The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

So this dumb, entitled bint couldn't take a joke, and has to publicize a private e-mail? Which was damned funny and quite appropriate, because the company sells...wait for it...MEAT! Why the in-house publication should print a single article on the emotional and political diarrhea otherwise known as veganism, let alone a regular column is beyond me. Isn't that alienating the vast majority of their customers? You know, the normal humans who eat a wide variety of foods for pleasure and health?

Waitrose Food magazine editor William Sitwell quits over his 'kill vegans' email

The email reads: "Hi Selene. Thanks for this.

"How about a series on killing vegans, one by one. Ways to trap them? How to interrogate them properly?

"Expose their hypocrisy? Force-feed them meat? Make them eat steak and drink red wine?"

This horrid bitch couldn't take "no" for an answer...couldn't have some sense of propriety and humor or adult thoughts, and had to run to her safe space and try to punish the bad man who said mean things!

I hope she fails as a journalist and spends the rest of her days tending her cats and counting the undigested quinoa seeds in her feces. She has already failed as a human being, but judging by the standards of her profession, that is probably an advantage.

******

Horrible man, isn't he? So detached and cold and unable to connect with real Americans. And his wife? Awful. What's she wearing?


I absolutely love this video, because it shows the man we elected. He walked past his handlers and security to greet the people who called out to him, and his wife was right behind, being open and pleasant and damned elegant.

******

What a typical Leftist! He shows up at a memorial and conveniently forgets the reason for the event, and simply treats it like any other stop on his long and pathetic road to the Iowa caucuses where he will be slapped down by pretty much everyone with a pulse and a moral compass.

Mourner refuses to shake de Blasio's hand at terror attack memorial

Hugh Hales-Tooke stared straight ahead and refused to acknowledge de Blasio’s presence as Hizzoner stuck out his hand while greeting those gathered to grieve the eight people mowed down by a truck-driving terrorist on the pathway a year ago.

Hales-Tooke said his friend Monica Missio, whose son Nicholas Cleves died in the massacre, missed the event because she was only told about it late Tuesday afternoon and was out of town.

“She’s very hurt. She was very hurt,” he told The Post.

Wow.

📺 Also that train full of military some Moron linked to. Probably not really sending that many tanks to the border, but if the invasion forces saw this and think it's real, that's okay with me.

Plus an entirely separate Halloween playlist, which you missed, but you can enjoy while eating leftover candy today.

57 It amazes me when you see these candid videos of people who like Trump and then you see Trump just walk over and being normal. It warms my heart to see things like this. I would love to watch a ball game with Trump, but alas, It would be a huge wast of his time to sit with me. He's got a world to lead.


It really is quite a juxtaposition with Barky who just couldn't appear normal. He was always that kid in HS that was affecting a posture depending on the situation he was in.

It's become exceedingly obvious how broken polls are with the early voting numbers.

Whether it's intentional or not (probably a mix) is up for debate, but it's pretty unmistakable now that polling doesn't really reflect reality.

79 Darnitall, I missed the art thread.

Still recovering from a very nice and enjoyable Halloween with lots of polite children and parents. My kids make fun of me, but after a few years of not very many trickortreaters, I was very happy to see youngsters again. One little boy (maybe 2yo) was insisting on coming in to kiss the doggies. Good thing I am used to herding grandkids or that child would have released the hounds. I decided to crate the dogs because they are just too big and loud for most kids now -- maybe next year I can let them free.

But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me

90 Not as much as I used to. Of course I went through life feeling like I'd missed some sort of critical learning at some point and that was why my life sucked...and as it turns out, I probably DID...

Yeah. I never learned how to navigate this shitpile called life, how to deal with people, how to get what I needed and wanted out of life, how to protect myself from other people (aside from physically)... There's a lot missing.

91 My sister called me day before yesterday. She told me the doctor has given her one to three months after a lengthy battle with cancer. She has long been a vegan. I know that there is some evidence that vegans suffer cancer more frequently than us omnivores. I can't help but wonder if her efforts at health and morality had some role in her illness. (I have not and will not share these thoughts with her.)

She says she's not afraid to die and that she is tired of fighting the pain. She knows Heaven awaits. She wants to have an early Christmas because she has already bought presents for us and wants to give them to us.

pretending to be nurses I heard the same couple voices over and over

Yup.

You know who registered Republicans, where their president has a near 90% party approval vote for?

The democrat!! The polls say so.

Back here in reality? They vote for the party.

PS: IIRC, Friday and Saturday before election day are something like where 25% of all early votes are cast.
By Sunday, the good campaigns already know who won; they'll have solid data on half to 2/3 of the outcome. That is, 1/2 to 2/3 of the vote has been cast.

NB: Unless I'm missing it, I'm not seeing any close-in-polling race where the Dems have an early vote lead.

However an insurer that left OH in I believe 2017 has come back into our market. Higher deductible and I will have to give up my primary care physician which is no biggy for me. My new deductible will be $683/month.

Right -- that Drew and Dakota each had both a parent and a grandparent who were in the acting profession. Dakota is Melanie Griffith's daughter, and Melanie is Tippi Hedren's daughter.

If we restrict it to "an actress whose mother and grandmother were both actresses," then Drew would be out (?).

I keep thinking that Annabeth Gish should count, as her grandmother was silent star Lillian Gish, but I don't know about the generation in between.

Yeah, it's a dumb joke, obviously not meant to be taken seriously, and obviously meant to cause offence, but did vegan writer really do anything wrong or offensive to warrant such a response? (besides being vegan, of course, i mean, wtf.)

A simple "F*ck You, No" would have sufficed. I kinda thing the editor is pretty squarely in the wrong here...

But I don't think he should be fired over it. The scalp hunting culture has gotten ridiculous. Still, it's not like he didn't do anything wrong. Give him a fine or a punishment or a paycut or some other internal slap on the wrist and get on with your lives.

And vegan girl should just say, "yeah, F that guy" and get on with her life.

Of course, none of that will happen though, because Crazy.

don't eat meat (which I do), then I'm somehow causing them moral pain.
Which is silly, of course.

But, if they see the eating of animals as murder in much the same
way that we see abortion as murder, then it would fit their moral code
to try and get people to stop eating meat through any means necessary.



From persuasion to government force and everything in between.

Right. The militant vegans believe they're right, no doubt about that. I don't see the point in arguing with them. It's their religion. Plain and simple.

I'm actually talking about the meat eaters, who can sometimes be overly... critical, shall we say, of people who prefer not to eat meat.

It is cheaper to feed him steak and pork (for that matter Chicken) when it is on sale than lunch meat or hamburger when it is not. We just stock up. You want to feed a large family? BUY A FREEZER and buy all the good deals you can! By the way, it is easy to cook a steak from frozen just chuck it in a iron skillet and cook as normal till medium rare.. easy peasy! Eat meat!, eating Vegetables makes Larry the Cucumber cry!

Trump is not an intellectual--acording to Jonah Goldberg in that video linked here last night.

He says that he doubts "Trump has read a book in decades."

Big fucking deal. Reading books is not all that it's cracked up to
be. I've read many. But I'm not qualified to e POTUS. And does Goldberg
think that Hillary has read any books in "decades?"

I love all the people who look down there noses at people who "don't read books". What they mean is they "don't read the books I read". Bet you a million bucks Trump can read a contract or specifications for building better than most.

I am forever reading up on "how to" stuff. Even if I have no intent on doing the activity. Learning how things work is a useful thing. Hell, even a show like Dirty Jobs will give the viewer a perspective on how an actual civilized world works. When was the last time Jonah Goldberg read a how to book and then did something useful with his hands other than give Capt Bill a rubby.

I don't eat red meat, and not too much fowl. Mainly fish when I ingest the animal kingdom.


My brother keeps trying to be a vegan. It is very difficult to stay vegan when one is a 6 foot tale male who has health issues. When he stays with me I try to indulge his stupid fantasy, but it's hard. The other nite we were at a diner and he was going to order whatever greenery he usually does. I stopped that nonsense. "Order that Reuben sandwich, it looks great!"


I don't care what he does on his own time but when he's with me he has to be a meat eater, otherwise he is foraging in the kitchen every damn 20 minutes. He devoured the reuben sandwich and was good for about 2 hours, praise you Lord.

445 I love all the people who look down there noses at people who "don't read books". What they mean is they "don't read the books I read". Bet you a million bucks Trump can read a contract or specifications for building better than most.

There's a lot to that.

In grad school I had a prof who assigned reading of some of the most lefty, off base economists ever. It got so bad that after he assigned me some Galbraith to read that I went to his office to complain. I told him that Galbraith was so wrong about so much that if he said the sun was shining I'd still look out the window.

He said "OK - at the next class explain why."

And he meant it. Dawned on me that he wasn't giving us this crap to indoctrinate us...it was to challenge us.

Goldberg isn't of that mold.

It's fun to point out and identify different types of intellect. My wife says she doesn't have a very good memory, and doesn't read too much. And yet, if you ask her about a theme song of any tv show in the 60's or 70's, or even any ad that was run a lot, she can spit out the entire lyrics off the top of her head, along with the tune of course. I try to play "stump the chump" but I can never come up with something she can't come up with.

and yet she doesn't have a good memory. Of course, even she points out that if that it's more of a curse than a gift, in her estimation at least.

514 By the way, it is easy to cook a steak from frozen just chuck it in a iron skillet and cook as normal till medium rare.. easy peasy!

I'd rather sous vide because it's so idiot proof. Thinner steaks are easy-peasy to cook to desired temperature, but a 2"+ thick steak in a skillet from frozen is damn easy to mess up.

Chuck that thing in a bag, sous-vide it at 133 for three hours, dry it off, sear it, finish with butter and you've got a steak to rival John Howie.

If Her Majesty has read anything more taxing than a romance novel or a breed standard, I don't know about it. But her common sense makes her so valuable a person that she's the president of one dog club, been the regional governor for two regions of our national breed club and will be the next delegate to the AKC.

546 One of the things about trying to understand God is that we're dealing with an intelligence so far beyond our own we barely have any concept how He thinks. An all-seeing, all-knowing hyperintelligence will, by definition, have a very different view of what is "best" for us. Faith steps in where we believe, without being able to prove it, that His conception is, in fact, best, and that we can be happy as a result.

Honestly, I think it is easier for folks of average or lower intelligence. The mind doesn't race around and trip itself up so often.

Never expose black pepper to direct searing heat like that (sautee or grill or open flame or whatever)

It's akin to smoking your sauteeing fat. Rancid, nasty, off-notes come out.

Pepper loves heat to pull out the oils and do its thing. It doesn't like super high heat though. If you like black pepper with red meat, add it either at the very end, or during the deglaze/montee phase.

Ultimately that's were all sin and conflict comes from: the assumption that I know better than God. Its a constant battle, and its pretty arrogant of me, really. What does HE know, He only created everything and is omniscient, all-wise, perfectly just and so righteous that the very definition of the world comes from God.

I agree. The more God gifts you with mental agility and insight, the more you are tempted to consider yourself smarter than you are. I know that I have run into this time after time.

The Jews used to have a system for this, if two Rabbis "with authority" were to speak for you, they could transfer their authority to you, and you became a Rabbi "with authority" to teach new interpretations.

You'll remember the Scribes and Teachers of Law (Rabbis without authority) asked Jesus by what authority does he teach what he teaches--and Jesus asks them by what authority did John teach.

660 Australia is clever like Hungary about how to handle the attempt to overrun them with immigrants - they have a separate station on an atoll where they process them until they realize "uh, maybe this was a mistake. Maybe we should search for easier pickings elsewhere". But recently they've admitted some of the chilluns into Australia for medical examinations. Why not send their doctors to the atoll? I really hope it's not the camel's nose under the tent.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The island party's over on Indy's south side.

Cheeseburger in Paradise located at 4670 Southport Crossings Dr. has closed. A sign outside the business informs customers about the closure.

"It is with great regret that we must inform you that Cheeseburger in Paradise in Indianapolis will close on Tuesday, August 21, 2018," the sign said.

As of Tuesday morning, the website for Cheeseburger in Paradise listed only two locations: Secaucus, New Jersey; and Omaha, Nebraska.

663 When I was a little girl I was sure the squiggles on Hostess Cup Cakes was a secret message in cursive that nobody would read to me. I remember thinking how unfair that nobody would tell me what it said.

Aww, poor lil Chill.

I don't know why little kids do that, so often they won't tell anyone their secret sadness or fear. When my oldest brother broke his arm as a little boy he was terrified to go to the doctor because he thought that his arm would get cut off. He didn't tell anyone until specifically asked, later.

673 @530 This is the end of a very, very long story, but I got to a point where I decided either I was wrong, or God was. After a few seconds I was bothered to realize it was probably me. It still makes me laugh. out loud.
-------------------------

There's actually two problems there. The first is coming to the realization that you're the one that's wrong. The second is figuring out why you're wrong, and how to fix that.

For instance, right now I'm trying to figure out why I can't seem to hold a job down for longer than a year, and why I'm repeatedly being put into situations in which I'm led to believe that I'm going to get something related to employment, but don't. There are enough "coincidences" involved that I'm pretty sure His hand is involved in it. But the problem is that I can't figure out the why of it, or what He's trying to get me to do.

It's very frustrating.

Why the hell would we want God to be one of us?!

Wouldn't we want him to be a better lawgiver than us? Wouldn't we want one with the power to save us from the mediocrity of what humans are and do?

All it would do is allow everybody to feel equally justified with the "slob God". And then what would that do?!

Could God even answer the followup question?! Can Hitler feel just as justified as "slob God?" He can't answer, he's just trying to "make his way home" as a bus migrant, or something.

A God who provides no eventual answers is an unneeded God.

Then when Tony Abbott came in the guy who's now PM came down hard on the process and penned them all up in Nauru, and they stopped coming.

For various reasons none of them good Abbott's own party gave him the heave-ho, and put in Malcolm Turnbull, the Minister from Goldman Sachs, a wealthy denizen of inner urban Sydney, a hardcore warmist and a squish on virtually everything the Liberal-National Coalition (the Aussie conservatives) troops in the country care about, so the boat-people containment got leaky.

Jesus was not a "slob like one of us".

John 7:24: "[I judge no one...] But even if I do judge, My judgment is true"

Have you ever tried not judging? I have and do. And it's hard.

Jesus was not a slob. He was the spotless lamb. And yet, he was like us, no doubt.

The problem isn't not getting jobs. The problem isn't not working hard, or having supervisors who are very happy with my work, and repeatedly tell me so. The problem is corporate shenanigans by individuals who've never met me.

One good thing thought is re-learning those wrong thoughts, and replacing them with true thought. I get to re-educate myself. Hard though, and takes a lot of time.

I liked how Ian Anderson put it much better:

752 I'm still 'way back at #260, but before Ace wakes up (or OM puts up a "stomp me" post)....

Tried to be a vegetarian (not vegan) once upon a time. Protein combination substitution, B vitamin supplements (with animal-origin B12, cheating), doing the things many stupid vegans and vegetarians don't do to replace what meat does.

Orrrrr.... you could order a Big Mac to go at McD's.

My vegetarianism was a kind-of self-styled Buddhistic thing, largely inspired by Be Here Now.

Speaking of which, Alpert did do some good studies in reducing recidivism among hardened criminals via LSD, before the Law stopped them.

My cats and dogs ultimately converted me to Carnivorism.

and they're coming to take me away

The nice young men in their clean white coats
who want to tell me the happy news
but I just smiled and walked away
having heard it all before.

There is nothing new on the dark side of the moon.
The widening gry of the center that can't hold
cocaine.

766 How the Hell can you cook anything in a vacuum? It blocks heat transfer, which why there are Thermos bottles.

Heh. Thermos bottles have a small space between the inner and outer walls. The vacuum between the walls prevents heat transfer by convection.

When you put a steak in a vacuum sealed bag, you're removing any air from the bag that would, if present, provide insulation from the heat in the water. With no air insulation in the bag, there is a direct path from the water to the bag to the meat for heat convection transfer.

The secular prog metal band Haken has a new song that has provoked some of my meditation on God and us:
---
It's the beauty in the flaw
It's the grace of imperfection
---
We are imperfect. It was God's plan that we be.

I put forward the case that what the Problem of Evil ignores, is how it frames us as neutral observers--or at least passive recipients--of the problem of evil. But we're the load that has to be carried to permit Evil: We're Evil.
