The Morning Rant: Woke Corporations Aren’t Showing Their Rainbow Pride in the Middle East
Happy “Pride Month” everyone. You may have noticed that everything is suddenly rainbow-hued for the month of June. Pretty much every institution is demanding that you celebrate the rainbow of sexual lifestyles. Sorry, but the demand that I celebrate something – anything – is compelled speech, and I assertively reject compelled speech. By the way, I have gay family members and a few good friends that are homosexual. I choose to celebrate them, their friendships, their talents, and even their loving relationships, but I do not celebrate their sexual orientation. Neither do I celebrate my being straight. No one should celebrate the fact that I’m attracted to women, although they certainly may celebrate how blessed I am to be married to Mrs. Throckmorton. For those trying to keep their virtue signaling current, they’ve suddenly been put in a tough spot. If they haven’t already replaced the Ukraine flag with the rainbow flag in their social media avatars, I can only assume that they’re anti-LGBT bigots.
And now I’m going to get serious about something that is seriously offensive. Woke corporations that drape themselves in the rainbow flag during the month of June throughout the western world - even altering their logos to be rainbow hued - are leaving their logos unchanged in the Middle East. They’ve done this for years, but I’ve noticed that more media outlets are calling them out on it this year. Good. Here are some disturbing examples. Because I’ve always loved the auto industry, I am mainly going to pick on auto manufacturers, but there are hundreds of other examples in other industries.
This is a really bad look for HSBC, which rainbowed-up its logo throughout most of the world, but chose not to do so in the United Arab Emirates, where homosexuality is punishable by death.
It would be less offensive if global companies just abstained from the whole June LGBT celebration if they’re going to simultaneously accommodate the laws and regulations of Middle Eastern countries that criminalize homosexuality. By forgoing the rainbow in Middle Eastern countries only, it is clear that these companies endorse Middle Eastern countries’ anti-LGBT policies. Why is that acceptable to LGBT activists? It’s time for woke corporation to either put up or shut up. (buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com)

You celebrate or take pride in ACHIEVEMENTS. You don't celebrate or take pride in who you fuck in the bedroom. That's as true for homos as much as it is for straights.
And yes, I chose "deviant" to describe the behavior. Not because I think gays or lesbians are deviant (I don't). But because it seems that all this "pride" propaganda is aimed more at trannies and sexual perverts and weirdos more than it is "normal" gays and lesbians.

Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience. There's a version of the gay flag where in addition to the trans and intersex diagonal stripes, they added black and brown diagonal stripes for George Floyd and now blue and yellow diagonal stripes for Ukraine.
Being black or Ukrainian is now a sexuality.

I don't know if it holds true in the UAE, but most Muslim countries prohibit the wearing of a cross around the neck.
Posted by: kallisto at June 03, 2022 11:13 AM (DJFLF)
Saudi is where this is enforced. I've openly worn crosses in Kuwait, Jordan, Oman, UAE, Egypt and Yemen. Only blowback was the Kingdom. Also the only place I was beaten for showing my hair.
In the UAE, my kids and I were at a mall, waiting to go to the airport and I had on an abayah because we were going back to Saudi, and because the only clean clothes I had left were shorts (little kids don't just make messes on themselves).
Two Emirati girls came up and asked me why I was wearing it, and if I was married to a Saudi, and how did I have blond children if I was married to a Saudi. I told them I was wearing shorts and they laughed - "you're American, you can wear shorts here!"

So why do Christians have the "right" to tell gays they are wrong, they are sinners? Well, they mostly don't do that, unless that person is in their church, or maybe their family. But since it is now being forced on us as a religion ... yes, it is a perversion of natural sex. (but all of us are sinners, so sin does not condemn them to hell, afaik)
And there are health implications, destruction of institutions that are Christian (Boy Scouts to bakeries), destruction of national "strong family values" heritage.
And ever since schools have been hiding their groomers, it has been wholesale child abuse. But the real root of the abuse is an evil plan to destroy liberty/freedom, starting with USA.

To win you would have to *prove* it hurt profits, not just allege it. And proving a hypothetical involving alternative outcomes is impossible, so winning such a case in court is impossible. It's a catch-22 built into the law. Or put another way, it's a law meant to look good while never actually allowing any succesful legal claims.

NASCAR became absurd, but there was a time when racing was based on cars you could go to the dealership and buy. There still is that type of racing, but you have to look for it. That's the type that appeals to me.
I stopped watching NASCAR in the early 2000s or so when they started throwing ghost yellow flags with five laps to go on every single race to tighten things up for the TV audience, but they never could show the debris on the track. Nope. I'm done.

The Burger King we visited at one point wasn't really cool enough. On top of that, her grandparents (who had plenty of $$$) didn't have A/C in their ranch house -- and turned off the swamp cooler (evaporative cooling device) when we went out sightseeing!

'Progressives' cannot found *any* successful institution or program on their/its own strength. Therefore, like leeches, they attach themselves to existing structures/organizations, slowly sucking the lifeblood out of those institutions.
Sooner or later the host dies, and with it the original culture/purpose. The Church is just another example, albeit, an extremely important one. I link from time-to-time to Paul Harvey's comments of 1965. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9NoQHgjM_0

One of the advantages of our Northern AZ house, we can set the AC to 79 and we're comfortable, due to the low humidity. This was not possible in our house in Bakersfield. Yeah, it's quite a change in the power bill. Bonus: Our new house is a bit larger than our old home.

I don't know if what he said was true, but if it is, is he saying children should be armed? Because I would guess that if the police were unarmed I think more would be killed.

in 1985 an extremely disturbed young woman walked into the Springfield Mall outside of Philadelphia, and began shooting at people.
At the same time her action began, a guy and his date were entering the mall near her location. This unarmed man approached the shooter, took her gun and moved her into one of the stores. His courage saved many lives, she ended up killing only three.

It's definitely a "southwest" thing and only for certain seasons. Cant use during monsoon season.
It also only cools down about 20 degrees if you're lucky. If it's 110 out, you SOL.
But they have a nice feel to them in the right setting and cost just pennies a day to run.

Looks like their goal is to get a solid hold around the Russian enclaves and a land bridge to Crimea.
It is long past time for the Ukes to give the enclaves independence - there is no point in continuing the conflict.

They've been saying since the beginning they basically wanted a "buffer" between them and NATO and that's what they are getting with this war.
Putin still have a sort antiquated thinking with all of this, but the West poked the bear enough times until we finally got them to do something.

The struggle here is to figure out if he's lying about it because he wants to portray his situation as desperate in his drive to get more money from sucker governments... or if he's lying about the extent of Russian control and its much worse.

You can't cool a large house with a single window unit. Swamp coolers are WAY cheaper to operate.
But swamp coolers have largely been abandoned, so the answer is not many people mess with them anymore. But certain regions they still make a lot of sense.
I have a vacation home in Northern AZ, and the Home Depot still has lots of parts and accessories for swamp coolers.

Not sure if we're talking about the same "swamp coolers," but such coolers are very popular and useful at outdoor events in high heat and humidity. Go to any fancy outdoor soiree in the Caribbean and they'll have several of the high-end ones. Also useful in big warehouses or manufacturing. But I've never ever seen one used inside in a residence as some kind of replacement for AC.
Posted by: Elric Blade at June 03, 2022 12:06 PM (iFTx/)
And Ukraine won't "fall", in the common sense. Was never the point. Only speculation, but reasonable, that Moscow was hoping for a fairly quick political solution (i.e. change of regime in Ukraine or essential capitulation to Russian demands) - the botched airborne op to Valkiv in particular points to this.
Recall that within a week, the two sides were talking face/face. And they were talking over very specific things, the same things that had been on the table for years. This is very suggestive for anyone who can think.

Sounds like a dream. Businesses in Santa Fe, NM, didn't seem to believe in real A/C, and it was hit-or-miss in Denver too. I don't care how dry it is; when you're pushing 90 degrees outdoors, it's time for real cooling indoors.

Businesses and residences in Denver had them all over in 1997-2001 when I lived there. I always felt sticky when I visited such a place.
I can't imagine they work very well in high humidity conditions. You'd just be putting out more moisture that won't evaporate.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at June 03, 2022 12:17 PM (txdEq)
nope. swamp coolers are useful with *low* humidity. they work by evaporating air into the incoming flow; if the humidity is high, evaporation is limited and so is the cooling.
