Reg,

Have we atheists lost the metaphoric substrate of our ethos?

Awesome video! The Geothermal generators at the base of super volcanoes are a definite super possibility…though Eco-Wackos would balk at puting them up and we would thus be sacrificed to their volcano gods. They would definitely balk at putting a geothermal plant at…[Read more]

Robert,

Totally in agreement that the term liberal is inapposite for progressives and the labels do get confusing at times. But when i use lefty, progressive i am referring to the far left who are woke and have the oppressor/oppressed belief, selective bleeding heart for certain classes of oppressed and Jew hatred supported by a mythology based…[Read more]

Thanks Reg!!

Have a great week everyone!

Image by ChatGPT and meme by me.

Netanyahu has gone to Greece – flew in this morning – he’s apparently in hiding or so I’ve read.

Yeah Enco, the consensus seems to be limited damage to Fordow. I suppose it would be dangerous to Americans or more dangerous to be directly involved. Might just take one pass with the bunker busters to end that site. Or sell/lease/give to Israel to do the job. Already USA has helped defend Israel along with other nations. I assume that Americans…[Read more]

Pope,

Very creative insults. Bravo. But ya got me curious so i fed my scribbles to Meta and the response gets and A-.

This essay appears to be a stream-of-consciousness critique of various topics, including:

A speaker they strongly dislike
References to current events, protests, and political issues (e.g., Palestine, Trump, and Elon…[Read more]

Oh my gawd Pope that speaker is unspeakable.

I assume you meant this for me, but didn’t want to contribute to the source thread. (Just click on the link above, if you want to read it again.)

I had enough trouble comprehending enough of what you wrote, it prompted me to ask ChatGPT to summarize it. Man, Chattie did not have much…[Read more]

The nuances of paradise puzzle me. Are these Iranian leaders getting their 1 way ticket to paradise? Does a Muslim have to strap a bomb to their leg to get those virgins? I argue that even if it is not strict martyrdom it is constructive martyrdom. You head one of these regimes/terrorist groups bent on destroying Israel you are probably gonna die…[Read more]

Bigfucker1!

TACO Don suddenly realizes that deporting immigrant workers is a disaster. Get ready for the “blame someone and claim victory” exit strategy. One hopes the result will be some sort of reasonable guest worker policy like many other countries have so that a person can come here, not to rape and murder, but to work, without fear of being…[Read more]

Reg, you tell a mean story. I mean well in saying so.

i know a number of Filipino dishes but that one is new to me. I need some halo halo. Definitely no to balut.

A few books ive read made reference to the hard work and good cheer of Filipinos. One of em and i cant remember the title involved Filipinos being the only ones who were shoveling…[Read more]

One of my client sites has a 50/50 mix of Filipinos and Europeans. What I note about the Filipinos is that they are laid back even when working hard, which is always and yet they are always smiling and joking.  I brought in some Ube Halaya for someone’s birthday recently. When I told them the name of the shop I got it in (in Dublin) they started…[Read more]

Around 2001 I had a short-term contract where I managed a project for Xerox to install several printers in a large company in Belfast, across 3 sites. My contact on their side was a Unionist who made it very clear to me that he hated people from “the South”. He did not actually say anything directly to me but we both instinctively knew which “tr…[Read more]

Yes the CT comparison helps. I can only imagine what a huge disincentive for immigrants. Sending a signal loud and clear that we don’t want you. And Filipiinos are such easy going people. I know a generalization but still…

Dublin or bust. That is no place to raise a family for outsiders.

I think the nationalities are not the primary reason that they are being attacked. It is the fact that they are “not us”. These communities have been very insular and unchanged for centuries and are very conservative in their outlook. This has made them very tribal and any “outsider” is seen as a potential threat to destabilizing their social and…[Read more]
