Love it that a Black woman gets booted for smoking weed and there are undoubtedly dozens of athletes, probably Russian, hopped up on dimethyl-9 glucosanal corticopopanal-32 or whatever other cocktail cooked up in a FSB lab to be undetectable by a test that are still allowed to compete.

But don’t worry, Ice Cream Grandpa is “really proud” of how she responded to having her dreams crushed over something that 100% of people surveyed indicate was totally loving stupid and outdated 20 years ago.

And she repeatedly doubles down on it. She founded Quillette, that rag that had run people like Andy Ngo.

A jersey pocket can hold an LCP or a subcompact Glock pretty easily. I hate the idea of needing to carry while riding but maybe this rear end in a top hat will think twice about pulling something cute with his truck when he gets out of jail/the hospital.

facialimpediment posted:And meanwhile, it turns out that the old, hyper-creepy, hyper-online Cat Person story from a few years ago also involved some weird, creepy borderline-stalking from the author too. Yiiiiiiikes. Both of these were profoundly unsettling reads. I remember reading the original piece in the New Yorker and thought it was just kind of weird and gross, and re-reading it today in conjunction with that Slate piece underscored that. Just skin crawling vibes all around.

Bored As gently caress posted:Apparently Chicago is having a really bad problem with carjackings lately, with a ton of them being done by armed kids/teens. Same in DC- grand theft autos are up something like 600% over last year. Even controlling for COVID, that’s a lot. We had one really ugly case where a 13 and 15 year old girl tried to carjack an Ubereats driver, which led to him getting killed in the car accident that resulted from the struggle over the car. Both girls took plea deals that will see them in juvenile detention until they’re 21 in exchange for not being tried as adults.

mlmp08 posted:drat, SOF boards have tankies, too? The only SOF guy on the hard left that I can think of is Stan Goff, a former Delta operator, Ranger and SF guy who got deeply involved with anti-war activism and the far left after he left the service. Also, if the board that Mustang was referencing was Professional Soldiers (run for and by current SF soldiers) then yeah- they’re creepy as hell these days. The members of that forum were part of what dissuaded me from doing 18X like 10-12 years ago (that and reading GIP). I checked the forums there before the inauguration and they had people discussing this QAnon claim that the military raided some place in Germany to recover a server that had proof of election fraud. I think they also deleted a bunch of threads about the Capitol insurrection as well. poo poo is creepy and toxic. Meanwhile, almost 100 dead and 1300 missing in Germany and Belgium from the floods. It seems like all of those things we were warned about in the 1990s are starting to happen, but my dudes have you heard of this Critical Race Theory thing?! That’s clearly what we should be tackling instead of the West Coast tiptoeing being uninhabitable and the rest of the world experiencing 100-year weather events on a monthly basis.

This kind of poo poo has been happening all year. Violent crime is up significantly in DC, which isn’t uncommon for summer, but it’s getting a lot of attention because it’s spilling into neighborhoods that historically haven’t had much violent crime. Aside from opportunistic robberies and such, most violent crime in DC is pretty targeted and linked to neighborhood “crews” (small, tightly localized gangs) than it is random. Nats Stadium itself is usually fine but the adjacent neighborhoods aren’t so great, so it wouldn’t be outlandish if some neighborhood drama spilled out near the stadium. It’s just been weird in DC in general. Lot more people on edge or with a short fuse. I tend to avoid the major nightlife corridors on weekends, though that’s mostly because I have two dogs who demand constant walks and play sessions.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Oh wow, on a similar note I listened to a podcast where an infosec auditing team was hired by a high tech company in the US to audit their factory security, and the team included a guy fluent in Chinese. While they were in the town in the middle of nowhere Midwest he went to a Chinese restaurant and looked at the menu in Chinese and saw they had black duck eggs. The guy realized no way a Chinese place in the middle of Nebraska or somewhere similar would offer something like that if they didn’t have ton of people from China in town all the time, and it wound up being a major espionage discovery with the FBI called in. I listened to this on your recommendation and now I’m absolutely hooked. Thanks!

This is the most rage inducing article I’ve read since like yesterday at least. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/07/18/idaho-housing-market/ quote:
quote:
And to think that the boomer scum who own 21 houses in six states are at the milder end of the spectrum when compared to the investment firms that are gobbling up real estate left and right to rent back to people at exorbitant rates. I think the cowards at the Post left the comments off on this one because they knew that people would probably use the platform to storm Jeff Bezos’ house while he’s off on his special little space adventure.

Pretty sure there’s no proper way for someone with better-than-layman’s medical knowledge to treat penetrating head trauma in a pre-hospital environment. It was a better decision to check for other bleeds that he actually could treat with the usual contents of an IFAK. And wtf gently caress this dude for shooting at paramedics and firefighters.

At this point I’m loving through with people who are willingly unvaccinated. gently caress the vaccine hesitant, gently caress the all-natural wine mommy bloggers who are worried about CHEMICALS IN THE VACCINES, and double-gently caress the Chuds who won’t get vaccinated because they think it helps Biden. The time for carrots has passed- bring on the sticks. No more cash payouts or lotteries to entice the unvaccinated- your prize is that you get to join the civilized world and go to restaurants and live what passes for a normal life these days. The impending wave of restrictions are such a slap in the face for those of us who put our lives on hold in 2020, wore the masks and scrounged for vaccines in March and April of this year.

Platystemon posted:The vaccine fairy could visit every of-age American in the night and the epidemic would continue. Children and Delta make it so. You’re 100% right about the pandemic continuing and also that the mask guidance shouldn’t have been lifted until kids could get vaccinated as well. That’s part of why I’m so pissed that we’re having to do this again. Whole lotta people in government and industry desperately wanted to declare victory over COVID and walking it back sure must suck. My work is talking about bringing back international work travel as soon as September and I’d rather resign first.

TCD posted:With international travel, there's no way this isn't the new normal. The US only has about 50% flu shot rate, we're going to be with COVID for a long time. I just hope my kid can get a jab soon so the family has a best shot at avoiding serious illness. My agency has been talking about returning people to the field and reestablishing our international presence. One of the major parts of the feasibility of this is whether or not the people going to the field are vaccinated, but the high transmissibility of Delta even by vaccinated people is likely going to upend that (and it should.) So much of the world is still struggling with like 2% vaccination rates so introducing someone who could potentially be an asymptomatic spreader would be a huge moral issue in addition to being a potential PR disaster if someone could make the case that they were linked to a localized outbreak. I’m also having a hard time with this way of thinking: https://twitter.com/evanhill/status/1420943285548376069 If the qualifier of a mild case is the metric of “not being hospitalized and being put on supplemental o2” but doesn’t take into account long COVID or potential cognitive decline then we are in for some rough loving years. The tweets FI posted earlier are a little reassuring but I’m not feeling much else than a bit crushed by recent developments.
