The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“Nowhere but America do horrific large-scale mass shootings happen with this degree of regularity. This must stop.” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn."

Quote II

"We welcome you as the leader of the Palestinian people here today. But I will decline the advice I was recently given by your top negotiator, Saeb Erekat. I will not shut up. Rather, I will respectfully speak some hard truths. The Palestinian leadership has a choice to make between two different paths. There is the path of absolutist demands, hateful rhetoric, and incitement to violence. That path has led, and will continue to lead, to nothing but hardship for the Palestinian people." U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley

Quote III

If a lower court treated another right so cavalierly. I have little doubt that this Court would intervene. But as evidenced by our continued inaction in this area, the Second Amendment is a disfavored right in this Court.” Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas

Quote IV

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. Evelyn Beatrice Hall

*****


What once was considered normal is now absurd. Water massager for breasts looks quite Moronish.

*****

Of course NSFW - Paul Joseph Watson and Milo Yiannopoulos discuss current events.

Here's hoping this hunger strike works. There are probably more that need to go on this diet.

“On Friday, February 16th a UVM staff member, John Mejia, announced they would be going on hunger strike until UVM meets all of the demands presented by No Names for Justice last semester including an additional 10 demands that they presented,” the description page read. “It is time for our demands to be met, no more bulls—- emails, no more bulls—- meetings.”

*****

Sunday's ONT comments delved into hangovers. Some said Tequila. Well here you go, how tequila is made.

*****


A Big Mac value meal in Australia is $9.55.

The same meal here in the USA is $5.99.

So why nearly a $4 difference between the two meals? Australia is paying burger flippers $20+/hour.

Wages for service sector jobs tend to be much higher than in Canada, where the dollar currently trades at par with the Australian currency. Entry-level fast-food workers, for example, are paid $20.08 an hour as a base hourly wage. Pay goes up to $25.10 on Saturday, $29.12 on Sunday, and overtime hours are $30.12 for the first two hours and $40.16 for each hour thereafter. On top of this, employers pay 9.5 per cent of wages to every employee's nominated retirement fund. Workers who are non-permanent "casual" employees are generally paid a further 25 per cent of their wages on top of these amounts.

*****

Here's hoping that this next adventure isn't as cheesy as TJ Hooker was. William Shatner signs up for with country music label. h/t some Moron

*****

Do you remember when the USA pulled out of the climate control scam Paris Accords? Oh my the shock and anger expressed towards PDT and us deplorables. The rest of the world is pretty quiet with other nations breaking the Paris Accord.

Indeed, the entire E.U. is on track to fall short of promised reductions, according to the European Environment Agency. So are Japan and Australia. Mexico and South Africa are among the nations who, according to the Climate Action Tracker, are guilty both of promising insufficient reductions and of failing to meet even those promises.

*****


Do you offend easily? Are you a feminist or a cuck? This might not be the video for you.

*****


For the money they are charging, all of the students should get a top bunk at this camp School. UIC professors want to exclude objectionable opinions.

But at American universities, it isn’t just the students you need to worry about.

More than 100 Chicago professors have signed an open letter to Mr. Zimmer objecting to Mr. Bannon’s invitation:

“The university should model inclusion for a country that is reeling from the consequences of racism, xenophobia, and hate.”

Call me an Old Fogey, I miss the days of Evelyn Beatrice Hall and her famous quote.

Tattoos are forever. Perhaps a little research is in order.

When picking out a tattoo, many people decide to go with a word that means something to them, only written in Chinese or Japanese. The problem with that is if you don't speak those languages, you have to trust someone else more familiar with the foreign tongue. Usually that's fine, but it turns out, sometimes it's not, as Alan Wong recently learned.

Wong was taking a flight when he glanced at his seatmate's ankle and saw a word in Chinese and Japanese that probably doesn't say what it's owner thinks it does.

In this week's episode, a human with a hockey stick does everything in his power to stop the robot from opening the door, including tugging on the machine, which struggles in an ... unsettling manner. But the ambush doesn’t work. The dogbot wins and gets through the door anyway.

13 Unqueering the Cake... in California?

One of the most prominent vectors for forcing people against their will to comply with the woke norms of same-sex marriage has been via wedding cakes, where bakers have been forced to use their "personal creative abilities to promote and endorse a same-sex ceremony" lest they face ruination at the hands of post-culture wars shooting-the-wounded-in-the-groin Left.

We've had a drive failure on the server. (Hamsters probably peed on it.)

We'll be moving to a new server early Saturday morning (around 3AM EST).

Site should only be down for 10 minutes or so; comments could be down a bit longer since the entire database has to sync across for them to work.

I'll post a note on the blog before I start the move, and update it when the drama is all over.

55 Welp, I'm probably toast.

Nasty woman at work has decided that she is going to get me fired.

Two people left in a great hurry over the past two weeks, and now she is trying to blame me for their malfeasance, now that there is no way for me to defend myself.

She isn't really my boss, but she had decided to act in that capacity since my boss quit, and she is leveraging her unpleasantness at every opportunity. She once came into my office after everyone else had left and told me what a disappointment I was and how she couldn't believe I was still there since I was on probation, and then she threatened to go to my boss's boss to denounce me.

Now she has her chance. She has bidden her time and she really has saved up her malice for this.

What in hell do I do tomorrow?

Good heavens, do I hate working with nasty women.

81 You know what would be a great thread? A "Show Yourself" thread. You know, where people would post links to images of what they really look like. It could be deleted a day later, but it might solidify the community.

I wouldn't participate myself, because we all know what happened to Spock when he looked at the Medusan ambassador, and I'd really hate it if that happened to you guys. Trust me, it's not fun. It might sound like a "Hold my beer" type thing, but it would not turn out well. Again, trust me on this. I have the statistics.

I wouldn't participate myself, because we all know what happened to Spock when he looked at the Medusan ambassador, and I'd really hate it if that happened to you guys. Trust me, it's not fun.

97 I am just a bundle of anxiety. I can just imagine how this will go down. She is so sure of herself, I can't believe she hasn't saved up some serious crapola to dump on me tomorrow.

As she left today, she leaned in the office and asked if she had given me enough work to last until tomorrow. She was horribly worked up about an extra space on one document, and then really upset when she found some other documents that had been changed some time in January. She is so sure I did all that, and so sure it should get me fired.

She has been there forever, because nobody will hire her away, but she got a promotion about six months ago because nobody else applied for that job.

Good Lord, protect me from malice.

That's actually U. of Chicago in the linked article, not U. of Illinois at Chicago. All the more remarkable because until now, U. of Chicago has been staunchly defending actual freedom of speech from the Stalinist left (whereas U. of Illinois at Chicago has been Bill Ayers' old haunt). I don't think those 100 profs will prevail in getting Steve Bannon banned from campus at U. of Chicago, but ya never know.

Mine made me leave a slip of paper on her desk every night, stating that I'd set the door alarm before I left for the night. I'd never failed to set it. Me and the other woman in Support quit, rather than put up with it. When I found out that she was gone, I applied and got the job back. I guess the chat I had with the owner before I left did open his eyes a bit.

247 Vic posted this morning that today is the anniversary of the publication of The Communist Manifesto.

I'm convinced that Marx and Engels came up with the whole idea of communism because they hated their Jewish families. They both made their livings sponging off their wealthier relatives, and it's clear from their personal writings that they were really resentful of the situation.

So, they envisioned a world where family means nothing, faith means nothing, property means nothing; therefore, it would be justified for them to kill off all their relatives and seize their wealth. It's all "for the People", you know?

272 >>She isn't really my boss, but she had decided to act
in that capacity since my boss quit, and she is leveraging her
unpleasantness at every opportunity. She once came into my office after
everyone else had left and told me what a disappointment I was and how
she couldn't believe I was still there since I was on probation, and
then she threatened to go to my boss's boss to denounce me.



Now she has her chance. She has bidden her time and she really has saved up her malice for this.



What in hell do I do tomorrow?

To be honest, women's hockey is pretty much Canada, the US, and everyone else. If another team, ahem, upsets the much-expected Canada-US final in the world championship or the Olympics it's monumental.

352 Hey, Horde! And Thanks for ONT MisHum!

Checked out the 20 bucks an hour for burger-flipping in Australia hotline and was halfway packed...then decided to use the demonic google of how much everything else costs Down Under.

Okay- resigned to the fact I'll be paid in Australian Dollar (AUD). I'll need a few essentials:

Avg cost of 480 sf apartment in normal area (whatever the hell normal means) is AUD $1800 per month and the expensive area $2700 per month! I'll need a pair of jeans, that will be $115. 1 gallon of gas is $5.45 (which they only sell by liter that I'll put in a tiny POS car that will cost $27,000). I know I'll need Bourbon and coke. The damn coke 2 liter is $3.40! No idea what the bourbon costs. Okay, I'll have 1 domestic beer...for $5 Fucking Dollars!!!

Well, okay, I can still make it at $20 an hr X 38 hours in avg Australian work week...fuck, a 2% Medicare levy and looks like it's going to 2.5% soon. Double fuck, I'm now making $39,520 per year that throws me in the higher tax confiscation bracket where they'll take 32% of every $1 over $37,000 on top of $3,752 they're taking off top!

I quit...staying at home in TX.

A now deceased friend of mine who had spent a number of years with Air America in the far east during the Vietnam War paid a visit to China about ten years ago. He had a screen printer make up several golf shirts bearing the Chinese symbol for Gweilo, which is what the Chinese call we roundeyed folks. He wore them everywhere while in China.

Native Chinese would come up to him and ask if he knew what it meant, usually with a sort of smirk thinking someone had played a trick on him.

He would reply, "Yes, it says Gweilo which means White Devil, which is what you call me. I am Gweilo."

"Ah, so," might be their reply.

Unfortunately Gustavo "Ask A Mexican" (he lost the column when he got fired as Ed-in-Chief of OCWeekly a few months ago, btw) Arellano is worthless today because he's gone so far pro-antifa and anti-Trump, but one thing he taught that is worth considering:

According to Gustavo, among actual Mexicans, they never call us gringos; that's what white Americans THINK Mexis call them. G always said, actual Mexis call Americans gabachos, which is a slur for the French who got their asses kicked in a war (which one, not sure) in Mexico in the 1800s.

478 I picked up little Malcolmette from school today. The usual small talk ensued (she is 13, so we haven't yet fully transitioned to the phase where she answers with only one word responses) regarding grades, tests, cheating students, etc.

Then she transitions our conversation into "So I saw where some kids in Florida walked out of school about guns or something".

"Yeah I saw that," says I.

"Are they idiots Dad? If you can't defend the schools or your house from robbers with a gun, you'll get killed. Even if you have a knife, they will just shoot you. They ought to practice shooting guns like I do and they would know more about it"

"Very true. Are the kids at your school talking about it?"

"One girl has it up on her Instagram. I used to think she had half a brain, but I'm starting to think I was wrong."

I'll need a pair of jeans, that will be $115. 1 gallon of gas is $5.45 (which they only sell by liter that I'll put in a tiny POS car that will cost $27,000). I know I'll need Bourbon and coke. The damn coke 2 liter is $3.40! No idea what the bourbon costs. Okay, I'll have 1 domestic beer...for $5 Fucking Dollars!!!

Well, okay, I can still make it at $20 an hr X 38 hours in avg Australian work week...fuck, a 2% Medicare levy and looks like it's going to 2.5% soon. Double fuck, I'm now making $39,520 per year that throws me in the higher tax confiscation bracket where they'll take 32% of every $1 over $37,000 on top of $3,752 they're taking off top!


Australia is an expensive place to live. Minimum wages are high, pay for high-income jobs is fare below US levels, taxes are high.

2% for universal healthcare that mostly works isn't that bad though - and you do get to deduct half if you have private insurance.

Housing is enormously expensive, partly due to an ongoing influx of Chinese immigrants. We haven't had the property boom/bust cycle that other countries have been through; it's been a 20+ year boom with no end in sight.

for that reason alone, every one of the Olympic Officials and broadcasters who tried to turn this into a feel good event should be involuntarily airdropped into North Korea for the Otto Warmbier experience,

589 Hockey is not always easy to watch on TV. As Vendette says, watch the players more than the puck itself. If you have watched or played hockey a lot, it becomes quite easy to "follow" the game without seeing the puck 1/3 of the time - you know what's happening based on what should happen, what the players are doing, their sticks, etc.


I'm really happy there are women involved now and they get to enjoy the great team sport that is hockey, but I find their games unwatchable. It's like watching rec league, without knowing the guys or being in their house league. Suppose it's a lot like the WNBA problem (though I find the regular NBA mostly boring, too).


Eh, personal preference. I didn't think yesterday's US-Czech men's game was very good or interesting, at all. No play-making, not much discipline. The only game so far I've enjoyed was Sweden-Finland. Lots of everything - hitting, good offensive play, and drama.

Sweden-Finland. Lots of everything - hitting, good offensive play, and
drama.

611 An office I worked in ages ago, long before the digital/internet era, received dozens of foreign newspapers and publications, including the Times of London. Once in a while someone would cut out a short article summarizing the results of cricket matches ("tests") and put on the bulletin board where we posted humorous stuff from around the world.


The humor here was that, in a 6 paragraph short article, every word would be English, the sentences were of course properly and well composed - and nobody could say what any of it meant. Might as well have been in Mandarin.

612 481 Avg cost of 480 sf apartment in normal area (whatever the hell normal means) is AUD $1800 per month and the expensive area $2700 per month! I'll need a pair of jeans, that will be $115. 1 gallon of gas is $5.45 (which they only sell by liter that I'll put in a tiny POS car that will cost $27,000). I know I'll need Bourbon and coke. The damn coke 2 liter is $3.40! No idea what the bourbon costs. Okay, I'll have 1 domestic beer...for $5 Fucking Dollars!!!

Well, okay, I can still make it at $20 an hr X 38 hours in avg Australian work week...fuck, a 2% Medicare levy and looks like it's going to 2.5% soon. Double fuck, I'm now making $39,520 per year that throws me in the higher tax confiscation bracket where they'll take 32% of every $1 over $37,000 on top of $3,752 they're taking off top!

Australia is an expensive place to live. Minimum wages are high, pay for high-income jobs is fare below US levels, taxes are high.

2% for universal healthcare that mostly works isn't that bad though - and you do get to deduct half if you have private insurance.

Housing is enormously expensive, partly due to an ongoing influx of Chinese immigrants. We haven't had the property boom/bust cycle that other countries have been through; it's been a 20+ year boom with no end in sight.

629 Vendette I've enjoyed the bigger ice, as usual, and the much more fluid flow of play it generally produces (200 X 85 is just small for the size of players they're growing these days). But in the few games I've watched, I think I've noticed one thing that always happened at my level of play when we are on the big ice - fewer shots on goal. Using all that space means you're noticeably further from the net a lot of the time, when you've got the puck in their zone.


Also, and maybe not related, FFS teams just will *not* shoot, even on power plays. These ridiculous endless attempts to set up a Central Army-style tic-tac-toe goal - and none of these teams have the talent or system to reproduce those amazing kinds of plays. And no traffic in front - ever. WTFF? In friggin' pick-up scrimmages I play in people make sure to get traffic in front of the goalie if they can. Nothing but clear white ice in front of the goalies 90% of the time at the Olympics, power play or full strength.

Have actually done Okinawa and most of the military museums in Japan (they actually have them now).


And some day back to the former USSR, though the actual pickings are slim (lots and lots and lots of battlefields, natch, but not much to visit now).

An amazing unwritten code had developed - to cross the street, you just started out across. Maintain a moderate consistent pace - and everyone just flowed around you, like a large rock in a river. Unnerving until you got used to it.


Still clearly recall marveling at the women carrying lunch on platters to nearby offices, walking across a huge avenue downtown - the scooters all just parting to cruise around them. The women were laughing and talking amongst themselves, not even looking "up-stream".

697 The bigger ice in international hockey is, to be charitable, "interesting".

It's like the 3-on-3 in NHL regular-season overtime. It's something, but it's not really hockey.

Hockey,
at its best anyway, is very much physical as well as technical. It's
bodychecks and frustration. It's mediocrity thwarting
brilliance through dogged perseverance. It's life. And then halfway out of nowhere,
it's Auston Matthews firing that impossible-angle shot over your hapless
goalie's shoulder.

(no, I'm not a Leaf fan, why would you think that.)

The

big ice, like the 3-on-3, takes away most of the physical, and leaves
you with a sort-of-entertaining but ultimately unsatisfying half-sport.
An All-Star game, a nothing, a Quidditch, an event that even those who
do watch, must, in their innermost, hold in their viewing cheap.

703 The moment CA began raising its minimum wage to $15 an hour the food prices at restaurants began to soar. There's a Taco place (near a couple places which could not afford to stay open due to the wage hikes) down the street I used to eat at every weekend that is now well above my price range, because, even as the price of ingredients went down, it became more expensive to pay the workers.

Posted by: Bandersnatch at February 22, 2018 01:48 AM (fuK7c)

711 Nah, halfback, big ice hockey - with the players to utilize it - is far better. If you like speed and the other unique advantages of hockey. Mostly due to the size and athletic ability of the players, NHL hockey is often boring pushing and shoving and dumping the puck. And let's not forget the full wind-up slap shots from 30 feet missing the net - from players who've got 70MPH wrist shots (i.e., it's a dumbly played game).


The Sweden-Finland game had lots of hitting. Though, let's define "hitting" in it's contemporary meaning. Not hip checks. Rarely mid-ice shoulder in the chest. 80% of hitting is now from behind, or rub-outs along the boards. Or shoving and cross-checking along the boards.


To each their own. Really two things going on here. 200 X 85 can be a great game too of course, depending on pace and style. More a question of the player size/athletic power now, which just ends up negating each other most of the time. Give me a Fedorov or Bure going through a defenseman one-on-one any day over *most* of what we see now.

Have not yet been to Korea. Always thought that the entire place should be like the Normandy region of France - where Americans are still viewed positively and history is considered recent. Did know a S. Korean officer for a while overseas - he was gung-ho crazy pro-US, but that sort of goes with the territory for being a senior officer on the way up in that military.

762 A quote to share from my grandpa that I recorded on paper when the world went crazy after Reagan was elected...

"This country sure is troubled, but when has it not been, huh? It's a good thing the Lord never allows us to go through more than we can shoulder."

He lived through the great depression, served in WWII, traveled the world and all over this country, saw the crazy during the hippy phase, and so many other things. He saw the country tested time and again. He saw the best of it and the worst of it. He was a tough patriot. He loved this country immensely and actively did whatever he could to play a part in being helpful to his nation and his own local community. When he would talk about the nation's past that he witnessed, which wasn't often, he'd almost always say things like... "We thought the world was going to crack into!" or "It was like someone turned our country upside down."

It did me some good to come across this quote and reflect tonight on what generations before came through. I just wanted to share that today with you wonderful people today. I'm not sure if it helps but I offer it just the same. I wasn't sure why I felt it so important to write down back then, but I understood it better as I got older. This country has always had its troubles and it always will, but it keeps on ticking!

I think my grandpa would've really enjoyed this site. And he would've laughed his ass off at Hillary losing.

777 I imagine Hat would only ingest the best of what life would offer. He seems pretty discriminating in taste.
No lumpy oatmeal for him.

778 756 Skip, you missed sub par acting by everybody on that show. I still cannot believe that a 15 year old kid has more political common sense than Rubio and Dana SuperBeets. No excuse in any republican or conservative showing up to that scripted production unless they are part of it.

What a fraud SuoerBeets chick is.

I hope that's right. Are we like Rome or is there still time? I'd like to think the rot was not irreversible, but I'd like to start seeing some positive signs: the wall being started, a real pushback against rogue judges, a start to getting rid of illegals and chain "refugees".

Yeah, it's much more effective to just shut up and not make any attempt to counter "obvious commie gun grabbing propaganda". We should all just shut up and let the other side do as they damn well please, uncontested, because not even attempting to fight for principles is such an effective, winning strategy.

790 Mornin'.

Anyone see the Youtube vids compiling instances of the MFM adding "gunshot" sound effects to interviews with David "The Attention" Hogg, before the vids were taken down? Over and over, whenever Hogg says words like "gunshot" or any variation, a low level, quasi-subliminal "pop" sound is heard.

This isn't tinfoil hat stuff, I sought out some of the original interview clips and they are there.

YouTube is taking down any videos about this and Google is helping out by blacklisting them.

There are lots of youtube video downloaders. Downloadhelper comes to mind, but I don't know if it's the best or even still exists.

Grab them when you see them so you can send not just a link but the actual video to somewhere like Brietbart.

We've had a drive failure on the server. (Hamsters probably peed on it.)

We'll be moving to a new server early Saturday morning (around 3AM EST).

Site should only be down for 10 minutes or so; comments could be down a bit longer since the entire database has to sync across for them to work.

I'll post a note on the blog before I start the move, and update it when the drama is all over.

Against kids on CNN where you know it will be a scripted Town Hall. Yes, do not show up and let them have a Marxist hate fest.

Then you find the pro 2A kids and find a fair venue and invite the other side and have a real town hall meeting.

There was no way to win that battle. Zero. She did it for selfish reasons to gain viewers but at the end of the day she and Rubio were the key ingredients to the propaganda. They legitimized it and CNN by showing up to a scripted event.

814 I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. - Evelyn Beatrice Hall

This quote has always amused me. First of all, it was written by a woman to reflect something she thought Voltaire might say. Now, does anyone believe a woman or Voltaire would actually defend anything to the death. The woman would be like, "Let's you and him fight to the death and see who wins!" Voltaire would be, "Oh, my goodness!. How bloody and brutish. Let us retire to the salon!"

It is a good platitude to wave about when discussing free speech. But, there are few people that would actually do it. A more accurate statement would be "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it. Until it looks like the feces is about to hit the fan, then you're on your own. Serves you right for saying something so stupid around people with guns, knives, pitchforks, blackjacks, two-by-fours, bricks, garrotes, gasoline......."
