does makes people feel worse. So do you think that redounds in particular to any particular candidate?”

    • commodious spittoon

      What would make them feel safer? Maybe a mass exodus from North Africa into Europe?

    • Rhywun

      I wonder what their ratings are like. Is anyone watching those bats any more?

    • Akira

      You have swatting happening and Nazis walking around

      Oh for fuck’s sake, we have had Nazis walking around ever since Nazis were a thing.

    • Suthenboy

      Nazis. We have Nazis walking around.

      Joy can spot those secret Nazi haircuts from a mile away, they aren’t fooling her.

      • Ted S.

        And most of them are TEAM BLUE.

      • Rebel Scum

        You jest, but Nazism is a collectivist ideology that is at home on the left side of the political spectrum (If using left/right paradigm I put collectivism on the left because it seems to align with other ideologies deemed “left”. And I put individualist philosophy on the right.). I’m sure modern self-described “progressives” would find much agreement with the actual Nazi platform.

      • Akira

        I have a copy of Mein Kampf, and it’s really telling how much of a raging Leftist that Hitler was.

        I remember a passage about how the poor are not poor because of any fault of their own; it’s the system that fucks them over and causes them to make bad financial decisions.

        In another paragraph, he said that the government must force employers to give their workers good pay and basic benefits until society can move beyond “the greed and unreason of the individual”.

        The man was a hardcore collectivist who hated individualism. He would absolutely NOT support the idea of individuals making profits through voluntary transactions. The Nazis hated capitalism; they believed it was the instrument by which the Jews are fucking over the hardworking Aryans.

      • DEG

        I recently read “The Communist Manifesto”. There are more than a few passages where I wondered if Hitler had taken what Marx had wrote, substituted “Jews” for “bourgeoisie”, then passed it of as Hitler’s own.

      • Akira

        Yep.

        Hell, you could replace every instance of “Jews” with “one percent” in Mein Kampf, and it would sound pretty damn close to a Bernie Sanders or Liz Warren speech.

        I’m wondering about the intellectual property implications of using a title as a brand.

        Once I contacted NASA to find out how to license an image for a cross stitch pattern. They said I didn’t it. The image belongs to the U.S. taxpayers and is hence free to use.

        Well. okay, then. But doesn’t the aristocratic structure belong to England? Or … something? And the English aristocracy has never been about giving back anything.

        Even if it were kosher, it’s still in very bad taste. That’s a really white trash thing to do.

      • Rhywun

        They’re “withdrawing” from their duties in order to fraudulently sell tschotschkes with their former titles on them. You can’t make this shit up.

      • Rhywun

        I don’t believe so, nor is it required, nor did she herself acquire a title personally. It’s all his titles that she wears.

    • hayeksplosives

      In subsequent responses, @neontaster highlighted what he felt was an anti-Semitic current below the surface of Tracey’s actions. The term “neocon” has been weaponized by white nationalists to refer to Jewish people engaged in politics. White supremacist academic Kevin MacDonald published a thesis outlining “Neoconservatism as a Jewish movement.” As a result, the use of the term, especially when directed at Jewish people, remains sensitive.

      I was just talking about this with mi padre tonight. I’m not yet sure what I’m going to do when they make me a multiple felon, but I’m sure as hell not wrecking up and destroying my stuff or signing up for a confiscation list to comply with some unconstitutional horseshit. Maybe I’ll sell it all to my dad. Maybe I’ll establish a PO box in WVa and rent a storage locker there. Maybe I’ll just hold onto it all and hope that there’s no reason for my house to get turned over by cops. For sure, I’ll be moving out of this shithole as soon as I can.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        RC Dean has suggested that those of us in (so-far) gun free states can store firearms for confiscation states. Not sure if this is applicable but I have a gun safe and a boat with dubious flotation ability to store guns.

        I never thought that this would be a possibility in America. I bought my first deer rifle from Sears around 1967 for (if I remember) $29.95 which was a weeks wages for me.

        OK, now I’m depressed.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        *gun-law free states.

        Although NM passed a “gun show loophole” law last time around (which I’ve already had the privilege of flaunting once already.)

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        Part of me wants to be the vocal, open resistance to this BS. The rest of me recognizes that I have a young family and I’m not the kind of person who needs to be hauled off to prison to make a point. I keep thinking about that article that made its rounds here about a year ago. The one about the people with different thresholds to joining the mob. I’ll have to track it down.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        You know, neither were the “Founding Fathers”.

        They were all rich dudes who put everything on the line for freedom.

        I’m kind of that way. I have a retirement income such that I never have to worry about politics for the rest of my life.

        But you want to know something? I’m an old fucker who has never had to stand up for a principle. And it kind of bugs me.

My old house had a late 90’s Whirlpool and, though it was as loud as a jet engine, cleaned that flatware spotless in 30 minutes.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Our house was built in the early 70’s without one. We finally put one in about ten years ago, and wouldn’t go without one now. Has given back hours of washing dishes. First GE model lasted ~8 years and current Bosch is ~2 years. Really quiet, but easily takes 2 hours. Best thing has been switching to phosphate dishwasher detergent.

        I’ve never been in the dishwasher does the work camp though. Mostly just a rinse and sanitizer.

        If I were an experienced bread baker like my mom and aunts, it wouldn’t take nearly that long. The big time sink is waiting for it to rise twice.

        If you use High Voltage Pulse Power in your work then you probably use a shorting stick to safe it. Most shorting sticks require two movements, touch the resistive contact for a period of time then move the stick to the hard ground. Often times this movement must push part of the stick into other components. I came up with a design that eliminates that second step and got a patent on it (Patent US20100060085). Thing is that I have come up with a much simpler design that can be retro-fitted to existing equipment.

        I need to build a prototype and show it among the trade. I’m kinda stuck at step 1. Any suggestions?

        If you lack the facilities to build and test, there are 2 options:

        1)partner with a defense company and license your idea for them to build with your guidance. SBIRs are your friend. Contractors are required to give a certain amount of work to small businesses. You could be that if you simply set up an LLC—very cheap.

        2) Partner with an academic institution. I can give you info on the best HV labs in the US if you email me at my handle dot protonmail

        Thanks for your suggestions. I was considering how to build it myself but getting an interested partner with connections would be the best.

        It’s starting to get late for me so, if you don’t mind. I will followup with an email in the next day or two.

    The truth is: The economy is badly broken for the vast majority of Americans across the vast majority of the country.

    Mike! is off his rocker.

    ” […] There has to be a war on poverty,” the New York billionaire said while campaigning in Stockton.

    Oh lord.

    Yeah, the economy is fundamentally badly broken, even if it’s relatively doing well. It’s broken because of big and bigger gov.

    Yusef, upstream you said something about not being a lazy fuck. I took that as you were directing it at yourself.

    Dude, don’t put yourself down like that, don’t overwork yourself when all your energy is going to Wendy, and for heaven’s sake, don’t listen to sad music.

    I’d like to do a “guess the glib” links. Everybody gets a new handle for one day and we have to guess the glib from their comments on the links.

    • Mojeaux

      And every one of us will work “eat ass” into their comment.

      • straffinrun

        It’d be hard to get it exactly as HM does it. But even for serious comments, it’d be fun to see opinions which aren’t connected to the preconceived notions we have already.

      • dbleagle

        Sounds interesting.

      • straffinrun

        And BTW, one of the publishers that I do contract work for (simple editing) asked me out the blue to submit an idea for a book I want to write. “On what?” I asked. “Oh, anything you want.” Put me at a loss for words. I don’t wanna write a book, but he offered and will pay. Strange.

      • hayeksplosives

        Subcontract to MoJo

      • straffinrun

        The target audience is Japanese people, so that might be a bit rough for her.

      • Sir Digby's tnetennba

        I believe cods and cuntes have their market place in Japan, do they not?

    • Sir Digby's tnetennba

      I think I’d be up for this at some point

      • straffinrun

        Why don’t you give this a shot for one of the late ‘n night linx? Not sure how it would work with word press.

      • Sir Digby's tnetennba

        Eh….not sure I’m gonna continue them, tbh,

      Do it like a high school history exam.

        Dammit!

        Oooh, oooh! Lachowsky, right?

      • straffinrun

        My waifu knows the answer.

      You just want to grab someone else’s handle while they’re not using it.

    Water saving requirements decreed by the federal government are the worst. There are few issues more local than water use. In mywatershed we have so much water we can’t get rid of it fast enough, but because someone out west can’t water their lawn I need to reduce my water use?

    Fuck that noise.

      I rive on a rock above a swamp, adjacent to two rivers. Flooding is a higher risk than drought. Why should I be stuck with shitty, ineffective products because people flocked to the deserts of commiefornia?

      • Gender Traitor

        And doubtless your swamp is federally-protected “wetlands,” so don’t you dare do anything to mitigate the flood risk.

      • UnCivilServant

        Eh, it’s Albany. The flood might clean it up a little.

      • Gender Traitor

        Dayton did too good a job preventing big floods after the one in 1913, so now we have to count on tornadoes for periodic purges.

      • UnCivilServant

        A fascinating new bit of information I learned recently is that Pompeii is plastered with campaign posters for an Aedile election, and the slogans are just as vapid and empty as modern day. The volcano cast its vote for ‘None of the Above’ before the election could be held.

      • UnCivilServant

        I say “posters” but it was more like grafitti.

      • Gender Traitor

        Interesting! What’s Latin for “…and I approved this message”?

      • UnCivilServant

        “Not required language in 79 AD”?

        I honestly don’t know, I never studied latin.

      • Gender Traitor

        Nor I – just a one-semester course in Etymology, taught by our HS’s Latin teacher. I credit it with helping me a ton on the Verbal SAT.

      • Gender Traitor

        Gotta go get ready for the day. Hope yours is as pleasant as can be expected.

      • UnCivilServant

        I may have a head cold.

        I hope not, I don’t want to go through that again.
