Mea culpa, I’ve missed Bible stories long enough that we’re already through Bereshit and already in Shemot (that’s Genesis and Exodus, respectively, for all you goyishe kopfs). So I thought I’d check out this week’s Torah reading and… weird coincidence which sidetracked me. Allow me to explain.
You heathens have no doubt heard of Bar Mitzvahs*, and have some idea that it’s the passage of a (((boy))) into manhood at the first Shabbat following his 13th birthday. Not that you can get served at a bar, so the first part is clearly misleading, it’s the Aramaic word for “son.” The expression, translated literally as “son of the commandment,” stands for the concept that at this age, you’re required to follow the 613 commandments handed down by Yahweh to Moses. Oh, and there’s seven more that the rabbis made up** to make a nice round 620, so there’s a Pharisaical nutpunch as punctuation. More importantly, at that age, your father no longer has responsibility for your fuckups of religious ritual and taboo. In fact, traditionally, he says a prayer of thanks that when his kid does stupid teenage shit, it’s not his responsibility any more.
Where did that magic number of 13 come from? Yahweh? Moses? Nope, this is all part of the Pharisees taking over Judaism after the Saduccees got evicted from the Temple. It appears nowhere in the Torah, so again tradition has become rule of law (as in so many things). Rabbis were very good at making up shit like that, then claiming that it was the invisible ink part of the law that you had to be a rabbi to understand. Their takeover of Year Zero Judaism was quite analogous to how the Mullahs took over Shi’ite Islam, but with the added bonus of eventually getting their man-made stuff codified- good luck finding a Sadducee or an Essene these days.
In any case, if you’re one of (((us))), you’re automatically Bar Mitzvah at that age, no ceremony necessary. Sort of like reaching drinking age. Nonetheless, (((people))) love ceremony, so that’s become inextricably bound to the Bar Mitzvah concept. As part of the tradition, the Bar Mitzvah man-boy reads the seventh portion of the sedra and the entire Haftorah during the Shabbos service following his birthday.
Which leads us to… what the fuck is that?
OK, first the Torah stuff. You’ll recall that the Torah is divided into sedras, analogous to the goyishe chapters, though beginning and ending in different places. Each shabbos, a sedra is read, in order, until we’re through reading the entire Torah at the end of the year (celebrated as the holiday of Simchas Torah). Each weekly reading (sedra) is divided into seven parts, and as an honor, seven men from the congregation are chosen to read each of the parts- it is symbolic that the Bar Mitzvah reads the seventh part as part of the recognition of manhood.
Next, the Haftorah. As a kid, I figured that meant “one scroll instead of two,” but I was a warped kid. In actuality, a Haftorah is another one of those made-up rabbinical things that no-one quite knows how it got there, but hey, it’s there. It’s a reading after the seven portions of the sedra, but taken from the Prophets instead of from the Torah. In theory, it’s supposed to have some linkage to the weekly sedra, but that linkage is often mysterious to us non-rabbinical sorts. The whole origin of the Haftorah concept is fuzzy- there are numerous hypotheses, and every one of them has a hole that would make a bagel proud. As is my custom, I’ll blame the rabbis.
Anyway, the Haftorah is there for the Bar Mitzvah to read. Or more properly, sing. And you’re not allowed to pick the tune, there’s a set system called cantillation which specifies how the Haftorah is sung. And Jews being what we are, that’s all confused as well, with about a zillion different cantillation systems in place depending on where you’re from, what book you’re reading, and likely the time of day and the weather. And there’s even different Haftorahs associated with the sedra, depending on which sub-strain of Judaism you’re in.
About six months before the Bar Mitzvah, the poor kid starts taking lessons so he doesn’t fuck up the lyrics or the tune. The cantillation comes first, with a practice set of words with markings- each mark is a musical phrase, so the kid spends hours singing the Jew equivalent of Doe Re Mi before being turned loose on an unsuspecting Haftorah. Then months practicing the Haftorah until it’s practically memorized, though there’s a cheat sheet on the alter to help the kid out on the Big Day. Now just because this is a sadistic tradition, the kid then has to learn the cantillation for the Torah portion, which is a whole different system. And when he sings the Torah part, there’s no vowels or cantillation marks so it’s gotta be memorized as well, no cheat sheets.
After all this, the kid soon finds out that no-one thinks of it as his Bar Mitzvah. Nope, it’s his mother’s Bar Mitzvah. No one is going to say, “Are you going to Barry’s Bar Mitzvah?” but you’ll hear, “Are you going to Shirley’s Bar Mitzvah?” Maybe that’s because of the big party that the family throws afterward, where the kid is given his official Jew Gold and his bag of fake Jew Gold to fool the goyim.
So… why this diversion from the fascinating story from this week’s sedra? It has Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, plagues, and a cast of thousands wearing Egyptian costumes. You’d expect that I’d do a retelling. But when I looked up this week’s sedra to start writing, I had a bit of a startle- IT WAS THE SEDRA AND HAFTORAH FROM MY FUCKING BAR MITZVAH! I’m still traumatized from it. See, because I have a good musical ear and was a bit brighter than average, my rabbi decided that I ought to be especially privileged and honored, so I was forced to learn the entire sedra, not just the usual seventh portion, and had to sing that for my Bar Mitzvah as well as my Haftorah. Thanks, Seymour, thanks a fucking lot. That’s why I’m an atheist now.
At the party afterward, my buddies and I all snuck away and got high, and I got a congratulatory BJ from (((Shelley))), so at least there was that.
*There’s also a horror known as a Bas Mitzvah, or Bat Mitzvah in Sephardic dialect, which applies to 12 year old girls. I shall ignore this entirely because the transition from brat to JAP is not a pleasant one for anyone involved.
**Yes, I know, the other 613 are made up, too. But not by the rabbis. If you’re religious, by Yahweh. If you’re secular, by the priests.

For such a small group you would think it would be hard to factionalize – until you get to know (((them))).
Not at all, trust me on this. I grew up in the Protestant world, and it’s apparently really difficult to agree on what the invisible sky god voices in you head are actually saying.
On they bright side, I can’t imagine the Episcopalians vs the Presbyterians fight being anything slightly more than tossing dinner rolls at each other.

Your typical government incompetence.
Went to SSA office this morning with wifey to fix a problem where the lazy incompetent hacks truncated off part of her last name, caught by E-verify for her new job.
We had an ice storm yesterday and I’m scraping a seemingly impenetrable layer of ice off my car at 8am this morning. 30 minutes later, we’re off to a wonderful government office, always such a pleasure.
Arrived on opening, very few people there, nice. All it takes to achieve that is arriving early and an ice storm.
So after about 15 minutes our number was called and we got to talk to the wonderfully warm and not dull at all SSA employee, who can’t be fired for any reason whatsoever.
So she tells us, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t fix this, it won’t fit’.
And so I said ‘No, you don’t understand, that’s not the way it works. We’re here for help and your job is to help us. Do I need to talk to your supervisor now?’. So she then mumbles something incoherent and disappears, saying she’ll be back.
So about 15 minutes later, she re-emerges with someone else and they tell us they can actually fix the totally not fixable problem. Give us a receipt and say the new card will arrive in 7-10 business days. Trust me, if there is a way these people can NOT help you, they won’t.
she re-emerges with someone else and they tell us they can actually fix the totally not fixable problem.
See, all you needed was the RIGHT beurocrat and everything was A-Okay. This is government is action folks. The RIGHT people is all we need.

This is legit why, if I ever abandon atheism, it’s to (((conversion))) for me. The only religion that actually thinks things through.
My dad was not jewish, but he basically told me something very similar at about that age. Not related to religious misdeeds, but more general misdeeds. When I fucked up, I always had to pay for my fuck ups myself. It tends to make one a little more responsible.
He also had a theory that when a boy turns 13, half his brain quits functioning until he is 24 or so. He’s not entirely wrong.

I enjoy these OMWC. For whatever reason, there aren’t any Jews where I live. Like none. I am largely ignorant of all things Jewish.
As a side note, my non exposure to Jews has always made me wonder about where American anti-semites get their hate from. I don’t get it. My best guess is American anti-semites are just anti-capitalist losers who associate Jews with banks or something.
If you believe in racial traits and supremacy of Intended Posterity, then Jews succeeding can only be because they are horrible cheats. More literate ones might mention Marx, less literate ones Jesus getting nailed.
The Jesus getting nailed bit is extra confusing. That’s the central doctrine of all Christian religion. If the Jews don’t kill Christ, (which they really didnt, they actually just failed to keep him from being killed) then there is no Christian religion.
Yeah, see, that’s about four steps of logic too far for the folks who are pissed about Jesus.

Hey Lachowsky- this may not be the appropriate avenue, but I also have experience with steel, but from an environmental point of view.

Cool. It looks like yall were using election arc furnaces. That’s the same as we use. We don’t make stainless though. All the stuff we make is high alloy and is mostly tied to automotive. crankshafts, wheel hubs, piston rods, axles, bearings, etc.
We roll round bar instead of sheets too, but the process is pretty similiar. Melt shops are something else. I have been here a little over 4 years and I still enjoy watching a furnace tap, or being next to a furnace when they arc on a head charge. you can feel the intensity of the furnace in your chest.
Yup. 2 EAF, 2 AOD, LMF, continuous caster…
The plant permit was based capacity of melting/pouring/casting/rolling 300 MT/hr. Very rarely did that happen- the different parts of the plant could never really synch up. But on a couple occasions when I was in their employ, it happened. It was incredible.
NAS also had a “long-products” mill to do bars, rebar, you name it.
Oh, and 5 Z-mills in the cold shop, and they could roll 400-grade SS down to 5 mil (so they said- I never tested that theory)
metric “tonnes”, not MEGA
I was gonna say, that is a shit ton of steel! Evidently a shit ton is 500 megatons.
That’s real similar to my shop. 2 eaf, one lmf, one VT (I’m assuming that the same process at your AOD. VTD stands for vacuum tank degasser. we put a ladle of steel in a tank, put a lid on it amd then pull down to less than 1 tor. We use a steam boiler and a venturi system to accomplish this.)
I’m curios about your caster. I’m under the impression that continuous casting is becoming more rare. We have a continuous caster that produces round billetts, which apparently we are one of only a few plants in the world who still do this. Apparently that is a big selling point to our customers. Most places rolling round stock cast square billetts. Apparently, we can make make more uniform product by starting with a round billet.
Your place was a bit higher capacity than mine. we run 90 ton an hour. That’s the max we can make it do, but we run at capacity 24/7. We are able to keep everything running properly and at max capacity aver 95% of the time. Being in the maintenance department, the uptime of the plant is the primary metric they use to measure our performance. We regularly hit 98% or better up time.
Uptime! The only Reason We exist, “Keep it going lach, whatever it takes”, heard that before?

They’re losers. So they identify with losers like the Nazis who lost WW2 and the Confederacy which lost the Civil War. I presume they’re Brown’s fans as well.

An interesting topic that I may get to at some point is the transition that happened between antisemitism transitioning from the Right to the Left.
The Alt-Right (Seiler/Vox Day kind, not Milo kind) has been fighting valiantly to reclaim it. Left still has the numbers and institutional supremacy, but they are growing lazy, so the Right may be able to swing it.
Jews: We circumcise our boys and have a special ritual to mark their passage into manhood!
Mardudjara Aborigines: Oh yeah?
***
The rite of passage from boyhood to manhood of the Australian Mardudjara Aborigines consists of two parts: circumcision and sub-incision. Don’t know what sub-incision is? Read on. You’ll be wincing in pain.
When an Aborigine boy comes of age, usually around 15 or 16, the tribal elders will lead the boy to a fire and have him lie down next to it. Tribal members surround the boy while singing and dancing. Another group of men, called the Mourners, wail and cry while the circumcision is performed.
The tribal elder in charge of the circumcision sits on top of the boy’s chest facing his penis. He pulls up the foreskin and twists it so it can be cut off. Two men take turns cutting away the foreskin with knives that they’ve imbued with magical qualities. The boy bites down on a boomerang as the operation takes place.
When the circumcision is complete, the boy kneels on a shield that’s placed over the fire so the smoke can rise up and purify his wound.
While the boy sits there dazed and in pain, the tribal elders tell him to open his mouth and swallow some “good meat” without chewing it. The “good meat” is actually the boy’s freshly removed foreskin. After he’s swallowed a piece of his own wiener, the boy is told that he has eaten “his own boy” and that it will now grow inside him and make him strong.
Now comes the second part of the initiation- the sub-incision. A few months after the circumcision, the tribal elders take the young man again to a fire. An elder sits on the boy’s chest and takes ahold of the boy’s penis. Again, there are singers and men mourning at the ceremony. A small wooden rod is inserted into the urethra to act as a backing for the knife. The operator then takes a knife and makes a split on the underside of the penis from the frenulum (underneath the head of the penis) to near the scrotum.
After the sub-incision, the boy stands above the fire and allows his blood to drip into it. From now on the boy will have to squat when he urinates, just like a woman. In fact, some anthropologists posit that the sub-incision ceremony is done to simulate menstruation, allowing men to sympathize with the females of the tribe.
The ceremonies of the Mardudjara have slowly disappeared as contact with the modern world has increased and each successive generation becomes less willing to make a snack of their foreskin.

I’m no expert, but my semen comes out of the same hole as my urine. If it is coming out at the base of my penis, how am I ever going to get into a woman’s vagina? Seems like this strategy would be very bad for birthrates.

Out of morbid curiosity, I read that whole list you linked. Of the eight rites of passage, Hamar naked cow jumping would be the best. The one you excerpted is actually not the worst, as the Sambia child beating, semen drinking, women fearing indoctrination would probably leave deeper scars. Makes me wonder how all these things got started.
Good article. Interesting stuff.
Did you ever cover the transition from the Saduccees to the Pharisees? I’d be interested in reading that
Not in detail, but I did talk about it a bit in my Chanukkah post. It was really more a matter of the Sadducees disappearing when the temple was destroyed- if the basis of your claim to power is the primacy of the temple and there ain’t no more temple, well, that’s that.
(((Serious Question I’ve wondered about.)))
Why can Jewish people refer to each other by saying, “Oh yeah, he’s a Jew”, but get offended if a gentile refers to some as a Jew rather than as Jewish? Is it like only blacks being able to use the n-word?

From what I can tell, the lefty commitment to Jews is they’ll include them in their tokenist chants, but for the most part lefties are right of the khaki pants tiki torch paraders when it comes to Jews. Palestine, yo.
You are right. I think the swap between right and left began in earnest in the 80s. The rise of the evangelicals lead to an outreach to Isreal specifically and Jews generally. Some part of the right rediscovered the importance of religious pluralism. Meanwhile the left increasingly found Jews didn’t neatly fit into the victim model they have come to relish. Those uppity Isrealis had the bad taste to kick the shit out of anyone who presented a mortal threat. I guess the left found it hard love people who didn’t turn to UN for succor and *gasp* even told them to fuck off because giving in to a death cult wasn’t an option.
Speaking for myself, I never cared.

Among non-literate groups, rites of passage usually involve mutilation. The initiates learn the important stuff and then they get whacked. In the absence of writing, pain is good way to help a memory stick.

Many Native American societies publicly celebrated a girl’s first menses. For instance, the parents of girls among the Luiseño click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced Indians of Southern California proudly announced to the community that their daughters were beginning to menstruate and becoming women. The girls were partly buried in heated sand at this time. They were not permitted to scratch themselves or eat salt, and they were given instructions by older women about the physiological changes that were occurring and how to behave as a woman and wife. For most North American girls today, public announcements that they had begun menstruating would be considered humiliating. However, it was a matter of personal and family pride in many Native American cultures.
While boys do not experience such clear physiological markers of transition to adulthood as menstruation, their rites of passage to this new status in some cultures are more severe than for girls. Among the cattle herding Barabaig click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced culture of East Africa, the boys’ heads are shaved and their foreheads are cut with three deep horizontal incisions that go down to the bone and extend from ear to ear. This scarification leaves permanent scars that identify a male as having received “gar.” Sometimes, the incisions are deep enough to show up on the skulls. Among the Luiseño Indians, boys had to undergo severe ordeals such as laying on red ant mounds and not crying out from pain as they were repeatedly bitten over long periods of time. They were also given toloache click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced, a powerful hallucinogenic drug that made them ill and apparently sometimes caused their death.

He also had several of his incisor teeth knocked out with a sharp rock by the adult men who were instructing him in the duties and obligations of manhood and the secrets of their religion. All of these rite of passage rituals were intended to be painful in order to increase the importance of the transition to adulthood.

The idea is to beat the knowledge into the kids. Sounds like stories my dad tells about catholic grade school. Apparently the nuns used to like to beat the children for incorrect answers.
And Slap your Left hand with a Ruler, No! Left Hand!
Me, not in Catholic school
My Dad went to Catholic School as a wee lad.
When he was 10 or 11, one day in class he was about to be rapped across the palm of his hand for not following the rules of writing correctly, and instead grabbed the pointer and started beating the nun with it, eventually chasing her out of the classroom and out into the hallway.
My Protestant grandfather was somewhat bemused, and declined to punish my dad.
True story: when SP and I moved to Austin, our first house guest was a friend of hers who’s a nun. The general reaction of our friends was, “I’d pay good money to see this.”
Nun related
My grandfather’s sister was a nun. She worked in Japan and in different parts of the U.S. for most of her life. I only met her a few times, but she was a fascinating and highly educated woman.

She sure lived a long and full life. I know vowed religious from a few orders, including SSND and CSSp. I’ve found I generally really like the ones who have done hands-on work making people’s lives better on a practical level, whether in the US or abroad.
People actually devoting their own life and efforts to the service of others is a noble thing. My great aunt did this her whole life. There is much less of this going on today than there used to be.
I blame the welfare state.
That’s how Church of England started!
If I convert to Judaism now is Bar Mitzvah retroactive?
Sounds like I need to become a man and this may be the way to do it.

My Socialist Bar Mitzvah

I spent 20 years in WV. Nobody says Yankee and the reason they don’t is WV was on the *Union* side in the Civil War. They don’t have southern accents either. And there sure as hell weren’t whites-only diners in WV.
However, there is this:
***
1872: “White and colored persons shall not be taught in the same school.” This point-blank requirement for segregated schools was proclaimed in West Virginia’s State Constitution as Article XII Section 8.[14] In a remarkable show of the persistence of such attitudes extending to the highest levels of state government, numerous attempts to remove this from the constitution were defeated in the state legislature until it was finally repealed in November 1994.
***
Kind of silly considering the percent of nonwhites in WV.
My Mom was from WV, she had Ohio accent
Ohio has, according to my ear, 5 distinct dialects/accents.
You need to be more specific.
You tell me, i’m not from there, SE? sounds Good. Her Parents were Hazard County Kentucky Coal miners, Surname of Cole, go figure
So, she born a coal miners daughter?
https://youtu.be/f9eHp7JJgq8
I learned on this site that Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gale are sisters.
Go figure.
Don’t that make your brown eyes blue.
I never knew that either. I thought Crystal Gayle was sisters with Linda Gail, the singer who did an album with Van Morrison, and just found out that’s wrong.
C. Anacreon, is this the song you are referring to?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLqqZmNFa_A
Beaners!
OK, it breaks down like this:
You got SW Ohio (me). We tend to sound more kentucky-esque (Cain-tuky)
Then you have SE Ohio, which I would say more a dirty WV. They’d say KIHN (not HIHN)-tuckey
Then Central Ohio, where its flat and boring. Like the landscape, like Columbus (not THE Ohio State tho, in case Sloppy is watching)
NW Ohio sounds like Detroit and Michiganders
NW Ohio sounds like Buffalo-ese, with most every sound made through the nose
Baby, you diggin it the most!
damn my beer-fingers.
NW Ohio = Detroit
NE = Buffalo (or even more annoying, W. Pa)
Sloppy = Sloppy
Um, I’m Californian, my Family is FROM there, I have no idea what you’re talking about
If it wasn’t repealed until 1994, the West Virginia school was operating in violation of the constitutions for 30 or so years.
I guess that’s Okay. The U.S. government has been operating in violation of its constitution probably since 1790.

https://www.jta.org/2017/04/27/news-opinion/united-states/this-sunday-school-teaches-jewish-kids-yiddish-and-socialism
***
“Socialism is the idea that everyone should have what they need,” says the teacher, Hannah Temple, as a projector flashes images of a protest sign and Jewish immigrants marching in a labor demonstration. On the walls, multicolored signs declare “Jewish communities fight for $15” — a minimum wage campaign — “We are all workers” and “Remember the Triangle Fire,” a reference to the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire that killed 146 garment workers at a factory and galvanized the labor movement.
Temple teaches the children words to a Yiddish May Day anthem and offers a short primer on early 20th century labor activism.
“We need to sleep some, we need to work some, but we need some time that’s for us,” she says, describing the campaign for an eight-hour workday. She invites the few dozen students and parents in the room to a May Day protest in downtown Manhattan. A few hands go up.
“Maybe?” she asks. “Maybe is great.”
The Yiddish sing-along-cum-socialist teach-in is the morning meeting of the Midtown Workmen’s Circle School, a secular Jewish Sunday school that combines Yiddish language and culture education with progressive social justice organizing. It’s one of eight such schools, called “shules,” in four states serving a total of 300 students aged 5 to 13 — teaching them everything from an Eastern European melody for the Four Questions to how to protest on behalf of underpaid fast-food workers. The curriculum ends with a joint bar/bat mitzvah ceremony for the seventh-graders.
…
Workmen’s Circle isn’t shy about its political leanings. Following the presidential election, it made a lapel pin bearing the faces of Sanders and Trump accompanied by the words “mensch” and “putz,” respectively.
…
And instead of helping Yiddish speakers integrate into America, the organization’s cultural mission has flipped, preserving and promoting an old world culture for American Jews.

Fortunately there are perfect words in Yiddish for this:
Shmegegge: Someone who is both untalented and petty.
Shmendrik: A stupid jerk; someone who is thin and weak, a runt or pipsqueak; also, someone of little worth with an inflated ego.
I learned Yiddish From Mel Brooks
The greatest Jew who ever lived (sorry, Erasmus, Einstein and Israel Tal).
Why is it I recognize Michael Cera instantly, but not the busty chick you shopped in?
At the party afterward, my buddies and I all snuck away and got high, and I got a congratulatory BJ from (((Shelley))), so at least there was that.
Dare we ask, given that you were 13 at the time, just how old (((Shelley))) was?
*cues up Simon and Garfunkel*
G_d no.
OMWC was already a big fan of the police.
What’s with G_D? Is see Q do it in his posts, so I assume is a jew thing. Are yall not allowed to write down god or something?
Yeah, it’s a Jew thing; there’s a lot of significance attached to names. For example, when the word Yahweh appears in the Torah or a prayer, a Jew will not say it, but substitute “Adonai” (Lord). Some Jews won’t even do that, but will say “Hashem” (the Name). So this is tied to the “don’t take his name in vain” stuff. “God” isn’t his name, but it’s close enough traditionally that it’s hyphenated out. Sort of like the asterisks when someone doesn’t want to write “fuck.”
Ok
that makes sense.
“Hashem doesn’t owe us answers, Larry”
God, no.
Before i answer that, what’s the statute of limitations?
Statutes come and go, shame lasts forever.
In most states, ~7 years for non-capital crimes committed in the 20th century. The statutes of limitations have been creeping up this century, so your creeping is getting increasingly dangerous.
The first time I got drunk amd the first time I got to 2nd base were at catholic church events. Who says all religions are equal?
Hey Lachowsly, my short term lurking memory is flawed and doesn’t work very well. Did I read something the other night regarding yourself where congratulations are in order?
Yeah. Thanks. My wife and I went to this doctor this morning to confirm.
The bun is in the oven. I repeat, The bun is in the oven.
Little Lachowsky #2 has been cooking for about 10 weeks. We are excited. It’s been more than 5 years since #1. We kind of thought it wasn’t going to happen again.
Congrats. My brother and SIL have been trying for awhile now. So very trying.
Congratulations
(noisemakers, streamers, and party hats for all)
Mrs Gordilocks is 24 weeks along with our first. Looking forward to joining your club.
Awesome. we’re about 10-12 weeks in. I hope yours is healthy. welcome to the breeders club. It’s a lot fun.(both the breeding and the raising of the young)
“Having a family to take care of tends to make one lean more conservative.” this is a fact, and Good on you the misses!
Congratulations to you, too!
Many Glibs seem to be expecting or recent parents. It’s a good thing we are Certified Family Friendly.
I have a poorly formed theory about the members of this site and why they migrated from reason. Most of the glibs are more on the conservative side of libertarianism. Having a family to take care of tends to make one lean more conservative. It seems like most of the glibs either are older or have families.
Thus may amount to a hill of beans and be totally off, but I think there is something there.
Some of us lived under some form of actual Marxism (or at least Revisionism), instead!
Judging by your handle, I’m guessing Poland?
Nope, former Yugoslavia (hence the “Revisionist” part, since we had arguably the sanest Communist government around – tallest midget and all that notwithstanding).
The handle comes from a character in one of my favorite historical fictions (I’d argue better than Musketeers saga) which is indeed set in 17th century Poland.
I think Lachowskys theory probably covers many of the glibs. Having kids made me way more conservative. Makes you think more in terms of cycles and patterns within generations rather than seeing the present as what the past has been building towards.
BOOM! Goes the dynamite.
Congratulations! Keeping that factory humming right along, on and off the job.
Well, when it comes to statists.

Woohoo! Congratulations!

Funny, the first time I got drunk (and got to second base) were at Catholic church events as well (and I’m not (and wasn’t) even Catholic).
Maybe in Arkansas, the Baptists stayed repressed longer than the Catholics.
I think it’s the protestant alcohol prohibition thing. Joke-
What’s the difference between Catholics and baptists?
The Catholics say hello to one another at the liquor store.
What will you find whenever you see four Catholics together? A fifth.
CUCK ALERT:
Cops and the criminal justice system are so much harder on those who lack male privilege
What a load of horseshit (that section in particular). Of course it IS the Washington Post, so I shouldn’t be surprised.
It is sort of funny that they mention Mitchum getting two months, portraying it as getting off lightly, while mentioning Leeds getting two months like it was Draconian.
They’re harder on those who lack cop privilege.

Glad to hear it. Hopefully it keeps Halford busy and away from Baby Metal.
Speaking of going to the doctor. There was a sign posted at wife’s doctors office in the window. I don’t remember the exact text, but it said something to the effect of –
“Starting in January of 2018, all chronic pain management prescriptions will no longer be filled at this office. Acute pain may be managed, but if you need chronic pain management, please contact the pain management clinic.”
Fucking drug warriors wonder why people are dying of fentanyl overdoses. Fuck them.
I remember a period when I was trying to get an appointment with a doctor to take care of a sebaceous cyst on my back, and at many of the offices, the receptionist told me very early in the conversation that they do not prescribe opiate painkillers.
I have a close Relative that, USED to have a scrip for opiates, when they didn’t autofill, He was pissed, But he went from using them to Slinging them so I got Larfs,
I hate fakes

My wife is going through the same BS, I feel for them both
As I’ve said on this site before, I’m very worried about this ridiculous overreaction to legitimate pain treatment. With my bone marrow cancer, which crushed my spine from the inside out, and has lost me six inches of height (and counting), I’ve been able to continue working 50-60 hour weeks doing patient care as a physician for the past six years since my cancer was diagnosed. I’m on the exact same daily regimen for pain meds for almost all of those six years, never increasing, never abusing, never ‘losing the bottle’ or asking for a preliminary refill or getting more meds from another doc — yet the pharmacist treats me more suspiciously than a teenager asking for condoms. Take away these meds, and my tolerable level of pain (note: tolerable, not absent) will become intolerable, and I’ll have to go on disability rather than being a productive member of the community. Just so you can all you posers can say you’re doing something about some ‘crisis’ which you all created, because a few years ago you said we doctors weren’t taking pain seriously enough, and made us take extra training and add a 1-10 pain scale as ‘the fifth vital sign. And although everyone has stories about doctors refusing to prescribe these meds, you continue to insist that opiates are ‘over-prescribed’ in the USA.
I’m able to live with pain but not excruciating pain. I’m already maxing on Motrin and Aspirin in addition to my opiates, there are no alternatives to this appropriate regimen I’m on and using consistently and reasonably. Why do you want to deny treatment to people who need it?
Damn, my problems today are nothing. If you want to find out who rules you, find the person who determines the amount of pain you can stand. God speed to you.
*shakes head*
Damn C. It’s amazing that people can’t seem to grasp what you just said. This whole opiate panic is really screwing over people who need those meds. Sending you the best and look forward to another meetup.
That pisses me off C. It really does. There are a lot of people with problems like yours who have already been cut off from the legit pain medicine they need. A lot of them are now using street drugs because of it. It’s a tragedy. Literally. Drug warriors deserve to burn in hell for what they do to people.
And how. If there is a reckoning then I hope they comecto understand how much damage they’ve done.
Gave the second episode of Jean Claude van Johnson another try. Glad I did. Loads of fun, just likes a classic van Damme movie. And Kat Foster… yum yum.
I liked the pilot, but I don’t have Amazon Prime.
If you have never seen JCVD I would definitely recommend it. I still haven’t seen the van Johnson show.
I saw it when it came out and loved that too! van Johnson is in a similar vein. I give Jean Claude van Damme a lot of credit for playing a version of himself again complete with jabs and insults to his career and acting.
I never had so much respect for Jean Claude until after I watched that. What a performance.
Great post OMWC, I always enjoy these glimpses into another piece of the world.
Well the KY weather is fucking me nice and hard this winter, we’re jumping from 40 to single digits and now this week have gone from 12 degrees on Sunday to 60 tomorrow and back down to 9 on Saturday.
I already feel my sinuses contracting in horror.
Truly the spirit of Al Gore is a wrathful one.
I still like California for this,We have 4 Seasons, Hot, Hotter, Hottest, and Less Hot, it’s 49 right now, pretty cold, but it can get into the low 20s. I know everyone laughs but, when you ar used to 70-90 degree weather , it’s Cold!
I like San Diego, just not any of the politics.
I love California, I’m a native, but the Government? I’m really having a conflict about Bailing to AZ, and I can, but I don’t want to leave my home,
I do as well. I really do not want to leave this state to the fuck ups that helped to fuck it up. A move to Nevada or another western state will happen sooner or later though. I was born in SF and have lived other places, but I have young kids so a big move now is not exactly easy.
Don’t fuck your kids up like that!
We moved to CO when the Kids were Young thinking about fresh air and fresh lives, Big Mistake! nothing but losers who had nothing better to do than screw and get on the Dole,We bailed for my Daughters Sake, YMMV, but your kids come first! Always!
Indeed. My personal preference would be living half of every year in the Sierras or the Rockies and half on the southern Baja Coast. That dream will have to wait about 15 years or so. Kids do come first. They get to see both of those places thankfully.
I work with a guy who used to own a hydraulic repair shop in detroit. He had a good business and was making a ton of money. When he started seeing that living in Detroit was having detrimental effects on his 7 kids, he packed his shit up, sold his business, and moved to rural arkansas. He said it’s one of the best things he ever did for his kids.
It was 55 degrees thus afternoon and my pond is still frozen over. I know what you mean. This up and down weather plays hell on my sinus as well.
Says the Guy that HAS A POND!

Thanks K. I had begun to think we just werent going to have another one. So it’s a bit of surprise, and I’m still wrapping my head around it. I’m pleased though.
Almost done. Off to govt office number 4 to hand in all the docs I got from 1-3 today. Stop off for coffee and old man is sitting next to me. Keeps looking at me and apparently wants a chat. Headphones in so I’ll ignore him. Squirrelly little bastard won’t sit still. Happens a lot in the city but almost never in the rural areas. Massive underclass of lonely pensioners ignored by their families. You fuckers pushed for more govt, why don’t you go talk to big brother if you’re so lonely?

HAha, new business model; a retirement community that takes the elderly out on daily visits to government offices to pester the employees.
They love them the health clinics. No charge over 65 or so. They treat it as a social club. Zero guilt about sucking up the doctor’s time. Annoying when I pay huge premiums every month, but have to self treat because I don’t have all day to sit in a waiting room.

The last ten minutes of Django Unchained was possibly the worst ten minutes of the entire shitty movie. Somehow made me feel bad seeing racists killed. Good job, Quentin.
I thought Django was great. I laughed my ass off for most of the movie. When the proto klan posse was arguing about not being able to see out their hoods I laughed so hard I damn near pissed myself.
My wife spent all Day cutting Holes out!
I watched that next to my wife who was thankfully asleep during it. What a crappy last 30 minutes. It actually started fairly promising.
Vicious, uncreative murder. Absolutely hated the ending.
I largely felt the same about Inglorious and Kill Bill. In my mind Tarentino made two excellent movies, then made a pretty good one, and then has not delivered much.
Contrast Django and Seven. Does anyone watch the last ten minutes of Seven over and over because they enjoy seeing a psycho killed getting shot in the head?
I like Reservoir Dogs, but I didn’t care for Kill Bill at all. And after Deathproof, I decided that I couldn’t trust Tarantino not to waste my time, so I never saw any of his movies again (other than occasionally busting out my Reservoir Dogs DVD).
You’re not supposed to enjoy seeing the cop tortured in Resevoir Dogs. Django and, as K mentioned, Inglorious Bs we’re asked to take pleasure in graphic mutilation of human beings.
It would be so nice if Trump’s critics criticized him on actual policy, instead a Bad Lip Reading of him singing the anthem is a more valid argument than thousands upon thousands of articles written about him.
So, Today I went to replace the evap coil for the CRITICAL ICU chamber at the Animal Hospital, and the parts that were supposed to be delivered weren’t. I dumped the Charge and pulled the leaking coil, brought in about 200 lbs. of equipment and then sat, for Four Hours! when it was all said and done, the customer felt horrible, and I said, not bad as when you get the bill.
I wasted a day that could have been used helping others, but She will pay, oh yes She will pay
Just pit of curiosity.
Would it be possible to capture and then re compress the refrigerant for reuse when you have to dump a large coil. Refrigerant ain’t cheap and it seems like it would be a good idea to reuse it if possible.
Maybe that’s something you guys already do, but if not it seems like a good idea. I don’t think refrigerant goes bad over time, so I don’t see the downside.
Just make sure you follow the regs.
Yea, I see that all the time, suuure, riiight
I have a recovery unit, every ac contractor HAS one………
“I don’t think refrigerant goes bad over time” until you have a leak, then Contaminants enter the system, the worst being water Vapor.
once in the system, it reacts with the flourine component and breaks down into HydroFlouric Acid, pretty much the most Deadly Gas around.So, your 100$ dollar a pound R-22 system is Hosed, the copper coils have been scored, and you need a new system, The End, of that system

Well, I haven’t felt I’ve done any good on air work in the chances I’ve been given, but my boss seems impressed. I mean, it has been almost 7 years since I was live on air before this, so there is some rust, just expect better from myself. And I guess I’m going to be picking up some more off air hours cuz tonight was the last straw for one guy, so I guess I’ll be picking up his shifts.
DJ? is there a streaming site I can listen to? Lemme know
I have a face for radio. Too bad I don’t have the voice to go with it.
Same here. I was doing the news shift on the college radio station the day the first President Bush threw up in the Japanese PM’s lap.
I was asking Lachowsky about job in fun just now, but it got me thinking? How am I supposed to get out of California? Where? with what Money? backup? i did it once when My Family was Young, but now? Do I ditch all my things my wife and I have collected? who’s going to hire a 55 year old cranky guy? why do i Sound like the Judge? Maybe ZardoZ can Help..

Sometimes it’s hard to tell a young South American gal from a Japanese gal. I can spot a Filipina a mile away. Prefer them in many ways to the nipponese gals.
Almost all of the buy-me-drinkee girls at the bars in Okinawa are Filipinas, which is why my buddy who was Filipino wasn’t interested in them – “If I didn’t want Filipina girls when I was growing up, why would I pay money to be with them now?”

I don’t go here often, YMMV
I like Postrel’s writing. The Future And Its Enemies is an excellent book. The subhead tells you what this article is really about. Its pretty clever IMO.
I like Hoff Summers,She is pretty fair, not stupid, Postrel tap dances around truth,not good IMO
I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. I don’t see her doing that at all.
all writers Tap dance, Some better than others is what I’m saying i guess
Same here in regards to her writing and the book Future and Its Enemies. I didn’t even know she was still writing articles until I read this one. I’ll have to check out a few more.
Her book came out twenty years ago. Where did the time go? I remember reading about it coming out (in reason) and picking up a copy.
Holy shit! I didn’t realize it was that long ago. I’ll have to go revisit it sometime and see how well it held up. I got quite a few of my friends to read it so money well spent.

Seems as good a place a good as any to ask, what’s the SjJW hieriarchy when it comes to circumsion? A little off the top seems to work for hygiene, and American ladies prefer them over uncut. Sorry for all you European guys who think you can just show up with a sexy accent, foreskin is a turnoff.
Them it goes into clitoral circumsision. He’ll it is difficult enough trying to be a decent boyfriend when my girlfriend’s vagina is completely intact. How the duck can I be a loving a boyfriend when when her parents intentionally make intercourse painful?
But it is all the same.
