Quote I
“If you, as a white person, feel that I matter so little within the context of what I create… you’re colonizing my poetry.” Jasmin Kaur
Quote II
"That would be absolutely foolish, inconsistent, and hypocritical. Those who believe that Bill Clinton should never have been impeached for allegedly lying about his sex life are now going to lead the campaign to impeach Kavanaugh for allegedly lying about his sexual and drinking activities back when he was a 17-year-old? It's hypocrisy run rampant." Alan Dershowitz
Quote III
“I do my high IQ meetings before lunch. Like anything that’s going to be really mentally challenging, that’s a 10 o’clock meeting.” Jeff Bezos
Quote IV
"Mine is a most peaceable disposition. My wishes are: a humble dwelling with a thostaed roof, but a good bed, good food, milk and butter of the freshest, flowers at my window, and a few fine tall trees before my door; and if God wants to make my happiness complete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before death I shall, moved in my heart, forgive them all the wrong they did to me in their lifetimes. One must, it is true, forgive one’s enemies—but not before they have been hanged.” Heinrich Heine
Quote V
“The world is watching,” Powell said. “They cannot believe we’re doing things like separating mothers and children who are trying to get across the border from south of our border. They can’t believe we’re making such an effort to cease immigration coming into the country. It’s what’s kept us alive! Colin Powell
A controversial four-day sex fest offering "unlimited" drug and booze-fuelled orgies with prostitutes is making its return after sparking outrage last year. Sex Island promises two "latina" women for every man, live sex shows, luxury yacht parties and "surprises" - all for nearly £5,000.
It all goes down on a "drug-friendly" private Caribbean island where men can have "unlimited sex", swap partners and fulfil their sexual fantasies while partying "like a millionaire", say organisers

The Bon Scott story.
On the night of Feb. 19, 1980, Bon Scott, frontman for the Australian rock band AC/DC, climbed into the backseat of a parked car in London. Scott had always been a heavy drinker, even by rockstar standards. On this particular night, he’d been indulging his habit in a local club.
There are a few hunters here at the AoSHQ. If you're planning an elk hunt. Let's be careful out there.
Over the course of this limited study, grizzlies do in fact follow elk hunters. At one point, a grizzly followed within 100 yards of one elk hunter, however the elk hunter never reported seeing it. As it appears, grizzlies follow elk hunters downwind and off to the side of a trail that hunters take.
October 9, 1940, Born on this day, John Lennon singer, songwriter, guitarist, The Beatles sold over 20m singles in the UK (1962-1970), and scored more UK & US No.1 albums than any other group. 1967 'Sgt. Pepper's' is the UK's biggest selling album ever. In 1990 Lennon's song 'Imagine' was played simultaneously in 130 countries to commemorate what would've been Lennon's 50th birthday. He was shot dead in New York by Mark Chapman on 8th December 1980. via thisdayinmusic.comWilliam F. Buckley opines on the song "Imagine".
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace. Well, we certainly want to imagine a world in which everyone lives in peace, but you see, that is only possible in a world in which people are willing to die for causes. There'd have been peace for heaven knows (assuming heaven existed) how long in the South, except that men were willing to die to free the slaves, and Hitler would have died maybe about the time John Lennon did, at Berchtesgaden, at age 91, happy in a Jewless Europe. There have got to be reasons that even affected John Lennon to prefer one country over against another. I happen to know this to be the case, since a long time ago he asked me to help him get papers permitting him to live in the United States rather than in Great Britain.
October 9, 1948, Born on this day, Jackson Browne, singer, songwriter, (1978 UK No.12 single 'Stay', 1978 album 'Running On Empty', 1982 US No. 7 single 'Somebody's Baby') via thisdayinmusic.com
A scientific break through for men?
A group of scientists believe they’ve uncovered at least some of the genetic risk factors that can contribute to a common health concern among men: erectile dysfunction. Their findings, published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, have possibly identified a specific place in our genome linked to the distressing condition. Erectile dysfunction affects one-fifth of men over the age of 20 in the U.S., according to a 2007 study. But the chances of having it go up as men age, and men who have conditions like cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes are also more likely to experience it. Scientists have long suspected that genes play a role in erectile dysfunction, based on studies of twins. But it’s been difficult to find exactly where this added risk could be in our genome.
The same Philadelphia nun who demanded Wells Fargo's board call for an investigation into its September 2016 fake accounts scandal is questioning the company's ethics following its recent decision to work with a major gun manufacturer.
California, a gun grabbing state.
“Another California law allows police to verbally ask to confiscate a gun rather than make their case in a written request. Under “red flag laws,” guns can be confiscated from citizens who’ve never been charged with, much less convicted of, breaking any law. And it’s getting easier and easier to do it.” – David Harsanyi
A Springfield man is in jail after authorities say he filmed himself using a butter knife and a screwdriver to remove an ankle monitor — then posted the video to Facebook. The July video referenced by investigators is still posted on what appears to be the Facebook page of Dustin W. Burns, 33. Court records show Burns pleaded guilty to violating a restraining order earlier this year and was placed on probation.
“Hey, paisan — same as usual,” said John O’Rourke to Mr. Mancinelli, who began layering Mr. O’Rourke’s hair with his steady, snipping scissors. “I don’t let anyone else touch my hair,” said Mr. O’Rourke, 56, of Cornwall, N.Y. “The guy’s been cutting hair for a century.” Actually, Mr. O’Rourke was off by three years. Mr. Mancinelli is 107 and still working full time, cutting hair five days a week from noon to 8 p.m. He has been working in barbershops since he was 11. Warren Harding was in the White House.

Mr. Lindsey Grahambo gave an interview with local media yesterday which I saw on the 11PM News last night (WYFF, Greenville, SC).
He said that never before in his career has he ever campaigned against a colleague. But now that's going to change.
What he was talking about is "senatorial courtesy". One senator never directly campaigns against another senator, even of the other party. Directly, now.
So Mr. Lindsey is apparently going to directly badmouth his Democrat colleagues.

I've been reading about the late 1970s heyday of the legendary disco club, Studio 57. It was really actually only open from 1977 to 1978, about a year and a half. The IRS closed it down when they found the owners were doing everything in cash... and not declaring their (massive quick) windfall.
Jimmy Carter's IRS took Studio 54 down. Can't help but wonder: is that a point in the good or bad column for ol' Jimmeh?

Since slavery, the value of Black women's bodies has been based on our ability to birth children. The economic oppression of Black women and the control over Black women's bodies are inextricably linked. Economic oppression can show up in various forms: a mother already challenged with financially supporting children becomes pregnant, or another mother living in an unsafe community and can't afford to move due to poverty. A reproductive justice framework identifies why a woman must be able to make the choices that are best for herself and her family.
Abortion - especially targeted at specific races - is "justice" now. This same outfit also describes abortion as "self care." They make Planned Parenthood look tame.

So... a U.S. Marshals program, but state and local police were included.
123 children recovered, of 301 reports the Marshals were working on. But only 107 if you believe the state police? Either way, good for the kids.
3 kids reported being in sex-trafficking rings.

Kaur explained that the poem, ironically, was written to reflect on the way that Sihk voices are erased in media.
LOL.
She also said that the world "selfishly consumes" the work of women of color.
I think "stupidly" is the more accurate word. The original poem sucked and the "edited" poem was equally as stupid.
And I find it funny how these third-world losers think the successful societies are just stealing all their shit. LOL. "Selfishly consumes" ... yeah ... right. Write me a postcard from your dead husband's funeral pyre ...
Kaur concluded the post by saying, "If you, as a white person, feel that I matter so little within the context of what I create... you're colonizing my poetry."
Crybaby. There weren't five people on Earth who had ever heard of her "poem" (and I use that word loosely) before the femnazi mob took a knife to it and threw it up on their bedposts and toilets.

You'll laugh, but I didn't do well in calculus either. I was bored: I was going to new chemistry and synthesize new compounds, and didn't give a shit about calculus (or art history, or sociology, or ...), preferring to go bodysurf instead.
But now ... I like it. A lot. It's not difficult; it's just generally poorly taught (as is chemistry, for that matter).

Which is kinda sad. Back when poets needed patrons and sold poems in anthologies there was a feedback loop - if you wrote crap poetry, you did it as a hobby. People who wrote successful poetry had a cultural impact, because normal people read their work.
Now the only poets who make a living at it do so from university sinecures. They only write poetry (or should I say "poetry") for poetry critics in other universities. So of course it's all crap that doesn't have any relevance to the wider culture.

The ones who like to eat usually go into real estate. Honest.
The others write on the side as a hobby or to express creativity that doesn't come from working for a living.
The really fortunate ones can write other things as well and have the poetry to sustain their souls.
That said, whoever this person of color is, sounds more that she's whining about someone reading her stuff and saying it sucked.

What the brown communist is actually upset by is that some of the white communists have been taking one of her "poems", changing the words, and reposting it.
Now, true, the "poem" is shite, but nonetheless having people take your work without permission is wrong.
Oh, wait: they're communists, and property is theft.

You need a logic tree
- If you're a white man, then "yes"
- If you're a "man of color," then "maybe" - it depends on your birthplace, class and political affiliation.
- If you're a white woman, then "yes"
--> Unless you're a radical feminist lesbian, in which case "no" - but only if you buy carbon credits
- If you're a "woman of color," then "no"

The defense gets a huge advantage by doing that with no assumption of risk.
The defense gets a force at any base, yet isn't required to even take the smallest of risks by throwing four balls to walk a batter. The pitcher will, on occasion blow throw and cause a run to come in.
I know the MLB games can go on a long time, but finding a time savings on that little piece of minutia devalues the quality of the game.
Maybe make the batters stay in the batters box and not adjust their batting gloves for 30seconds between every pitch.

The defense gets a huge advantage by doing that with no assumption of risk.
The defense gets a force at any base, yet isn't required to even take the smallest of risks by throwing four balls to walk a batter. The pitcher will, on occasion blow throw and cause a run to come in.
I know the MLB games can go on a long time, but finding a time savings on that little piece of minutia devalues the quality of the game.
Maybe make the batters stay in the batters box and not adjust their batting gloves for 30seconds between every pitch.
Posted by: Cuthbert the Witless at October 09, 2018 11:04 PM (9dzlp)
The notion that intentional walks are responsible for long baseball games is ludicrous.
The main culprits are commercials between innings, 50 gazillion pitching changes in every game, and most importantly, the way that batters and pitchers step out after every pitch.
Back in the early 1900s, an average 9 inning game took about an hour and 30 minutes. You can look it up.

The other dude starts asking me our gun laws, and starts asking if I had any, and why do i have them, there is no need, etc etc. I said the main reason was for defense of the country. He goes on about how thats bullshit, and this and that. He was starting to piss me off. I grabbed my drink, finished it in one gulp, and said, "England tried to take us too you know, but we threw them the fuck out, whats your excuse?"

Also, speaking of immigration, the Supremes (with Kavanaugh, of course) hear a very important case tomorrow, Nielsen v. Preap. A 9th Circus case that started under The Shit Midas.
Question presented: "Whether a criminal alien becomes exempt from mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. 1226(c), if, after the alien is released from criminal custody, the Dept of Homeland Security does not take him into immigration custody immediately."
I strongly suspect preventing Kav from making it onto the Court in time to hear this case was a primary reason for the debacle of the last month.

Yeah, you affirmative action lightweight, the "world is watching" - to see if we continued our insane, reckless, irresponsible policy of not enforcing our border, in the face of massive endless desire to migrate here. Something *none* of these countries would think of doing, if they have the ability to enforce their borders.
Besides which, you fucking repugnant airhead, have you heard of human trafficking? You have the slightest idea how much a lawless border is a driver and magnifier of one of the most vile crimes, child slavery and trafficking?
Even in the age of Trump, we don't have a single public figure (much less a dozen) who would rip Powell's empty head off for his arrogant, ignorant, hateful nonsense - and this is a problem.
Back when this idiot was SecState, I recall a message sent to accompany pizza that was sent to IDF troops somewhere on watch in Israel (PizzaIDF.com is a cool website that allows you to pay for pizza to be delivered to IDF detachments on duty - and they would list a sample of the messages donors had provided on the website).

They block it from Google's web cache (of course) but where they once reported that Trump called the Democrats "Dims", they have now removed that tidbit completely. A couple years ago that would have been put out on a mass media megaphone and everyone in the country would have heard it the next morning. It appears for the moment to be on virtual news blackout.
Unfortunately for them he will now be calling them "Dims" repeatedly and completely unchallenged, which may actually be even worse for them. Do they ignore, or rebut? Can they let it stand...? Art of War baby.

Many of the people who emigrated to America did so from Yorkshire, a place that people from the Home Counties traditionally look down upon as home to rustics.

An intentional walk should be a double, anyway. There has to be more of a penalty to an intentional walk than just the walk, itself. And I would formalize it by saying that any walk on 4 consecutive balls (if the batter swings at anything it is no longer a candidate for an intentional walk) is "intentional" and, therefore, a double.

Perhaps you should give up sitting around, feeling sorry for yourself, and get yourself a better job, or go to school to enable yourself to get a better job. Or move to where there is work. Areas where the oilfield is busy are prime targets. You seem to be using the fact that you area mixed-race person as an excuse to do nothing to better yourself. Sorry, but based on what you have posted here for the past few months, that's the way I see it.

QFT. I'm of Irish descent, and still have family there. Way back in my pre twenty nine days, I went to visit my great aunt and family in my grandfather's hometown.
It was unbelievable. I was able to buy one round in a week, once they found out who my grandfather was, and the women seemed to love Americans with close roots there. In hindsight, I should have moved there back in the mid-late 80s.
Posted by: Calm Mentor at October 09, 2018 11:57 PM (I16G8)
I've only taken one trip to England, but it was a fantastic one with friends, we are all quite musically minded, and when you have a good ear for music you have a good ear for accents. We guessed that a great number of Americans must have come from Yorkshire just by listening to their speech. It is very easy on the ears.
We started off in London but then spent most of our visit in Yorkshire (wondeful little town of Ripon) and we all commented on how, unlike the London accent, which is what you hear on the BBC mostly, the Yorkshire accents were much closer to American, to us with southern accents it sounded like they could have been from some of the northeastern states. Ended up in Edinburgh, and the Scots accent there was quite mild and pleasant. We were practicing all of them on the flight home.

Little known fact: the Yorkshire accent is closely related to the American one because many people who emigrated to America did so from Yorkshire.
Little known fact #2: what is now taken to the BBC English accent is of recent vintage. It derives from the Home Counties accent, and is just over a century old.
Little known fact #3: British English used to use "z" much as Americans now do. Only relatively recently - certainly after the American Revolution - did the Brits begin to substitute "s" for "z" in spellings.
Little known fact #4: Shakespeare's English was closer to current American English than it is to current British English.
Evidence: consider that Canadian English is virtually the same as American English, with a few idiosyncrasies ("abooot") thrown in, and certainly much closer than it is to British English. One reason Canadians are at pains in Europe to distinguish themselves from Americans (through, e.g., flag patches), because otherwise they're indistinguishable to Europeans.

True.
I minored in literature, and once had to look up in the OED every word in a scene of a Shakespeare play.
It was a tedious but illuminating exercise. So many words have changed in connotation, and others at the time had colloquial connotations now long lost. Imagine someone 500 years from now who thinks that in the 21st century "gay meant "happy, careful" instead of "degenerate."

I find it hard to believe that anyone can actually know what some spoken language actually sounded like without any recordings. Sure, you can find a few clues here and there (rhymes, etc.) but that's minor stuff - and one has to be careful with artistic license taken with such things, anyway.
Of course, one can easily claim that "this" is the way English was spoken by Shakespeare .. and no one is able to refute the claim, either. So, there's that advantage to the field ...

Because much of the word play makes no sense with current pronunciation.
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I sure I hope I don't
Have another field to plough."
Made up example, but you get my point. If "blue" were pronounced as the Germanic "blau," this would scan. Otherwise, if makes no sense.

The Guinness over there was nothing like here, way better. Curious though, they had some love affair with Budweiser. The very first night I was standing in the hotel bar, and there was another room off of the main bar room. There was a dude playing guitar and singing american songs, like Neil diamond, Roy Orbison, and some country pop. A waitress walks by and I see 3-4 bud bottles on her tray. I look around and I see bud bottles here and there on all the tables. There was a wedding going on there earlier, so these were wedding guests partying, not Americans. I look around, see the bud bottles, I hear the American music, I said to the wife, "did we make a frigging u-turn over the Atlantic that I didn't know about, where the hell are we?? I stop the waitress and i say whats with the bud??? She says oh its popular here. I said for what, cleaning your windows? She says its refreshing. I said yeah, its water. She laughs and says over here its actually stronger. I looked at the label and it was. Still, was weird seeing that. Cider was popular too. I had it, had a decent kick.

Brit scholars went to Appalachia to learn the long-forgotten lyrics of songs of the 18th century.
Fun fact: American use of "gotten" strikes Brits as archaic, much as we'd consider someone saying "hark," or "forsooth." It's still standard American English, whereas Brits would say "have got," which rather grates on my ears, personally.

Jackson Cosko is the son of Democratic donors from California; his father donated $2,500 to Dianne Feinstein and his mother donated $500 to Hillary Clinton, according to federal records.
Jackson Cosko most recently worked as an unpaid intern for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas. He previously worked with Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and former Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California. He also worked or interned with the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, as well as with at least one other unnamed lawmaker. A LinkedIn page with Cosko's name on it describes him as a "Democratic Political Professional & Cybersecurity Graduate Student."

Spelling is another clue. Spelling wasn't standardized like it is now in modern times. So, people would spell things more phonetically, and when you see differences in spelling, that's a clue to differences in pronunciation.

That's nice and all ... but they're still just superimposing forced rhymes on today's English, which is not the same as knowing how they actually spoke back then.
And I mentioned artistic license, which is something real. People force rhymes all the time. You can find poems and lyrics written today where you would have to torture a word in order to get the rhyme that the author intended - which has less than nothing to do with how any of it is actually spoken in real life.

The two famous historians - Roy (the imperative "dig!" - from your cherished canal project era) and Zhores (not as ridiculous - named for a Spanish commie named Juarez).
Now this is weird, but waaaay back in the early 70s, Fresno State had a running back named Atomic Torosian. Leave aside what an awesome name that is, esp. for a football player - back then of course I just thought it was odd, but now it seems certain he must have been from an emigre Armenian family (Fresno was the center of "first wave" Armenian immigration starting around WWI, Glendale part of LA the center of late Soviet-era immigration). A family that came out after the revolution.

General rule - if a city existed prior to the Soviet era, it often got renamed for commie heroes and big-wigs. If it was built in the Soviet era, it got named for some industrial process. The commie ones, from the Pacific to the Polish border, mostly got renamed (back to the old names) after 1991. Some of the Soviet-built places have kept their names (having had no others).

Answer, none! They're all pronounced the fricking same. "em" sort of.
How many other words do the French have for "surrender?" More than the Eskimos have for "snow?"
German at least has the dignity to pronounce every single letter the same way every time.

I'd also skip lunch and just find something out in the city - pirozhki from vendors in parks were a staple, washed down by kvas from tanks mounted on the back of WWII Lend-Lease jeep caissons (and somehow I never got sick, and am alive today). Would take tram lines to the end of the line and just explore - and Soviet clothing (bought right away upon arrival) didn't fool anybody. They'd stare.
Tried to use my student ID to bluff my way into the navy base/shipyard in central Leningrad. Guy just smiled and shook his head "no, other way, sonnie".

Yeah, but it's not that bad. German, as has been explained to me, is a synthetic language, meaning that it describes new concepts by the juxtaposition of existing ones.
English, OTOH, is an analytical language, meaning it uses a new word for a new concept.
Hence in English we talk about a "glove," which is obviously related to ... nothing, but Germans talk about "Handschuh," which obviously relates to shoe you wear on your hands.

One guy really pushed the envelope - took an internal Aeroflot flight to Moscow, unauthorized, over a weekend to visit Russian friends. Our visas had our authorized places to visit printed right on them. He really was taking a risk.
One thing that limited people to some extent was the risk to the program of serious infractions. Also a bit of "don't represent America poorly" factored in, for some at least.

I know. My question was leading. The idea that some people have that the phonetics of a written language can give them any true sense of what the actual spoken words end up sounding like is fantasy. Even for "phonetic" alphabets and the like. Pronunciation is a whole different animal and moves and varies with time and place like crazy.
This is why I was telling publius that this guy is just imposing modern English on forced rhymes in Shakespearean writing and claiming that "that is how it sounded". There is absolutely no way to know how it actually sounded. He can make a good guess but that's as close as it gets.

Spelling is another clue. Spelling wasn't standardized like it is now in modern times. So, people would spell things more phonetically, and when you see differences in spelling, that's a clue to differences in pronunciation.

If this sort of stuff is interesting to people I would recommend The History of English podcast. He starts out with proto-Indo European and moves forward from there until getting to English. He's only into Middle English right now, just finishing up with English around the time Robert the Bruce kicked the English out of Scotland. He averages about one podcasts a month. And he does talk about spelling of words pretty often. For instance "Ye" as in "Ye Olde Blacksmith shop" wouldn't have actually been pronounced "Ye" but "The" The "Y" is used because it's close to a letter we no longer use to represent the "Th-" sound.

Interestingly, I'm finding Japanese (which I just started studying) is much more like German, i.e. synthetic, rather than analytical. I'm beginning to suspect that the famed Japanese flair for ambiguity arises from linguistic considerations, as much of what I've learned already relies upon the listener's inference from the juxtaposition of various terms. As a trivial and prosaic example, "karaoke" meaning "open band," i.e., no band at all.

Not quite. English uses old German grammar, but about 70% of vocabulary is Latin based. Lots of core words from German, also from Vikings (shirt/skirt-and I consider skirt a core concept).
When I taught English/ESL I got students' attention by telling then that the most commonly used English word is Hungarian, and everybody's favorite word in English is originally Chinese.
It must be interesting to teach German to American students, considering that young Germans have incorporated so much English into their language.

Meh ... This is like what Feynman found when he was investigating the Challenger accident. He was at the plant checking the tubes (for the boosters, I think) and they had to be circular. So, he asked how they checked that the tubes were, indeed, circular, and they said that they measured three different diameters on a section to make sure that section was round. But when he talked to the guys on the plant floor, they told him that that was inaccurate since they knew that some bubbles would form on one side with a corresponding bubble in the other direction on the other side of the tube and the diameter would measure as (smooth) round even though it wasn't.
Having relative comparisons (as rhymes) doesn't give you much for the absolute sound, which is what things REALLY sounded like. Two people can read the same pair of words as rhyming even though they pronounce them quite differently. But they still rhyme, to each. In addition, as I pointed out, in poetry rhyming is often very unnatural, anyway - forced by the poet (and accepted by the public, because ... that's art). We hear countless examples of this in songs all the time.
Look, if people believe that someone can actually know how old English REALLY sounded, then great. I think they might be close but I highly doubt they are nearly as accurate as they claim. Of course, there's no way of knowing one way or the other.
Lastly, I would say that Shakespeare was influential in English. He introduced many ways of speaking that exist to this day, so it's not inconceivable that he forced some pronunciations to be different from what they actually were at the time. I don't know that to be the case but I would be surprised if it wasn't.

Chicken or egg, I dunno. I spent a summer at Tsukuba, the science city, at the invitation of the Japanese government (at the instigation of a friend of mine whom I'd known at Berkeley).
There was something I'd wanted to do/have done (now forgotten), and he'd had a pained expression and said, "It is difficult." But then I knew what that meant: there's no effing way, and I let it drop. In Britain, the corresponding expression is that "we'll do that when the time is right," which again means "no effing way" or "over my dead body."
With time even I learned the cultural signals. Probably long after the locals had decided I was retarded.

Still clearly recall attending a Tchaikovsky opera at the (then) Kirov Theater, beautiful. Don't recall how much damage it received during the war (almost every place we went, we learned that factoid - for good reason, and the restorations of the palaces, which were not just damaged but looted and vandalized by Fritz, were astonishing).
Had spent most of the day out at the beach (Gulf of Finland). Train, to/from. Hot day. Dying of thirst - and only thing to drink was the foul, super mineral-salty mineral water (room temperature). Arrived late at the Kirov, spent 5 minutes at a concession stand outside the hall drinking something drinkable (can't remember).
Years later, spent time down in Borzhomi, most famous mineral water source in the USSR. And the water was much better. Must have had the "discount" brand up north.

Yes. The dominance of the English language is not because the grammar or pronunciation are easy, because they are not.
The British Empire, then American cultural dominance have played roles.
Fundamentally, English, as a language, reflects the values of the culture that produced it. There is no Academie Anglaise that determines what is acceptable or not. English is the lovable mutt of languages, and open to what works.
Check almost any bilingual dictionary, and the English one is thicker. It is such a fantastically adaptable tool, if one learns how to use it.

Or sports commentators, baseball players, and other retards talking about "command." Prior to the First Gulf War, it was routine to talk about a pitcher's "control." After DoD briefings on taking out "command and control" centers, the baseball retards started talking about "command." Some of the most severly retarded now try to draw a distinction between "command" and "control," where all they mean is that a pitcher can throw a ball where he wants it to go.

Japanese is made up of German grammar (synthetic, verb-at-the-end) with Spanish pronunciation (same 5 vowels) and Chinese writing, borrowing literal English words for any new concepts.
Sometimes, even the English word for that concept. A computer is a computer, but a mansion is an apartment.
And then the whole language is repeated 3 or 4 times for different levels of politeness.

So what you are saying is even though the engineering specs called for circular tubes, and the quality control measurements failed to detect out of spec tubes, the SRB still functioned within required limits except for the one time the ambient air temperature exceeded the limits for the SRB seals.

Saw the Mariinsky Ballet in St. Petersburg about ten years ago. The Mariinsky Theater was getting renovated, so they danced in the Alexandrinsky Theater.
You can still see the Czar's box at the theater (it's two stories high), and at the performance I went to, the Czar's box was occupied by Chinese tourists.

For instance "Ye" as in "Ye Olde Blacksmith shop" wouldn't have actually been pronounced "Ye" but "The" The "Y" is used because it's close to a letter we no longer use to represent the "Th-" sound.
Yes, the Y came into our language to replace a letter called Thorn, which made the th sound. There are two different ways to depict the Thorn, one is a D with a line through it and the other is a sort of fucked up P.
Here is a 1624 gravestone of one Capt. John Williams. It's from Scituate, MA.
https://bit.ly/2CAwufZ
See how the Y has the e just nestled above it? They still hadn't quite figured out how to incorporate the Y, but "here lyeth the body of Capt. John"
We still had the Thorn in Beowulf's time (ca. 1000) but not by Chaucer's (1300s) and yet in 1624 we're still mucking about with Y.

I'm finding the kanji curiously amenable to learning. Once one understands the logic of them, how they began, and how they evolved over time, they change from random squiggles into something more comprehensible than I'd originally thought possible.

Posted by: Ace's liver
The most famous word in the Japanese language, "arigato" (meaning "thank you") is actually just a Japanese mispronunciation of the Portuguese word "obrigado," meaning "thank you."
Apparently when the first Westerners arrived in Japan -- Portuguese traders who landed at Nagasaki -- they kept saying "Obrigado" during negotiations, trying the charm the Japanese. But the Japanese had no idea what the word meant. When it was eventually explained to them, with some difficulty, they thought, "Damn, that's a great word! Let's borrow it!" and so "Arigato" was born.
What's incredible is that the Japanese had no word for "thank you" prior to this. How could that be, considering that their culture now revolves entirely about thanking and groveling and bowing and apologizing. How could they have developed a "gratitude culture" without ever developing a word for the core concept of their own culture?

I think it's the other way around: Yiddish is basically the Ebonics version of German, i.e., the standard language with some idiosyncratic terms thrown in. Bear in mind that much of the current American population is German in origin. This is very apparent in visiting, e.g., St. Louis, and parts of Texas (New Braunfels). IIRC, the most prevalent ethnicities in the US are Scots-Irish and German.

Japanese is unbelievably difficult. it's not like most other languages -- a lot depends on conversational context, and whom you're speaking to, and what your social role is in relation to them. People who have tried to learn it have told me that there really isn't just one "Japanese language," but more like four or five Japaneses, depending on the level of intimacy or formality involved. I know a lot of people who tried to learn it for years, and eventually gave up. In fact, I recently traveled in Japan with someone who had studied Japanese for two years, and that person was basically just as helpless and clueless as I was when it came to understanding the spoken language in real-world settings.

Yep. Yiddish is 90% German and 10% Hebrew. It's written in Hebrew, but that's a tough fit since Hebrew is a language that is really based on a syllabic alphabet (the vowels aren't included because they are part and parcel of the underlying letter structure) and a foundational structure of a three consonant root. But they had to fit this alphabet to spell out German words, which was not so easy or natural.
On the other side of Judaism (the Sephardic Jews - Spanish Jews) there was Ladino, which was the same sort of mixture, but of Spanish and Hebrew, as the daily language.

Interestingly, that is how the Greek alphabet got independent vowels as letters. They copied the Hebrew alphabet (some claim another early alphabet, but they were all very similar) but mistook some of the guttural consonants (as above) for vowels. And, thus, a phonetic alphabet with vowels was born. One of the greatest advances in writing and Mankind ... purely by mistake.
That's the story I've heard, at least.

You reminded me of an incident that happened to a close friend of mine. About twenty years ago he was traveling in Bavaria and was in a small town in the off-season (winter), and ended up at what looked like a homey authentic local restaurant for dinner. My friend, being Jewish, knew a bit of Yiddish, and also a smidgen of German. As he sat there in the corner eating all alone, late at night, he saw on the wall a sign saying some homespun homily in German -- something along the lines of "Home Sweet Home" -- and was trying to decipher it, when the owner woman came out from the kitchen into the restaurant, looked around at the diners, all of whom were locals who ate there frequently, and yelled out in German (which my friend could understand somewhat), "Have all the tourists left?" Everyone said yes, not noticing my friend in the corner, so the owner woman walked over to the sign, and flipped it over -- to reveal a portrait of Adolf Hitler! Everyone chanted briefly in unison, "Zieg heil!" and went back to eating.
My friend dropped some bills on the table and got out of there as quickly as possible.

Oh, it matters a great deal what the rest of the world thinks of the US. Right now, it's something along the lines of "holy shit, Trump is fucking serious about getting shit done! He's not some mincing ponce like Obama that talks a weak game before selling out the US", along with a bit of Steven Crowder on election night saying "do what he say!"

Think it was mid-way during the war, gauleiter of Bavaria or other top regional Nazi official decided to ban crucifixes from schools. Oops. Backlash forced him to rescind the policy.
Hitler and others planned to "deal with" the church(es), after victory in war. But feared the effects on morale and cohesion of crushing them while the issue was in doubt.

Not so fast, bander. A group of Syrian 'yoots' had the fuzz called on them in Cottbus on September 1 of this year for doing a little Seig Heilin'. There are of course other reports; I searched 2018.
The criminal police have started investigations against a group of Syrian men for using the characteristics of unconstitutional organisations. According to information from the Cottbus police, "Sieg-Heil-Rufe" was heard. The men aged 17 to 29 years had stayed in the Cottbus district of Saspow during the night to Sunday. Witnesses had called the police shortly before midnight because their sense of security was impaired by the noisy, darkly dressed group.

She took a "fact" she could have gotten from his book written in the 1990s and wove it into her false narrative. But his book was not strictly a diary, it was a docudrama, as noted by the fact that there is no character Brett Kavanaugh in his book.

Good point. We wouldn't want it indelibly etched in anyone's hippocampus.
Seriously, though, is it hurting Kavanaugh, or the people who accused him of such obviously false and politically smears? Jokes about Bill (Clinton and Cosby) work because people believe they're guilty. When we joke about Kavanaugh (or Russia) being responsible for my dryer making my clothes smell musty, it's poking fun at the library's making accusations.

Jordan Peterson, in a twitter exchange with Bret Weinstein, said that Kav, if confirmed, should step down. I don't know if there is more to this. I am guessing he has not been following the event except through the garbage media ... He has gotten a huge pushback from his regular audience.
Bret Weinstein was the professor who was forced to resign from that SJW Lord of the Flies college Evergreen. It was a blessing in disguise since it traded fame for a career at a school that will likely close in a few years. His brother Eric is a true genius and more interesting, and I recommend watching his interview on Dave Rubin. If I had to guess, I would say that they both suffer under the lunacy that Bernie Sanders would have been a better President. This blindness is relevant to the current issue.
The most aggravating thing about this is that most of the Intellectual Dark Web (tm) have been victims or know victims of pervasive media-driven character assassinations. The high majority of articles I saw about James Demore were fucking defamatory. There are two fair articles in the whole wide world as far as I know, at the Federalist and Quillette. How does their numbers compare to Forbes or the MSM?
I pick Demore, but I could have picked five others that are in or near the IDW. Knowing that ... how can you look at Kavanaugh, or even a real actual ChadBro McFratboy, and not wonder about that.

Trump does not listen to scientists. Scientists look at sea-level rise
caused by the warming Earth and warn that Tangier Island, in the
Virginia waters of the Chesapeake Bay, could be underwater in as few as
25 years. President Trump gets on the phone and, with the confidence of
God himself,...

They've known for over four decades that Tangier Island is sinking. It has nothing to do with sea level. 10,000 years ago the huge block of ice from NYC and north caused Tangier Island to rise -- like the skinny kid on a teeter totter when a fat kid sits on the other side. But it takes a tremendous amount of time for the land mass to restore itself.
But liars gotta lie.

The Waffle House is high on my list, indeed.
FEMA uses a Waffle House Index to tell just how bad an area has been hit.
Waffle house up and running -- problems are minor.
Waffle House on limited menu -- it's getting serious.
Waffle House is closed -- it's pretty damned bad. All hands on deck.

All the Waffle Houses up the I-95 corridor in Florida were closed. That meant shit was getting real shore 'nuff.

I sure hope it never comes to that. But I realize lefties have no sense of humor. Around here I see cars full of crazy leftist bumper stickers, and I just roll my eyes and laugh to myself. But I could easily see if one were covered in conservative stickers, that it would be a target.

I had to drive the boy up to college the other day and we passed the house of the leftist who has has about 40 signs in their yard. I said (because it wasn't really light yet) "I wonder if the nutty guy has more signs out now especially for the election?" His response, "You have a sign out, mom. Are you nutty?" I replied, "I have one sign out . If I put up 39 more your dad would probably divorce me."

Americans For Carbon Dividends
Another prog attempt to hijack and completely redefine words: "Americans" and "Dividends".
Because we all know Americans love giving up money and liberty to the wealthy to maintain their lavish lifestyle - all in the name of Gaia.
Dennis Prager was doing a talk where he commented on one of the Ten Commandments "You shall not carry the Lord's Name in vain", simply said, "don't drag God into your personal vanities". That is, don't go on a killing spree and claim that you are doing this for God.
It is interesting that there is no such command among the Left. One of their gods is Gaia, and it appears that it is holy and sacred to drag Gaia into their personal wealth creation schemes that just so happens to require the death and misery of billions.

Promote policies that encourage companies to focus on returning investments back to their consumer, their employees, and to the community.
Translation: Force companies to distribute income to no stakeholders.
Lower the barrier to entry for small businesses so that every entrepreneur or emerging growth company can have an opportunity to be successful.
Translation: Medicaid for all and SS let government control you life so you can just go to work and pay your taxes.
Promote regulations that protect consumers, promote competition and grow the economy.
Translation: Force investment and subsidies to favored friends and businesses while punishing enemies.
Support stronger antitrust regulations that break up monopolies and trusts that stifle competition and innovation.
Translation: We must break and destroy life to create life.

As for Exxon - stupid move, but they have the luxury of throwing money at problems to make them go away and quit bothering them. It's hard to wrap our minds around how much cash they bring in, I remember running some numbers for another net post once, and was astounded. What does $1 million mean to Exxon?
Exxon brings in $1 million in revenue EVERY 5 seconds. Seriously. Over $1 billion every single day.
