Imgur Style ONT

Join us now as we enter the uncharted wilds of the internet for...

...an image dump.

If you think political debate in the US is rough, you should see it in Europe. Try the Polandball Reddit for starters.

I wonder why those pushing us to run the republic based upon a Emma Lazarus poem never mention this?

I also wish that more people on our side would make arguments like this. SS is the biggest con-job in Washington.

I try to keep abreast of weather news. Mmmmmm Polar vortex.....

The barter economy

Tonight's ONT brought to you by schadenboners:

The relationship between your degree and your field of work

When I was going to college, my major was "telecommunications" (really radio and TV).

EVERYTHING I learned about both industries has since been more or less completely blown up and replaced by new technologies, especially the web.

88 Brazil's army needs to seize Columbia's southern border, and Columbia's army needs to seize the western border. They could do it quite easily, Venezuela doesn't have any serious amounts of troops stationed there, they're needed to keep the lid on the rest of teh country. That'd give Guiado some space to set up a provisional government. Let Caracas rot for a while. There would be almost no actual fighting, especially if Brazil and Columbia both came in with at least division sized strength.

95 legal insurrection wants you to know that snopes fact checks the babylon bee:

While Empire actor Jussie Smollett has been having a tough week so far, there appears to be a silver lining: cable news channel CNN has offered Smollett a job as an investigative reporter and on-air anchor after witnessing his skills at fabricating a story entirely out of thin air.

CNN producers were reportedly impressed throughout the ongoing saga of Smollett's apparent hoax attack on himself. They realized early on the facts didn't add up but were fascinated with how well the actor kept the narrative going. An HR rep quickly reached out to Smollett to see if he'd be interested in taking on a position at the news organization after news broke that the entire thing was probably fabricated.

Many of the surveyors in our office were just young working guys who found the job they really liked.

As for the engineers, well, they knew what they wanted from the get-go. Engineers are weird fuckers.

Well, I know somebody on every team so far. And I've played on teams with both Alex Jacob and Colby Burnett. But I'd only really call Colby a friend. And Pam is both very nice and very hot. Frankly I think Buzzie is the 2nd worst captain talent wise and the 3rd player they have is mediocre, but Alex is really good. But Brad's team is probably the best. I underestimated how good Larissa is, and Dave is also super good.

Tucker interviewed and tolerated this stupid bastard until you could almost hear him grinding his teeth. But the asshole reached a level of intolerable that even Tucker couldn't be patient with.

So , Tucker, feeling like he wasted his time , cussed this mofo out and sent him packing back to the Paradise of Netherlandistan - empty-handed and deplatformed.

239 Speaking of movies I saw Hereditary recently - some spoilers below.

The movie centers around a cult trying to summon a demon called Paimon.

So after I watched the movie I searched and sure enough the film makers had used a demon from actual medieval demonology sources - way to go script writers!

And then I noticed my google search was full of people talking about how *they* summoned Paimon in rituals of various stupidity/silliness (before the movie came out as well).

Welcome to 2019 everyone, we can access medieval demonology manuscripts and try to summon them in our own homes. WOOHOO. We live in stupid times.

----------------------

Good Afternoon!

I am writing today to express my interest in an Inside Sales/Customer Service position with Everdry.

As the attached resume will show, I have bee in Sales, Account Management and Project my entire career. I would appreciate the opportunity to talk to someone about the possibility of putting this experience to work for Everdry. Client satisfaction and technical understanding of services/products has been a passion my entire career.

A little bit about my situation. An injury has left me partially handicapped about a year ago. This only involves some difficulty with mobility and a partial use of my strong right hand. The only accommodations I would need would be a headset/mic for phone work and the ability to key in all necessary forms/correspondence rather than handwriting them.

I decided to approach your company after speaking to some friends in the area that know my situation about companies to look at working for. Everdry came up not just once, but several times. This was due not only to your quality of service, but also the friendly work environment there. This a company I feel I could represent with enthusiasm and confidence.

Thank you for your time and consideration today. I will call tomorrow afternoon to follow up on this message.

Best Regards.

Out of those movies you listed, Signs has the most rewatch power. Yes, it's a pretty dumb story with big logic holes... but, it's told well enough to overcome it's failings.

273 Anybody else hear about the latest diamond mining tech?

It actually works pretty simply:

1. Get a bunch of SJWs in one room
2. Insert coal into their anuses.
3. Lock them in and force them to listen to extremely un-PC jokes for a week.

After just 7 days, you'll be neck-deep in diamonds. It really works!

Before this fiasco, I never heard of him either, but now there are pics of him and his family all over the internet showing them with prominent democrats at all kinds of political events.

Fair enough.

When I counsel students on interviewing for jobs, we stress that they do not promote any limitations, but hospitality industry is perhaps different.

If recruiters are advising you to present it, go for it.

And I hope you nail it! You've got some good will coming your way!

I think the tone is good, as is the explanation of your interest in the company.

Including the negatives, can be a toss up, but as an employer, I would appreciate the honesty upfront and the negatives wouldn't be a deterrent if your skills were needed.

The first two lines in the fourth paragraph should be cleaned up.

Your interest, skills, and why you would be a good match should have prominence with negatives only mentioned for honesty.

Good luck!

Good Afternoon!

I am writing today to express my interest in an Inside Sales/Customer Service position with Everdry.

As the attached resume will show, I have been in Sales, Account Management and Project for XX years. I would like to use this experience for Everdry. Client satisfaction and technical understanding of services/products has been a passion my entire career.

I would require minor accommodations for the position. An injury has left me partially handicapped about a year ago. The injury creates some difficulty with mobility and allows a partial use of my strong right hand. I would need a headset/mic for phone work and the ability to key in all necessary forms/correspondence rather than handwriting them as accommodations.

Everdry came up not just once, but several times as I spoke with friends in the area about potential employment opportunities for my skills and my physical requirements. This was due not only to your quality of service, but also the friendly work environment there. Everdry is a company I feel I could represent with enthusiasm and confidence.

Thank you for your time and consideration today. I will call tomorrow afternoon to follow up on this message. I look forward to an opportunity to discuss in person my qualifications for an Inside Sales/Customer Service position.

Best Regards.

352 tip #1 on quitting any habit: instead of thinking "I won't do x", think/say " I don't do x"

frex "I dont smoke"t

tip #2- look into mindfulness (practice just sitting and paying passive attention to your breathing)- way to short circuit habits
Posted by: votermom pimping NEW Moron-authored books! at February 21, 2019 11:08 PM (BJlbN)

I haven't tried tip #2 but #1 is spot-on. When I quit smoking and a craving hit I would repeat "I am a non-smoker" to myself until it passed.

363 They tend to name their children stupid shit like Jussie or Shaquiqua.

His name is Justin. He goes by Jussie, not sure why, as I had never heard of him before this went down, but it sounds like a Billy-for-William type nickname. I do not like the Shaquiqua crap, but it's mostly in ghetto areas, and poor blacks are not the only poor people who give their children what they feel are fancy names to offset the poverty they are reared in. (They also tend to name their kids things like Prince, Queen, etc. I dully expect a crap of Duchesses in the near future) I think at one point there was also an intent to make it seem exotic and African in an attempt to connect to some sort of heritage.Doesn't bother me as much as people like the Geldofs and Zappas giving their children bizarre names.

He said 'on his behalf', so that counts the employer half of the contribution, too.

So, with the 2018 withholding limit at an income of $128,400, and the combined employer/employee pay-in of 12.4%, that's $15921.60 "on his behalf" this year.

At that rate, to get to "over 600K", you'd have to pay in for just under 38 years. 38 years from 67 is only 29.

Yes, the limits were lower in the past, but they'll be higher in the future, too.

Not mathematically impossible, in other words. It just requires you to get to the withholding limit in your 30s, if you started working at 16.

384 The thing about Dem panic over black male political temperature is plausible.

Recall the unbelievable "put you in chains" outrage by the dimwit Biden. The degradation of the Dems - and their racially defined target voter groups - is so profound that even the most outlandish explanations deserve a look.

Endorsing REPARATIONS? Introducing an ANTI-LYNCHING LAW?

They pay zero penalty, but the heavy-handed racism, cynicism, clumsiness, and arrogance of the Dems are mind-boggling.

One other related thinggy. One of their presumed favored mindless race/gender vote-generating gambits - black female candidate!!! - is of very dubious value when it comes to precisely the demo in question (black males over 30, I'm guessing). Uh uh. Not much traction there.

But a lot of people have been walking up to this line, and he's the one who finally stepped over it, and he's expendable. So the progs are soft on illegals, soft on Covington, soft on trans in girls restrooms? This is a great chance to go tough. I don't think black Chicagoans stuck with a third world murder rate are going to side with a ghey TV star against a black Police Chief who talked about all the resources sqandered by this punk. They've set this up with the Police Chief (Robinson) and the Asst State's Attorney (Lanier?), both of whom came across today on TV as serious, sober public servants. No television cameras will be allowed within 100 ft of the mayor. (Trip to Miami like Al Capone?) And I don't know what's up with this, but evidently the State's Attorney skipped to California?

The book 'Rise and Kill First' talks a lot about the Israeli creativity creating and employing bombs.

The author REALLY hate Sharon, though and doesn't seem to approve of killing terrorists this way. He also asserts that Israel drove Pali's out of country in 194, which is apparently a very controversial statement. Pissed JJ off when I mentioned it.

479 I'm not gonna look into it that much, but for those interested, I recommend you read Techno Fog's twatter feed for Epstein case material. He seems to have shown that the then-Deputy AG approved the plea deal.

I have no clue as to the merits of the situation, but it sounds a bit, um, concerning. Dozens of young victims, they/their legal teams not advised about some aspects of plea deal, etc. Acosta was US Atty in Miami at the time.

Whether it's an American Rotterham, I don't know. But based on a cursory look, it smells that way.

(OK, it can't really be compared to Rotterham or the other similar situations in the UK, which boggle the mind and pretty much remove any confidence in *that* society WRT various important things - but it might have some ugly parallels)

The girls were definitely underaged ( mid to late teens, I think) , and therefore unable to consent or legally make any decisions, but most of them did go willingly, and plenty of them knew what they were going to, although I don't think they exactly knew how far they would be made to go. IIRC, they sent young teens out to recruit, and told them they could make thousands of dollars for giving a few older guys messages and blowjobs, or something.

NOT DEFENDING HIM. Just saying the news makes it sound like he kidnapped a bunch of 7 year olds and forced them into being sex slaves. And there was a girl who said he kept her as a sex slave when she was 17 and passed her around.
Not sure why this wasn't a bigger scandal then, since Clinton and Prince Andrew were implicated, but now I think it's partly also a way to try and investigate Trump further, because they were friends of sorts.

514 Illegal who was permanently retired by Napa County sheriff deputy apparently had been subject of ICE detainer request 4 times in the past. Apparently, none honored - not clear if any/all were in Napa Co. Guy attempted to shoot/kill deputy during traffic stop, she was the faster/better shot.

We are witnessing something that is truly amazing (in a bad, horrible way) - law enforcement agencies actively helping potential/likely cop-killers avoid deportation. That is the practical bottom line here.

WTF do these sheriffs and their subordinates think? Why do they comply with obviously idiotic/dangerous policies that endanger THEM in particular, when they routinely ignore or soft-pedal many laws for many different reasons?

And they're also endangering the entire society. Collaboration in invasion, murder, and mayhem - not a real good look for "law enforcement".

I looked up images of both 1948 Rolls, and 1948 Daimler. The car pictured looks closer to the Daimler than the Rolls. Rolls had a flatter roof line, and in side view had an arch motif to them. Daimler were more square, seen side-on.

Of course, in that era, both marques could be had with coach-built bodies. A good pic of the radiator grille would tell the tale.

559 I think the creek crossing car is something smaller than a Rolls or a Daimler.

Certainly, a Brit or European marque, the lines demand it.

But whether it's a U.K. product, or French or German, I simply can't make out from the image.

Size wise, it's a notch under those mentioned in the my initial sentence. It's mounted on the chaise though, without wheels or tires. I suspect this is to minimize the total height of the carried load.

Best I can make out it has a BIT of a rounded profile at the top of the hood/grille junction. Not quite as sloped as a Renault though.

Damn sure not as squared off as a Rolls.

Rear quarter windows behind the back seats are full-sized in comparison to the windows on the four doors. That segment of the car seems a bit unique as to it's apparent era... perchance, a clue?

So, your locale is being populated by foreigners.

Not a damn thing you can do about it, and it's a tide that cannot be stopped.

Race, Ethnicity or Religion are all in the mix and on the menu.

Who do you WANT for your new neighbors?

Do NOT reply as to who you DON'T want. That'd be racist, and upset the Ewok in Chief.

Me, of all the "vibrant" communities...

I'd happily live amongst the Phillipinos, Vietnamese, Hmong, Cambodians. Grew up around 'em a lot in Southern CA in the '70s, and got along fine.

Going westward in the Old World, gimme a buncha Sikh's....pretty much the Texans of the Subcontinent, as it were.

At present, my neighbors are El Salvadoran, Chinese, Mexican, Argentinian, Columbian, Texican and various mixes of African American.

Lentils. Turns out I just "pulled" the smoked turkey leg meat for the lentil soup that's been cooking all day/night in the slow cooker. Lentils are old-ish, probably have required extra cooking time. Almost done (I started late, not early morning as planned). Will just leave it overnight, adjust seasonings in the morning, freeze most of it.

But no Nepalese seasoning. Just black pepper and dried (home-grown) oregano. Yellow bell peppers, yellow onions. Very simple.

The pangs of humor lost, the heh's delay,
The insolence of ye Magyar, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy punnery,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare boobie? Aye and even two?
Who would fardels bear,
Or Duck Duck to find the meaning of such,

The undiscovered country, from whose Barrel
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
And that is, is what we make

In regard to us being up the in the murder rate compared to other countries, you could leave all those shit-hole urban areas and count the murders the same way they do and we would not be there. And prime example of that is in the actual cities listed there. Is one missing?

Funny, landed at Biak once en route to Bali. There was a little bit of info up on the walls of the lounge about US landings there - but I didn't know about the scrapping. Have heard/read similar stories that tear at the soul about aircraft and other treasures trashed in '45.

707 I read the article but I disagree Democrats are not colluding with the carrels. Their protection of our misguided and boneheaded immigration policies are unwittingly helping the cartels to make enormous fortunes from migrant smuggling but the Democrat party is not engaged in a conspiracy with the leadership of the drug cartels.

As to the Cravans, that is a growing crises and I'm besides myself why nobody in Washington is even talking about solutions. Even Trump (who as far as I know hasn't spoken up recently for asylum reform).

I fear a disaster is coming that could have unpredictable political consequences. What happens, for example, that some reckless migrant get's their child killed by attempting to get them over one of the newer, higher 18 foot walls? The cries from the media to tear down Trump's "dangerous" wall could be deafening. The administration needs to take this crises seriously and come up with a solution that ends the chaos of desperate people trying to set foot into the U.S. by any means necessary. The ideal solution is for Democrats to actually agree to change the law to disallow any applications for asylum for those crossing illegally, to remove the incentive. Short of that, my idea for a short term solution -- and this isn't going to be popular with everyone here -- is to literally bus them ourselves from Honduras into the U.S. where they'll be given expedited hearing for their case for asylum -- and if they don't pass, which will be the vast majority, we bus them back down again. The cartels are a terrorist organization, and trafficking Central American's have become their number one source of income. Taking such a drastic and expensive measure to screw them over is worth it.

710 Serious Cat.... The MSM is gonna cry about anything we do, so [push that aside.

What if we just enforce the laws on the books already and:
* Quickly deport illegal aliens when we find them during traffic stops and warehouse raids.
* Arrest and prosecute businesses who hire illegal aliens.
* Arrest and prosecute public servants such as mayors, judges, city councilmen, and congressmen who refuse to cooperate with ICE.
There will not be any meaningful reduction in the presence of illegal aliens until there are real, swift and painful consequences for being an illegal alien for facilitating their presence here.

As far as 'the cartels' go, they're here and they ain't going anywhere, anytime soon, if ever. They're affiliated with local and national gangs and I'd be willing to bet they're deeply embedded in the government by way of bribery and extortion. If you doubt that, look at Mexico's government and compare and contrast their institutions behaviors with ours.

The only way to rid ourselves of the cartels is to kill them and to destroy everything associated with them.

743 So - that shooting stat poster is a real winner. And we should put that everywhere. "You know, if it weren't for Democratic gun control cities we would not have any gun problem at all. Statistically the problem only exists there."

The other one is "hate crime" statistics - imma gonna have to find it but I recall reading somewhere that the Federal "hate crime" statistics count all Aryan Brotherhood and similar race based groups' attacks in prison as "hate crimes" and that, if you take all that bullshit out, the level of hate crimes goes from: "Gee, that's really nothing statistically;" to: "That's less than f*cking nothing statistically."

As someone smarter than I once said: "There are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics."

Reparations? OK.

Where and when were your ancestors deported from Africa?

How much are you and all your relations here now assets worth now?

What is the difference between those current assets and a typical citizen of your ancestors' residence?

Pay the USA the diffefence, compounded with interest over generations, for the citizens of the USA giving you a better life you would have otherwise..

That is how a discussion on reparations should begin.

That is not the half of it. Probably a good half of the Caucasian population of this country's ancestors were not even on this continent, and were in no way involved with slavery (said ancestors not having got here until the late 19th/early 20th centuries, long after the slavery issue was settled), yet they are expected to pay up for these "reparations"?

That is what he whole white privilege movement has been about. Getting white people used to the idea that they have unearned benefit from slavery or something even though they and their ancestors were not involved. . A large segment (the brain dead segment) has accepted this already.

785 Lots of bogus "historical" quotes on the internet, but surprisingly the quote re: Statue of Liberty dedication is pretty accurate. I researched the quote, and it comes from a lengthy speech by politico Chauncey M. Depew at the end of the dedication in 1886. The actual quote refers to the statue: "The rays from this beacon, lighting this gateway to the continent, will welcome the poor and the persecuted with the hope and promise of homes and citizenship. It will teach them that there are room and brotherhood for all who will support our institutions and aid in our development; but that those who come to disturb our peace and dethrone our laws are aliens and enemies forever."

Just in case a lefty questions the veracity of the quote...
