The Weird, Random and Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread

am recalling a few years ago we were seeing a job posting in oregon... or washington.  am always getting the hippy states confused.   listing were for psychiatrist applicants for state hospital(s).  mongst preferred skills were the traditional multilingual aspect, but with one odd addition: klingon.  'ccording to an article we read in the months after seeing the job posing, a not insignificant number o' mental distressed patients communicated in klingon, and only in klingon. 

 

am not certain why, but we felt unexpected pity for rachel dolezal. not sympathy, but pity. so utter pathetic.  

 

And don't forget Elizabeth Warren.

When my dog passed away a few months ago I was very depressed. But, although it is tempting, I would never consider this: http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2017/11/13/texas-company-cloning-pets/

 

The cloned dog will look exactly like the one you remember. But it won't be him/her. The things that made the original dog special was time you spent together. The history and experiences and training and fun times. The new dog won't have any of that and since we are all the sum of those experiences the new dog may be totally different. I think that would make it even harder. There are so many  homeless dogs that need what your old dog had that if you are going to have a fresh start no matter what, it should be completely fresh. 

 

But it would be tempting.

 

Or you could go a different way:http://mashable.com/2017/11/13/boston-dynamics-unveils-spotmini-robot-dog/#dt3k2OhLXPqE

Now this is funny. Cops from two separate precincts in Detroit decide to set up a drug bust without knowledge or coordination with each other.  The cops from one precinct are posing as dealers, the other as customers. Guess who tried to buy drugs from who! Hilarity, gun fire and injuries ensue: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5076517/Drug-bust-ends-fight-undercover-cops-Detroit.html

 

Great job serving and protecting there fellas.

Quote
“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

One of the worst aspects of that drug cop shooting each other nonsense story is their goalw asn't even to stop drugs.. thye just wanted an excuse to 'legally' steal someone's vehicle. They wanted someone to buy a 1/00th ounce of cocain so they can inpound their $20,000+ car with no trial, hearing or fairness udner the law. EVIL.

Civil asset forfeiture is nothing less that legalized theft. That is no different than a school yard bully beating up a kid and stealing his lunch money. Only it's "ok" because the government is doing it. It is still theft and it is immoral.

Thought every one knew that by now.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
