The problem in SE-asia isn't usually your girlfriend/wife, it's her family. The girls themselves are usually quite good and honest. The family, though, gets in their ears, and blood is thicker than water.

The key is -- don't spend any money that's not disposable. You want that nice 250K house in the hills? Sure, but that better be pocket change for you.

Keep in mind -- I've seen a lot of very good White/SE-A relationships, but the ones that go south do so catastrophically.

Uh... that was hilarious. I feel like I instantly become a better person.

Imma go help some old ladies cross the street... with KUNG FU.

Although... The Rwandan 'Genocide' didn't actually happen. Sure, many people were killed -- probably in keeping with the official figures. And many of the deaths were as brutal as reported. It's just that the narrative of the war isn't what we think it is.

Ron Unz (as always!) has a great write-up on this at "unz.com". Unz is great because he's a massively high-IQ normie, but he follows the information where it takes him.

Yeah... these NatSoc is left-wing people always fail to mention that Hitler explicitly excluded women from society. Doctors/Teachers were gently pressed to retire. Only 10% of university positions were given to chicks (presumably for chick-type work). Abortion rates dropped by about 80%.

Hitler's basically the personification of 'Remove the 19th Amendment'.

But yeah, that's totes the same as gay judeo-bolshevism.

I'm going to choose to not believe you. Adult pacifiers? No way.

Wow, you're not lying -- they really did claim 5'7''.

Well, I don't know you, but I had to choose between "BlisteringCold" or "Google" being a liar, the choice is pretty clear.

It never even occurred to me that the Pope would condemn this!

Oh, I guess that link I put isn't working! I just tried it myself and it comes up empty. Or maybe my internet's acting up?

The long/layman version is: "The Hockey Stick Illusion" by AW Montford, based on the work of Canadian professor Steven McIntyre. The shorter/less-laymanish version is the article "Mining for Hockey Sticks" on Wattsupwiththat.com (the link I tried to give you -- even if you don't agree with the article, it's nicely written, and will remind you why you like math... or at least why I like math).

The issue with global warming is that we really only have accurate data for the last fifty years or so -- and even then, the technology has changed from slow mercury thermometers to the very fast ones that they used during covid. Prior to fifty years ago there was poor coverage, making the 'global average temperature' a bit of a crap shoot.

And then: going back through the centuries, we really only have proxies like tree rings and ice cores. Proxies are fine, but they tend to fall into the realm of 'red noise' (as explained in the article). That's fine, but you somehow need to calibrate the data. But we only have about fifty years worth of reasonable data to calibrate things!

Now: My (McIntyre's) claim is that if you want to fit 1000 years of proxy data using only 50 years of 'real' data... and if you want to maintain 'autocorrelations' -- meaning that you want the peaks/troughs of the proxy data to roughly mean the same thing throughout history... then a 'hockey stick' is an inevitable outcome of that mathematical process. The article, if you can access it, involves generating series(es?) of 'red noise' data sets and showing that 'hockey sticks' naturally emerge.

Okay: I understand that what I just wrote looks suspiciously like I'm just using big words to confuse people. But I'm really not! There's just an outstanding issue of how you generalize from proxies to real data. I've gone through the math myself, and I think McIntyre (and Eschenbach) are correct.

I might be wrong. Obviously Michael Mann disagrees with me, but -- and you have no way of verifying this -- my pedigree is better than his. This is one of the times I wish Freeman Dyson were still around, because he'd probably be able to sort this out. I mean... he did... but from a different point of view.

If you're into Italian Stuff: La Mafia Uccide solo d'estate was just delightful.

I watched it in Spanish, not Italian, which mean the rampant hand gestures hilarious.

There's a beautiful article about 'rapid temperature change' on Wattsupwiththat. It's a generalization of McIntyre's idea that the 'hockeystick graph' is a numerical artifact.

It makes sense to me. And from hints that you dropped about a year ago, I get the feeling that you're pretty good at math yourself, so it might make sense to you, too.

In the current year, how do people not understand the jews?

This is impossible. Only Nazis and various muslims gas people.

Please reconsider your anti-semitism.

Oddly, Fuentes is a bit of a fag, but I'm not sure that he's gay.

You can name the jew, though.

Back in the day, one of the female broadcasters on TSN (Canada's ESPN) used to come into my store. I tried a few time to chat sports with her -- like I would with anyone -- but she just didn't know anything. It was eye-opening.

Do you really think that an Australian Abo marrying a Norseman leads to 'stronger genes and healthier children'? I suspect that what you're referring to is more along the lines of: try not to marry your cousins.

Wait... is this a rare antisemitic comment from Gizortnik?

Yeah, but Nuremberg is still totes an accurate record of history. You know, except for that thing, and the other thing.

I just finished Pines -- the first book of the Wayward Pines trilogy -- and wow, it gets really, really good in the last 80 pages or so.

I'm writing this because I'm retracting my previous statement about 'weak source material'. I'm diving into "Wayward", the second book of the trilogy, so I'm hoping that the story is well developed.

The idea itself, while not 100% original, is great. And the author puts in an epilogue where he describes what he was trying to do -- no spoilers here... He was trying to re-create the magic of Twin Peaks, and he did a pretty great job.

You mean jews. But otherwise everything you said was true.

I mean he's jewish&hollywood. You know his politics.

I'm guessing they have different voice actors for the Chinese market.

Yeah, Gizortnik goes from being one of the more eloquent members of this group to a maniacal liar/mis-representer as soon as the holofrost or global warming are mentioned.

It's astonishing.

"Son of a Critch" is really charming, especially if you're Canadian. There's only a tiny bit of wokeness in the first 1.5 seasons.

Ooh... I'm reading Pines right now -- it's a fantastic, breezy read.

The first half of the show was fantastic. The second half fell apart. I actually think it's a bit of a weakness in the source material.
