Looks like they haven’t booked the rest of the tour. I’ll keep an eye out for it!
The Slackers are a New York band, and they’re getting old-ish (for bands anyways). They’ve been going for almost 30 years now. It used to be that they would come to Cleveland twice a year, now we’re down to a show every year or two. Regardless, they’re a great band. One of the few bands I go to see that you can’t walk out of the show angry (even when they were playing anti-Bush songs).
Nice curveball. I was expecting this

Well, you know what they say about Catholic girls…
They say they like the dress code?
Only the good die young?
Two in the pink one in the stink?
Did Mr Splosives have a nice birthday?
In winter, the girls at my old schools didn’t like the dress code that much. I didn’t mind.
Whoever thought white blouses and skirts was modest was a moron?
My old high school had a rule that girl’s skirts had to end no higher than two inches above the knee. Enforcement levels varied.
Hilarious, isn’t it? Yoga pants are more modest than Catholic school unis.
It is so modest strippers wear that outfit.
If Catholic school girls historically always wore burlap sacks, you guys would go nuts at the sight of a burlap sack.
you’re not wrong.
Oh, what a bunch of bu…you might be right.
Who says I don’t?
A fair cop.
There’s something special about taking a bunch of people going through puberty, and putting all of the girls into skirts (that they will try to make as short as possible), and white blouses (that they will wear as sheer as they can), and expecting us males to not fetishize it.
Not to mention thigh high nylons are still awesome.
Well, yes, she might take the sack off.
True past life story time: My first job in my most profitable past life I was hired to run a boat on an O&G exploration job in S Sudan. The mission was to make regular trips for supplies/personnel to Juba which was 200km to the South up the White Nile. On our first of only two trips, (we ran aground a lot, Not exactly a marked channel) to Juba and back we rounded a bend and came on a cattle camp. (Cattle is pretty much currency in S Sudan and we were in mostly Dinka land and many of them roam around tending herds) In this group of maybe 100 people wearing nothing and who knows how many cattle were about ten or fifteen women wearing nothing but short plaid skirts. It was a community choked in dung fire smoke and everyone was covered in dirt, dried mud and filth. God bless the missionary’s for at least leaving the skirts. It was the most bizarre thing I saw there.
Did any of those missionaries look like Katharine Hepburn?
I never saw a missionary. I am making the assumption that is where they came from.
You’ll nite I took it for granted that you were gin-soaked.
“we rounded a bend and came on a cattle camp.”

Indeed it was!
Good evening mammals…the skiing conditions suck over here
We were going to go to Lake Placid last Feb – canceled the trip because it was 50 degrees and raining, in upstate NY! Gonna give it another shot this winter – I’m not too worried about rain this time.
But are you worried about the alligators?
Nah, they can’t break thru the ice. At least not according to the movies, right?
Nobody else?
Anyone?

*clutches kitten protectively to chest*
All of my cats have been indoor-only except one who came to me from my old next-door neighbor who basically abandoned him. I got him to stay indoors after he developed an overactive thyroid and needed special food, but he was a brat about it. I’m just glad nothing bad ever happened to him outside. So many of my friends have had their cats be hit by cars, poisoned or just vanish… a pet serial killer gives me nightmares.
I can’t do the indoor only thing. My wife’s very allergic, and I’m allergic enough that if they don’t spend most their time outdoors, we can’t have them. Ours are working cats and are expected to get rodents and *covers Mr. Lizard’s ear holes* reptiles. If they happen to get a bird or two, good on them. They’ve been kept indoors for the past week due to cold temperatures, and they’re going stir crazy locked in the basement. They try to dart outside every morning when I feed them and let the dog out. Of course, they quickly regret it when they do get out.
It’s a tough balance. Cats need a whole bunch of enrichment, and it’s extremely hard to give that to them indoors. On the other hand, they’ll entertain themselves just fine outside, but at the risk of meeting one of many untimely deaths. I lost one cat to a bobcat. It tore me up because she was a tortie who had imprinted on me. She’d sit in my lap and drink the beer from the bottle before I could get it to my mouth. Then she’d beg for more. She never liked my wife because she saw my wife as competition from the day my wife moved in.
I let the cats stay in if they ever even remotely hesitate about going outside. They can sense danger much more easily than I can, so I’m not gonna toss them into a buzzsaw. However, they are usually hesitant only when it’s raining or really cold. They’re far enough away from the main road that it would never be a hazard, but it’s close enough to ward off predators. My biggest fear around here is a neighbor getting pissed, but most folks either have cats or they have dogs that spend most the day outside, so the cats avoid their houses.
I’m allergic to cats, and don’t like them. But if my basement had an indoor access I might put one down there and let it eat mice, maybe see how albino it can get.
It’s quite alright, I am unconcerned over the fate of the average green anoles
I figured I would solve that by having two of them. Now they mostly just ignore each other or fight, except at dinner time when they clean each other up first. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We feed the feral cats. We are adding to the problem. I don’t give a shit, Kittahs hungry? Kittahs eat!
I used to have the cutest colony of all-gray kitties in the back yard. I don’t know who if anybody was feeding them – I had my own with deal with and they were strictly-indoors; it wasn’t me. But they were sooo cute.
Spent six hours grouting today. I started wondering whether I’d prefer to blow a dude. I’m pretty sure I could manage it with only twenty minutes on my knees.

I think it depends on which task pays more.

Trump has instructed the White House cleaning staff not to touch his things
http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-told-white-house-cleaning-staff-not-to-touch-his-things-2018-1?r=UK&IR=T
***
President Donald Trump has reportedly instituted a rule that housekeepers at the White House must not touch his things without his permission, journalist Michael Wolff reported in his new book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.”
“If my shirt is on the floor, it’s because I want it on the floor,” Trump told his staff, according to an excerpt of the book published in New York Magazine on Wednesday.
The president is reportedly fearful that he’ll be poisoned and is particularly concerned about his cleaning staff touching his toothbrush. Wolff wrote that Trump’s fear of poisoning is one reason why he frequents McDonald’s, where his staffers can anonymously purchase him premade food.
Trump also strips his own bed and instructs staff on when to wash his sheets, Wolff wrote. Unlike every previous presidential couple since the Kennedys, the president and first lady Melania Trump reportedly maintain separate bedrooms.

***
An Oregon Democrat has become the first member of Congress to announce a boycott of the State of the Union address.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, who represents much of Portland and its eastern suburbs, announced he will not attend the presidential tradition on January 30, Pete Hegseth reported.
Blumenauer said on Twitter that he would instead be “working at home listening to Oregonians about what they think about the State of the Union [address].”
He warned that the speech would be another example of President Donald Trump’s “destructive, divisive” dialogue.
Blumenauer previously boycotted Trump’s inauguration ceremony and also posted a series of 35 tweets blasting the president days after he took office.
…
On January 23, 2017, Blumenauer dubbed Trump the “liar-in-chief” and ripped the New Yorker for his “clear ego.”
Blumenauer also borrowed quotes from Aesop and Abraham Lincoln in his critique of the president, slamming Trump for claims about crowd size at the inauguration.
He is also the author of the “No TRUMP Act” [No Taxpayer Revenue Used to Monetize the Presidency Act], which he reportedly drafted as a warning that Trump or his family may use the presidency for their own profit.

[Zoidberg voice]
Again with the cutesy acronyms…
I wish the State of the Union address would revert back to the President sending it in writing to Congress. Enough of this stupid political pageantry.
^this ^
Could you imagine the howler-monkey reactions he’d get from the press? I wish he were less of a camera-loving narcissist and more of a deliberate troll, because that would be a brilliant move.
They should have done that during the Clinton impeachment.
When the Democrats were whining that the impeachment was taking away time for the State of the Union, I would have suggested inviting Clinton to deliver it during the breakfast hour, when Congress is otherwise not in session.
How about via Twitter post?
I would vote for the guy if he did something like let all the media and dignitaries set up shop and get the pageantry going, travel over to the Capitol and walk in, shake a few hands, hand the State of the Union to the Speaker of the House and walk out without saying a word.
That would be epic.
Honestly, that would clinch my vote in ’20 (unless he goes along with the establishment and starts another war).
SoTFU address.
He needed an M there, didn’t he. That’s the only reason he used “monetize” in his stupid bill. I wonder whether he even knows what it means. Scratch that, I doubt it.
Christ, what an asshole.
He’s too stupid to be an asshole. The guy is dumb enough that it’s a wonder he manages to keep breathing.
Trump or his family may use the presidency for their own profit.
Ask him his opinion of the Clinton Foundation.

Maryland substitute teacher fired after ‘alt-right’ views discovered by students
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/01/06/maryland-substitute-teacher-fired-after-alt-right-views-discovered-by-students.html
***
A substitute teacher and field hockey coach at an all-girls Catholic school in Maryland was fired after his “alt-right” views were discovered by students.
Gregory Conte was fired this week from the Academy of the Holy Cross in Kensington after students discovered his personal Twitter profile in which he made remarks such as “Hitler did not commit any crimes,” FOX 5 DC reported.
…
The Twitter account, in which Conte used the name Gregory Ritter, said he was the director of operations at the National Policy Institute, which is run by high profile white supremacist Richard Spencer. Conte’s Twitter account was still active when this article was published.
…
This week, the school sent a letter to parents about Conte’s firing, saying despite his work with the “atrocious group,” there was no reason to believe he negatively influenced his students.
“Prior to his firing, he was successfully using an alternate identity in his work with his atrocious group,” school CEO Kathleen Ryan Prebble said in the letter. “As for his potential impact on our girls, I conducted an investigation at the time of his firing and determined there was no reason to think that he negatively influenced any of our girls with his philosophy.”
FOX 5 DC reported the school learned of Conte’s “alt-right” views in October. The academy did not comment when questions as to why administrators waited until January to inform parents of Conte’s views.
…
Emma Jennings, another student, told WJLA Conte would read Russian books during class.
“During class, he would read Russian books or books about Putin and stuff like that,” Jennings said.
Conte had been working as a substitute teacher since August 2014.

[Dramatic chipmunk theme]
Well geez, I guess I’m glad I’m not teaching anymore. If the school found out about you guys it would probably be even worse than if “Book Twitter” did.
Alt-right my ass. The guy is a pinko. This is more of the ‘Hitler was right wing’ lying horseshit.
So… I have a request of those of you here. Which of these should I work through tonight? Assume almost all mixers and washes are available as well.
Easy. Laphroaig.
With NO mixers or washes.
Sorry, I’m not familiar with those terms.
They’re for some of those clear liquors. As much as I enjoy gin, I have yet to find one that I like to drink straight.
Good lord. Straight gin would knock me out for a week, I don’t care what kind.
I still remember the time a group of us went up to Toronto, and we went to a steak house. I ordered a gin and tonic. The waiter brought me a glass of gin, and a glass of tonic. Back then, I blamed backwards Canadians, now I just blame Rufus.
Every time you think they’re just USA Jr they go and pull something like that.
Seriously, straight up, maybe a single oversized cube of ice.
A few drops of spring water works.
I’ve got both whiskey stones and an oversized clear ice sphere mold (which also came with a sleeve to store already made ones in the freezer).
I must say your and RC’s setups and dedication to the fine art of drinking is impressive.
*scratches nuts, burps and crushes beer can on head
Long ago I realized that if I was going to have bad habits, I was going to do them well. Add to that a love of researching obscure minutia, and recipes that follow strict guidelines… how could I not fall into cocktails?
About the only part of my alcoholic knowledge that is lacking is wine. Part of that is that a world class beer may set you back $30, a world class wine is orders of magnitude above that. At least on the whisk(e)y side, you can do some research, and know that there’s stability in what’s released.
/tosses westersloper another beer
I disagree about a great wine. The fun is in finding a great one that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. And it is entirely doable, unlike great whiskeys or tequilas.
juris imprudent: If you can give recommendations on wine, I’ll gladly follow them. I would humbly disagree about not being able to find a great whiskey at a reasonable price though. On the wine side, I generally prefer acidic whites. In my local region, the local wineries stick to sweeter dessert wines (and ice wines), because that’s what grows here. My general flavor preferences are spicy, bitter, acidic, and roast.
You would like French Chablis (but not American) – or a white Bordeaux. The challenge is that whites tend to be lower alcohol and higher residual sugar, therefore sweeter than reds. Based on your palette, reds would seem to be more suitable – Cote du Rhone, Petit Syrah, Aussie Shiraz, or a Chianti. A lot depends on what you are eating with it, or of course if there is something about red wine that doesn’t agree with you – my ex has that problem.
My standard dinner-red is Robert Mondavi/Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon – big bottles usually on sale for $10 or so ($14 regular price). Now, where I get a little crazy is Pinot Noirs and you can spend plenty on those, but you really don’t have to. I have some Oregon Pinots that set me back $50+ a bottle. They are more refined than Cabernets. You might also try Zinfandel (real Zin, not white or blush). I doubt you will find many wines locally produced that suit your taste – both because of what grows and how it is vinted, but also because the market for non-west-coast wines runs sweeter and ‘easier’ to drink.
We’re going to need to convince the powers-that-be to hold an open wine thread some day.
Generally speaking, I like bright, crisp, citrusy white wines and deep rich leathery, tobaccoy red wines, and not much in between.
Fine wines can be had up to $20 a bottle for whites. I go for Reisling and Gewurztraminer from Germany (semi-sweet) or Alsace (bone dry from French side of the Rhine river). I also love Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough region of New Zealand. I buy them when I want them. There is no reason to cellar them.
I have 200 or so bottles of fine reds in the cellar ranging from $35 a bottle to $150. The best wines I have tend to be $40 to $50 from Spain (Rioja or Ribera del Duero); $45 to $55 from Italy (Brunellos and Barolos); $50 to $75 from France (Bordeaux); $50 to $75 from Napa (Cabs); and $50 or more from Australia (Cabs and Shiraz).
These are all world class wines. If you are paying more than that, then you are paying for rarity or paying for someone’s marketing budget.
And the wines that tickle my palate the most, tend to be the $45 wines from Spain. Better than anything except a handful of Cabs from Napa that I paid $75 or more for. And yes, I like the Spanish wines better that all the $100+ bottles that are tucked away here and there.
juirs, I truly do appreciate the recommendations, and have copied them out so I can reference them later. I will add that I have yet to try a Syrah (add however many different spellings for the same thing you want here) that I’ve liked. I believe I’ve had the Robert Mondave Cabernet a couple of times as a ingredient in something that left me half a bottle to drink, which I didn’t dislike.
I’d like to point out that you do harm to your argument that wine drinking doesn’t have to be expensive by mentioning $50 bottles. I’ve yet to spend that much on a single bottle of beer.
kinnath: based on the postings from the almighty ones, I don’t think they would have an issue with a wine thread. You’ll just have to deal with us lower class people who prefer beer threads.
I like beer threads too. I go both ways.
Damn, Tim. Laphroaig is my absolute favorite.
If you run for office, I will vote for you.
Tundra and some others got me to expand my horizons and try Scotch. So glad they did. My first go was Glenmorangie 10. Really like it. And recently my local liquor store put Talsiker Storm on sale for $40; normally $70. I knew it was a smoky scotch, but I figured I needed to grow up and try all the Scotch profiles. Turns out I like it a lot more than I thought I would. So much that I’m going to grab one more bottle since it’s such a good price. Haven’t had Laphroaig yet.
The Laphroaig is awesome, if you like boldly flavored scotches. It hits almost all the notes, iodine, smoke, peat, smoke, leather, smoke, and seaweed.
That tears it. I am pouring 3 right now. One for hubs, one for me, and one for stepson (hub’s son from a previous mistake).
I’ll pour another Talisker and raise my glass to the east-south-east
I’m glad I could be a good influence on you Mrs. Hayek. Although, I’m a bit disappointed that I have to go pour my own. 🙂
Scotch is weird. I really like a variety of styles. For a long time Macallan 12 was my go to, but as I age, the more muscular scotches appeal to me.
Of course, after having a 25 year-old beauty here, I’m spoiled and wistful.
Scotch is tough to recommend. Especially to someone who’s never been a whisky fan to begin with. Depending on how well I know the person, I’ll either start them with something basic (like a Glenlivet), or something over the top (like Oban). I’ve yet to find a Macallan I find worth the price though.
Exactly. My brother loves Oban and I would use it to clean parts.
You gotta experiment. Expensive, but worth it.
That’s why it’s good to have access to local places that do flights.
And you use my Oban to clean parts, we’re gonna have to drop gloves.
That looks like a really cool place to visit.

Everything on the shelves have been removed from the boxes, and then put back in. It creates a small halo effect when I have company over. I don’t mind anything being consumed (except the Midleton, that’s a special occasion only whiskey), but I do appreciate being asked before I just find an empty bottle.
Too bad, I was gonna suggest the Midleton.

It’s much sweeter than its malt lager brethren which makes it a bit easier to stomach but it’s still pretty harsh. Drink one on a dare or if you are on a super low budget looking to catch a buzz.”
What’s the Rye in the bottom center shelf?
That’s not even close to the bottom shelf. There’s three shelves below what I took a picture of. I’ve got Bulleit Rye below as well as standard Bulleit. If I’ve got the bottle on my shelves, it’s a good pour. My bottom shelf includes Tito’s Handmade, Captain Morgan, and Johnnie Walker Gold (received it as a gift, if I had paid for it, I would have been pissed).
Let me rephrase.
What brand is that bottle of Rye on the lower shelf in the photo?
Oh, and misread the question the first time. It’s from a local distillery called Red Eagle.
It’s fun to have local stuff on the shelf, isn’t it? One of my favorite Ryes comes from a distillery about 30 miles away. And they are a farm-to-glass distillery, so that makes it a little extra cool.
Ah, I see Red Eagle is, too. Very cool.
I would go with whichever of those Jameson is oldest. I love that …but alas my stomach does not.
Technically, the 1820 is the older bottle, but they discontinued that label, and the Gold is the high end one now. The Caskmates (stout edition, I’ve ranted earlier about the IPA edition) is quite good as well.
I don’t see how you can go wrong.

After my beer disappointment today, I fell back on what I know… pizza. Probably the best pizza I’ve ever made. Garlic, onion, mushroom, bacon pizza with some pepper flakes in the sauce. There’s something intensely satisfying about becoming legitimately good at cooking something.

Hmm. Im not sure. Maybe the kind of pepperoni they use gets burnt if they bake it in?
Yummy! But seriously, it’s supposed to get a little crispy around the edges. I bet if I ordered a pie for delivery they would do it right. At some bigger places in Manhattan where they have pies with various toppings ready for ordering a slice I see it done right but not at the places around here.

The most frightening thing is these people actually expect to be taken seriously.
Lauren Southern has been attending the trial
https://youtu.be/j-qXSZ_IP4A
I figured the case would be quietly dropped after a while. Just scaring people wasn’t enough. They’re actually going through with it. The only malice here is with the prosecutors.
I wonder if he gets a jury or if there’s just an appearance before some magistrate who might just buy into this bullshit. If it’s a jury I wouldn’t think he has to worry too terrible much about a conviction, I would hope not anyway.
In the US, I would agree. The UK from what I can tell has pretty much given up any pretence of “free speech”.
Britain gave up free speech a while ago. Fuck ASBO’s.
Jesus. What a freaking prison.
Nullification would be nice. We’ve seen much worse jokes on almost thread here. You’re right on this being the best case against hate crime laws. They’re trying to beat humor out of the British Isles. The backlash should be wonderful. If the continue to bend over and take it, I consider that consent and they deserve it.
I wonder what the statute of limitations on this kind of crime is over there (John Cleese):

Not sure of The Count’s political stance (seems to be a simple shit poster), but I’d bet his lack of virtue signaling play a role in deciding to go after him. Pure BS.

UK government admits it has lost track of hundreds of jihadis from Britain fighting in Syria and Iraq

You can’t really fault the British government for this. You have to have some understanding. The British authorities are devoting an enormous amount of resources to tracking real threats such as “Islamophobic hate speech”; they can’t be bothered with trivialities such as the whereabouts of battle-hardened, committed jihad mass murderers.
***
***
The whereabouts of hundreds of Britons in the Middle East fighting for jihadist groups is unknown, the security minister has admitted.
Around half of the estimated 850 people from the UK who went to Syria and Iraq have returned home, but Ben Wallace said the Government ‘don’t know where’ those still in the region are.
Many have been killed in fighting, some are returning to Turkey, but it is unclear whether others are now living, he admitted.
Mr Wallace denied that the authorities had ‘lost track’ of the suspected terrorists, adding: ‘They went into a very hard part of Syria to reach into the Euphrates valley and then were dispersed from there.’
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘What we do know is about half have come back to the United Kingdom of the original 850-odd that went out of concern.
***
You’d think fighting for another country would kick them out of the club.
the Government ‘don’t know where’ those still in the region are
Who cares where they are in Syria or whatnot? Just flag them at the border if they attempt reentry.
“an odious criminal act that was dressed up to look like a joke.”
So dies humor. And debate. And innovation. In fairness to the prosecutors we have never been down this road before so they couldn’t possibly see any bad consequences coming.
Is this Canada or England?
Scotland.
Well, I knew the Scots had fallen down the evil proggie rabbit hole but goddamn, at some point they have to realize how over the top they are. Right?
Have you heard of the named person scheme?
Jesus Christ, not good.

Yes.

The Scottish government wants Scotland to be “the best place in the world for children to grow up”.
It has said that most children and young people get all the help and support they need from their parents, wider family and community, but sometimes they might need a bit of extra support.
As part of its Getting it Right for Every Child strategy, the government proposed giving all children and young people from birth to 18 years access to a named person under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014.
The law had been due to come into force across the country on 31 August of last year but the policy had already been rolled out in parts of Scotland, including Highland, Edinburgh, Fife, Angus and South Ayrshire.
The Scottish government says the named person is intended to be single point of contact if a child or their parents want information or advice, or if they want to talk about any worries and seek support.
They would also be a point of contact for other services if they have any concerns about a child’s wellbeing.

Back to the interwebz…
So I finished the 4th season of Black Mirror earlier today. Now I’m trying to figure out why every review site is complaining about the Black Museum episode. It was a brief anthology episode, with three interesting stories in it. It was a better episode (to me) then Metalhead or Crocodile. I’m also sick of everyone deciding to put their own SJW spin on the USS Callister episode as well.
Netflix isn’t getting my money until they release it on DVD. (No idea if they do that.)
Looks like they’re only available on the UK version of Amazon. I’ll say it’s worth paying the $10 a month to watch (and download if you really want) the third and fourth season of Black Mirror.
Oof – 10 of those pound thingies to ‘dispatch’ it. Will have to think about that.
As for Netflix… I wasn’t aware you could download their shit but I still want the DVDs. I have season 1 and 2 on DVD. Just work with me here, assholes.
Technically, you can only download their stuff through their platform to watch offline. Unofficially, there are lots of tools out there to allow you to save their items to your personal stash.
There’s a reason I don’t feel bad about using Bittorrent to download shows from applications I’m paying to stream them from.
Do you have a recommendation for a particular one of these tools by any chance?
I haven’t used any of the tools other then Bittorrent to pull down shows. They were much easier to find before Netflix allowed people to download shows to watch.
Something tells me Netflix lawyers would disagree.
Fuking Canada… we can’t even get plane ‘splosions right. I blame the self-righteous sock-wearer in chief! To the Ramparts, mes Amis!

The Canadian Mike Rowe pimps capitalism
He also talks wealth creation
You could make this a Glib thing and start calling anything that just misses the brass ring by a pube’s breadth “The Canadian (.)”.
I was going to make a joke about him teaching 3rd grade but then I realize most pinkos have absolutely no idea about the things he is talking about. They actually do need someone to tell them that stuff, even then most wont get it.
He works in the organic farming industry, so he’s surrounded by pinkos. Definitely has to dumb it down for them.
“The Canadian” is when you have to go to the bar with your buddy and while he woos the hot chick, you have to pass time with her ogreish friend. Friends and Allies.
I thought that was just being the wingman…
Too subtle. “The Canadian” will sleep with the ogre and have stories.

Trump trying to trade wall funding for dreamers
I think it’s a brilliant move on his part. The only thing missing, IMO, is a refusal to give the dreamers a path to citizenship, but instead only a legal status.
Agreed. The art of the deal.
That is essentially my dreamer stance. You can stay here is your green card for life.
Basically the way I live. Sometimes people ask me if I want the right to vote here. Hell no. I’m way outnumbered by proggie expats.
You have dealt with other nations immigration/citizenship requirements and most people haven’t. Every nation has them but the only nation that is hitler for enforcing them is the US. It is honestly bizarre to me. I understand the libertarian perspective but that is not reality unless everyone plays that game.
That’s not true. Actually, Japan does get a lot of shit for horrific stuff like engineering visa policy to create a basically indentured sex-work force of Filipinas and Brazilians. Or shit like where someone who got permanent residency through marriage gets booted on their ass out if their spouse has the nerve to die before their filthy gajin boy/girl toy. Similarly, the Arab Gulf states are also poster children when it comes to criticism of terrible immigration policy.
Oh I know there are nations that get the occasional scathing in the press for immigration policy’s, (see the UAE for all intensive purposes slavery of Bangledeshis)(or Australia turning back boats) but the average prog will not know of any of that. Their view is the US is the big meany on the planet. It could not be further from the truth.
There probably are cases where the Filipinas get stuck in a kind of indentured servitude, but most of them are part of extensive clans that support each other. Yes, they should be able to work here out in the open. If they want to leave, most of them have the opportunity.
If it were up to me it would be “Back of the line, we’ve got a job to do here” but that’s just me.
An aside… It is my understanding that only kids brought here between certain dates can be “dreamers”. I haven’t heard anyone mention what’s happening with kids that fall outside those dates.
IIRC, they have to have been brought over when they were younger than 15?? and can’t be more than 25?? now. I may be off on the ages, but it’s something like that.
Yeah, I’m too lazy to look it up but in any case I don’t think the issue is going away. I’m not wedded to any particular solution here but I am curious why nobody’s talking about it.
Well, it’s similar to the special fast-track naturalization they did for “Ameriasian” kids born during the Vietnam War.

Tanqueray is a rarity in your circle?
I’m sorry about that.
I was just what I brought. I ended up drinking most of it myself cause my lazy friends wanted to “not get too drunk” so they “stuck with beer” cause they have “children and things to do in the morning”. What a bunch of losers!
What kind of weak ass beer did they bring? I mean, if I’m bringing beer to a party, I’m bringing something good.
Coors Banquet.
Yes, that is technically a beer.
/bites tongue
Coors Banquet is awesome sometimes. I crave it occasionally. It reminds me of hunting camp and friends and there is nothing wrong with that.
Did you take your Jack and Ruby’s tonics to mix with the Tanqueray ? That stuff is how you drink gin.
Canada Dry. In honor of Rufus and Titor.
May as well drank the Coors then. Canada Dry? good lord have mercy,

“Me so solly”!
I thought they reported the body? Anyways, don’t do Logan. A few years back I was walking past a koban (small police station) with an officer standing in front. About 10 meters from him there was a small wallet laying on the ground. The cop looked at me. I looked at him and he watched me pick it up. I walked over and handed it to him. He took me in the koban and had me filling out lost and found forms for an hour. His first question was, “Where did you find it?”. Fucking asshole saw me pick it up. Next question, “When did you find it?”. Made me late for work.
What a dick.
TBF, I’ve had infinitely worse experiences with US cops.
Almost as if he was entraping you for the pure joy of watching you fill out the forms.
Not really. After 30 minutes, a guy comes in, “Excuse me, I lost my wallet.” Cop holds it up, “Is this it?” “Yes, thank you very much”. Checks. Nothing missing from it. We both sat there another 30 minutes filling out forms.
I remember picking up a lost set of keys from the town hall in Germany once. I don’t remember filling out any forms. Either that or I blocked it out.
Nah. Racist and bored.

Tonight the DJ started in on Sessions, and how He was gonna break Muh Pot Laws etc. I was pissed as usual and called his Ass and lit him up on the fact it’s Congress job to MAKE law, and Sessions is ultimately just following the Letter of the Law, like it or not. don’t like it? change the law, period.

My team didn’t make the playoffs, so I dont have a rooting interest.
But the NFL referees SUCK. But so do tla lot of the rules. MLB umpires are pretty decent.
I dont watch hockey, a lot of you guys do. Do they have this problem?
NFL refs aren’t half as bad as English Premier League refs.
Hockey referees are mostly okay.
They are awful this year. Lots of ‘new’ rules that bring the game to a grinding halt.
Bleh.
Ah yes, I have noticed that.
So many fucking penalties and yet the stupid crosschecking from behind is still allowed. Just retarded.
The same mentality is infecting soccer. Challenges that used to be perfectly acceptable even 10 years ago are now fouls. Constant interruptions.
Hockey seems pretty fair to me, but I’ve only been watching a couple years.
Video review is just now getting big in soccer and the refereeing seems worse than ever. Like obviously bogus goals slipping through and whoever’s supposed to be video-reviewing this stuff must be asleep at the switch.
And no take-backs.
Nice.
I think hockey benefits from the limited instances where the referee determines the outcome of the game. Baseball on the other hand will have a minimum of 54 calls out each with their own circumstances. Many really are too close to call.
The NFL went and screwed itself over.
I like games with objective rules. This is allowed, this isn’t. Hockey is pretty good with that. Rugby and Aussie rules are better. Almost anything goes except this this and this. Easy.
They you have soccer, where almost every call is totally subjective. WTF does “reckless” mean?! Was he really pushed? Who knows?? Except shit like offside which they still get wrong all the time anyway.
So, fuck Windows, for the real. I put my computer to sleep to go enjoy some libations. Come back an hour and a half later, and my computer is totally shut down.

Yeah, we’re getting the back end of that storm which seems to involve sucking in all the air from Canada. Looks like we’re bottoming out at around 5 tonight.
A balmy 31 here but it started snowing.
on top of drizzle. I might need to rethink my hungover drive to the store in the morning.
Yeah, that sounds like it is going to be a mess. Not something you want to drive in.
All of you poor bastards think you have it bad? It is clear as a bell here, 35F and I have a slow fire going in the wood heater. I might have to open a window, hell it’s a toasty 78F in here. I am in a t-shirt, really awful, garish but warm pajama pants, sheepskin slippers and tipping back the vodka/cranberry juice.
I am gonna hit the bed in a bit and the wife will end up draping a bare leg and arm over me and snoring lightly.
Damn. Life is good.
*stern stare* My bathroom pipes have been frozen for more than a week, even after positioning a space heater at the crawlspace.
We had a few water issues too. People here aren’t used to the kinds of temps we had last week so there are pipes frozen and broken all over the parish. We barely have any pressure but at least it is flowing. We can wash dishes but not clothes, cook but not shower.
Good grief, how long are these people going to take to fix all of the broken pipes?
Sometimes pipes get plugged up at or near the outlet if ice crystals are suspended in the water inside the pipe and they accumulate in a slush as the water tries to flow out. Try heating near the hookups for the shower and sink? If you can get it to flow just a little then leave the valves open and the flow should clear it out. Take the shower head off and the aerator on the sink. I did that to my bathroom and the sink eventually spit out a three-foot long slushy. Now it is flowing freely, just no pressure.
Heh, no, it hasn’t been above 10F here for over two weeks, the valves all open, space heater directed at the pipes, nothin.
You’re on a water system Suthen? The way you talk I’d have thought you had your own well. Me, I got a sandpoint. Not legal in new builds, but I’m grandfathered in. No water system here.

Wrap your pipes in newspaper until you can get to Home Depot to by foam pipe insulation wrap.
The pipes aren’t actually accessible, they’re in a crawlspace dug out 36 years ago not big enough for anyone to fit in today…the explanation for the problems is a whole Tolkein type thing itself; suffice to say woodchucks were involved and buried the pipes, leaving them more vulnerable to the cold.

Thanks, Tool. (and Yusef)
And also to Anna Nalick “Breathe”
Both of those songs played a lot when I was in turmoil, and for whatever reason, they calmed me down yet contributed to possibly the most momentous change in my life.
Wouldn’t have it any other way, all these years later.
For some reason, I was totally unfamiliar with Tool until about a year or two ago. Warty corrected that stunning lack in my cultural awareness.

And now that I am on the brink of another huge decision, insomnia has returned. Just need some theme music now…

From Nalick’s Breathe:
There’s a light at each end of this tunnel
You shout ’cause you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out
And these mistakes you’ve made, you’ll just make them again
If you only try turning around
Two a.m. and I’m still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it’s no longer
Inside of me threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
‘Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you’ll use them however you want to
But you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand
And breathe, just breathe
Whoa breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
