@LFC:

Man, UK pubs were already closing far too early, compared to most other countries (last round @ 11:30pm IIRC)... Looks like COVID-19 sealed the deal! Now families can take their kids with them to the pub, and be back home in time for bed.

I miss the days when children weren't allowed in pubs. They were one of the few day-time places where a person could go to to be free from the annoyances of kids running around. Now, there hardly exists a place where children are excluded. I was sat trying to enjoy a beer in a sunny beer garden last week, only to have screaming kids running around, parents completely disinterested in what their darling offspring were up to.

If you want to have kids, look after them responsibly, which does not mean taking them to pubs, FFS.

And don't get me started on airplanes - why not have child-free areas of the plane and areas which are just for families with screaming kids - let them keep each other awake.

(Sorry for ranting - I'm generally fed up with with our incompetent govt's disastrous management of pretty much everything, the fuck-wits who keep on voting for them, and an impending second lockdown. Now where was that secluded island.....)

I miss the days when children women (of the non-professional kind) weren't allowed in pubs. They were one of the few day-time places where a person man could go to to be free from the annoyances of women with their kids running around. Now, there hardly exists a place where children women are excluded. I was sat trying to enjoy a beer in a sunny beer garden last week, only to have screaming kids running around, parents women completely disinterested in what their darling offspring were up to.

This is not some kind of an anti-woman “eww, girls, go away” rant; I dislike those.  Rather, it is an observation that I again find myself in the wrong century.

For a nutshell historical illustration of what I mean, consider that the American Prohibition of alcohol was in large part an attack by women’s clubs on de facto men’s clubs.

Whereas if married women (and today we must consider, single mothers) are ordinarily present in pubs, then you cannot reasonably expect to disallow children.  Children come with the women.  It is a part of a package deal; anyone who doesn’t understand that, does not know the first thing about women.  Have cake—no eat, too.  And if non-professional single, childless women go to pubs, then you cannot reasonably expect for them to suddenly stop doing that when they get married and/or have kids.  Life doesn’t work that way.  Eat cake—no have, too.

It seems that what you really want is an exclusive men’s space.  Perhaps modulo the general licence customarily exercised by practitionresses of the oldest profession.


It is personally bizarre that I find myself being the one to point this out.  I am by nature too much of a lone wolf to have ever much sought the company of other men.  If I seek the social company of human creatures, more oft than not, it is with the female species.  For various reasons.  I am too pathologically individualistic to do clubs—note the lack of a hat.  And it has been over ten years since I even set foot in a pub—I’ve got beer at home, where I can drink it naked when so desired, with or without company as so desired.

Sight is sometimes granted by distance...  What?  It’s a social gathering-place for women?  Interesting.  How can you not expect for kids to be there, too?

Aside, I am indeed in the wrong century if #nohomo tags are needed on discussion of men’s sometimes desire to socialize exclusively with other men.

Mask culture. My favorite:

That doesn’t look efficacious to me.  Does it have adequately close and comprehensive coverage of the mouth?  This seems safer:



Seriously, I wear the biggest, meanest N95 mask that I can find.  It covers the whole lower portion of my face (and has a respirator port so that I can breathe).  With sunglasses and a hat, my face is protected from the global pandemic of ubiquitous “security” cameras, Amazon Ring, cameraphone snapshots...  Fork off, facial recognition robots!

Pandemic is only really in it's early days ... 6 months down and 18-24 to run.

... if getting chinese bio-weapon grafted into your genome isn't enough to send you around the twist, then your government's idiotic Orwellian over-reaction (and lack of spine to stand up to china commie scum) will definitely send you over the edge.

... good luck, masks help but most are pretty much just symbolic gestures. Eyewear protection is helpful too ... best is to go to ground on your private island and shoot anyone who looks sick, in a uniform, or the wrong colour.

... second wave is still coming I think, it hasn't mutated to trigger the ADE response in young people second infection yet, maybe they are waiting until enough young uns have been exposed or 'vaccinated' first?

I’m not buying that.  More panic-mongering.  It seems that, against an “idiotic Orwellian over-reaction”, you’re agitating to push for the opposite wrong reaction.

That is how the Marxist dialectic works:  Wrong thesis, wrong antithesis, synthesized to the desired wrong conclusion.  Panic thesis:  Lock down the world into a giant prison!  Panic antithesis:  —What, exactly?  Nuke China?  Just guessing...  Anyway, seeing as how you do not have any nukes, what practical objective are you seeking?

... good luck, masks help but most are pretty much just symbolic gestures. Eyewear protection is helpful too ... best is to go to ground on your private island and shoot anyone who looks sick, in a uniform, or the wrong colour.

Oh, I get it:  Go hide in a corner where you will be irrelevant.  If you can.  Regardless, be very afraid.  Everybody needs to panic—even the opponents of the primary panickers, the dumb masses who are demanding the “idiotic Orwellian over-reaction”.

Synthesis:  Everybody panics.  Global tyrants do whatever they want.  Even the few people who dislike that are too scared to think straight.

What we need is for people to stop panicking, as I have been saying for more than six months.

... I didn't mention panic once, you've repeated it multiple times. If you want to wet your pants in fear with the facts of the situation that's on you ... I'm just laying them out so rational adults can do what rational adults must do.

Chinese commies dumped a bio-weapon on the world ... what now punks?

Functional illiterate whining about words.

As I always say:  If you’re not reading it, it’s not for you.  And indeed, that was not written for you.  Don’t flatter yourself.  I found thereby a salutary moment to express to other readers a point that I’ve had on my mind for awhile now.

... I didn't mention panic once, you've repeated it multiple times.

That is quite deceptive on your part.  N.b. that none of the official government sources uses the word “panic”, either.  It is ironic how you implicitly suggest that somebody is only peddling panic if he says, “Everybody panic now!”

Whereas I will not waste words explaining point by point why your post is panic-mongering.  It is sufficiently obvious for others.

... ahhh, right. Verbal diarhea scattered around the WO everywhere not withstanding ... laying out the facts of the chinese commie bio-weapon drop is only "panic-mongering" for pants-wetters who's brains seize up with fear.

Bermuda Stock Exchange to Have the World’s First Bitcoin ETF.

The world’s first Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) is going to be launched on the Bermuda Stock Exchange (BSX). According to an official statement released by the BSX, the new Bitcoin ETF is going to be called Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF and there will be released to the market 3 million Class E shares.

The new Bitcion ETF has been launched thanks to the Brazilian Fund Manager Hasdex that partnered with the Nasdaq in order to offer investors a safe and regulated Bitcoin ETF product. This would help firms and users get exposure to the crypto market through a traditional investment platform.

For all the fiat to disappear in the Bermuda Triangle.

What if I were Chinese?  I have never said what I am.  Though I let it slip somewhere that I’m not white.  I do have some very racist ideas about white people’s apparently genetic stupidity in wrecking their own cultures and countries.  I think that their brains are flawed.  Anyway, I have not said what I am.

It is difficult to tell.  For example, I am perhaps one of the only people in the world who has been accused of being both a Mossad agent and a neo-Nazi.  Simultaneously.  For the same writings.  People get confused.

For all you know, I’m a Chinese Nazi.  LOL.

Thus having given you something to suck on, I am now done being amused by this little discussion.  No, I do not intend to subject other people (or myself) to endless flamewars with you.

Oh?  So you do wear a hat.

You are forgiven.

Hey!!!!  I am offended by that characterization.

I did not realize that the evidence was conclusive on this point.

Hmm doubt. Unless you just mean you're being a bit naughty with the Covid restrictions as depicted there.

Cos we are all slavishly paying taxes even if just on purchases. We (most of us) cede our power to the state all day long by not organising alternativesa nd for example by sitting back and planning how much of their fiat to 'cash out'.

So not actually analogous to slavery after all, as we seem to be willing participants in the game. idk

Casual reminder that Bitcoin is already higher than the last ATH when you price it in Turkish Lira or an ever increasing number of fiat currencies around the world.

For 82 million people it makes more sense to hold BTC than the national currency. I'd say it's important.
