1 You could also edit the date...

2 Well, it was a date specific post, and the date is 5 days past, so...

1 We can only assume that some generations ago, one of your ancestors violated the tomb of a vengeful ancient god, urinated in the sacrificial bowl, and then threw it through a mirror. That might possibly explain your luck.
May your boxes be light and easily moved, your stones likewise small and easily passed, and your wrist free of pain as soon as possible!

A Tornado paid a visit Friday, but was kind enough to only leave limbs in the yard.

As long as your own limbs are still attached, that's probably the best outcome.

3 Arghhhhhhhh.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

1 Certainly effective.

Neither is this...

1 Spoiler tags are [*spoiler*] Darth Vader is Luke's father! (gasp!) [*/spoiler] but without the asreixes and no spaces in the tags. 

2 Kinda lost track of the show this season because nobody could agree on episode numbering....

3 "They may be infinite, but that doesn't mean there's no upper limit"
Without context, that's actually true.
There are an infinite number of Real numbers between zero and one, so that's an infinite set with an upper limit.
In fact, there are more Real numbers between zero and one, than there are Natural numbers between zero and infinity. The former is an uncountably infinite set, and the latter is a countably infinite set, so the former is larger even though they're both infinite. Math is weird.

Of course, she's probably talking about something countable, which would make her statement as silly as it seems to be.

4 Yes..she's discussing a set of tangible things.

5 I started reading ahead in the manga, but I think the anime is now ahead of the manga, so time to watch it.  When I run out of Hololive Minecraft streams...

6 Sometimes I felt it was too talky, but not every dramatic change or confrontation is part of shonen combat.  The part that surprised me this season was Suburu actually developing magical powers.  But if he isn't going to be dying every other episode, he needed some kind of power-up.
On the other hand, it's high time he ditched that track-suit. It ought to be in shreds by now.  I hope the look he sported during the knighting ceremony will be his new one in S3.
And on that note, at least one reader on Crunchy claimed to have read that White Fox (the studio) is doing preliminary work on S3; not quite full pre-production yet.  Not a terribly authoritative rumor at this point.

7 Season 3, he wakes up in the alley again.....

1 Reddit is... really being bad, lately. They have some kind of super-admins that keep banning people on the Catholicism and Catholic Memes subreddits for discussing Catholic doctrine. Apparently this finally got embarrassing enough for them to stop, but not to reply to the actual admins' query about what was even acceptable or bad to post.
Oh, and Malicious Compliance went private, apparently for similar reasons.

2 That statement is conspicuously missing such phrases as "abject apology" and  "we royally screwed the pooch".  A heck of a lot of sheep giving them awards for it, regardless.

3 It does have gobbledygook like "actioning content that mentioned the employee’s name", though.  It's a masterwork of garbage Newspeak.

4 Apparently the going private of various popular groups was a protest of this very thing, lasting a day and making a fair amount of traffic trouble.
Also apparently this Aimee Challenor person was clandestinely inviting young persons on Reddit, who were interested in "transitioning", to come to her house to receive hormones without their parents' knowledge. Since this person's husband is apparently a p*do fan and this person's dad is a p*do criminal, Reddit suddenly realized that they should feel concern.

5 Whoops. The Reddit admin person inviting kids home to take prescription hormones is _another_ Reddit admin.

6 That particular crazy seems to just be a moderator, not an admin.  Any lunatic can be a moderator.

1 The press have pivoted now to making excuses for him, saying he was mentally ill and bullied by White racists.

2 ISIS operating in Blue cities and giving the residents thereof exactly what they voted for is quite schadenfreudalicious. We should ship all the illegals streaming into Texas up there as well.

1 I would like to say that this blog really convinced me to do it! Thanks, very good post. 漫畫

1 I'm rather fond of L. Neil Smith's first few novels, which showcase a Libertarian paradise that's held together by a cadre of people who constantly violate its fundamental principles for good reasons.

-j

2 Never been a libertarian, let alone the capital 'L' variety.  Occasionally having libertarian impulses on a subject every once in a long while, yes, but I have never been a libertarian even when I was young and dumb, and definitely not a(n) (American) liberal - and believe me, I had more people than I can count who tossed the "When your young and you aren't a liberal means you don't have a heart" line me back then.

3 I'm still astonished that they deleted the comment at IP, and more astonished that it was getting upvoted. 

4 I'm not sure why you're astonished that it was upvoted at IP.  I'd probably have done so had I seen it.  Not sure why it would've gotten deleted--usually the only thing that causes that is swear words.  Now, the PJ Media site itself, yeah, they're a lot more nuke-happy, and they really hate, for example, being called cucks, so that's a word that will get your comment deleted toot suite.

5 Libertarians are not simply the autists. At least one autist was able to see through the libertarian arguments to come to a conclusion of conservatism. Libertarianism is mostly an information operation. The folks who are not in on the scam are ones who are tribal, who haven't done a full analysis yet, or who just didn't bring the right flavor of contrarian obnoxiousness to some of the sub-problems. Any close critical analysis of conservative media recently shows how heavily riddled with information operations it is. It is more information operation scammers than forthright, careful men. (In fairness, many of them are lawyers, and lawyers in particular have their nuts in a vice.) Conservatism has been for a long time weakened by having the official information channels within it so thoroughly suborned. From this perspective, it is unsurprising that a space that could be third way/half way is filled by something that is almost entirely information operation.

1 a) Had the whole of congress been strung up, it would have merely been bringing them to vigilante justice.

b) There was never much chance of such a impromptu force being able to actually make it through congressional security forces.

c) The whole of January 6 stinks of Pelosi stage managing things.

d) The thing about the 'BLM' riots that is most disturbing is the clear evidence of official/Democrat involvement in the stage management.  Political organizations which do this stuff do not suddenly come to their senses and knock it off.

e)  Which is more likely?   That nominal conservatives got off their asses, and finally decided on and implemented fighting fire with fire?  Or that Bowser/Pelosi just did what so many Democrat mayors and governors have been doing for years, and especially most of last year?  Me?  I conclude Democrats, and that the other attribution is a frame job.

f) If those that oppose the Democrats are fighting fire with fire, we will not only see the one incident.  If this technique has been implemented outside of Democrat control, we will see it used again.  The Democrats hunkering down in their bunker with their dear leader in DC are far from the only Democrat targets.  Most of these Democrat targets remain quite unsecured.

g) I predict that fire will be fought with some other strategy.

h) Destroying the police, and denying recourse to courts will naturally increase vigilantism. 

i) I don't think QAnon was true, and do not think it was ever the center of gravity to opposition to the Democrats.  I did think that some of the early pushback was interesting, because it invoked the pedophile and the satanist theories to discredit Q. 

This looked really weird, because those elements, on their own, are credible.  i) Pedophilia is plausible if one has had any contact with a public school sex ed curriculum in the last 20-30 years.  ii) As for satanism, we can be sure that communism is a heresy of Christianity.  Much of the left are clearly religious communists in behavior.  If we define a satanism by defensible criteria, the charge of satanism is objectively true. 

The whole 'bureaucratic insider' framing is something people would want to believe, but which does not stand up to serious examination. So, the early anti QAnon stuff was an information operation.  I think the theory plausible that QAnon was an information operation done with the intention of being discredited.  The recent anti-QAnon stuff also sounds like an information operation, the new regime needing an Emmanuel Goldstein.

j) The regime will be brought down by its own insanity and illegitimacy.  It is premature to talk of it already being brought down.  In theory, it could stay in power if it was capable of restraining itself in its torment of Americans.  Xi's senile pedophile jiangshi is completely incapable of providing that restraint.  Policy now is set by a Gu jar of evil madness that will precipitate something, whether by in fighting or some other route.  Kam Harris will not fix the situation should she take over, because she has no ability to refrain from abusing someone under her power. 

k) Elections are pointless without first being able to i) control voter lists ii) avoid electronic voting machines iii) force the courts to decide disputes fairly. 

l) Nobody with a law degree can be trusted.  Paul Caron, taxprof dot typepad dot com, a law school dean, posted a letter dated january 12, 2021, bragging about being signatory to it.  It is signed by a number of law school deans, I understand over 150.  I have not learned of any of these recanting it, or being removed from their positions.  Note, Glenn Reynolds is at a school whose acting head signed the thing, and that person is still acting head. 

m) Before you can justly talk about fixing things with elections, you need to either restore the trustworthiness of the courts, or you need to have an alternate means of resolving disputes to the formal legal system, one that does not include people with law degrees. 

1 Given how people with power are actively destroying everything American in the US (HR.1 and allowing boys participation in girls' athletics, to name two.), why would anyone be surprised by this?

2 I love the way everyone's going along with Twitter pretending that was a "bug" rather than a peek behind the curtain.

1 I don't see what you're trying to say here.
The Neflix-and-chill with Kimetsu no Yaiba seems legitimate.
And, if you're trying to make a pun about Nezuko being involved, then consider that the show itself makes Zenitsu basically do it.

2 Just that is not a series that inspires the word "chill".

3 I dunno, the fan-art on Pixiv suggests a lot of guys want to "chill" with her, and every other female in the show...

4 Seems like the same Shonen Jump style action plotting I've been enjoying since young adulthood. So reading the manga or watching the anime might just be a relaxing lazy nostalgic return to my childhood. For values of childhood that does not actually include what I was reading as a child. (Joan Aiken and Rosemary Sutecliff stand out in my memories. And Jean Craighead George was actually my favorite author at one point in my life, well before I wound up a hard-line extremist in my opposition to environmentalism.) All I know of Kimetsu no Yaiba is what I've read from the wiki. I didn't see anything there that looks unusual for the genre. Is the pacing unusually fast, the art unusually graphic, or the emotion unusually intense? But no way am I going to watch anything on Netflix. (I watch little in the way of video, because of bugs in how I process it. And I have a fast wealth of stuff available, waiting unwatched, without needing to resort to Netflix.)
