Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of The ONT

There's been a lot of talk about the UK elections over the past two days, it reminded me of this cartoon.

Ruled Britania.jpg

America is still the best idea Britain ever had.

Of Course, We're Not Without Problems


The Cost of America’s Cultural Revolution


And this just makes me angrier and angrier the more I think about it.

Confidential documents reveal U.S. officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan

All those lives wasted, and for what? We had no plan for success, and lack the will to do what would be necessary to truly change the country for the better (basically full on Roman-style imperialism with a multi-generational commitment to ruthless sublimation of the existing culture to ours). Instead we've been lying and lying and lying, all the while pissing away the lives of some of our best and brightest. I think I hate the neo-cons more for this than I do for their craven refusal to oppose the left in any way that would interfere with their posh lifestyles of unearned status.


And In Some Ways We're Struggling

Small-town America fights for its life

But Where Else Would You Rather Be?

New Zealand: Not the Paradise Americans Think It Is

You think China is the wave of the future? Well, maybe, but I doubt it. They're like the electric car: Always the next big thing, yet somehow never the current big thing.

The United States Should Fear a Faltering China

In the 80s it was Japan that was going to bury us. Well, look how that turned out. China could go the same way – if we only have the balls to act aggressively in our own self-interest. Frankly, I'm not sanguine.


Plus, We've Got Penis Fish!

Porn


Last week a fascinating fight erupted on Twitter between “conservatives” and libertarian types. The “conservatives” proposed banning porn. I get the point – porn can be very damaging to individuals and to a society:

How Porn Fuels Sex Trafficking

However, I've been putting “conservative” in quotes because I don't know what the hell you'd be conserving by facilitating the massive police state and government intervention that would be necessary to ban porn. It certainly isn't ordered liberty, and if you're not conserving that, what's left? We talk about the blessings of liberty, but liberty from what? The ONLY thing that we need liberty from is the GOVERNMENT. Unless it's something extreme, like abortion, where the issue is people being killed and thus being deprived of their right to life (related: Planned Parenthood Honors King Herod With Lifetime Achievement Award), empowering government never increases liberty, it only curtails it. Liberty is messy, and sometimes it means that some people will drink themselves to death or throw away their relationships in order to masturbate all day. Liberty means allowing people to fuck up – and the giving them the space to deal with the consequences of their fuck ups.

13 It was a cold and windy night. The rain beat on the roof. The lights flickered, sometimes blacked out for minutes. The old frame building shook around me like a shivering dog. I stirred the logs in the fireplace, and watched the tongues of flame flare back up from the coals. The thought unbidden came to me, "Just like the flaming skulls." Although I was warm, I shuddered.

To my great surprise, there came a loud banging at the door. I heard someone shouting over the howl of the wind, but could not make out whose voice it was nor what they said.

I removed the board holding the door closed, pushed the latch, and the heavy wooden slab blew inward with a great gust of snow. There stood a man unknown to me, his wool cap and cloak, and his long, scruffy beard, all encrusted with ice. His eyes were steely-blue and hard, I saw immediately.

Before I even had the courtesy to ask him in, "What could possibly bring you out on a night like his, stranger?"

He leaned forward and shouted over the wind, "The Friday Overnight Open Thread is up!" He staggered in a step, crumpled forward, and that's when I saw the knife sticking out of his back.

With his last breath, he gasped, "And Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself."

The question I always wander into on these is how much can you actually enforce something that has a negative effect on your culture by making it illegal?

It certainly did not work with prohibition. It does not seem to work with drugs.

Hell, even stuff that the left is trying to culturally stigmatize- like guns- does not seem to be working and simply making people go out and buy more (and I agree completely with that.)

Speaking of the Epstein mess, reading the Daily Mail, I see they've unearthed that Randy Andy was making a few junkets to Thailand. Nothing untoward there, I'm sure.

Once again, I have to object to this, though I am not a neocon. The real neocons (Irving Kristol, Jeanne Kirkpatric, Richard Neuhaus, et al) simply were NOT advocates of "nation building". Their hawkishness was entirely directed at winning the Cold War (unless you count support for Israel).

That a later generation wrapped themselves in the title, does not make them neocons. Check out Norman Podhoretz, one of the few who are still alive.

45 New Zealand: Not the Paradise Americans Think It Is

I've had a couple of fairly lengthy visits to New Zealand.

Remarkably, New Zealand is insular, as benefits one of the most isolated spots on the planet.

They don't even like Australians very much.

It's a good culture, but it is very self-contained.

I was fascinated to read that Facebook frequently uses New Zealand as a test bed for new initiatives - New Zealand is English speaking, and New Zealand Facebook users don't interact very much with people outside of New Zealand, so Facebook can use New Zealand to test things, without a lot of spillover into other countries.

87 "I don't know what the hell you'd be conserving by facilitating the massive police state and government intervention that would be necessary to ban porn."

Porn was banned in the past, and there wasn't a massive police state and government intervention, and the country was plenty free. What you'd be conserving would be a traditional culture of self-restraint and moral behavior. What you'd be conserving would be kids spending their childhood not being exposed to easily available extreme depictions of degeneracy.

92 >> But what is this doing to the values of our young horniny teenagers??

There is research on that, and it's not good. The boys are ODing on the stuff, and it's messing them up.

As we've talked about before, in my day back in the '80s, porn was hard to get. You couldn't OD on. Hell, if the internet had been available to young Publius around 13 or so, I'd have fapped myself to death probably.

We're running the experiment and we'll find out what happens.

93 However, I've been putting "conservative" in quotes because I don't know what the hell you'd be conserving by facilitating the massive police state and government intervention that would be necessary to ban porn. It certainly isn't ordered liberty, and if you're not conserving that, what's left?
_______

1. It just isn't necessarily so that breaking bad on porn would entail a "massive police state" etc. It could be done on the level of the anti-smoking campaign.

2. It could, so far as law is concerned, be much gentler, like simply making it much harder for kids to get access by punishing those who make it so. Of course, that won't end it, but it CAN make a difference. (When I was young, I thought that the anti-smoking zealots could not win. Well, they've sure conquered a lot of territory.)

3 Uh, what they are conserving is a nation and a culture. It just isn't so that "ordered liberty" is the only point of America. Claiming that is so is begging the question. People should really think more deeply about the matter.

Let me point it out this way: Freedom cannot be a good, in the primary sense, because when asked why you did something, it makes no sense to say "Because I was free to do so."

4. It is simply false to say that "The ONLY thing that we need liberty from is the GOVERNMENT." People who live where government has broken down soon discover that the claim is a first world problem.

Libertarianism is just another way to spell "paranoia."

Reminds me an episode from the season of Supernatural where the apocalypse was happening. The Whore of Babylon makes an appearance as the daughter of a preacher in a small town posing as a prophet. First it's sending the congregation after demons, then it's going after the less devout of the town getting to where they are going to kill them. And then she goes to the preacher/father when he tries to stop her that he better back off or she would name his as the next that needed to die.

101 This is why it should only be legal if it's introduced by someone in a white lab coat.

Years ago, Palo Alto had a couple of massage parlors, which the city government was very embarrassed by. The massage parlors persisted, despite periodic crackdowns.

So the city government thought that they would fix the problem by passing a law saying everyone working in the massage parlor would have to wear medical uniforms.

It was then pointed out that perhaps this would not reduce the allure of the massage parlors for some people.

Not arguing that, but the culture changed as well or it would not have been made suddenly legal?

I'd argue that the cultural movement always was going to end up here, porn or no.

126 "The Right" has, I think, been traditionally defined by two poles: Personal Freedom, and Stability. Libertarians, who seek to maximize personal freedom, anchored the far right while conservatives made up the more moderate wing that constituted the middle of the political spectrum. Most people on the right fell somewhere between those two values, balancing the two when considering various political issues. "The Left" was similarly aligned between radical equality (progressivism) and Stability, where moderate and blue-collar Dems fell. Much of the professional conservative movement has shifted towards the libertarian side of things over the years, and increasingly disregards the importance of stability.

157 well, this is from the WSJ today (a few hours ago):

The Supreme Court agreed Friday to consider President Trumps legal efforts to block congressional and criminal subpoenas for his financial records, scheduling March arguments for a trio of blockbuster cases that could have lasting implications for the presidency.

The high court is the president's last hope to stop House investigators and New York state prosecutors from probing his financial dealings dating back nearly a decade, and potentially longer. Lower courts upheld the subpoenas, which were served not on Mr. Trump himself but an accounting firm and two banks that hold the records.

Pornhub has a 2019 year in review stats article as well.

In 2019, 6.83M new videos were uploaded to the site. It would take 169 years of continuous viewing for one person to watch that total.

Porhub's data totals: 6.6 exabytes of data were transferred. That's 18 petabytes per day, or 209 GB per second.

Yeah, folks, I think the porn genie is out of the bottle. ROFL. 18 petabytes of porn per day, and that's just Pornhub.

In Korea, they are eaten as food,[5] often raw with salt and sesame oil or gochujang. They are distributed in Korea, Japan, and the Pacific coast.

In Chinese cuisine, the worm is stir-fried with vegetables, or dried and powdered to be used as an umami enhancer.

192 168, One California jurisdiction did just that in the day. They charged the producers of the pron video as panderers (pimps) and the actors/actresses as prostitutes because they were paid to do it. Notice that no First Amendment problem ensued.

In the case of Stanley v. GA, the Supreme Court ruled that someone had the right to view pron privately in their own home but not necessarily to sell it, view it in public, or provide it to others.

They put up a huge Christmas display......fine.....but it has music on a loop with the speakers pointed straight at our house turned up to 10.

I won't link to it cause it's pornhub, but you can find it. Now comes the breakdown of what's popular in various countries.

The Rooksies dig Hentai in 2019. Lesbo remains the most popular category for the US (and most of North and South America, and the UK and Aussies).

France, Germany and Iran dig anal as #1.

244 Porn is unhealthy in so many ways. To the people performing in it, suicide for one. If you've jacked off to online porn, kinda depending on how old the videos are, chances are you've been stroking it to people that are dead. Google suicide of porn "actors". Probably take you a day to go through the names. Mental illness, drug addiction, std's and the industry is so flooded with "actresses" most make little to no money. Supply and Demand. For the consumers that are addicted to it or engage in pounding there meat too often, you'll more than likely suffer from ED when you're finally with the real thing. Your ego and rep will be f'ed. Diminished ability to pair bond for both men and women. Women now days are fappin' to porn just about as much as men. I'm single and I can't believe the amount of women I've been with that watch it just to get themselves off, let alone after that F'ing 50 shades came out, now they all are Into getting choked. For men it diminishes there want to actually go out and pursue women. Why go out when you can just stay home and pound your piss pump. For f**k sake guys, nail your old lady, ease into your girlfriend instead of stroking. Yeah, porn is just F'ing grand.

Then I'd tell her that Mississippi State has a football team and a world-class program in atmospheric science should she care to learn about the actual world, and I'd propose SUNY Albany as an alternative.

273 Pron like cigarettes, gambling, vanity, sloth, excessive eating, booze, drugs, greed, promiscuity, self exploration, being a spendthrift, among others are all vices that can affect the ones around you and yourself in a negative way.

My take is that people either believe in free agency or they do not. Those that believe in free agency usually believe in liberty feel that individual virtue cannot be compelled but only demonstrated by self discipline in curbing one's appetite for vice. Those that do not believe in such support laws to prevent temptation by denial of liberty so that societal virtue is maintained.

They can make money, if they figure out how to get the money for themselves. If they work for some company, well it's like pimps, they get most of the money.

Now, from what I've read the real money for a "porn star" is in "escort work". The videos are really just advertising. For the top tier of names, rich men with more money than sense will pay like $10K a pop for a "date".

But that's only for the top tier, the most well known names.

Very powerful and effective anti-inflammatory. Also, hellacious side-effects with long term use. I've got rheumatoid arthritis, and am familiar with some of the drugs used for it.

It's fine and dandy for short term use, once in a blue moon for things, but problematic for chronic use. Sometimes it's unavoidable, for some things.

They'll probably put you on some sort of taper. Take it exactly as they tell you to, don't come off of it suddenly.

I am on and off of them quite a bit, and have been for decades, and cant say I have noticed any ill effects, other than weight gain if I am on them for months at a time, and insomnia.

My understanding (limited!) is that it "thins" the bone structure, like osteoporosis. Might want to ask about calcium supplementation.

Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at December 13, 2019 11:50 PM (bbuAG)

354 I've been on prednisone 7 months, tapering off now. Loss of bone density is the big side effect. If you are on the lower doses (5mg), it's not too bad. I don't have any problems taking it but it does tend to cause weight gain.

When you are on it, it shuts down your adrenals and your immune system. I can't get the new shingles vaccine till I've been off it 6 months. My pulmonologist gave me a list of things to be aware of as I taper down. It can be life threatening if you stop suddenly, if you've been on it any length of time.

Posted by: Notsothoreau at December 13, 2019 11:50 PM (Lqy/e)

355
I'm very sensitive to prednisone (and other similar steroid drugs).

It will act as an appetite stimulant, as Tammy mentioned. Weight gain is common.

Me, I was taking just 40mg (20 mg twice a day) and after 3 days, I was so wired I couldn't sleep. It was like speed to me. A much lower dose will do the trick with me.

Prednisone is like cortisol, the body's natural "stress hormone", but much more powerful. It is anti-inflammatory and immune suppresive. That's how it does what it does. The bad effects of long term use are due to the down side of that.

It will also increase blood sugar, and if you're borderline diabetic, it can push you over the edge.

Another side effect is gastric upset. Prednisone can do a real number on acid reflux and tear your stomach up.

362 My biggest dose was 40mg. My doctor wasn't too worried about me taking it for six months but wanted me to start tapering by then. Once I hit 10mg, he has me staying on it two weeks, then dropping down 1mg less for the next two weeks. We re-evaluate when I hit 5mg. He wants to see how my oxygen levels are on just Advair. So far, things have gone okay. It's a really effective drug.

This doctor felt that I hadn't stayed on it long enough to let my lungs heal. And we found a new home for the chickens and parrots. We've done everything that can be done to clear up any bird dander. Advair is a different anti-inflammatory that is supposed to have fewer side effects. So we'll see. I've been impressed with this doctor and bone density is okay for 67.

398 389 My 83 year old golfing buddy had a stroke yesterday and they pulled the plug today. Good friend and a character when he was younger. Played on the tour for a short time but mostly traveled the country as a golf hustler. He played golf on Tuesday so he had a interesting and good life doing what he loved. RIP Tommy.

Focus your attention on things that delight you, not enrage you! Spend more time out in your garden, and under that lovely tree! Unplug for awhile. So not worth it to keep getting worked up over this.

I have always been a political junkie, but last year I realized once and for all that it's just not healthy to keep following all this bullshit closely if it means staying angry all the time.

I think those fantasies reflect realities, not the other way around.

A horny teenage boy who suddenly gets a new hot step-sister or step-mom isn't going to stop getting horny.

Yeah, technically she's your "sister" or your "mom", but the penis isn't gonna care.

There are hypothetical functions in your brain that prevent most people from getting the hots for their real mom or sister. It turns out that what counts is being raised with the person when you are little kid, and the effect holds even if the other person is no blood relation. It's called the Westermarck Effect, and is considered an adaptation to prevent inbreeding. There is a fair amount of experimental evidence for this (for example, children who were raised communally in Israeli kibbutzim very, very rarely married each other later in life).


If you run in a new "mom" or "sister" at puberty, that instinctive safeguard isn't gonna work.

Yeah, there's some evidence that siblings raised apart have a tendency to find each other extremely sexually attractive if they are first introduced as adults, though I don't think the evidence for that is nearly as strong as the evidence for being sexually repelled by those you were in close contact with as a small child.

I'd bet money that the popularity of step porn is due almost entirely to our modern culture of easy divorce and remarriage.

Yes. The reason that worked in Germany and Japan is because those were both civilized countries to start with (yeah, they were taken over by mass-murdering fuckwits, but the fundamentals of civilized behavior were there).

Japan had been a very hierarchical civilization for a long, long time, and after the US Navy came a-knocking they decided 'we gotta get us some of that blood-and-iron stuff'. They advanced further in terms of technical capacity - with the aid of the British, to be sure - in the second half of the 19th century than pretty much anyone else, the Russo-Japanese War was WWI writ small for anyone with eyes and a pencil. A lot of what came later was ire on the part of the Japanese for not being treated as equals by the 'great powers' post-WWI.

'Germany' didn't exist until Bismarck, but even the oompah-band principalities and elector-states he riveted together under Prussia had had real government for some centuries prior.

Actually quite a few aren't that clear-cut to me. Some are but others there aren't. The Velen quests like with the bloody Baron tend to be bad and bad. And then there is the ultimate choice you have to make. The redhead or the brunette. And if you want to screw all the other chicks too.

500 ... For the consumers that are addicted to it or engage in pounding there meat too often, you'll more than likely suffer from ED when you're finally with the real thing. Your ego and rep will be f'ed...

===

This happened to me. I was a teenager in the 80's, and my Dad, God love him, had a large porn collection, that he didn't hide very well. Books, magazines, VHS tapes. (Once my mom finally found it, she threw it all in the trash. There are issue there, in itself, that I don't care to think about for my own sanity, but I digress...)

By the time I was in my 20's, and I was finally able to attract "the real thing", I had issues, it didn't..couldn't..live up to the fantasy world. Luckily I met a patient, loving woman and I worked out those issues, and I have a solid 20+ year marriage. God only knows how I'd react if I were a teen today.

That's it for this edition of "True Confessions".

.....

Thanks Jim.

I actually wouldn't want anything to happen to my ex.

Actually, I gave her a house to live in after our divorce because she was living in a shithole of squalor and I couldn't stand to send my daughter there at the times apportioned to her.

So I bought a house, put it in my daughter's name, and told my ex that if she and her new husband moved in they could have it when my daughter turned 18 as long as my daughter agreed to it.

My anger tonight is that because I'm generally a easy going, silly soul that sometimes people wanna try me like I'm a bitch. I ain't nobody's bitch. I'll fucking cut the intestines out of a motherfucker if they want to try me.

I go easy and go lightly because I choose to. But I'll fucking squash a critter's head with no remorse. I've spent too much time on a farm to think twice about it. And a critter never did anything wrong, it was just time to eat it.

How much less patience, then, shall I show for a piece of shit that wants to try me.
