When I was a kid, my sibs and I weren’t allowed to watch much TV.
The one time we could usually sneak watch was after school. Our folks were both professors – the kind who actually cared about their students – so most days they both held office hours until nearly time to get home for dinner.
They weren’t thrilled to occasionally discover we’d been breaking the rules and doing our homework in front of the TV. However, if it was an ABC Afterschool Special we’d been watching, we would suffer no repercussions from Mom (and Dad would just put up with whatever Mom said).
Why? Because the Afterschool Specials all had a message.

Fast forward to today, when an elderly black baseball player mentions he wouldn’t even go meet a certain white guy.
Have a great rest of your day!
I gotta run and see what’s on TV this afternoon. Don’t tell Mom!

Apparently they made 154 episodes of that shit. And yet, in a way, they are all the same episode. Like Bob Ross and The Joy of Painting. Just with unhappy little trees instead.
Wow, I didn’t know that
I know I’ve seen a bunch for the life of me I can’t recall any of them. Wasn’t there one about a chick trying alcohol and becoming a lush by the end of the week?
I’m sure there is. That’s how the media always portrays addiction. Saved by the Bell’s “I’m so excited” episode is the gold standard though. 1 week on caffeine pills and Jesse Spano becomes a cracked out junkie.

“The foundation asked the experts which five of the 193 United Nations member states they felt were “most dangerous for women and which country was worst in terms of health care, economic resources, cultural or traditional practices, sexual violence and harassment, non-sexual violence and human trafficking,” according to the foundation’s article on the survey.”
Wow very scientific. No chance at all there was bias behind this.
1. India
2. Afghanistan
3. Syria
4. Somalia
5. Saudi Arabia
6. Pakistan
7. Democratic Republic of Congo
8. Yemen
9. Nigeria
10. United States
This is a joke right? And people wonder why nobody believes the media.
Experts in the Field
I’m recycling.
I was hoping it would be something like “Rednecks in the Mist”.
somebody earlier pointed out that South Sudan’s not on the list. and therefore the UN is batshit insane.
Most of the experts they asked were from South Sudan. And also Iran.
Or any of the narco-states to the south of the the U.S.
Yep. That alone makes it utter bullshit. Here’s a charming picture of South Sudan from Wikipedia:
So what they’re saying is, any female “refugees” from Mexico or Central America need to be shipped home immediately, for their own safety?
Fortunately Europe is a haven for women despite whatever you might hear about grooming gangs.

The ‘Denser Breast’ story needs illustrations and maybe some kind of tactile demonstration…
As the Onion reported, a couple of Boy Scouts are all over THAT.
I originally read that as “Denver breasts more prone to cancer”, and felt bad for Q.
Too much pot.

Q has more gray hair than I thought in the picture that accompanies the article.
I thought that was OMWC.
Impersonating a mammogram tech is just what I do for fun on the weekends.
That guy looks like he’s having a blast. Maybe I’ll got back to school for that as my “second act”.
The woman is getting a mammogram, so way too old for OMWC.
The woman has breasts so way too old.
Oh, I meant this article. The guy with Jodie Foster.
That was when she was still hot.

If the ride home from school was especially quick, I’d get to see the last half of Speed Racer. That was the best.

*points finger and screeches* Furry!
I’m shocked no one has suspected me of this yet, considering who my dog is named after….
That said… If I was going to go furry for anyone, it would be Disney’s Robin Hood. Obviously.
well he is pretty foxy.
I like that both Marian and Robin Hood were foxes. Racist Disney could not allow any fox miscegenation to corrupt the young minds of viewers.
The BF argues that the current volume of active furries is a direct result of The Lion King. I blame a renewed interest in the ancient Egyptian religion.
I assume the BF is right, but by Anubis I’m going to be difficult about it.
I can’t support a religion with the dung beetle as Supreme ruler.
Well, obviously foxes are meant to be with foxes only–no questions, move along!
I would expect nothing less, Jesse.

Not a republican.
Not a democrat.
Not a Libertarian (BIG L).
You’re running out of choices.

My little brother used to watch those things. I thought they were intolerably puerile. I’d tell him to put on something with class, like Scooby Doo.
Scooby-Doo was highbrow. But I swear to Dog, if Scrappy-Doo were my dog I’d put the fucker in a gunny sack with a big rock and throw him in a lake. Preferably one with those little bugs that crawl up your dick-hole.
Scrappy was the second cartoon character I thought should be fed into the woodchipper. The first was Gazoo.
You are a trash human being and should feel bad.

“Experts say U.S. among 10 most dangerous nations for women”
This….this is a joke….right? This has to be satire, it’s just too absurd.
I don’t like using this phrase, but in this case…….I can’t even
If that were true, why the fuck are all those Mexican, Honduran, Guatemalan, and Salvadorean women so desperate to come here? Fuck the wall – just distribute copies of that report at the border. “Dios mio, senorita! Don’t you know how dangerous this place is for you???”
Well, shit
Whoa man….I think you just solved illegal immigration.
Wait, are you saying it’s a deterrent? That’s rayciss
I’m just being a dick but if you look at the FBI table blacks account for nearly 30% of rape cases despite being, what, 12% of the population?
I wonder if the experts chomping on hay (see Bobarian’s link) noticed that.

CBS had their own series, which I think were called “CBS Schoolbreak Specials”. I don’t recall NBC doing it.
I preferred game shows.

My favorite was 80s Pyramid (the current version is terribly dumbed down, and hypercaffeinated). One really underrated game show that deserved a longer run was Blockbusters.

They have to estimate the number because it’s too high to keep an accurate count?
They need to account for migrant workers.
My mom was literally Hitler and greatly limited our television as well. When we got home from school we had to go outside and find things to do.
I think it’s one of the reasons I became a voracious reader.
We had one TV in the house and 6 kids. I just went outside and smoked pot.
I became a voracious reader because it was the only thing there was to do while grounded. Future libertarian Negroni started out life as Oppositional Defiant Disorder Negroni. I was grounded A LOT.
My mom was a hoarder, and we inherited the grandparents’ back issues of National Geographic and Reader’s Digest. I had a very weird reading list growing up.
Oh, that and the World Book Encyclopedia.
So, you’re saying you have a thing for droopy boobs?
Fact: I read the World Book Encyclopedia when I was in fifth grade. I was bored with class and this was available.

Young Lachowsky had a serious case of opposition to authority. Medium age Lachowsky still does, but is able to work around it a lot better than I used to.
I’d wager that a very large percentage of libertarians caught the liberty bug by being oppositional assholes first, and only became principled deontologists later.
#metoo
I have an attitude and need a philosophy to justify it.
You’re not the boss of me!
I’m the boss of me!
I’m probably one of the few exceptions to the rule. I was a goody two-shoes who woke up one day and realized that rules were unimportant without legitimate authority backing them
I think something that set me on the path to libertarianism was being forced to go to school. Even in kindergarten, I remember having this idea (which I could not yet articulate) that it was inherently wrong to force me to come to this place. It was way beyond the typical dislike of school that almost every kid has; it was a conviction that there’s something deeply immoral about the government mandating me to come to this place, shut up, and do what I’m told. It also gave me a strong resentment of phrases like, “because I said so” and “because it’s the law“. Therefore, I felt completely justified in skipping school and being completely defiant when I did show up.
I never had a problem with work though, even when I was 14. I recognized very early on that work is far better than sitting in a government school – you actually get something in return, and you can end your employment if you’re not satisfied.
I eventually got grounded from reading. They had trouble grounding me from staring off into space with a smile on my face and a vacant expression though.
Whaaaaa…..? Grounded from reading? What kind of monsters were your parents?
They must break him.
What kind of monsters were your parents?
It’d be unfair to call them monstrous, but they figured out what worked with one of their kids and then failed to adapt for any of the rest. It made very weird as one of the ones they never put the effort in to manipulate properly, but yeah we had a lot of “you’re goofing up badly if you’re grounding your kid from reading” conversations that didn’t necessarily go over well.
Well if you use privilege deprivation as a punishment…..you take away the privileges they like the most. Like if you took away TV, video games, Internet, toys, etc I didn’t give a fuck. I would happily read all day long. Like yeah it sounds horrible, but if I, just for example, kick my brother out of a window…..you have to punish me somehow. It wasn’t punishment to make me sit in my room with all my bookshelves.
And your hand down the front of your pants?
I know someone who had that happen as well. It was because they were reading so much that they weren’t doing anything else…chores, school work, going outside, etc.
That was basically the issue. I’d start reading a book and do nothing else until I was done. They done broke me of that but good. Now I can barely sit down with a book unless I’m trapped in a plane between two slumbering people and none of the movies are good.
I had a student like that. Fucking teaching hated it
Seems we have quite a few of us who were voracious readers when young. I was reading novels when I was in 2nd grade (some of which I probably shouldn’t have read that young), usually at the rate of 1 every 2 days. My dad wanted to vet my reading, while my mom asked him if he could keep up. I was still permitted to read whatever I wanted.
Reading is for fags.
Heh, me too.
Admit it. It really was Fabio on all those covers that engendered a love of reading.
That hair…
It does come in handy for wiping up after a tough day battling Hate Birds
Let’s not forget this great moment in After-School Specials: Helen Hunt snorting PCP and jumping out a window.

I just went to the AT&T store to get a new phone. My experience was that their Millennial employees deserve a public beating. And the couple of older people are the only ones capable of giving competent customer service.
At least they’re providing good service to the NSA.
https://theintercept.com/2018/06/25/att-internet-nsa-spy-hubs/

Yeah, but Gemini’s are worse.
Hey now. Just bc a millenial gemini barista fucked up your coffee doesnt mean were all bad
Lachowsky, I’ve read enough of your comments to understand perfectly that my comments don’t apply to you. Hell, I’d exempt at least a couple of my nieces and nephews from my comment. And it was specific to my experience at AT&T. Basically, I was next to be served. Explained the problem to the customer service worker and, after a pause, she responded that another person who got there after me was next in queue, leaving me hanging. Her loss, I guess, I bought a new phone, wireless speakers and a battery case.
If you’d ended it with “And some, I assume, are good people” it would have came off better. 😉
as a millennial, I agree. I went into the AT&T store on Sunday to switch my account over to their prepaid plan (which is $40/month cheaper for more data). This after calling their customer service 3x and going into a non-corporate AT&T store and not being able to get them to do it. This millennial asshole, who looked like he’d rather be dropping acid than helping me out, punched in my info, got an error and said “nope, can’t help ya buddy. call customer service.” Despite my protestations and explanation that customer service sent me to him, he walked me to the door and grabbed the next customer in line.
Trshmnstr, unless you go to the supervisor of the tier 3 support folks, ATT wont even consider switching you to prepaid

Sorry for the out-of-place reply, but something’s going on that the page isn’t loading fully on my smartphone. Can’t scroll all the way to the bottom.
Basically, the disclaimer section at the bottom of the page has always shown up someplace above the bottom on my smartphone, with blac bars on the side of the page. If the “reply” button is there, good luck replying.
Now, however, the site won’t let me scroll past that point.
I have the same problem. I turn on screen rotation and turn my phone sideways and it allows me to go past the black bars.
Trying to click on a link also screws things up.
Glad to know I’m not the only one having the problem.
What browser and OS are you using? Nothing has changed on our end; no server upgrades, WP-theme-plugin updates.
I don’t have a problem on my phone, but I am certainly eager to look into it and see what I can do for you.
Chrome on Android.
I added some code to suppress the footer on mobile. See if it helped, please.
Still having problems. The black bars were always there in the past, but I never had scrolling problems.
I’ll try to replicate on my super secret private phone that matches your system.
I can’t make it have a problem on my Android in Chrome. I’ll poke around some and see if I can find any solutions online anywhere.
I think it’s KitKat; I haven’t updated the system in a while and it’s an old phone (LG Transpyre). But the phone for the most part does what I want it to do.

Have to correct myself, Obama was going to use them as refugee camps during that whole dust-up. Bit of a different scenario.

Saw a couple kids selling lemonade today. Shoulda stopped and asked to see their permit. Anybody does that around here and they run out of town.
I did have a dissapoint though yesterday. I say two little girls (6 or 7) riding their bikes down the street and while no supervising adult was in sight, they had helmets and were wearing them. First time I’d seen unaccompanied kids wearing helmets.
You should have called the cops
Kids were selling lemonade on my street last week. No one called the cops. Then again, Montreal/Quebec is pretty chill when it comes to stuff like that.
Unless their signage is in English instead of French…. Then it’s off to the Canadian Bastille or the maple syrup mines.
They were BILINGUAL!
The father I think is from Poland.
The rule when I was a kid was you had to wear helmets when mountain biking or going off of jumps. Just riding around the neighborhood you didn’t need to.

I knew I had watches some of those after school specials as a kid but I couldn’t remember what any of them were. Looking at the episode list one of them sounded familiar, and sure enough once I looked it up on YouTube, it was the one – High School Narc. Seriously. Several familiar actors in it, too.
Just add this to the progs are pernicious pieces of shit file:

What is democracy, if not progressives getting whatever the fuck they want? Decades of hard work is going down the drain as progs lose their stranglehold over the media. Combine it with the charter school movement, and it’s complete god damn anarchy here! We can’t have people going off the reservation.
It’s a sad, sad thing that I’ve never heard even one of these mendacious cunts making statements like this called out for it. They aren’t questioned. They aren’t asked to define the terms they use. They throw a word like democracy out there as if it has some magical connotations that everyone agrees upon. How will democracy function? The way it always has. With people voting for moronic candidates out of a lack of better options/stupidity. That’s what democracy is. It isn’t based on the stupid mythical values you assign to it…or at least pretend to when you are trying to get your own fucking way.
When one of my kids was younger, I had a discussion with her about what she thought “fair” meant. After some time we determined that to her, “fair” meant that she got her way. I thought that was messed up. Until recently, when I realized that many adults still hold that definition of “fair”.
“They throw a word like democracy out there as if it has some magical connotations that everyone agrees upon.”
Democracy is the modern equivalent of monarchs claiming their power is just because god has given them the right to rule. It’s that simple. Deep down, most people understand that one person shouldn’t have dominion over another, so they need an excuse to justify it. Doesn’t matter if its god or democracy, it’s just an excuse. Of course, it’s easy to claim only you can interpret god and then do his (your) will. They need something that lets them claim democracy is on their side to keep doing their will even when the polls show it isn’t. Hence, the entire Russia narrative and fake news thing.

“…he warned that if Google and other platforms enable every American to personalize his or her own news sources, it is “very difficult to figure out how democracy works over the long term.”

Hillary: “Abolish the Electoral College”

My God.
They truly live in an alt-reality.
Is she talking about that bitch who hasn’t shut the fuck up about losing an election for nearly 2 years.
I’d like to know how he planned to “burn it down”.
Ask the Suicide Commandos!
Well of course HRC wants the electoral college to go away- she knows she can win a popular vote just on a platform of feelz and free shit. Cause she did. She also recognizes that the electors see her as the contemptible otherworldly piece of corrupt absolute shit she is, and they slammed the brakes on her coronation.
Eh, the Trump Campaign Woman had a good point about that. Conway ran the campaign to win the most electoral votes, HRC thought she had the electoral vote in the bag and and was spending money in places like GA and TX because she thought she could have a HISTORIC MANDATE. Trump spent the final month crisscrossing the Midwest trying to win what mattered. Clinton thought she was just going to run up the score.
The Trump campaign set out to win the election, the Clinton campaign set out to ZOMG SHATTER THE CEILING WITH A BLUE WAVE. Image over reality.
If we went to nationwide popular vote, I wonder how many conservative voters in places like CA, NY, IL, and a bunch of other places would come back to the polls to lend their weight to the GOP presidential candidate.
Here’s a video of the contents of some glitter cannons being dumped unceremoniously into a garbage bin. Apparently, the Clinton campaign had them prepared to fire off when her victory was announced to symbolize breaking the “glass ceiling”.
I enjoyed watching that over and over in the days following the election.
I wonder how many conservative voters in places like CA, NY, IL, and a bunch of other places would come back to the polls to lend their weight to the GOP presidential candidate.
Given that the last conservative GOP presidential candidate was in 1964, and that they’re unlikely to nominate another one, my guess is “not many.”
You forgot illegal and stolen votes.
Yea, I never understood that either, or the freakout over his comments about “not accepting the results of the election” (which are of course, deliciously poignant now that the Democraps are the ones not accepting results of an election).
What do they think he’s going to do, raise an army of busboys and bellhops and take over the White House?
Secret Nazi Bellhop?
That just say whatever whenever it suits their purposes. They have no principles or scruples whatsoever.

Elton said, if you can’t write the lyrics right then, Completely, just stop, you’re wasting your time…
And yet, someone else wrote his lyrics? Which I always thought interesting, because I felt Bernie Taupin’s lyrics actually detracted from Elton’s music in a number of instances.
They broke up about the time of “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest word” Elton wrote those lyrics
And Elton had to fit Bernie’s lyrics to his Music, which isn’t always easy……

Yes.

Ooo, tough one. I didn’t know that was called the Gonzalez flag, but now that I do it’s a toss-up. I have a big Gadsden flag but may need to add a Gonzalez flag to the collection.
I got a Gonzalez flag sweatshirt at the Alamo. It has been interpreted as me offering sex quite a bit as it looks a bit like a condom and “come and take it” at first glance. I was accused of being inappropriate at a major family event because of it.
Of course I wore this and a kilt* to Christmas, so…
*my extended family gets the same pajamas Christmas eve so Christmas day photos will look good. The ones they got me were XXL and went a foot past my feet, and the Gordon Comfy Kilt the BF got me happened to be the same pattern.
I’m going to be very disappointed if you tell us you weren’t behaving inappropriately.

Lisa: “One thing I’ve always wondered, how can Fox News be so conservative when the Fox network keeps airing such raunchy shows? They don’t fit together!”
Kent Brockman: “Fox deliberately runs shows that will earn them huge fines which are then funneled through the FCC straight to the Republican party. Everybody in the media knows it, but no one has the guts to say it”
Government agencies give money out of their budget to political parties? I am a bit skeptical. Where is the paperwork on these fines?

Strange. Assange wanted very little in return, at least to start negotiations. He had leverage in the form of the looming threat to release documents on America’s hacking toolkit which they desperately wanted to avoid. What could have been the motivation?
Here we are. Two years removed. And I’ve yet to see anything resembling real evidence that Russia was responsible for the DNC email leaks.
Look, maybe it was Russia, maybe it wasn’t. The thing we know for sure is that Seth Rich was killed in a botched robbery.
It’s an extra special sort of botched robbery when you killed the guy, there were no witnesses, and you didn’t manage to rob anything.
Who else could it be?! You can’t be implying it was our Democratic angels? I can’t even!

5. You’re a fucking linguist with the NSA. The judge already knows that, you stupid, stupid creature.

I cant remember the quote so I will paraphrase. Not long ago someone quoted a german engineer who helped design and build the Berlin wall.
“Don’t you see? We had to build the wall. Too many people were leaving for the west and socialism needs people. We had to keep them here to show them that socialism works.”
He said this after the collapse of the USSR and fall of the wall. Just let that sink in, if you dare.
I’m not really sure how Europe has been lulled into such a state of passiveness only a generation after a horrific war was fought on their very own soil. What the fuck is wrong with them? Have they really forgotten completely about what the Nazis and Soviets did to them? Is there something in the water?
I was pondering something today. How long before the Union Jack is outlawed in the UK? A symbol of the patriarchy and colonialism. Not to mention that flags or countries symbolize Patriotism I.e.

“Thermostats, Locks and Lights: Digital Tools of Domestic Abuse
SAN FRANCISCO — The people who called into the help hotlines and domestic violence shelters said they felt as if they were going crazy.
One woman had turned on her air-conditioner, but said it then switched off without her touching it. Another said the code numbers of the digital lock at her front door changed every day and she could not figure out why. Still another told an abuse help line that she kept hearing the doorbell ring, but no one was there.
Their stories are part of a new pattern of behavior in domestic abuse cases tied to the rise of smart home technology. Internet-connected locks, speakers, thermostats, lights and cameras that have been marketed as the newest conveniences are now also being used as a means for harassment, monitoring, revenge and control.
In more than 30 interviews with The New York Times, domestic abuse victims, their lawyers, shelter workers and emergency responders described how the technology was becoming an alarming new tool. Abusers — using apps on their smartphones, which are connected to the internet-enabled devices — would remotely control everyday objects in the home, sometimes to watch and listen, other times to scare or show power. Even after a partner had left the home, the devices often stayed and continued to be used to intimidate and confuse.
Some people do not believe the use of smart home devices is a problem, said Ruth Patrick, who runs WomenSV, a domestic violence program in Silicon Valley. She said she had some clients who were put on psychiatric holds — a stay at a medical facility so mental health can be evaluated — after abuse involving home devices.
“If you tell the wrong person your husband knows your every move, and he knows what you’ve said in your bedroom, you can start to look crazy,” she said. “It’s so much easier to believe someone’s crazy than to believe all these things are happening.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/23/technology/smart-home-devices-domestic-abuse.html
I completely fail to understand why anyone would put up with this sort of shit. GET OUT! GET THE FUCK OUT! Staying in the house seems like tacit permission for the abuse to continue.
It’s like owning an Audi. If you keep fixing it, it’ll keep breaking. Repairing it is just giving it another opportunity to fail. How many times are you going to put up with it breaking down before you wise up and send it to the crusher where it belongs?
I think the guy from Hoovie’s Garage always said that about BMW or Mercedes. “Always leave 1 thing broken”.
Or you could get lucky and sell it to some sucker “as is” for a handful of cash!
We either have to start up the department of poltergeist, DOPE, hey, it’s a jobs program!, or we have to end all technology, since it’s now more obvious than ever that it’s just a tool of the patriarchy.
Me: Alexa, can you swim?
Alexa: No, I can not swim.

Who in their right mind would have one of those things in their house? We already know they built a backdoor into the thing for the NSA. Big Brother has nothing on these fuckers.
I just got a fire TV stick with a remote with Alexa voice control. So I assume I’m being spied on even though it’s still in the box, I mean right through the box. When she least expects it, I shall smash her and hurl her into the wild unknown.
Being too lazy to change your wireless password is now domestic abuse.
Don’t some of these devices do call out or call back? I’m not sure of the term, so changing the WiFi password is not enough, or something.
I was under the impression that smart home devices were accessing your wireless to function, so–say–ringing the doorbell remotely was possible due to authenticating as a user by having the wireless password.
Eh, I don’t know.
That is correct – your “smart” devices need to be added to a wireless network (presumably yours), then they’ll have another layer of authentication with the company – Nest/Ring/whathaveyou.
Changing your wifi password will keep them from calling home / accepting commands remotely. But since that largely defeats the purpose, you want to 1) change your wifi password then 2) update them with the new wifi password, then change the login creds on Nest/Ring/whatever.
Technology in people’s homes; women and children hardest hit.
It started with heating, I mean way back when, and then the next thing you know, electricity. But that wasn’t enough for the patriarchy, then they went on to invent refrigeration, AC, and then… the horror of horrors, radio, TV, and … god help us all, the internet. We must end all of this and go back to living in caves, for the children.
I CAN MAKE FIRE!
Racist! Oh wait… we were all still in Africa when that happened… never mind, I have to regroup with my woke comrades to figure this out.
The C in HVAC stands for “Combustion”?

I agree. Bringing an Alexa/Google Thing into a home is domestic abuse and should be fought relentlessly.
A close family friend has had one of these since the 1980s
true story: a saudi prince had ordered like a dozen of them in matching colors. one’s paint color was slightly off, so he demanded it be sold and replaced immediately. My friends dad bought it for a song for like ~1/4 what they originally went for), and proceeded to mothball it. he’d bring it out like twice a year for maintenance purposes and go on cruise upstate. it was like flying in a private jet.
