Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Overnight Open Thread (5-26-2015)Quote of the Day I - A Fella Could Have a Pretty Good Weekend in Vegas With All This Stuff Edition An upcoming workshop scheduled to take place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison aims to teach campus radicals and socialists how to manipulate campus resources to advance their agenda. One of the group's overall goals, according to their website, is to "reveal and challenge the North American university as a site working at the junction of settler-colonialism, neoliberal capitalism, hetero-patriarchy, white supremacy and other systems of domination and exploitation." The event includes sessions investigating what it means to be a thief, how to construct political narratives, and how to destabilise hegemonic spatial representations. Being expected to pay your bills as agreed - say, those misspent student loans - is, we learn, a "means of oppression." Because destabilising hegemonic spatial representations is something that someone else should be forced to pay for. "The line between free speech and X" is often the rhetorical equivalent to "the line between vegetables and rutabagas": the author doesn't have a coherent argument that rutabagas aren't vegetables, but doesn't like rutabagas and thinks you shouldn't either. Robert Tracinski: Why is the Angry Left So Angry? In short: immanentizing the eschaton. For the secular leftist, the end state is social and necessarily political. It is all about getting everybody else on board and herding them into his imagined utopia. There are so many "problematic" aspects of life that need to be reengineered, so many vast social systems that need to be overthrown and replaced. But the rest of us are all screwing it up, all the time, through our greed, our denial, our apathy, our refusal to listen to him banging on about his tired socialist ideology.
He Who Controls the Past, Controls the Future as Well as Current Policy Hillary Pulls the Old Jimmy Carter 'Stunt Luggage' Ruse Honoring the Amazing Life of Corporal Tibor 'Ted' Rubin Almost certainly he's the only human being ever to survive both a Nazi concentration camp and a North Korean POW camp and to eventually be awarded the Medal of Honor. There's an amazing movie in his life story - if only Hollywood was willing to make it. He was born in Hungary in 1929, and at age 15 was sent to Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. His first day there an SS captain told the assembled, "None of you will get out of here alive." Ted turned to the man next to him and said, "Nice fellow." Ted survived the next 14 brutal months of captivity, but most of his family perished. His father died in Buchenwald. His ten-year-old sister Elonja was sent to the gas chambers at Auschwitz, and his mother Rosa, who was slated for forced labor, chose instead to face death with her daughter. Mauthausen was liberated by the U.S. 11th Armored Division on May 5, 1945. With nothing left for him in Hungary Ted emigrated to the United States. He promised himself that he would show his appreciation to the country that gave him his freedom, and saved his life. And then his life got really interesting. The Horrible, Bad, Bad Racism of Serving Mexican Food at a Sci-Fi Event You can see why this is problematic right? No? Then try relaxing your mind, working outside the logic box, and coming up with the most racist thoughts that those other bad people must have in their heads. Ok see it now? Yes, it's ludicrous and pernicious, and not at all accidental. Dr Golz and her peers are in effect saying to students, "You should want to be the guy who bitches about the alleged racist subtext of party snacks. And if you do choose to behave that way, we'll reward you and flatter you and make you feel important, while making other people jump through clown hoops to appease the feelings you pretend to have." And the more implausible and contrived the claim of victimhood is, the more status points accrue, supposedly on account of the complainant's heightened sensitivity and mental prowess. He has fathomed an injustice mere mortals cannot see. New ONT Feature - The ISIS View: Slave-Girls or Prostitutes? By Umm Sumayyah Al-Muhajirah, ISIS magazine columnist. [No this is not satire silly kuffir.] Saby (taking slaves through war) is a great prophetic Sunnah containing many divine wisdoms and religious benefits, regardless of whether or not the people are aware of this. The Sirah is a witness to our Prophet's (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) raiding of the kuffar. He would kill their men and enslave their children and women. The raids of the beloved Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) convey this to us.... But then he had to go there.

Kinda bummed. Hadn't been planning on moving, but about 2 weeks ago I came across what should have been a sweetheart of a deal on a house- nice sized, sitting on 30 wooded acres with a separate 5 car garage and a lovely pool and hot tub area. The place needed rehab- mostly because of the horrible late 80s Miami Vice decor and the fact that it had been sitting since last year as the foreclosure worked its way through. Walked the property with a specialist and came up with a rehab budget of 80-100k. Put in a bid last Wednesday, and found out today that the bank took a different offer.
Easy come, easy go, and I hadn't been looking to move but...damnit, I'm disappointed. My mind was already picturing what I'd do to fix it up, and it would have been a lovely country estate when I was finished. I'd have lived there for the rest of my life most likely. Darn.

Re: the "what it means to be a thief" bit.

Had the exact same thing happen to me many years ago. Another house on the street that I live on became available and I loved it. But it was sold before I could even make an offer. I actually shed tears and couldn't figure out why I was that upset. I'm writing this from the living room of that house. Because less than a year later it came on the market again. And I haven't let go of it since then. Something will work out. You'll either find something even better or this house will become available. Posted by: dwagyak at May 26, 2015 11:12 PM (kZNIV) 81

Had a wolf in the back yard coupla days ago. Won't have any deer this summer, probably. I just don't want to go out to mow and get into a territorial dispute with a wolf pack.
Probably won't have any Sandhill Cranes come sashaying through the yard neither. That would be a disappointment.

A guy let me try his Ruger Blackhawk Casull at the range. Asked me if it was my first time, then suggested I use his heavy metal pistol rest, which I did.
I was expecting some recoil, especially with that single action configuration, but the damn thing still came up off the rest about 3 inches. I was grinning, but it earned my respect. Posted by: OneEyedJack at May 26, 2015 11:42 PM (XmOA9) 191

so my house is undergoing renovation, and there are some holes in the floor to the crawlspace, and some nasty bugs here in japan.
There are also blue tailed skinks, and they are my friends since they eat nasty bugs. Last week one got into the main room, wich is mostly finished but one wall is taped up paper as I put in new earth quake cross bracing. I knew there was some kind of bug since one day I saw something out of the corner of my eye behind a wire shelf, but i put it out of my mind. I knew it could not be those damn jumping spider monsters since they are the only bugs I have ever seen that attack humans. If it was one of them it would have jumped at me. well, two nights ago i woke up with a blue tailed skink on my fucking arm!!!!!!! I, of course did not know this. I plucked something large off my arm, jumped up, turned on the light, and searched through the beanbag and pillows i had fallen asleep on. I saw something crumpled up, and it looked like a giant millipede. maybe 6" long, and black, and crumpled. I ran and got the shop vac, and sucked it up, and put tape over the hose to make sure it would not get out. well this morning a skink was stuck to the tape, at the end of the hose, but open. my guess is it was a skink all along since a giant millipede would have felt hard and would not have froze when i grabbed it. and I have never seen 6" millipedes here in Japan (3" centipedes. 2" silverfish, 3" jumping spider monsters, but no 6" millipedes. I let let the skink free out back, with most of his skin intact but a little bit stuck to the dollar shop duct tape. skinks are my friends.

Un Lurking here for a moment to thank all the good people here who provided the prayers and well wishes for my wife last winter when I last un lurked to spill my guts about her breast cancer. She has finished her chemo, had the double mastectomy and today finished her 28 straight days of radiation treatment. I don't have the words to express how thankful I am for all the support I got from family friends co-workers and the imaginary people who inhabit these grey boxes. Still a ways to go with drugs, reconstruction etc, but she is a trooper and the strongest person in my life. Had a great week, oldest spawn graduated from the University of Texas, middle spawn graduates HS and will start there in Fall and youngest will continue in HS to follow them. Again, thanks to all here.

>> Where do you live? I've never even heard of blue tailed skinks.
Western Japan The skinks are friendly, and most important they stay away from humans. You can see them in the garden or side of street, but if you get close they run away. The giant jumping spider monsters though, they look like the spider doll in toy story and if they see you they jump AT you, about two or three feet, and if you are near a wall they will jump onto the wall and just stick there. They are scary. I once got out of car by the reservoir to look at the stars and there were dozens of them in the headlights, and they kept jumping closer to me.

Umm Sumayyah Al-Muhajirah is identifying as female. "Umm" means "Mama" in Semitic languages like Arabic. Sumayya is an Arabic name. Al-Muhajira means "the woman who emigrates [in God's path]"; male would be the muhajir.
'Tis possible that it's bullshit and that "Mother of Sumayya" is a sock. But we've also seen lots of female idiots trying to get over to Syria for jihadi cock. Don't ask me why; except that in any given population, some small percentage will be idiots, especially if they think they're going to paradise *for* being idiots.

The thing I find so ironic about "the angry left" is that ultimately they blithely expect their angry demands for the total control over others to be enforced by others holding guns.

In case anyone hasn't heard.....my email situation is precarious at the moment, due largely to the persistence of POP3 connections. POP3 connections allow for the "you've got mail!" thingies when you're not actually in your email program......and frequently survive a password reset -- so someone could be connected to your account with POP3 and still read and delete your emails even after you've reset the password on your account.
When you send an email, your program logs into SMTP to fling your message on its way. Each time. So you can be forcibly booted from your email account and not even know until you try to SEND a message from it. I learned a key data point when I'd been going "ping" "ping" "ping" from email A to email B, but then couldn't go "pong" from email B to email A. Please use EXTREME caution in either sending emails to me or reading emails from me, under any email account. Posted by: cthulhu at May 27, 2015 12:24 AM (T1005) 301

I don't have the words to express how thankful I am for all the support I got from family friends co-workers and the imaginary people who inhabit these grey boxes. Still a ways to go with drugs, reconstruction etc, but she is a trooper and the strongest person in my life.

I'll just go about my business while you go and do that. And yet, all of the leftist twats in the world think they're smarter than me just because they believe in the benevolence and ability of government, despite our entire history as a species as proof to the contrary.

Posted by: qdpsteve at May 27, 2015 12:22 AM Oh, ok. Everybody's different and it might be a problem no matter what, but, you may be overdoing it and it's a result of the soap. It sounds counterintuitive, but try cutting back and washing it only when you really have to. Leave it as long as you can. Use a scalp massager in the meantime. Just rinse it instead of using soap, if you have to. Give your scalp time to recover and reassess. If that doesn't work you can then rule out oversoaping.

----------- I have an old picture of me from 1974. It was taken at my Mom and Dad's house, Thanksgiving dinner. My hair was halfway down my back and thick. Pretty funny now that I look back on it. Now it's so thin on the top, it's not worth growing, and kind of coarse and curly on the sides. It won't look good no matter what I do to it, so I shave. Saves a lot of money on stylists who would just flatter me to get me back in their chair in two weeks to charge me twenty for the cut and an eight dollar tip.

Did you notice the preponderance of blondes? Very large German, Polish, and northern Italian community there with roots back to the late 19th century large-scale immigration. Been many years, but I remember Curitiba had a particularly nice Little Italy section, with great food. America, obviously, is a diverse country (used in its real, lost sense). Think New Orleans vs. Burlington VT vs. Albuquerque. Butput Curitiba alongside Salvador da Bahia or Natal, it's almost impossible to think it's the same country.

They key is portability and concealability. A 4" barreled .44 ( like a Smith model 29 or 626 )with a good BufBor load has enough oomph to kill a griz (so I've heard from a distant relative or something like that) without being 'too much', like .454 C, .460, or .500 can be in a giant hand-cannon. Not everyone can handle those calibers in a pistol, especially older folks with bad wrists and arthritis.
I shot a Puma .454 lever action rifle years ago, and always kicked myself for not buying it as you can shoot .45 Colt in it as well. At the time I bought a Marlin .45-70 instead, a Limited Edition with the full length 7-round tube mag and a octagonal barrel... and the rifle kicks like a really, really pissed-off angry kicky thingamajig with hot BufBor loads. Pretty rifle, but I wouldn't want to try and smuggle it past the green-clad Park Nazis if I want to wander God's Country. So the Smith .44 goes into the pack.

I have an old picture of me from 1974. It was taken at my Mom and Dad's house, Thanksgiving dinner. My hair was halfway down my back and thick. Pretty funny now that I look back on it. Now it's so thin on the top, it's not worth growing, and kind of coarse and curly on the sides. It won't look good no matter what I do to it, so I shave. Saves a lot of money on stylists who would just flatter me to get me back in their chair in two weeks to charge me twenty for the cut and an eight dollar tip.

O/T: Getting ready for our annual bowling tournament many state marathon. Leaving Thursday morning from Denver and driving to Mesquite, NV. Will spend the night there gambling and eating. Drive to Vegas in the morning on Friday. Spend three days at Palace Station, mostly gambling but also going to meet friends who are bowling a tournament at the Orleans.
Monday through Wednesday, we bowl a Senior nine pin no tap tournament at Sam's Town. Moving from Palace Station to South Point on Monday. Want to build up some comps at South Point because the Open and Women's National Tournaments are going to be there the next couple of years. Leave Vegas Thursday for Reno to bowl the National Mixed Tournament on Friday/Saturday with a couple of friends that we've bowled with for years. Wife is taking eight teams to the Women's National Tournament so we're there until Tuesday when we leave for Denver. We get home on Thursday, get to do laundry and then leave for the Open Tournament in El Paso. We arrive on El Paso on Monday and have an hour on the tournament practice lanes. Bowl Tuesday and Wednesday, then on Thursday I bowl the two side tournaments, the Bowlers Journal scratch tournament and the Forty Frame game. Leave Friday for Denver and I want to stop in Alamogordo and maybe Roswell. Back in Denver by that Sunday. I will not want to bowl again until maybe August. ROAD TRIP!

I think if spiders had little neck signs ("Hello! I am a SPIDER") they'd be given a lot more respect and lot less squashing.
Like sharks, they can't help how they look. And like sharks, they're not evil, not in the way that moslems can be. They just have that triggering look. Decades ago, my friends and I were playing in the back yard and this huge bulldog emerged from the woods. Classic type, fangs from the bottom lip, scary as hell. We all scattered. Minutes later, I saw that he was still out there. So I ventured out, came close and petted him. Lots of wagging from the tail area (no actual tail of course) and the guy seemed so happy to have a bit of affection. I learned a lot then--scary looks don't necessarily mean scary attitude (in animals. Not true for moslems). Still haven't petted any spiders, but gained a bit of respect for how God (or Nature) designs things. Posted by: Null at May 27, 2015 01:19 AM (xjpRj) 411

Cthulhu needs a strike team to assist in terminating all these rouge POP3 connections. Posted by: Anna Puma (+SmuD) at May 27, 2015 12:26 AM (AylSc) We made some decent progress today. Today was safer than yesterday; tomorrow will be safer than today. It is literally going to take months and thousands of dollars to deal with this in a responsible way -- to say nothing of billable time. And there WILL be some changes in corporate policy, much as the bureaucracy would rather things stay the same. I know that the head of Intuit security was VERY interested to find out that I'd had four telephone calls from tech support after I'd laid out my concerns to him across a table and he'd personally assured me they were baseless. I know this 'cause I talked with him -- he provided the lookup for the caller ID. And, once again.....there's an opportunity -- the drives will be imaged. If the malefactor would 'fess up with every single piece of the malware involved, we can correct for that and move forward......leaving the imaged drives as backup if things go astray. That's going to happen and will cost (haven't got the estimates yet) about $1000 per suspected drive. Or I can have them imaged and cleaned at about $3500 per drive. Whoever did this to me could make things better for themselves by coming forward ASAP to fully state what had been done. Since I have no 100% guaranteed uncompromised emails, send details to ace....I'll be around to pick 'em up shortly. Posted by: cthulhu at May 27, 2015 01:22 AM (T1005) 414

Why did Carl Sagan assume that aliens would have no negative characteristics-that they are all hopeful and non violent?

I'm just riffing here, but I was thinking that nobody would miss 80% of what is new, and that 80% of what makes life good is in the past. 80% of todays music? 80% of todays TV/Movies? 80% of todays convience products? Am I onto something here, or just on something? Posted by: OneEyedJack at May 27, 2015 12:24 AM (XmOA9)" There is one of those "Laws" named after some science fiction writer that I am too lazy to look up that says "90% of everything is crap". This is in response to somebody who was complaining that 90% of science fiction is crap. The reason that there is so much good stuff from the past is because people usually only preserve the good stuff and the crap from the past tends to be forgotten. I suppose that this could be taken as an argument for conservatism. Many generations have produced a lot of stuff and it is worthwhile to keep the best of what they created. Progressives, of course, believe that they are so smart and well intentioned that they can do better than everybody who has ever lived. And we can see from the domestic and foreign policy results of our progressive President how well that generally works out. Posted by: Obnoxious A-Hole at May 27, 2015 05:12 AM (QHgTq) 458

Pick any medium. Sitcoms, action movies, historical dramas, SF novels, anything you can think that can be given a categorization. In any given year a great mound of it is produced. A decade later only a small fraction will have any ongoing interest. Posted by: Epobirs at May 27, 2015 05:32 AM (IdCqF) 459
I'm using that Sagan quote now when I deal with people who think that because I cut my kids off from TV I'm some kind of right wing, religious zealot - I am, but they need to be confused.

If your friend texts you and says, "My spouse is being hassled by their boss and may lose their job" don't text back and say "Well, life ls unfair."
Well, thanks for that revelatory bit of information. (I didn't actually say that. I just thought it.) Posted by: FenelonSpoke at May 27, 2015 05:54 AM (1sJza) 462
Carl Sagan apparently thought aliens were idiots with highly advanced technology but with no concept of fiction. Galaxy Quest.

Feminism is nothing more than gender supremacism, an ideology no different at its core than racial supremacism.

Feminism is nothing more than gender supremacism, an ideology no different at its core than racial supremacism. Posted by: @PeeteySDee at May 27, 2015 06:06 AM (8MArR)" There is a part in the movie "Goodfellas" where Henry Hill is talking about what it means to be a Made Man, a full member of the Mafia. Part of the package is "You can fuck with other people but nobody can fuck with you." That seems like the essence of supremacism. It is also worth considering that the Mafia originated in Sicily and that Sicily had been conquered and controlled by Muslims for centuries. In some ways, it seems like the Mafia is Islam without the religious aspects but keeping the violence, supremacism and the right to tax the kufirs.

The left is angry because it has seen the defeat of all its major hopes. Capitalism is now a case of twice two makes four. The left can no longer dream of a socialist utopia. It has instead been reduced to undermining its hated opponent and making life worse for everyone in the process.
