Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (11/09/22)Quote I I’m not out here with this dumb alarm asking you guys to love abortion. I am asking you to love women, enough, to trust women enough to make their own difficult decisions and to vote for the people who will make that happen tomorrow. Our daughters should not have to fight the battles our grandmothers won.” Molly McNearney (Mrs. Jimmy Kimmel) Quote II ‘When you win, bring it back to Malibu, because I’ll feel much better knowing there’s a piece of me here.” Actor Sean Penn Quote III In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards. Mark Twain Quote IV “Given the fluid nature of the situation we have no comment right now.”Dan Madge, a spokesperson for the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Quote V “In the same way that I experience being a woman in a man’s body, I experience that I should have been paralysed from the waist down. This is not a desire to be a burden on society. It is about the wheelchair being an aid for me to function in everyday life, both privately and at work,” Jørund Viktoria Alme Pennsylvania proves that voters vote for the party rather than the candidate. We know they elected a mentally challenged senator. They also re-elected a dead man. Wisconsin is very fortunate that the Democrats put up an all-American Hating communist by the name of Mandela Barnes. Ron Johnson is the first 3 terms Republican senator that I recall in my life time. The Republican party has to adopt the tactics of the Democrats when it comes to Get Out The Vote and other ground game efforts. Contrary to what Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks, I believe that Donald Trump did cost some Republican pick ups. I'm looking at Wisconsin and GOP Gov. candidate Tim Michels, Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker and Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Dr. Oz. Oz and Michels both carpet baggers and Trump endorsed. Both lost and I can't speak for Oz's ground game, Michels really didn't have one. You can buy all the advertising in the world but you have to connect with the voters and a ground game helps with that. The national GOP has to spend money and assist in the ground game of candidates which have a chance of beating weak incumbent Dems. I'm looking at you Mitch McConnell. I didn't look up the numbers for Oz. But Michels under performed Sen. Ron Johnson who eked out a win. Arizona is no longer a solid Red State. Or am I wrong and have read to much into the governor's and senate race? I know one thing. Arizona is no longer the conservative bastion that gave us Barry Goldwater. Just my observations. There is no one single factor that caused the Red Dribble as ace so eloquently named it. "But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general?" Cornell University has suspended all parties and social events hosted by fraternities after campus police said one student reported a sexual assault and another four reported their drinks being drugged. The events all allegedly occurred at off-campus houses affiliated with the school's fraternities, according to university officials in a letter to the community on Monday. The student-led Interfraternity Council, which governs all council-recognized fraternities at Cornell, made the decision to temporarily suspend social events on Sunday following an emergency meeting. "Fraternity leaders will take this time to implement stronger health and safety plans. No IFC-affiliated social events will resume until student leaders and Cornell staff are confident activities can take place responsibly and safely," wrote Cornell President Martha E. Pollack and Ryan Lombardi, vice president of student and campus life. Learn to ask, #DoYouWantFriesWithThat. Meta is laying off 11,000 employees, about 13 percent of its workforce, CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a message to staff today. Zuckerberg said his previous decision to increase spending didn't pay off as he thought it would and that Meta's "revenue outlook is lower than we expected at the beginning of this year." Meta had 87,314 employees as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 28 percent over the previous 12 months. "At the start of Covid, the world rapidly moved online and the surge of e-commerce led to outsized revenue growth. Many people predicted this would be a permanent acceleration that would continue even after the pandemic ended," Zuckerberg wrote. "I did too, so I made the decision to significantly increase our investments. Unfortunately, this did not play out the way I expected. Not only has online commerce returned to prior trends, but the macroeconomic downturn, increased competition, and ads signal loss have caused our revenue to be much lower than I'd expected. I got this wrong, and I take responsibility for that." Arizona population: 7.276 million (2021).

It was the latest in a series of protests targeting famous pieces of art around the world. So the thin skinned Wokesters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza have the hurtsies. Comedian Dave Chappelle is to host SNL this upcoming Saturday, November 12th. There’s unrest at 30 Rock, Page Six hears, over the decision to sign up Dave Chappelle to host “Saturday Night Live” this weekend. We’re told that some staff writers are so furious that the comedy superstar — who has made transphobic and homophobic jokes — has been chosen to helm the iconic show that they’re sitting out the episode. “They’re not going to do the show,” an insider told Page Six. “But none of the actors are boycotting.” But Chappelle’s rep told us that there was nothing to suggest that there was a boycott when they attended writers’ meetings this week. In France, solar just got a huge boost from new legislation approved through the Senate this week that requires all parking lots with spaces for at least 80 vehicles – both existing and new – be covered by solar panels. The new provisions are part of French president Emmanuel Macron’s large-scale plan to heavily invest in renewables, which aims to multiply by 10 the amount of solar energy produced in the country, and to double the power from land-based wind farms. Starting July 1, 2023, smaller carparks that have between 80 and 400 spaces will have five years to be in compliance with the new measures. Carparks with more than 400 spaces have a shorter timeline: They will need to comply with the new measures within three years of this date, and at least half of the surface area of the parking lot will need to be covered in solar panels. My favorite part of the story? According to the government, this plan, which particularly targets large parking areas around commercial centers and train stations, could generate up to 11 gigawatts, which is the equivalent of 10 nuclear reactors MARIJUANA On this day:9 Nov 1967 Born on this day: 9 Nov 1944 Sage, cornbread or firearm stuffing?

A murder suspect was caught after allegedly stealing a shopping cart jam-packed with laundry detergent in La Verne on Tuesday. The man was seen bolting out of a Vons supermarket on Foothill Blvd. while pushing a shopping cart filled with over 20 large bottles of Tide laundry detergent, said La Verne Police. The store’s manager was seen chasing after the man in the parking lot. My wife worries a lot about someone grabbing one of our twin boys while she’s strapping the other one into his car seat. A similar scenario just happened in a Walmart parking lot in Warner Robins, Georgia where a 67-year-old man forcefully took a child out of a car and whisked the child into the woods behind the store. Thankfully, a good guy with a gun saw the horrific crime in progress and interrupted the bad guy as police say he tried to strangle the child.

Missouri's "legislation" was a 38 page constitutional amendment. It's terrible.
By the same toke-n, we've been voting on this for several years and the legislature could have handled it the right way a long time ago. When I drive to IL to buy from a legal shop, I'm always in line with people from all over Missouri. The last time, the couple in front and the three buddies behind me were all conservatives. I traded AR pics with one of the guys behind me. Very patriotic guys. Alcohol prohibition was a disaster, and so is the "War on Drugs". People really need to learn to mind their owned beeswax again.

The abortion loving white women want unfettered abortion on demand for one reason and one reason only. They believe it keeps the black population in check. It is why Margaret Sanger started Planned Parenthood and it continues today for the very same reason. Liberal and moderate white women are racist to the core and anything that keeps black kids and families away from their neighborhood they are on board with. It is not because they want abortion available for their daughters , hell, their daughters have had a Norplant in their arm since age 15 . The trope about losing reproductive freedom has nothing to do with them.

Contrary to what Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks, I believe that Donald Trump did cost some Republican pick ups.
I'm not so offended by what Trump did during the campaign - there's a lot of blame to go around. However, since the polls closed, Trump has: Explained that this was a great Republican victory. Explained that almost everyone he endorsed won (lots of endorsements of people in safe seats). Rejoiced that a Republican who chose to criticize him lost his election. Explained that he got more votes in Florida in 2020 than DeSantis did in 2022. Enough. DeSantis 2024. Posted by: The ARC of History! at November 09, 2022 10:23 PM (KCOCK) 99

I've told this story before, so skip on by if it's repetitive. Our neighbors are a nice Christian couple in their 70s. He grows marijuana for personal use (extracts the oil to counteract peripheral neuropathy). Last year they had a bout of COVID and both lost much of their sense of smell for a few months.
I dropped in at their house one day while he was extracting the oil and the whole house reeked of 'skunk'. They had no awareness of how much it had permeated their clothing until they went to church the next day and caught a number of disapproving glances from the others in the congregation.

Marijuana legalization was sold on several things that we now specifically know are untrue.
One, it will raise gobs of money for the state. False. California actually is causing legal growers to lose money because of regulations while many people gleefully buy the cheaper illegal stuff sold by cartels and drug dealers. Other states that try to profit via taxes find the same thing. Two, it will reduce crime. False, there is no indication that a lot of pot users were locked up --most of the ones cited actually involved criminals with lengthy records where the cops were desperate to hold them on some charge for public safety. Also see plea bargains where serious dealers got knocked down to possession. In states with legalization, there is no indication whatsoever that it reduced crime or even other drug use. Three, people will not drive on it or allow animals or children to get ahold of it. False on all counts. It is actually more difficult to detect a legally stoned driver but they can be just as deadly. A certain demographic enjoys riding around being stoned. And no, people do not drive better when stoned--no evidence for that whatsoever. Posted by: whig at November 09, 2022 10:37 PM (CXr4y) 182

I liked Oregon's old system - being caught smoking dope in public got you a $100 citation, large dealers were occasionally arrested, but it wasn't a big priority, and people who absolutely had to get high every day could go to one of the half-dozen docs in the state who wrote medical marijuana prescriptions for "anxiety".

I will say this: I have been dead set against pot legalization and medical weed all my life. I always figured the potheads just want to get high.
I had a new hip put in a few years ago, and the pain while waiting for the operation was more than I've had before. I've had many surgeries, so i) I know pain and ii) I also had some good painkillers left over. Doubling up on my painkillers did not touch it. My doc prescribed medical weed, I tried it, and I am now a believer in its medical application. It allowed me to sleep when before I'd roll around for hours trying to find a position that didn't cause agony. I will also say this: I do not know how anyone can do it recreationally. I'd do one or two puffs on a vape and I needed to lie down right away. It did not make me feel good or euphoric in any way. I felt nauseated, to be honest. Why the hell anyone would do that by choice is beyond me. I haven't used it in a long time, and now live where it's illegal (no medical use is allowed either) so I won't do it again, but it really was a God-send.

It wasn't just Miss Lindsey. I personally thing there was a coordinated effort by the GOP to tank Trump's endorsed picks from winning. This is how entrenched the Republicans are in the capitol city. It's also how utterly useless they are as a party.

Re: service animals
I had a passing acquaintance with a family whose autistic son had a service dog. The dog helped to (re)direct him, act as a friend / hug getter (for pressure), and probably some other stuff that I didn't see (guard dog maybe). The dog was also incredibly friendly. It seemed to do wonders for the boy. A lot of people, some that I know personally, get their dogs certified as "service" just so that they can bring them in stores or places they'd otherwise be restricted from. It's a pet peeve of mine (pun intended I guess), really pisses me off because these wonderful animals are so helpful to those who need them.

219 Gentlemen. I agree.
In practical terms though, the laws have been unenforceable for some time. On drugs, you pretty much have to do what the Chinese Communist did or eventually, everything will become legalized and a certain percentage will commit crimes, will do awful acts towards others, will destroy their health, and kill themselves with it. Total legalization of all drugs will result in a massive hit on the most vulnerable of people in health, in family abuse, in death, and to the public. Total enforcement means an overbearing state and harsh punishments even death for both users and dealers. So there will be a societal cost to that as well. While the "war on drugs" is unwinnable like Vietnam, legalizing them will simply introduce a war on society and vulnerable individuals. Not sure what the answer is.

There are legitimate service dogs that, for example, guide the blind or warns their owner that an epileptic seizure is coming on. That's about 0.1% of the ones you see.
Hope that answers your question. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at November 09, 2022 10:41 PM (MoZTd) Pooky's training has been on what to do if establishments try to reject the service animal, but they were strongly encouraged (since the class was all mentally unstable vets) not to confront the fakers. What we've found works best is to flaunt JT's training-he sits on command, doesn't bark, and pays attention to his handler. It's great way of distinguishing JT from the fakers and the look on JT's face is priceless. "Look at meeeee! I'm the bestest boy!"

McConnell spent $57 million supporting Oz; Trump spent $3.4. That pattern repeats across all of the races. The only questionable spend decision was pulling funding from Masters in AZ. McConnell has many, many flaws, but he is a died-in-the-wool Republican Party team player. That doesn't necessarily mean that he supports the same things the base does, but he didn't skimp on supporting Senate candidates.

Even during a certain under-age. After which the 13-year-old boy is on the hook for child support.
That happened to a teenager I was working with at a fast food restaurant years ago. One evening we were all shooting the shit. Someone asked him why he was always working so hard and was so focused. He said he'd had troubles like they wouldn't realize. Being a bit older then him and being already cynical I asked him how so....expecting something stupid...and he volunteered an adult woman had convinced him to have sex with her when he was 14 and he knocked her up and was on the hook for child support.

Women have been sold a bullshit line that they can give it away at no cost - look around and the country is filled with women in their 30s desperate for "Mr. Right" because they spent the last 20 years giving it away. The cost goes both ways. I know it is unfair, and I know that it is probably too late to fix society. Yet I will not concede. Abortion is murder.

I'm going to be deliberately vague, but a member of my extended family owns and operates a medical marijuana in a locale that I won't specify. When I retired from medical practice they broached the possibility of me becoming their "prescribing doctor" for their regular clientele. They were at the time using a traveling doc who would come to town maybe quarterly, set up shop in a local hotel conference room, see patients for maybe five minutes each, review their medical history and renew their marijuana card for something like $100 a pop (good for one year). I probably could have made a pretty good supplementary income doing that, but with all due respect did not think that was a valid use of my medical license., and I deferred. That sort of scruple does not dissuade a lot of docs, just like the on-line boner pill docs. Sad state of affairs if you ask me.

That Trump handpicked. And supported. As was that nutcase Mastriano that he handpicked and who, undoubtedly, dragged Oz a bit more. *sigh
Posted by: runner Both of them won primaries fair and square. That you would have preferred McCormick or Bill McSwain does mean that the primary voters agreed with you. So, it is more or less that the Trumpist voters were hoodwinked into supporting losers. That was the same tripe as the Trumpless Tea Party argument. Basically, you let the people select who they want to run in a state then you butt out of second cases, caviling, whining, etc. If Trump endorsed Oz, then McConnell endorsed McCormick (a stiff who was also a carpetbagger hedge fund guy--Mitt Romney II). If you are going to go after Trump, you best be going after McConnell and even DeSantis's lame endorsement of O'Dea who was not a Trump candidate. I personally do not care who wins the 2024 nomination but this emo bullshit that on various topics like Mother Russia uber alles or now Trump is simply obnoxious and repetitive. We hear you but screaming is not persuasion. Both DeSantis and Trump have strengths and weaknesses and we have until Dec. 2023 to sort it out.

Iirc Chappelle, in one of his Netflix specials ("Sticks and Stones?"

The women in the audience were a bit quieter at that point.

I agree. I am OK with legal pot consumption and possession. Not stronger drugs.
My main problem is how our culture seems to glorify it. As if being stoned, or doing shrooms, (or even prescription drugs) is a good and normal thing. It is a vice. It should be looked down upon. Instead I go to reddit and every week there are new "studies" about how all this crap is really good for you. And on TV all the stars brag about being stoned. We need enough laws to make it discouraged not glorified. Posted by: Gentlemen --------------------- Societal shunning of drug users is how it was done. Few wrote articles about the wonders of opium or cocaine, etc, in the 1800's and they looked down on those that were addicts while keeping them legal at the pharmacy. Cars and modernity changed that because a stoner behind the wheel or using heavy equipment is no better than an alkie. Ditto for now recognizing that substance abuse leads to family violence by some, addiction, and crime. You short circuit your brain, you change your feedback from reality.

How many people enjoy those vices and that glorification regularly? I'm serious, because it disgusts me that Jennifer Aniston taught a decade of young girls that you can be a rich-brat who's incompetent at basic waitressing, but fall into a job in fashion design, have a baby without getting married, and pretty much have it all with no serious consequences except maybe the dbag baby-daddy who's really just a man-baby, himself.

The kicker... the rest of the story... was that he was describing opium dens in China from about a hundred years ago. IIRC he said the Chinese cleaned that mess up and we can too. Posted by: 496 at November 09, 2022 11:16 PM (dz6/I) 400

And when is the male ever responsible for his actions? Posted by: nurse ratched at November 09, 2022 11:21 PM (U2p+3) You are obsessed by the fallacy that men and women are the same. They aren't. Women have absolute control over pregnancy. Use that control, and most of the issues that have inflamed your sensibilities will go away.

433 My memory is the Chinese government was basically ineffectual in stopping Opium use until Mao came in and executed everyone involved in the trade with forced rehabilitation for users.
Posted by: 18-1 ------------------------------- They did it in stadiums before huge crowds and executed the dealers on the spot. The forced rehab was basically being a slave for the state until they relented from your mea culpas and pleas that you were wrong but now you saw the light, or you died. Either way, it was not for a fixed time. Posted by: whig at November 09, 2022 11:26 PM (CXr4y) 448

I'm extremely pro-freedom and have no problem with adults doing whatever and the 10th Amendment etc. If we'd stayed close to the instruction manual we wouldn't be in this mess today.
That said, I don't like pot because two of the smartest people I knew back in my early 20s are burned out losers from it now. It might not not be technically addictive or damaging or whatever other silliness they try to claim, but it absolutely hurts some people badly. It's heartbreaking to see it hollow out intelligent people's skulls.

423 Criticizing Trump for losing elections because he held rallies is dishonest. He didn't cost any votes and helped many.
But what he should be critisized for is sucking up all the campaign cash into his PAC, then being very stingy in spending it. A lot of candidates needed help and he didn't give it. Posted by: Dave in Fla ------------------------- Dunno about his expenditures. All big political players treat their campaign stashes like Smaug the dragon by sitting on it. McConnell sat on his ass, the RNC didn't spend its money on fraud, DeSantis raised more (something like $200 million or so) than Trump (170 mill or so) and did not spend other than his own campaign by last account. Almost all of the GOP petulantly refuses to spend money on GOTV and volunteer operations. They are addicted to TV, radio, and those awful campaign flyers. I could write a book but RAH beat me to it.

Third generation Arizonan here.
This state was never solid red nor blue. Back in the days of Goldwater and Hayden, both were different parties, yet both were Arizonans, had principles and cared for Arizona first. I have known both families growing up here. We have had conservative Dems like Babbit and DeConcinni, and some worthless Reps like Mecham. A look at our history, you will see that we have had both party's leadership since statehood. And many governors were replaced by the SOS throughout this time. Nothing new here. To be an Arizonan has some conservative values and true Madisonian Liberal values. Mannit Napolitano ended that. True story: Goldwater (R) was approached by Hayden (D) that his campaign was low on funds. Goldwater gave Hayden $70K to help. Hayden won. That is Arizona. Those days, my friends, are over as the D party is insane and the R party has been self-castrated. Posted by: jdubya_mesaz at November 09, 2022 11:46 PM (T3ih3) 545

If you aren't responsible enough to use birth control to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, then you shouldn't be having sex. That goes for women and men alike.
I went to Planned Parenthood in college after I met this really nice guy, because I didn't want to get pregnant while we were still in school. I got on the pill and took it religiously, for the same reason. A few years later, I went off of the pill because that nice guy and I were ready to start a family. And in between kids, I made sure to always use some sort of protection. And the one time that we didn't, we both accepted responsibility for our slip-up. Any of you who have been to a Texas MoMe have had the pleasure of meeting our "One Hit Wonder", and we can't imagine life without her.

The dog was very familiar with him had played before with his great danes no problems with dogs or people. One day he got seriously bit letting them into his yard to play.

Posted by: Misanthropic Humanitarian at November 09, 2022 11:22 PM (aA3+G) I didn't say otherwise. But I think you're an outlier in that case. I asked about a _state_. Because I think states that legalize marijuana are playing to progressive hedonism - which is a play for the broken sinful human nature vote. You won't get a more conservative polity by legalizing marijuana. If you managed to turn the polity truly conservative - IOW they governed themselves well, thereby not requiring governing by the state - then you could legalize marijuana and not have a big problem.

Pit bulls are great gentle dogs until they aren't. The flip of the switch is random. If they are raised wrong no switch needed. My brother was seriously bit by a dog he knew and liked. The dog was very familiar with him had played before with his great danes no problems with dogs or people. One day he got seriously bit letting them into his yard to play. Dogs in general can be unpredictable but pit bulls are on another level.
Posted by: deplorable me. Usntakim. at November 10, 2022 12:18 AM (ZMPCu) Absolutely. I knew a few people who had them and they blow a frigging gasket one day. One friend of mine had his arm torn up real good one day by his own dog. Many stitches. He had it since it was a pup. His other dog must have pissed it off and out of nowhere the pit went after my friend. Fuck them dogs. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at November 10, 2022 12:26 AM (VwHCD) 635

From my experiences and observations as an alcoholic, alcohol is a worse drug and more damaging to society then cannabis. If you do cannabis smart it can be a positive thing in your life. I'm talking eat it, or vape to avoid smoking. Trade your 3 or 4 beers or drinks for a few puffs to relax at night and you will be much better off.

The 'joke' used to be having to overcome the Dem margin of fraud, around 5%.

Should be treated for behavior same as MEN? But..BUT...they of the weaker sex? Surely you do not mean...for they are in need of PROTECTING by the stronger MALE presence.

It might be the fourth. Remember the green party candidate who had to call off her MI recount in 2016 because she was finding precincts with more ballots than voters, some by multiples. So there was a steal there that just didn't work. And given how well the economy was going in 2018, color me suspicious about the D takeover of the House. So it's at least three of the last four.

in fairness the recycled girl I used to mess around with and am in the process of rekindling, I did not know her dildo was named after a frosting-Funfetti. I thought it was a pet name, not named after pre made Pillsbury frosting.. it’s one of those that has the suction cup for the shower wall. It’s the same color as Funfetti frosting hence the name “Mr Funfetti “.
She lol’d pretty hard when she realized I didn’t know about the aforementioned frosting. I thought it was the brand/model name of the dildo. Silly me. Posted by: JROD at November 10, 2022 01:27 AM (AtoNk) Posted by: SMH at what's coming at November 10, 2022 01:28 AM (/P0vp) 724

Just a general observation: History is obsessed with a small subset of people. They float down the river of time, doing mostly bad things to others.
However, watching from high embankments is an entire population that does not goes washed into the sea. Let us wave to those in the river, tend our gardens, and thrive out of the spotlight. And every once in a while, push a bad person into the river. Like Festerman. He is doomed. May he light a light bulb in his mouth as he flames out.

You'll just have dress up as handmaids and throw piss at me and try to get me fired or even fire bombed as clearly you are the good guys and I am Voldemort. Some of our great great grandmothers could buy cocaine by the pound in a drug store with no regulation or own slaves. Clearly winning something in the past doesn't make it right forever and besides that I am assured that the mid 70s were a time of sexist oppression, patriarcy, and rape culture with key parties, sex discrimination, racism and harassment. The people who won these rights were clearly backwards and dangerous degenerates who should have their statues torn down as we pure heartedly barrel on towards a year zero where no one is burdened by the past or even consistently defined language so reality is an artifact of solidarity and manufactured consensus.
