Friday Ephemera
A situation had arisen. || Can you guess ten seconds? (h/t, Things) || The concept of sideways. || Smooth operator. || Temptation. || Patient dogs. || The joys of public transport, part 4,865. || The progressive retail experience, part 434. || They hunt in packs. || I’ll tell you when to stop. || Ladies, is this true? || Gummi bear lovers, look away now. || The collected kitsch of Siegfried and Roy. || At last, a chocolate giraffe. || The sex robots are coming. || “Distinct transitioning odours.” || Sandwich filling. || Three hours of Norwegian snowfall. || Tight dress, big breasts. || It’s a job. || Social gaffe detected. || If you could dance on the Moon. || And finally, please write down and memorise her fashionable complications.

Maybe Effete Hat Guy thinks that such stuff-taking scenarios shouldn’t be a thing. Maybe he thinks that countries and borders somehow shouldn’t exist, and that people shouldn’t identify with where they live.
Hilaire Belloc comes to mind:
“Pale Ebenezer thought it wrong to fight,
But Roaring Bill (who killed him) thought it right.”
You can always spot them by the crazy eyes.
If I were to emigrate to South Korea, for instance, and immediately began insulting the home and character of my new neighbours, calling them names, and recoiling in loud horror from any sense of national identity or cultural common ground, I might expect my churlishness and ingratitude to have consequences. Say, the locals expediting my departure.
That.
One solution, he suggests, is for LGBTQ+ people of colour to create their own spaces to exist comfortably as their full selves – but progress can’t stop there.
Can anyone think of any potentially accommodating countries, other than those populated by hideously repressive wypipo? It’s a puzzler.
P.s. I heard a voice suggesting Wakanda. Can anyone who has sat through said film enlighten me on how their indigenous black alphabetties are getting along?
Effete hat guy…
I read this morning on Quillette an article about turmoil and the (re-)rise of authoritarian governments in southeast Asia and other places.
Reflected a bit on the frequency of armed conflict and social breakdown in Europe and US.
Read get another article about how gun owners’ fantasies about defense against riots and tyranny are just fantasies.
“Si vis pacem, para bellum”. Some human things never go out of style.

…or by the description “HR Professional” in their profiles.
Why is it so often the professors.

But trans-ideology isn’t grooming or anything, bigot.
I’m missing something here. This “Good Shepherd” organization that Crazy Eyes worked for, shortly at one time or so they say, is that a specifically Christian organization? A volunteer type thing? Don’t get why she thinks she has that much HR pull.
Yet another thing I tried to warn people about 20 years ago that made the crickets chirp. It apparently was beyond comprehension that HR departments were becoming ridiculously powerful and gaining steam/power via diversity initiatives. And when it wasn’t the crickets, it was “Oh, don’t take them seriously. You need to laugh about it.”
But trans-ideology isn’t grooming or anything, bigot.
I guess my brain just isn’t big enough to understand that.

Not raping children, so far, but really, really wanting to, is praiseworthy, you see.
Somewhat related.
Don’t get why she thinks she has that much HR pull.
She’s also Vice President/Communications Director – HRPA Halton Chapter which I imagine she sees as a seat of power in the HR cabal.
Her employment history shows a long string of two years or less job positions. Doesn’t take long to weed out the crazy–even in HR. Probably why she landed at a non-profit Christian Ministry specializing in homeless shelters. Plus two years of not having to work in an office has probably enabled her to extend her current employment. She lives in my former stomping ground. Looks like I got out just in time.

See latest post. Thanks, pst314.
Comments that-a-way.

Gotta think that the video is great advertising for the camera manufacturer.
Ok folks, confession time. I have applied to and been accepted by the Ukrainian foreign legion. I’m trying to work out the contract and funding my travel. There’s family history involved that compels me to do this. I understand the many arguments against it and I know Ukraine is corrupt but I can’t let the people be under Russian control again without trying to help. I will update the management if things progress.
Well, I hope that with a handle like CavScoutCoastie you have already undergone thorough military training.
When Saddam invaded Kuwait, we threw him out not because Kuwait was lily-pure, but because the consequences of a Iraqi takeover were much worse than the alternative. And Ukraine is no Kuwait, yes?
‘See Laurie Penny,’ crikey, must we? I suppose, if we must, as long as she keeps her cakehole closed, merely seeing the little goblin would be bearable. Otherwise, the paroxysms of laughter produced in reaction to her virtue signaling and false assertions might drive one of one’s drink.
God bless CavScoutCoastie, and keep your eyes open for “leaders” who have never been shot at in anger. Even in situations like Ukraine, as much combat experience as that entails, they’re out there and many don’t let on.
Thanks everybody. As pst guessed, I’ve been there before although not like this. Just doing what my conscience says. I believe I can help Ukraine with my background and they seem to agree. Hopefully I can get there and help.
Be careful over there.

I am reading confused and contradictory reports about Russian artillery: Their traditional tactic is area bombardment by massed gun tubes firing huge numbers of non-precision shells/rockets. But I am also reading claims that the Russians may be starting to exhaust their stockpiles and that their logistics system is inherently unable to supply an invading army.
So be very careful.
