Friday Ephemera (678)
Not ideal, really. || Niche dissonance detected. || Incoming. || Incoming 2. || Oh no, not the inevitable, again. || Shadow lag. || How to repel women, part 2. Previously. || Some pleasing trash removal. || Sexual display. || The progressive retail experience, parts 475, 476, 477, 478, and 479. || Quick test, no prep, no phoning a friend. || Leo lives in Portland. || On those vertical lines seen in nuclear explosion test footage. || Three of these are wrong, clearly. || Clackety-clack. || How to clean windows. || “Walking into random houses” for shits and giggles. What could possibly go wrong? And what has already gone wrong? || Today’s word is gaming. || Today’s other word is shenis. || She was affirmed. || And finally, further to this, another thread of adventures in UI design.
Should you be tempted, you can follow me on Twitter.
For those who get impatient with plodding videos.
Dindu savages need to be taught to fear ordinary citizens.
“It better be water, or you’re one dead son of a batch”: Dindu internet “pranksters” working hard to get shot (which would only be justice.)
Oh no, not the inevitable, again

This huge change will strike a telling blow against racism.
She got in, how the hell long was she sitting there eating?
Live-streamer harasses people on a Japanese train.
A dindu live-streamer.
Social media scumbags come in all colors, but blacks seem to account for more than their demographic share. And Somalia is full of savages who should not be allowed in civilized countries. I hope the Japanese police have a way to make him deeply regret his choices.
Live-streamer harasses people on a Japanese train.
I suppose it did bear repeating…
Another culturally enriched moment in New York: A 35yo man was attacked and called “cracker” by three black teens–they beat him and kicked him in the head while yelling anti-white racial slurs. One 14-year-old has been arrested. 14. I have read of 12- and 10-year old black boys arrested for carjackings and shootings.
Sorry. I must have clicked the link and not read it until later at which time I’d forgotten how I found it,. It’s been a very very busy day.
Not sure if anyone has linked to these dindu savages.
How “underserved communities” become underserved.
A clue how yet another “underserved community” became underserved.
Could be?
“Gender affirming” piercings of note.
Well look at that. Has Pastis found his balls again? Or has he done tge requisite number of Trump and Trumpsters and right-wing nut jobs are all big dumb, dumb dummies strips that he feels safe sneaking in a little real biting political humor? Of course he’s not a political humorist. Of course not. But bully for him for at least making the effort.
Surely that would be what one would expect to happen.
“Some pleasing trash removal.“
The most pleasing thing is the way he piles them on top of each other as if they were rubbish sacks.
And perhaps they are…
Watched it three times… still not sure.
I pretty much understood the bloke, but then he didn’t get to say much.
(The “skills” I have in this come from watching Still Game)
I dunno the answer to this, my not at all smart Nokia flip phone goes in the left breast pocket of the work shirt.
Morning, all.
Bit radical. For those who use their trouser pockets, anything but option two is terribly, terribly wrong.
Thanks, for the link and also the confirmation that I am not alone in thinking videos are often a hellishly inefficient way to impart info.
I once had dinner with Beloved Sister-In-Law #3 and her boyfriend, who, like a savage, kept keys and coins in the same pocket as his phone. He looked over at my phone, two years old, and, with genuine puzzlement, asked why it looked brand new, not scuffed to buggery like his.
It was an actual peer-over-the-spectacles moment.
In my culture we have the egg & spoon, three legged, and sack race.
That’s so sad.
Well, it’s a mentally ill young woman who felt it was a “no brainer” to have her nipples surgically removed, because the idea of nipples bothered her, and who had this fixation affirmed, and who now spends her free time showing her mutilated chest to random strangers on the internet. Because it’s all such fun, you see.
Perhaps not an ideal place to be.
I have questions.
A promising applicant.
Also, Barry Tomorrow.
Hi, I’m Troy McClure. You may remember me from such educational videos as 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘯𝘶𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦?
[ Considers changing name to Barry Tomorrow. ]
Band name.
I put my between my butt cheeks. oddly no one tries to steal it.
I have questions.
Holy crap. That could’ve been a lot worse.
LOLed at ‘unsubscribe’.
I also quite like the idea of using a fan to move the cursor.
Slightly O/T but as rubbish anarchists seem to be in vogue I wondered if anyone else had read G K Chesterton’s excellent novel “The Man who was Thursday” which covered this subject albeit in a distinctly metaphysical fashion.
A decade or two ago there was a charitable effort to collect slightly obsolete laptops and send them to deepest darkest Africa for the benefit of the locals.
This let to inconvenient footage of young men breaking apart said laptops in order to access, remove and resell a few pence worth of copper wiring and circuitry.
I think you’re supposed to punch them in the face, just once, but quite hard.
He cuts his own bangs.
The internet does seem to facilitate all sorts of “non optimal” behaviors.
If the video bears some resemblance to an elaborate, socially sanctioned form of self-harm, maybe hold that thought.
I think other members of the public should have gotten out of their cars and busses and helped that poor man. Punching is not (quite) yet necessary.
It’s become an excellent Early Warning Device (or DEW Line, for us ol’folks)
The internet doesn’t make people stupid. People make people stupid. The schools, the arts, the movies, the novels, the video games, the universities, and the bloody individuals themselves. And closing down the insane asylums, as insane as that was, is only a small part of the problem. It’s the people who decided to close them down that are what really needs fixed.
“Cleopatra was culturally black,” apparently.
I didn’t say the internet makes people stupid. I said that it facilitates bad behavior. Disturbed people get lost in niche communities of other disturbed people who encourage dysfunction and discourage sanity. Evil people make money live-streaming evil behavior and get online attention including praise.
intentionally so.
discussed at length here.
This “We was kangs an sheet” obsession is very revealing. So many toxic dysfunctions.
Seems perfectly clear to me. What’s the problem? When he slept wi’ someone else he telt her. Bit noo he’s gonnie say, when he has the baws tae admit it, it wiz jist wan or two lassies. An’ in a couple o’ days, when he’s no oan ra telly, he’s gonnie come greetin’ tae her. He’s a scumbag. Bit he disnae wannie talk tae her.
(Honestly, I do struggle to understand some of my compatriots, and I didn’t catch all of it. But that’s actually pretty mild. I’ve heard much worse.)
And it could be even worse.
The bloke who cleaned our windows when I was a kid used to do that. But we were on the first floor (that’s the second to you colonials) with 18-inch windowsills. Still freaked me out, though.
