The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

"Our country and our state have never seen a drug this deadly and addictive, and all are grappling with how to respond," Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek

Oh you know how to respond, but you would have to admit to the world that progressive policies are failures.

Quote II

"It was, honestly, tormenting. Someone in a position of power is saying this about me and I have no way to combat it." Amanda Timpson,former employee in the Fulton County district attorney's office

23 So get on with decriminalizing it.

Oregon voted by a large margin to decriminalize drugs, and it turned out to be such a disaster that there is now overwhelming support for recriminalizing drugs.

So the Democrats in the legislature are furiously trying to make hard drugs "illegal" again, but in such a fashion that it would have almost no practical impact.

sales tax on cars, bicycles, gasoline, cigarettes, hotel rooms, and some municipalities have taxes on "restaurant meals" (and I will never spend another dime in Yachats ever again because of it)

The problem is that the idiocy decided to decriminalize it, and then the DA and city council in Portland decided to only pursue "white people" crime, of which apparently vandalism, public camping, trespassing, shop lifiting and grand theft auto aren't

Posted by: Montec at January 31, 2024 10:15 PM (Vi/VG)

60 The whole decriminalization effort in Oregon was funded by Soros, and one of the main public faces for decriminalization is someone named Morgan Godvin, a passably attractive white female who is incredibly mendacious.

In a recent article on Oregon decriminalization, she explained that:

Jailed, strip searched and branded a felon at the age of 23 for the high crime of having a speck of drugs in my pocket, I viscerally understand the harms of criminalization. Long after my release from prison

She didn't go to prison for "having a speck of drugs in my pocket" - she went to prison for selling heroin to a friend of her, who died from an overdose from the drugs she sold him.

She still thinks that it was incredibly, incredibly unfair that she was held responsible for killing someone.

71 The FBI has always known the identity of the J5/6 Bomber. He is a retired Air Force Master SGT with a security clearance who is a government Contractor. Kyle Seraphim was told not to interview him when he was in the FBI. The license of the car and the Metro ticket (and I'm sure, his phone number) all traced to the above person. No wonder the FBI dropped the investigation. I'll bet he's a BATFE contractor, since explosives were the only way the BATFE could get in on the Jan 6th Reichstag Fire fraud, since Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms were unlikely to do them any good.

84 The Economist magazine, the newsletter of the WEF, explains that the Israelis dressing up as doctors and nurses to assassinate the three terrorists hiding in a hospital, is, of course, a war crime.

Within ten minutes they are gone. Israel says it eliminated three terrorists during the raid on January 30th and staved off a major attack which was imminent. But disguising combatants as medical personnel probably breaks international law, which prohibits “perfidy”.

It's just astonishing - Hamas is allowed to do whatever it wants, including using hospitals as terrorist headquarters and arms depots, but of course it is Israel that must absolutely comply with alleged international law, no matter what Hamas does.

I'm leaning toward elliptical ... kinda a short stride (20"?), but low impact. Any recommendations?

I'm looking at this Sole E95 2020 model. But am still looking around. Cold weather, would be nice to get the steps in indoors.

93 Whatever the reason, women care about abortion bigly and will vote on that issue alone. Pretending this phenomenon doesn’t exist isn’t helpful,

Particularly when Miss Lindsey introduces a bill in the Senate right before the election to ban abortion nationwide, to screw Trump and conservative Republicans, just like he did in 2020.

Those same women also care about immigration, taxes, government spending, etc etc etc bigly.

They are leftists. And they are going to go vote left.

The constructive advice to the GOPe is stop trying to appeal to them and start minimizing vote fraud.

The license fee for neutered dogs is something ridiculously low, like 5 or 10 dollars a year. Also, there are low cost neutering clinics.

Among other grotesqueries. Yet they want the absolutely most defenseless humans to be killed on a whim. Forget the Right - that should go against the moral foundations of Liberalism. This is the right fight to have - even if it spells electoral disaster in the short-term.

That said, the way to fight it, now with Dobbs decided, is not to legislate but to persuade. If it took 30 years for climate change to be something that most of the world takes for granted, we need to put in the door to door work to engender the same paradigm shift in how people look at unborn people.

Got Diet Coke, which looked like it had a half charge of syrup. Went to get some ketchup and they were out of the little cups, but that didn't matter because they were out of ketchup. Got some ketchup packets. Got my burger and fries, unwrapped the burger, and found they had given me the wrong sandwich. Got a

There are many on the Right that believe this. Getting rid of Biden is so important that it's not worth elevating abortion to the point that our side loses. I get it. The Left had no problem with Obama saying that marriage was between a man and a woman when Rick Warren asked him, because the Left knew he was lying, and they were willing to give him a pass to get one over on the Evangelicals in the short-term.

If the Devil came down and made a Faustian bargain with you, that if you shot and killed your neighbor, your "side" would be guaranteed to win the next important election, would you take the deal?

I would not accept that deal.

I strongly oppose abortion as the deliberate taking of a human life. If I have to lose some elections to keep my soul, so be it.

I assume you would NOT murder your neighbor to win an election. Therefore, your position is crystal clear - you do not consider abortion to be taking a human life.

That may be your moral compass, but I think it should be quite easy for you to at least UNDERSTAND the position of the those on the right that do NOT agree with you.

We think it is murder! There is no political expediency argument to be made to justify murder to people who believe it is so.

The left is always convinced they can make a stupid thing work and when the stupid thing doesn't work, it's because everyone is not believing hard enough or something is wrong with the universe.


Much if not most of the left believes reality is malleable and just getting everyone to believe "right thoughts" will make them real.

Remember how the left endlessly claimed the Obama-economy was so bad solely because people thought it was bad? And that had no answer for Trump's magic wand that made it objectively better...

Actually, the economy is one of the few things where lots of people thinking the "right thoughts" DOES have an effect.

If people believe the future looks bright they will invest in their business, their house, etc. That will actually stimulate the economy.

If they believe Obama will deliberately wipe out their business (coal industry) with the wave of his wand, then investment suffers.

I certainly agree with your larger point about Lefties believing reality is malleable.

279 Yamamoto's plane crashed on Bougainville Island within the thick jungle of Papua New Guinea's autonomous Bougainville region. It had been gunned down by a flight of US twin engine'd P-38 Lighting fighters who's mission was a result of breaking the Japanese radio codes and knowing that Yamamoto was flying into the region to inspect island fortifications. The plan was to send multiple fighters to overwhelm his fighter escorts' and shoot his plane down which they did and Yamamoto died as a result. His wrecked plane has now become a tourist attraction on the island.

282 I was watching a video where the youtuber was talking about the rise of NPCism and he trying, and succeeding, at not making it partisan.

He talked about various causes from the rise of information bubbles to how your brain WANTS to consume information that validates your existing views which are both true.

At the end he suggests that one way to avoid becoming an NPC is to truly THINK about "the other side's take on an issue" ESPECIALLY if you feel an emotional response.

Bringing this back to the abortion debate, this is something I've almost never seen someone that supports abortion do. Take the nominal leading pro-abortion argument - an unborn child isn't a human being its just some clump of cells not worthy of human rights. As someone that is more on the pro-life side that has argued this issue for a long time I've considered this view point. The science refutes it and that whole "precautionary principle" the left supposedly believes in does as well...but I'm run through the though process. And I'm in no way unusual in this regard.

Have you ever heard an abortion supporter do the reverse? Ok, let's consider if I'm wrong and we are taking the life of a human being?

Texas has gone from almost 50,000 abortions a year to (I believe I heard) less than 100 "medically necessary" (life of the mother) abortions since the issue of Roe v Wade was returned to the states.

But, hey, obviously all of those women think it's A-OK to murder all of those black and brown babies (who make up 2/3 of the abortions performed every year).....

1. The 2020 (and probably 2022) election was fraudulent
2. Polls are crap and published to shape policy, not reflect it
3. White suburban women who will not give up their abortions are costing Republicans elections

Well, if elections are fraudulent, how the heck are we supposed to know who actually voted? Same goes for polls. Personally, I believe #1 and 2 are true, and that the demographic for #3 is too small (think about how *specific* it is) to lose elections. But that's just me, I'm not voting for the killing of unborn babies.

328 191, they’re probably about 4000 fish and chips places in London. On one trip I made a point to seek out the five best in London, that was back before GPS and Google maps, it was a legit pain in the ass finding these places. Very good fish and chips.

Also, you can get bad Italian food in Italy. Tourist traps are everywhere in every country. You gotta do a bit of research to find the real deal if you’re a tourist.

332 330; I used to say you could never have a really good fish and chippy place in a lot of towns in the US, because there simply is not the demand. I know this one place in London where it’s basically 24 hours nonstop and they wrap the fishing paper and you just keep going after you buy it. The fish has to be fresh. There’s no other option.

You are correct. It has about 2.5 tons of goodies for the ISS, including fresh clothes, food, etc. It will be reloaded with garbage and shit to send back to Earth. We watched it launch just two days ago. Great launch.

Thanks for the update, Ciampino!

For future reference, the correct NASA-speak term for the means of mating Cygnus to the ISS is berthing, not docking. A vehicle or payload is berthed to another vehicle when a robotic arm or other mechanism on one vehicle captures the other and moves it into contact at a mating port for latching together. Docking is when two vehicles in free-flight come into contact at a mating port to latch together.

For laypeople, docking is a good enough description.

337 FJB is not cogent nor sufficiently intelligent to be as evil as his words, "decisions" and actions, would indicate.

To be sure, he's carnal and evil down to his pedo core, but he truly lacks the talent and smarts to do what's being done.

But, with the whole of team Val-Jar behind him, operating his strings, writing his scripts and yanking him off the stage, ever more frequently, they, and he, are getting their desired jobs, done.

I do not condone the murder of infants, especially when still in their mother's womb.

But, as with those in the Nurenberg docks. Fair trials, fast hangings. The present D.C. cabal is sure looking to be fitted for a necktie party. "Just Following Orders", can be on their final, frozen pizza, too.

342 I've been doing sidewalk advocacy in front of the local Planned Parenthood for the past year and a half.

Last October, I met a young woman about 20 years of age, who was heading into PP to get information about aborting her child. She came into our mobile clinic for an ultrasound, where she saw her baby and heard his/her heartbeat for the first time.

During our conversation, this young woman was timid, anxious, afraid, unsure of herself. She was worried about how her family would react to the news, whether the (married) father would be involved with her child, how she would cover expenses.

But hearing her child's heartbeat gave her pause. With a tear in her eye, she said, "I came here to set up an abortion, but now I don't know what I'm going to do. We talked with her about her options, as well as the services, friendship, and support that we offer, and we scheduled a lunch the next day to continue the discussion.

(continued)

Posted by: Half Dozen at February 01, 2024 12:31 AM (eHovo)

343 ...When we met with her the very next day, this young woman was transformed: confident, excited, hopeful, and already knew how she was going to make this work. She had decided to keep her baby. She had told her brother about her pregnancy, and they worked out a plan for telling her parents, for confronting the child's father, and what living arrangements would look like when the baby arrives. She is doing great now; we'll be finding out the sex of her baby next week.

On my way home from that meeting it hit me that PP has to get these ladies while they are still in that state of being timid, afraid, and confused. This is why I hate PP: They are evil predators whose primary goal is to get these women and destroy their lives before they have time to figure things out.

And that's why they hate us and the work that we are doing. We truly empower these women -- and empowered women don't have any reason to kill their children.

This is why conservatism is dead. It has no memory.

How long has no-fault divorce been a thing?

There was a time within living memory when Republicans agitated for putting limits on no-fault divorce. But no more. We need to focus on capital gains tax cuts!

This is why some of us stopped caring overmuch who gets elected. We caught on that the choices were (a) a lot of liberalism right away; and (b) the same amount of liberalism but spread out over a longer period of time.

"Vote Republican. We won't trans your kiddos until 2045!"

But stop and consider that we've lost every major cultural argument for at least 30 years now. Modern conservatism is flatfooted because it has no discernable principles anymore and hasn't for some time. It's been reduced to a Buckleyite bumper-sticker cliche: Standing Athwart History Yelling "Stop!" But there's no how or why other than "This far and no further." Is it really surprising that we can convince no one of anything?

Yachats needed a public restroom but the local businesses instead spent money on "art" ...The Whale in the Park.
I lived downtown and was frequently treated to the vision of tourists fertilizing the dumpster area because the shopkeepers had a " No Public Restroom" policy.

My parents were together 60 years. I was one of four kids. My late sister was divorced and then married a good man. Older brother will mark over forty years with his wife, a woman six years his senior. Younger sister married a guy in prison, so that divorce surprised no one and therefore doesn't count.

sickness/health
And of course, the last part, which was last week: death do us part.

Still have my moments, things are just too fresh, and the loss too significant.
Kids are mixed; younger one is not okay, but wasn't even before she was dying. He's a long term project, but very close to adulthood, so I don't know what to do with him, and wife isn't around to help.
Older kid is taking it well, it seems.

409 Sadly, marriage really is a crap shoot.

That's part of why I'm in favor of the old ways.

It's not a moralistic pose. I've been married 20 years, and virtually none of that longevity is attributable to me. I'm a difficult person at best. As near as I can tell, my marriage has lasted as long as it has mostly because my wife is tenacious. Unreasonably so, thankfully for me. Doesn't mean there isn't any love or happiness. But I suspect a lot more of marriage involves struggle and hardship than most care to admit. Humans can be pretty hard to take this close up at times. Maybe it was less difficult when we died younger.
