Grass Not In Fact Greener
Via Pst314 in the comments, a tale of suboptimal decisions:
Says the cross-dressing man in the floral pinafore.
This American man, pretending to be a woman, fled the US for the Netherlands for “asylum.”
Now he regrets it because of all the Muslim migrants who violently target him.

Our cross-dressing chap, whose name is not disclosed, fled some unspecified oppression in Mr Trump’s America and sought asylum in the Netherlands. As one does.
And so, our cross-dressing man now finds himself in the country’s primary asylum reception centre, sited in the village of Ter Apel, and where his fellow seekers of asylum – chiefly, Muhammadan gentlemen from Morocco and Algeria – are an actual danger, not an imagined one.
“There’s a bunch [of migrants] who think that queer people should be beaten,” says he. “It is too dangerous to walk from here to the grocery store because of the people who live in the camp.”
Sufficiently so, it seems, for the Red Cross and other aid agencies to have withdrawn from the encampment due to the violence, arson, numerous stabbings, and so forth.

Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
“Computer, end programme.”
From the previous thread:
I click over to that comment, notice that it’s from 2010, and assume that it was long before my time…
…only to scroll up and see that the first word of the article is my handle, and that I’d recommended the subject of that blog post, which means I’d been here already long enough to be making recommendations.
THAT WAS 16 YEARS AGO.

This must be the mirror universe. Not quite sure how we got here, but it’s the only logical explanation.

Try sitting here, love.
Also from the previous thread:
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, played a smarmy bastard better than Jack Cassidy. He was one of the few actors to play the murderer on THREE Columbo episodes.
Robert Culp also made three appearances, but then Patrick McGoohan made four.
Still. He’s great to watch, even if I do want to smack the smirk off his face.
It’s not an episode that will leave you feeling short-changed.
What world do these people live in?
One might ask the same of those in charge of our current asylum and immigration policies, here in the UK and across much of Europe. I use the words in charge of loosely, given that said policies seem both chaotic and perverse.
I didn’t know ‘Idiocracy’ was a documentary.
The thought process – I’m assuming there was one – is not entirely obvious to me.
“No refunds. Credit note only.”
A world in which PBS, the New Yorker, and the New York Times are the pinnacle of complete and accurate news reporting, while the sources that actually report what is really happening in Europe are all “right wing disinformation” and therefore can safely be ignored.
It’s you.
I prefer the term moral grey area.

Two posts linking to that very Libs of Tik Tok tweet appeared yesterday on Instapundit. In both comment threads, Bruce Bawer’s experiences in the Netherlands were mentioned. Annoyingly, a number of commenters assumed that Bawer moved from New York to the Netherlands to enjoy a life of extreme debauchery, although there is no publicly available information to support such an assumption and his writings support the opposite assumption. This might qualify as another form of It’s All So Tiresome.

Y’know, some women really go for an air of sophisticated mysterious evil.
. . . as has been discussed here recently.
The Hawaiian good luck sign.
Not actually sure what I’m going to do with this awesome, terrible power.

Something diabolical.

Hey, you can really twirl in this thing.
And I’m wondering, where are the Dutchmen?
Brings to mind a quote from Henry V, given by the Dauphin before the Battle of Agincourt:
“By faith and honour,
Our madams mock at us, and plainly say
Our mettle is bred out and they will give
Their bodies to the lust of English youth
To new-store France with bastard warriors.”
Deinstitutionalisation was a mistake.
Fact check: True.
“But an opera cloak’s not for twir—Oh, never mind. Here, use the silver-headed walking stick. It suits you better. Now do your laugh. Deeper. Perfect. Get on with you, or you’ll be late for school. And don’t forget your lunch.”
And yet what stood out was the word “rebellion.”
Sucker punch.

Well, there’s the mantel clock gone.
From the replies, “House cats of the sea.”
Meanwhile, in the world of nursing and something not unlike stalking.
Proof that the octopus is smarter than the average leftist.
It’s like they don’t hear how they sound.
Betcha the complainer is not at all reticent about politics at work.
As someone quips in reply,
Sounds about right.
I should add that the replies on Reddit are for the most surprisingly sensible. And it occurs to me that if you’re someone who finds it suspicious and unsettling that your “very nice, very helpful” and well-regarded co-worker doesn’t use the workplace to talk about politics, then the odds are pretty good he’s conservative-leaning.
Just as crawling through his social media tells the rest of us that you’re either insufferably neurotic and slightly creepy, or were fishing for a date.
Yet another insufferably “woke” nurse.
It’s another one of those “Man shakes fist at reality” news stories. So many these days. People are living in their own little dream world, until, just occasionally, reality bites them in the face.
Public caning.
Hey, I’m just putting it out there.
Allowing the ladies the pretense of equality while still refraining from punching them repeatedly in the face for being nasty little shits was not the right approach.
Or cheese.
Stocks and pillories have a certain traditional charm.
I’m wondering whether I should have a bowl of Greek yoghurt with honey and cherries.
I mean, I don’t want to seem decadent or anything.
It does seem that something along those line would be required. To penetrate the psychodrama.
I just want a stationary target.
Well, I mean, you’re unlikely to convey to her her own fundamental obnoxiousness via some optimistic appeal to reason. But maybe fear can still be learned.
Just wait until he returns to the US and discovers he’s now considered a right wing extremist because of the Islamophobia he shows here, exclusively blaming Muslims.
I have heard people claim that Muslims mean “you’re number one” when they do this.
Thirty years ago, I’d assume it was sarcasm, but it’s rather difficult to tell, these days.
