Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (8/22/17) For The ONT In All Of Us Edition
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.Mark Twain
Quote II
When a new source of taxation is found it never means, in practice, that the old source is abandoned. It merely means that the politicians have two ways of milking the taxpayer where they had one before. H. L. Mencken
Quote III
Good news is rare these days, and every glittering ounce of it should be cherished and hoarded and worshipped and fondled like a priceless diamond. Hunter S. Thompson
One side of the coin. Not content to hammer on Trump. Commentary Magazine slams Jerry Falwell, Jr.
How far–how low–do religious leaders end up going when they decide that, in public life, the end justifies any means? Consider the case of Jerry Falwell, Jr. For the Liberty University president, the end was the advancement of social conservatism. The means: Donald Trump. Falwell endorsed Trump for the GOP nomination ahead of the Iowa Caucuses last year, and soon he emerged as one of the New Yorker’s most ardent evangelical backers. Trump’s dissolute personal life didn’t make him an ideal avatar for the evangelical cause. Nor did his transparently opportunistic change of heart on social issues such as abortion. But Falwell reminded his flock that Trump was running for president, not “pastor-in-chief.”
The other side of the coin. Trump reveals the GOP worthless side.
What has this party done since Trump saved their bacon, keeping them in the majority, saving them from becoming a worthless second fiddle to a corrupt Hillary? Nothing. Just nothing. And now worse than nothing. I am not the first to say this, but let’s be clear, the GOP has become a party of spineless wimps and frauds. They have betrayed half of America, betrayed the base that once supported them so well, and also betrayed their country. They have been watching fecklessly as the left is destroying the agenda they were sent to put into place. They have been sitting on their hands while the left has been destroying their own party’s president, not only doing nothing, but often actively helping the left in their attempts to take him down.
Donald Trump is not a perfect man. Hell, he might not even be a good man. But he is a much better man than the House and Senate GOP leadership combined.
Despite working six days a week, Marion, 37, a single mother of two, can’t make ends meet on the $9.50 an hour she gets at Popeyes (no apostrophe – founder Al Copeland joked he was too poor to afford one). A fast food worker for 22 years, Marion has almost always had a second job. Until recently, she had been working 9am-4pm at Popeyes, without a break, then crossing town to a janitorial job at Bartle Hall, the convention center, where she would work from 5pm- to 1.30am for $11 an hour. She didn’t take breaks there either, although they were allowed.There are so many things wrong with this picture.
Even so, the US has threatened farmers who grow it and often treated it like a dangerous drug: the plant remains forbidden in the eyes of the federal government, which blanket-banned all forms of cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act in 1970. Now, republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky is sponsoring the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2017, with the bipartisan support of 16 congresspeople. Kentucky's two Republican senators—Rand Paul and yes, even Mitch McConnell—are also in support of the bill.Holy crap, Mitch McConnell sticking his neck out? Miracles never cease.
Bernie Sanders. Why Medicare is good for all.
Despite major improvements made by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), our health care system remains in crisis. Today, we have the most expensive, inefficient, and bureaucratic health care system in the world. We spend almost $10,000 per capita each year on health care, while the Canadians spend $4,644, the Germans $5,551, the French $4,600, and the British $4,192. Meanwhile, our life expectancy is lower than most other industrialized countries and our infant mortality rates are much higher.The ONT hopes you Morons explain to good Old Comrade Bernie what is
Further, as of September 2016, 28 million Americans were uninsured and millions more underinsured with premiums, deductibles, and copayments that are too high. We also pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
August 22, 1964, The Supremes started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Where Did Our Love Go' the girl group's first No.1. Holland–Dozier–Holland had originally composed the song for The Marvelettes to record it who rejected the song. via thisdayinmusic.com
August 22, 1970, Bread went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Make It With You', the group's only No.1 hit, which was a No.5 in the UK. Many artists have covered the song including: The Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Earth, Wind & Fire, Dusty Springfield, Andy Williams, and Marc Cohn. via thisdayinmusic.com
Say it aint so Fido. Settled pet science is not so settled after all?
Bad news for Fluffy and Fido. A new study revealed that kids’ health may actually be more dependent on another household animal – the piggy bank. Analyzing data from a California Health Interview Survey, researchers from the nonprofit RAND Corporation compared statistics on 2,200 children with pets and 3,000 children without them. This was one of the largest ever studies on the pet-health link in kids between 0 and 17 years old.
So how is climate settled? Oh yeah, easier to tax the bejeebers out of Fido's owner than Fido.
For example, somebody can be privileged by the fact that they are cisgender, thin, and white, while being oppressed by the fact that they are queer, disabled, and female. Because of this, we need a word to describe the complex social order that keeps these intersecting oppressions in place. Kyriarchy is an excellent word for this concept – it is more in line with intersectional feminism, and is not as problematic as the word patriarchy can be.
According to dismaying new research data, the rate of severe allergic reactions to foods in America has risen 377 percent in the last decade — a nearly fivefold jump. The numbers come from a new study by Fair Health, a nonprofit with access to 24 billion health-insurance claims filed by 150 million individuals. To get these allergy numbers, the group looked for claims where the diagnosis was anaphylaxis caused by food, a condition that can be life-threatening. Researchers discovered that not only are there more attacks now than ten years ago, but that almost a quarter of them occurred in 2016 alone, the most recent year for which data is available. The most depressing part is that scientists aren’t sure what’s causing this proliferation — which is starting to snowball something fierce. They assume Americans’ overuse of antibiotics and tendency to rear babies in almost totally “sterile” environments have something to do with it, though, and say the uptick in C-sections, which can mess up babies’ microbiota, might also be partly to blame.
And then reality happens. The endorphins and other feel-good chemicals stop coursing through our bodies, the high wears off, and we start to feel a physiological comedown, as well as a psychological one. The body is not only releasing itself from an uptick of stress hormones, but also neurotransmitters and endorphins that put us in an improved mood and state of mind.
Was that really it?
In the wake of the Evergreen State College disaster, incoming freshmen will now be required to attend a workshop designed to teach them how to have civil conversations with each other.

Kyriarchy is an excellent word for this concept - it is more in line with intersectional feminism, and is not as problematic as the word patriarchy can be.
This has been a central focus of the Left and their "intersectionality" for some time now.
It allows them to create the perfect boogie-man: The "Kyriarch", who has all the axiomatically morally impure traits association with oppression.
This allows the Left to use them as an excuse to get everyone else to unite together, under the Left's woke leadership of course.
On the flip side, it also means that almost everyone has a "kyriarchical" trait, such as being White, male, straight, able-bodied, mentally sane, &c. This means that everyone is also a sinner with an original sin. Thus, these very same oppressed must be made to shrive their unshrivable sin, lest they be purged as being on the side of the "Kyriarchy".

I would assume not. In fact, my guess is that she works in a job for a while, and then does something that gets her fired (not showing up, smoking pot and coming into work high, etc.) and starts all over again.
Either that, or she's simply of low intelligence, and cannot handle any more responsibility than pushing a mop or flipping burgers.

The GOP has stopped being a legitimate political party, they are fraudulent, they put the CON in CON-servative.
With the exception of some temporary tax cuts 10 years ago and two conservative SCOTUS justices, they haven't done anything worth a damn since the Gingrich welfare reforms 20 years ago.
They have gotten us into pointless wars, exploded the debt, let the donks run roughshod of our country and culture
and are now actively undermining a duly elected Republican President.

You do whatever it takes to make her know you are the man and you are not putting up with that crap even if showing her so much requires you to sleep with every man and woman in her family. SHOW HER WHO"S BOSS! Now get in there and get some.

I mean, is it fair? No, not really. But even the ones who ran on a Tea Party platform are caught up in the game of DC politics. Of the ones who actually did vote for repeal last month, how many of them do you think did so because they knew from McConnell and Ryan that it was "safe" to do so? I'm guessing my senator did, and I wouldn't put it past my rep.
I know there are some good guys still in Washington, but far too many have hands just as dirty as McCain et al. Even the ones not on our radar.

I'm assuming oppression is something undesirable that should be ended if possible.
Let's say there were no male, straight, thin, white people. Only queer, fat, minority females. Would that be a utopia without oppression? Well, what if someone in this society was born with a birth defect so that she was disabled. Then she would still be oppressed, because the rest of the society would not be disabled. It seems that there is no guaranteed way to eliminate oppression from society. So why try?

Only two things move an elected official, the threat of being killed and money. As I haven't got the kind of excessive bank account required to influence anyone and as I don't want to wind up in prison (and worse yet, eternal damnation) I have decided to no longer really care because it doesn't really matter.
I don't think I'm going to vote in races where my choice is sell-out Republican, mentally unstable Democrat or Peter Pan Libertarian. I'm certainly done donating to campaigns. And short of family member or personal friend, I don't think I'll work at a poll or campaign headquarters again either.
I've been sent a pretty clear signal from my elected officials: conscious, ideology, laws....none of these things exist in any real sense. We have progressed full on into self-interest governance, legal or no.

"636 My little old dog, he's limping around the backyard.
It sucks that dogs live such a short time, every dog I've had has been such a friend to me,
It's too bad that people don't know the truth about life,
Dogs know it, be a good friend for the duration of you're life."
saw that this morning, and it raised some dust in the room somehow ... i'd already been thinking about one of my boys from meeting his lookalike at an amish farm in the afternoon, and that just hit me squarely ... dogs are in some ways our better selves, unconditionally loyal and loving with none of the compromises that the higher mental functions impose on us ...
anyway, thanks.
blessings on you and him.

Give it up.
If she were interested, she'd have moved the earth either 1) to agree, or 2) to make excruciatingly clear that it was totally impossible, but that she was definitely interested in a date at a later time.
In the absence of either 1) or 2), she's either letting you down gently or waiting to see if something better comes along.
Bottom line: forget it.
Don't call again, don't bring it up again. At least salvage some self-respect.

Emma - It's similar to Postpartum Depression, Emma. It has affected a large segment of the population. In fact, college and university health centers have been inundated with weeping students. We hear comments like, "This was supposed to be a life-changing event."
We haven't seen anything like this since last November. It would seem that for some reason, young people are experiencing a massive collective crisis of rising expectations. It's as though the forces that have socialized them are, in themselves, pathological.

You'd be thinking, "Oh crap, I'd love to go out with her, but just can't. But I must make painfully clear to her that I'm not rejecting her, that it's simply impossible at that time, and I'd love to go out with her some other time."
Isn't that right? You'd be terrified that she would take a "no" as a rejection and never ask you again, right? So you'd be slobbering all over yourself to make it plain that you WERE interested, right?
Take the hint. If you don't get that from her, she's just letting you down gently.

Take her to a meal. Take her to your favorite hole-in-the-wall Chinese or Mexican or whatever. The food has to be great. The worse the decor the better. You will get to enjoy a tasty meal and you will also find out what kind of gal she is. If she enjoys the simple pleasures of life and enjoys the food, great. If she gets upset that you didn't take her someplace expensive, good riddance.

One of my favorite books. _Self-Made Man_ by Norah Vincent.
She, a lesbian, who could pass in male drag, on a lark decided to dress and live that pose full time to see what it was like.
She tried asking straight women out on dates, to see how that works for a guy, and learning just how coldly dismissive straight women frequently are to straight men. Her particular "straight male" persona reported feeling emotionally beat up by the experience.

It's not so much that women don't *like* sex I think. It's that for any woman who's even moderately attractive, sex is *always* almost instantly available.
Same with very wealthy people. They don't think about money because they don't *have* to. It's always available and there's lots of it, and they take for granted that it'll always be there whenever they want it.

With the proper combination of pressure, machination, deal-making, accommodation, &c., you can get more of what you want, or at least make future endeavors more fruitful, than if you rage and rant against a politician and then whine when they won't do what you want.
Niceties, however vacuous, exist for a reason. That is how the game is played. There is not swamp to be drained, for that is the intrinsic nature of the beast. Leviathan can be restrained and limited, but never trained; certainly not drained away.

So, there is ONE possible way, Robert this could be worth pursuing. Is she shy? Introverted? Awkward? If so, maybe might be just about her only response to keep from showing how truly excited she really is. I can't tell you how many times I've said, "Maybe" when I am screaming from joy on the inside. When current guy asked me out to a concert, I replied, "Maybe" but I was grinning from ear to ear and jumping around.
But..if she doesn't seem the socially awkward type, or has never displayed any sort of nervous or shy behavior....more than likely, it's just a straight-up no.
Posted by: Tickled Pink at August 22, 2017 11:20 PM (smD62)
Yes, she's an introvert. She's not shy, as such, but she's never the one to strike up any sort of conversations.
I'm introverted myself, and I tend to be very noncommittal to any social engagements. That's kind of why I suspect it's not a flat rejection.
But I'm thinking maybe the best thing to do is let her bring it up instead of asking a second time. She already knows I'm interested, certainly, so I guess ball is in her court? Just wait and see.

Srsly?
If she were interested, she'd find a way to make it work, e.g., "I'm moving, but how about coming over for a cup of coffee afterwards?" At which point you could offer to come over earlier to help, which of course would be the whole idea.
That she didn't make a counter-proposal tells you everything you need to know. Suppose Kate Upton asked you out, and you had something on. Would you fart her off? Or would you make a counter-proposal of some sort?

This is good advice... but easier said than done. It's tough to work all day with women who are attractive but who you *know* are completely uninterested/unavailable, then have to trudge your way out somewhere where it's a complete crapshoot what you'll get.
Also let's admit it: women today are frankly paranoid about men. Even if they're not feminists, so much of media is all about all the creepy dangerous penis monsters out there just waiting to drag them to their secret rape dungeon, and who knows if they'll ever make it out alive.
So women see you coming no matter *where* you are or where you approach them. It's just absurd, but that's how it is. And they've always got their guard way, way up.

With McCain, there's nothing to be done but let nature deliver the change. Locals say the logical course is for gov. to replace McCain with the runner up in the Flake primary challenge, which sounds sensible.

MSM crapfest to appear in 3 . . . 2 . . . I couldn't help noticing when I went to find a link to the live speech how many links to MSM handwringing popped up. Like "Thousands of protestors flock to Trump speech in Phoenix," "Trump set to reprise harrowing Phoenix speech with U.S. on edge," "Trump's upcoming Phoenix speech next stop on white nationalism tour," etc. Gee, you'd think all these presstitutes went to the same J-school or something.

I have a liberal acquaintance who does that (wrt inter alia car pooling, rooming together at tournaments) , and it drives me crazy. He never gives a simple "yes" or "no," it's always a 15 minute run-down of his social schedule and all the dependencies and contingencies (which I don't care about), and concludes with "I'll try."
After which he rarely shows up, and if he does, leaves early.
So fuck him is my attitude.

That's because the "matriarchy" isn't about peaceful group consensus, but a mean girls club.
Men, OTOH, don't feel the need to pull s**t like that, with any disagreement or pecking order determination being more open and honest; and as a consequence far more likely to make up and get along again once the dust is settled.

Write her a love poem. Put it in large type on the middle of a 4x8' sheet of plywood. Comb Facebook for pictures of her. Save them to a thumb drive and go to Kinkos and get them blown up. Tape them to the plywood.
Get a picture of yourself that you like. Maybe the one in underwear so she can see the real you, who's emotionally bared and open to her. Make a dozen copies at Kinkos. Tape one onto each picture of her. Caption each with "imagine the possibilities".
Bring it to her house. Put it on the lawn. Sign your name in blood. Not your blood, that would hurt. Kill the neighbor's puppy and use its blood. This will show your true ardor.
Chicks dig ardor.

At least make the bullshit believeable. For fucks sake. Unless it's been 22 years for multiple employers, because she keeps getting fired for being a piece of shit, there's no way this is possible.
As far the company "grossing" 975 bucks off her orders, again, these know it all leftists know fuck-all about business.
975 was the revenue, not the "gross". Once you figure margin, which was probably about 325 bucks, pull rent, electric, the 76 bucks she made, the 76 bucks the employees not taking orders but supportin her orders (cooks, cleaners, etc) the employer is lucky to have grossed about $40 for her orders that day.
I shit you not. Those are the average numbers in the fast food industry.
AND THAT'S BEFORE TAXES. He'll pay 35% of that 40 bucks in taxes to pay this lady's welfare, to boot.
Nobody is getting rich selling fried chicken, and it fucking pisses me off that this dickface reporter thinks he's displaying some inequality when she is making almost twice what her employer is making in pre-tax profit for her 8 hour shift's effort.

Put the ticket into an envelope, and hand it to her with a statement along the following.
"I'm going, I'd be honored if you'd go with me. If you'd like, I'd be happy to buy dinner beforehand, or of you just want to see the show, I can drive us, or you can drive yourself and just simply show up in the adjacent seat.
Either way, I've bought the tickets, and I'm going. Hope to see you there, too."
You might lose the cost of one ticket.
Do NOT "write" the above in any way, shape, form or text. HAS to be verbal, which is not "evidence" to H.R.
A ticket in an envelope?
That's a "bon voyage" gift to a parting employee.

It's not his wheelhouse, this kind of stuff. Of course he's not racist or bigoted, thinks it's ridiculous to say so, but doesn't seem to get outraged - which is what would be more appropriate. He's a doer, a businessman, a hyperactive man of action, and clearly doesn't really take some crap seriously (to his credit, in principle).
This particular tsunami of slander and lies really requires a lot more than calling the press "horrible dishonest people" and reading your previous statements.
Because 1) Trump has no surrogates - this national disgrace, hysteria, and idiocy (driving the Taliban-like vandalism of history) is proceeding with hardly a hand being raised in protest against it by any public figure 2) this is not just another distortion or lie or slander - this is the big one, meant to re-animate the Dems critical bloc black vote, and deny any of it to Trump or the GOP (who did better in 2016 than usual, a very ominous sign in context).

Some people when put on the spot freeze. Some people need time to formulate the question and a response. Some people want an answer and want it right now...but it's all rooted in our personalities. And no one's personality is right, and no one's is wrong. It's all just a matter of learning to co-exist with each other. And understanding each other.

How well do you really know this woman, particularly re her patience level? Because if you ask her *again,* and it annoys this woman the *slightest bit,* it can cost you your job. Not a joke.

Think about how YOU feel when some asshole at work buttonholes you to buy Girl Scout cookies, or some such. They're subtly twisting your arm: you either have to pony up, or be a bad guy in front of everyone else. And people resent having their arms twisted.
Invite, but with an easy and graceful way out if the person doesn't want to accept, and if the person wants out, accept that decision without drama.
It's just basic manners.

Inserting your penis through a hole drilled into the women's bathroom stall is the millennial generation's "Do you like me? Check Yes or No" note.
You will know very quickly if she was just being introverted and is really into you or if she was just trying to let you down gently.

And an hour of thinking about the decision intently. So not a complete waste.

Was not aware of that, however, gentlemen do keep post it pads on their nightstand so that when taking a lass to bed they can quickly scribble her name on a post it and put it on her forehead so you do not embarrass her by using the wrong name. Pro-Tip - remember to reposition the note when you flip her over. She will be very appreciative and feel very spoiled.

When he was a newspaper editor in the mid-19th Century, he wrote a really scathing editorial about a local elected official. He was so vicious in this editorial that the politician actually challenged him to a duel!
Twain accepted, because hey, he was right, damn it! And he wasn't about to retract what he'd said.
Well, Twain soon learned that this petty bureaucrat was a great marksman, while Twain was... well, not.
He had a friend who was good at shooting, though, so he asked that friend for a crash course in, you know, not dying in a duel. This friend cleared his schedule to give Twain some shooting lessons on the morning of the duel.
Twain proved unable to hit the broad side of a barn, and he grumbled about how something must be wrong with the gun. His buddy said, "Look here, dipshit; it's not the gun." To prove his point, he took that revolver and fired at a tiny sparrow in a tree, like, fifty feet away. Clipped the head clean off that bird. He then handed the gun back to Twain and said, "It's not the gun. You just suck at this shit."
Well, it was at that precise moment that Twain's opponent walked around the corner onto the scene. He had just seen what happened to that bird, and he now saw Twain holding the still-smoking gun. Twain, thinking quickly, said, "Oh, yeah! I totally did that. So, you, uh, ready to do this, now?"
The asshole politician said, "Nah, you know what? We're good. I'll just, uh, let this one slide."

You can date one of her friends and make her really happy. Women can't stand to see anyone happy, so she is likely to give you some just to make sure her friend is miserable.

Twain was awesome, and should be a bigger part of the curriculum. We need his level of cynicism to rub off on a lot more people. It'd make the Left's "I'm an enlightened elite and I'm here to help" schtick a lot harder to sell.
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." -also Mark Twain.

People get distracted by Huck Finn and never read any of Lincoln's writing, but if you get into Twain's first couple of books, the travelogs as it were, and read Lincoln's collected letters, you will be surprised and awed.
They both have pretty open common sense--actual common sense--for men who were who they were.
If I could write like anyone, I would write like Lincoln. If that wasn't popular, I would write like Twain.

Yeah, I think social media is one of the worst things ever invented.
Back in the old days, when somebody had a crackpot idea, he could write a letter to the editor of his local newspaper, or stand on a street corner haranguing passersby. Most people knew he was a nut and humored him. He was pretty harmless for the most part.
Social media is a force multiplier. All the nuts can get together and gang up on the rest of us.

His wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, wrote several anonymous "letters to the editor" at the local newspaper criticizing some local elected bureaucrat.
Well, this bureaucrat was pissed, and did some detective work, and found out who had written those letters. He then challenged her husband to a duel.
Well, Honest Abe is famous for being ridiculously tall, and he also had really, really long arms. As the challenge-ee, he got to set the terms of the duel.
He decided that they would fight with broadswords, and have a really wide plank set between them. If you resorted to stepping on that plank, you would immediately lose.
Lincoln met with his challenger on the appointed morning, and the plank was set up under a tree. Lincoln reached up with his long arms and clipped a pretty high branch off that tree. "So, you still want to do this?", he asked his much shorter challenger.
"Nah, you know what? We're cool", was the challenger's answer. He knew he couldn't win under those conditions!

stepping on that plank, you would immediately lose.
Lincoln met
with his challenger on the appointed morning, and the plank was set up
under a tree. Lincoln reached up with his long arms and clipped a pretty
high branch off that tree. "So, you still want to do this?", he asked
his much shorter challenger.
"Nah, you know what? We're cool", was the challenger's answer. He knew he couldn't win under those conditions!

Robert, let me say, firstly, that if you're asking for dating advice here then you're really fucked ... proper fucked.
That said, women don't like to be in charge of the dating or the arrangements. They like to criticize your choices and whine about what you are doing but they don't want to be the ones to choose it. Neither the logistics of the date or the content or the contact or anything. They want you to do all that and then they'll be very happy to tell you why you did everything wrong - but don't worry, that's sort of a female sport; it means nothing.
So, if you really like this girl, you have to pursue her, not just ask her out once and let it all go. Yes ... there's a .07% chance that she'll be intrigued by your lack of interest, but I wouldn't put my money on that. You have to initiate (and reinitiate) the contact. And try to ask very little. Just tell her what you want to do - what you want the two of you to do. Chicks dig that.
Lastly, you have to not worry about being embarrassed. Easier said than done but that is one of the main keys. Give a decent effort. If she makes it clear that she's not interested then stop and move on ("maybe" is not such a thing). Then you'll still have that .07% chance riding ...
For some reason I picture you at the the Gas 'N Sip on Saturday night asking the guys for advice (from Say Anything):

I really think there needs to be a weekly "Boys' Club Only Thread" in which men can just talk about the ways women have done them wrong and women can go do something else. It would be cheaper than therapy...I think I'll go read some really dark novels by some Russian whose name I can't spell----that would be appealing. :^(

What's probably really happening with skippers intent on keeping their commands and attaining higher rank is that they're now absolutely refusing to leave the bridge at any hour. And eking out four hours of sleep every three days. Yah, nothing could work out badly in this arrangement.

Remember FBIAnon post on /pol duting beginning of the Hillary
investigation where he said pressing charges would implicate and bring
down the entire government and how things are literally the most evil
crimes imaginable.
That becomes the most likely scenerio the longer this plays out as
more and more info comes out along with efforts to hide and dismiss it.
--
I'm not going to discount bringing down the government.
I suspect that we're close to something big, which is why the MSM is now cranked up to hysterical level 11. To provide cover for the Really Bad Things That Are Going To Happen.
One of the Insiders on 4chan said that Awan leaked info that caused the Navy Seals to be killed early in Trump's Presidency. I really don't doubt that.
As for all things evil... in the past, it was about politicians getting caught with a dead girl or a live boy. They can get away with both now.
However... I really wouldn't be surprised if children are involved.

There was something else and I couldn't respond because the comment server couldn't get through to me, but that was about the woman on the left in the picture in the thread before last.
She had a "hurricane/screen door" effect on me and some others. She wasn't all sexed up, just a raw effect and I was wondering why. Someone mentioned her face and that reminded me of something, and I looked it up, but couldn't respond.
She indeed has a very feminine, high estrogen face. On the feminine - masculine scale, her face is on the the very feminine end. And she's smiling beautifully. Which makes it all the more attractive.
Second, the hips. She has wide hips and the waist to hip ratio is likely optimum.
Everything about her screams high estrogen. And that's what it is. Raw, primal stimulation of the low level male brain circuits. Doesn't need much artificial enhancement, "framing", or heh, grooming. Just raw, primal appeal.

No grand jury or special counsel with all that crime for 8 years of Obama, Lynch Holder and cartel guns and money running ... then before Trump is even in office they are conjuring up a fake golden shower Dem/Russkie doc to take out the duly elected president.
It is as dirty and flagrant as it gets. They are flailing to coverup massive syndicated crime ... Sessions recuses wtf? Comey leaks and admits it ... his pal Mueller hires a bunch of Dem/mob lawyers with infinite power to find dirt, Rosenstein shuffles his feet.
WAR ... is next. How did it even get this far? And yet Trump keeps firing his people and installing friends of Hillary. Commies in control ... fight fight fight.

cannot be installed to this disc. The selected disc has an MBR partition
table.'"
If there's a partition table already on the drive, it ain't blank.
Someone's been fooling with it previously and there may be malware residing on that sucker.
Download any of the several Linux distributions that boots from a thumb drive, boot from that, and use the Linux disk tools to ruthlessly nuke the *entire* SSD back down to raw entropic randomness, including that MBR which shouldn't be there.
Then shut down Linux and go back to the Winblows installer.

Uh no. Its just likely that the drive came preformatted and ready because they anticipate people using a data migration to move from their HDD to the SSD rather than a straight up fresh install.

I didn't know this, but I was wondering, what they hell, all my disks are MBR.
You've got an EFI BIOS, which requires GPT disks. Just hard format the damn thing and create a new GPT partition table.
The EFI firmware setup may be able to do that, I don't know.
Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at August 23, 2017 02:50 AM (8O3HH)
What plausible migration tool wouldn't take a moment to inspect and then install a suitable MBR/GPT on a blank drive before moving over the rest of the disk contents?

Honestly it seems like Windows sets up the drive partitions into those formats that it doesn't like installing on in during the install process. I've had those "Windows can't install" on disks that I've had previous installs on, where I did the install myself using the same install disk.
Posted by: buzzion at August 23, 2017 02:54 AM (cAnNx)
I did some quick Googling -- didn't read the details, but they are instructions on how to get around the problem. Seems like several ways.
Hell, but with the way MS rolls, none of them may work for him.
When I get a new mo/bo, which is going to be soon, I'm going to get an EFI one, so I'll learn all about this shit I'm sure.
I think, think, many of them have it where you can switch back to regular BIOS mode, so you can boot 32-bit Windows, which can't do EFI. Or maybe that changed too with the later versions.
Anyway, I've never played with an EFI system, yet.

Posted by: Weirddave at August 23, 2017 01:39 AM (0otiP)
It means you have to reformat the disk with a GPT boot record rather than the old-time MBR boot record. GPT offers more flexibility, allows much larger drives, and is backward-compatible with MBR.
Just reformat the disk and when it asks for a boot record type choose "GPT" instead of MBR (or DOS it might be called), then make all your partitions (there are no primary/extended with GPT, just as many regular partitions as you want) and you should be good to go.

So some of ya'll might recall my mentioning interest in a younger coworker of mine who will shortly be leaving. A couple of weeks back I asked for advice on how far ahead I should ask her out and I think the general consensus was something like a little less than a week.
So, for the particular movie I had in mind, we are now a little less than a week away.
Being the giant weenie that I am, and after really talking myself into it, I finally asked.
And she said...maybe! If she wasn't busy.
Eeerrrrrrrr.....
I had a slim hope for a yes, a major expectation of a no..I got a noncommittal response instead.
I wasn't expecting that?
Oh shit, what do?

There is a nice twist in it as Stone has converted from a border hawk to a bleeding heart lefty loon, but she doesn't quite get what she deserves. Close enough, though, for shits and giggles.
It's really a shame the border patrol doesn't act as they portray int he movie. THAT was a border patrol that actually patrolled and defended the border! I think the movie was trying to get across the impression that they were all terrible people ... but I liked the job they were doing.
I think the movie's worth watching. It'll piss you off occasionally, but the movie is so inept in its leftiness that it all comes out harmless and sort of funny when you feel pretty much the opposite of what they intended for you.

Dave, you have to reformat the drive. Not some partition of it but THE WHOLE DRIVE. And when you do that you have to tell it to use GPT - it will ask you what type of boot record/partition table you want to use.
After that (which only takes about 10 seconds) you can then create and format your various partitions.

Easiest way:
Get an ubuntu live disk. You can download it and burn a dvd. You can download ubuntu 16 from here:
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Burn a dvd from that and you should be good to go. You can boot up a computer with no hard drive with that disk. It's really essential rescue equipment to have around if you ever have a drive failure and need to get on a computer and look at that drive (without taking it out and all that crap).
Put that dvd into any computer and (if set to boot from dvd) you will be booted up into linux and can do all the stuff you need with the disks on the machine (or attached by usb).
You will need to use the "disks" program or "gparted". Then you can reformat your SSD (using GPT) and do whatever else you need.
While you're booted on with this ubuntu disk the rest of your system is untouched (unless you want to do something to it - such as reformat one of the disks).
BE VERY CAREFUL to make sure you are reformatting the correct disk!! Check the name, capacity, etc. before you do the reformatting so that you don't mistakenly reformat one of your other disks with lots of stuff on it.
Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at August 23, 2017 03:32 AM (rZ+mb)
Never heard of it but I assume it's another linux live disk. All good. I am in total agreement, it's very, very important to have something like this around, and, considering they are free ... why the heck not!

Robert... I don't know the situation, but I've taken a lot of satisfaction in telling the women that I've dated and asked-out, (after they'd rejected me), "You Had Your Chance".
I am not a Rookie, any longer. I am a Woman Veteran and I'm still subject to Feminine Wiles.
I don't know what to tell you. I don't work there, nor do I know the object of your affection.
I know not the ages and maturity-factor involved.
Those who have mentioned that getting involved with co-workers is a bad idea may be correct in their assessment.
I'm not so sure about that, but the "Leagalese" is a thick layer of idiocy that I have yet to fully understand.
It seems important to you, but Young Hormones are a driver that can lead to disaster.
As a guy who has been through the car-wash, I can say that "Easy Women" are not worthy of pursuit.
Nothing worth pursuing is easy. It takes hard work and dedication to achieve a goal.
Avoid "obsession"... lol.
Pray to God and allow His glory to be above all.
Fuck your ego.
Doubt is a seed for Faith, should you allow it.
Sadness is a seed for Joy, as you let it grow.
Allow yourself some years, perhaps and never regret youthful inexperience; so as to cloud your judgement.
I'm not saying, "don't try again", as much as I am saying "Stay The Course" and allow your better judgement to guide your path.
Pray that you can find Him and His Eternal love.
Allow that to be your guide and momentary emotions become secondary.
God allowed the creation of Kleenex. Apologize on Sunday, and you're good.

Paid mercenaries are the core. The death at Charlottesville means they will have a harder time rallying the college useful idiots next time. At some point all the trust-funds, endowments, federal grants, EBT cards, stimulus money, medicaid grants, and subsidies are going to be depleted.
Republicans will try and recharge all of these in an Omnibus bill. Luckily they will be just as good at this as they were in repealing Obamacare. The most they can hope for is to keep spending the same amount which would allow Trump to kill Obama's unauthorized spending.
Wait till the Democrats demand Trump both follow Obamacare to the letter and spend illegally like Obama did.
eg enforce the individual and business mandates and illegally transfer money from Medicare to subsidize the insurance companies.

Slowly, the language was changed. We were told that their violence was "speech" and that our speech was "violence".
As they destroyed property and "Punched 'Nazis', (anyone who disagreed with the leftist position)", to display their "Mostly Non-Violent" displays?
Our eviction from college campuses was simply "preventing violence".
The change in language was a slow gaslighting of the American public, as portrayed by the media.

A Kid I grew up with got hit by a line drive right "there"
He lost one.
It's possible that joker is still in a lot of pain right here and now.

You have my prayers for what they are worth. Hang in there. This can be beat and I have no doubt you will.

I couldn't watch. I did read about. Twice, maybe three times. It was just that enjoyable.

Prayers for you. Chemo is so wearing. Try to keep the rest of your body as healthy as you can.

Gaslighting is a lie designed to make you doubt your own perceptions.

Might our faith and resolve find you through your prolonged ordeal.
Might it buoy your family and friends, as they continue to console their Sister in Christ.
Might your faith allow you to keep praying for others, as well.
Continued love, darlin'.

Medicare Part D is a clever way of means testing Medicare. People not on Medicaid and Medicare and people who buy Medicare Part D coverage subsidize people who are just on Medicare. Medicare would cost more treasure if it wasn't for the Medicare Part D options.
People much smarter than Grubber came up with these schemes. (Ancient Aliens? Makes my hair stand straight up)
Medicare Part D is a George W Bush legacy item. W was more conservative than Trump?

The "official" economic numbers for the Obama years are a prime example. Attempts to portray LGBTQXYZPDQEIEIO as "normal" and "common" are another.

Hemp is much better than nylon for bailing rope. Hemp competes quite well with wood pulp for paper. Hemp competes quite well with cotton.
The number 1 economic issue is that business can not raise prices without sales volume falling so much as to reduce overall sales dollars. That is what is killing retail and killing banking. Great Recession. The trade wars during the Great Depression hurt the US because it was a net exporter. Trump is putting America first by starting a trade war. Plenty of people here have incomes tied to international trade. Sorry if the trade war hurts you. I pray that the job surge makes up for any discomfort.
