Tonight's ONT Has Got What You Need

And that's levity. Good news. Funny stuff. None of the negative crap that poisons the news and social media.

Baseball Has Been Very Very Good To Me

Baseball is back! Spring training starts July 1, with a 60 game season to follow. In a move that's sure to generate absolutely no controversy what so ever, National League clubs will begin using the DH this year.

Long Live the Designated Hitter

Against the Universal DH

So, does anyone have any thoughts on this? No one? Didn't think so, lets move on.

Parler


There has been a mass movement from Twitter to Parler. I won't say exodus, because most people seem to be using both platforms, at least for the moment. If you're a Moron who has moved to Parler, post your handle so we can find you. Mine is @Weirddave.

Famous Television Show Home Floor Plans

This guy created pretty detailed floor plans for the homes featured in a bunch of TV shows. Like this one:

Frasier.jpg

Speaking of Frasier, the wife and I decided to re-watch it a couple of months ago. Not binge watching, but 1 or 2 episodes each night before bed. The show holds up – it's still funny, and the writing is as tight as ever. The problem is that it's kind of a one trick pony – almost every show is centered around Frasier and Niles doing something Frasiery or Nilesish and the inevitable consequences that everyone except them could see coming a mile away. It got a little monotonous. We stopped after about 4 seasons and decided to come back to it in a few months hoping it would seem fresher then.

It got a little monotonous. We stopped after about 4 seasons and decided to come back to it in a few months hoping it would seem fresher then.

Frasier was probably the pinnacle of the sitcom. Yes it was a bit formulaic, but that works if you only watch it once a week, with a long break between each season. You get enough time that the jokes start to fade from memory and are thus funny again in their next iteration.

I believe the career path is to suffer or die grievously in a futile gesture while feeling virtuous.

76 great things about baseball.

1. no DH in the NL
2. but the AL has it so when there's interleague play, someone's fucked.
3. no standard stadium/outfield layout. You can have a clean outfield or one where the fucking ball gets lost in a nook/corner and gives you an infield homer.
4. At least one park that still has the bullpen on the field next to the goddamned game.

love it.

I did try to sign up using an SMS free site, but thanks to their awful Captcha, which fails one the App 95% of the time even when i was using my real number, it now says my email is already registered, but won't send confirmation or a new activation code.

If they iron out some of those kinks I'll probably sign up and use it, if i can actually get activated that is.

110 @71 Let's face it: if social workers were routinely successful, they'd work themselves out of a job. Wouldn't do, would it?

------------------

Unfortunately, their work-load is self-renewing no matter how successful they are.

I became friends with a social worker several years ago at church. Nice woman with a fairly cynical view of many of the people that she was trying to help. She got married not long after I met her and moved away, so I don't know what she's doing these days.

Funny you should mention this. A lot of us priced out of the Bay Area ended up in the Greater Sacramento area, where the state gov'ment, like the Borg, will absorb you anyway. I did not dream of becoming a bureaucratic flunkie, but I did the cost/benefit analysis. Of course, there is the soul-crushing need to keep one's mouth shut about one's politics on the day job. Surprisingly, there are more "moles" in the Kalifornia Bureaukratik than you would think. We are like the Christians of 3rd Century Rome hiding in the catacombs.

Right before BBoy^2 was born, the Daughter of Satan worked in the nursery in the hospital in Louisville (Baptist East). Some of the new parents weren't always able to get to the hospital for whatever reason. So I'd go up there, sit in a rocking chair and feed the newborns.

222 The baby's weight is not the main determinant of survival, it's the status of lung development. Before 22 weeks there are only very minimal alveolar air sacs and there is no way to ventilate the baby. That is the lower limit of surcvivabvility outside the womb (barring some future technological innovation such as liquid ventilation that promotes more alveolar growth).

That's why I wonder if the baby was more mature developmentally though small.

242 Frasier's dad. A hermit. A little weird.



Not Gay.



Mahoney knows that if he'd had a family to support, he might not have been quite so cavalier. He always expected to marry, and has had several long-term relationships, but it never happened for him. 'I was never very mature in my relationships with women. First sign of conflict, I was gone. Wouldn't discuss it, because I was afraid it would lead to an argument. And it's weird, because my brothers and sisters all have great marriages. I took the fear of marriage from my parents' relationship, because I didn't want to end up in a relationship like that, whereas my brothers and sisters learnt a lesson from it and made sure they didn't carry it on into their own marriages.' As for company, he has a big extended family, and then there's Steppenwolf. 'We just don't sit around pontificating about art. We talk about baseball... football. There are people we've worked with, guest stars, who if they'd only been a little more human, would have been invited to join the company. But they were just a little too ethereal for us. We're a very down-to-earth group of people.'

I loved that show, it had the highest quality writing of any comedy of any sitcom in at least 30 years, with only Seinfeld as a rival. (Different styles, Seinfeld is absurdist, Frasier is intellectual humor)

And the episodes with his agent Bebe were the best, by far.

Oh, you caught a whole team cheating their asses off for at least a year? No punishments whatsoever for the players, they don't have to vacate the trophy, absolutely nothing. The Black Sox were banned for life. Manfred is a tool. Baseball has very very very little integrity left. Who knows how deep the cheating iceberg goes.

Let me tell you what happened to CA. We won the Cold War, then the defense and aerospace industries folded up, and the heretofore underground Communist Academic, Media, and Entertainment Leftists rose to the forefront. "Isn't it ironic - don't you think?"

And then the Wall Street Journal greedheads just wanted their cheap gardeners and maids, so they imported a vast underclass to vote for the aforementioned underground Communists, and the greedheads even deluded themselves into thinking they could win a Hispandering contest. It didn't work.

And that, TLDR, is what happened to Cali.

It's just a mess. probably because they only have a single server or using a shared server because they didn't want to invest any money until they had a following.

That's not how starting a new business works.

It was real, BUT the trick was that photo was taken with a telephoto lens and nothing near it to give you a size comparison. You can also see it in the picture from 2019 that CTH published.

The picture from Noosecar looks like it was this Great Big Noose - in fact, it was about 2 inches across. Because it was just a handpull. So why would someone tie a noose for a handpull? Because it's a good knot, it works, and before the last couple days there wasn't a single white person in this country who knew that shape would make a Grown Man break down in tears while simultaneously wetting his pants.

The fact is that since 1965, we have essentially opened the floodgates. Prior to that, from 1921 to 1965, immigration was quite restrictive, with a net deportation in the 1930s (not surprising). Prior to that, another floodtide from about 1880 to 1920. Prior to that, the Civil War and Reconstruction shut down most immigration.

We have had alternating cycles of open and closed floodgates. Time to close them again. And I say this even though in Cali "The women who like men don't speak English well, and the women who speak English well, don't like men...."

We were able to engage them in a comparison of the American Revolution and the French Revolution (of which they had no familiarity) and point out the results of pure democracy's tendency to degenerate into mob rule, chaos and violence with an eventual clamor for return of 'strong man' rule to restore order. They were able and willing to draw some parallels to current events.
They are ready to be red pilled.

he was an intensely personal man and would never talk about his private
life while he was alive.

Butler was gay, Hibbert who played Gil Chesterton was gay and so is David Hyde Pierce of course. I think Grammar mentioned that there were several gay writers for the show as well. I haven't seen anything concrete about Mahoney. Sure since he was a bachelor and intensely private, lots of places on the net say hew was gay. But there is nothing in wikipedia that says this is so and I have seen nothing where he says he is gay. In fact, Wikipedia mentions an article where he talks about having several relationships with women but they never worked out long term so he didn't marry.

To be clear, I don't care whether he or anyone else is gay, straight, or whatever. I am just saying I have seen nothing online that proves he was gay or where he said he was or where a close friend says he was. It might be out there but I have not seen it. You do get sites where people claim it, but that doesn't make it so.

I think the funny thing is he played the All American guy versus the Brits and sophisticates around him. But Mahoney was born and raised in England.

This is what I miss most in modern shows, why I can't watch them. I love it when a show allows writers to create a set of really great Characters; after that the stories are easy, you introduce something and your characters react and play off each other.

395 kbdabear, man I miss I those channels. they'd play things no radio station today would bother with. I remember hearing entire Santana and Yes albums played. and they even played Lennon's "woman is the n***** of the world" song without beeping it out. I don't much like the song (never liked Lennon's political stuff) but Imagine any station playing that one today.

We had an "underground" FM station out of Birmingham we listened to at Jax State (Alabama). Same format that you mentioned. That's where I heard the Dixie Dregs for the first time. Free Fall wasn't even out yet but Cruise Control was in their regular rotation.

Whole album sides, all day and night. Band and concert news. *sigh* I miss the old days...

I will confess that as a Generation Xer, were were not as well schooled as were our Silent Generation or early Boom Generation parents. "New Math", "Open Education" and all that crap.

And all through the 1980s, there were reports like "A Nation At Risk", which made me think Generation Y / Millennial and Z behind me would be better educated. But they are not.

And now Generation X is middle aged.

Posted by: nerdygirl at June 25, 2020 11:26 PM (+lVUW)



This is what I miss most in modern shows, why I can't watch them. I
love it when a show allows writers to create a set of really great
Characters; after that the stories are easy, you introduce something and
your characters react and play off each other. Barney Miller, Night
Court, all of the really great comedies used this model. Hard to
think of any today.

Posted by: Tom Servo at June 25, 2020 11:31 PM (V2Yro)

Bebe and Chesterton were great. They should have had Gil on more. Some people for some reason didn't care for Bebe. I thought her episodes were some of the best.
I don't watch modern sitcoms if there even are any of those these days. Give me Wings, Frasier, King of Queens, Just Shoot Me, and News Radio any day. I have seen them all many times. I take that back, I do like Last Man Standing.

It's a story about Islam made by some fool woman who traveled over there and saw what it was like, but who had to come back and slander her own culture by pretending that it was just as bad as the REAL women hating theocratic culture she had seen. Oh, but never a word of criticism about Islam by her.

463 Well, gang, since there is a lull, I ask this: Can the GOP (and I mean real GOP, not GOPee) get enough victories to take back the House and get the Botoxed bitch back to her little seat in San Francisco?

I think the Left has alienated enough people that Trump will at least win as handily as Bush did in 2004, perhaps even a landslide, because the Left has been utterly rabid and Trump has at least earnestly tried to do what he said he would.

But honestly? We need to Take Back the House, and retain or even consolidate the Senate.

Something has to happen to make the more mature and less Communistic Democrats snap out of it and realize that "the Squad" of spoiled rotten AntiFA children have driven their Party into the ground.

Can it happen?

Posted by: JTB at June 25, 2020 11:46 PM (7EjX1)

Agreed! I have a bottle of Pikesville. Great sipper - and surprisingly not too harsh at 110 proof.

I also very much enjoy Bulliet Rye. Under $30. Whistle Pig is great rye but it's more than twice as much as Bulliet. Sazerac rye is nice too.

476 Wasted Time

Well baby there you stand
With your little head down in your hand
Oh my God I can't believe
It's happening again
Your baby's gone and you're all alone
And it looks like the end...
Back out on the street
And you're tryin' to remember, oh
How will we start it over?
You don't know if you can
You don't care much for a stranger's touch
But you can't hold your man
Never thought you'd be alone
This far down the line
But I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
About the first time that you fell fell
You didn't love the boy too much
No, no you just loved the boy too well well well well
So you live from day to day
And you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something to make them go away...
I could have done so many things baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wonderin' what I left behind
And from worrying 'bout this wasted time

Another love has come and gone
The years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together
You got to leave it alone...
So you can get on with your search baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time

480 Chicken processing facilities had fairly yuuuge test #s, also 95% asymptomatic.

Wastewater analysis in Italy indicates presence in mid-December. Every new study emerging pushes back date of introduction and especially prevalence (number of exposed and infected) - the latter sometimes by large, large margins.

I've said here for a while that this will likely be a tremendous debacle that will *not* result in much of a learning curve, because now, months into it, the public discussion remains illiterate, misleading, even ridiculous.

It's nobody's "fault" that it wasn't detected earlier, like when it first arrived (that's near impossible)*. However it is very troubling that CDC and many others violated their own settled doctrine on such things by going to radical mitigation measures - and especially persisting with them - for a "prevalent" virus (well above 1% of populace infected/exposed).

It's a meta thing. If everyone from the WH to the governor of TX *still* are not acting and/or talking based on science and logic and the known facts, the de facto vandalism in places like MI and WA and IL is hardly surprising.

* leaving aside Chi-Nah's outrageous mendacity here - even if they had acted properly, good chance, with a novel bug and the interconnected nature of today's world, true containment would have been unlikely

IF the next 4 months go a certain way, and IF the GOP retakes the House, and IF Trump is re-elected, it's imaginable there'd be some at least short-lived different environment, so that the catastrophe of 2017-18 is not repeated (I refer to inaction and political limpness on the Hill). But I think the Senate remains an insuperable road-block. Judges, yeah. Beyond that? Nah.

Steiner was out of the picture quickly, as he had no capability of launching an effort to relieve the government district, and so communicated to the bunker.

Keitel actually left the bunker and went west to find Wenck's 12th Army, returned to the bunker and provided a fairly optimistic report. Wenck tried to move east but was stopped almost immediately by the Red Army in his area, and wisely and admirably immediately turned his attention to evacuating civilians westward, while also trying to break-through and free a surrounded Wehrmacht group to his southeast (that also mostly failed).

Wenck (the "boy general", one of the youngest Wehrmacht generals) was clean enough that he went on to serve as one the earliest senior generals in the new Bundeswehr.

526 @525 Didn't Wenck delay the US Army enough that by the time he turned east the Eisenhower called off going to Berlin?

----------------------

My understanding is that the decision by the Western Allies not to go to Berlin was purely a political decision based off of the plans already formulated by the political leadership of the Big Three regarding the division of spheres of influence in post-War Europe.

Or in other words, it wasn't really connected to where the front lines were located.

I watch Leo Turrell on FOX and wonder why he zagged away from covering for the Left and now is attacking the BLM/Antifa nonsense with accuracy, detail, and his own special intensity.

It's really amazing.

I don't think Leo is someone who would change like that because of money. I do think he finally had enough bullshit and just exploded.

Regardless, it is a good thing to see Leo come over to the American side.

531 Beartooth, no.

Berlin was not really a military objective for Eisenhower in the last phase of the war. A memo from Marshall in late March confirmed Ike's analysis that the primary objective was destroying Germany's war-making capability ASAP, and that meant driving south of Berlin, towards Dresden.

There was misunderstanding and a bit of ambiguity in the expectations of US field commanders, who assumed Berlin was a prime objective. This was evident when shortly after elements of the 2nd Armored had established small bridgeheads across the Elbe, they were told to stand fast for the moment. But the plan hadn't changed, it just hadn't been translated all the way into specifics for the end-game, and the advance had been very rapid and ahead of schedule.

Churchill and Montgomery wanted Berlin for other reasons - and apparently thought they wouldn't have to subsequently give up territory they'd bought with their soldiers' blood (Berlin was well into the agreed Soviet zone), or "trade" that territory for something else. Top US commanders were quite averse to buying territory, temporarily, with American lives, when the military center of gravity was further south. We also were very concerned to block the Red Army from advancing along the Baltic coast and possibly taking Denmark - Monty's main role was to get to Lubeck and block off the Danish peninsula.

Also - there was concern about a "southern redoubt" to which German forces and leadership might retreat, to continue the fight. The intel on this was mixed, mostly negative, but a prudent approach was to block southward movement, and this also was served by a thrust more toward central Germany than Berlin.

And on top of all this, Ike and Marshall were under tremendous pressure to wrap up the kinetic phase and start moving bodies to the Pacific, quickly. The "manpower crisis" of March 1945 and the whole pattern of stress the Japan invasion schedule placed on almost everything done in Europe towards the end seems to be generally unknown to most people today.

"New Mexico Shooting Raises Specter Of Right-Wing Violence Around Statue Protests" "DOJ tries to oust US attorney investigating Trump allies" "Trump back in rally form in Tulsa, but the promised crowd doesn't show" "NASCAR investigation underway after noose found in Bubba Wallace's garage stall at Talladega" "Car owner Richard Petty 'enraged' by noose in driver Bubba Wallace's garage" "2 Republicans opposed by Trump win in Kentucky, N.

Someday, Weirddave, I hope to serve you a fresh Dungeness Left Coast crab feast. We will figure out if you are a piler, or a picker. Two completely different lifestyles.

And unlimited lemon, melted butter, and cocktail sauce refills, as desired.

My late wife grew up in Annandale, VA and loved her blue crabs, until she finished off some Dungeness. Mind changed.

There were also times when eating Dungeness and the trimmings was a religious experience, but in reality, it was a Knights of Columbus fundraiser, with unlimited microbrew and wine.

Well, come to think of it, those crab dinner fundraisers were religious experiences to at least a few of us.

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard shared a passionate message about being Black in America after he said he was kicked out of a South Carolina restaurant.

Leonard posted the video to his Facebook page Thursday, saying he was with three other Black men and a mixed race woman at a Chipotle in Florence, South Carolina when a manager approached them at the end of their meal and asked if there was a problem. Leonard said the manager told the group a White male said the group had been verbally abusing him.

"It was basically a lie," Leonard said.

Leonard's group was kicked out of the restaurant.

"We know that if that manager would have called the cops right then and there, we know what would have went down," he said. "And it's wrong in America.

"That's what being Black in America is right now. Us not doing anything wrong, going out to eat with your family, just trying to spend quality time. You can't even enjoy eating anymore," Leonard said.

I also don't generally go for offending swaths of people unless they're leftists.

But yeah. Our side. From now on any dumbfuck wants to bitch about "Trump's tweets" can go shit in a corner. I'm tired of it. You don't get it. You never will. Face facts, you're slow. You must think Trump is some kind of idiot, or he's driven by something other than his job, the country or the desires of his voters. Maybe it's his "ego". Totally false. I'm tired of it.

Six hours before, it was swimming at about 75 feet depth in Puget Sound. Grab one by the top of the shell as it tries to get away, knife it, crack off the shell, break in two, swoosh the halves in the bay until the guts are gone.

Toss in the cooler full of fresh ice. Next crab.

Six minutes in boiling water, no more. Salt water in a big pot is better than fresh water, if possible. Eat hot or ice down for later, and serve it cold.

The sweetest meat anywhere. I've only been catching and eating Dungeness for over a half century.

Yes to drawn, warm butter. And lemon slices. Not a cocktail sauce guy myself, but to each his own.

Piler or picker. It's more than a choice, it is a philosophy. I've been both, but then again, I'm an old fart.

Big enough to offer up bite-worthy bits of meat, but still sweeter than the larger King Crab, by far.

Best I've done with 'em, is to order up a pound of such at Joe's Crab Shack, with all the fixins.

And then when that was done, to order up a second round, exactly the same, and polish it off, too.

Please to remember that we are Americans, living in he most exceptional country on the planet, populated by an extraordinary people, governed by the most unique political system in history.

We've met and triumphed over other perilous situations (some even more so) in our past, as we will this one.

So never despair and because we're Americans, you hold that head HIGH and PROUD.

Our heritage demands it.

Goodnight, good people. Be safe, stay warm and sleep well.

Grab the crab pots and the cooler.

Go to the grocery store and buy Turkey legs (yep, and any store around the marina will sell them).
Also buy beer and ice, maybe a snack.

Leave the dock with all items.

First, open a beer.

When you get to the crab grounds, put the turkey leg into the bait box and drop the pots. The float is properly marked, so no need to do so.

Putt off the crab grounds to any area. Turn off the motor. Continue to drink more beer.

In a few hours, pull the pots, keep all males over 6 and 1/2 inches on the shell.

Check turkey legs and refill as necessary, and drop the pot back in the water. Before starting the motor, open another beer.

Putt off to a new spot, and open more beer. Wait. Talk about sports, politics, women (unless the wives are also on board)

Repeat until all limits have been reached for the day and bag.

Now red, you've gotta admit, that's pretty easy.

Oh, and don't run out of beer.

600 One of the key issues regarding COVID that has frosted my cornflakes is how the FED incentive to give money to hospitals treating this class of patient might have had the effect to which hospitals "cooked their reporting" on what would be normally presenting patients by checking the COVID box because they also presented with some vague symptom that also fell into the categories of symptoms for COVID. That they were not obligated to actually test said patient to confirm COVID set up the potential for defacto abuse of the incentive by some less than Scrupulousness For-Profit Hospital Chains.

Remember.......we have NEVER done this degree of testing for the annual Flu season. We used to go on year to year modeling only. Which is why this year just feeds into the mass hysteria that the MSM is more than happy to promote with their daily PANIC PORN.

That's for Cajun Swamp Crabs. (insert dead wife crabs put her back for more joke here)

On Deadliest Catch, they soak the pots for twelve hours at minimum, and usually for 24 hours or more.

Side note. I worked with a USCG 100 licensed 100 ton Captain in the sailing school industry here on the Texas Gulf Coast.

She'd earned her tonnage time as a cook aboard the Bearing Sea Crab Fleet.

Everything you see on the TV show is mostly an understatement, and edited for decency.

They could not show on TV how bad it really gets out there. Both the seas, and the mayhem aboard ship.

She reports that the cameras tend to have a calming effect on behavior with the crews.

611 > They could not show on TV how bad it really gets out there. Both the seas, and the mayhem aboard ship.

It's gotten a lot safer in recent years, since the state switched from a "derby" system (season opens, then closes as soon as the year's limit is taken) to a quota system, where the boat is assigned an allowed quota at the beginning of the season, and can catch them any time they want.

The derby system tempted them to go out in bad weather, lest the limit be reached before they were even on the grounds.

Note "safer", not "safe".

Me, I was never tempted, even back in the 80's when a crew member could pull in $50-100k for a couple of weeks work.

Every crab fisherman I've known in Alaska has been crazy as a shit house rat. The guys on that show are the relatively normal ones.

Oh yes, absolutely.

The examples of what constitutes a Covad death are ridiculous.

We don't have access to detailed statistics, because it would show us the level of scam it is. But I would guess that half of the deaths have either an underlying problem, or the person was flat-out close to checking out anyway.

What we do know is that if you are generally healthy, eat some Vitamin D, and are under 70, you are probably ok.

People under 35? Better chance of dying by falling in the shower.

633 Side fact.

The 100 Captain to whom I had referred.

Circa 2001, she was one of only six female USCG licensed Captains who also held Tall Ship endorsements on their tickets.

And I've never seen a human who could throw a Bowline into a length of line under duress, as quickly as she did in once in an Under Tow situation.

I'd sail into Hell under her helm.

But would not fight under her Rainbow Flag.

Pity, as she was 100% Moron 'Ette Warrior under sail, and then 100% Subaru stereotype, once ashore.

And when he marched across the Rust Belt, I went on a bender--of joy.

Anyway, if "The "society" and "culture" (of the Left) will like react to a 2nd Trump term in an even uglier, more un-American, more Third World fashion than the ongoing 3.5 year disgrace," then I can't help but think the majority of us will have to blacklist them (pun intended this time around?).

If we can drive the 21st century Emma Goldman types among them into exile, as the Palmer Raids did, all the better.

I will know victory is achieved when one of their talking heads starts sniveling something to the effect of "Waaaah! You're questioning my patriotism!"

To which our response will be, "You bet we are, you communist leftover, tenured radical, welfare sucking, quota filling, gender mutilated parasite..."

Education, K-8 and beyond, needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. Privatization would be best if at all possible. The Fed gvt shouldn't be involved at all.

On another note, I'm hearing 300 years of slavery and think it must relate to the 1619 project. Other than educational realms, how is this information being disseminated?

Yes, the most public Dems are the easy obvious target but when we have Graham, Collins, McConnell, King, Rubio, Murkowsky, McSally, and on and on, tearing away at us from the inside, an electoral landslide just gives us a repeat of 2017-2018 where DACA remains, Obamacare remains, border stays porous, budget stays insane, liberal policies abound.

I'm a broken record on this, but it's shameful how basic investing isn't taught in high school. Seniors might get five minutes the last week of school or the like, but there should be a week or more spent on it, and practical examples with sped-up time.

It's trivially easy to become a millionaire just by putting $150 or so away each month (to say nothing of buying a used car for $15K and investing the other $20K in your twenties), but parents don't know how and schools don't teach it.

I'm guessing it would severely cut into the take out a loan and go to college scam.

I've told the nieces and nephews when they were younger my savings plan when I was in my 20's. Cash your check, put 2/3rds in the bank. The other 1/3rd goes into your wallet. When you have no more money in your wallet, you are done spending.
Keep an envelope with whatever is left in your wallet at the end of the week. That is your savings for something you really really want like, in my time, a stereo. Quite often by the time you save that money for it, you realize you don't want it.

833 It's trivially easy to become a millionaire just by putting $150 or so away each month (to say nothing of buying a used car for $15K and investing the other $20K in your twenties), but parents don't know how and schools don't teach it.

I may have said this already, but once you've been indoctrinated that the United States is a fundamentally illegitimate country, its ideals a fraud and its history one of oppression and blood, then any and all symbols that might celebrate it are fair game for obliteration.

So forget anything about "Confederates". It's not war on the unsavory aspects of our past, it's war on our strivings in the present.

852 I've had the virus for 3 weeks. I caught it during Memorial Day Vacation. I'm in my late 30's, healthy lifting weights and a cyclefag. I've cracked one rib and dislocated another from coughing fits lasting 15 minutes or more, which come in waves. I got back from my second trip to the hospital 2 days ago. Besides the Hydro/Zpac plus Zinc I started 2 weeks ago, I'm now on blood thinners and blood pressure medicine because of the clots forming around my lungs. It's one step forward and 4 steps back with this virus. My case is considered mild, and I feel like I'm slowly dying.

_____________

Sounds like those lawsuits a few years ago by some enormously fat people who sued some fast-food chain, claiming that the chain just made it too easy for them to over-indulge. "Wendy's (or McDonald's or whoever) shouldn't have tempted us that way! And they should have warned us that if we ate 87 burger-and-fries combos there everyday, we might get fat!"

That lawsuit met the same fate that the chronic masturbator's will: it was dismissed in favor of the defendant.

Like the story the moron told here about the low-level laundromat worker becoming friends with an old guy he was sitting with at some laundromat convention, and the old guy ended up being the owner of a nationwide chain that he eventually sold to the man.

Or the model being discovered at a restaurant, or a band that plays a bar one night when some recording studio fat cat happens to stop in for a drink.

It's amazing how much that sort of stuff matters for anything beyond comfortable but still middle class living, and it's pretty much completely out of our control.

887 Talking to young people, I often find it useful to point out to them that their teachers have been lying to them their whole lives. Then show them some of the lies; like pointing out that while they were told about slavery, lynching, Jim Crow, the KKK and segregation, that they weren't told it was Democrats doing all of that. If they bring up the absurd progressive talking point about "the parties switching sides in the 1960s", I point out that I was alive then, and that never happened. The only people who changed parties as a group in the 1960s were blacks.
