He Was Seeing His Other, Secret Family

He said you call people to help you move, 5 show up but if you ask a redneck, only one comes because that’s all you need. He goes on about rednecks are never “just hanging around” because they are always busy, have tools in their truck. It was hilarious because you thought he was going to dis them, and it is the opposite.
Josh Pray? He’s great. But I can only take him in doses. One out of every five or ten of his videos. Seems like a genuine good guy anyway.

If you read the linked article, you’ll see that her primary source only covers patents issued through 1899… so *of course* the line crashes in 1900.

…the drop off in black patents per million is noteworthy.
Not if you note there are two different scales on two Y axes…

(I’m reposting … posted first in wrong thread. Oops.)
Responded on the other thread. I’m too lazy to move over all the links.

the propaganda arm of the Liberals
When I was a very young child, “liberal” was an honorable label. Nowadays I wouldn’t cross the street to piss on a liberal who was on fire.

Not if you note there are two different scales on two Y axes…
Well didn’t I effectively say that? “While the author is being deceptive with the comparison of black with white” [ then what you quoted ] “Just not in context of whites nor parity with whites.”

Uh oh … this is just getting uglier by the hour.

Did I say “by the hour”? Looks like Berlin before the wall came down in 1989.

It has already been nicknamed Checkpoint Trudeau.
“The secured area includes almost 100 checkpoints that will have police presence to ensure that those seeking entry to that secure area for a unlawful reason, such as joining a protest, cannot enter the downtown core,” acting Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell said Thursday.
Canada’s capital, operating under the Emergencies Act, now has ‘no go zones” similar to a police state. Authorities set up checkpoints with armed police officers in downtown Ottawa on Thursday — from Highway 417 (Queensway) to Parliament Hill, where dozens of trucks have been parked for three weeks.
To get through the Berlin Wall under communism, people had to go through entry points known as Checkpoint Alpha, Checkpoint Bravo and, of course, Checkpoint Charlie. Now to get into through Ottawa’s police manned border points, people must produce papers to prove they live in the area or have a reason to be there.

Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland:
Another site, with reference to her fondness for squeezing into dresses at least 2 sizes too small, took to naming her Princess Sausage Bitch. Justin was Prince Sparkle Socks.

For the past two years we have all seen the authoritarian batshit craziness in Oz exemplified by the uber-zealous Victoria police. Now the Canucks seem to be trying to top that.
When the Commonwealth is quietly disbanded once HRH passes away it won’t be a moment too soon. Too bad the UN won’t suffer the same fate.

the drop off in black patents per million is noteworthy
Is it though?
In 1900 the U.S. population was around 80 million. The proportion of blacks in 1900 was around 10%.
So the 1900 fall from 0.6 to 0.13 patents per million blacks represents a drop from 5 total patents to 1 patent in what looks like a year.
Hardly noteworthy. Even before you add in her deliberate (or incompetent) mis-representation of the data.

A Microsoft Windows update.
Bwah! Ha! Ha!

In terms of scale, it’s not unlike if, say, a fifth of the population suddenly said it was gay. You might think something odd were happening.
But they’re not gay. They’re LGBTQ+.
I have a compassion for what I guess are now “old school” gays or maybe the term now is cis-gay – in short, biological men who are attracted to other biological men and biological women who are attracted to other biological women. Being old enough to remember Stonewall (yes, I was naught a child but I had parents who used the dinner table in the Bronx to discuss current affairs), it seems what was the gay community has been usurped by the “TQ+” of the above acronym. I have heard women voice a fear of the death of lesbians since should a girl express no interest in “girly things,” why, clearly she is in the wrong body and must be encouraged to transition to identify as a male – because, otherwise . . . shut up, TERF.
David, are you finding it harder to recruit hench lesbians?

We grow our own.
Locally sourced, excellent.

Is it though?
OK, another slight deception. I didn’t see those decimal points and thought the scale on the right was 2, 4, 6, 8… I was taught that when presenting scientific data you ALWAYS precede the decimal point with a zero to prevent this very sort of confusion. Was I miseducated? That definitely makes it a lesser point but still odd that the variation drops off decisively and stays there. Plus given the misrepresentation of the data, it would not surprise me that the data itself was massaged.

Bwah! Ha! Ha! [ Nonchalantly licks his Minty Linux installation ]
How sharper than a serpent’s tooth…

Answer: Shut up, TERF.
TERF is one of those expressions that serve as useful clues: When a self-described libertarian implies that I am a TERF, I know that his libertarianism is a mere pose and that he secretly loves tyranny.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess Adidas’ ad agency has no clue about Russia.

‘The notion of “freedom” was historically and remains intertwined with Whiteness’.
Nice of them to acknowledge it. Of course they could have added rights, liberty, industry, writing, the abolition of slavery, turning up on time and inventing the wheel, but baby steps. Baby steps.
“Indigenous Latino”. Isn’t that a Spaniard?

Today In Racism™ Holiday Special, …Thomas is a “Black justice whose rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives.”

I am going to go out on a limb and guess Adidas’ ad agency has no clue about Russia.
I can’t imagine why Russians get the idea in their heads that the Western tradition of beauty and order is being systematically degraded, that they can recognize a propaganda campaign when it’s targeted at them, and that they have a right to name and counter what’s going on.

Adidas ad: used to be that ads were aspirational. You bought stuff because it might make you feel better, prettier, higher status or to have fun. Now it is all propaganda all the time. At Target in the US the big pics in the women’s dept are now chunky and not pretty women. Ok, more “fair” but is one supposed to aspire to being chunky?

but is one supposed to aspire to being chunky?
It’s become the default… size. OTOH, “dieting” is now considered “work”, as in “I’m working on a diet” (actually heard a female relative utter that phrase. I lol’d), as if NOT stuffing one’s maw takes more effort…
As to the Russian thingy – I’m reminded of the old tale about the Havaaad trained spy, fluent in all Russian dialects, able to converse on all day to day matters, only to be discovered as a US spy – ’cause he was black.
Heh.

The extreme over-reaction in Ottawa
It’s quite frightening to see the government of Canada acting to bankrupt fifty thousand people and their families, and render them homeless and starving, by “debanking” them because of an act (donating to a fund for a truly peaceful protest) which was entirely legal when performed.

Huh?
