I don’t smoke. I don’t vape. And if I did, I would not have inhaled anything made in China. That decision came about well before I saw the video below, which purports to show the method of testing of vape products in a Chinese vape factory.

 

Gee golly gosh, it sure is a mystery how some epidemics seem to spread so quickly…

There is a video at THIS LINK that shows the aftermath of a number of thieves trying to break into a guys property (home? car?). The thieves are uninjured… but they are seriously *cowed* by the cameraman, the owner of the property in question. He’s able to wander around and berate the thieves one by one… and not only do they not run off, they follow his orders which include stripping buck nekkid. It’s amusing to be sure. But there are some plot holes:

1) How does he command their obedience? Some possibilities:

1A) He’s well armed

1B) He has off-camera backup that is well armed

1C) The thieves didn’t know who they were robbing, and now know that he is, perhaps, some locally respected criminal leader. Gang activity is not to be discounted.

2) What happened next? Beyond the NSFW options, were the cops called? Did the interactions end with a series of gunshots? Were the thieves sent on their way sans wallets, phones, clothes, shoes? They seem to have been in possession of one of more cars. Presumably not after this encounter, though it’s reasonable to assume they stole those cars in the first place.

 

Note that one of the thieves was found to have an ankle monitor. This means that not only has he committed crimes before, he’d been arrested, tried, convicted and punished by the legal system… and wasn’t dissuaded from continuing criminality. One wonders if getting caught and humiliated by one of his intended victims might have a more salubrious effect on his future plans than getting arrested would. Given the propensity of so many local legal systems to simply decriminalize crime these days, having non-official responses to criminals might not be a bad thing.

 

As to the ankle monitor: cutting it off might have some captivating results for the guy who’s supposed to be wearing it.

Just try to imagine this happening in the US Senate or House of Representatives. We have much to learn from the enlightened citizens of Sierre Leone. I look forward with great interest to Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy throwing down. Of course this raises questions: would doing so be “cultural appropriation,” or would failure to do so be “cultural erasure?” Hmmm…

“Locked doors” are important things to be aware of if you are planning on stealing… both when to avoid them and when to embrace them. But if you’re a shoplifter, chances are you’re not too bright, and simple observations and basic planning for the future are likely outside of your skillset. Witness these oxygen thieves in action:

 

This example of societal decay brought to you by the letter D.

The policies that the British government have enacted over recent years of allowing the mass invasion of Britain are, it seems, finally getting the British citizens mad enough to, maybe, do something about it. Britain seems to have a number of problems, including but not limited to:

1) Their National Health Service provide free health care to everyone… including the “migrants.” But the “migrants” aren’t funding new hospitals or more doctors; they’re just consuming the available resources.

2) The “migrants” aren’t building new housing; they’re simply being *given* housing. Houses, apartments, hotel rooms are disappearing from the market and being filled with, mostly, military age males from antagonistic nations.

3) The utilities, from electricity to natural gas to the water and sewers were built assuming the British population… not the British population PLUS an occupying foreign force.

 

The answer is obvious: first, prevent new “migrants” from landing; second, mass deportations. None of this is likely to occur. Why is the British government doing this to the British people? Fark if I know. The only explanations that seem to make any sort of sense sound a whole lot like conspiracy theories. But reality is what it is.

 

 

Asylum seekers to be sent to rural areas for fairer distribution of migrants

 

 

Here’s a thought… take a few hundred thousand of the military age migrant, give each of them an AK-47 and two magazines, and drop them off in Luhansk. Wacky hijinks ensue.

With all the freaking out about whether AI will replace human endeavor… rarely is it asked “Do we suck? Should the machines take over?” A case can be made.

 

art

[ ahrt ]


noun
Yeah. By that basic definition… humans often really kinda suck at art. Now, it’s no moral failing to be bad at art, or bad at *anything.* But when bad art is upheld as something good, when laziness is rewarded, incompetence championed, and art that just plain denigrates what should be lauded… yeah, *that* is not good.
