Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Eat right, die anyway.
I once read - I wish I knew where - that if you do everything 'right' (as we understand it - don't smoke, drink moderately, exercise, watch your weight, eat whatever diet is considered correct, don't pick your nose, separate the coloureds from the whites in the laundry etc etc) you will, on average, increase your lifespan by two years. And have a 70% chance of spending your extra two years in a nursing home.

I recall Aubrey de Grey saying something along those lines. but I think being a good boy means you are less likely to spend the last 25 years of life as an overweight, foggy-brained, immobile schlub.screwtape wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 3:55 amEat right, die anyway.

Poor Megan, poor Harry. With their get-rich-quick money scheme shattered, and just nine million pounds between them, how are they to survive in the harsh wasteland of … <checks notes> … Vancouver. Why, it's like Syria. Or Sweden, depending on how you look at it. And that 35 million dollar mansion they were eyeing, that's probably not gonna happen now. What a shame. :violin:

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Some dude with obvious mental health issues asks PZ to remove an embarrassing post from years ago. Although it would cost him nothing and even give him a chance to engage in his passion for virtue signalling ("I'm a vegetarian, really I am!"), PZ says no. Even some of the horde realize PZ is being a dick.
https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula ... 9/a-truce/
He assume the wretch has been seething for years. No self-awareness. It is PZ who has been seething for years over the fact that, in spite of his best efforts, he was not made a fifth horseman. And in spite of his incessant white-knight pandering ever since that realization, he apparently has still not gotten into RW's pants.
Failed as a scientist.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Fascinating. It will be interesting to see if this goes viral and Bret Weinstein releases the evidence he says he has. If borne out, justice would be that Carol Greider is remembered as an anti-scientific hack rather than a Nobel Prize winner.
When it comes to peer review, there is a sort of Gel-Mann Amnesia Effect. Most who observe a particular scientific line on inquiry on the inside will observe the pernicious effects vanity, defensiveness and cronyism has on the peer review process. The natural error correction in science means that, long-term, the sausage making will yield essentially correct results, but short-term it can yield garbage. However, add in politics and group think, and the garbage output can be very durable, as observed in nutrition science. But even people who personally experience this suddenly forget about it when it comes to scientific papers on subjects where they lack familiarity, and every peer reviewed scientific paper is assumed to be unassailably true.

Ron Dart on the beatitudes? Has anyone checked this shit out?
Or is this how the young-lings of a more conservative bent are doing things these days - signalling their buy in to the Trad-life package deal by publicly committing to implausibilities. Pick your tribe, and stick with it seems to be the current popular wisdom. (And yes - for both the left and the right).
Oh well - at least the minor strain still seems viable, and more reasonable (at least to me)...

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
It looks like nice thoughts plausibly based on the text. He renders "blessed are the pure in heart" as "The Divine Life is offered to those whose Home is clean on the Inside", but "heart" in the bible means the seat of the will and I would have thought that a professor of religion would know this.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Fashion week came & went again. Some big money labels, known for big runway spectacles, have been scaling down their events... or have quit bothering to participate, at-all. Many labels are showing at a single venue, much like a multiplex for movies, so the production work for me shrinks from days or weeks... to a half day. The catering, lighting, seating rental, sound system, security, crowd management... is all handled in-house by the venue, rather than independent contractors being booked for each show.
I spent a handful of days in a Soho store, paid to hang-around and kinda-oversee the construction & a party. The clothes were shown on mannequins, not models. The most eye-catching sight was the showy clothes of attendees-- which has also grown stale & predictable, really. Then the hors d'oeuvres party turned into a drinking & dancing party. The label has an image-- like a Connecticut or Malibu menopausal lady who does a lot of yoga and talks about 'mindfulness' and 'serenity', but might be mean to her servants-- and likes to dress in modernistic minimalist architectural monochrome shapes. <--this description isn't intended to be derogatory, just evocative of a certain image. To the credit of the designer, I heard her describe the label in similar terms, and say that lane has grown crowded, & it's time to show there's other dimensions to what they represent. For some mystery reason, this label attracts fashion wannabees... generally 'ghetto' and 'overweight' looking... who show-up outside the shows in clownlike clothes, hoping to be mistaken for someone important... and photographed by paparazzi. The label seems to be meeting those fans halfway, with a more black and urban edge... The clothes are still the same... but there are these young black muse guys the designer brought-in & the clothes are being shown in that context. To me... it still seems very Aging Right White Lady to get a sudden penchant for edgy poor black dudes & let them dj & decorate her party. To me, this turn already feels slightly dated... like Hood By Air, Raf Simmons, Off-White brands, and Kanye West. But everyone was very nice & the staff didn't seem oppressed. Still... at the end, I felt like I was hungover on crazypills... just a small dose. As I get older, I get exhausted by immersion in the fluffy female-brain gayguy milieu. I need days to settle my brain, after. And rest my feet. Plantar fasciitis.
Then I worked one proper runway show. LIke I said-- a half day in the multiplex. With... all?... nearly all?... my former job duties handled in-house now. But there's still a line on the budget for me & the crew that hired me, I guess. So we show up & look busy & get paid, until someone someday notices we're not contributing much. The label is chinese & they had trouble getting their clothes & staff into the country. It was perfectly Zoolander: the runway music was generic club dance music... with a gayblack sounding guy saying "Narcissism... narcissism... narcissism..." as the lyric. And the models wore clothes with 'Narcissism' printed in the pattern. Yes, some models wore gold coronavirus facemasks.
https://i.imgur.com/FGBICOs.jpg
The following week was dominated by my dog faltering. He turned 14. His black legs get crossed-up & he wobbles & even his front legs sometimes limp. It could be neurological/genetic/degenerative... dog version of ALS. Which would progress to not being able to squat to shit, or release his pee, hold his neck up or breathe. Maybe in a year+, maybe sooner. Or it could be slipped discs, or bad hips or pain from his bad knees. $500 at the vet didn't give clarity, after a few days but he has inexplicably recovered... mostly, for now. He's on new pain pills & anti-inflamatories. I carry him down the 3 flights of apartment stairs in a gym bag now, with holes for his legs. 80 lbs. One wrong twist to my spine or an ankle, could make the chore much worse. His quality of life seems ok. He sniffs around on walks, engages with other dogs, searches for litter to eat, wags his tail.
The landlord offered us a different apartment-- just one flight of stairs. I don't know his motive... self-interest, pity? But that unit is closer to the garbage smells on the sidewalk and homeless piss on the front door and drunk whities loud leaving bars, ghetto blacks arguing at night. I think we're going to stay upstairs. It's my gf's preference. And really it's her place/ her choice. Rent is about the same. We'd be legit on that lease. On this one... we're in a grey area. Technically, the rent-stabilized lease dates-back to a previous room-mate & a new landlord to try to evict us & raise the rent/ if the building is sold. The offer of a new lease on a different floor... made me feel like I couldn't just cruise-along without questioning the status quo. The prospect of change forced a choice on me-- the need to actively make a commitment. As-in... how-committed is my relationship with gf? Scary to contemplate. I'm comfortable envisioning us growing old together-- if it just sorta Happens To us, passively. But having to actively Choose a path... makes me wonder if I should bolt toward solo freedom. Like the impulse to jump off a ledge.
Wrapped up in this is our sex life slowing down. She's still as horny as ever... I'm not in the mood, as much. There's a bad feedback cycle... her reaction to being sexually frustrated... is to do things which make me want to fuck less: drink wine until her conversation starts to suck. And smoke stinky cigs & weed. Her ego is offended by the notion that she should Do Something to turn me on. She figures she should already-be sexy-enough, so it's an insult to her-- to figure out how to get me in the mood. I'm supposed to just be horny & take the lead. Ok... but that means she's stuck waiting for me to feel like it. I worry this is a symptom of a deeper problem... that she will be unwilling to make changes to accommodate me in other ways, as life unfolds. Maybe she'd rather lose me than adapt.
Did I mention she & worked together on the fashion week stuff? All the themes of those previous paragraphs repeated in the last few days, as we took another job: An advertising promotion with behind-the-scenes ties to that notorious anti-male Gillette razor ad, last year. This promotion was pro-woman, tho. Including a dumb superbowl ad. And an aging actress spokeswoman... who I always liked onscreen... but am not sure I like as a real person. The most memorable part of the gig... was one of the execs. Who is infamous... for a personal tragedy which killed her entire family. Her children & parents. Her boyfriend & ex-husband are also dead, since then. And no clear culpability on her part... but she's not 100% exonerated from blame, either. She was a Hillary Clinton-esque cunt before the tragedy... and it's unclear that she's very humbled afterward. To me, she's like Chernobyl. I'll go-there as necessary, for a price. Live & let live. My gf identifies with the exec & is much-more inclined to entangle with her, on a personal level. The gig we worked was full of woke-corporate politics... and I rankle at being preached-at by someone perhaps-quite-unworthy of assuming they're 'above' me, morally. Which resonates with all the do-gooder democrat prez candidates, on their high horses, looking down on me as deplorable. Bloomberg! Biden! Bernie! Warren! Buttigieg! Klobachar! Trump. 'Sic semper tyrannis', as J.W. Booth once said.
So, back home again, today. Decompressing again. Clearing my head from the crazy old lady + minions buzz buzz buzzing. Vague friction with gf, because she kinda thrives in that environment & she's happy to read celebrity nonsense gossip headlines to me, from her phone screen. The last thing I want to think about. Ideally, I'll get horny later today & that will put us back on each other's good side.

Technically, the rent-stabilized lease dates-back to a previous room-mate & a new landlord to try to evict us & raise the rent/ if the building is sold. The offer of a new lease on a different floor... made me feel like I couldn't just cruise-along without questioning the status quo. The prospect of change forced a choice on me-- the need to actively make a commitment. As-in... how-committed is my relationship with gf? Scary to contemplate. I'm comfortable envisioning us growing old together-- if it just sorta Happens To us, passively. But having to actively Choose a path... makes me wonder if I should bolt toward solo freedom. Like the impulse to jump off a ledge.
Wrapped up in this is our sex life slowing down. She's still as horny as ever... I'm not in the mood, as much. There's a bad feedback cycle... her reaction to being sexually frustrated... is to do things which make me want to fuck less: drink wine until her conversation starts to suck. And smoke stinky cigs & weed. Her ego is offended by the notion that she should Do Something to turn me on. She figures she should already-be sexy-enough, so it's an insult to her-- to figure out how to get me in the mood. I'm supposed to just be horny & take the lead. Ok... but that means she's stuck waiting for me to feel like it. I worry this is a symptom of a deeper problem... that she will be unwilling to make changes to accommodate me in other ways, as life unfolds. Maybe she'd rather lose me than adapt.
Did I mention she & worked together on the fashion week stuff? All the themes of those previous paragraphs repeated in the last few days, as we took another job: An advertising promotion with behind-the-scenes ties to that notorious anti-male Gillette razor ad, last year. This promotion was pro-woman, tho. Including a dumb superbowl ad. And an aging actress spokeswoman... who I always liked onscreen... but am not sure I like as a real person. The most memorable part of the gig... was one of the execs. Who is infamous... for a personal tragedy which killed her entire family. Her children & parents. Her boyfriend & ex-husband are also dead, since then. And no clear culpability on her part... but she's not 100% exonerated from blame, either. She was a Hillary Clinton-esque cunt before the tragedy... and it's unclear that she's very humbled afterward. To me, she's like Chernobyl. I'll go-there as necessary, for a price. Live & let live. My gf identifies with the exec & is much-more inclined to entangle with her, on a personal level. The gig we worked was full of woke-corporate politics... and I rankle at being preached-at by someone perhaps-quite-unworthy of assuming they're 'above' me, morally. Which resonates with all the do-gooder democrat prez candidates, on their high horses, looking down on me as deplorable. Bloomberg! Biden! Bernie! Warren! Buttigieg! Klobachar! Trump. 'Sic semper tyrannis', as J.W. Booth once said.
So, back home again, today. Decompressing again. Clearing my head from the crazy old lady + minions buzz buzz buzzing. Vague friction with gf, because she kinda thrives in that environment & she's happy to read celebrity nonsense gossip headlines to me, from her phone screen. The last thing I want to think about. Ideally, I'll get horny later today & that will put us back on each other's good side.

Adrian Belew and his 4 year old daughter Audie. She talks about it in the comments.

Or is this how the young-lings of a more conservative bent are doing things these days - signalling their buy in to the Trad-life package deal by publicly committing to implausibilities. Pick your tribe, and stick with it seems to be the current popular wisdom. (And yes - for both the left and the right).
Oh well - at least the minor strain still seems viable, and more reasonable (at least to me)...

Becca Twatson seems to be following in PZ’s trend of refusing to take the higher road because they’re just so superior to everyone else and cannot be questioned.
Bets on who she’s bombing for a $3 libelfilled Patreon post, some former skepchicks? Someone in the UK or US?
‘A Twitter discussion yesterday reminded me of a woman who shit-talked me while I was being harassed, tried to steal my boyfriend, and then I had to support her when she had her own #metoo moment. So I told my Patrons about her bc I am out of fucks’

I can't remember a thing after dropping that pill last night. Sure hope I didn't make a fool out of myself.katamari Damassi wrote: ↑You straights get up to some sick stuff. I'm a tolerant guy.
