Some of you may get the impression that we at Glibertarians really enjoy beating up on Brett for being insanely unreliable. That couldn’t be further from the truth; we enjoy beating up on Brett for his Brettness. His fickleness and last minute ghosting on links duty is just a convenient excuse for a verbal soap party.
The British government is trying to tackle loneliness with prescription dance and cooking classes. I just spent a week in an independent living facility and I can see the value in that kind of socializing. The proposals are less ridiculous than the mandatory broccoli, but it’s interesting to watch state run healthcare trot down this course.
Speaking of the Brits: Duchess Meghan, Prince Harry are expecting their first child in the spring…*cries*. I’m a little annoyed Megan Duchess of York news keeps getting floated for me just because I tried to find the uncensored version of the pics from that one party Harry attended that one time.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West met with Yoweri Museveni, whose leadership of Uganda is almost as old as I am. I don’t know why but I find everything about this passage mind-blowing:
The President [Museveni] earlier in the day tweeted, “I welcome American entertainment stars Kanye West and @KimKardashian to Uganda. I held fruitful discussions with the duo on how to promote Uganda’s tourism and the arts.”
This is a man whose presidency is old enough to be a Millenial and he’s @ing Kim Kardashian like it’s just what you do.
You guys may have Autumn with your blaze of orange, red and gold leaves, but a California Fall is ablaze with…you know… actual fire. Also I was just in the greater Rochester area this last week and I’d like to call shenanigans on this whole Autumn thing. It was 83°F, humid and sunny the whole time.
And because everyone likes Shakira covered in crude oil, your music of the day.

Don’t tell me how to beat up on Brett!
What the hell is a soap party anyway? Is it anything like a blanket party?
A soap party is when you knock the soap out of someone’s hand in a prison shower. Which counts as a fumble, so everyone tries to recover the soap, but the rules say you can’t use your hands.
So you are saying it’s even more gay than soccer?
No, but eventually it did evolve into soccer as we know it today.
Why does the Navy use powdered soap?
It takes a lot longer to pick-up.
It’s like this, but every so slightly friendlier.
I had the same question as Bob
I was expecting the scene from FMJ. Both good movies.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. They mean the same thing.
I noticed that on Drudge, the line is ‘Prince HAIRY on the way’
Why do you think Jesse keeps posting pics?

I’m imagining a hairball
nope just hairy balls.
I was imagining a “present’ like a cat leaves you on the carpeting, one that’s not a hairball.
Or perhaps a present to ladle out of a steaming bucket, like the fan favorite “Diarrhea of Anne Frank”.

Me too. We got 7 fucking inches of snow this weekend. We skipped fall and went straight to winter.
Same here – Canada took care of that right good this week.
Yesterday in Austin, high of 89. Today, high of 45.
Your temperatures dropped faster than me spotting a cop on the highway.
You live in the wrong place if it is snowing in October.
I live in the wrong place!
My dog certainly thinks so. We just moved to Colorado and our dog has never seen snow before. He was not happy at all and has to be dragged outside and yelled at to take a shit. I hope he gets used to it soon…
My dog walked into the bedroom this morning, locked eyes with me and took a huge piss where he stood.
Needless to say, I was not amused.
Damn. Sounds like an angry pup. What did you do to piss him off?
He’s never been the same since the baby came. The pissing on the floor thing is relatively new, but he has been relapsing into various bad habits we trained out of him.
ahhhh yeah. I can see that. Our dog is such spoiled little shit I can only imagine how he would react if we procreated or brought another pup home.
You need to let the two go out in the yard and fight to settle things. Everything will be fine after they get it out of their system.
I should’ve reached out earlier when I knew my trip to Ft. Collins was coming! Turns out I had quite a bit of free time and spent most of it getting drunk at various breweries while watching the snow fall. Nice town! I’ll have to find an excuse to visit again.
Have the baby piss on the dog. Problem solved.
Right on. Where’d you do your drinking? I still have about 15 breweries to try around here. This place is pretty damn awesome.
Friday was C
Friday was CSU homecoming which is apparently a big deal. We went to check out the parade and it was hilariously shitty. Pretty much every single float looked like a hungover college kids put it together in about 10 minutes while hungover that morning.
Still it was a great excuse to go out and start day drinking.
Odell’s and Red Truck. They went to funkwerks and equinox without me.
awww man. You were walking distance from my house. I can be at Odell’s in 10 minutes.
Mine loves snow. Too bad for him, he lives in the mid-Atlantic where we only get a little snow each year.
I taught my dog to shit on command. When she was a puppy, every time she was taking a dump, I would — in a very sing-song tone — say, “Good puppy! Good puppy” until she was done. So she learned to associate that command with taking a dump. Now if I let her out and she starts dilly-dallying, I give that command and boom, she does what I want her to. GSD knows over 60 commands.
I just spent a week in an independent living facility
Is that what they’re calling rehab these days?
A week in rehab is like nothing to jesse. Nothing.
Rehab is for quitters, yo.
Well, an independent not-living facility could be hospice.
I think it’s just a residence for people not registering as Democrat or Republican.
As I understand it, independent living is basically just an apartment with some small healthcare element to it, like a nurse on staff or a chairlift or something.
Actual rehab or skilled nursing facilities are almost like a hospital but more equipped for long-term stays (as in months or years).
Independent living is basically a cross between an apartment or townhouse complex and a small, landlocked cruise ship. You get place to live, meals (at the nicer ones, you order off a menu at an in-house restaurant), a bar, activities, etc.

You guys may have Autumn with your blaze of orange, red and gold leaves
This year, it’s been so warm, the trees have not changed colors. So what will happen is we’ll get a frost on Friday and a loud crashing sound on Saturday when all the leaves fall off.
Yay, autumn.
Not The Onion:
Sean Astin ‘pretty ticked off’ that only 90 followers liked his tweet promoting a AGW activist politician
I figured he only had about 90 followers. Turns out he has 330,000. That makes this much funnier.
LOL. What a dweeb.
“Laziness and irresponsibility exists on twitter”
He’s right, to the extent that 100% of twitter consists of laziness and irresponsibility.
Go home Samwise, you’re drunk.
From Sam Wise Gamgee: “Laziness and irresponsibility exists on Twitter”.
Yeah, isn’t that pretty much the entirety of Twitter?
I only follow the links you guys provide to Twitter but that’s been my impression. I haven’t joined an see no reason to do so.
I occasionally follow a link to twitter when it’s posted here and I’m promised something funny or amazing otherwise notable. I have yet to fine one that was worth clicking on.
I enjoy some shit-posting on the twits.
I joined sometime earlier in the decade to follow some funny comedians. Now they’re all woke and rarely funny. I’m pretty sure only idiots tweet. I’ve never been on there and been happy about it afterwards.
He was way too gay in those movies. I mean, he could have sucked a dick on screen and Americans would find it more tolerable than his fawning adoration and submissiveness to Frodo.
Also, I’m a Climate-Supporter. I think it would be awful if we didn’t have any climate.
Pretentious cunt.
He was even worse in Rudy…
:Ducks:
Notre Dame sucks, Rudy blows
I always thought they’d have been better off if they’d cast an older after as Sam and played a paternal angle. You’re correct that the characters’ relationship was very homoerotic.
*actor not ‘after’…I blame Trump
Or the Spartan route: All Hobbits are boy-lovers until they get married.
I’m sure I’ve linked this before, but Gary Busey has some serious thoughts on hobbits .
Why not? They only knocked about 20 years off of Frodo’s age from the books, so adding 20 to Sam’s might have been kind of interesting.
He knows. He’s talked about being uncomfortable with it.
Isn’t Sean Astin the son of Helen Keller and Gomez Addams?
In his defense, he stayed pretty true to the book Samwise.
One of Tolkien’s unpublished works includes a 6,000 page treatise on hobbit sexuality that his family refuses to release.
People really misunderstand the idea of “love of lord” that existed not that long ago and the modern audiences can’t have one man have love and devotion to another without it turning gay.
“The Man Without a Face” was ahead of its time in this.
Again, an entire “news” story based on what someone said in a tweet.
aka “Good Morning America”
“When I mention a Pro-Climate Candidate like @ReneeHoagenson and only 90 of my 330,000 followers ‘like’ comment & retweet, I get pretty ticked off,”
Or maybe you should just realize the jig is up on this scam and shut the fuck up about it.

The point of no return used to be 2015. What changed that?
I guess my first inclination is to say, “If you really believe this, you first.” When will the elites of this country stop using ALL fossil fuels. If you want me to believe in your climate gospel then you live it first.
“I’ll believe there’s a problem when the people who tell me there’s a problem start acting like there’s a problem.”
“The British government is trying to tackle loneliness”
Government funded prostitutes?
Or just sexbots?
legalizing drugs?
Loneliness is such a sad affair
A friendly Bobby will pop by and check on you, see how yer feelin’, what?

with regards to the Warren DNA thing. Somone in the last thread mentioned that Most tribes and the FedGov won’t recognize it if you aren’t 1/32 Native American (i.e At most 5 generations distant). I also heard that the most generous claim people were giving warren was that her 5th generation Grandma was Native or something. Isn’t that convinent that she claimed to be Native but that the person who she was connected to was the furthest away it could be?
Anyway it doesn’t matter because even her professor friend says 6-10
I know each tribe has their own requirements. Some are really strict, and some will recognize someone like Warren.
“some will recognize someone like Warren”
So basically everyone.
I had heard that the Cherokees will let anyone in, but looking at kinnath’s link, it appears she doesn’t even meet their low standards.
Warren is a fraud.
Someone linked this morning that she actually has *less* Indian ancestry than the average Euro-American shitlord.
Either way, it’s all a demonstration of just how stupid racial hiring preferences are.
I can’t imagine why she even bothered to release it. It makes her look more ridiculous. She’s a legit fucking retard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_quantum_laws
1/16 blood quantum (or better) or direct lineage to published tribal rolls or both.

At one time I could understand what she was saying. Now it’s all garble.
Does it really matter though what she is saying? Her hips don’t lie.
Welp, I’m going to have that stuck in my head for a while.
It’s a catchy one. I also like the vagina cave thing she’s gotten herself into there.
DAMN!
Saudi Arabia preparing to (possibly literally) throw agents under the bus for murdering journalist. Claim he was just supposed to be abducted to Saudi Arabia, where I’m sure he would have been treated very fairly.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/15/middleeast/saudi-khashoggi-death-turkey/index.html
But remember, the US is the most dangerous place in the world for journalists now, right?
Well, we are allied with Saudi Arabia, so it’s not a stretch
They never would have done it if Trump weren’t denigrating the media.
I’m pretty sure I saw that argument somewhere for real.
I advtuqlly just heard that exact thing on a lefty talk radio station I quickly turned past on the dial.
I absolutely saw this argument for real.
#metoo
They’re desperate for real actual violence being committed. It’s to the point where I’m surprised one of them hasn’t just faked an attack by a rabid Trump supporter. Won’t someone just take one for the team here?
He was being abducted for a surprise party.
I bet he was surprised.
Not for long.
The clue was probably the soup-tureen shaped hot tub they invited him to relax in.
Kind of like how nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition?
The comfy chair was really a bonesaw.
So the organized crime “we only wanted to rough him up a little” defense.
I also assume the media’s “Trump’s reckless rhetoric on the Khashoggi issue” narrative is already down the memory hole.

I was up near Syracuse for a wedding on Saturday – very pretty country and autumn showed up fro real. It’s a terrible shame it’s part of New York.
It’s not really. I mean, I lived there, I knew we were in the same state and all, but I really do think everyone would be better off if Westchester County, NYC and Long Island seceded into their own state.
(The 2000 election remains the only time I ever voted R in a national race, when I voted for … I don’t even remember who it was who was running against Hillary in the Senate. I’ll be voting R for the second time in my life in a national race in a few weeks when I vote for whoever’s running against Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. I haven’t paid attention and I don’t care who it is.)
Rick Lazio
(Er, that’s the guy who was running against Hillary.)
*snaps fingers* yep.
I wasn’t voting for him, really, but I knew where we were going with Hillary. I tried to stop it. I TRIED DAMMIT.
Kirsten Gillibrand / Wasserman-Schultz, whatever, neither have two brain cells to rub together.

Gillibrand could find a better-looking girlfriend than that. Wasserman-Schultz is down to pretending she’s a transwoman on Grindr to find dates.

That’s what I meant – without the NYC area, the rest of New York would be okay. Probably something like PA for taxes, gun-laws, etc… The kind of place I would want to live.
I grew up in upstate NY. If it wasn’t for NYS government it would be a nice place to live (fall puts the best face on it-winter kinda blows) and a good place to raise a family. I feel lucky to be from there, all things considered.
I too grew up in Upstate. Pretty good place to grow up. Winter is for real.
In vegas for first time. my impression so far, its a nicer version of every other tech conference I have been to.
Which hotel?
Mandalay Bay.
Nice, just remember to duck.
Go to Mon Amis Gabis across the boulevard at the Paris for breakfast. Get their coffee, you won’t regret it, I promise.
Skip the Mandalay hotel restaurant breakfast, I didn’t care for it considering their prices.
It would be really weird to stay there wouldn’t it.
My late night meal last night is only one not provided all week.
Do they still have the huge Dale Chihuly glass sculpture over the registration area of that hotel (IIRC)?
Beautiful and gaudy, and really seems right for a casino.
Chihuly’s done some great stuff in glass. If he ever comes to your town to do a show with only his paintings, however, do NOT see it, even for free. If you want to feel the experience of that, you could just have your dog shit on some canvasses.
Go downtown for the experience.
Goddamn it robc those impressions are supposed to stay in Vegas.
My impression of casino floor, from late last night and early this morning: if you told me I was on an Indiana riverboat, I would have believed you.
You obviously didn’t order and drink a rum & coke at 0400 in the AM and not have to pay for it.

I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $500, Alex. Side note you’re proud of your daughter for throwing a fit over someone not agreeing with her?
I’m very proud of my overly fragile, hysterical daughter, whom I have carefully cultivated to be maladjusted and ill equipped to function in society!
*crowd wildly cheers courageous celebrity*
I agree that’s likely BS.
My daughter is 13 and words like ‘activism’ and ‘feminism’ are not part of her lexicon.
Either (irresponsible) parents plant that crap in the minds of their kids or….or I don’t give a shit about these assholes.
‘are they aware of what’s going on in this country?’
No, what they’re aware of is what their assholes parents tell them.
What horrible parenting.
‘my other daughter is six and it’s a different kind of conversation.’
We scare her less and use stick people to project our views on to her. The 12 year-old is fair game and we go for the jugular and tell her the truth. The world will end if Trump isn’t removed by November.
‘My 12 year-old came home and told me Trump is going to cancel Movember. I froze. Is this the kind of America we want? So I got started on my pickets and signs and got my daughter involved because it’s never too young to take to the streets and fight for what’s right!’
Just remember, Hollywood gave us this
So they ain’t all bad.
I clicked it and I finished the whole clip. I don’t know why I kept watching it. I thought maybe it would get better but it didn’t. I had no idea that that movie existed.
I think they made it just to make Ed Wood look like a genius.
Ed Wood was a genius.
Were they on a space ship? For some reason I was waiting for her to throw him through an airlock and the vacuum to not affect him.
“Gave her an upload.”
COMPUTERS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!
Honestly, I had no idea of who she was, so I looked it up:
Margalit Ruth “Maggie” Gyllenhaal is an American actress and producer. Part of the Gyllenhaal family, she is the daughter of filmmakers Stephen Gyllenhaal and Naomi Achs, and the older sister of actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
From the sound of it, she’s about the last person who should be decrying the injustice of people getting advantages in life because of who they are. Honestly, you hit the goddamned lottery in life. I really don’t want to hear a lot of whinging from you about the evils of patriarchal oppression when you’d be, if you were lucky, a bartender doing off off off Broadway for free but for the fact that you had the right parents.
I’m not the first to note how Hollywood types are so quick to embrace the ideas of privilege. It’s an industry filled with nepotism where people get ahead based on whose dick they suck and how attractive they are combined with who they know/are related to. I’m sure a lot of them know they’re pretty much vacuous, empty vessels devoid of actual talent. They’re detached from reality, and the idea of real meritocracy eludes them. It’s also a place where racism and misogyny are actually on full display frequently behind closed doors. They project their distorted reality onto the rest of America. I mean, if it’s this bad here, what must it be like in Kansas where those ignorant deplorable rubes live?
They feel guilty for their success because they know they won the lottery. Or alternatively, they just had to suck a few dicks to make millions.
Like I say, at least porno actresses are honest about their success.
Maggie Gyllenhal did not get by on how attractive she was, because…
She looks like a sad turtle?
She was always more than willing to get nekkid in movies, in one A-List film even getting spanked by her boss, I think that helped her career. She had charisma in a couple of roles, but not always.
My late wife worked in theater. Your account pretty much squares with what she told me.
The only thing I remember seeing her in is the Dark Knight, and the only thing I remember about that is how terrible and devoid of emotion she was.
Enjoy the show.
https://www.npr.org/2018/09/20/649828012/maggie-gyllenhaal-takes-on-the-power-imbalance-of-sex-work-in-the-deuce
Ignore their politics.
No matter how many times I watch The Dark Knight, when The Joker sees Maggie Gyllenhaal and says, “Well, hello beautiful,” I expect the camera to pan past her to a different actress.
Joker: “Wait a minute, Katie Holmes was there just a minute ago!”
It’s a meta-joke. He was joking when he called her beautiful.
Her brother is the hotter of the two and I don’t even think I’m gay.
“I can’t quit yew!”
My wife lusts after her brother.
DISGUSTING.
I found video.
Why did you choose to tell us about that in this thread?
Your wife being into her brother deserves its own article.
I can’t write an article about that. Then Maggie will be picketing my house claiming that my wife objectifies her brother.
You need to re-read your post out of context.
There are entire massive portions of the internet devoted to the subject.
I’m trying to run with it, but Laurel and Hardy were much better at this.
This is a ‘family friendly’ site.
^This^
She does a good job a playing a weird-looking nympho in a couple of movies.
She was the worst part of that movie. Literally every scene she’s in takes me out of the fucking movie with how terrible her lines are delivered. Katie Holmes wasn’t much better. But in Dark Knight every single actor was on their A games and it wasn’t even fair. I don’t even no who they could have cast short of a helen mirren or merryl streep which both would have made that movie hilariously better.

What a transparent fraud. You have to be a complete useful idiot with a brain made of jello to buy this horseshit. I didn’t need a DNA test to tell me this.
I’m with Brochettaward, why did she even release this? Trump already thoroughly humiliated her, better to just let it be. Her releasing this nonsense (1/64th Indian at most?!) makes her look worse than if she had just eaten crow.
Because she only cares about the response from the people who don’t want to think about how stupid it is.
Her supporters are actually using this as a justification of her claims while simultaneously denying she ever claimed it or got benefits from it.
Like Suthen says, these people are officially dead weight. They can’t be fixed.
What’s sad is that the Warren campaign thinks it’s being strategic here.
They had the Boston Globe put together that bullshit narrative about her career. Now the media can point to that to say that the claim has been debunked, despite the story doing no such thing despite its best efforts. The actual facts indicate that, no, her claim of Native American heritage did help her.
Then they release results that show she shouldn’t have been identifying as a minority period. Even if it didn’t get her a leg up, she was then simply delusional.
Apparently Jim Messina is equally perplexed. It’s especially funny to me considering he’s responsible for the last time Democrats won anything significant.

Yeah, the Cherokee are not impressed either: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cherokee-nation-responds-to-senator-warren-says-dna-test-useless-to-determine-tribal-citizenship
Her Indian heritage isn’t from any North American Native American tribe like the Cherokee or Shawnee, but from Central American Native American tribes.
And the story she told a couple of years ago doesn’t line up with the DNA says.
So I think we can still call her Liawatha.

The former head of security for the Senate intelligence committee pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI on Monday in federal court in Washington, D.C.
James Wolfe had been charged with three such counts, but he reached a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s office in exchange for leniency and to avoid a trial.
Wolfe, 57, once dated a young Washington journalist, Ali Watkins, who made a name for herself covering national security in Congress. Wolfe also had relationships with other journalists who covered the panel formally known as the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

This this this THIS. Unless they arrest you and then the only thing you say is “I’m exercising my right to remain silent and contacting my attorney.”
Not in this case. Lying to the FBI was probably the most minor offense he committed.

I understand there may be matching hats on the market.
“The Trump administration released a proposed regulation on Monday to force drugmakers to put the list prices of their products in TV ads, setting up a showdown with the pharmaceutical lobby.
“Patients deserve to know what a given drug will cost when being told about the risk or benefits it may have,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said at the National Academy of Medicine annual meeting.
The regulation was previously announced in the Trump administration’s May blueprint for combating high drug prices. It applies to drugs that are covered under Medicare and Medicaid.
The proposed regulation, which will be finalized after a public comment period, said that the list price that must be included must reflect the cost of a 30-day supply of the product.
The pharmaceutical lobby has fought back on the regulation.”

2. “the Food and Drug Administration approved Epidiolex, an epilepsy drug containing a purified form of CBD oil derived from marijuana.”

“In the United States, GHB was placed on Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act in March 2000. However, used in sodium oxybate under an IND or NDA from the US FDA, it is considered a Schedule III substance but with Schedule I trafficking penalties, one of several drugs that are listed in multiple schedules.”

Does anyone here take or know anything about CBD? I hear Dave Smith advertising it all the time but it sounds like a snake oil pitch (“boosts you endo-canabinoid system”…..Is there any credible research that shows it has merit? Does anyone have anecdotal evidence?
I was hoping to look into it for 2 fucked shoulders I currently possess. Then, Ohio went and made all CBD illegal, falling under the purview of the recently created pharmacology board. Which will mean that if I continue to think its a viable option, I have to go to a…..state-approved physician.
Thanks, Kasich, you cock-stain.
Kasich is the worst.
Infinite CBD-I bought some in the dropper bottles and take a couple of doses every day. It helps with the minor aches and pains of getting older and is actually a little cheaper than many of the other brands. They make a lot of claims on other effects but I haven’t hiked up the dose enough to test those claims out.
And yeah, that explanation of how it works is a gross oversimplification. Check out some articles on Google Scholar if you don’t want the children’s book explanation.
Sweet, thanks. I’m not totally opposed to the idea of ‘natural’ remedies and supplements but with so much garbage (and dupes who buy it) out there it’s hard to know what has merit and what’s a sales gimmick.
Leftists are still threatening political assassination.
Bangor Police Dept, Fire Dept, local hazmat team is investigating a supicious letter at the home of @SenatorCollins in Maine. FBI is aware. Bangor PD is leading the investigation. Criminal Investigation Division is on the scene. Investigation is ongoing.
Heh.
Anyway it looks like leftist leaders explicit calls to violent political action are taking effect. Not that it has not been the trend since the last election.
But it’s like totally not fair that they keep losing elections. What are they supposed to do?

A bit from David Burge on the history of Sears:
https://twitter.com/iowahawkblog/status/1051829940235190272
20th Century’s Amazon.
If Sear and Roebuck would only give every American an equal share from their daily earnings.
They were. And the weird thing is that there was really no reason they couldn’t have been the 21st Century’s. They pretty much had everything in place in terms of order fulfillment. It would have certainly been possible to put their merchandise online. But, they didn’t really make much of an effort to go online. And they got out of the catalog business around the same time Amazon started to be a thing.
They had stopped being a retailer and began being a finance company. Fuck ’em, good riddance.
My brother and I bought our first deer rifles from Sears. Argentine Mausers that Dad sporterized. I think that we paid $29.95 each and they sent them in the mail.
Remember, kids, this used to be a free country.

I’d just like to say, my previous post wasn’t meant to denigrate those who like precious metals, or say they have no real value, just more of a philosophical question. It’s my fault, as I am a lousy writer (unless I re-write about 3 times, then I’m only mediocre). The question I should have asked was “why do we, as humans, place such value on precious metals even when they can do little to directly sustain our lives?” (HT to Q for the last bit of that.)
What got me interested in the subject was being at monex.com looking at silver prices. (Which, BTW, I think are low,also platinum).

“A woman who said a Texas state trooper sexually assaulted her could face charges herself, after body cam video released by Texas Department of Public Safety shows no evidence of officer misconduct.
Sherita Dixon-Cole accused DPS trooper Daniel Hubbard of “forcefully groping” her in a sexual assault inside and outside of his cruiser during a traffic stop last weekend.

“being hot is inherently anti-feminist”
https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/1051784433584545793
There are some that aren’t hot but have this alluring look about them….until they start to talk.
When I was on OkCupid many many moons ago I went out on a date with this girl who called herself a feminist. She wasn’t a model but she was incredibly cute and we shared some of the same interests. Went out on a date with her and holy shit, we were not compatible. She was a raving third wave feminist and at the time I was a fucking die hard Ayn Rand libertarian who didn’t give a shit. You can imagine that by the end of the date we both wanted to be done and just go on home.
Too bad though, she had a nice set.
With this type of girl there is always the urge to ignore, dismiss and outright lie to get laid once before you part ways. It’s ad idea but it’s like my old boss used to say:
“Men are proof God has a sense of humor, he gives them two heads but only enough blood to use one at a time.”
When I sobered up from that date the next day, I regretted that I was too blunt towards her because at least I could have had a couple of sexy times with her if I just nodded my head and went along with her bullshit.
Yeah, I can’t do it either most of the time. My rage at the evil that is collectivism usually trumps my biological desire for sex (and my penis hates me for it). I end up saying “Well that’s fucking wrong because….” Game over.
Luckily, I learned how to keep my mouth (sort of) shut when I went out on a date with the woman who is now my wife. She is a Leftist, but was actually interested in my opinions. The issue with the previous dates weren’t the fact that they had Left leaning positions but that for one they were convinced of their righteousness along with displaying a terrifying lack of reasoning.
That’s an important distinction. I’ve known some girls who were pretty lefty but they \knew how to listen and they are willing to flesh-out ideas. Such women can be very good company on dates. I dated a girl briefly last year who was very calm and reasonable when discussing politics…..
Her ideology when taken to it’s ultimate logical conclusions however was horrifying
I’m sure it felt like a mistake at the time, But, the alternative strikes me as a very risky proposition. Psycho third wave feminist figures out you don’t share her insanity and are just placating her to get laid. I’m not sure of the rest of the story, but I’m guessing it involves a false accusation or a bunny boiling in your kitchen.
I’d imagine that it’s extraordinarily rare to find an actual left-feminist who is anything close to pleasant in a relationship.
I’ve seen how they operate before: they think that doing anything nice for their man is capitulating to the patriarchy. They view it as a power struggle. No thanks.
The girl I referred to above was a left-feminist but had grown up very traditionally on a mid-west farm. She was actually very mid-west pleasant and sweet. What was really off putting was that inspire of her genuine pleasantness she was basically O’Brien from 1984. Individual rights didn’t exist in her mind, everything was subject to the will of ‘society.’ it was a truly baffling experience.
My wife is a feminist but even the third wavers turn her off. She finds them completely miserable and do not want to end up like them.
“…they think that doing anything nice for their man is capitulating to the patriarchy. They view it as a power struggle. No thanks.”
Amen. I’ve met women like that and those were the sorts I stayed away from. They expect you to do whatever they want without any question but if you ask them to do something for you, it’s framed as some sort of power struggle.
This was like 8 or 9 years ago but even then it felt like online dating were populated with third wave feminists. They had no problem with rejecting you especially if your politics or beliefs weren’t in lockstep but man if you dared to reject them after a date or two, they were super pissed.
“…have this alluring look about them….until they start to talk.”
This guy gets it.
I keep telling them Ed, but they just dont listen.
And that’s why I am happy to be married. I talk to a lot of my single friends and they all have told me that the dating pool is infested with third wave feminists. They are inflexible miserable people but whine that good men are hard to fine.
I always hear women moaning that “men aren’t like they were in the old days” but those very same women would chaff at the idea that they should fill the role that women used to fill.
They want to act like a 2010’s slut but expect a 1950’s gentleman in return.
Speaking from experience, when faced with the choice of A) hitching my wagon to an angry, unappreciated woman or B) going it alone, I see zero incentive to choose option A and a whole bunch or reasons to choose option B.

Warren 2020
LOL
Excellent
Love it.
This kind of narrative around Warren’s DNA test proves to me that the media *wants* Trump to be re-elected in 2020.
https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-10-15/elizabeth-warren-s-dna-test-shows-her-as-a-2020-front-runner?utm_medium=social&cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_source=twitter&utm_content=business&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic
Well, they think he is good for their ratings. Even though CNN’s rating are crap.
They were pushing the “Trump should pay up” narrative HARD this afternoon. Like someone on twitter already pointed out, he should donate 1/1024 of a million dollars. It’d be a wonderful troll.
That’s like the 5th time this week where I’ve seen articles that screamed We Want Trump! We Want Trump! The others were that piece in the Washington Post about how all men need to die, the winston churchill apology, the “robert e lee gotcha” and finally the retarded Kanye come back to the plantation takes.
The two things that have convinced me that I’m voting for Trump for sure short of a miracle that consists of the Libertarian party nominating somebody/something beside Bill Weld or a Bill Weldlite option were the Kavanaugh debacle and actually the fucking story that Maria killed the 1400 people instead of 80 using statistical analysis that was the most dishonest fucking statistics I’ve seen since the 70 cents on a dollar statistic. The Maria thing was the just the last straw in pho gotchas that they tried to get Trump on that I was like that’s fucking it.
I think they used false narrative on 5000. 1400 might actually be true. It wasn’t 80.
It was actually like 600 extra people died than in the same period the year before. But they didn’t actually look into how. The number was like three thousand which was just the total number of people that died in that period.
https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/gw-researchers-2975-excess-deaths-linked-hurricane-maria
I don’t have a big problem with the methodology but it gets reported as a certainty as if the bodies were piling up, and conveniently it has been used only for Maria. Why not use it for Sandy?
And that’s why I don’t take these guys seriously anymore. A frigging blood test about whether she’s a Native American? Even if it confirmed her narrative in full (it doesn’t), it makes her look like a joke. Trump got so under her skin that she felt the need to share her Ancestry.com results (I know it wasn’t actually) with the whole country? No, that doesn’t make you a presidential contender. It makes you look incredibly insecure.
Look at that picture they used for Warren. Would anyone use that picture if they actually wanted you to vote for her?

“Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Test Is ‘Useless,’ ‘Inappropriate and Wrong’ Cherokee Nation Official Says
“A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship,” Hoskin Jr. said in response. “Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation.”
Hoskin Jr. went on to say that the use of a DNA test was “inappropriate and wrong.”
“Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong,” he said. “It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.””
https://www.newsweek.com/elizabeth-warrens-dna-test-useless-inappropriate-and-wrong-cherokee-nation-1171290
Thats what I don’t get about all this DNA craze….culture is what shapes your identity. In my younger days I used to make much of my Scots/Irish heritage. Now that I’m older an wiser I realize that, other than a few very very faint cultural echoes in my family’s dynamic, I’m as white and American as they come and that’s a good thing. Europeans think we’re crazy when we make distinctions about being German or Irish or Scandinavian, etc.
My neighbor’s mom took the DNA test and found out that genetically she’s Baltic and Slavic rather than German, and for some reason she’s really distressed. She grew up in East Prussia and her last name was something-ski, so I could have told her she probably wasn’t ethnically German, but culturally she’s very German and fled to Bavaria at the end of WW2 to escape the Soviet Army. DNA does not equal culture.
My mom took one of those 23andMe tests (guess she had too much money sitting around) and it came back 1% Jewish, so now the inside joke with my brother and I is that we’re Jewish.
My mom’s came back as 0.1% sub-Saharan African, so I guess I’m black. NTTAWWT.
My brother took one. Sent out a group text to the family that said:
“DNA test came back today; turns out we’re white.”
I larfed.
My sister did one, and she’s 0.3% sub-Saharan African and 86.6% Northwest European.
Of course, both my Dad’s parents were born in Bavaria, so we should theoretically have a good handle on half our ancestry.
You are discounting her lived experiences, Count. In Herstory her truth is that she was raised in a wigwam and ate buffalo as a child.

Ignore the mockery that blood based citizenship makes. Fuck the tribes and their psuedo-governments. If they want to continue as private fraternal organizations, fine but end this nonsense of giving them government powers.
That or truly make them their own sovereign nations, put boarder patrol at all the reservation access points and discontinue all welfare, infrastructure spending, etc.
Do that and we can’t fell smug righteousness and be patronizing at the same time.
That and all the reservations would instantly become tax havens denying Uncle Sam his duly owed treasure. Can’t have that.
How about combining all of the “Indian Nations” into the 51st state? That’s about as sovereign as it gets in this country. Let them run their governments just like all the other Americans. Oh, and as Bob mentions, discontinue welfare, etc.

When you call out someone for falsely claiming to be a member of a minority group, you are playing identity politics. Dogwhistle identity politics. This is CNN.
That’s weapon grades derp right there. You’d have to go to DU or Everydayfeminism to find more dangerous derp.
How these people can take Warrens’ side on this with a straight face is a testament to what shit-heels they are. If a republican had mendaciously claimed Native American heritage they’d be demanding he resign and go on an apology tour of every single Indian reservation on the continent.
You know who the left looks when they go after Trump for never owning a dog or putting ketchup on a well-done steak? That’s my take on the Warren/Indian affair, she’s an economic idiot, the original “You didn’t build that” girl and the right beats on the pow-wow drum.
How not who.
How not who.
That’s what Warren said.
Good point. The Native American thing is a distraction/side show. Attack her on the substantive stuff.
It’s still funny.
It’s the hypocrisy. Sure it’s meaningless, it’s just too rich when someone tries to claim they were right all along when the fact unequivocally show the opposite.
It’s even funnier when she trumpets the results as if they vindicate her when they actually show just how wrong she was.
I get why it’s a thing and why it’s funny, I guess I’m just jaded and getting more misanthropic, I hate all the political theater, and everyone involved. I really should take my own advice and unplug from it all for a while.
Much of it has to do with the fact that the right is finally waking up to the idea that they’re in a culture war. The left has no interest in debating ideas (see protesters who would rather shout down speakers than challenge the merits of their arguments) and the right has realized that if they want to do anything but lose they’d better start to fight fire with fire. I’m not saying this is a good thing, we’re getting dumber, more violent and more divided by the day and it won’t end well. I think many of us around here cut the right more slack because it’s hard to not root for the kid fighting on the playground that’s been sucker punched repeatedly and has finally started to fight back. Even if he’s still a tool.
The state of politics is a depressing and stressful thing for me. If I think about it in too much depth, I will end up in a bad mood.
Shit like that has me torn between trying to have a normal life as part of “society” and buying some cheapass land, building a shack, installing a few solar panels, and spending the rest of my life producing food on the land and reading ancient books.
my consolation is that even though we live under the heel of tyrants, they are stupid, feckless tyrants with the attention span of toddlers. That alone make me strangely optimistic.
The issue is how she and/or Harvard used her heritage to be more “diverse”. Would she have been offered a professorship at Harvard if she didn’t claim Indian heritage? Maybe, maybe not, but it’s a good example of how the diversity stuff is BS.
I think she got the professor position on her own. The part that annoys me is that if you believe in the principles behind affirmative action and diversity, then by checking that box, she is letting Harvard off the hook. Harvard is taking credit for promoting a native American and claiming they have professors with diverse backgrounds and they don’t.
If you’re a progressive, that should piss you off.
And/or clue you in to the fact that the entire scheme is a sham.

The idea is that just about any of rutting mammals in that region you call Murica would demonstrate a similar minimum amount of ‘native’ dna.
The irony being that he should release said results along with a written application to an institution of higher learning with the ‘native’ box checked.
Well, unlike Stormy Daniels, no one has actually seen her hoo ha.
Apparently Straff has if he’s “100% sure”
He really should have it checked. Imagine the lulz if he has more native American in his background than she does.
That would have been hilarious, but unlikely. His mother was born in Scotland and his paternal grandparents were born in Germany. Little to no chance to pick up Native American blood.
