Overnight Open Thread (3-17-2015)
"Last week the Fairfax press interviewed a couple of people associated with Bilardi's Hume Islamic Youth Centre hangout, who couldn't see any connection between the kid's faith and his decision to join Islamic State."I've actually never seen him utter a word at the table when I was serving the food, cleaning up the table, nothing. He was the last person I would expect to actually go there," said former youth centre worker Furkan Derya.
I furkan derya to find a better name than Furkan Derya. A current youth centre staffer, Abu Zaid, claimed that western media was responsible for Islamic State recruits."

Starbucks Employees Now Encouraged to Berate You Over Racial Issues
I think Ace has already pretty well covered what a clucter*ck this new campaign has already been after a single day.
In fact this policy is so incandescently stupid and ill thought-out that all prudent investors should start shorting Starbucks stock until CEO Howard Schultz and the team that approved this business death-wish are gone.
For the fifth straight month, television ratings have declined by double digits over what they were a year ago.
What had started as a gradual slide as Netflix cut into traditional TV viewing habits has become a tsunami as Hulu, Amazon, and other streaming video services compete in a growing market of younger "cord cutters."

Stuff White People Hate: Books Written by White Men
Or white cisgendered women whatever those are.
The internet has been abuzz recently with debates over reading lists and reading habits. Writer K. Tempest Bradford caused a bit of a stir when she challenged readers to stop reading straight white cisgendered male authors for a year. Sunili Govinnage generated her share of outrage when she reported on her year spent deliberately not reading white authors. And in late 2014, the phenomenally successful #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign took Tumblr and Twitter by storm, sparking a conversation about which books get published and read, and which don't, and what these choices are doing to children's literature.
Many of the responses generated by these articles and initiatives have been supportive - even from those white male authors 'targeted' for exclusion. Neil Gaiman, whose novel American Gods appears crossed out in red at the top of Bradford's piece, told "anyone hoping for outrage"that he thought Bradford's suggestion was "great"...
Star Blazers Got Me Through The Shittiest Year Of My Childhood
I was a happy child, but I didn't have such a happy childhood. Other kids didn't get my weird vibe, especially in elementary and middle school. And one year in particular, we moved to a new city and a new school, and things got ugly. Only one thing kept me from losing my shit: Star Blazers....I don't think a narrative had seized hold of my brain in the same way that Star Blazers did, before this point. It was the combination of high drama and aggressive serialization. The crew of the Yamato (or the Argo, in English) were constantly running from one terrible situation to the next, and their poor old ship was always pushed to its breaking point.
And the crew of the Yamato is definitely strong and brave. Captain Avatar is a gruff old sailor whose hat covers half his face, and he sits in the command chair uttering words of wisdom... even though he's dying. (And he actually dies, towards the end of the first season, after getting sicker and sicker.) His second in command, who has the awesome name of Derek Wildstar, is a brash rebel who blames Captain Avatar for the (presumed) death of his brother.
Years later, I lived in Japan and learned Japanese, and became pretty familiar with the concepts of "gambaru" (doing your best, no matter what) and "gaman suru" (remaining strong, in spite of all temptation and suffering). The characters on Star Blazers modeled those qualities for me, even with the sometimes awful dubbing - they seemed both stoic and passionate, and ready to beat the odds over and over.
Well Star Blazers wasn't as quite as meaningful to me but I did definitely enjoy it during its limited run in the 80s and remember racing home to catch it on TV. What made it stand out was the writing which included serious adult themes and the fact that the series had an overall story arc and that events and developments carried over from episode to episode - unique for the time.
So when characters were killed, their friends still grieved for them dozens of episodes later. And every episode ended with the count of how many days Earth had left to survive which added to the intensity of the drama. As an adult now I can see the many WWII parallels in the Star Blazer series which shouldn't be a surprise given that the original Japanese series writers grew up during the war and were obviously affected by it.
How one man has managed to save hundreds of abandoned babies in Korea.
"The Drop Box" chronicles Lee's life and work. Lee, the pastor of Jusarang Community Church in a working-class neighborhood of Seoul, has been taking in unwanted infants since 2009. Lee built his "baby box" after getting a call early one chilly autumn morning. "In front of the door," said the voice on the other line. When he and his wife went to their front door, they found a baby, cold to the touch, in a cardboard box. Lee worried about what would have happened had they not found her until later.So he got out his tools and built a heated box on the side of his church, lining it with blankets, rigging it with a bell, and affixing to it a sign that reads, "This is a facility for the protection of life. If you can't take care of your disabled babies, don't throw them away or leave them on the street. Bring them here."
...As it turns out, the baby box is the last hope for many. In the past several years, South Korea has seen a rise in infant abandonment, the result of a culture that shames physical deformity and stigmatizes single motherhood, as well as an unintended consequence of a law passed in 2012 requiring mothers to register births and restricting international adoptions.
In the past several years, South Korea has seen a rise in infant abandonment, the result of a culture that shames physical deformity and stigmatizes single motherhood.
Since 2009, Lee's baby box has saved 600 children, some of them deposited there only hours after birth. Lee and his staff generally have up to 20 children in their care, and he and his wife have adopted ten (the maximum number of children South Koreans can adopt).

Up here in the now unfrozen tundra of Minneapolis, the Black Irish youths that are not Irish are running amok in Downtown Minneapolis for St Patrick's Day.
The police are trying to put the youths on buses to get them out of the downtown. Personally I think they should be using Paddy Wagons in honor of the day, and locking the poor benighted youths up over night.

Oh the original series had budget issues which forced them to truncate the series by over ten episodes. Thus the supposedly dead brother stayed very dead and never made an appearance though he was supposed to.
Here is the live action movie that came out a few years ago. Long on melodrama as they tell the whole first season story arc in one go. And it has pretty good special effects. Wave Motion Cannon. Black Tiger squadron. Dogfights in space.

Netanyahu Ahead in Close Election by Divided Israel
NewYorkTimes.com - 12 mins ago
After a bruising campaign focused on his failings, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel seemed to emerge from Tuesdays elections in the best position to form a new government, though he offended many voters and alienated allies in the process.
While the results were still incomplete, exit polls and partial returns suggested that Mr. Netanyahus Likud Party was likely to claim 27 or 28 of the 120 seats in Parliament, and his chief rival, the center left Zionist Union alliance, to take 26 or 27.

I was almost swayed by the anti-gluten wackos. Then I came to my senses.
I performed a little experiment: I went without gluten for a week. No change at all in how I felt. (I didn't feel bad in the first place; just wanted to see if I had more energy or better digestion.)
Conclusion: I have 0 gluten allergies.
Maybe some do. I doubt it. If you eat a loaf of bread every 2 or 3 days, yeah you're probably gonna feel like crap. Blame it on gluten?? That's just dumb.

Can I ask a favor of you praying Horde members?
My mother Virginia broke her hip about a week ago. She had been sitting reading and unbeknownst to her her leg had fallen asleep, so when she stood up too quickly she fell over -- hard. She managed to drag herself to the phone and get help.
She had to get hip replacement surgery, so now she's in rehab undergoing grueling therapy. She's a real Apache in the face of pain and tries to underplay it, but I know she's under a lot of stress.
She's a tough, classy, funny dame. Think Lauren Bacall, but with even more killer bone structure. She's my mother and my best friend.
A word in the ear of the big guy upstairs asking for her quick recovery would be great. Thanks so much!

Divided Israel?
Just like here, it's a 'divided' country when their people don't take control."
Yes, since Likud/Bibi won. Had Labor/Herzog won, shit you know. And, yes, we understand coalitions and shit.

No story here. Nope. Not at all. http://pllqt.it/mI4De9
During Barack Obama's recent State of the Union speech, he told America he had no more campaigns to run. But it seems that statement flies in the face of reports that an organization known as “One Voice” has brought in what has been called a "five-man Obama team" to defeat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Included in that five-man team is Jeremy Bird, the national field director for Obama's 2012 campaign, Dr. Aaron Lerner, Director of the Independent Media Review and Analysis, said Monday, citing a report at Haaretz.
That group, Dr. Lerner added, will run the anti-Netanyahu effort out of offices taking up the ground floor of a Tel Aviv office building. The campaign, known as V-2015, is careful not to support a specific party, but is working to ensure Netanyahu does not win Israel's March election. Because the effort is not supporting any specific candidate or party, Dr. Lerner said, foreign funds -- meaning monies coming from outside Israel -- raised by the campaign are not subject to that country's campaign finance laws.

Probably they are looking at their expansion strategy and see a lot of high density locations that are mostly non-white where their little shops don't do very well.
I lived in CA, and white area have a starbucks on every other block, but non-whites area just have burrito shops. It must drive them crazy that all that burrito money is out of reach. Maybe if they added sour creme as a topping?

McDonalds have done quite well since they decided to prominently rebrand themselves from the preferred fast food outlet of suburban whites to the preferred fast food of urban blacks.
Oh, no, wait. They have actually suffered a huge sales blow as people who aren't urban blacks have hastily taken their business elsewhere and have not come back.

I admit, I expected a job offer at the end of the interview. I did not get one. But, they *still* seem really interested in me, and the two attorneys I spoke with seemed genuinely interested in my skills.
Good signs: They gave me the whole rigamorole of how their office works, a bit of the politics (office not national), and told me about their benefits. As we all know, they won't bother with that stuff unless you're a likely candidate.
Bad/semi-bad signs (but could also be seen in some light somehow as 'good'): they actually gave me pointers *during* the interview on how I could be doing better. Namely, they actually said to me, try to answer questions more concisely. I admit I tend to tell my life story on the drop of a hat. And they said one of the keys to success on the job is to be succinct.
Finally, I got news that the job is casual dress even though they're a law firm, which is NOT easy to find, and that they still believe in providing health insurance for their employees. Just good people there IMHO.
So, I should hear whether I'm hired by the end of the week, and right now I'm assuming I'll start Monday. Gonna try and stay positive, and of course will pass on what the final decision is as soon as I find out. Thanks for all the support to everyone here in the Horde. :-) :-) :-)

One of our clients once was actually a failed business owner who still owed 15 employees their final paycheck. Of course he listed them all as unsecured debtors so I doubt they ever saw fair compensation for their work. Did not enjoy typing that petition.

Bibi can form a solid coaltion of rightwing parties if he wants. His previous governments simply indicate that he prefers to bring in 1 or 2 left wing parties even when he doesn't have to. He's promised no unity government so we'll see. Yes I'm quite happy Obama will become unhappy when he is actually made aware of said election. Of course he'll find this out when he thumbs through the New York Times tomorrow morning/noon given that he pretty much learns about everything after the fact.

For instance, he would have commissioned a series of iMac ads promoting... how people are using them to improve race relations. Of course there'd be the typical scenes of white kids and black kids playing together and being affectionate and stuff.
He could have done that. And I could have utterly ignored those ads. Which would be fine. Stupid, but not a deal-breaker. But if he instructed people at Apple stores to talk to me about race, Schulz-style, or etched SJW crap on the back of the gadgets he was trying to sell me, there'd be a problem.

It's a
common tactic of the left to preemptively challenge the reasonableness of their opponents. What do many
secularists call Haredi and Hasidic Jews? The "ULTRA-Orthodox." They
certainly don't call themselves ultra anything. But adding the "ultra' is a way to say up front that these people are crazy whereas adding the words "center," "moderate," or "middle class" to anything
leftist is a way to fool people.

Congrats for finding it! Actual celiac disease is a no-nonsense horrorshow that is frequently misdiagnosed for long periods. I don't know how things are there, but around here you see 99 folks who look more like the guy in the video for every one person that actually has it.
OTOH, you don't need celiac disease to have problems from overdosing on carbs, food allergies, or various other metabolic or digestive issues.

There's an interesting hypothesis out there, that some people have allergies to the proteins in the (relatively) new dwarf wheat that has taken over the world, because of much higher yields.

It's just that instead of a hyperlinked web screen, Amazon did everything via their catalog. Then around 1890, somebody said hey, let's augment our income with some freestanding stores. Of course as we all know, by 1960 or so the stores were easily outperforming the catalog business, and I think it was around 1995 or so that Sears finally completely abandoned the catalog.
What's incredible to me is, Amazon now is actually talking about opening up some freestanding stores. Like they say, those who fail to learn from history...

"There's an interesting hypothesis out there, that some people have
allergies to the proteins in the (relatively) new dwarf wheat that has
taken over the world, because of much higher yields."
You can find (and buy) things like flour and pasta made with old
time heritage wheats, to experiment as to whether modern
yield-engineered wheat causes you GI tract difficulty.
Someone way back in my family tree must have misconducted themselves
with a goat, because I do just fine with anything I can chew thoroughly
enough to swallow, all modern crop plants included. Haven't tried kudzu
or poison oak yet.

In inquired about attending a sporting event and without exception it was recommended I stay away for soccer for reasons of my safety.

328 311 Most of the race baiters are also insistent that US sporting
life is part of the problem and look at Euro soccer as the ideal. US
sports are an escape and a unifier. Euro soccer fans are vile. They'll
riot of course. They'll throw bananas at North Africans in Spain, form
human swastikas in Poland, use the stiff arm salute during Lazio games
(Mussolini's favorite team) and come dressed in Utase uniforms in
Croatia. Our country has drunk college kids rioting and occasional
fights but nothing like they have.

The comment thread on the Starbucks fiasco was the funniest thing I've read ina very long time. The Horde was teed up a fat, slow pitch and ripped the cover off it.
This isn't the first idiotic Starbucks/Shultz social engineering/airhead NPR moral narcissist preenfest. Last year, or year before (?), SBUX had this idiotic "jobs" thinggy. About as stupid and embarrassing as most things pushed by institutions or companies in the US today. Something about wanting to help create more jobs - uh, OK, uh, WTF?
I had recently sold my SBUX stock, but remember guffawing when I saw the stupid little sign near the cash register, and wanting to tell the barrista/race conversation technician "how about no longer supporting job-killing idiocy like scientifically baseless 'environmental' destruction of commerce, or other regulatory vandalism of the economy, or ruinous levels of taxation, and the political party that is responsible for about 90% of those ills?"
But of course I just shook my head and absorbed one more data point in the degradation of a once great country and civil society ....

I positively adored everything about the show. Even today, if you asked me to select my fave supervillian, I'd be hard pressed to choose between Drth Vedder and Zolter ( Aaaahahhah!)
The only thing I remember about Starblazzers was the intriguing shape of the Aargow.
Unfortunately both shows are white, cis male and heteronormative, although I hear that battle of the planets in the original Japanese, that Zoltare was transgendered (I kid you not).

Used to read LGF up until the change. Managed to catch open registration once and came () this close to signing up, but I had reservations about his policies, so I backed out. Glad now I did.

upper-tier US States should be alert for auroras after nightfall. As St.
Patrick's Day came to an end in Maine, Northern Lights were visible
even before the sky faded to black:
Trust me if you get the chance, see the Northern Lights. It will amaze you.

ctulhu, stopped looking at LGF before the crazy transformation, so was
never banned, just faded away. Can't recall exactly when or why I
stopped going there. Mostly commented there in the good early days,
post-9/11 up to the 2004 election.
Sullivan did a similar 180 at some point, pretty pathetic. His
comment section wasn't as interesting, but I do remember email
correspondence with him a few times, can't remember details but
something MidEast-related I was able to put him some info on. Seems like
two lifetimes ago.

Actually, I faded away before actually getting banned....but when people started getting "posthumously banned", I went back and checked and had not been banned, yet. IIRC, I have a "Spreadsheet of the Banned" where I was not listed.....
But after people who had already left started getting retroactively banned for posts on other sites, the writing was on the wall. I figure that anyone who hasn't puckered up and kissed his ass in the last year is probably toast.

It was a Saturday night, (B)lazer was deep into the cups, and he decided to "hijack" a post. Somehow, Ace happened by that Saturday night, and to say it escalated is putting it lightly. Ace told him to chill out for the rest of the night, he didn't. Ace then informed him that he was going to be banned as soon as Pixy got to it. He kept on, and then Ace got Pixy to ban him. Not to be outdone, (B)lazer decided to go over to a friends and start up again. That is when Ace decided that not only would he be banned, but that the word (B)lazer would never be spoken at the HQ again.

I have no use for them, but they weren't white trash. I grew up around the corner from the drummer, and the guitar player Zambora was from the next town over. I used to run into him a lot in the local guitar store a few years before he was in bon jovi. I then got a job at another music store and when he came in I would toss him a guitar and we would jam on a few tunes here and there. Years before that he actually played my 10th grade high school dance with a band he was in at the time. Still, I was never into that band. Too lame for me. I liked warrior metal, not top 40 shit.

Is it true that the IDF votes are not tallied until Thursday? I
distinctly remember the last election when it was tied 60 left/Arab and
60 right/religious and the IDF votes gave Bayit Yehudi an extra seat a
day or two after the election. It was hilarious because the Arabs lost a
seat and the Bayit Yehudi gained a representative who just so happened
to be a settler who lived in Hebron. The Arabs were furious.

It sort of annoyed me a little that Gaiman didn't tell you Shadow was black until, like, page 436 or so. Interestingly enough, though, I'd been envisioning Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who does happen to be black, in that role the whole time, and I found out later that Gaiman had actually based the character on him. So, good work, there, Neil!

Some of the "rulez" we have today came from that incident.....when they should have been just common sense.

Like I said, the drummer lived around the corner from me, and my bass player was a few houses down from him, so I always passed the drummer's house. One anchovy first started making money he bought himself some older classic white rolls Royce, like you would see "Arthur" being driven around in. I would see it parked outside the drummer's house occasionally. Fucking poser, who the hell would buy something like that. I would rather have a Ferrari or something.

brleaz is obviously in a class of his own.
But two of the others I remember clearly are 'Jim Treacher' and arhooley. Treacher was clearly among friends but just started behaving badly, and arhooley was a regular (who I miss dearly and could probably return if she just could bring herself to apologize [but was clearly over the line]).

What happened at PJMedia?
Posted by: Jean at March 18, 2015 03:37 AM (ztOda)
PJMedia closed comments, then opened registration and deleted all prior comments -- then that registration method failed, and they made people re-register, but blocked them from using nics previously registered under the failed system. Then they "found" all the previously deleted comments, but lost registered commenters again, but (I think) allowed them to reclaim their original nics. And now, they've got historic cthulhu comments but nothing from me for a long while. Some people miraculously threaded that needle (e.g. cfbleachers), but I didn't.

What would happen if the University of Tehran were to be annihilated at a time chosen when most of its faculty would be on its premises (perhaps graduation?)?
What would happen to Iran if its known power stations were JDAM'd? Pretty tough to research nukes by flashlight, eh?
What would happen if Iran's bridges and railway interchanges were....er....impaired?
What if their political centers were similarly targeted?
It seems to me that Iran could be reduced to a collection of primitive tribal areas quite rapidly.....and that this might be a worthwhile demonstration for other countries with similar empirical ambitions.

Nah, happy for them both. Very happy.
I had a good day today too.
I hope you did too.

I don't get it. "Enjoy your prize of nothing" doesn't sound like "Very happy."

If that's the secret handshake, I'll never find you in the camps. That looks hard, and I'm generally clumsy and uncoordinated.

Morons have special abilities to find each other. When someone knows that the guys get shirts and Paul Anka slices like a fuckin' hammer, you're close.
