There’s no way @7NewsAustralia thought they could post this with the comments off and not have anyone say something.

I have to say, I didn’t see that coming.

Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
Everything’s gone Rick and Morty.
Heh. The fabric of reality does seem to be taking a hit.
For those who missed the reference.
Elie hasn’t thought this through. But then, he doesn’t actually think.
The ladies, twins Paula and Bridgette Powers, are apparently quite well known.
Practised, pretentious victimhood is a very unhealthy diet.
Although it can be profitable.
Details of the crime referred to in the clip can be found here.
Neck tattoos. Although I cannot decipher them…beyond “I am scum”.
Are we going to be assimilated?
You’ve gotten the gist of it.
Almost slipped my mind: Happy Compost Your Girlfriend Day.
And once again, I understand barely half of what goes on here.

Surprisingly, safe-search was not needed this time…

Vegans upset.
How does it take 18 months to get a warrant?
The fact that you actually aren’t totally sure this isn’t satire right off the bat is all you need to know about the state of the woke Left.
We still await definitive peer reviewed studies proving Vegans are human beings.
In case you missed it, a noteworthy change of pitch.
That thing that never happens …
Not feeling sorry for them.
I suspected their complaints would meet with little sympathy.
And again, as so often, note the utter disregard for reciprocation. They, being Our Betters, are conveniently entitled to disrupt someone else’s business and use a megaphone to chide and aggravate the staff and customers of that business. But when a customer tires of their presumption and smashes the megaphone, this is THE ULTIMATE OUTRAGE AND VIOLATION AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
And it has to be said, the noodle-armed chap with the red shirt and terrible posture is not the greatest advert for their political philosophy.
Heavens, you’d think they could at least get the details correct.
6 girls, 5 boys, […]
It’s hunger pangs.
Aside from the guy that took action, I suspect pretty much everyone else was upset as well. Upset with the guy that took action. People are generally cool with leftists doing things like bringing megaphones into businesses and blasting their opinions in shoppers’ faces. That’s acceptable abnormal behavior. They’ve been conditioned to accept it. But now this guy comes in and does something to really make those people think. That’s unacceptable abnormal behavior. Much more so than the vegans.
Another vegan who looks like he’s got cancer.
It does seem to be a fairly common phenomenon. Over the years, I’ve known a handful people who loudly announced their sudden-onset veganism and within a couple of months three of them looked like they were undergoing chemotherapy.
It’s not a terribly efficient way of taking in sustenance.
I think what prompted him to demand an apology was that she said “babe,” and he Cluster B’d all over it, so she brought up “tranny,” which prompted the change of pitch, and she repeated the slur, leading to him to grab the fern (???), aaand scene.
She says that security intervened right after the clip stopped.
I follow a carnivore community on X, and they are certainly capable of their own purity spirals — you have to use THIS kind of salt and take THAT form of magnesium. Some of them are obviously OCD with their food intake, but you get the feeling that their carnivore diets aren’t actually hurting them.
And they’re not in the produce aisle screaming that plants create poisons to prevent them from being eaten, so what are you doing ingesting the poisons. Though I suppose they could.
Some people are just nuts when it comes to food.
I did recently enjoy a vegan sausage roll. The seasoning was doing the heavy lifting, but still. By no means an atrocity.
Yes, I know. I live on the edge.
I briefly had a mental image of Dicentra in some post-apocalyptic wasteland, trudging wearily behind a caravan of rogue meat-eaters, foraging shreds of flesh and gnawing on discarded bones.
I had a whole thing going.
Heh. Nothing so dramatic, I’m afraid.

It requires serious effort to craft a vegetarian diet that provides all the necessary amino acids (complete protein) and vitamins and minerals.
Anecdote: someone related once knowing a young woman who claimed to be a vegan/vegetarian, but who more likely just didn’t like to eat. Her child suffered–always underfed.
I’ve eaten more than a few carnivores in my time, but they were of the piscine sort.
[ Vaguely recalls a song with the refrain “I eat cannibals”. ]
Dropped 2 hours ago, Jordan on Rogan. I’m just starting to listen.
No surprise. I’d expect that vegan meat would be far too lean.

“Peacekeeper”
In progressive nomenclature, would he be a trans peacekeeper?
A revealing biographical detail:
And a clue that this “might” be thinly disguised payola to gangsters:
Dude. My all-time favorite best worst video evah. Toto Coelo or something. Props.

Also a very interesting story in the quoted article about the situation with Blaire Fleming, the trans NCAA volleyball player. Teammates grouped with Fleming in student accommodation and shared hotel rooms without being told what Fleming was, which signals that this is something routine and you’ll make yourself the weird one for speaking up as if you had a choice in the matter. Girl-talk intimacy – we’ll all be bridesmaids at each other’s weddings – how wholesome – established on what some of those roommates might feel to be a false basis. Pressure then – look, you’re making Blaire cry – to affirm that you have merely statistical quibbles about the effect of spike velocity on D1 competitive equilibrium, and personally nothing but love and support for Blaire. Not one player saying no sorry, this is weird and false, that she signed up as a student athlete to share living arrangements and locker rooms with other young women, and not with Frankenstein experiments that are inserted into their spaces.
Demonic possession?
And some people have other issues that makes them nuts when it comes to food.
There’s a certain type of vegetarian that claims to be one only because it allows them a great amount of leeway in hiding what they eat and don’t eat from other people.
My sister-in-law was constantly hounded by her mother about her weight even though she was always quite healthy and always within a normal range of weight for her height. Eventually she came to look almost anorexic because she ate so little. She also became a “vegetarian” because it allowed her to not have to eat a lot of different things or many things as she has so chosen.
Her mother was a real head case when it came to weight. She weighed herself three or four times a day. She practically starved her family by preparing so little at meal times. My wife was lucky to escape it because she was a surprise baby born 8 years after her youngest sister. Her mom didn’t have the energy to go after her as she had done with her sister.
We try to help the ladies out and what do we get? Restraining orders, mostly.
Peterson: One of the hallmarks of identification from the clinical literature for the cluster B types. And so they’re they have a parasitical element — histrionic, narcissistic, psychopathic, criminal — that’s cluster B they use false claims of victimization to manipulate, and so this is a particularly pernicious pathway, because they parasitize empathy, and the left is unbelievably susceptible to that because the left is full of empathic people and so those who parasitize empathy have a field day on the left.
Rogan: Right, right, because the left is generally thought to be more educated, more compassionate, kinder, looking out for marginalized people, that’s part of the ethics of the…
Peterson: The ethic is pretty straightforward: “Anything that cries is a baby.” It’s like “No, some things that cry are monsters.”
Rogan: Oo, right, right…
How Americans sound to Brits.
Right?
