The Other Majority Of The Time
No, don’t run away. She wants to tell you about herself:
These people are becoming gender-soup. 💀

And remember, competitive complication is the name of the game.
Also open thread. Share ye links and bicker.

MAKE IT STOP
Are you not inexhaustibly fascinated by her complications?
She’s “a weird amalgamation of genders and vibes,” you know.
And “sparkles,” obviously.
..
I WANT TO BE MORE INTERESTING THAN I AM.
I paraphrase, of course.
You don’t hear the phrase “It’s a cry for help” so often these days.
Ironically.
What’s the betting a video such as this would be scrutinised by the new Ofcom team set to enforce the new Online Safety Act 2023?
Diversity!
*manic phase has entered the chat*
Her gender is fat and tedious.
A fake.
No infected nose ring. And out of nowehere they reverts to ‘binary.’ You cannot be half a woman even by way of fantasy.
[ Feels strong urge to send nailbrush, soap. ]
Having watched this (I know, no refunds – credit notes only) the following has occurred to me:
Also, apologies for being OT but has everyone seen the story from NYC about tunnels under a synagogue? 2024 is starting strong in the weirdness stakes. Buckle up folks, I think it’s going to be a rough one.
And the solution to being tedious is to make every goddamn conversation about yourself and how complicated and fascinating you are. Obviously.
Heh. I’ve been busy, but I caught a bewildering glimpse. For a second, I thought it was a comedy sketch.
Is scrofulous a gender?
Elementary my Dear Watson.
What’s the betting she’s answering a question no one asked…?
Yes I have. Articles in various American and Israeli newspapers. The initial reports said that the tunnel was the work of a small but militant group of dissident students and that the leaders of the synagogue welcomed police assistance in stopping them. I’m waiting for the details to become more clear in subsequent reports.
I’m really tired of weirdness, and like Rincewind long for dullness.
I have long used “that’s interesting” as a euphemism for “that’s stupid/insane”.
Not unrelated…
Aye, a bonnie lassie.
Of course the article uses “she/her” BS throughout.
“Well isn’t that special.”

The complications above reminded me of the way in which some insecure teenage girls feel a need to point out how “weird” they are – meaning how weird they think they ought to seem – while not being particularly weird at all.
Yes. As much as semiautomatic weapons.
Make it stop yourself. You have just as much power to correct these people/problems as they have in creating them. For now anyway. Though there have been attempts to take away your power. Especially in the UK and Canada. There’s still hope for the US and maybe some other countries in the West.
Wanting to be interesting: the problem they face is that actually being interesting takes a lot of work. Like my friend, a christian, who escaped Iraq on the back of a motorcycle while being shot at and then became a dentist here in US. THAT is interesting. Being a good conversationalist is hard work and requires you to attend to what the other person is interested in so you don’t bore them–much too hard for a narcissist. Reading interesting books so you have something to say–too much work. Having a really cool hobby like glass-blowing or hosting rescue dogs—yep, too much work.
And this is why we don’t do drugs.
Don’t see how tubercular lymph nodes could be a gender but there’s likely some useless academic twit working on it.
And potatoes.
Don’t forget potatoes.
I live in that neighborhood, so I can supply a little more detail.
There has indeed been an ongoing issue for years with that small group acting as if they own the place; there have been several altercations in the past. Dealing with it is made more difficult by the fact that “770” is both a synagogue and a yeshiva, and as such is open to the public (i.e., the powers that be can’t simply say that you can’t enter without a student ID or similar). There has also been an ongoing lawsuit for years about the ownership and management of the property, and of course that doesn’t help any either.
As I understand it, then, boys from this group dug the original tunnel during the Covid shutdowns, and used it to sneak into the synagogue to pray and study. (In Chabad thought, “770” is seen as almost a miniature of the Temple in Jerusalem, so one assumes that they figured they have to get in, come what may.)
Since then they’ve dug it out further (partially undermining the building structurally, which is how it was discovered), with the claim that the synagogue is too small and needs to be expanded (there has indeed been talk for years about enlarging it), and indeed some of these boys apparently have been using the tunnels as a combination study hall/dormitory. (Naturally, too, anti-Semites have been having a field day with all kinds of lurid claims about what’s been going on there…)
What boiled over, and brought in the police, was when those in charge brought in cement trucks to fill in the tunnels, and some of these “dissidents” tried to physically prevent that, tearing down parts of the walls in the process.
People have been comparing this to Oct. 7, and while I wouldn’t go that far, I – and lots of others – are hoping that at least it has the same galvanizing effect on the yeshiva administration and the other bigwigs, to get them to remove this group and to restore discipline.

Indeed. I’ve seen some such wild claims in comment threads on various sites, including Instapundit which has its share of Jew-haters and white supremacists in addition to leftist trolls.
How to be non-binary:
By all means, cut out and keep for later reference. Because, God knows, the odds are pretty good that it will crop up.
For those who missed it, somewhat related:
Because the scolding must never end. The scolding being the point.
Nah, bro. All those things on the right that other people have to do? No. Other people have to not do them. Refuse to do them.
Ye gods David – a little warning please! Settled in to your blog with my thermos of coffee, still somewhat half-asleep, clicked on “Continue reading” and BAM – that top screenshot hit me full on.
I know – no refunds, credit note only, but geez. I see you picked up on the crazy independent eyeball and the filthy nails too.
These people all seem the same – weird haircolor/bad wig, crazy eyes, assorted decorations drilled/plastered on, and the exaggerated facial movements and hand gestures. And that’s just from a few seconds with the sound off. Maybe they get different further in, but I’m not betting on it.

OK, so just actually watched that. I really didn’t need to because, it’s so close to exactly what I expected that it was pretty much exactly what I expected. I try not to comment without seeing the actual evidence but it’s really getting hard to sit through so much that turns out to be exactly what I expected. Plus it was 5 AM and I didn’t want to wake the wife with this BS…that said…
Therapy. The answer to this woman’s problem is clearly therapy. She needs to stop going to therapy. Her therapist needs to be delicensed, etc. Of course that will never happen because otherwise we wouldn’t be in this situation. Most therapists need to be delicensed, etc. (possibly even deloused) but Brandon’s unemployment numbers can only be fudged so much. In addition to what I said earlier about education, the therapy professions being taken over by hard leftists are also a HUGE part of the problem. Another big, big elephant in the room that conservatives…”conservatives” refuse to address. Even now that it’s bloody obvious and pretty much out in the open as to how f****d up they are, it’s crickets from the right.
This came to mind:
How far we’ve come.
OT – expert.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Indeed. Shouting “I’M UNIQUE/SPECIAL” whilst resembling all of the others doing the same is just…
Don’t I know it! I, like many others, try to deal with them, but it’s like playing Whack-A-Mole.
Sometimes wonder if Glenn Reynolds et al could do more to permanently ban such people: Not so much because All Wrong Opinions Must Be Cancelled but because the hateful and/or stupid comments make those comment threads far less useful. I remember when I could depend on the comment threads in certain blogs to offer additional information and/or analysis, rather than endless “that’s right” and “that’s wrong” and “you’re a poopy face”, plus trolling of various sorts.
Problem is that they keep on regenerating their accounts.
Yes, but can’t they go a step farther and ban specific IP addresses? That would take care of any trolls that are not prepared to go the further step of masking their IP address.
Accidentally posted this on the previous thread but as this one is open, I think this is worth reposting. I have no issue if you choose to delete the other one..

Found this in a comment by someone on Insty (handle of Astromathman). This is an excellent video, but long. I skipped the first 15 minutes and the last 5-10. One could probably skip the last 15-20. Not that those are a waste of time but the meat of it is most important. Not just about Artemus or space in general, but complex system design and the complexity of planning in general (cough, cough…economics…cough, cough).

I’m sure most of the trolls over there use vpn’s or other means. I don’t block many people but I find that works as necessary. I don’t like the idea of banning except in the most egregious of circumstances. A certain Johnny OTOH…I suspect he’s the same troll who used to change his handle repeatedly on some play of then name Truth/Reality. It’s really a difficult play for the host as whatever you try will be eventually sidestepped anyway. I certainly wouldn’t put much effort into it if I were them.
It sounded more like she was discussing her spirituality than her gender. Is it possible the younger generation is so disconnected from the supernatural that they are trying to avoid questions of purpose and meaning with unusual gender identities?

She would have a spirit animal – a hippo.
