What's everyone paying (in freedom dollars) for a haircut? I remember going to the barber with a $20 because it was $17 + $3 tip. I just got one yesterday and it was ~$54...

It's a respectable place and not some doofus with a Wahl hair clipper, but still
I pay $35AU or there abouts for my latest hair cut. We don't tip because we are civilised.

Front page loading a bit slowly for anyone? Feels like it did when that script or whatever it was had embedded itself.

I mean just forums.bf2s.com. It hangs for me for a few seconds, and then the second half of it loads.

The site still tries to hit me with malware from time to time, usually when I'm first loading up from Google or typing in the URL, but occasionally it's even while switching pages here that BitDefender tells me it stopped something from hijacking the browser.

Reinstalled MWB into its trial mode. It's now giving me the blocked outbound connection popup and flagging site as potentially malicious, though not giving me a specific hijack attempt or anything. Dilb's Norton was flagging last time too. Dunno if it is now. Either way, messaged tazz.

e: mwb warning reoccurred right as i posted this, lol, but maybe a delayed response. gonna use piranha's link for a bit, i think

Chronic dickhead Scott Adams summarized in a Simpsons clip:


He's been #*& around for years, and now he's in the find out phase.

The whole "it's ok to be white" is just a recruitment euphemism for white nationalism anyway. It sounds nice to the moderate white fence-sitters. "Of course it's OK to be white! I'm white!" All the moaning and complaining in this country about how white culture isn't celebrated, when it's actually mainstream American culture they're living.

I was wondering if you'd bring this up. I was going to post an article for a chuckle.

Well now the front page for this site is stalling, top half loads then the bottom half loads half a second later.
No AV warnings though.

Still like that for me since like a week before I posted about it. Reinstalled MWB picked up an issue, and I had to whitelist the site to load it at all. PM'd tazz, maybe it's something like what happened last time.

The report found that 72% of the respondents agreed, including 53% who are Black. Some 26% of Black respondents disagreed, and 21% said they are "not sure." The poll also found that 79% of all the respondents agreed with the statement "Black people can be racist too."
53% is a majority. I can see the same person complaining if it was "only" 75%. Stupid thing to be angry about it.

National Review also has an article about how only 22% of Stanford's graduating class is white. They see it as proof of affirmative action against white people. Every group but Asians were under represented. Asians ate into the white numbers. This was expected to happen as systems changed to take only the highest scoring applicants. NR still blamed affirmative action and the the comment section blamed black people there too. A lot of comments were about how "only taking scores into account isn't fair" when faced with the fact that the Asians were outscoring the whites.

Stupidity and hypocrisy.

The same people opposed to updating schools, shrinking classroom sizes, and growing colleges and improving accessibility. More at eleven.

Talking bad about vaccines and liberals.

His comics on his page have a comment section.

He went down his own comment section rabbit hole.

I didn't want to give him the web traffic, but I clicked anyway.

Took all of four strips down for him to whine about pronouns.

I do not remember that comic being this political back while Calvin & Hobbes was being actively penned. Also, Dilbert started when Bloom County (a sometimes political comic, stopped). It started up again in recent years. Coincidence?! We need to question Bill Watterson and Berkeley Breathed.

e: did my own research (i.e., wikipedia), which drops a quote that succinctly describes Dilbert.

Xerox management had recognized what more gullible Dilbert readers did not: Dilbert is an offbeat sugary substance that helps the corporate medicine go down. The Dilbert phenomenon accepts—and perversely eggs on—many negative aspects of corporate existence as unchangeable facets of human nature... As Xerox managers grasped, Dilbert speaks to some very real work experiences while simultaneously eroding inclinations to fight for better working conditions.
As a kid, I probably wouldn't have appreciated the above. There might've been a few mild chuckles at the funny looking office characters whenever slapstick happened. And then I'd move onto whatever insane side story Bill the Cat was being rolled into, like fighting the Soviet Union with weaponized pennies or something.

Why would you care if you gave him web traffic or not? It's not like your 1. paying out of your own pocket or 2. generating any meaningful amount of revenue

I'm selling my place I live in now and renting for a little bit. I forgot how unfun it is to look for rentals. My gf and I looked at 15 different places, applied to 5, and got accepted by 3. Pretty exhausting.

I'm hoping the housing market slumps over the next year and then I'll buy again when it happens. I should still come out ahead based on the equity I have in my place now.
