Well, SP does morning links yesterday, Web Dominatrix does an article last night, and here I am doing links today. We’re running out of family members here to write this shit.
I’m just back from my second technical conference in two weeks. Fortunately, I didn’t have to fly to it, it was within a day’s drive. Unfortunately, I had an invited paper to present, which meant wearing a suit. This is particularly annoying because in a suit, I look like an elderly and chubby side-show monkey, and really, I became a scientist because it was a profession that would not require me to be in business attire. Even worse, I couldn’t have my emotional support polar bear with me because of the hot weather.
Oh, and I hear, “Laurel.”
On to the news:
Europe, always a bastion of free speech.
Wilders has lived in safe houses under 24-hour guard since 2004 to protect him from Islamist militants who threaten to kill him. He says Islam is a fascist ideology, and has called for halting immigration from Muslim countries, shutting mosques and banning the Koran.
So he’s (correctly) complaining that the government wants to shut down his freedom of speech, while happily calling for banning of a book and ending religious freedom. I really do hate everyone in this story. He does have great hair, though. You gotta give him that.
This story amazes me. Not because the lawyer was an asshole, but because people acted so shocked and surprised that a New York Jewish lawyer would be an asshole. Inconceivable! What doesn’t surprise me is the functional illiteracy of both the guy who started the outrage cycle and the moron who wrote the article.
“They where on there [sic] lunch time and ordering there [sic] food and just because they where speaking in Spanish to the waiter this asshole jumps in and started to call the waiter and my wife and her best friend all types of names and threatened to call I.C.E on them and the employees,” Suazo wrote. “What a big man talking down to couple of women and a helpless employee. I wish someone tells me I can’t speak in my native language! First of all they wasn’t talking to you!!”
Could this actually be real? Maurauding packs of wiener dogs?
Original reports that the dogs that attacked Garcia were pit bulls proved not to be true, Bryant said.
WTF is it with Canadians? Best comment:
“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”
Someone needs to explain to me why racial segregation is now something promoted by black people.
“There is a spirit that is over this city that has to be brought down. A spirit of racism and division,” [Birmingham mayor] Woodfin said in a Facebook post. “We have to change the conversation to what we need it to evolve into. Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that,” the post went on to say.
Didn’t Woodfin get the memo? Only white people can be racist.
I think I’ll sit down and have a drink.
Old Guy Music! I wish Milt Buckner got the credit he deserved. He had a unique “locked hands” method of playing, very chord heavy. Here’s his take on a great Neal Hefti standard, and I probably need not point out that Jo Jones may have been a perfect drummer. His timing was… well… remarkable.
Well, that is a hazard of having a small family. Of course there’s no guaranteeing that a large family will even contribute.
And they don’t dare teach the orphans to read and write
I had expected it to be her commentary. I am dissapoint.
Some? “Some” were “predominantly” Dachshunds. That means bigger dogs were involved too. Well that takes the humor out of it.
Oh, I stand corrected.
Notice how the first thing people jumped to was, “Oh, it was a pack of pit bulls!” That absolutely infuriates me.
Yup. That’s why there are so many “pit bull” attacks. Every dog that mauls someone is automatically a pit bull.
One of the other reasons there’s so many pit bull attacks is because pit bulls are involved in a lot of attacks.
It has been confirmed on multiple occasions that reported “pit bull” attacks were actually another breed entirely. Part of the issue is that there are a number of breeds that go under the moniker “pit bull”, and that people call any dog that has a certain look (heavy head, etc.) a pit bull.
Montreal outlawed pit bulls because a boxer attacked someone.
I’ve had a pain on my left flank and my elbow for 3 days now. Feels like a pinched … something … in my elbow. Pretty sure I’m going to die. I’ll miss y’all.

Oh that’s quite good.
I like how they describe her “furiously” shitting on the floor.
But, remember even though she flung shit like an ape, don’t you dare call her an animal for reasons. Virtue signal out of context.
Who said not to call her an animal?
You’re an animal
Technically correct, which is the best kind.
But not MS 13 gang members.
So they’re Fungus? I thought they seemed Orky.
Now I’m morally superior to you for reasons
Careful with that broad brush, there.
I think she got her point across though, you might want to keep that tactic in your quiver.
She had a point?
Don’t shit where you eat.
*wild applause*
Ditto. Furiously is not an adjective I would have thought to associate with shitting. But it is a movement I could get behind.
Furtive movement?
Furiously is also the adjective they always use for man masturbates in place he shouldn’t stories.
Maybe “triumphantly” sends the wrong message.

No half measures if you don’t want to get caught. Or if you do.
from the segregation article: “I really think it shouldn’t be up there,” says 16-year old Keagan Edwards.
What is the media’s obsession with 16 year olds, dude?
They have a wisdom that adults don’t have.
I agree. True wisdom only comes from total lack of experience.
16 year olds are the new 6 year olds. Woke kids, the lot of ’em.
Naivete stops being charming when it’s coming from an adult.
I also hear Laurel.
I heard Yanny on my computer speaker, but then they played it on the radio and all I could hear was Laurel.
To be fair, Wilders is calling for the banning of a faith that contains no small number of adherents who would love to chop off his head if they had half a chance to, hence the safehouses and guards and whatnot. His call for a total ban on Islam in the Netherlands is a stupid fix for a very serious problem they have.
Don’t go that way. Once you start down the path of collectivism, forever will it rule your destiny.
I don’t agree with the guy but what happened to Pim Fortuyn and Ayn Hirsi Ali likely heavily influenced his thinking so I’m willing to cut him a little bit of a break.
It’s hard for me to articulate what I’m thinking about this subject, but I’ll give it a try. I think that what people say about Islam is very indicative about how the speaker sees the world. It also depends on how knowledgeable they really are about it (I consider myself to be not very well informed on the subject of theology in general).
My perspective: I try to look at everything through an individual rights prism. Preach what you want, eat what you want, wear what you want; I don’t care until you try to pass laws about it that apply to me. You can even advocate that non-believers be killed. I will think you are an asshole for advocating that, but I won’t try to get a mob to lock you up or kill you for it, or ban your religion.
What I think progressives generally think of Islam: In a nutshell; Reprehensible on its face, but totes OK, because it’s generally practiced by brown people who need to be protected by my white-knightedness.
What I think Socons think of Islam: Probably not far from what I think of it; Probably not that knowledgeable about it, but hear enough bad things about it to not want to be a part of it. Difference being that they don’t want it near them at all and fear that it will displace Christianity and cause terrorism because some Muslims commit terrorist acts after Islamists tell them to. This is not entirely unreasonable if you are not highly individualistic.
I have more confidence in my conception of the Prog view than I do of the Socon view. I don’t have high confidence of understanding the underlying motivations and thought processes of religious folk. Generalization is generally prone to failure, but is necessary for discussions of this nature.
I can’t agree with this. Once you’re advocating for killing non-believers, you’re starting to incite violence which can (and throughout history has) boiled over into mob violence and genocide. Its the very edge of what I consider prohibited expression. All expression right up until you start advocating violence against another group should be protected. I shouldn’t need to put a disclaimer saying that satire and comedy, etc. excluded. I’m talking about people that are no-shit advocating very real violence against other people on a regular basis.
We know the direction that this is going, though, e.g. the UK cops going after comedians.
Its incumbent on the citizens to not allow that to happen. I think what we have here in the states is a good balance. You can’t actually threaten people (which is well-defined in our law, from my understanding), but you are A-Okay to say that you hate them/don’t want them here. Same goes for inciting violence… you can’t actively encourage it when your speaking to a crowd (i.e. “You hate ____, I hate ___, okay time for you to go out there, grab your rifles and kill those _________. Seriously, lets kill ______! Like right now!”)
I think I’m pretty close to your take on it. My take is this: I don’t believe any religion should be banned per se, but actions that conflict with individual liberty don’t get a pass just because they’re performed under the guise of religious duty. So if you want to say that God thinks women should wear hijabs, that’s fine, and if you want to wear a hijab, that’s fine, too, but you don’t get to try to force a woman to wear a hijab if she doesn’t want to.
Basically what I’m saying is that, in Billtopia, there’s one state religion, and that’s individual liberty. Any other religions can exist and do whatever they want, but if the two conflict, liberty wins every time.
That said, I reserve the right to judge the shit out of people’s beliefs, especially as beliefs influence cultural norms and moral standards, which in turn generate practices. Muslim culture in the US, at least what little I’ve been exposed to, seems to jibe well with American culture in general, or at least no less well than other religions, but Muslim culture as witnessed abroad seems to be a poor fit to say the least. Not sure how much of that is tied to the faith, though.
“but Muslim culture as witnessed abroad seems to be a poor fit to say the least.”
Seems like a good fit to me. Totalitarians finding each other.
I’ve noticed that a lot of “progressives” fall into this binary thinking when it comes to groups they see as being oppressed or victimized: they think (correctly) that not every single one of those people fits the negative stereotype, but then they make the jump into thinking that NONE of them do.
Not every single Muslim is a misogynist, homophobic terrorist, therefore none of them are (that’s why they think it’s irrational to make any connection whatsoever between Islam and terrorism)
Not every homeless person is mentally deranged and dangerous, therefore none of them are.
Not every person on government assistance is a bum who doesn’t want to work, therefore none of them are.
Not every black person is a criminal, therefore none of them are (this particular one is what leads them to assume that it’s a horrible racist incident every time the police shoot a black person)
Yet, because one gun owner commits murder, every gun owner is a murderer. Because one Republican is a scumbag, every Republican is a scumbag. Because one corporation rips off its customers, every corporation, etc.
Its just naked tribalism. They divvy the world up into tribes, declare some good and others bad, and proceed from there.
When you look at it from the lens of if it helps them promote their totalitarian collectivist ideology they are all for it, and when it stands in the way, they hate it, even if these things result in constant cognitive dissonance, it all becomes quite clear.
Once you start down the path of collectivism, forever will it rule your destiny.
The difficulty, of course, is that it is not possible to have rule of law, even in a minarchy, without rules of general application that by necessity are collectivist, in the sense that they define groups. Not all laws, of course, but I’ve never heard of a legal regime that does not.
Difference being that they don’t want it near them at all and fear that it will displace Christianity and cause terrorism because some Muslims commit terrorist acts after Islamists tell them to.
One thing I am struggling with is that there is a certain involuntary association with everyone who lives in your community (however defined). Regardless of whether you have overt, direct, explicit associations with them, your community as a whole creates the environment that you live in. So, if your community has a sizable population of religious nutters who are constantly yammering on about killing the infidel, even if they don’t actually do it, your community will have a pretty bitter divide in it, be tainted by fear and hatred, etc., and your life will be affected.
That said, I reserve the right to judge the shit out of people’s beliefs, especially as beliefs influence cultural norms and moral standards, which in turn generate practices.
This is what I’m getting at. And if I don’t want my community to turn into one with a a pretty bitter divide in it, be tainted by fear and hatred, etc., I’m not sure why I’m the one who has to leave so the nutters can move in and wreck it. This can lead to a pretty dark place, though, which is why I struggle with it.
Well that’s the thing, a community where one half isn’t interested in getting along with the other half isn’t a community, and when you have a single geographic region inhabited by two communities in competition, you get conflict. At the end of the day, if one culture’s practices or beliefs isolate it from others, for whatever reasons, they aren’t going to assimilate into a community with a different culture. This is the whole “Is Islam compatible with the West” thing, but it holds for other communities as well. It’s just that on the one hand you have groups like the Amish who solve the problem by isolating themselves, and on the other you have groups that try to drive the competition away.
The “don’t collectivize” never seems to apply to communists, or socialists or NAZIs or progressives around here. Which is why it sounds a lot like “don’t collectivize if it’s an ideology with a lot of brown people” instead of “don’t collectivize at all.”
Fortunately for the Netherlands, they have neither freedom of speech nor religion.
So it’s all good.

A leading scientist has declared homeopathy a “therapeutic dead-end” after a systematic review concluded the controversial treatment was no more effective than placebo drugs.
Professor Paul Glasziou, a leading academic in evidence based medicine at Bond University, was the chair of a working party by the National Health and Medical Research Council which was tasked with reviewing the evidence of 176 trials of homeopathy to establish if the treatment is valid.
A total of 57 systematic reviews, containing the 176 individual studies, focused on 68 different health conditions – and found there to be no evidence homeopathy was more effective than placebo on any.

Homeopathy is, chemically, the placebo effect. I am not surprised.
I overdosed on some homeopathic medicine. I didn’t take any.
I honestly am amazed that anyone is still bothering to do any further work on it- it was so thoroughly debunked decades ago that it seems like a total waste of time to do it yet again. Oh wait, grant money. Never mind.

Except for this one! I just remembered! When I was 10-12 or so, I was watching tv in the basement and changing channels. My mom called out to me and i was trying to hear but I was still hitting buttons. I accidentally blocked the TV so you needed a code to get to the channels once you turned it on.
For at least six months or so, we had to hit “Q.V.” and “9” at the same time to override the system. As punishment, my brother printed out a list of all the combinations of numbers from 0000-9999. I had to do 30 minutes or so a day of testing to try and figure out the code.
I remember finally figuring it out and doing a Shawshank and raising my hands to the
skyceiling. I don’t remember what the code was, but I do know it was in the 4000s. My gut is telling me 4364. I’m sure that’s wildly, wildly off. That number seems so familiar; I’m sure that it comes from somewhere in my history.What a metaphor for the left! He got power over the TV for literally a matter of minutes, and his first thought was to find a sneaky way to prevent any other viewpoint from being heard ever again.
Similar anecdote. I went to American Legion Boy’s State when I was in high school, because it looks good on your college application. It’s a week long model government/civics kind of exercise. It was a ton of Fucking White Males at an American Legion event, so it was overwhelmingly conservative.
All the leftists decided to join the newspaper, and the paper was full of shitty articles talking about the “dominance of right wing perspectives at Boy’s State” even though, as I said, it was chock full of white males who chose to spend a week at a fucking American Legion civics and government camp.
Probably 20 actual progs in a camp of 800 kids, and they all went straight for control of the media.
And they wonder why some of us point out the left should never be allowed in power because they just cant resist being totalitarians?
Shit that never happened…. You know the rest.

My mother, who’s never met a flash game or download she didn’t like, needed a new laptop. Knowing what would happen if she bought it, I made her give me her credit card and bought a basic Dell laptop, which is more than enough to do with what she does, and it’s at my house to set up before I give it to her. Going to install all the normal stuff, make sure she uses Chrome, install noscript, https everywhere, uBlock and Ghostery, install antivirus (and keep it on a scanning schedule) and such … anything I’m missing?
McAfee Antivirus, the free edition, and the Yahoo and Ask toolbars.

Instead she goes out and buys a Dell with a dinky processor and 4GB of memory that chugs under the strain of Windows 10 alone. So now I’m trying to figure out why background processes on this 20-hour old laptop are keeping the processor fully occupied.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. That thing saved multiple PCs that were infected at MBR level which no other program could, back when I did tech support.

Sex differences in the human brain are of interest for many reasons: for example, there are sex differences in the observed prevalence of psychiatric disorders and in some psychological traits that brain differences might help to explain. We report the largest single-sample study of structural and functional sex differences in the human brain (2750 female, 2466 male participants; mean age 61.7 years, range 44–77 years). Males had higher raw volumes, raw surface areas, and white matter fractional anisotropy; females had higher raw cortical thickness and higher white matter tract complexity. There was considerable distributional overlap between the sexes. Subregional differences were not fully attributable to differences in total volume, total surface area, mean cortical thickness, or height. There was generally greater male variance across the raw structural measures. Functional connectome organization showed stronger connectivity for males in unimodal sensorimotor cortices, and stronger connectivity for females in the default mode network. This large-scale study provides a foundation for attempts to understand the causes and consequences of sex differences in adult brain structure and function.

I haven’t been late or missed a day of work in a year. For that accomplishment, my work gives me a 100 dollar gift card to one of a dozen or so places.
My check this week will have an extra 39 dollars in taxes taken out.
So you are happy you are paying your fair share? Or do I misunderstand your comment?
Trading 39 actual dollars for 100 gift card dollars would be completely off the table for me. Gift cards follow a magic path from envelope to various piles on desks/dressers to a drawer to the trash. It takes many months for their journey, but they persevere.
I at least got the gift to be to wal-mart. I gave it to wife unit this morning. It will be used.
Send the gift card in as payment on your taxes next year.
I really wish we were allowed to pay taxes in kind. It would be great to send the government my taxes in beans every year.
Oooh I like this! As a lawyer I could pay my taxes in BS.
I own cows. I would love to pay my taxes in literal bullshit.
Sorry. Literal cow-shit maybe.
Iraq is definitely on its way to recovery now….
I’m sure Iran approves.
Can it get any worse over there? Ah, the communists are going to have power, yes it can.
Hey, that gives me an idea…
1. Ship all the “progressives” to Iraq
2. Pull US forces completely out of the Middle East
3. Let the “progressives” and the tolerant, peace-loving Muslims built utopia together
I mean, surely, without cis white Christian males around, all the gays and transsexuals can live in perfect harmony with the Iraqis, right? We should give Ta-Nehesi Coates a first-class priority ticket: I hear he has a lot of issues with America’s racist past. The Middle East has always been nice to people of African descent, right? Right?
Crazy Sconnie kids!
Excellent creativity and response from ‘authorities’.
They arrested the kids for filing a false police report, creating a public disturbance, and resisting arrest?
and shot their dogs, never forget to shoot the dogs.
Well obviously the dogs. I mean, that goes without saying, doesn’t it.

OMFG, would all of you go die in a fire already?
“Why do you disrespect your dead father by denigrating all the hard work he put into accumulating the wealth he charged you with administering wisely when he passed? Have you no decency?”
This is why progs screeching about generational wealth are such idiots.
Bob builds his empire with hard work and intelligent decisions. He has a son, Bob II. Bob II is sent to business school, and is a capable administrator, but he lacks that knife edged competitiveness and allows the family holdings to slip slightly into drifting on autopilot. His son, Bob III, is allowed to study whatever he wants to study in school, because they are comfortable. He comes back, takes over, and begins to operate business which employ thousands of people as a social experiment in woke capitalism. This ends as expected.
If Bob IV wants to be rich, he’s gonna have to be like his great grandad and build it up from nothing.
The old saying “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” applies.
Pretty much spot on.
Although sometimes you have dynasties where the first few people made so much wealth it takes multiple generations for the descendants to be able to destroy it. Or they turn it over to professional management and live of the results essentially in perpetuity.
I’m actually surprised the Trudeaus/Kennedys haven’t squandered the family fortune.
Their forefathers really made coin, eh?
I assume it’s because the patriarch who actually created the wealth put it in a trust where the ne-er-do-well offspring are not allowed to touch the principal.
Like a bunch of stupid zombies.
There’s no question they’d waste it all if there was no trust.
Because dumbasses.
They not only made massive coin, it was kept in a trust that the later generations of fuck ups could only get (very large) stipends from.

So I guess my family are doubly evil. My father was self-employed (an artist) and used properties as his source of pension income when he retired.
Let them think that. Let them wallow in their faux-righteous-intellectual stupidity.
In communism he would not have needed worry about retirement. Everything would be just free and you would need no money
Everything would be free – but you would starve in line waiting to get any.

No amount of communism has ever killed or hurt more people than a capitalists greed.
There’s someone who failed history.
That wasn’t real communism though, they’ll get it right next time.
Every failed socialist experiment becomes state-capitalism to the socialist historians of the future.
This may be true. A world with no amount of communism might well kill fewer people than a particular greedy capitalist. It would depend on the capitalist chosen.
We need to bring free market back. Capitalism can mean many things.
I always found that take on history intriguing. It’s esoteric more than factual. It’s fantastical more than it is reality. How do they quantify it objectively?
It’s just taking what they perceive to be an evil and come up with a subjective theory/formula to substantiate as best it could the idea capitalism kills more than communism.
Of course, with communism we can trace back the origin of how it evolved and by who. We can point to the perpetuators without much difficulty. Lenin himself pretty much said, ‘you have to kill to get communism going’.
What’s the equivalence to that with capitalism? Colonialism? Imperialism? Even then, that’s mighty weak.
They assume that billions continue to be callously mangled in dangerous factories on a daily basis, and the machines are left to continue running rather than bother to clean off the gore.
They assume that the wealth and comfort created by capitalism is the “baseline”, from which assumption it naturally flows that capitalism is bad. If you only look at the flaws in a system and discount all its merits it will of course look terrible. They come by this assumption through some combination of ignorance, naiveté, and stupidity. The reality is that the baseline is a harsh world in which sweat and blood are required to survive. The mere fact that most people can go their entire life eating without ever farming, fishing, or hunting is a testament to the wonders of capitalism and also an explanation for why so many people are detached from reality.
If I was organized enough to keep little snippets of text for future use, I would keep this one. Well said.
Communism is a group of people seeing somebody treading water, wondering why he doesn’t just stand on top of the water.
I have the link of the day. Bow before my greatness.
Read the detail for even more reasons why feminism is not about equality, but is about power.
‘Affirmative Concent’ is actually a method of psychological coersion. Each “Yes” a person utters going down a path makes it more difficult for them to change to a ‘no’, even if the path goes somewher ethey’d rather not.
TL;DR – Stop taking my actions seriously and just read my mind!
She would argue telepathy was cheating.
This reveals pretty well that what they want is the ability to ruin a life on the slimmest emotional whim.
If you attempt to solve the problem, you’re the enemy. They want the “problem” to continue, because that is the basis of their newfound power.
“This reveals pretty well that what they want is the ability to ruin a life on the slimmest emotional whim.”
You got it…
It has nothing to do with mind-reading. You are expected to be a time-traveler. You need to be able to view the future to make sure she doesn’t decided to ruin your life 10 years after the fact.
Consent can be withdrawn at any time. – even 6 months later when he leaves the toilet seat up one to many times (never got the American thing with the toilet seat up or down to be honest dunno if it is even a real thing or just in movies)
7. This shit is hard. There’s no easy out. – it’s only hard for 2 3 minutes though
On one hand, people who don’t put the seat down also aren’t doing to clean up after themselves if they’ve splashed onto said seat.
On the other hand, some people feel so entitled that they’ll not check the state of the seat and find themselves on cold porcelain instead of less cold plastic.
I decided a long time ago this was not worth going to war over. I put the seat and the lid down after use every time, and have been for 25 years now. It’s gotten to where I even do that when I’m staying in a hotel by myself.
Sounds like you are well trained….
I avoid the issue of seat up/seat down by just pissing in the sink.
We have cats for that.
(never got the American thing with the toilet seat up or down to be honest dunno if it is even a real thing or just in movies)
It is a real thing. My mom and sister would get mad whenever I left the toilet seat up. They could just check before they sit down but nooooooooooo… instead they just sit down immediately, get stuck in the toilet, and when it flushes, it pulls their insides right out.
Seeing this shit on the cultural horizon decades ago I found a culture where these ideas would neither easily translate nor adhere, learned the language and moved there. These ideas have no purchase in my wife’s mind.
7. This shit is hard. There’s no easy out.
It’s difficult when you insist on making it more difficult than it has to be.
1. Quit insisting that men and women are identical in their needs and motivations unless you’re willing to embrace the lowest common denominator, in this case, a man’s conscience-free, commitment-free attitude toward casual sex.
2. If you’re uncomfortable with committing to sex with a man who won’t necessarily call you the next day, and may bed down with your best friend, admit that your needs and motivations are not served by casual hookups.
3. Once you accept that you alone control your sexuality, you need to quit insisting that men are responsible for it. Quit berating men for being men. Quit accepting the doublethink proposition that you’re as sexually liberated as they but they need to subordinate their desires to your comfort.
4. Act accordingly. Enforce standards. Don’t jump in bed with men unless you’re willing to accept the emotional disconnect. Build up a reservoir of trust rather than insisting they bear the burden for you.
5. Be a liberated woman fully in charge of your sexual destiny.
The keys to the kingdom! I push the program guide button, find MSNBC, and select it. Then I realize that this is an opportunity that may never come again! I push the Menu button, find Settings, and there is the Mother Lode–Parental Control! I changed the Parental Control to On, then browse stations to lock out until I see Fox Propaganda and Fox Business. I lock out those two, then set the PIN code to 9897 (higher numbers usually take longer to find), Confirm, and exit. So now, not only can they NOT watch Fox Nooze, it doesn’t even come up on the program guide!
Just like rushing a machine gun nest on Normandy Beach with a K-bar and a smooth rock. Such noble. So bravery.

Word.
I need to start reading his stuff. I like the way he writes his blog posts, so I know I’m going to like his prose.
Did he invent, “Get Woke, Go Broke”? He uses it in one of his posts.
I like his books. Got a Monster Hunter in the queue on my shelf.
Like most (good?) authors, his writing has improved significantly over time. I’ve enjoyed the storytelling in all, but the quality of the writing has gotten noticeably better (cf., Butcher, Jim). His world-building is top-notch, regardless.
I’ve read all the Monster Hunter books, as well as his Grimnoir and Dead Six novels. Highly recommended.
Son of the Black Sword was amazing, can’t wait for the sequel
I second Son of the Black Sword.
I enjoyed Monster Hunter books. SotBS blew my mind, writing-wise. If I didn’t see the name on the cover, I’d never think it was the same guy.
Sequel this year! Woo!
As a libertarian I worry though that I will have less and less acceptable entertainment going forward. How the fuck did the most worthless category of society – social justice bullshit activists get so much power? Can anything be done to stop it?
Their power is that of the bully mob pretending to be bigger than it is.
They actually spend very little, make very little, and do very little beyond screeching on social media. People and companies make the mistake at looking at the volume of verbiage spewed and fail to realize it is a small cadre of overexcitable sub-hamsters.
^^^ this. The best solution is to tell them to fuck off.
I can tell them to fuck off but as long as big corporations don’t that does not help me much
You needn’t even tell them to fuck off. There’s a lot of currency in simply ignoring the nontroversies and refusing to apologize. My spending habits are absolutely swayed by whether a company stands firm against the SJW mob, even if they’re only being aloof. As soon as their PR hack starts caving, I take my dollars elsewhere.
There’s a lot of currency in simply ignoring the nontroversies and refusing to apologize.
We had a community organizer type who was causing trouble in our hospital and posting shit on Facebook. I actually had a group of people in my office wondering what we should do about it, saying they didn’t feel safe, blah blah fucking blah.
I told them that it would all drop off the front page in a day or two, and in a week it would be like it never existed, because that’s how social media works, so long as we ignored it entirely and didn’t respond in any way. They were not super happy, but couldn’t override me. And lo and behold, that’s exactly what happened.
“sub-hamsters”
Are you seriously comparing some anonymous people online to animals?
Triggered af
I would have called them hamsters, but that was unfair to rodentkind.
Because they are headed for the least accountable, most powerful and influential positions. They’re incompetents who ruin everything they touch, so they gravitate towards those positions in society where it does not matter if you’re incompetent, politics, journalism, social media blowhard….
Did I mention academia? Because definitely academia.
In short, any position where they can propagate their views to an audience, and it does not require them to be otherwise productive.
Thing is some libertarians seem hopeful,about the future of liberty. I am not one of them. I don’t see much good in the future.
I’m kind of in the same boat. The enlightenment ideals are pretty much gone from serious discourse. The political ideologies battling for control of the world are socialism, fascism, and various flavors of theocracy.
Here’s the reason Individualism falls by the wayside – humans have a tendency to favor certainty over freedom.
Even the illusion of certainty is enough for most to give up their freedoms…
It’ll be tough but I think non insanity, probably not libertarianism though, will win out in the mid and long term. There’s already a backlash against these twats because people are sick of it. Corporations do need to grow some balls though.
I agree that people are getting sick of it. Corporations will be the last to figure that out, though. They’ll wait till they’re absolutely sure its safe to say “fuck off” to the social media twats.
Well if they ever dip more than their antifa toe into the river of violent confrontation I suspect we’ll see an end to the SJWs in very short order. It really is fun to watch people, so utterly helpless that they can be reduced to tears of panic at the thought that someone is expressing dissent, threaten violence.
I suspect we’ll see an end to the SJWs in very short order – I doubt it. They will all be in government soon. Or in corporate HR departments. And then you get fired for being libertarian.
“…fired for being libertarian”
it’s much more coded than that. the preferred language in HR hiring meetings is “does not believe in our core mission”.
My point was that if they kick off the revolution they want they will be dead. They may start a war but they won’t win one. Unfortunately neither will liberty.
But they’ll be in the HR departments of failing companies. The only thing you have to worry about is government bailing out these failures.
We’ll always have “The Hat and the Hair”.
“How the fuck did the most worthless category of society – social justice bullshit activists get so much power? ”
I think it’s the marketing departments’ fad of thinking that Facebook and Twitter are the future. That shit will be over in ten years as the next generation avoids the fads of the previous generation.

Nationally yeah, individual troops are all over the place. My wife, who was awarded the Gold Award (the GS equivalent of Eagle Scout) is being prevented from being a troop co leader because she refuses to stand for or say the pledge (for libertarian reasons even) and they feel other parents would be “uncomfortable” with that.
Not a great idea to piss off half the contributor base.
girls scouts demise continues apace.
If they want prog lite with actual fun stuff, they’ll move to the new coed BSA.
I got 8 free boxes of GS cookies yesterday from my brother. He got 4 cases for free from a friend. The friend manages a local chain restaurant and was at some warehouse making some sort of goodie basket for charity. The guy at the warehouse asked the friend if he wanted any GS cookies. Friend says yes. Guy says “how about a pallet?” Friend thought he was joking and said okay. Warehouse guy says, back your truck up to the loading dock. Sure as shit dropped a shrinkwrapped pallet of cookies in the bed of his truck.
The downside, they were all shitty flavors except for the Thin Mints

Well, the NY Post has officially given permission for you to cheat. Have at it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=D9FauQOXN90
War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Infidelity is fidelity.
If you have permission it ain’t cheating and this is nothing new. Tons of marriages exist solely because one or both partners is getting their sexual needs fulfilled on the side. One can argue whether they would be better off amicably dissolving their marriages but the reality is for a lot of people the marriage eventually reaches a point where it only works when there is some other outlet.
After finally getting Sunday liquor stores, the evil GOP is now talking about selling beer and wine in grocery stores. The monsters!
Best quote is from the mayor of one of the richest suburbs of Minneapolis:

“the red herring of convenience”
I want to buy my milk at the milk store. I want to buy my pasta at the pasta store. I want to buy my eggs at the egg store. I want to buy my salt at the salt store. I want to buy my Cheerios at the Cheerios store. I want to buy my carrots at the carrots store. I want to buy my egg rolls at the egg roll store. I want to buy my butter at the butter store. I want to buy my coffee at the coffee store.
Oh, so you’ve been shopping online then.
Shorter Mayor:
All your money belongs to us.
“Don’t let a love of market competitiveness or the red herring of convenience increase the tax burden on people who live in communities with municipal liquor operations.”
That is a sentence written by a sarcastic libertarian.
You people can’t buy wine and beer while you’re shopping for groceries? WTF? You poor 3rd-world bastards.

Although the grocer in my old neighborhood often had their liquor department taped off because they failed a vice cop sting.
I did not realize how boring Minnesoda was
Minnesota is a bizarre state. Everything just kinda seems to work out there. That enrages me
*shakes fist*
That’s because everyone stays inside because it’s cold.
The bizarre thing about Minnesota is that they have somehow brewed up a culture that has to stay indoors for most of 9 months a year – without fcuking their brains out.
Back in ’06 we had a series of 3 historic blizzards within about a 10 day period. There was (no shit) 6 feet of snow on the ground and the whole city shut down. 9 months later the news was reporting on a major statistical bump in births.
A lot of our ancestors came from cold places where you stayed indoors for 9 months a year, so it might have seemed like a wash. And being thousands of miles from the nearest fjord meant that you didn’t have any access to cod so you didn’t have to eat lutefisk every day.
Rand asks some more uncomfortable questions of Ms. Haspel.
The letter he sent is awfully specific. Maybe it’s time to shut the CIA and FBI down and try something else. Or fire everyone in management and rebuild. Anything is better than this fucking mess.
Maybe, Rand should take some cues from that lady at Horton’s and start flinging literal shit on the floor of the Senate.
If nothing else, Congress needs to do more of this simply to assert its authority.

I watched that Soho Forum debate on fractional reserve banking yesterday (Bob Murphy from Mises Institute was debating George Seglin from CATO). Despite the bland argumentation involved in banking policy, it was pretty good. Who doesn’t enjoy a good debate about fractional reserve banking?
But, Dave Smith’s opening comedy this time around was kind of vindictive and not as funny as usual. He went after CATO for some really in-the-beltway grievances that I’m sure made no sense to some of the people in the audience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQfQ3V3hsJw
https://www.facebook.com/Reason.Magazine/videos/10155627996444117/
The whole debate
Eh, I like seeing anybody call out Cato, even if it is a little vindictive. He’s a hardcore Mises Institute/Rothbardian so I’m not surprised. That being said I find that kind of ironic that he’s accusing them of stealing Rothbard’s intellectual property when he had some guy on his podcast a while ago claiming that intellectual property rights don’t exist because you can’t own ideas.
I know he’s a Mises Institute/ Rothbard guy and he doesn’t mind throwing shit at the CATO/ Koch side (his interview with Gillespie had some thinly veiled digs), but there is no way that everyone in that audience is even familiar with such a bizarre beef that scandalized all one hundred people who were paying attention to the fall out between Rothbard and the Kochs.
Nonetheless, Smith is generally hilarious and his podcast is good (even if you don’t learn anything from it)
“Don’t let a love of market competitiveness or the red herring of convenience increase the tax burden on people who live in communities with municipal liquor operations.”
Don’t let the red herring of freedom cloud your vision, Comrade. Throw off your shackles, and surrender yourself to the loving embrace of the State.
No comment on the media’s latest (non-Russian related) Trump freak-out that shows just how completely out of touch with most Americans they are?
During Roundtable, Trump Calls Some Unauthorized Immigrants ‘Animals’
I also love the left’s insistence on rebranding things that don’t sell to the public. We are now onto “unauthorized” immigration. How that’s any better than undocumented, I’ll never know. But some consultants definitely assured them it would poll better.
idiot becomes moron becomes retarded becomes developmentally disabled becomes special, because the words somehow, clearly due to evil white males, become insults. A rode by any other name would smell as sweet, and an idiot by any other name would drool as uncontrollably.
*rose dammit
Nope, it’s rode now. You said it yourself.
“A rode by any other name would smell as sweet”
TWSS.
Missing from the above is that it was a direct response to a discussion on ms-13 gang members coming into the country.
^^^This. It is a despicable lie of omission. Might as well be:
Trump: “I hate to say it, and I may be in the minority here, but I love the movie White Chicks. It’s just so funny, it kills me!”
CNN’s pull quote: “I hate […] minorit[ies]. I love [when] Whites kill [them].”
Don Lemon: “PROOF THAT TRUMP IS AN EVIL KLANSMAN HERE TO ETHNICALLY CLEANSE THE USA!!!”
The funny thing about all this is that there are so many legitimate things to nail Trump for. They’re just boring ones, so the progs feel the need to continuously invent bullshit that let’s them scream “YOU SEE? HE’S HISTORY’S GREATEST MONSTER!”
Crying about co-opting Bernie Sanders stance on trade or immigration probably isn’t in the cards for lefties.
They could at least start by criticizing his foreign policy that is still starving the people of Yemen and bombing Syria for lolz. That’s why I don’t understand people who are attracted to Democrats right now. Why? All they’re offering is bullshit culture war. If they were pushing against war like they did in 2006 I’d consider voting for them. But, they suck donkey balls right now.
There are more anti-war voices among Trumpists than there are in the opposition. Fuck them
Yeah, but the problem there is that those things you mentioned were started under Obama, and Trump would not hesitate to point this out as well as the previous silence of his critics.
” If they were pushing against war like they did in 2006″
But everybody knows they didn’t actually mean they wanted to stop the wars, they just wanted to be in charge of them. It’ll take a new generation to forget all the old campaign frauds. All they have left is culture war.
In case it has eluded you, that is his Modus Operandi. Fan the flames which his base reacts to. Make his opponents tilt at obvious windmills.
But, but, but.. they didn’t take it out of context. They merely expanded the discussion.
“We are now onto “unauthorized” immigration”
My favorite was “undocumented citizen”.
ORLY?
That one kinda grinded my gears. “Citizen” means something.
These are animals
Sounds bad until you get to:
illegal immigrant criminals, drug dealers, gang members and violent predators
It’s almost like context matters.
Almost.
Quoth the Iron Law:
Meaning comes from context.
We have a goodly number of squishy libs who really, really prefer the “undocumented” euphemism. I’ll have to see how quickly they start using the “unauthorized” euphemism.
We have a significant population of illegals in and out of the hospital every day, so it comes up a lot. Naturally, shitlord that I am, I insist on calling them either “illegal immigrants” or “illegals”. I do enjoy the discomfort this creates for the squishes.
I’m sure they’re still smug.

I’m not a businessman, so maybe I’m talking out of my ass, but I get the impression that most businesses operate on the premise that if you’re not expanding, you’re dead in the water. That should be doubly true of colleges, since they normally enjoy some insulation from the market and essentially vendor finance their product on the fed’s dime. So Evergreen isn’t just looking at a 20% cut in revenues, there’s probably a lot of inertia from spending commitments based on growth projections that are now invalid. When your forecast is an anemic 5% growth in enrollment and you suffer a 20% cut instead, that’s catastrophic. I guess what I’m saying is it couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of people.

Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action contacted Kent State to see if her actions violated the campus weapons policy. Watts is a cunt. But worse she’s a snitch.
“Moms Demand Action”
Any organization that will get thousands of porn site hits if you search their name I cannot take seriously (unless they’re a porn company I guess).
There’s a site called The Truth About Guns that also has a rather vibrant comments section. There was one guy who went by the name Dirk Diggler, and he became known for making hilarious pervy comments about Shannon Watts wherein he volunteered to give her the action that she so fervently demanded.
The site admins eventually made a post saying that gun control advocates are taking screenshots of posts that appear racist, sexist, or otherwise distasteful and using them as propaganda against the whole gun community, so such comments would no longer be allowed. Dirk Diggler was specifically called out in the post and told that his lascivious comments must stop… So ended an era.

My car was burglarized last night. I am usually pretty good about locking it and everything else. So idk how it ended up unlocked. Luckily they only went into the center console and the only thing missing was a 12 y.o. ipod. I do need to figure out what happened about the car being unlocked. It is possible that it failed to trigger in the first place. It is a 2015 Civic with both a remote and sensor unlock and button lock on the door handle. If I had accidentally unlocked it with the remote, I believe it should have auto re-locked after 30s with the door unopened. Also, I usually look out to check to see that the security light is blinking before going to bed. Idk what happened. Either way, someone got into it. So I’m now in the market for a surveillance system to monitor the driveway & front/rear porch/deck/entrances of the house. Looking for something relatively inexpensive but sufficient and reliable. Any suggestions?
Get a Ring camera(s). You can also replace your doorbell with a Ring video doorbell to monitor your front porch.
I spent a lot of time researching various camera systems and found nothing comes close to Ring in terms of quality, accessibility platform (via your cellphone), and customer support for that price point. I have been very satisfied with mine and plan on expanding. They will alert you whenever motion is detected and then begin recording. You can also use two-way audio to talk to whoever is there.
Arlos are also good but have non-existent customer support. I have a couple inside my house that stay unplugged and covered when I’m home, but roll when the kids are alone with a sitter or we’re away. The Ring outside cameras are much better.
I’ll note that part of the cost for cameras like the Ring and Arlos is the interface and off-site cloud storage. You can buy less expensive IP cameras and then set up your own interface and storage. I decided that route wasn’t worth it for me and I would rather pay for a ‘plug and play’ system and let someone else deal with the IT and storage. But that is another good option if you want to set it up yourself.
Grab a coupon code from basically any conservative podcaster, too.
I like the doorbell cam. The other surveillance ones seem kinda pricey though.
I’ve heard a lot of positive reviews of the “Ring” brand of security products and they look like they have a pretty high rating on Amazon, but I have no direct experience with them.
Sorry your car got broken into to, that sucks.
By way of making this all about me, I had my Integra stolen from the parking lot at work 6 or 8 years ago. And the place I work is safe as shit, stuff like that just doesn’t happen. Now every time I walk out in to the park lot and can’t immediately spot my car I have that sinking feeling that it’s been stolen, and then the rational feeling that I always think that and it never really happens, and then the sinking feeling that oh yeah, it did actually happen.
Beaten to the punch, and by a semi-spartan of all things.
Our neighborhood has had a spate of car burglaries in the last week. Fortunately, I have nothing worth stealing.
There have been a spate of burglaries in my neighborhood, which is a little unusual because while we’re in the city and there’s a crime-heavy public housing complex right next to us, we’re effectively a large cul-de-sac and everyone knows everyone else. In our case, I think having big, scary-looking and sounding dogs that bark whenever anybody gets near the house is a big help. Mind you, unless you’re a medium-haired black dog the limit of their aggressive behavior is to sit in front of you and bark frantically, but nobody else knows that.
Cameras are fine, but this is better.
I’ve got Arlo cameras. Love the indoor/outdoor ability, the cell phone interface, wireless and instant installation. I can move them around at will, even outside.

Jeff Bezos: history’s greatest monster.
Seattle’s brawl over a proposed head tax is missing some key historical context.
A major reason we’re now scrapping over a Seattle head tax to fund affordable housing and homelessness services is that Washington State’s tax system is badly broken, and has been for a very long time. This state has regularly been declared to have the most regressive tax system in America, and that’s largely because Washington State has no income tax.
Why don’t we have an income tax?
In part, it’s because Jeff Bezos didn’t want us to have one. Back in 2010, Bezos—along with other local tech leaders like Steve Ballmer and Paul Allen—donated big money to ensure the defeat of a statewide initiative to tax just the income of Washington’s wealthiest individuals.
The defeat of the high-earners income tax forced Washington State to continue relying on its regressive sales tax, as well as the property tax, in order to fund human services and fix, under court order, our state’s woefully under-funded public education system.
Is there anyone who doesn’t think that more state funding for social services and education over the last eight years could have helped alleviate some of the homelessness crisis we now face in Seattle (a crisis that includes rising rates of public school students who are homeless)?
More destructive than the hydrogen bomb. He’s stealing beds right out from under Seattle’s precious little children. Taking food out of the mouths of state welfare bureaucrats.
Using his influence to prevent more of his money from being stolen is literally worse than genocide.
But, remember, Bezos was doing God’s work when Trump talked about subsidies that Amazon receives through the post office
You got to keep up with the narrative if you want to be a woketarian
regressive sales tax, as well as the property tax
Sales taxes are probably the least regressive tax I can think of. Income and property taxes are the most regressive. Property in particular because I can never actually own my property if the government can levy a tax on it simply because it exists.
because Jeff Bezos didn’t want us to have one
Fuck off. I’m pretty sure cities are not allowed to levy income taxes.
Fuck off. I’m pretty sure cities are not allowed to levy income taxes.
I can’t speak for Washington State, but there is certainly not rule against municipal income taxes in general.
NYC would like a word.
This is nice:
My father had to pay NYC income tax – he worked in Queens for CUNY. We lived over an hour away. FYTW.
And JFC – NYC tax is 3.9%
Louisville/Jefferson Co had an employment tax 2.2% of gross if you lived in the county, 1.45% if you lived outside and worked in it.
Bowling Green/Warren Co is similar but lower, 1.9% (It would be a bit more if I lived in the city, but the county school tax is lower).
Is there anyone who doesn’t think that more state funding for social services and education over the last eight years could have helped alleviate some of the homelessness crisis we now face in Seattle (a crisis that includes rising rates of public school students who are homeless)?
If there was, would you listen to them?
Is there anyone who doesn’t think that more state funding for social services and education over the last eight years could have helped alleviate some of the homelessness crisis we now face in Seattle
*raises hand*
Anecdotally, it seems the more that a city spends on its homeless, the more of them it has. Its almost like your get more of something you subsidize.
There oughta be a law.
Go ahead, pass that income tax. Push people in the Spokane valley to CDA and SW Washington to Oregon.

Denver Public Schools said in a statement that Department of Safety Chief Michael Eaton, “recognizing the conflicting information but acknowledging the risk that there could be an armed student on campus, allowed DPD to search the classrooms.”

Sales taxes are probably the least regressive tax I can think of.
Rich people spend a lot more money than poor people, but somehow those economic wizards are oblivious to that.
“Regressive” just means poor people are on the hook for anything at all.
It’s particularly progressive if you are only taxing new products, rather than used ones. That sort of change would cause significant second and third order effects in the economy that would be hard to project far into the future. The value of used items would almost certainly go up, considering they wouldn’t be subject to tax. There would likely be more emphasis on producing products that last longer, rather than a lot of the disposable shit that is produced now. The production of higher quality new products would probably cause that production to come back to the US from China, where most of the disposable shit is now made. There would be even more action on the Ebay type platforms for trading used products than there is now.
There are probably many negatives that would come about as well, like less demand for new products, and those new products being much more expensive. It would probably hurt the building of new homes as they would become much more expensive, assuming the tax applied there. Progs would complain about new products being the accessible only to the rich, rather than seeing that the rich are paying an early adopter tax to make those same products available to the poor later. You can argue most things from either side depending on your point of view.
And add in the fact that most sales tax rates are lower for necessities like food and higher for things like cigarettes, soda, etc., making sales taxes rather progressive.
By opposing the 2010 statewide income tax on high earners, which could have brought in $2 billion a year to fund education and social services, Amazon’s CEO helped cost the State of Washington $16 billion.
By the end of this year, that $16 billion would have been spent on programs that effectively work to prevent Washingtonians from becoming homeless in the first place.
Fucking magical thinking- how does it work?
Those fabulously wealthy people would never establish residency in another state!

Sorry to hear that. I just had a 3 year skid and found a new position/new industry last September… and I’m almost 60. The job market is a constantly morphing beast – you never know when some seemingly random set of skills/experiences become a new opportunity. I would never have imagined that my unrelated, tangential-at-best Army Reserve career would be the base for a new professional career.

Actually, just the fact that I have been in the military for 20 years was enough connection to tie in with a number of other skills to make me the right guy for this position.

Comment on that Bezos piece:
I’ll never understand why the people at the top of our national pyramid scheme have nothing but loathing and hatred for the society that made them rich in the first place.
It’s a good reminder that the only two forces in this country that are real are the insatiable greed of the 1% and the psychopathic racism that they exploit to stay in power.
It must be hard to sustain that sort of hatred and anger in one’s daily life. I don’t see how somebody like that can put one foot in front of the other by the end of the day.
Answer: they generally don’t have loathing and hatred for the people who actually made them rich, i.e., their customers.
In reality, this person should be on xir knees offering to suck Bezos’ cock all day. Amazon has objectively made the world a better place and he deserves every damn penny he’s made from it. What has this commenter done?
The funny part is, Amazon has made very little (if anything) from the part of the company that most people are familiar.

I spent some time in juvenile prison in northern VA. There was a sizable MS 13 population there. There was a kid in there with me named Tovias Prudencio. He was in the shit with MS 13. Due to odd racial alliances, We white boys and the Hispanics were in a team to protect ourselves from the blacks.
Tovias’ nickname was “no mas manos” because he had stolen from MS 13. He was released from prison and a few months later, we all got to read in the Richmond Times about him having his hands cut off.
Good times
Me and you had very different childhoods, Lach.
Same. Yikes.
There are many paths to Glibertarianism. Mine started at age 15. Spending 3 years in prison because the VA state police decided to shoot your buddy and claim that you and him were complicit in a “conspiracy to commit capital murder” absent any evidence is a good way to get a young man to distrust state power.
Dayum, Lach.
I am incredibly grateful that I grew up in a small town in Texas in the ’60s and ’70s. Pretty much an ideal childhood – we roamed as kids in semi-feral packs, and as teenagers getting in trouble the cop ethos was still more along the “protect and serve” line than the “law and order” line, meaning we got let off with warnings for stuff that we could have easily been arrested for, because they knew it was mischief and teenage boys being teenage boys. Plus, I suspect, they knew our parents could be relied on to drop the hammer on us if we really started getting out of line.
That makes my path via early exposure to P. J. O’Rourke super lame by comparison (though “Parliament of Whores” should be required reading).
My path was basically
CS Lewis->PJ ORourke->Ayn Rand->Liberty Magazine->Reason H&R->here
Lewis exposure was in college (except Narnia, but not sure that counts).
Mine is weird:
Pat Buchanan’s book “A Republic, Not An Empire”-> Ron Paul-> Mises Institute-> Liberty Magazine-> Reason-> H&R-> Drugs
I learned it from watching you, alright

My chain of media is actually very short. My ideology is still socon and fiscal conservative. The website chain had entirely to do with looking at the hoops erected for obtaining a pistol in New York followed by the “SAFE” act sending me looking for people with a similar stance on the right to bear arms – which landed me at H&R.
My contempt of letting government run things comes from a decade of working in it.
My path is pretty boring. My Mom was a fundamentalist so con, my Dad was a deist hard core conservative. I was raised as hardline conservative Bircherite as it is possible to find. As I grew up I recognized that some of the things I had been taught made sense and fit with what I observed in the world and other things seemed much more like personal prejudices elevated to dogma. When I examined the two categories more it became really clear to me that the distinction was this:
The conservative positions on economics, personal responsibility, and defense of the nation from totalitarianism made sense, they were grounded in real world facts, and did not involve forcing anyone to act against their will. And the conservatives I saw tended to practice what they preached.
The conservative positions on sexual behavior, drug use, gambling and other personal vices were a mixed bag, some of the ‘preferred’ courses made sense, but enforcement clearly meant forcing people to act against their will, and the people pushing the viewpoint often exempted their preferred vices. e.g People who bragged about all the women they had scored, but hated ‘fags’ for their sinful lives. Hard drinkers who were all in on drug prohibition. Guys who had a weekly poker game but supported bans on gambling.
Add a little Locke, Jefferson and Rand and voila libertarian.
I became a libertarian to meet chicks.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was actually a literal card-carrying communist when I was younger. I still thought that guns were really cool though, so I bought one. I sort of forgot about politics (I let my CPUSA membership lapse) until I heard about gun control efforts, then I joined the NRA. While their political publications may be kind of dumb, it did wake me up to the fact that the American Left is hostile to Constitutional rights.
When the 2008 election rolled around, I somehow heard about Ron Paul and got interested in his ideas. When I mentioned that to my “progressive” family members who were solid Obama devotees, they said, “but Ron Paul basically wants to dismantle the federal government!” That statement only made my liberty-boner that much harder.
I discovered The Other Site in the post-Newtown period when there was a very real possibility of more gun control, and the comments of you crazy bastards introduced me to names like Mises, Hayek, Bastiat, and Rothbard, and it was all downhill from there.
Damn. That’s a hell of a story. Also, I didn’t mean to knock your story.
My wife had a good friend from elementary school spend most of her middle-school and high school years in juvie. She was convicted of murder… of an infant. She was babysitting the victim. Basically, the parents convinced the cops that the marks on the baby showing chronic abuse were the fault of the 11 year old girl they’d hired to baby sit the infant and not from the parents. No siree!
After she turned 18, she was released, and my wife ran into her. The young woman was surprisingly well adjusted. She explained that it was her christian faith that sustained her through the ordeal. She was the daughter of a pastor. Her parents and extended family stood by her and visited her a couple of times a week. In the end she came out OK, and my IIRC the story correctly got married young and started her own family, and has been living a nice life since.
The parents, OTOH, got into more trouble, and eventually it dawned on many in the community it was likely them hurting their baby.

From Q’s link, above:
Acknowledging that “Evergreen can no longer be considered a ‘selective’ college in terms of admission” because it currently accepts about 95 percent of all applicants, the report also points out that the percentage of students of color on campus continues to edge upward despite the decrease in overall enrollment.
Notably, it also cites a survey showing that 60 percent of first-year, four-year students who enrolled at Evergreen State in Fall 2017 “identified themselves as LGBTQIA.”
“Dad, I want to go to Evergreen.”
“Not with my money.”

Isn’t this the result they wanted? An enclave of oppressed minorities free from the toxic presence of cis-hetero white people? Honestly, this should be a mission accomplished moment for them, especially since being “selective” based on “achievement” is just perpetuating oppressive patriarchal norms. So what are they complaining about?
When you no longer have a captive population of guilty whites on which to take out your existential anguish, what are you gonna do? Go to class?
how stupid do the rejected 5% feel?
They’re all white cis-hetero males; test scores and grades are irrelevant.

Remember, one of the main reasons we like diversity in thought is that through the vehicle of debate, we can achieve the end goal of better societal outcomes.
it’s always about the society with these people.
Its always about pretending you want to help others while basically figuring out a way to milk the system without having to be productive.
here’s an excerpt from something else she wrote:
It is perfectly justifiable that these Asian-American students are discriminated against in order to promote the ideals of affirmative action, such as for diversity and leveling the playing field for disadvantaged minorities. However, what is not justifiable — and in fact unconstitutional — is that they are held to a higher standard than white students, which achieves none of the goals of affirmative action.
http://www.thedp.com/article/2017/12/lucy-hu-unconstitutional-to-prefer-white-students-to-asian-students
the whole flimsy SJW movement is predicated on minorities being disadvantaged purely because of the color of their skin. and yet here she is advocating that Asian minorities be penalized.
