We had a bat-shit RSM (1992 or thereabouts) who decreed that no soldier, regardless of turnout, would be considered for stickman* unless he was wearing puttees. Being a fairly new-sort at the time, I'd never get stickman anyway so never bothered. I can still remember the old/bold troopers cursing and swearing as they wrapped the fucking things around their ankles.

Talk about relics. Still, what the RSM wants, the RSM gets. His replacement made them mandatory for everyone on guard - a practice that persisted for years! I think I've still got a few pairs of the things buried in a grip somewhere.

* "Stickman" - the best "turned out" individual on guard parade. The lucky winner gets knocked-off, the rest get to spend the night guarding the camp with little/no sleep. In addition, for bringing your sub-unit honour by winning stickman, your SSM (or CSM) would forget your name for a month or so when he was doing the duty rota. Conversely, if you get "picked up" by the inspecting officer (he finds fault with your turn-out), your SSM (or CSM) will take a personal interest in ruining your social life. This unfortunate condition is known as "doing Oliver" - extra duties, lots and lots of extra duties. The absolute worst case scenario, reserved only for serious or repeat offenders, is the dreaded "day-on-day-off" until further notice.

But that's me drifting waaay off topic.

True Story. My sister once saw Jon Pertwee late one night at Farthing Corner Motorway Services Kent in the late 1970's. He was sat alone drinking a cup of coffee so she decided to go and ask him for his autograph.

He told her to Fuck Off! :lol:

I'm willing to bet that reporting restrictions will be lifted and the papers will be full of the details that they won't print about the 55 men recently charged in Bradford.

Most Americans wouldn't put 'straight' and 'soccer player' in the same sentence.

Not in the same league, but i do remember running home from school once to make sure I caught some children's quiz show which Pertwee was a guest on. Can't recall the name of the show, but it involved celebrities answering questions to make lights on a football pitch shaped board light up to get to the other end. I was sure that Doctor Who would be a massive genius and get all the questions right.

Inevitably I learnt a valuable lesson as JP asked for the easiest questions and STILL got them all wrong - even ones that I myself could answer at that tender age !

Doctor Who was a thicko !!! The horror of it !

There have been a series of vandal attacks on London war memorials, and even the Yvonne Fletcher memorial (the cop who was murdered by Libyan embassy staff). For some reason, the Met has CCTV footage of the people responsible, but are not releasing it, as it would complicate their enquiries.

I found calculating the mix of KOH and NaOH soaps separately was easier, but you still put all the ingredients in the same double boiler and cook them with appropriate strong alkali precautions. Best shaving soap ever!

Well seeing as you can't spend the 5 minutes or less or are too stupid to use the search function allow me to do it for you. Do read this carefully it will show you that you were full of shit right from the start.

As you see I didn't lump you in with the demented Clinton death game as you had accused me. When I asked you to find the quote you didn't. When I looked up the quote and responded to you you apparently ignored it even though you were around as little as a few days later. Don't bother engaging me in future, you are a waste of time.
OK, I guess we'll extend the tedium a bit. The post you referenced was not the post I was referring to. Why you thought it might have been is beyond me, as I said it was in response to something I said about Hilary Clinton and it occurred during the Trump/Clinton election, whereas this one is from 2018 during the Kavanaugh hearings.

After a bit of searching, I believe I've found the relevant post here:

You somehow brought in Vince Foster and the Hilary Clinton lesbian rumors in response to a vanilla post about why the Wikileaks DNC emails were validated. Now granted, this wasn't necessarily an accusation of me believing this stuff, and could easily be interpreted as just your usual whataboutery. But as an example of your hyperpartisan nature, at least with regards to US politics, it stands. There's no shame in it, and you're certainly not the only poster here of that nature (but probably the most obnoxious). I'd surmise just about everyone here who reads your posts comes to the same conclusion, so I don't know why you don't just own it. As a conciliatory note, I have no trouble believing you're actually a policy moderate, and dimly recall you excoriating hard left sources. This is consistent with my real life experiences, where the most partisan Democrats I've known were policy moderates. Doesn't seem to work, the other way though. Ultrapartisan Republicans are never policy moderates.

Yeah... I would really only wear the hat to trigger people...cause.... I am an ass like that.

A large part of what is going on is the transition to the "new media".... whatever that is. It is like the wild west. The money follows the clicks... and most people who provide the clicks are just plain old idiots. The funny thing is that fewer people listened to idiots in the traditional media model. Selling a newspaper is so vastly different than collecting Youtube hits. Now, all the idiots in the world provide the same clicks as the well informed "normal" people.

I can hardly unpack the shit that my own family posts. My daughter tells me I am "denying someone's existence" if I don't think that gender is on a spectrum. This claim is so cosmically stupid that I can barely find the patience to discuss why it is wrong. It is so wrong on its face that my college educated daughter should just know it isn't true. We can disagree about the definition of gender...and...this does not mean I am "denying someone's existence." Seriously... how much more hyperbolic can you get. I can't disagree with her without being labeled as some kind of monster.

And the stupid piles up. The young people today tell me that "asexual" is a type of sexual preference. You know... "cis, or bisexual, or pansexual, or asexual." and I'm like... wait.... saying asexual is a type of sexual preference is like saying bald is a hair color. WTF! They make no sense.

Equating a MAGA hat to a KKK hood is so false on its face that it should be dismissed out of hand. But no... this is the claim on major media outlets (not just radical Youtube sites).

And as I reflect more, I come to the realization of something I always secretly suspected. If you get rid of god most people fill it in with some other religion. The religion of communism.... or social justice.... or anti-colonialism.... or environmentalism.... or veganism. I almost wish I had raised my children in the church. It is way more sensible, constructive, and robust than some of the shit they are into now. Very few people are like me.... am I the only one who thinks that the universe is an uncaring godless place... and that our actions and motivations are driven by irrational moral models that run in our subconscious? Seriously, am I one of the few people to figure this out?

end of rant.

Has its justifications; frequently some necessity to run a flag up the pole and see who salutes - or gets "triggered":


Woman barred from pub for wearing T-shirt ‘in case it upsets transgender people’
16-Jan-2019 By Robert Mann

A woman has been barred from her local pub after a fellow drinker complained that her T-shirt discriminated against transgender people.
Wearing "stupid hats" CAN BE "problematic", particularly when it shuts down the critical faculties, but of some utility in promoting credible and necessary social conversations.

And sometimes a hat is just a hat - to coin a phrase.

Sure a lot of people who are clueless about cause and effect - post hoc ergo propter hoc being a rather too common logical fallacy.

Although you might consider that there IS some - actually quite a lot - of justification for the idea of gender as a spectrum; you actually might get some traction with your daughter by conceding that, at least "for the sake of argument" or as a starting point.

Looks like it does to me. IF "sexual preference" is DEFINED as the types of "sexual activity, including specifically sexual intercourse" that one prefers THEN that set might reasonably be DEFINED as {hetero, homo, bi, multi, mono, none, ...?}. And you might also consider the analogy with number - which includes zero. Seems that many people don't quite get that definitions are frequently a priori, a method of categorizing "persons, things, ideas".

But I geddit that you're peeved - with no shortage of justification. But hitting the panic button without any analysis doesn't help anyone - would you do so when faced with a technical problem at work?

Definitions can get rather convoluted and contradictory, but the application of some analytical skills might resolve the problem.

Try this:

Daughter: Stop denying Heather's existence!
You: Who's Heather?
Daughter: Duh, my fuck buddy, Heh-THUR-R-R ?!@#%!
You: Never heard of her.
Daughter: Dad, she's standing right here next to us!
You: Sweetie, now you're just being silly -- there's no one here but you and me.

The Romans had a less refined approach to decimation.

As for buying a MAGA hat... I've been thinking about wearing something like that. Maybe red with white letters saying wimpy, like "Cant We All Just Get Along" ... to see who gets triggered.

Tho, as much as I like Trump trolling softheads... all I have to do is remember his lawyer is shitstain Rudy Guiliani, to remind myself Trump is no friend of mine.
Yeah... I would really only wear the hat to trigger people...cause.... I am an ass like that.

A large part of what is going on is the transition to the "new media".... whatever that is. It is like the wild west. The money follows the clicks... and most people who provide the clicks are just plain old idiots. The funny thing is that fewer people listened to idiots in the traditional media model. Selling a newspaper is so vastly different than collecting Youtube hits. Now, all the idiots in the world provide the same clicks as the well informed "normal" people.

I can hardly unpack the shit that my own family posts. My daughter tells me I am "denying someone's existence" if I don't think that gender is on a spectrum. This claim is so cosmically stupid that I can barely find the patience to discuss why it is wrong. It is so wrong on its face that my college educated daughter should just know it isn't true.

And as I reflect more, I come to the realization of something I always secretly suspected. If you get rid of god most people fill it in with some other religion. The religion of communism.... or social justice.... or anti-colonialism.... or environmentalism.... or veganism. I almost wish I had raised my children in the church. It is way more sensible, constructive, and robust than some of the shit they are into now. Very few people are like me.... am I the only one who thinks that the universe is an uncaring godless place... and that our actions and motivations are driven by irrational moral models that run in our subconscious? Seriously, am I one of the few people to figure this out?

Your important service reminder that triggering people in real life can have some serious consequences. But as to clickbait media, here's something to cheer you up;


Huffpo might soon be no mo. So.

Add to Buzzfeed's layoff of 200+ and it's a pretty good week. It looks like they're reaching the limits of backers who aren't seeing much for their "woke" investments.

Hopefully that chick can continue excoriating a society that enables her to turn a "literal PhD in romantic comedies" into a gig that doesn't involve digging root vegetables.

But hang on, aren't all women virtuous and on the side of the angels, and it is only the Patriarchy stopping them from bringing in a Golden Age. Smash the Patriarchy and all will be wonderful. It's almost as if women are people too. I am not surprised at their surprise, surprisingly.

Strange that Buzzed Feed and Huffy Poop are struggling financially, cuz their Complete Load of Bullshit business model is working great for Breitbart.

No. Then again, the C6 radiculopathy I'm having right now has me quoting Iago: Credo in un Dio crudel che m'ha creato simile a se e che nell'ira Io nomo.

No. That's pretty much fundamental to the human component of systems dynamics. We hold incomplete/inaccurate (and therefore wrong) mental models of how the world works and how we want it to work, therefore shit happens.

Meant to say - and our decisions are all based on these mental models, therefore shit happens.
