Huh. Guess I need to back and watch 'Die Hard' again.

Drone believed to have hit British Airways flight 'may have been a plastic bag'
BAN THEM.
How could a plastic bag get confused for a drone? Don't planes hit birds and small crap like that all the time?
Cops confuse things all the time. I'm sure a pilot could confuse a plastic bag for a drone.
#SeemsLegit
Because the pants-shitters and statists both hate drones.
Because at 3 miles a minute you won't get a good look at it and DRONEZ are big with pants-shitters right now so...
... it MUST HAVE BEEN A DRONEZ!
How could a plastic bag get confused for a drone? Don't planes hit birds and small crap like that all the time?
Because both do about the same amount of damage.

Register your plastic bags.
I'm in Nebraska right now on business and they give you plastic bags when you buy something at the 7-11, way cool!
I told the clerk that we weren't allowed to have plastic bags back home in California, and he gave me a look like he'd found me fondling a dog's crotch.
When 7-11 clerks in Omaha think your state is stupid, perhaps it's time to reevaluate your feelgood policies.
He must not be a native Midwesterner, we're usually better at hiding the fact that we equate California with dog fondling
So you've been caught fondling dogs' crotches before?
Caught? It's allowed, nay, encouraged in CA.
That's a lot of rich felons, man.
That's how much they paid to get their voting rights back.
I thought it was more like the Net Present Value of future "welfare" benefits the felons will get.
"$200,000 convicted felons"? So, there's a dollar value attached to them?
It's Terry McAullife, there's always a dollar value attached.
That's how much the DNC paid him to create a new Democratic voting bloc!

Cops listen to girls scream as they drown in car, do nothing, then lie about it
Dominique Battle, 16, Ashaunti Butler, 15, and Laniya Miller, 15, died April 1 after a night of joyriding and running from the cops. They stole a 1990 Honda Accord after its owner offered to give the girls a ride to a nearby park.
Car-ma.
What are they, lifeguards?

Listen, it's quite simple. If you don't want to drown like a thug, don't send the police on a car chase like a thug.
I was waiting for Papaya to show up and say this.
I thought it was Papaya at first.
Papaya is currently too busy creeping out on the teenage girls buying manga at the comic book store while he waits for the clerk to hand him his issue of Flash #50 and the other stuff on his pull list.
#50? Did they start renumbering with the New 52?
Yes. And they're ending the New 52 this May and "pre-booting" back to the pre-Flashpoint universe. This issue supposedly sets some of that up.
NERDZ!!!!
*YAWN*
No, I'm actually just too busy with a new job to be here too often.
In the article comments, someone said the three girls had seven car thefts between them. Should the police have done more to save them? Maybe, but I shed no tears when felons die because of their own stupid actions. The state just saved a lot of money in criminal justice and welfare costs, and the average IQ there just went up a little bit. Evolution in action, bitches.
They were kids.
I don't mean to get all liberal here but I remain a humanist.
Humanity first.
So they steal cars. Not worth losing a life over. Do your duty as a FUCKING HUMAN BEING.
Fucken assholes.
Not you, the cops.
"They were kids." I suspect they were the kind of kids you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley, Rufus.
"Not worth losing a life over." True, the girls should have thought of that, before they tried to run from police and drove a stolen car into a pond.
I agree that the cops had a duty to try to rescue them, but it is Florida and ponds have alligators, and I don't know the exact timeline. I just think it's dumb to focus on that as somehow the root issue. Car theft is not a trivial crime, and it doesn't sound like this was a first offense, either. When felons do violent and stupid shit that puts them in great danger, I have a hard time thinking that the "real" issue is that the police didn't do enough to save them from the consequences of their own actions.
Unclear on what risk was posed to the cops. Disturbing if they took pleasure in the deaths, but people are people, and expecting them to risk their lives for two people who had been systematically pissing them off...

OK, let me understand this correctly. The mother is not concerned that her criminal daughter stole a vehicle, went joy riding in it, ran from the police in it, then crashed it into a pond causing her death. This mother is concerned that the police officers did not jump into a pond, in Florida, at night, possibly with alligators in it, to try and get her criminal daughter out of the pond? Did I miss anything? Not to make this a race issue, but anyone want to guess what color the skin of the criminals was? Just had to throw that in since the media failed to. As usual, simply blacks doing what blacks typically do and now they want to blame the police because they died committing their crimes."
W.T.F.?
It's racism Rufus. We still have people here who say things like that.
The only thing racist I see there is "blacks doing what blacks typically do." If he had written "blacks doing what blacks disproportionately do" it would be accurate and not racist IMO.
Sticking up for your peeps, I see.
Nope, just callin' 'em as I see 'em, and going by statistics.
Man, he's still bitter that Maverick beat him.
Not to make this a race issue, but lemme say some blatantly racist things right now
Were they racing the cops? Or were they racing away from the cops? Definitely a race issue.
Perhaps a bit of over-emphasis on proper fitting foot wear, but not inaccurate.
Stupid games, stupid prizes

Why waste the effort to type out the obvious
The comments on Autoblog are depressingly depraved. What a bunch of losers.
And then the officer clenched his fist as threw his paper diner coffee cup on the ground. He then looked up at the night sky and cursed an aloof and uncaring God.
Did he throw his badge into the pond in disgust?

#NeverTrump is still at it.
The most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film The Never Ending Story.
Although I hate the thought of it, he's going to be their nominee.
He's got a string of northeastern states where he is surprisingly strong, and that will give him the momentum going into California.
On the Donkey side, Hillary will be the nominee and won't get indicted.

I wish this cancer would hurry up and kill me....
Serious question - what's the thing about cancer?
Almanian has cancer. I have yet to receive my invitation to his coke and stripper bender.
Sorry, Almanian.
Don't say that. I had my scans and was pronounced cancer free on Tuesday. In October they were giving me a 10-15% chance of making it. Doctors are doing amazing things these days.
Congrats to you. We can but hope and pray the same for Alamanian.
/dons sunglasses.
Yes, chin up Almanian!
I've been in remission from bone marrow cancer for over three years now, and initially they said there was a fair chance I'd be done by this point.
We're all pulling for you. Let's get together and laugh about this ten years from now.
Wow. You guys are something else. Congrats.
We've been hit with cancer hard. My FIL lost his life to prostate cancer. My wife's childhood friend died of breast cancer at 42. Our friends have a son - 16 - who has leukemia for the second time but is winning his battle - thankfully.
It's retarded.
Congratulations. But after you said, "Doctors are doing amazing things these days," you forgot to say, "thanks to Obamacare."
Seriously, I can't imagine what you've been through. Great news.
Besides, Almanian, you could win! I'd much rather have you as POTUS than Shrillary.
Stay strong, Almanian.
Best wishes for you from the Northeast.
Best wishes to Almanian and carol.
Prayers and good wishes.
Don't worry, Almanian. They're curing it all the time nowadays.

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART!
Hillary will be the nominee and won't get indicted.
"Crooked Hillary" won't have to be. Trump will, um, embarrass her in the debates.
At least we have some weeks of entertainment to look forward to.
Wish I were that optimistic, but Hillary is so bad that I think the only way she'll win the general election is if Trump is her opponent.
You think her anti-gun, pro-Syrian refugee stances are going to be wildly popular, huh?
I'm saying that she's the semi-presumptive nominee despite not having done a single smart thing in the last 24 years. I don't understand it -- but who am I to argue with evidence?
Cheaters
...Blue Pill ideology is something learned and internalized over the course of a man's boyhood into his adult life. When you consider a guy's upbringing and the extent that the Feminine Imperative conditions and reinforces his investments socially, culturally, religiously, etc., it's easy to see how 'natural' and unlearned it seems to the guy who's centered his identity on it.
...When men aren't "just being themselves" it's 'cheating'. What it's cheating is Hypergamy. It is cheating the ignorant Blue Pill ego-invested men whose identities are dependent upon men abiding by a rule set that no longer serves their best interests.
""I help men be more attractive to women so they can reach their relationship goals." It's my standard go-to response when questioned about my blog.
"I don't understand."
"Men can learn how to be more attractive to women and I help them with that."
James looked shocked and then quickly got angry.
"That's cheating!" He was emphatic. He was pissed off. He was not attacking me, just my message. Again, the guy code applied."
Far be it for me to claim a PUA blog isn't being honest, but I guarantee this never happened
Oh my god you have to stop.
"Please continue to lose what little respect for me you already had," Johnny Longtorso pleaded to the commenters.

Classic:
"So as a public service I've made the following list of things men no longer need to hear women's opinions on. Please take a moment away from Instagram to jot these down:
50 Shades of Grey
Yoga pants
The thoroughly disproven 77? on the dollar 'Wage Gap' lie
Giggling about 'Dad Bods' being "sexy"
Your confusion about where all the good men have gone
Fat Acceptance
Red Pill Truths
'Designer cupcakes' and hand-baked dog treats being examples of 'female entrepreneurship'
Christian patriarchy in an age of feminine assimilation of religion
Any sentence that begins with, "As a woman I,?"
Pleas for men's aid in advancing your feminist ideals at the United Nations after claiming not to 'need' men
Any form of flavored martinis (or boxed wine)
50 Shades of Grey (again)
Whether or not your feminine responsibility to engage in traditional Holiday 'cheer' is un-feminist
And the complete lack of ethics in all forms of journalism
If you can control yourselves and hold back from further expressing your opinions on any of these topics we'll let you keep weighing in (uh, heh) on important topics like blow job techniques and pole dancing classes for housewives in shape enough to pull it off."
Thanks to the Internet, I get to find what unmediated, unapologetic racism and sexism is like.
The comments section of any story with a racial angle (not on H&R, but on, say, local news blogs) is a key source.

While still a dick move, AU is a private school so they could indeed enforce a policy like this. However, I'm glad they yanked that flack's chain.
To be fair, that's what people who own (or represent those who own) private property get to do.
I watched the clips they posted.
its like people speak this new, modern 'stuttering teen' language which is all about making squee noises and vague, expansive half-statements which no one ever finishes,
"Uhm, Ah? Seriously? like, literally this is a human right I mean OMG"
I understand that twitter-sized video clips aren't supposed to be 'explanatory' so much as merely 'snapshots'. its just that the manner of tete-a-tete is so... just passive aggressive? icky.
To be fair, the second one was 'clearer', but the most you got from it was that the term "Safe Spaces" was used.
Is it too much to ask that there simply be an announcement that this 'Safe Spaces" concept is grade-A horseshit, and has nothing to do with any legal standard or even basic behavioral guideline... its effectively just an excuse to tell everyone to shut up and do what [insert someone on college campus] says
"Virginia Gov. Tery McAuliffe restores voting rights to more than $200,000 convicted felons."

Second, I explain the participants. I get into the heads of the men you compete with and the girls you compete for. I explain exactly how they think and what they'll do.
Third, I outline the Player's Journey and how to chart your own path towards claiming more than your fair share of hot young women.
I am not going to read anything funnier than that all weekend.
It's the intersection between sad and funny. I keep thinking about Tom Cruise's character in Magnolia, which was a spot-on parody of the PUA crowd.
RESPECT THE COCK.
Oh, I do, Citizen, I do.
My wife regretted watching that movie with me. Once you start saying "Respect the Cock!", it's really difficult to stop.
Be honest, Tonio: you want to know how to get your fair share of hot young women.
I already do. And I love it when I'm out with a hot, younger chick and get "the look" from some straight guy, that look that says "what the fuck does see see in you, old man?"
You have strange fetishes.
Tell me more about these hot younger chicks.
I already do. Unfortunately my fair share is approximately "none."
Now if someone can show me how to get my completely undeserved share of hot young women, I'll listen intently.
Spending money on that shit still isn't going to get you to 2nd base.

So, after promise that they are totally not bringing back gun registry, Liberals in Canada are bringing gun inscription. Basically, guns will be reclassified as "hunting", "prohibited" or "circumscribed." Any non-hunting firearms, you have to store at a shooting club, or you can keep them at home. With some common-sense provisions:
(Note that this is an already-existing common-sense provision)
Whole ugly mess here
But it's not registration. See, they call it something else which changes everything!
You a funny guy, Tonio? Think you know sarcasm? From the Senator Herself:
That's scary. The mask is off.
Of course, the police are also subject to all of those common-sense provisions, right? RIGHT?!
Funny you should ask
Ah. Naturally.
" firearm that is owned by Her Majesty "
Queenie be packin'!!
It's good to be the King Queen!
What is a hunting firearm, you may ask? The good Senator who proposed the bill has you covered:
All other firearms are Prohibited or Circumscribed.
The "inscription" part is where you have to get a certificate for each firearm, but it's not a "registration" - it's "inscription".
Oh, and BTW, Canadian Senate is not elected. It is appointed by the Prime Minister as the openings come up.
"(a)?has knowledge of the historical, technological or scientific characteristics that relate or distinguish the restricted firearms or handguns that he or she possesses"
How about this: any politician who wants to ban any gun must meet this same standard, and the punishment for failing is immediate removal from office, forfeiture of their pensions, and a ban on ever serving in public office again.
Good for the goose, good for the gander, right?
Vancouver #OccupyINAC group vows to stay until demands met
Seems reasonable.
It's not like they have jobs to go to.
Yeah, they are assholes but few groups get fucked by government at every level like Canadian indigenous population. Including, of course, both governments they live under and which are exempt from any checks and balances forced on municipal and provincial governments, and by the federal government, who basically has stewardship over them.
I mean, Augustus Octavian would look at the setup of Imperial-client government relationships we have and go "come on guys, this looks unfair, either enslave them or let them be".
The most racist thing we can do is give them more money to A) enable B) enrich the Chiefs C) keep them on the reserves or wherever.
That's racism. Not what Chretien suggested in moving them to a better place. They act as if moving is a horrific thing. Millions of people leave the land they love.Think my father was crazy about leaving his country? But guess what? He came to appreciate it here.
It could happen to them too.
It is unfathomable to me to imagine wanting to stay on a "reservation" - hell, I got out of the dead-end town I grew up in at the first opportunity, and it has to be paradise in comparison. It is just a mindset I do not understand.
We have to break it with Natives. Telling them "oh you like it on this useless, desolate land disconnected from everything? Itsokay because culture and tradition" is not helping anyone.
In the meantime, kids are committing suicides at record pace and then they scream we need to do something.
Many natives do that if they can. Which is why it's in the interest of their local (non-elected by and large) governments to keep them poor, addicted and uneducated. They lose power when they lose populace. Federal government assists them by making sure that any Native who doesn't live on the reserve loses their Native Status. So no support from government, but you have to pay tax, so if you don't find a job fast you're boned. Oh, and some bands have additional criteria for membership, so the leadership can fuck you over if you stir trouble.
OK, it's an unfair generalization - some of the reservations have saner leadership and are trying to leverage any advantage they have to work at improving their economic status legally and illegally (part of the Native treaties was untaxed tobacco, which means you can get cigarettes at like, 1/3 the price, which means, black market trade with outside world). Because there are 614 different governments, there's a huge spread of outcomes.
Basically, if you read even a little about the situation, it makes you want to forget even anarchism and just turn pirate and go throat-cutting.
It's sordid isn't it, huh?
Can you elaborate - do you mean, less support than a "non-native"? Like no unemployment insurance etc.?
No, you get same support as non-native. But no EI because you haven't paid in in the first place. Contrary to expectations, basic welfare isn't that generous, and there's a considerable delay in getting it. You can look for a place to live, but you might need references - do you know anyone in the city? And then we have a question of skills. Education is provincial responsibility but reserves are federal responsibility. So education of Native population is generally not good.
It's like moving to another country, basically. Complete with the question, if most ambitious people (er...whose ambition is not to be part of reserve government) leave, what happens with each passing year to those who stay?
For a lot of people, leaving still leads to a better outcome than staying. But it's really hard, in a way that it isn't for someone moving from BC to Alberta or even Quebec.
Gee it's almost like they don't want you to leave the reservation.
Lol. What?
$5 million to $1 billion?
We have enough of Quebec with this nonsense.
If you're going to make ridiculous demands, you may as well swing for the back fence.

Why do progressives get a constant pass for blatant lies? Everything predicted by the environmentalists has failed to come true, but we are turning over massive parts of the economy to their oversight. They lied about the ACA and threw mud on anyone who dared question them. They are doing the same thing with minimum wage. You can go back through the last century and find that the opponents of every progressive piece of legislation made predictions shit on at the time as fear mongering that eventually came true.
But I'd rather focus on the environemntalist nonsense. That led to a slew of regulations at the time, and it was all a pack of lies. Yet the regulations just seem coming.
Because the media is dominated by them.
And as we all know, the media never lies.
Intentions, Chet, intentions. Progressives are always to be judged by their intentions.
I know all of that, really. It's more cathartic to bitch about it at this point.
Look, Brochettaward, they have good intentions and are trying. Nevermind that all of their predictions have proven to be disastrously wrong and royally fucked everyone, with the fucking falling disproportionately on poor people and minorities. The important thing is that they are morally superior to all those evil TEATHUGLIKKANZ. You wouldn't want a TEATHUGLIKKAN making those decisions, would you? Just imagine how bad things would be!!!

The policies claim that the person elevating the sexual encounter must be the one to ask, and if any step is missed ? well, then it's rape....
Ah I see they've added an important caveat to make sure they never get charged under their own stupid rules. "Elevating the sexual encounter" will mean the man is the only one who is supposed to ask about consent, because we all know just like women never rape they are also never the ones that move things along either. Implying otherwise will just be a rapist trying to get off on charges.
Women don't like sex, Illocust. You should know this, you identify as one.
Exactly, which is why smutty fanfiction and boy bands are just a figment of my imagination 😀
Oh sure, you like the idea of sex. Female-identifying people sure write the smuttiest smut, it's true. I've been aghast at the things I've read.
Repeat after me, though shalt not search for both the M-preg and Crack tags on AO3 unless drunk and dared too.

I'm glad I don't know what those words mean.
Blissful ignance.
It's where teenage girls really want Captain America to have Iron Man's baby but they don't want to put him him through a magically sex-swap transformation first.
There, I've made you that much more aware of how creepy and weird teenage girls' sex fantasies are.
lol
Lots of m/m fetishism among the blogging/fanfic teen girl circles, I've noticed. Sounds dissatisfying, frankly; but then, I'm not much of a voyeur.
Eh, m/m for girls is the same logic as w/w for boys. If you can't actually be their to enjoy the pretty thing yourself then two pretty things is generally better than one
Or impossibly tantalizing!
Oh, wait, I'm the abnormal one.
Touch?, that makes sense.
"make affirmative consent sexy"
"Your wife -- does she enjoy ... photography?"
Does she like gladiator movies?
+ several Nudge-Nudges.
"but no one has sex this way,"
I definitely know of one person in this thread who's not having any sex at all, and he's getting obsessive about it.
AnonBot?
Hitler?
Playa Manhattan?
GILMORE, with his Prince posts.
It would be nice if they would publish the names of the lawyers who are pushing this particular bit of policy-change.

Amazon Doesn't Consider the Race of Its Customers. Should It?
If these people fuck up my beloved Prime...I can't even...
Great, yes their current approach is 100% non-racist because they have no clue who the fuck you are when they deliver products, but we want the shiny and you should give it to us because we are black. /sarc
Dumbasses.
Oh no. The morons are going after Amazon now?
I swear. This I will pick up arms for if they fuck it up.
I was wondering why there is a small mountain of Amazon packages cluttering up the mail area every day when I get home to my building.

RoK: Why Asian Women Are Better To Date Than American Women
...Arranging the date is far easier with Asian women. The Asian woman listens and happily accommodates with any recommendations. She is just glad to be in your company and whatever plans you make are almost irrelevant to simply being with you.
The American women is indecisive, whiny and wants you to make all the decisions. If you offer up something she does not approve of she will say so, but not offer any alternatives, not to mention the 30% chance she will flake all together. As a man, you are already annoyed with her but you move forward with the date anyway....
"They don't know what I'm saying so I have an extra 15 seconds before they realize I'm a creep because I keep trying to take upskirt pics"
The Republic of Korea would say that Koreans are better to date.
Oh wait, you don't mean that RoK.
What about Asian-American women?
They kick ass and are often smoking hot, smart, and funny.
Heh. Reminds me of the sexist opinions my grandpa had on why the women in Japan were better than American girls.
I did not read it, but I am sharing it for those of you who like to punish yourselves, because I assume it is awful.
Prince's Holy Lust
by By Toure.
It actually wasn't half as bad as i expected. And mercifully short.
Basically he says, "Prince was both Naughty and Nice = for all the sex, there was almost always some God in there somewhere"
Dalrock: Clearing the Christian marriage market.
...In short, Wilson has the problem exactly backwards. He overlooks the fact that women are very open about their desire to ride the carousel for as long as possible before marriage. He also clearly doesn't understand the realities of the sexual marketplace (SMP) and marriage marketplace (MMP). Young women are the rockstars of the SMP, while young men are near the bottom. Since young women have the power, they set the terms. And what women want* is years, if not a decade or more, of sex with a small subset of the most attractive men before settling for a boring loyal dude. It makes no sense that men would prefer to marry just when their SMP stock is on the rise, and just when the SMP stock of their soon to be bride is rapidly declining....
You seem to be fishing with a pretty wide net. How's that working out for you?
Omwc could be the master at investing in SMP stock futures, except he dumps the stock too early
So, when are you due? (whips out calendar)

I've wanted to punch him for a really long time.
That just makes him dreamier, like it did for the Biebs
Reference: Improving The Sexual Attractiveness Of Christian Men Won't Cure The Christian Marriage Crisis
It is widely recognized in the 'sphere that Christian men, as a whole, tend to be unattractive and unappealing to women (Christian and secular alike). Under the PSALM/LAMPS model they fair poorly. They are for the most part raised that way, with everyone from their parents to the Church to society in general contributing to this deficiency. Many posters and commenters, myself included, have dedicated themselves to helping Christian men overcome this....
They should try wearing leather jackets and riding motorcycles.

I'm just spitballing here, but:
What do you guys think of the idea that Johnny Longtorso is a plant who comes here to try and make us all look bad? I mean, nobody could actually be this retarded, right?
I think he's legit. Who could invent him? Who would invent him?
What if he were Roosh himself?
Epi.
I'm not going down the who-is-this-poster-really rabbit hole anymore. We've seen the bad places that leads.
Wait, now Warty is Tulpa? I am so confused.
Well, I am a failed math professor who hates Jews and women and loves the police, so...
I will update my notes.
HS teacher. The tenure he was talking about was for a public High School.
"The tenure he was talking about was for a public High School."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh, man. I actually kind of miss his dumb ass.
Epi repeatedly using the phrase "Tulpy-poo"?
Hitler?
There's a difference?
The rest of you only look bad in comparison to me.
Fuck off, loser.
"he's kinda cute, isn't he?"
In the same way as a anecephalitic kitten, sure.
I thought you two were negging each other because you were flirting.
I really don't know how this PUA stuff works at all.
It's when your personality is so bad that acting like an asshole actually improves it, I think.
I've never really gotten why folks dislike the PUA thing. Either it doesn't work, in which case why the fuck does it matter, or it does work on a particular type of girl, in which case the main criticisms of it are blatantly wrong.
Unless you are a girl that is attracted to assholes and thus likely to end up with one of these guys, why do you care? Even if you are, why do you care? Are you upset that your asshole one night stand wasn't the genuine article?
Because they're weirdos and it's fun to laugh at them as they continuously fail to penetrate lonesome women.
And because some of them are like Johnny Longtorso and spam people with stupid shit about their sexual theories.
Have you looked in the mirror Irish. We're all commenting on a libertarian board. We are the weirdos.
Libertarian board. Weirdo ?galit? is a falsehood and a fool's errand.
"Dislike" would mean that i actually paid attention to it.
I have read 1 or 2 things on the website "Heartiste" which i think is connected to it. I've quoted or cited these things and people go, "OMG That's from that crazy evul fucked up PUA thing!"
Which i never quite grasped why that mattered. then i read something by Roosh (via Popehat i think) and i think i got a better idea. A lot of those dudes seem to overlap with the whole Alt-Right 'cuckery' thing.
Basically, since i never have to see their dumb shit, it doesn't bother me. I guess i'm blessed since i don't really deal with social media.
*Gibbs slaps Illy*
Yeah. That was pretty bad.
It doesn't work, but that's beside the point.
-It teaches people to treat all women like shit
-and, it's a gathering point for scumbags and date rapists
I've never really gotten why folks dislike the PUA thing.
Because the world has enough assholes in it without actively training more.
The negging thing is just the worst. I've seen someone try it, and it's just ugly and embarrassing to be around.
Maybe i haven't been paying attention; isn't he just posting weird examples from PUA blogs, or something?
I thought the Blue Pill thing was amusing.
Pretty much, he also posts other interesting articles on occasion. I rather enjoy having him around even if I don't agree with him on some things.
You should go on a date with him. I'll pay.
As, I assume, Illy isn't a Black man, I don't think it's his type.
Johnny's not looking for bulls for himself. Come on, bro. Have some respect.
Yes, only he doesn't think it's weird.
My "Weird Meter" is pretty broken from hanging out here. At least the calibration is so off that i'd be unlikely to distinguish a genuine creep from... well any of us.
Same here. I have to consciously check myself at the office all the time to make sure I'm not about to do an R C Dean in meatspace.
As Mrs. Dean has reminded me many times "Just because you think its funny, doesn't mean everybody else does."
He never comments on it, though, so I'll just take it as entertaining 'weird internet' finds, which I enjoy.
Does Longtorso endorse the stuff he posts? I thought he was just posting things that he found amusing? and the PUA desperate rationalizing certainly amuses me.
All evidence points to yes. He's free to deny it, and I'll take him at his word.
Irish and others post kooky shit all the time, and there's no question that they're mocking/critiquing it.
On the rare occasion I read Long's stuff I see it as the mirror of some of the feministe stuff, that I also rarely read. They are the Ying-barf and yang-barf of the universe.

I bet they will.

Dear god

The Chicago Teacher's Union is the dumbest teacher's union
"Teachers union head calls GOP governor an 'ISIS recruit'
Rauner is the new ISIS recruit," she said. "Yes, I said it, and I'll say it again. Bruce Rauner is a liar. And, you know, I've been reading in the news lately all about these ISIS recruits popping up all over the place ? has Homeland Security checked this man out yet? Because the things he's doing look like acts of terror on poor and working-class people."
Nope, unfortunately not dumb. Just aware that the great majority of people who will hear that statement will either believe it or weren't go to be in the teacher's union pocket anyways.
It's not dumb when all the right-thinking people eat that shit up.
If you're gonna smear someone, make the smear believable.
I got compared to Al Queda in a lawsuit. Yes, I won.
Love it when they make it easy on you
What the heck?
Rufus, they called him the "Al Queda of taste in fast food." I am still surprised he won.
I was going to ask what the fuck happened to Karen Lewis since she used to be fat and look like Winston Churchill, but then I remembered she had brain cancer.
It's nice to see the brush with her mortality hasn't made her a less shitty human being.
Chicago Union Chief Karen Lewis Defends High Salary, 3 Homes
Jesus. Chicago really does make the thieving, hypocritical scum that run NYC look like angels.
meh. the guy who runs the NYC teachers union makes $300g and isn't any smoother a character. they're all cut from the same slimy cloth.
And to be clear = i don't begrudge these people their salaries. its not even as much as I should have expected they'd be pulling ...(*note = i am pretty sure they're collecting a few hundred grand additional in 'consulting' and favors/kickbacks) .... its just their bullshit about pretending to be advocates of 'the poor' or 'middle class', whatever that means. I don't remember when Unions suddenly thought "middle-class" meant 'Them', but it really caught wildfire during the Obama admin, such that its like the new-normal.
the fact is that unions are a tiny-minority in the US. they're like 10% of the workforce, and their lives are NOTHING like anyone who's more-properly considered an 'average, middle-class american'. they belong to a weird, protected, institutionalized cult that is deeply embedded in politics. When they constantly refer to themselves as the "99%" or whatever, it seems to smack of a kind of desperation.
Didn't they have a president named Al Chancre a while ago?
Dude that guy doesnt have a clue man. Wow.
