Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
This may not have been the best mental health move, but after an afternoon of random samplings from the Paul Joseph Watson catalogue on YouTube, I haven't found a lot to disagree with. He points out problems in a way that could only be called 'racist' by those who disagree politically. Much of the commentary is the same down-to-earth common sense I hear from my wife's war stories as she comes home from work each evening as a child psychiatrist (it seems most of her advice is on sensible diet and getting enough sleep, most of the rest is not living on your phone, and a little bit is extremely esoteric drug adjustments for psychotic disorders etc). I've taken to 'liking' all his videos just to annoy our lizard-men overlords* at Google.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
WEIT is largely populated by left wing edgicated types and they are often of the sort quite impressed with their own superior understanding of the political world. Doesn't often occur to them that the plebs may actually have a better grasp of their own interests than academics or that a coarse bruiser like Trump may have better instincts on how to handle the likes of the Chinese and Russians than them. They also tend to assume the worst of people not like them politically, rather ironically. I love the way Trump's tweets have been distilled down to "darkies go home" when the thrust of his Tweets was more about pointing out the hatred of certain people for the US.Driftless wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 1:19 pmIt's all very interesting.

Well, me and Mrs L are heading back to the UK on Weds, first time in five years for me. We land at LHR at 7.10 on Thursday, have a seven-hour layover (we'll pop into town), then hoots mon, it's off tae Inverness, where my sister and her husband run a hotel in the Cairngorms NP.
Back to London for a few days, to a VRBO in Hampstead, then out to Essex where my oldest buddy - I've known him since '71 - is getting married for the first time two months before his 60th.

Given that Slate's writing staff is largely composed of hard left authors who consider themselves to be pragmatic centrists, their argument is unsurprising. Over the last 4-5 years they've gone from being my go-to center-left opinion journalism source to the loony left cornfield alongside the likes of Salon, HuffPo, and Vox. I think it dates to the beginning of the rise of identity politics, rather than anything to do with the 2016 election. Concomitantly, their writing staff has become very disproportionately LGBT, which is a reflection of where their ideological hiring priorities lie.Driftless wrote: ↑It's all very interesting.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Yeah, I have read Slate since it started. It has slowly moved left, although they think everyone else has moved right. The UVA rape case era was where I started reading the comments for laughs. I think the issue with Slate and with journalism in general is that the cheapest writers tend to be young women in New York or San Francisco. The funny thing is that no one can live on the salary that online places pay so they either have rich parents or a rich boyfriend/husband. But it is a bubble. So they think they are in the majority because "everyone they know" agrees with them, not realizing that they are part of a very small slice of the population.jugheadnaut wrote: ↑Given that Slate's writing staff is largely composed of hard left authors who consider themselves to be pragmatic centrists, their argument is unsurprising.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
I meant to say, if you get the chance, take a wee trip to the Ptarmigan restaurant:
https://visitcairngorms.com/dbeatdrinks ... n/180.html
Even though it's currently closed for the season (see website), there are some very scenic (and easy-going) trails up to and around the area. I used to run MLT courses up there - Mountain Leader Training (teaching experienced climbers how to plan/conduct minor expeditions with groups of chimps in tow) - it's a very beautiful part of the country and you'll not regret spending a day there. Obviously, you'll want to prepare for the trip - plenty of hydration, warm clothes, waterproofs (it's Scotland - "soaking" is the default state) and a coms-plan just in case you have an ackie-dent.
https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a54a ... cd~mv2.jpg
Also worth a visit - Aviemore. However, be warned, it's pretty expensive (tourism and all that) but has a few nice venues for shopping, eating and grabbing a refreshing hangover. There used to be an excellent little inn on the outskirts, I think it was called "The Salmon Leap" (can't find an online footprint), you could sit out on the back balcony and eat/drink whilst watching dirty great salmon trying to hoof themselves up a little waterfall ten feet from your table. It'll be sad if the place is gone/closed.

Anyhoo, hope you have a braw time, don't get too drunk and that the midges don't chomp yir airse! I'd scoot up there and buy you a dram but I'm snowed under at the moment plus I'm not sure you'd want to be seen in public with a hulking fascist knuckle-dragger. :P

Peter Thiel is a pretty smart dood. He makes an interesting point here. Google has a "Manhattan Project" for AI working with the Chinese.
Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
I'm sure multiple governments have agents inside tech companies. They hire whoever they can get and a large percentage of engineering staff are foreign born. So it would be easy to have an agent get a job or find someone already employed to pay off. I doubt they have strong controls over data access, so it is probably not too hard to access data from the inside.
A better way is to have people at the western company's offices in China. Here is what I think Hauwei does: let the western companies hire new college graduates and train them (while they learn the western company's technology) and then hire them after a few years. I know of one case, and I'm sure there are many others.

I'd like to apologise to the pyt and to Matt in particular for my recent outburst. I had interjected a simple question without disclosing that the problem of the faked hoo-ha was layered in a defamation that had already been going on for an entire year of criminal trial and I finally had a chance to understand why my neighbors had turned against me. My skin was very raw, and I treated Matt's decently-natured comments as an excuse to conjure a weak flame in Matt's general direction, and the feeling was good, and I appreciate Matt's restraint and prescription of Midol and water. I'm actually one of his biggest fans.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
When did you hear of slave owners:
1) Lifting a steaming mound of freshly dumped shit after the slave, whilst maintaining eye contact, grunted it out onto the floor?
2) Fighting off slaves who constantly try to hump his leg?
3) Nearly freeze to death because the slaves steal the quilt off the bed in the middle of the night even though the slave owner has made it abundantly clear the bedroom is out of bounds?
4) Constantly has to wash the quilt cover(s) because - see 3) above?
5) Has to guard his plate because the slaves don't understand what "gerroff my food, y'buggers" means?
I could go on but I need to go outside and grab some fresh air. The slaves, currently stretched out in front of the fire, have been farting all night and the fumes are making me light headed.
Slaves?
I'm doing it wrong.

Fuck. I wuz joking around... but I was RIGHT...
https://www.financialsamurai.com/wp-con ... 01/aoc.png"Symbionese" concept
In his manifesto "Symbionese Liberation Army Declaration of Revolutionary War & the Symbionese Program", Donald DeFreeze wrote, "The name 'symbionese' is taken from the word symbiosis and we define its meaning as a body of dissimilar bodies and organisms living in deep and loving harmony and partnership in the best interest of all within the body."[1] The political symbiosis DeFreeze describes means the unity of all left-wing struggles, feminist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, and others. DeFreeze wanted all races, genders, and ages to fight together in a left-wing united front, and to live together peacefully.[2]
....
The SLA formed as a result of the prison visitation programs of the radical left-wing group Venceremos Organization and a group known as the Black Cultural Association in Soledad prison.
....
The 1976 film Network features a Maoist insurgent group, the Ecumenical Liberation Army. Although the film distinguishes it from the SLA, it is plainly a parody of the group and its relationship with the television business.[40][41] Over the course of the film, the ELA kidnaps an heiress and reeducates her into the group, robs a bank, and negotiates with the titular network for its own prime-time program, The Mao Tse-Tung Hour.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
That huge nyc blackout a few days ago... had zero effect on me. I might as well have been reading headlines from Timbuktu.
An hour ago... a gossipy app which provides alerts about nearby crime... said there were 3 people with guns in the smoke shop right downstairs.
Police responded, the app said. I had no idea that was happening. I didn't even get up to look out the window.
Likewise, internet journalism & tv news channels-- eagerly announced a RACEWAR between Trump and Pelosi and ICE and 4 antifa congresscunts.
But I was busy with Other Shit...
DAY 1
my oriental gf takes care of her elderly parents. Her mom fell in the bathroom. I had to go lift her up. Later she was too weak to get off the toilet. I had to lift her onto ambulance stretcher. She'll never get to return home. From now on: emergency room->rehab->places-where-old-people-go-until-they-die GF went along in the ambulance & had to miss a japanese streetwear magazine photoshoot, she was supposed to oversee. Photographer said he could handle it alone. Just one teen black boy model. 3 changes of clothes. I went along, like a golf caddy-- carrying the garment bag & suggesting interesting locations to take pictures.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, GF gets a call from friend of a friend... in LA. A celebrity is launching a cosmetic or fashion line or something-- and GF + me were recommended to be the local NYC leads for the promotional-launch-event-thingie. Would be a big step-up in my paygrade. Unlike most gigs, this celebrity is someone I've actually heard-of & think highly of.
https://66.media.tumblr.com/438724202a4 ... o1_400.gif
DAY 2
All day, CNN scrollbar across bottom of muted hospital TV-- assures me The Trumps Racist Tweet Racewar of 2019 is still the Most Important Thing. GF takes a call about the promo-event-job. In between meetings with doctor's assistant & social worker & rep from an old folks home-- drumming up business in the hospital ward. GF's sisters are there-- one a high-powered exec, smart but with severe ADD like an 80's yuppie cokehead. The other a flakey aging-hipster who sez kratom got her off opioids. (But really she does both). The flakey one has grandiose ideas about elderly dad giving up the apartment & moving in with her (so she can stop paying 1/3 of parents' rent & instead demand $ from the other 2 sisters). Plus renting out the apartment as Air B&B. (Which I have been drafted to run, in her mind.) Plus, whenever hospital staff stop by old mom's room-- flakey one blathers about herself & all her made-up ailments... and all her very-real knowledge of various painkillers. I silently wonder if she's ruining her mother's chance of being prescribed strong drugs. Will the staff be worried that daughter will steal the pills?
The day grew long. Back at home, I looked at the promo-event-job internal strategy documents. Realized the design of the thing is wide-open... as long as I meet their vague checklist of elements... I'm free to be a frickin Artiste... & design a weird artsy interior space for the event. Like I'm Warhol or Banksy or... Kanye! I'm intimidated by the opportunity. But maybe I should devote my attention to the trump racewar news instead.
An hour ago... a gossipy app which provides alerts about nearby crime... said there were 3 people with guns in the smoke shop right downstairs.

my oriental gf takes care of her elderly parents. Her mom fell in the bathroom. I had to go lift her up. Later she was too weak to get off the toilet. I had to lift her onto ambulance stretcher. She'll never get to return home. From now on: emergency room->rehab->places-where-old-people-go-until-they-die GF went along in the ambulance & had to miss a japanese streetwear magazine photoshoot, she was supposed to oversee. Photographer said he could handle it alone. Just one teen black boy model. 3 changes of clothes. I went along, like a golf caddy-- carrying the garment bag & suggesting interesting locations to take pictures.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, GF gets a call from friend of a friend... in LA. A celebrity is launching a cosmetic or fashion line or something-- and GF + me were recommended to be the local NYC leads for the promotional-launch-event-thingie. Would be a big step-up in my paygrade. Unlike most gigs, this celebrity is someone I've actually heard-of & think highly of.

DAY 2
All day, CNN scrollbar across bottom of muted hospital TV-- assures me The Trumps Racist Tweet Racewar of 2019 is still the Most Important Thing. GF takes a call about the promo-event-job. In between meetings with doctor's assistant & social worker & rep from an old folks home-- drumming up business in the hospital ward. GF's sisters are there-- one a high-powered exec, smart but with severe ADD like an 80's yuppie cokehead. The other a flakey aging-hipster who sez kratom got her off opioids. (But really she does both). The flakey one has grandiose ideas about elderly dad giving up the apartment & moving in with her (so she can stop paying 1/3 of parents' rent & instead demand $ from the other 2 sisters). Plus renting out the apartment as Air B&B. (Which I have been drafted to run, in her mind.) Plus, whenever hospital staff stop by old mom's room-- flakey one blathers about herself & all her made-up ailments... and all her very-real knowledge of various painkillers. I silently wonder if she's ruining her mother's chance of being prescribed strong drugs. Will the staff be worried that daughter will steal the pills?
The day grew long. Back at home, I looked at the promo-event-job internal strategy documents. Realized the design of the thing is wide-open... as long as I meet their vague checklist of elements... I'm free to be a frickin Artiste... & design a weird artsy interior space for the event. Like I'm Warhol or Banksy or... Kanye! I'm intimidated by the opportunity. But maybe I should devote my attention to the trump racewar news instead.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
This just in: an oh-so-woke "best of the Web" link aggregator is actually a hotbed of covert white supremacy.
When the site's owner begs for yet more donations, because he's spending $33,000 a month, most of it on the salary of seven moderators working shifts 24/7 deleting wrong speak, the membership brainstorms as to why so many have left the site, and so few have recently signed on. Then it's revealed: the super-woke site is in decline because it “is full of effective white supremacists”:
When a woke whitey woman responds,
The original commenter (plus several others who are not quoted) excommunicates woke whitey woman from the Church of Progressive Righteousness:
Unfortunately, the thread never reaches any conclusions as to why they're losing members. If only we could figure that out!
Another choice morsel of progressive revelation, from the same thread: "Complaint is an effective way of working against, of pushing on the idea that joy is attainable in an inequitable world, or that joy is worthy, or even moral."
Plus, lots of talk about Social Justice "101" versus "201" "education".
The entire thread (1263 comments, until some are deleted as heretical) is incredibly long but oh-so-important, an amazing snapshot of the "friendly fire" and collateral cannibalistic carnage in the trenches of Social Justice Warfare.
If that's not enough, you can additionally Educate Yourself with their latest thread (this one limited to comments by POC only) on what makes the site so horribly white and racist.

...the kind of effective white supremacists that are against racism in theory but won’t do anything to help, and in fact will see discussion about racism as taking up space / exhausting / patronizing. [....] These days, if you’re not actively thinking about race, you’re probably racist. And if you’re discouraging being less racist because it’s “exhausting”, or you critique it by saying ‘the tone should be better’ without actively doing anything to continue or support conversations about race, you’re probably definitely a white supremacist.
When a woke whitey woman responds,
I work in Diversity & Inclusion [...] I also chair an allyship group, and organize fund raisers for groups that help underrepresented minorities. [....] I understand that I am a white person in Western civilization, and as such will always be a part of systemic racism.
And at the end of the day, I want to come home and read something nice about cats being stuck in scanners without being called a white supremacist for it. [...] -- but if you're wondering why this site has fewer users than ever, maybe consider that there is a whole world out there, offline and online, where people are making a difference and that doesn't involve performative Doing The Work on [this site].
The original commenter (plus several others who are not quoted) excommunicates woke whitey woman from the Church of Progressive Righteousness:
This is a horrifying comment, a kind of total entitlement. I cannot believe this is real. It's like a caricature of white fragility and white supremacy and white entitlement! [....] how incredibly entitled, tone-deaf this is. [...] I am blown away and utterly saddened by so many comments by so many posters that are actively making it harder for IBPOC[*] here.

Well I for one am glad of the contribution women made to the Space Race.
Who's going to play them in the film?

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
I'm happy to give them credit where credit's due. Those suits were works of art. They also had vicious quality control. I recall there's a story where one of the women discovered a flaw in the stitching of another, and came up behind her and stuck her with a needle. Imagine that happening in today's workplace?InfraRedBucket wrote: ↑ Well I for one am glad of the contribution women made to the Space Race.

Yep, that was in Moon Machines, a 6-parts documentary that I highly recommend. It deals with engineering and manufacture during the space race.I recall there's a story where one of the women discovered a flaw in the stitching of another, and came up behind her and stuck her with a needle.

Good luck with your gig. Sounds great. Don't let the universe (including sick parents) stop you from going after this.Service Dog wrote: ↑ (the gig isn't a sure-thing yet)
I can't understand why CNN is still the network of choice at hospitals and airports. It is complete crap.... but there are not many options. MSNBC or Fox? I don't think so. It makes me feel like someone could start a small cable channel that is called something like "Only Headlines"..... "The Oh!" You could design it so there is an announcer, but mostly it will focus on the video only. In between the headlines you could add a cat or dog video just to get a chuckle in. It actually sounds pretty great to me.
Sorry about your girl's folks. Getting old is not pretty. Luckily, my old man made enough money to get decent care (even in America). My mom (92 yo) and dad (93 yo) are in independent care and they have a helper that puts in 50 hours a week with them. My siblings complain about my dad all the time and make my mom out to be a saint.... and they forget that he is the one that saved a million dollars before he retired (as a small business owner). Getting old with no money in the bank is total shit.
My dad's memory is so bad he forgets I am married... etc. He forgets that he has been in the dinning room at the care place every day....etc. I took him to lunch like I always do and he says.... "Oh... I've never been here before!" and I will say "Well, let's try it.... it looks pretty good."
Crazy siblings... I got that too. I help them all the time, but you have to put on limits or they suck the life out of you.
Monday was good. I fasted and had a work out and said to myself... "I need everybody to get the fuck out of my head. Get out of my head". So, I listened to HMS Pinafore, and did my workout, and laughed and laughed. Too bad the English aren't funny anymore. "and he never says the big big 'D'!.. what never?...no never... what never?.... well.... hardly ever! Hardly ever says the big big "D"!
Anyway... good luck!

Iowa agency director asked to resign day after emailing Tupac lyrics to all 4,300 department employees
Iowa Human Services Director Jerry Foxhoven frequently sent such messages to various employees praising Tupac’s musical work, but was asked by Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) to resign last month after he sent the agencywide email.
The AP ... was given 350 pages worth of emails with the words “Tupac” or “2Pac” sent to and from Foxhoven during his two-year tenure at the helm of Iowa’s Department of Human Services....
For years, Foxhoven hosted weekly “Tupac Fridays” where he would play the rapper’s music in the office. He also brought Shakur-themed cookies to the office to celebrate his 65th birthday, some with the iconic phrase “Thug life” written on them....
He said he sent the email in an attempt to break down racist stereotypes about rap music.
