I talked to a flat earther once. His whole reason to exist was to wear a serious face and argue a fraud until someone believed him. He got off on it. Probably an early version of trolling.
A lot of the black commentary on racism is like that also. Hyperinflated hyperbole meant to block out the sun.
IMO it’s a form of mental illness that is untreated except by a slap in the face. Words just fuel it.

It may be because this thread has the same title as the previous one. I assume that it was supposed to be “Week 12,” not “Week 11” again.
I could change it, but I’m not sure what would happen as a result. I’ve never edited a thread title before after it was posted and had comments.

Once upon a time the site got hosed so that all you got when you launched the URL was the last thread you looked at. The way to make it get the top thread was to use the URL form
blocmocracy.com/?q=12345
where ‘12345’ is a string of random numerals. My guess is the ? is a search command, the q= is an id of some sort and because it never finds that id, it gives you the top of the stack

IMO this is generated by the media reporting on systemic racism. It’s time to take the gloves off. The media and the politicians are only going to up the pressure like this. Start posting BLM not welcome signs. IF people want to grow racism this is how the media will do it. One wonders why they feel the need to do so.

I don’t see an cache control lines in the header section? They are easy to add to the header.php
Also I wonder what these do? The parler one has a plugin and pulls in a js library. What does that plugin do? I’d probably remove it.
There is also a commenting addon that probably is the visual interface we are used to. But unless there is a critical usability function in it its probably easy to go native wordpress or install Jetpack. Jetpack is the wordpress standard for being the swiss army knife. It only caused me issues when the plugin had a security lockup. But that was 10 years ago. If one changed that it would need to be tested on a copy of the blog first.
// WordPress Comment Toolbar plugin: Javascript functions
//
// Plugin release: 1.4.3
// Author: Cristiano Fino
// WebSite: http://www.cristianofino.net
Moving to jetpack and dropping parler moves the plugins all into the big basket of stuff that is well maintained. again it would have to be tested. Could break some kinks in the blog if altered.
@ darkwords:
Comment doesn’t show the links I added. my cut and paste wasn’t kosher.
@ darkwords:
Problems here are due to browsers using cache. We went through this months ago here. There is a line you can add to the .http thingy file that makes the server send a fresh page every time a user requests a page and so the browser ignores its cache.
No disrespect to anyone, but a very heavy traffic site benefits from a user getting most of a page content from cache if it is unchanged. Such as graphics.
The settings here tell the server nothing is new, so Mr/Mrs/Miss/They/Them/It use cache.
If you are on a PC hold down CTRL and hit the squirly arrow on the browser that refreshes a page. Holding down CTRL means ignore cache.
On a phone you got to just hit page refresh a few times with fingers crossed.

Illinois Democrat: Waukesha SUV Rampage Was ‘Karma’ for Rittenhouse Trial
Illinois Democrat Mary Lemanski called Sunday’s Christmas parade massacre “karma” on residents of Wisconsin for Friday’s “not guilty” verdicts in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.

The military had the plant to get into the rough country in the Northern Territory to access the Aboriginal settlements where Covid has raised its ugly head. The accommodation for Covid infected are motel type accommodation in Alice Springs. A LOT better m that what the Covid suffers had in their home communities.
The second conflated story was all about a purpose built isolation facility at Toowoomba SW of Brisbane Queensland. High tech but no electric fences as the hyperbolic reporter claimed. Totally the wrong place as it’s a 100 Km bus trip from Brisbane International airport. The airfield at Toowoomba is way too short to take jets.

The Judge is a woke joke. Parnell was unfit to parent because he was wearing blue jeans in court and traveled in his job.
CPS is involved here.
The court will defer to the mom if she is stable and can support herself. That is how its always been. Judges look to fit into that scenario and they have CPS look for excuses to toss out things that might not fit.

Me on gun laws and open carry in the USA.
Specifically long guns.
The laws would be easier to understand and enforce if there was some way to adapt the laws and rules we had in England when I was 14.
Now none of this applies anymore in England probably.
Age 14 I was legally allowed to posses an air rifle. Not quite the same as an American BB gun. Same principle though, coiled spring and piston propelling a lethal projectile via compressed air.
Had a .177 for target shooting, and a .22 for killing vermin. Why two rifles you may ask. Go on, ask…
OK the answer, a .177 has less drop for a given distance than a .22 at the same velocity. Less fucking with sights and compensating.
I very nearly lost my train of thought due to reminiscing about my past but. The point is.
The Kyle Rittenhouse trial. One of the charges that got dropped was possession of a long gun by him. It was deemed legal because of Wisconsin law as regards hunting.
Well my point is, if the USA adopted the type of gun laws that were in force in England in the early 1970’s there would be less confusion.
Specifically air rifle ( yep my air rifle ) could not be fired within a certain distance from a highway.
And get this… Any air rifle must be unloaded and carried in a case when within x feet from a highway. Can’t remember the distance but I know I had a flexible case that when not in use I wrapped around my waist.
So as a start, no long guns to be openly carried within city limits.
@ Possum Pureblood:
As a comment to that when I first moved to Texas I noticed that all drivers seemed to be very polite. No honking of horns if someone cut someone else off. assumed it was because you don’t know if the person you are honking at and flipping off has a gun.
Also they don’t know if you are armed.
That was seven years ago.
Now here it seems nobody gives a fuck. Shootings are sky rocketing in Houston.
And there is more!
From recent events it seems a long barreled weapon is sort of effective for self defence but a very poor choice.
I submit exhibit one. Kyle Rittenhouse. His first kill was when Rosenbaum grabbed the weapon, effectively pointing the weapon at Rosenbaum’s own body
Two shots fired at drop kick man and Kyle missed.
Skate board attacker grabbed gun and pointed it at his own heart. Not a smart thing to do.
The Gage person, well that was a very lucky shot Rittenhouse did.
Nope, close combat you need a handgun. .
Anyway, bed time for me. Work tomorrow.
Oh and some may ask why a 14 year old had a weapon and went hunting.
To shoot and kill sparrows to feed to my ferret called Sally who helped me to catch rabbits that we killed to feed me and my family.
And NO I do not play the banjo….
@ Possum Pureblood:
Of course, 17 year olds aren’t allowed to carry handguns. Hence the carbine-length AR-15.
For what he was doing, literally running around putting out fires and such, a pistol would have been a better choice. Had he been in a stationary position, guarding a building, a long gun is a better choice, simply because it’s visible. The real objective is to deter would-be looters, not necessarily to get into gunfights with them.
As for “close combat,” I doubt that he ever received any such training. If he had, he would have learned never to let an adversary get close enough to grab his weapon.

I saw what he was doing with the AR15 as what a wasp does with the yellow and black stripes. What an Amazonian tree frog does with the bright colours.
Basically stay away from me.
The fact that even when Rittenhouse displayed his wasp and tree frog warning others attacked him is their stupid fault.
@ Possum Pureblood:
i used to walk across the high school quad with a 30/30 to go deer hunting before school.
dropped the gun off at my buddy’s house before classes.
no big deal
@ Possum Pureblood:
i do not agree with what he did…just before he got assaulted, then

I saw his interview w/Tucker. He’s a good person, well beyond his years. As far as I can tell from his story, people he knew asked him for help.
That’s all well and good. Until it isn’t.
First of all, the owners of the commercial enterprises who asked for help are nowhere to be found.
Second – WHERE IS HIS FATHER
Third – by the time I was his age I probably had as much training as he did. I was on the rifle team at 15 and my dad made sure I was comfortable with firearms – loaned me his handguns for target practice and stuff.
There are ZERO adults in here except for the ‘rioters’. There are no ‘Korean rooftop’ people, there is nobody.
The cops aren’t doing anything – Kyle tried turning himself in, they pepper sprayed him and told him to get his ass home.
There is a lot of missing context here. His mom was asleep? Please.
It’s not that HE had no business being there – it’s that people whose job it was to be there – weren’t.
@ coldwarrior:
here in PA, everyone has a bunch of 12 gauges, a couple pistols, and then the deer rifles.
the deer rifles, well, a 30.06 with a sighted scope is far more dangerous than an ar15.
a .300 magnum is just silly, especially if it has a nice nikon scope sighted in at 500meters.

I went to high school in a semi-rural community, most of the kids that hunted had a gun rack in their truck. The gun racks usually held the weapons used for what ever hunting seasons that were open at the time. They were parked in the school parking lots, I doubt if many were even locked. I don’t recall a knife ever being pulled during a fight or a brawl between sports teams, much less anyone retrieving a weapon from a vehicle. There were a few students that snuck out for a nip, a smoke or a toke occasionally. Of course this was in the early to mid 70’s, before the insanity took hold.

The Shockwave is doable, but it takes practice (and a really solid grip with both hands). The .410 model probably isn’t that bad, and will still get the job done. You just get fewer pellets per shell (4 or 5 vs. 9 with a 12 gauge).

I actually enjoyed it a lot. Used to take free jumps in lieu of pay when I was operating as a drop pilot for Parachutes Australia.
When I came to military jumps, they were ultra professional and I never had any concerns. Except for the time when we needed to jump to get the course finished on time. REALLY crappy weather and we were forced lower and lower until we finally jumped at 400 feet in rain that felt like bullets. WE had been standing up for 30 minutes with full kit and we were all in agony as the aircraft bucked and rolled with the whole stick throwing their hearts up all over the deck. I was #2 in the door so it wasn’t that bad as I could see outside and get some ventilation from the open door and slipstream. I watched the SAS doctor on the ground standing right alongside his Range Rover holding a white megaphone to his mouth. Then the light went green and out we went. #1 landed on a fencepost and broke his ankle. I rushed the deployment of my pack and rifle and it hung on still attached to one leg. My chute opened and I swung just 3 times and hit the ground, fortunately on top of my pack and rifle and didn’t break my leg. There was no point in carrying reserves at 400 feet but we still wore them!
Nobody died so that was a positive. I used to volunteer as the ‘drifter’ for other military jump courses just so that I could get a few freebies. Drifters were used to see what the wind was doing and correct for the jump proper. You just jumped and didn’t try to steer and let the wind ‘do its thing’.
🙂
I really loved jumping !

A man wakes up in the hospital bandaged from head to foot.
The doctor comes in and says, “Ah, I see you’ve regained consciousness. Now, you probably won’t remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway. You’re going to be okay, you’ll walk again and everything, however, your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn’t find it.”…
The man groans, but the doctor goes on, “You have $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology to build a new penis. They work great but they don’t come cheap. It’s roughly $1000 an inch.”
The man perks up.
So, the doctor says, “You must decide how many inches you want. Now, you’ve been married for over thirty years and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five incher before and get a nine incher now she might be a bit put out. If you had a nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five incher now, she might be disappointed. It’s important that she plays a role in helping you make a decision.”
The man agrees to talk it over with his wife. The doctor comes back the next day, “So, have you spoken with your wife?”
“Yes I have,” says the man.
“And has she helped you make a decision?”
“Yes” says the man.
“What is your decision?” asks the doctor.
“We’re getting granite counter tops.”

And Watergate was a set up? Jeebus.
Shepard’s credibility is hard to challenge. He was an insider who turned on Nixon after hearing one of the most critical secret tape recordings in the Watergate case. In fact, he is credited with dubbing the tape the “smoking gun” because he believed it tied Nixon to the Watergate cover-up.
Only later did Shepard change his mind when he realized that Nixon was running through options in the scandal, not approving a hush payment in the case.
And more recently, he forced the release of the secret prosecutor’s “road map” used to convince a grand jury to indict key Watergate figures and egg on the impeachment inquiry that turned out to be a hoax, somewhat similar to the “dossier” used to spark the FBI investigation of former President Donald Trump.
“They knew it was a lie, and they made it up,” Shepard said.

A phantom image of my hand appears. Not a shadow; an indistinct color image. I’ve noticed it before so it’s not a brain glitch – the brain knows the hand is there and assumes that I must be able to see it (even when my eyes don’t) and it fills in the blank.

Gun charges have very serious jail time. For some reason I was close to law enforcement trumping up gun charges on people over the course of a decade.
The judges treat it like the Parnell child custody judge. They assume the worst and you have to prove to them you are innocent. They have a broad discretion to find a technical kink in your story and then slam the full weight of the charge on your head if they don’t like you.
If you are a felon and go to a party at house where someone has a gun in the house in any form. (It doesn’t even have to work.) And the police break up a fight and notice the gun and notice you are a felon then you get a 10 year jail sentence. It could be a beat up 22 with no shells anywhere. Doesn’t make a difference to the judge.
It’s different in every state. But it’s abused in every state.
death squads coming if the leaders and media can’t find a way to turn down the rhetoric.

When Maxine Waters advocates violence and POTUS Obama advocates getting in peoples faces. They are advocating violence to solve their political problems. Obama is the genesis of it all. The Woke/BLM stuff exists to tie the hands of the middle class so they don’t complain when they are being murdered by the mob.
The GOP is not smart enough to counter this. They try and go for a long term legislation process. The have to flag Obama harder as the culprit. Then go after anyone that disagrees with that.

The scams on twitter crypto are a tsunami. I made a twitter account to just do crypto and resist my urge to head hunt on politics.
But apparently I am the twitter crypto prey. Constant friend requests from Elon Musk to help him spend his billions. Crypto makes money transfer contracts irreversible. I’d guess over 50 percent of twitter crypto is just people trying to con other people.
Crypto is sold as de centralized secure financial freedom from banks and fiat.
There is a seamy side though. They have a construct called gas fees which is like an ATM fee for trading money through a computer. On ETH that gas fee can be a 50 percent fee sometimes depending on the time of day.
A crypto trade is usually exchange fee, wallet fee, miner fee, gas fee to move from one coin to another. 5 percent plus 2 percent plus 1 percent plus a variable percent. So if you spend $100 you’ll get a 8-25 percent loss of funds. This forces a person to stay on one exchange like Coinbase or cyrpto.com unless you have a lot of money.
The best investment strategy then is to have a Coinbase account and just buy BTC and hold it. 1 percent of a risk portfolio as an inflation hedge. Coinbase insures small accounts and holds them securely. You’ll have $100 one day and $40 the next and $250 a week later then back to $80 but at year end you should have $150 at what is called the resistance floor.
The risk is like what happened with 2013 coins. 99 percent of them failed and disappeared. BTC and LTC survived. But with all the big banks now into BTC it will become a worldwide currency supplement. It’s volatile and high risk but should even out.
people talk about the PTSD Rittenhouse got from shooting people. IMO the PTSD from a lying national media and a lying POTUS are worse. They introduce an unknown threat laden with anxiety. Which is the reason he should sue their pants off. Let them put them back on and then sue them again.
I got PTSD before its birth as a popular victim phrase.
Shot a sparrow at age 10 and was dismayed at its death struggles.
Caught numerous fish and hated to see them gasping for air.
Wrung a lot of chicken necks while they complained about imminent dinner.
What you realize is that those things have to be done to survive. And continue to do them with a better idea in mind.
Shooting shotguns and rifles as a pre teen never bothered me in the slightest. I think I started around age 5 with a .22 and my old man giving me strict safety lessons. He was a person you didn’t want to fuck around and find out with.
A gun society that knows gun safety well is a mature society that can survive most problems.
In regards to the Waukesha killer. And his rap sheet. I can guarantee most of his charges were pleaded down. And he is a worse person than his rap sheet details.

Yep. Imagine knowing you are innocent while others push hard to change the definition… and in many ways succeed. Once his adrenaline rush is done, he’s going to have a brand new set of problems to deal with.

Good therapy will require 200 million from CNN. Maybe one therapist per liar.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
Interesting art form. the speaker did a good job of projecting emotions.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
If I could have gotten it i would have taken that Joe Rogan kitchen sink treatment.
@ lobo91:
A meth head actually becomes evil once the drug violates their nervous system enough. The people who take it are destroyed. No clearer case for a death penalty for drug dealers. A little meth is too much meth.
@ darkwords:
I’ve dealt with it several times. IF your neighbor is up late, lot of visitors, then property theft will go up. Best to have a dog to scare them off.
Incarceration in a meth/fentanyl in patient facility for at least two years is the minimum needed to help them. $500k is the cost of that.

Ken Nordine was awesome. Besides the classic Word Jazz albums of the 1950s, he did others; some were interactive. He also did a lot of voiceover commercials in the 70s and 80s.

There was a lab experiment that tested addiction levels. Rats could get a “hit” if they pressed a lever, but then the machine would require them to press it more than once to get another hit.
Rats would press the lever up to 60 times or so get a bit of heroin before they’d quit. With meth, they never gave up.
More “historic” diversity hires! Yay!

To be fair (and kind), you can’t expect him to hire people who are smarter than he is, after all. Don’t wanna make the Resident look like an idiot

Funny…just yesterday, Psaki claimed that a turkey costs maybe $1 more this year than last year.
Had a CT scan yesterday, got the results, and I’m happy. 😀

Yup
Rittenhouse supports BLM for crying out aloud. Part of the BLM manifesto calls directly for the destruction of the concept of a human family. That right there is more than enough to cause rational people to condemn BLM as the murderous arsewipes that they are.
I’m guessing that the majority of rational types have never made time to actually read the BLM manifesto, just as 90% of Germans never made time to read Hitler’s Mein Kampht

Possession of more than 1 and ½ ounce of marijuana, up to 10 pounds of marijuana, is punishable as a Class I felony. Possessing any amount over 10 pounds can lead to trafficking charges and serious jail time. Any significant amount of marijuana, even if it is significantly less than 10 pounds, is likely to carry some type of sale or deliver charges as well.
One of the felony charges on the Waukesha racist.
I checked my stash and I bought 51 Grams of edibles a few months ago. About $40. 1.8 ounces. I am a felon if I travel with my pot off of the left coast. If I stop at a ranchers house to get some beef jerky and he has a gun in the house then I get a tackon 10 year federal prison sentence. Depending on how technical the judicial system wants to get and how much of a dick I am in court.
If I’m traveling with someone with a bad military discharge they get the same just for sitting in the car with me. Also depends on the state.
@ lobo91:
The disconnected bureaucratic bad. The officer wasn’t under any type of threat. Seems poorly trained.
The pharmacy? well I hope they go out of business.
Could be a new job class. Drone security.

If you chew the fat on that one we’ll only be able to afford the sizzle.

I was wondering why the blog is so slow and WTF my security app was trying to load a large advertising video in the background. I was whacking the blogmocracy display with my hammer when the vid finally popped up.
have to go see now how to shut that down.
@ right_wing2:
Interesting how all the pundits want to troll Thanksgiving this year in the same manner. We are under assault.
@ lobo91:
Bastards.
Last week’s ‘Love at First Insight’ launch from Rocket Labs of the first couple of Black Sky satellites for commercialized ‘snooping’

It happened to me years ago. Mr. Possum advised me to download and run the free Kaspersky Rootkit Killer. Fixed the problem that my antivirus program couldn’t. Then I bought Malware Bytes.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
Those were the days before Mr Possum gets ready for work, puts on his socks, starts to put on his shoes then thinks ” maybe I should put my pants on first ”
Cats are noticing a difference. They come running at me yelling the ” FEED US! ” yell and I yell back ” I JUST FED YOU! ”
Cats politely point out that was yesterday…
@ Possum Pureblood:
Oh, and while we are on the subject of food and eating another good one lately is the I should really eat supper, but I am not hungry.
Go into the kitchen to find an empty plate in the sink…..
No clue what I ate.
