Pretty soon no one will even know what that graphic means.
The manual transmission’s fire has gone out of the universe. Stupid paddle box.
Once I rented a stick shift car in France and had to read the manual to learn how to switch into reverse.
French car? They were all reverse!
Back in the day I owned a Renault. Good lord what a sad and unreliable bucket of bolts that car was.
I’ll see your Renault and raise you a 1979 Peugeot 504 diesel.
*shudders*
I can imagine. I wouldn’t mind having one of the old classic Citroens but that’s the only French car I’d ever consider owning.
You strike me as a Bugatti kind of guy.
Ive been playing grand turismo sport lately and damn is it hard to win a race against the Bugatti Veyron. I could buy one myself, but I really like racing my 427 Cobra.
“damn is it hard to win a race against the Bugatti Veyron”
Well what kind of weapons do you have to kill the other driver or blow up his car?
I’m not real clear on how non-murder based video games work
You can run them off the road, but that isn’t strictly cricket.

Yup. All those car names translated are different variations of the verb “to bugger”.
What it push in left and up? I thinks that’s how it was on my dad’s beetle.
There’s a ring on the stick that you need to lift to be able to shift into R. I didn’t even see the ring before I read about it.
Volvo?
Renault, I believe.
Volvos had the same thing. The two companies used to collaborate. They made a really shitty V6 that ended up in the Delorean.
I’ve never seen that one.
My fathers 2011 Subaru Legacy has the ring you have to pull up. First time I encountered this method was a Porsche and it stumped me for a while until I really started looking around.
I recall having a WRX, probably @ late ’90s, that shifted like a normal car, even into reverse. That thing was a little rocket – what a blast to drive. All wheel drive, boxster engine, stick, just . . . fun.
Unfortunately, the air conditioner sucked balls, so we traded it in when we moved to Texas. Of course, the Dodge we got instead had that UAW build quality, and its air conditioner sucked balls also, along with other electrical problems.
Left and up is how my 2007 Toyota FJ is configured.
I was looking to buy my first truck and found an old beater that was ‘Three on the tree’ the guy selling and my dad had a good laugh at the dumb kid looking for the gear stick.

Yep – Even in NJ traffic I drive a manual. My wife’s car has the paddles – hate them and rarely use except to slow down on a hill sometimes.

Futility — I just emailed Senator Grassley’s office and said the Republican’s will never pass another conservative to SCOTUS if they let Kavanaugh get derailed. I got the standard auto response back.
Generally, this doesn’t help, but they do count how many people push for a given outcome.
So doing my part to push my senator in the right direction.
“So doing my part to push my senator in the right direction”
Off a cliff?
That would be my two senators.
Funny how I immediately thought “Schumer” and “the other one”.
I bet most of us did our own mental substitutions.
I’m not proud of Chuckles.
But, I’m not ashamed either.
I’m proud of Grassley – he voted against the omnibus spending bill and certainly has kept the Kavanaugh train rolling.
If they let the far left swift boat (rape boat?) this nomination, then what is the point of even being a republican? Just throw in the towel already.
They are caving in to the Dem’s base. Think about that for a minute.
I’ve got Bill Nelson, but skeletor is taking a run at his seat, so we will see.
I have Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth as my two Senators…..so an email would do dick.
(No pun intended)
Our Senators get dumber every new one that gets in. I can only imagine the moron that will replace that idiot Durbin.
Lisa Madigan. I think if Durbin ever decides to retire, it’s gonna be her running for his seat.
:: shudders ::
Mine are Flake and that guy who replaced McCain. I think that guy knows he’s in DC to do one thing: vote for Kavanaugh. I should probably drop an email steamer on Flake.
You misspelled “Cleveland”.
Unfortunately, Flake has them all by the short and curlies
France wants sanctions against the militias they created when they and the Brits talked those idiot Americans into destroying Libya.
Yeah, I’m waiting for us to get pulled in there. Whee!
Before the bombing of Libya, Italy worried that the ouster of Qaddafi would make things in Libya even worse and would lead to a deluge of migrants and a base for radical Islam in north Africa. The Economist mocked Italy’s concerns.
The Economist loves war and hates common sense
And Italy had to go make a deal with Libya (essentially) behind the EU’s back and the results were immediate. Less ‘economic migrants’. Those scare quotes are for Suthenboy.
My apologies. I am slow sometimes.
Ok, I am slow most of the time, but I always get it eventually.

So what exactly does SiriusXM get out of the Pandora deal? Music licenses? Subscribers?
I had dropped SiriusXM as being expensive and crappy. I love my Pandora – they better not screw it up.
SiriusXM is a better experience for me in the car. I can listen on my phone while at the gym too.
^This. With my 1 hour drive each way, SXM is well worth the money I pay for it. I’m new, so I haven’t had to spend more than $5/month for it yet. I got the first 3 months free, $30 for 6 months after that.
I’ve been told if you threaten to cancel every time your subscription is up, they will give you the 6 months for $30 deal again. We’ll see in about 4 months. A guy at work said he, his brother, and his wife have never paid more than $5/month. The longest subscribed of them was about 3 years.
I shit-canned SXM after they fired Anthony Cumia for being Anthony Cumia.
#metoo
Hm.. my 3 month trial expires in a few days, I’m only seeing a $50 deal for six months.
Regarding the calling each time, reminds me of cable companies. I’m due to call them and threaten to cancel again.
“Hi yeah I would I like to cancel my cable internet, Spectrum is offering a really good deal right now and I want to switch …. What’s that? You’ll offer me a monthly discount that expires in 1 year to stay. Great, talk to you in 12 months!”
They offered it just days after I got my vehicle. We had it in my wife’s vehicle already and I knew I wanted it so I jumped on it.
SiriusXM is great for long drives.
One competitor down.
A cheaper distribution platform. Satellites are expensive.
My XM radio subscription costs more than my Netflix subscription.
Why would they need pandora for that. I can already listen to XM over the Internet.
I have to call and “cancel” the SiriusXM subscription every year to keep the rate low enough.
Yes – They are a pain in the ass with that crap. Which is why I would rather listen to an occasional ad on Pandora for free. And my car has the app built into the radio system.
But you can’t get Netflix in your car. (Unless it’s being delivered by satellite)
The a la carte is only 12$ and who really needs more than 50 channels?
I have 18 preset, but yeah, 50 is probably good enough. I wish pioneer would get with the times and allow unlimited presets.
Both, maybe. They might offer a bundling thing.
I actually just let my XM sub lapse. I just use Spotify in the car now. Maybe that’s becoming more common.
Pandora has never made a dime but they are being purchased for $3.5B. Unreal.
We came. We saw. He died.

Yep. That’s how it’s done.

good. i was hoping he had a backbone.
I saw that on my Twitter and some of the responses from the Left was basically: “How dare he not apologize or acknowledge her claims?!”
Good on him for defending himself and his reputation. I thought he might have taken the mealy mouthed approach but he’s probably smart enough to know that it won’t satiate their desire to destroy him.

I’d love to be optimistic about the results of another Trump – Kim meeting, but I’m not. After what happened in Libya, getting dictators to give up nuclear weapons (or other WMDs) is going to be an uphill battle.

As long as Kim doesn’t start messing around with an alternative currency, he should be fine.
I wonder where all that gold got to.
That’s some fine crazy right there.

Oh well if Mia Farrow says he needs to resign….
Mia Farrow actually can’t get any crazier
Her son is the one who wrote that piece in the New Yorker.
“Journalist Ronan Farrow claimed congressional Democrats went looking for a second accuser to come forward against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and said they’ve put the woman in an awkward position and have forced her to publicly come forward.
“She did not flag this for those Democrats. This came to the attention of people on the Hill independently and it’s really cornered her into an awkward position,” he said. “She said, point-blank, I don’t want to ruin anyone’s life, but she feels this is a serious claim. She considers her own memories credible and she felt it was important that she tell her story before others did without her consent.””

I was listening to the local drive time talk radio. They are sort of mushy-middle-of-the-right wing for the PNW kind of radio, but the morning show is usually pretty down the middle and apolitical. But they had their weekly politics call with a local professor who opined that if the GOP votes on Kavanaugh and confirms him that will turn the blue wave into a tsunami. No wonder the guy teaches at one of the 3rd rate schools.
Thank you Mojeaux I enjoyed that and feel encouraged by it.
🙂 I feel cautiously hopeful, as well. I will admit this is the first time I can remember actually praying for a desired political outcome, likely because there is so much at stake that has nothing to do with the seat itself.

Woo hoo! Dan Carlin has a new one of his shorter podcasts out today about the sinking of the Indianapolis. He also just released a 4+ hour one centered around Japan and the build up to WWII.
4 hours? I like history and even have a degree somewhere to prove it….but….4 hours?
They’re awesome. His series on World War I was terrific, all 20 or so hours of it.
You don’t technically need to listen all at once.
I know. I was being a dick. I’ve listened to Carlin in the past.
And I was just busting your balls. Hockey next week. Red Wings may actually have to decide about cutting players. Veleno sent back to Drummondville. Mark my words, he is going to be the steal and stud of this draft.
Shoot. Forgot to respond. He’s looking good in pre-season?
He’s good stuff. I’m relistening to his never-ending series on WWI right now. It makes household chores enjoyable.
Or what Chipwooder said.
I often listen to his clips on my commute.
Yeah, but now I can read a history book except in “Dan Carlin voice”.
Sweet, he’s a great storyteller. I just wish he had more frequent content.

Triple H is always good for some solid insight alongside some batshit insanity. Might give it a listen.
Besides his Hoppe interview, though (of whom I must admit I’ve never really read beyond some old articles at Liberty magazine), Malice puts on an excellent and thought provoking show. His interview of Stephen Kinsella was great
Just wait ’till he brings out the sledgehammer. It’ll be a real slobberknocker.

Quote of the day:
“Turd Flinging Monkey
6 days ago
The only reason I wasn’t aborted was because my mom used me to get child support from my dad and welfare from the state. She spend as little as she could on me, and spent most of it on herself, even feeding me food she pulled out of dumpsters in order to keep more money for herself.
When I was 13 my mom abandoned me because the state paid less welfare to teenagers than to smaller children. Just for context, I served two tours in Iraq and never got PTSD, but being abandoned by my mother messed me up and caused me to develop false memories to shield myself from the pain. Even to this day I choke up and get misty eyed when I think about it, and that event happened before some of the people reading this were even born.
I went to go live with my Dad after staying with my grandparents, but my step-mom hated me no matter what I did. I didn’t look like her, and she was ashamed to be seen with me because I looked like my mom. My dad chose his wife over me, never stood up to her, and didn’t even try to mediate for me. He just let her openly hate me when all I needed was someone to love me, and I tried so hard to have a home.
I went to go live with my grandparents again while I finished High School. I watched my grandfather die of cancer in front of me, he was the only male role-model I had any respect for, and that bar wasn’t even all that high. My grandma went crazy without him because he didn’t have life insurance, and she didn’t have anyone to take care of her anymore.
I tried turning to religion and God for some sense of belonging, but I had a girlfriend falsely accuse me of rape, and I lost nearly all my friends even after she confessed she made it up. Everyone in the church turned on me, and said that I needed to repent for something I didn’t do. I got tired of their whispers and stares, and stopped going to church.
I maintained a good relationship with my grandma, but years later, after I joined the military, she scammed me out of money, so we don’t talk anymore either.
I tried finding a NAWALT that would love me and give me the family that was denied me as a child, but they always cheated on me.

Moj – Question:
Do you have a son? If not, nevermind.
If so, what’s your feeling about the world he is entering? How would you try to prepare him?
With some thyme and sage advice…..
I have 3 sons, and by the time they’re old enough for this to be an issue, things will have swung back around in the other direction.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htETnX9p__I
It’s been going in the current direction since the late 70’s.
I have a son, yes. He’s 12-1/2. In a way, I’m not worried about him because he’s a little strange and I’m not sure he’s going to end up liking girls anyway. In another way, one reason I stay in my church is because Mormons worship at the altar of propriety and I want to give him the edge of being schooled that way. In a third way, I do plan to give him the “watch out for yourself and cover your ass” speech. And lastly, he’s far more interested in making money and hoarding shit than girls.
Honestly, though, with him, we’ve got bigger problems than worrying about what might or might not happen with some random girl in a nebulous future.
Maybe he’ll learn to hoard girls.
Not sure he could find a girl who’d put up with his bullshit.
If he hoards enough money, the girls will find him.
You asked her, but I’ll answer too. My kid is right in the belly of the beast and it completely sucks. When I was his age things were so much fun. It bothers me how the psychos have ruined it.
We’ve been talking for years now about the consequences of choosing the wrong chick. Also, he’s seen some bad shit already among family and friends, so is automatically more cautious.
All you can do is give them as much information as possible and be ready to go scorched earth if the powers fuck with him.

Am I missing something here?
Yeah, I’m not going to read past the title. If they said “Can an open relationship save your marriage”, okay.
Would their wife
In general while it may be more of a hurdle to get them to consider it women typically get more benefit out of open relationships and adapt to them much better than men. With 25+ years in non monogamous communities I have known at least peripherally more than a dozen couples who began as monogamous, opened their relationships up and then either broke up or retreated back to monogamy and in nearly every one of those cases it was the man driving the switch to an open marriage and in every case but one it was the man who in the ended decided he wanted to close the relationship.

I drove past the local University yesterday. It was sorority bid day. I have never seen quite so many fat young women in one place. It was pretty sad. We’re not talking slightly overweight here, almost all of them were either clinically obese or headed that way.
So sad…one of my fondest memories was the day after my parents dropped me off in Norman. I had a free day before rush week started for fraternities, and I was wandering around campus, trying to orient myself. It was the first day of sorority rush, and there were large groups (20-30 girls) going from house to house. I nearly broke my neck whipping my head around to stare.
Sororities from my University (almost 20 years ago now, probably eliminated to protect the 5 out of 4 women that are raped).

My wife had this to say about ΔΔΔ at her school.
“Their slogan was ‘Delta, Delta, Delta; can we help ya, help ya, help ya?'”
Don’t quote me on this, but I think that’s an SNL skit.
It was, but it may not have been original to it.
Some of those look familiar 😉 Though at OU, it was “Tri Delt – everyone else has!” And we had Chi Hos, and Almost Chi Hos. Oh, and we were right across the street from the All For Free house (Phi doesn’t rhyme with pie the way they say it – not sure if that’s proper Greek, or just a local thing).
Wait, you were Sigma Nu?

FTA:
“Before she met her husband, Beth was a free spirit floating through no-strings-attached hookups with a circle of male friends. In the early years of her marriage, she accepted that her days of untethered intimacy were over. The memories tugged at her sometimes, but her love for her husband and children always pulled more strongly. Sacrificing that youthful pleasure was worth what she’d gained in her new life. Besides, as a married woman, she had made a commitment to stay faithful to her husband. And that was that.
Or so she thought, at least at first.”
Dad: Kids, your mom and I have decided to see other people outside our marriage. Primarily because your mom can’t let her whorish past go
“hookups with a circle of male friends.”
A…. ahem…. a circle?
What kind of jerks would be into that?
Sounds like a sticky situation.
Don’t eat the cracker.
Unless you spluge on a premium brand.
A viscous cycle?
The whole “swinger” lifestyle is one of those things that I find repugnant but support the right of others to enjoy… But if you take up that kind of stuff when you have kids, I think that’s verging into seriously bad parenting.
Akira: saw your question about hotel front desk last night. I worked a desk for 18 months at the start of grad school, mostly second shift, but some third. Really wasn’t for me: I don’t have a lot of patience for selfish asses, people who are the 200th person to ask an obvious question, or stupid people. That said, third shift is pretty quiet although you do tend to get the top-of-the-line assholes at night. As someone said, you’re also the cleaning and maintenance crew – although we had someone on call we could contact 24/7. You’ll have a few check-ins at night and probably a minor rush of check outs in the morning (1st shift normally starts at 7am). The check ins can be a problem because if, as most hotels do, you’re oversold, you’re going to get people who don’t get the room type or location (in the building) they thought. And, if you’re out of rooms, you’re usually the one who has to find them somewhere else to stay. Other than that, you’re doing all the audit work: I would imagine these days it’s all computerized but it’s still a lot of shit. That said, there is a lot of down time and, if you adjust your sleep cycle you’ll get work done. Oh, and pay tends to be close to minimum.
But if you take up that kind of stuff when you have kids, I think that’s verging into seriously bad parenting.
To quibble, swinging and ethical non-monogamy are different things, but assuming you’re including both under this umbrella are you willing to explain your reasoning or is this simply an extension of your repulsion to the idea?
I figure if mutual sleeping around (whatever flavor that may take) is what’s required to save the marriage, it’s better than divorce, broken home, instability, financial problems etc.
Yeah I was wondering the same thing.
In general unless you are having sex in the living room when the kids are home and watching I can’t really see how there is any connection between your sex live and parenting
I think the editor missed where it should have been “Marriage” instead of “Monogamy” in the headline…
Fuck this. Setting aside relationships that are entered specifically as open relationships for the moment, this is a defacto de-escalation of the relationship from spouse to primary fuck buddy. Just go the rest of the way, get a divorce, and have an ex night every once in a while.
Gee I was unaware that people typically commingled finances with their fuckbuddies, or entered into major long term financial obligations with them, or carried defacto medical power of atty over them, or raised children with them, or routinely lived with and shared a bed with even when not fucking them, and a thousand other things that differentiate a spouse from a fuckbuddy.
If you think the only thing which makes a marriage a special and unique relationship is who you get to fuck then you are the one with the fucked up views and not the people who are opening their marriage to other people.

Sorry that a traditional view of marriage is so triggering.
Gee I was unaware that people typically commingled finances with their fuckbuddies
Happens all the time. Also, joint finances are becoming increasing rare, especially outside of the traditional marriage model.
or entered into major long term financial obligations with them
I know people all the time who are boku fucked because they have a mortgage with their ex-boyfriend /girlfriend. Stupid idea, but ever more popular with passing time.
or carried defacto medical power of atty over them
It’s as easy as a notarized paper. Plenty of people give their medical power of attorney to siblings, friends, neighbors, or other trusted relations.
or raised children with them
You can raise children with fuck buddies. The pregnancy trap is a trap for a reason.
or routinely lived with and shared a bed with even when not fucking them, and a thousand other things that differentiate a spouse from a fuckbuddy.
Maybe I should’ve said “glorified fuck buddy” to highlight the hyperbole I used. However, I’m not trying to say that marriage is meaningless. I’m saying that the important parts of marriage have nothing to do with accounting or where you sleep.
No you are saying the ONLY important part of it is who you get to fuck. You outright said, not once but twice that in essence there is nothing more than a fuckbuddy relationship left when you open your marriage. Fuckbuddies do not even rise to the level of boyfriend/girlfriend they range from casual acquaintences to actual friends you occasionally fuck. If that is all that is left once the monogamy is removed then I am sorry but your marriage was a fucking sham to begin with.
No you are saying the ONLY important part of it is who you get to fuck
Yeah, keep telling me what I think. That isn’t a shitty way to discuss this at all.
To restate my position, monogamy is a behavior that is highly correlated to what actually matters, sacrificial love. “Fixing” an ailing marriage by reducing the sacrificial love may make things temporarily superficially better due to the novelty of it, but long term it erodes what’s left of the relationship. Any move in the direction of “me me me” at the expense of “us us us” is further erosion of the foundation.
The only reason im singling out monogamy is because of the article, but there are plenty of selfish behaviors pushed by self-help hucksters that pull people in the “me me me” direction.
As I mentioned before, I’m specifically talking about a struggling monogamous marriage being opened, not about an open relationship in the first place.
Also, to be clear, I think that most of the “marriage is founded on shared experiences” argument is bullshit.
Maybe I should’ve said “glorified fuck buddy” to highlight the hyperbole I used. However, I’m not trying to say that marriage is meaningless. I’m saying that the important parts of marriage have nothing to do with accounting or where you sleep.
I can understand someone who places a high value on sex, and sees it as profound or spiritually significant and therefore wants to maintain exclusivity for those reasons. Likewise, I have a friend whose wife decided they should open the relationship but he was not sanguine about the prospect and I suggested that he tell her that her options were monogamy or divorce as those were the grounds they entered the marriage under. So a one sided opening, I agree, indeed, fuck that.
People grow and change though. And perhaps all the important aspects of a marriage stay the same; the emotional closeness, the shared struggles, family, finances, etc. Removing sexual exclusivity while staying together isn’t denigrating all those other things, necessarily. It can be a way of recognizing them and deciding they are worth keeping.
I don’t know, there’s a bunch to this topic but I thin you are setting up a false dichotomy.
Actually that is NOT a traditional view of marriage.
Yes, one person till death do us part was but that was just the snowball on the tip of the iceberg for all that is included in a traditional OR a non traditional view of marriage and you are acting like the snowball is the only part that matters.
THIS
trshmnstr: It’s important to stick to your vows and be faithful to your spouse. If you can’t do that, I question your ability to make other marital sacrifices.

Why are PDFs so PDFing fickle? I’ll be bouncing back and forth between two pages and the document just “forgets” all the content on one or the other page. It’s completely blank until I reopen the file.
My guess? Adobe.
Adobe is one of those companies that make Microsoft and Oracle look like they know what they’re doing.
True – Microsoft usually gets it good enough by the third release. Oracle? I think they’re still coasting on ancient legacy and acquisitions more than quality.
So much this. Their software is absolute garbage and they don’t give a shit about it. Adobe Digital Editions, in particular, can eat a bag of dicks.
Are you actually looking at them in Adobe, or are you using your browser (which re-opens an adobe extension each time you flip)?
Adobe. They’re Revit print-to-file documents with annotations, so maybe that’s why.
It’s going from RAM to page file. You need more memory.
If Kavanaugh goes down, I’d love to see him go apeshit in the Senate. “If I’m going down for things I haven’t done, then I might as well do them! Hey Hironi, how do you like my junk in your face?

And an open sourced platform doesn’t do that? How about an eat shit and die space?
The only thing that should matter is the quality of the code. I wouldn’t care if the philosophical offspring of Charles Manson and Reinhard Heydrich was writing code if they were doing a good job.
Just great, and not at all surprising. Torvalds’ struggle session becomes a whole lot clearer.
As promised, LULZ.com reached out to a variety of experts and some results are in. Richard M. Stallman said over email that he thinks the licence revocation plan is “misguided.”
Well, Dick, from the sound of it, you’re not the ones holding the leash.
That’s RMS, free as in gulag.
Honestly, this may sound crappy, but I support the folks who want to pull their code. I know, it’s a potential disaster waiting to happen. But, maybe it needs to. The people who’ve been pushing this totalitarian PC control are rarely, if ever, the actual producers of the world. They just get their hooks into other people’s achievements and line others up into supporting their demands. It’s got to end somehow. And maybe, if companies like Google, Samsung, and Facebook realize their entire business model might be on the line, they might realize they’re better off supporting the people they actually rely on than the people who openly declare they want to destroy them.
Meritocracy requires losers and that is their main objection. They’re losers.
They should be losers. The problem is they’re not. Even though they add nothing of value to the world, they’ve managed to insinuate themselves into various corporate, non-profit and governmental institutions to the point where they can dictate to the people who actually do add value. So, you have professors with long and distinguished academic careers having to prostate themselves before junior assistant deans of student life. You have people with incredibly impressive technical achievements getting their careers ended by “diversity and inclusion consultants”. You have talented engineers and developers getting ousted at the demands of people could barely make the cut as second string HR assistants.
#metoo
Bring it on, losers.
If there really was some “straight white males only” mentality, the community would insist on determining whether a new contributor is “one of us” before accepting their code, but they don’t do that in the slightest. Thus, it’s patently clear there is no culture of exclusion, but rather a culture of total indifference to individual differences beyond coding ability.
Well, bub, avowed color-blindness is now considered on par with no-shit discrimination, because “liberals get the bullet, too.” That’s the progressive impetus, killing off any intra-party liberality to neutralize resistance. Reject the progressive Borg or become it, there’s no third way.
The conspiracy minded types are suggesting that an outside party is attempting to wreck the kernel.
I only use Linux. I don’t code.
I’m a fan of open source, but this is a problem you get, because the producers don’t actually have customers they have to please. You do you yourself at risk that the programmer may pull the code. (Note this isn’t the case with all open source licenses.)
Today in Jason Van Dyke’s murder trial in Chicago, the defense started its presentation of evidence. They put on the stand a pathologist that said all but two of the 12 bullets that killed Laequan McDonald were fired while he was still standing up (despite video evidence showing he fell two seconds after Van Dyke started firing) and anotther cop who testified to McDonald’s “violent past” (before admitting on cross that Van Dyke wouldn’t have known about that before he started shooting).
I mean, we all know the cop’s going to get off here, but they could at least make it look like they’re trying.
They’re very trying.
When are the riots scheduled for? I want to plan my week.
My wife and I were discussing the whole Kavanaugh fiasco and thought we were going to have a huge disagreement, but surprisingly, she thinks the whole ordeal is bullshit. What makes her angry about all of this is that there have been women who’ve been sexually assaulted and for the Democrats to use this whole thing as some political game cheapens those who have suffered.
Politics brings out the shittness in folks.
I haven’t come across a single person who agrees with what’s been going on. Granted, I was on vacation all of last week and stayed away from politics, but still. I haven’t even seen support for these shenanigans on facebook.
I see one or two people but yeah, overall everyone’s been pretty quiet about it or at the very least have some reservations about all of this bullshit going on.
Well… the 2 girls I know that were very, very anti-Kavanaugh (they’re pro abortion. No, I don’t mean pro choice. I mean pro abortion) haven’t said a fucking word about the latest accusation.
Maybe its because each of them grabbed my dick in college without permission. And yes, I would have brought it up on facebook if they had posted anything.
And, to head off what I know is going to be a followup question:
No. Not attractive.
Dicks usually aren’t.
Usually?
You haven’t seen my dick.
I’d worry about preemptive accusations coming your way.
Nope. This happened in the dorms, and at least 20 people saw. And remember. We still joke about it.
My wife told me this story about this guy in college who just grabbed her and started kissing her. She lost her shit and told the guy to back the fuck off. But she didn’t characterized that as sexual assault. She characterized that as a drunk guy being a dick.
My wife kicked a guy in the nuts at a bar. No means no, and that was the end of the story.
No blogging, no tweeting, no struggle sessions, no PTSD. Just a kick to the nuts.
Would she be willing to testify that that guy could theoretically have been Brett Kavanaugh?
I’ve been sexually harassed and assaulted (under their definition) many times between high school and college. Only one of them was anything more than a minor annoyance. That one was a legit attempt at predatory grooming, and even that didn’t stick with me more than a couple of years.
I got Asia Argento’d at work when I was 16. Still proud of it.
I was at a party once and this hot chick grabbed my ass. I’ve been traumatized ever since because I didn’t get a chance to bang her that night.

Dance line chick dating a friend of mine. Should have. Didn’t. Too chivalrous.

Have you talked to your therapist about it?
Shit, I will now. Gotta get this on record in case I’m ever selected to be on the SC.
I wasn’t exactly Don Juan in college but I’ve instances when girls (who were super drunk) would just mouth rape me or grab my junk.
The best part is that one of them turned into an SJW and wrote some long screed about how we should always #believeher. If I was a dick, I would have wrote down the time we were at some party in Lincoln Park and without asking, became grabby and tried to make out with me. I wasn’t traumatized and sure as shit didn’t push her off but by her logic, she basically sexually assaulted me.
Ah. Projection even for #metoo!
Asia Argento makes sense now.
All this is true. Hell in many first world world countries, if you murdered someone 40 years ago you’d have done your time by now.
But the kicker here is I don’t even think he did it in the first place. At all. Or anything.
The loudest voices I’ve seen on Facebook were the “usual suspect” crowds of hardcore Team Blue cheerleaders. I made the mistake of trying to introduce logic, evidence, etc., into the discussion, only to be told how evil I was. And to be given all sorts of grief about how I don’t understand psychology, or the law, or…damn near anything. I think I’m finally gonna give up on trying to talk to these people about anything political. It’s really not worth the effort.
You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into, so logic, evidence, etc., are completely irrelevant. All you;re accomplishing is frustrating yourself.
Yup. When that parade gets going, I end up feeling like Kevin Bacon. “Remain calm, all is well!”

Good.
That comment section tho…
Damn it all. A cousin of mine died today, out of a clear blue sky (no warning). Her husband found her having a hard time breathing and called paramedics, started CPR. That’s all I know. Death, you got sucky timing.
Sorry about that
So sorry, my sincere condolences. Sudden death I think is the worse case for survivors – no chance to reconcile or to say proper goodbyes.
My condolences.
Young kids?
No kids. She’s married – her third – high school sweetheart who still liked her after 20+ years.
Wow. Sorry and sad.
Sorry to hear this.
Sorry to hear that.
Work colleague lost his wife in a similar way. They were driving home from a family visit, she fell asleep in the car, never work up. Hard to get over the shock of it.
*woke up
Sorry. Those are the worst.
I am sorry. Had several friends, neighbours and acquaintances up and suddenly die. It’s always a shock. It’s like the ultimate expression of the randomness of the Universe.
Condolences.
Sorry 🙁
Sorry, Elspeth.
Death, when it comes to a younger, healthier appearing person is always a traumatic surprise, the unexpected and unplanned. As a not so young person death no longer is a surprise. I have lost many friends and a lot of family. I have a friend with Alheimer’s, his wife is going through a living hell coping with his unpredictablility. Another friend’s wife is withering away, weighs about 80 lbs, has no strength and unable to tend to her physical needs. He too is having extraordinary demands placed upon him.
I want to leave as quietly and quickly as possible when the time has arrived. Those closest will be surprised. I don’t want the decline to be long and bothersome. Death is not something for old people to fear. A stroke or heart attack when I’m in my deer stand would be a perfect way to go, especially if I had a nice 8 point buck on the ground. Let someone else dress it out, I’ve did my share for those that were unable to do it themselves, for whatever reason. I’m not leaving until I get that 8 pointer though.
I’m so sorry.

“When nearly 100 drugs became scarce between 2015 and 2016, their prices mysteriously increased more than twice as fast as their expected rate, an analysis recently published in the Annals of Internal Medicine reveals. The price hikes were highest if the pharmaceutical companies behind the drugs had little competition, the study also shows.
The authors—a group of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and one at Harvard Medical School—can’t say for sure why the prices increased just based off the market data.”
“Mysteriously”…. If you’re a fucking idiot.
Maybe take the guys down the road at Harvard Business School out for a pizza and ask them to look your paper over before publishing.
I thought that was a satirical statement at first. But then they said that the researchers were really dumbfounded.

“BREAKING: Chairman Grassley has asked Blasey-Ford’s lawyers to turn over results of a private polygraph Ford claims she took & passed–along with “the list of questions.” The test was based on a statement “summarizing” her allegations, and may not have mentioned Kavanaugh by name”
https://twitter.com/paulsperry_/status/1044052266809020419
Grassley is obviously turning this whole thing into some kind of witch hunt!
But it was conducted by a former FBI official! FBI OFFICIAL!
It’s like polling. The questions being asked kind of matter. A lot.
Asked? Fuck that. Subpoena their asses.
Fuck all of this. Toss Flake off the committee and hold the motherfucking vote. Enough sideshow.
For all the mostly-deserved shit Republicans are getting for their handling of the whole process, I think Grassley deserves some credit. Guy’s definitely not just laying down, while at the same time doing a pretty good job of keeping it nominally civil so that he can’t (reasonably) be accused of “attacking” Ford.
You can’t win this battle without attacking Ford. Either she’s lying or she isn’t. Fuck this, “She may have misremembered” stuff. We’ve all heard her story and seen the way she’s behaved.
“Attacking” implies a hostile and aggressive posture. I think you can challenge and discredit her story without that. I think being hostile about it just plays into the D old-powerful-white-men vs poor-powerless-women narrative.
I get what you’re saying. It’s hard to question the credibility of an accuser while also vouching for her character. Calling her a “G-damned liar!” is one thing, but they could just say, “I have no idea who this lady is, but her story doesn’t stack up.”
I think Grassley has made it very clear that he doesn’t believe a word of it, covered with a thin veneer of lawyer propriety. Asking for the polygraph transcript is a great example of that — that’s not an act that implies that she’s a person of good character who can just be trusted on the little details.
I personally think that approach was the right call, but I’m also sympathetic to the desire to just call her a fucking liar and force a vote.
TBF to Grassley, you’re correct that he’s handling the shitshow as well as could be expected. He can’t call her a liar. Why are people like Tucker C and others going on TV every night saying, “Dr. Ford seems like a decent lady, but I’m just say’n”? It’s not helping.
While he’s at it, request that she waive doctor/patient privilege and produce the therapist’s notes of her sessions too!
Kavanaugh is Principal Skinner:
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/408172-kavanaugh-i-was-a-virgin-through-high-school-and-college
Virgin is such a nebulous term these days.
Poophole loophole?
Anus mandamus?
Wasn’t that a character in Life of Brian?
He has a wife, you know…
Anybody else feel like a little…. giggle….
Theory thus wappscaoion to the floow
“Or anything close to sexual intercourse.”
That’s more than a virgin. That’s a supreme virgin.
Extra-Virgin
It is a curious admission, given that it’s not actually relevant & won’t change anyone’s minds.
That’s because he wasn’t successful in raping her, he just tried to.
You could work for the New York Times or the Washington Post with an attitude like that!
So he’s actually worse than a rapist, he’s a loser.
Avanetti’s revelation last night triggered a memory. In college, Brett Kavanaugh showed up at a party with two tranny hookers and a bag of blow. After doing a few lines, Brett Kavanaugh had one tranny hooker take him from behind and the other tranny hooker give him a blow job at the same time. This was in front of everybody. I remember it like it was yesterday, even though I never went to college.
Can you be in DC by Thursday?
That sounds consensual, needs more unwanted groping.
Yeah… hooker=consensual.
Can we make it tranny nuns?
Spud just needs more assistance recovering his memories.
It wasn’t consensual for those of us who were forced to watch. The tranny hookers that were doing Brett Kavanaugh had hairy chests and large America penis’s.
I’m pretty sure that Avanetti went to McMartin Preschool of Law.
Are they voting to confirm this guy today or what? It’s Tuesday here, so I assume it hasn’t happened because I’m in the future and know these things.
Nah. She’s scheduled to speak to congress on Thursday, I believe.

The fine print at the bottom says
“If you see Gary, please call his mother or give him directions to his house.”
PS: He lives in a leppo.
What I’ve always found so persuasive about Johnson’s independence is how he frequently takes a position than changes that position when pressed and then always seems to settle on the status quo position.
Nothing says independence quite like “status quo”
Also, despite his flip-flops on forced inoculation, a burka ban, a carbon tax, and maintaining a permanent base in Afghanistan, I’m convinced that Gary will hold the line on spending. Or he will at least hold the line on spending until the NYT prints a critical piece about his demands for spending cuts. Then he’ll probably change his position.
But those few months before he inevitably flip-flops on spending will be so worth it

Interesting.

Why are printers all such absolute pieces of shit that die <1 year after you buy one?
We just bought a laser printer for $20 at Salvation army. Turned out it was just missing the paper tray which was $28 online. Thing retails on Amazon for $460. So I guess my printer karma is good lately
Mmmmm…I just had your handle with kielbasa. Delicious!
I bought a $50 printer a few weeks ago that feels like it’s held together with duct tape and spit. You get what you pay for, I guess. On the plus side, I have used it three times.
I actually have such good luck with printers that the ink cartridges become cost prohibitive before the printer wears out. So we end up buying a new printer just to save money on ink. I don’t know if that is a win or not…
I have a decent one. Depends on what you pay, and what you expect out of it.
