“For most on the Left political violence is a dial they can have turned up or down as the situation dictates – usually driven by externals. Dial down for sit-ins and “peaceful” marches, dial-up for destruction of property, assault, and murder.
For most on the Right? It’s an on-off switch. The “off” pole is labeled “Vote”, the “on” pole is labeled “Shoot Fucking Everyone”.
I suspect more than a few switches were flipped yesterday. As such, I further suspect that things are fixing to get sporty around here.”
This is a quote from a commenter at the mothership that made a lot of sense to me. I’ve seen it in various forms over the years and I’ve come to believe it’s true. The Left tends to use political violence much more than the Right, but when the Right has had enough – hoo boy. Stand back. I make this observation not just as an American, but across post Enlightenment Europe as well.
And I think the question is, what do we do going forward?
I always think man, the people on You-tube used to be so creative. Remember when it first started how amazing it was? Yeah…see this video? How exciting is THIS?!?!?! The first back flip on You-tube
The first video I ever sent to Merv.
I’d like to thank lauraw for introducing me to this work of art…I believe it is part of the reason Merv fell madly in love with me……….three years after I showed him the video, but really…who’s counting?
The first cat video on You-tube……and as we all know, the Internet was created for cat and dog videos…..I’m pretty sure all videos uploaded to You-tube in 2005 were filmed with a potato.
Cybergoon squad…….the very first “weird side of You-tube” video.
And last, but not least, the VERY first video uploaded to You-tube by one of the founders enjoying his time at the zoo….my guess is, this guy is probably a rich mofo.
Also, it’s entirely possible I sprained my finger picking categories. I might die. I’ll miss you all.
This is going to be 90 minutes that we’ll never get back. Joe Biden is one of the dumbest guys to grace the national political stage. Everyone knows this. His family are grifters, his wife is a power hungry hag and his political round table is made up of old, fat, corrupt guys that have absolutely no issue with putting a hand up a skirt or 3. Fuck this guy sideways.
Soooo, all summer, I had “events” to train for, and dieting just wasn’t on my mind . But now … there is not really anything on the horizon- no big challenges, etc. No excuses.
So I stepped on the scale and this is what I saw:
I’d like to drop about 15 pounds, so today is the first day of the rest of my … bla bla bla.
Onto the “motivational” pictures.
What do we have in the “binders” today… oh, lookie here …
Fat women:
Fat man:
Fat Cat:
Fat Dog:
Fat mouse:
Fat horse:

I think I’ve illustrated the “fat” point pretty well. But WHAT diet to do? This one looks nice:
Ten pounds in a week? Sign me up. Week and a half, and I’d be DONE. I can’t find any information on it, so if anyone knows the ancient Chinese secret to losing 10 pounds in a week, drop me a line.
Then there is Eat All You Want Diet , which speaks to me on a spiritual level. You are supposed to read your body’s cues about what you need to eat, and how much, etc. Which … I’m pretty sure is how most of us ended up in the shape we’re in.
In essence this is an extreme vegan diet that describes meat as ‘dead, rotting, decomposing flesh’. The list of forbidden foods includes all animal products (meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy), refined flour, sugar, honey, beer, caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate) and any food that contains chemical additives like artificial sweeteners. “Sugar is the devil and artificial sweeteners just as bad” they state.
Sounds like FUN!
I think the worst diet that I’ve actually known people to try is the “egg diet”. I probably rolled my eyes the last time someone told me there were going on this diet. LOSE 24 POUNDS in 14 DAYS!!!
Awesome, right?
How does it work? Well, this is basically what you eat:
Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs and 1 citric fruit.
-Lunch: 2 slices of bread and some fruit.
-Dinner: a bowl of salad and chicken.
…for two weeks. Someone try it and let me know how it goes.
I’m going to just do the boring “count macros, eat less, work-out ” thing. Mare is encouraged to call me a fat-ass until I reach my goal-ish range. Macrostax is the program I’m using (it’s just an app) and I’ll up my running while I can, and continue with crossfit.
