SNAPE KILLS NED STARK

[The Last American Hero]

But only because Ned told him he had to do it.

SQUIRRELS KILL JUVENILE BLUSTER

[Fist of Etiquette]

Early all-caps commenting is not for the amateur.

[Anomalous]

Shame! Shame! Shame!

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

Hello.

[Juvenile Bluster]

Good afternoon, Rufus. It's the best time of the year here in South Florida. Not too hot yet, and the traffic from the entire population of Quebec spending the winter here starts to thin out as they head back to Canada.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how annoying are they?

[expat]

That scale goes to 11

[Juvenile Bluster]

14.

[jesse.in.mb]

THIS IS WHY NOBODY RESPECTS THE MANKOSKI PAIN SCALE

Your Canadian problem is probably no more than an 8:

"Physical activity severely limited. You can read and converse with effort. Nausea and dizziness set in as factors of pain."

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

Have you encountered the species known as the Quebecois nationalist who wonders why no one speaks French to them?

[DEG]

More importantly, how good looking are the women?

[Libertarian]

Ha! The only Canadian women snowbirds are over 60. NTTAWWT.

[DEG]

Oh.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Skwisgaar approves!

[Millennial Hipster Vanguard]

I spent Sunday at the flower and garden festival at EPCOT. The weather was perfect. Also my wife got to see ELO. I got to see my wife, see ELO.

[TheZeitgeist]

ELO is still around/alive? Wow.

[Ted S.]

What do you have against ELO?

[Millennial Hipster Vanguard]

They're "the orchestra" now, so technically no.

[Shpip]

Cheap Trick at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City on Saturday, Huey Lewis & The News at Busch Gardens, and ELO at EPCOT. It was a pretty good weekend for Old Guy music in central Florida.

Saw ELO Sunday, too, then off to Bluezoo for birthday supper.

[C. Anacreon]

Jeff Lynne played too? Or is he holding out for a Traveling Wilburys reunion? Not many left of that brotherhood.

[Doctor Whom]

It was his sled.

[BiMonSciFiCon]

I thought it was his teddy bear.

[DEATFBIRSECIA]

He was a ghost the whole time!

[Curt]

The kid has to shoot his dog. Very sad.

[gaoxiaen]

Then he became a cop.

[Pan Zagloba]

I wonder if GRRM is boycotting the show, or is gonna be watching every night, scribbling the notes frantically

"He got stabbed WHERE? I'm a fucking genius, me!"

[Bird Person]

The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed. The End.

Its all spoilers, actually.

[Fist of Etiquette]

So-called feminists now openly slut-shaming Kim Kardashian for nude selfie.

Feminism kind of lost its credibility during the Clinton years.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Up until then, it was all downhill.

[A Cynic's Guide to Zen]

Are women oppressed in the Free World?

More on that later, for now, better just listen and believe.

Fraud? Where? Not here. Not now.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Hulk Hogan's sex life.

I hope that link leads to a clever 404 Not Found page.

[AlmightyJB]

Or a rickroll

[Crusty Juggler]

The links lacks the details I wish I was going to receive. However, it does involve some really impressive legal maneuvering:

Hogan took the stand for the second day in a row and the initial questioning by Gawker's legal team spent several hours focused on the celebrity's response in the media when reports of the sex tape first surfaced, particularly when he called into TMZ Live and discussed the tape with TMZ hosts.

He admitted that when told TMZ he didn't know who the brown-haired woman in his sex tape was he "embellished a little bit about the number of women" he had slept with.

[Ted S.]

If you haven't seen it, The Ritz is on tonight at 1:30am ET/10:30pm PT.

[jesse.in.mb]

On his deathbed Carmine Vespucci's father tells him to "get Proclo". With "the hit" on, Gaetano tells a cab driver to take him where Carmine can't find him. He arrives at the Ritz, a gay bathhouse where he is pursued amorously by "chubby chaser" Paul B. Price and by entertainer Googie Gomez who believes him to be a broadway producer. His guides through the Ritz are gatekeeper Abe, habitue Chris, and bellhop/go-go-boys Tiger and Duff. Squeaky-voiced detective Michael Brick and his employer Carmine do locate Gateano at the Ritz, as does his wife Vivian.

I have not. What network?

[Ted S.]

Oh, I didn't mention that. TCM. It's followed by the French version of "La Cage Aux Folles", if you don't mind reading subtitles.

[jesse.in.mb]

Oh, I've seen the French version (and of course the American one). I actually saw La Cage aux Folles on stage when it was in NY with Kelsey Grammer. It was an excellent production.

[Sevo]

It is my understanding that the estimable Mr. Jagger is no stranger to the dollar and, in fact, desires to maintain very good relations with it, the Pound, the Euro and so forth.
So now we have a bit of a conundrum:

"Rolling Stones announce historic free concert in Havana"
http://www.reuters.com/article.....nnel=11563

I'm betting that Mick figures the free attendance is worth more in marketing value than he could possibly wring out of the impoverished population.
But wait, there's more!
I've flown charter in the past and once you do that, well, you're "on the list". So now I get an offer of a Learjet charter, JFK/MUHA round trip, only $7K per person!
Rich yanquis crashing Mick's free concert! There's jokes in there aplenty!

[Libertarian]

Why did a British band have to wait for the U.S. to normalize relations before giving a free concert in Cuba?

[Hyperbolical]

They were waiting on the social statement opportunity?

[JaimeRoberto]

I'm guessing there is some obscure U.S. law that would cause problems for performers who have worked in Cuba.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Bella Thorne Slams Chloe Grace Moretz in Support of Kim Kardashian's Nude Selfie

*lights the sarcasmic beacon*

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

"Bella Thorne Slams Chloe Grace Moretz"

Literally or figuratively?

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Scissor me Xerxes?

[The War on Freedom]

The latter is rather fetching.

[A Cynic's Guide to Zen]

I read that as felching, a favored pasttime of the bourgeoisie bohemians with New York Values.

[Bubba Jones]

I have no idea who these people are? Are they hot and naked?

[This Machine]

Well, the one that isn't hot is naked, the ones that aren't naked are hot. So, half-right. Really, I don't know who they are, either, but they show up a lot in sarc's Daily Mail links.

[Juice]

None of them are hot. One of them is naked.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Chloe Grace Moretz is Hit-Girl from Kickass.

[TheZeitgeist]

Notice how Kim Kardashian herself mocked Bette Midler to post her own nude selfies on Twitter over this, but kept her big mouth shut about that smoking little beastie Chloe Moretz doing the same.

[Just say Nikki]

Um, no she didn't.

"let's all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is. your nylon cover is cute boo," the mom of two sniped.

[Heroic Mulatto]

You could have spared me the labor and embedded the link in your OP, nicole.

[lap83]

Can we make Twitter outrage shaming a thing? Everything about that sentence annoys me.

[Crusty Juggler]

Twitter is bae.

[HeteroPatriarch]

I still have no idea what this word means.

[Heroic Mulatto]

It means "British Aerospace".

"Legal marijuana causes Mexican drug cartel revenues to plummet"
[?]
Marijuana legalization may have accomplished what the War on Drugs has failed to do ? put the squeeze on Mexican drug cartel activity.
The U.S. Border Patrol has released 2015 data showing that the number of marijuana seizures throughout the southwest U.S./Mexico border has fallen to the lowest level in a decade, the Washington Post reports."
http://blog.sfgate.com/smellth.....ntent=link

Naah, who could have ever guessed? And then:
"Despite the good news, however, Mexican cartels are slowly beginning to offset the revenue lost to cannabis law reform by producing more heroin and methamphetamines."
Gee, how could we ever change that? What a mystery!

NOAA Radiosonde Data Shows No Warming For 58 Years
In their "hottest year ever" press briefing, NOAA included this graph, which stated that they have a 58 year long radiosonde temperature record. But they only showed the last 37 years in the graph.

Here is why they are hiding the rest of the data. The earlier data showed as much pre-1979 cooling as the post-1979 warming....

...The omission of this data from the NOAA report, is just their latest attempt to defraud the public. NOAA's best data shows no warming for 60 years....

[Suthenboy]

I think there is some chance that the whole global warming thing is a scam. Shocking, I know.

[Zeb]

Whether or not there is a real warming trend that will continue, the attendant politics is definitely a scam.

[DenverJ]

What? Global warming a scam? But I thought the debate was over?

[Irish Breaks Up W/ ESB]

Someone call the Bern ward!

"Bernie Sanders ?@BernieSanders Mar 2
Today, people living in Bucharest, Romania have access to much faster Internet than most of the US. That's unacceptable and must change."

"PauL Marco
?@djPaulMarco
@BernieSanders In Romania we have faster internet b/c we killed our commie dictator on Christmas morning in 1989Then we open up the markets"

[DEG]

In Romania we have faster internet b/c we killed our commie dictator on Christmas morning in 1989Then we open up the markets

Awesome.

The video of Ceausescu's trial and execution is on the Intertubes. It is a good watch.

[Irish Breaks Up W/ ESB]

Incidentally, Sanders is an incredible moron. Bucharest has the 19th fastest internet of any city on Earth.

Sanders was obviously trying to be like "EVEN ROMANIA HAS FASTER INTERNET THAN WE DO! WE'RE FALLING BEHIND!" What he actually proved is that many parts of America have slower internet than one of the places with the absolute fastest internet, which doesn't exactly make me worry about our slow internet connections...

[BiMonSciFiCon]

Dude, sorry to hear about you and ESB.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Net Neutrality means everyone being the same.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

And no one having internet to worry about.

But I don't think BERN got it.

[Ted S.]

Did Z?RICH get it?

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

No, but I think GENEVA and LUGANO did!

[Ted S.]

You mean GENF, of course. 😉

[grrizzly]

Yes, but what about MAILAND?

[mad.casual]

"PauL Marco

And it's Paul Marco! From the top ropes! With a folding chair!

Complete savagery.

[kbolino]

In other news, urban areas have high population densities.

Also, apparently, the casual racism/provincialism of lefties is still a-okay.

[MetalBard]

Well they are white in Romania, so yeah that is perfectly ok with leftists.

[Irish Breaks Up W/ ESB]

This actually does seem like casual ethnic stereotyping on Sanders' part. Romania has some of the fastest internet speeds on the planet, but Sanders is acting like it's some sort of travesty that those Eastern European peasants have better internet speeds than some parts of America.

[MetalBard]

Sanders is just old, and living in a time before the Soviet Union fell, and communism was completely discredited.

These old leftists are like the Japanese soldier they found on the island who thought the war was still going on.

[Zeb]

That's a nice analogy.

[Certified Public Asshat]

Romania also has a flat tax. Does Bernie like flat taxes now?

[Tornado16nb]

I wish people would ask him questions like this

[0x90]

Maybe Bernie would also be for state funding of the church...

Rational Male: Ghosting
...For that reasons I ghosted a number of friendly acquaintances I considered friends, once I understood where I was in their hierarchy. Some I'd known for 10 years and had shared some good and bad memories with.

I do not regret it one bit.

People who don't respect you won't change how they perceive you once you better yourself, they'll see the old you and a new imposter.

I am a strong believer that first impressions last, forever, and that if you have made an impression on some people that you are a beta, they will never forget where they've pigeon holed you. They will never treat you like an alpha and defer to you, how could they? They don't respect you, they 'know' that you're just 'acting different'....

[This Machine]

Can't open link; at work. What the hell is ghosting and why is this guy whining about it?

[Longtorso, Johnny]

Ghosting is cutting people off who knew you as a mewling beta after you've alpha'ed up. He is advocating it.

[Mad Scientist]

I didn't think I could care any less, but you have convinced me I was wrong.

[This Machine]

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

[Longtorso, Johnny]

Luckily, all of you have known me as a Manly Alpha, so I'm sticking around.

[Heroic Mulatto]

That's Cytotoxic-levels of delusion, right there.

[HeteroPatriarch]

Weren't you the bottom in one of Sugarfree's stories?

[paranoid android]

So this blog is an instruction manual on acting like an asshole? Seems like a niche market...

[Bubba Jones]

From what I can tell, this blog seems to be the most tedious possible way to talk about picking up chicks.

[Bubba Jones]

And yes, I think it can best be summarized by the axiom "chicks dig assholes"

[MetalBard]

Well I hope they wash their hands after.

[paranoid android]

I'm trying to imagine telling a woman that she can meet my friends, but only my new friends, because I "ghosted" everyone I knew after I "manned up and got alpha", and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want anything to do with someone who wouldn't laugh in my face upon saying it.

[Juice]

But not you, because you're just a beta wimp who's acting like an asshole and chicks can spot that shit a mile away.

[The War on Freedom]

And I dig chick's assholes. So there's also that.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

From what I can tell, this blog seems to be the most tedious possible way to talk about picking up chicks.

Yes... it's turned the pickup artist into a tractus academia (forgive my off-the-cuff latin translation of it's wrong) which makes for very tedious and painfully long-winded reading.

[Libertarian]

To paraphrase H.L. Mencken : No one ever went broke overestimating the number of assholes in America.

[tarran]

What the hell is ghosting and why is this guy whining about it?

It appears to me that he's very insecure and is afraid other men might be mean to him, you know, diss him; say his rhymes are sissy.

[robc]

I know that link without cklicking, and I applaud you.

[MetalBard]

I don't know, when I keep hearing words like "alphas" and "betas", and "disrespected" I start to roll my eyes. Who gives a shit what other people think of you? And if they don't respect your time then don't waste your time on them.

Damn I guess I agree with guy. I still don't care for all this "alpha" "beta" talk.

[Longtorso, Johnny]

Because you're a gamma.

[MetalBard]

A gamma? Does that mean I go straight through you and give you cancer and stuff?

[Heroic Mulatto]

Or turn him into the Hulk.

It is a good rule.

Does Transit Save Energy?
...The key issue turns out to be occupancy -- how full is the train or bus. And it turns out that occupancy is probably lower than most people think. That is because everyone rides on buses or trains as they commute -- they are going in the direction of most people's travel at the time of day they travel, so the transit is totally full. But no one thinks about those trains having to go back the other direction, usually mostly empty....

[Rt. Hon. Judge Woodrow Chipper]

But no one thinks about those trains having to go back the other direction, usually mostly empty....

Actually, everyone pretty much DOES think about such "deadheading".

Except the people fixing the prices.

[Illocust]

Interesting point.

[HeteroPatriarch]

No one thinks about the other 20 hours a day when the transit is still running with just two Jr. high kids making out and a hobo pissing on the back seat.

Gun Regulations = Even If We Can't Explain Why They're Needed, They Should Never Be Repealed

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

A friend of mine just got his paperwork for a silencer. It took 3 years. When people say we need common-sense gun regulations, I actually agree with them, but not for the reasons they think.

[Bubba Jones]

The article is dumb in that it ignores subsonic ammo.

LOVE THIS QUOTE

Silencers were used by a former Los Angeles police officer in a 2013 killing spree, according to the Police Foundation ? one reason the law-enforcement research group wants to keep restrictions in place.

[Crusty Juggler]

Damn.

[Crusty Juggler]

Penalties for misuse are steep. People found guilty of using a silencer in a violent crime under federal law face a minimum of 30 years in prison.

Despite their new popularity, silencers don't appear to be turning up much on the streets. Police in Philadelphia and Richmond, Virginia, two high-crime cities in the eastern U.S., haven't encountered silencers at crime scenes or during investigations, according to spokespeople for the departments.

Silencers were used by a former Los Angeles police officer in a 2013 killing spree, according to the Police Foundation ? one reason the law-enforcement research group wants to keep restrictions in place.

How Turkey held the EU for ransom

It was only on Friday that Turkish authorities seized control of the country's largest newspaper, Zaman, dispersing protestors with tear gas. Such an action would normally prompt censure from Brussels.

Europe's dry official commentary at the end of the summit: "The EU heads of state or government also discussed with the Turkish prime minister the situation of the media in Turkey."

Instead of weighing sanctions, the EU is considering accelerating Turkey's negotiations for EU membership. That process, which has been stalled for years, normally requires a candidate country meet basic standards on everything from the independence of its judiciary to press freedom

Is there a more inept, ineffectual and morally bankrupt institution than the EU, anywhere.

[Irish Breaks Up W/ ESB]

So Johnny Longtorso got me thinking: Is this alpha, beta, gamma nonsense just the pickup version of astrological signs?

"which one are you?

alpha: you are confident and your own man. you do your own thing and have complete confidence in everything you do. you have your self doubts, but you don't let it cloud your judgment and logic. you are well liked by almost everyone, and you just have an easy charm and swagger about your presence. women are drawn to your charisma and presence. you enjoy being social and having lots of people around. you are a natural leader

omega: you are the polar opposite of the alpha male, but in a good way. like the alpha male you are confident, intelligent and have a sense of charisma about you, but unlike the alpha male, you are completely your own person. you do not need anyone, and you can even be emotionally distant due to your complete self-possession. you trust few people and foster even fewer intimate relationships. omegas do not care for leadership by others as they are perfectly capable of leading themselves"

What would you call someone who always talks about how alpha they are on the internet but never actually has sex?

[Irish Breaks Up W/ ESB]

"sigma male: you are a manipulative mastermind. you are a spider waiting to lay your trap. you possess a cunning, intuitive mind and can sway people to your will. you don't have the casual swagger of the alpha or the omega but you do have a clever presence about you and people tend to be both wary and respect you for that. you can often be even more powerful than the alpha or the omega male in social situations due to your ability to persuade and manipulate them. you are neither a follower or a leader but rather a wild card"

These people think life is a Game of Thrones episode. I bet this guy owns at least seven oversized leather jackets that he wears around town while glowering through his aviator sunglasses and tipping his trilby to passing ladies.

It's theoretically a good dating profile shot. It communicates "I take care of my body" but it comes with an inherent douchiness which has to be carefully managed.

[lap83]

The only way I can see it not being douchey is if he lost like 200 pounds. Then he may take one "after" shot. Vanity is always douchbaggy.

[Crusty Juggler]

I have seen him do it twice.

There's also the possibility that he's indirectly coming on to you

Goodness gracious.

A Trump fact Reason could have written about instead of that Nazi salute nonsense.

"Dip into the crosstabs and you'll find that, among non-Trump and non-Cruz voters, Cruz wins ? 72/17. In other words, if the field clears, virtually all of Rubio's and Kasich's support goes to Cruz over Trump. No wonder Cruz suddenly seems keen to finish off Rubio in Florida by starving him of conservative votes there; if these numbers are right, Cruz could beat Trump the rest of the way even if Trump has Florida in his back pocket."

Rubio needs to drop out and let Cruz beat the shit out of Trump for the rest of the primary. If Rubio drops out, Cruz wins the nomination.

[Crusty Juggler]

[Zeb]

Do you think that anyone is actually outraged at this point? The most I can manage is a bored sigh.

[Crusty Juggler]

I think a lot of people like to act outraged!!!!! I think Trump brings about a different level of outrage when it comes to politics, and by that I mean he has both political parties, the vast majority of the media, Hollywood, etc, against him, and we are not even finished with primary season. Then we have the outrage!!!!!! at the outrage!!!!!! Both sides have fairly legitimate points, and both sides do a pretty terrible job of making those points.

Don't look it up, but if you want to look it up, see what goes on during a Trump rally. Everything about them is disgusting. I am less bored, and more just continuously disappointed by everything, and almost everyone.

[lap83]

Personally, I'm outraged that I don't see more Trump in the news.

Too bad the GOP establishment seems to hate Cruz even more then they do Trump. So they'll keep Rubio in, and hope they can pull off some shenanigans during a brokered convention.

[Zeb]

The disdain for Cruz seems really odd to me. I guess maybe he's not enough of a team player.

Do you really think they hate him more than Trump? I could imagine the establishment sucking it up and lining up behind him more than Trump. But then I don't claim to have too much insight into the minds of the Republican establishment.

Why would it put Florida in the bank when Rubio is second or third in Florida ?

[grrizzly]

Is this our John?

Let me say up front that I am a lifelong Republican and conservative. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life and have voted in every presidential and midterm election since 1988. I have never in my life considered myself anything but a conservative. I am pained to admit that the conservative media and many conservatives' reaction to Donald Trump has caused me to no longer consider myself part of the movement.

I am a Trump supporter. My father is a Trump supporter. We both went to war for this country. My father spent 40 years in the private sector maintaining this thing we like to call the phone system. I have spent the last 20 years in the Army and toiling away doing national-security and law-enforcement issues for the federal government.

[paranoid android]

Not enough barely-suppressed inchoate rage to be John.

[grrizzly]

I'm 100% sure it's him. I know his name and every point he made in the article he had already made here.

All of this seems to have been lost. Conservatives have become some sort of schizophrenic sect of libertarians who love freedom (but hate potheads and abortion) and feel the US should be the policeman of the world. The same people who daily fret over the effects of leaving our society to the mercy of Hollywood and the mass culture have somehow decided leaving it to the mercies of the international markets is required.

[Irish Breaks Up W/ ESB]

John also doesn't admit he's a Trump supporter.

It would be: "Now I am not a Trump supporter. You all know that. However, the middle class has been stomped on by the elites for so long that I can understand why they would support Trump.

All of you making fun of Trump supporters are a bunch of elitist assholes. Why don't you go socially signal to your prog buddies somewhere else?"
