Tales From The Far Side (2)
Further to recent rumblings in the comments, a tale about the perils of noticing things:
She describes the emails as “rather polite” and “relatively kind.” Her daughter had been a Girl Guide, and she herself had done some volunteering with the organisation. “I thought it was a really uncontroversial, uncontentious email,” she says. It expressed her view that “this person should not be in charge of young people.” (The Critic has seen the email and can confirm her description of it. It does, however, refer to Sulley as a “male”…)
And that’s when a police officer appeared on her doorstep.
Also, open thread.
Hate crimes: burning a cross on black folks lawn–yes, designed to terrify them. Objecting to a weirdo supervising little girls: not in any sense the same. Ironically, in UK you can get in trouble photographing crowds if children are in the crowds, but apparently not for being in charge of those same children.
Truck convoy: notice how terrified the gov and media are. The prime minister left town–for safety? What, afraid he would get run over? Equating a peaceful convoy to insurrection: why does this sound familiar?
Open thread/other topic…
Wife and I saw where friends, actually my friends’ parents, had volunteered at the local Arnold Palmer Invitational in the past (before the Damnpanic). A former co-worker did as well maybe 20 years ago, and we thought that once I’m not working anymore we would give something like that a try, thinking it might be like when we were extras in a movie years ago. Last year was too much of a mess but this year, after getting Christmas and niece’s wedding out of the way, I thought I’d at least make a first stab at it. As I relate this, be aware that I was highly suspicious that something like this would come up…just not this extreme.
So last night we each send the on-line application off (no place on the form to put two names together) and get auto replies saying someone would contact us. Well early this morning, my wife (she chose a wider more miscellaneous category to volunteer for, I picked “cool” ones) got a reply from the committee that organizes “Gallery control”. This consists of basically holding up “Quiet” cards, spotting errant balls in the gallery, etc. We gave a wide open option, volunteering for every day, both AM & PM but there was no specifics on the reply to her. So she replied back what the specific hours might be (need to feed dog before and after) and, since this job would be outside, would masks be required. After sending that email, she noticed there was some computer generated line about how much she had paid. I had kinda ignored it thinking some dumb GUI guy screwed up his WTFWCTN forms. She digs around further and discovers (not totally to my surprise) that you have to PAY $110/pp to volunteer for this work. Working all day, in the (granted winter but still could easily be in the high 80’s one day) Florida sun for free. You see you need to pay for your t-shirts, hats, etc. Then I find out (this time to my surprise) that you don’t even get lunch out of the deal. You’re expected to bring your own. It is, of course, for the children you understand. Hell, tickets are only $50 – $100 at the low end. Granted that’s each day. But still, do what you want and no stress. The purse for this thing is around $10 million. There’s sponsors galore, food and trinket sales, yadda-yadda-yadda. But not even a free lunch for the help. Granted though, if they can pull the ultimate Tom Sawyer con, sit in their air-conditioned comfort sipping champaign, eating caviar, hob-knobbing with top athletes, well I’m tempted to say “more power to ’em” but it seems these people have a little bit too much power. Yet people, people I know, stupid people, are willing to be suckers. Though here it is the end of January, the tournament starts end of February (my past recollection was it was a mid-March thing), and they’re hot on an email from my wife and I at the last minute.
Pity. I was looking forward to possibly having to toss some lout for being a lout. Still not worth the $110 privilege.
The prime minister left town–for safety? What, afraid he would get run over?
Somebody reaaally needs to start the rumor that he has left the country. Make him appear somewhere public to prove he’s still in power. Force them to make moves. Maybe they screw up, maybe they don’t. The right is so bloody weak and clueless.
Where else can a white man get this much boot licking power in today’s western world?
By being president/prime minister/CEO.

Left the country for Miami…
Left the country for Miami…
Heh….the one joke rumor I did see was that a Canadian Air Force plane had landed in Berlin and he was supposedly on it. Though now that you say Miami…I’m thinking Havana would make a really juicy rumor.
I believe this is called trend-chasing.
Uh oh, media outlet actually practicing journalism.
Let the denunciations commence.
I don’t think there is a plan
Yuri Bezhmenov would disagree. There’s a plan. It’s no longer centrally coordinated, but there’s a plan.
the white man’s way of getting their own back from the feminazis
I strongly suspect that this is exactly “Lia” Thompson’s agenda. He’s not even taking hormones. It’s like that fellow in Calgary who legally changed his gender identity on his driver’s license – and nowhere else – to save 30% on his car insurance.

I’ve already seen allegations from “alternative” media on Twitter that he was evacuated to the US.

But how will he get free healthcare when a racist gun nut shoots free speech at him?

Further to that, in his case and the other male athletes claiming to be women, including those high school boy track runners – I think they also want to win, and they know or fear that they can’t hack it against other males. The woke left has given them the perfect set-up to keep winning, get accolades and money, just because they claim to be female, and viola – easier opponents.
I’ve also wondered about CEOs and board members of big companies – companies get pilloried all the time for not having enough women in high paying, high power positions. Why don’t the male CEOS and such follow the example of the athletes and just claim to be women, get that nice round 50% at the top that the feminists claim should be, and be done with it. They don’t even have to take hormones or even try to pretend – just announce some pronouns and Robert is your father’s brother – lotsa women CEOs. But they don’t.
I reckon Justin Trudeau would be just the sort of pompous bloke/wanker to utter the immortal words reported to have been used by a famous French woman of superior rank: “Let them eat cake”, though another quote also comes to mind: “L’État, c’est moi” might also fit nicely.
The email as hate crime. How does this end? Not gently, I think.

When she is out and about time, does she lift her leg to mark territory?
Furries and “otherkin” and the “smart” people who defend them: It’s nice to no longer have much direct contact with such loons and liars.
Happy New Year of the Tiger
he was evacuated to the US
Whilst evacuating into his pants
What kind of leader leaves town because there is a convoy protesting? The kind of douche who wants to make them look dangerous.
Weirdest remake of The Road Warrior ever.

I would like to know if “Lia” Thompson is getting any scholarships or any financial compensation for his athletics.
The reason I think it’s perhaps deeper than just gaming the system is that there’s now reports that he swings his junk around in front of the girls in the changerooms, knowing it makes them uncomfortable; and he lost to a female dysphoric from another team who had only had a double mastectomy and was not yet taking hormones. That’s just not believable unless he threw the match.

Anyone want to bet on what’s going to happen when no-one catcalls them..?
If you believe the internet, Castreau is in B.C.
Wolfie was never going to be called a fox.
Or a woman for that matter.
That’s just not believable unless he threw the match.
I think he did. That UPenn coach feels like the type to say, “Okay, ya gotta lose one just so no one get suspicious.” The problem with that strategy is that he runs the risk of Thomas bragging that he could have won it but let the other guy win.
Instead, it seems possible, even likely, that those involved in the choosing did so with a certain delight in their own perversity.
Yes. I was picturing woke wine moms instantly choosing the path of maximum piety points, but deliberate malevolence does seem more likely.

Hmm. I was thinking more that if he throws a match to another erstwhile dysmorphic it makes it harder to claim he has an insurmountable physical advantage. But getting orders from above is also likely.
The girls can put an end to this in a heartbeat by walking away from the swim team and refusing to compete until this madness goes away. With all that new free time they could try studying.
… if he throws a match to another erstwhile dysmorphic it makes it harder to claim he has an insurmountable physical advantage.
That.

The hustle within the hustle. The thing is, it’s pretty obvious to his teammates who workout with him every day, if not to opposing swimmers and coaches, that he’s tanking the race. They need to nip this in the bud…probably already too late…and refuse to participate in the farce. He can’t seriously tank a race against nobody. Yes, he can slow himself down if he swims alone, and over a short distance swimmers actually (used to) do something like that in training, but over a 500 yard race it would seem a bit harder to get the “right” time. Not that he couldn’t train for that but that would be even more obvious to the teammates. But then again, what’s more obvious than a chick with a dick in a tight swimming suit. It’s all a bad hustle and they’re/we’re all fools for putting up with it.

According to 4chan he’s in Quebec, province not city, someone posted the GPS coordinates and listing of the rental house he’s in. They’re quite frightening in their own autistic way, I certainly hope I never do anything to tick them off.

Pretty much. (SFW, if not your blood pressure).
