…Is that incels are innocent.

Rollo Tomassi has a very thought-provoking post on Incels that I’ve been mulling over for a few days. The incel’s place in society is a difficult concept even for a incel like me (if I haven’t timed out of inceldom by age curing my libido) because there’s two types of incels being used in common parlance today. One type is imaginary.

Incels

The issue of potentially violent sexless men is not hard to understand. Our society is entirely gynocentric today; low-SMV men are forced to participate in the gynocracy while simultaneously being punished for not being part of the gynocracy. Cue all kinds of psychiatric issues like sex changes and persecution complexes. But violence, at least in the form of mass murder, is actually rare because it takes a serious level of nihilism to kill lots of strangers for no gain, enough that I doubt virgins on killing sprees is ever going to be a real problem.

Rollo theorizes that such a level of nihilism can be created by the inability to participate in the Blue Pill narrative. I believe that’s not true because lesser levels of violence (drugs, rape-rape, thrill-seeking) can acquire sex even for the most unsexy, not to mention legal alternatives such as porn. Some men are violent and some are sexless; the occasional intersection of the two groups is never going to be a systemic problem for society. While men want to support the gynocracy as a consequence of the Fall, the primary driving force in sexuality for men is sex not approval. Supporting my theory, Rollo himself identifies contributing factors such as fatherlessness & autism.

This is where I segue into the imaginary type of incel, at the fact that male participation in the gynocracy is motivated by the Fall of Eden.

The easiest way for a man to appear high-value to women is to destroy the other men around him. Literally in the case of warlords, metaphorically or rhetorically more commonly. Destroying is always easier than creating.

With the restraint of lifetime monogamy gone, men are in a state of constant competition for female approval. Incels make the easiest target so they’re attacked savagely. Reminiscent of the schoolyard, it’s the manginas at midlevel SMV that do the most bullying because they’re the most insecure about their status.

But their target of violently unstable incels doesn’t exist. It’s still incredibly rare for an incel to go on a killing spree or even force himself on a woman. The hatred is entirely unwarranted with no rationale offered. The manginas NEED incels to be a threat in order to justify the attacks & hatred they want to express regardless.

And there’s the devilish fix. An ever-shrinking pool of men must try ever harder to destroy the men around them ever more thoroughly until his own turn inevitably comes. Cthulhu will eat him last… or not.

Rollo suggests that the problem incels face is having the emotional agility to adopt the Red Pill when it is forced on them before they’re ready. But he doesn’t realize, incels aren’t a byproduct of feminism. They’re the strawman that fuels feminism. If one could push a button and make all incels vanish, feminism would immediately produce a new crop.

The problem our society faces is religious, not sociosexual. Unchecked feminism will leave no survivors, no winners of any kind, yet our society is hurtling into that void as eagerly as it can because supporting Eve’s rebellion is more important than even self-preservation.

That’s why unplugging men from the Matrix is so difficult in the first place. Men want to be led by women. Even successful men. The Goddess is our default religion.

I don’t wonder that the likes of PUAhate exist. Those who’ve been barred from any chance of success naturally hate those who have success, especially if the success appears to come easily–PUA gurus should maybe not sell themselves so aggressively. But it’s one thing to resent success and another to kill Bob because Mike gets laid like tile.

I close with a prediction: most incel rampages will be false flags because the gynocracy NEEDS to hate incels much more than incels need to lash out ineffectively at society.

More specifically, Sacramento is trying to kill us Californians.

http://pjmedia.com/trending/californians-may-have-to-choose-between-showers-and-laundry-with-new-55-gallon-water-limit/

Late last week California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law two bills aimed at conserving water in the drought-stricken state. Unfortunately for California residents, the draconian measures will severely curtail their ability to complete acts of daily living that people in the rest of the U.S. take for granted.things like laundry, showers, and bathing.

On the Senate side, Bill 606 requires the State Water Resources Control Board to adopt “long-term standards for the efficient use of water and would establish specified standards for per capita daily indoor residential water use” in order to comply with another state law that requires California to reduce its per capita water usage by 20 percent by the year 2020.

The board would have authority over all water suppliers, imposing onerous reporting requirements on them to ensure they’re complying with the 20 percent reduction mandate, and imposing fines if they don’t.

Bill 1668, which passed in the Assembly and was signed into law by Brown, goes even further, severely limiting the amount of water Californians can use:

The bill, until January 1, 2025, would establish 55 gallons per capita daily as the standard for indoor residential water use, beginning January 1, 2025, would establish the greater of 52.5 gallons per capita daily or a standard recommended by the department and the board as the standard for indoor residential water use, and beginning January 1, 2030, would establish the greater of 50 gallons per capita daily or a standard recommended by the department and the board as the standard for indoor residential water use. The bill would impose civil liability for a violation of an order or regulation issued pursuant to these provisions, as specified.

Note that this language gives the State Water Resources Control Board.appointed by the governor.to increase the limits on residential water usage at their discretion over the next 12 years. …

(2) For all violations other than those described in paragraph (1), one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each day in which the violation occurs.

Wealthy California residents, however, got a special dispensation from the legislature. There are to be special provisions for swimming pools, spas, “and other water features” that use a lot of water. …

Victor Davis Hanson, writing for City-Journal in 2016, explained the genesis of the California water crisis, writing that Governor Jerry Brown and other Democratic leaders opposed state and federal water projects in the 1970s, leaving “no margin for error in a state now home to 40 million people.”

“Those who did the most to cancel water projects and divert reservoir water to pursue their reactionary nineteenth-century dreams of a scenic, depopulated, and fish-friendly environment enjoy lifestyles predicated entirely on the fragile early twentieth-century water projects of the sort they now condemn,” he said.

Hanson noted at National Review last year that “Over some 50 consecutive months of drought, California did not start work on a single major reservoir . though many had long ago been planned and designed.” Instead, he said, “tens of millions of acre-feet of precious runoff water last year were simply let out to the ocean” due to environmental diversions.

You know that joke about Communism? “If the Soviet Union took control of the Sahara desert, in ten years there’d be a shortage of sand?” It isn’t funny. California has more coastline than any state but Florida & Alaska. But no, they’d rather make me take sponge baths forever than spend money on anything but ugly, fat, childless lesbians and illegal immigrants who can’t be bothered to speak English!

I expect this will get shut down in lawsuits & courts like most such draconian legislation. If this doesn’t then I’ll soon be looking for a new state to move to along with every other Californian who likes good hygeine. Maybe that’s why they’re repopulating the State with ethnics from the Ganges, so nobody will complain about adopting open sewers.

Sacramento was engineering a drought before the real drought came along by dismantling dams and other infrastructure for useless animals nobody cared about. They starved farmers for water until at one point, I recall during the Gov. Schwarzenegger years, an armed revolt by Central Valley farmers was thwarted only by placing river delta irrigation systems under martial law. It didn’t make the papers.

And those “low-flush” toilets? San Francisco mandated them for many years. Then they had to spend over $100 million to clean out the sewers because the toilets didn’t use enough water to wash turds all the way to the treatment plant. Politicians never cared to check that sort of thing, just kept their fingers in the air and up their asses, to keep turds from coming out. Problem solved!

There is plenty of water in California. Our infrastructure is so old that merely plugging the leaks would save MILLIONS of acre-feet per year. We border the largest body of saltwater on the planet and desalination isn’t that expensive. Just tell the eco-Nazis NO.

Or, maybe Sacramento is deliberately mismanaging California in order to crash the system of the United States, Alinsky-style. They’re already in undeclared war against the Federal gov’t on border control.

I ain’t paying no thousand-dollar fine for flushing Jerry Browns down the toilet.

Edit: Found this perfect meme in the comments. H/T Alex DeLarge:

A theory of mine is that men only like to watch the sports they’ve personally played. I never liked watching martial arts until I began doing them myself. Only then did the blurry motions hold any appeal. Only then did I feel, just a little, like a participant when I watched it. I even get wiggly on the sofa while watching.

Bare-knuckles boxing is making a comeback in the United States.

http://www.returnofkings.com/178293/legal-bare-knuckle-fighting-makes-its-first-american-appearance-since-1889

I disapprove despite being a kickboxer who once had a VIP seat to men in plate armor bashing each other with sticks. For me, it’s the blood. Not a squeamish thing; for Christians, the human body is sacred and not to be broken for cheap thrills. God doesn’t approve of people being actually maimed for our entertainment.

Wes The Great had an excellent comment:

The Roman coliseum all over again. It was nerds, quiet and civilized men, cultured men, and men who only fought when they needed to who actually built this nation. Civilization/culture etc was built by intelligence, not by this BS. If you think masculinity is a bunch of low IQ animals beating their faces in than you are a fucking retard, and in all reality you actually agree with feminists on toxic masculinity. This crap is fucking garbage. To me these fighters are no different than whores in porn.they are just low IQ losers who have one specific skillset and one specific mentality who only exist to satisfy the pathetic masses with shallow, superficial drama/entertainment. Fighting is tough, and a lot of these men have some huge balls, but it is still trash. It is like saying a whore in porn is brave because she is cool with degrading herself on camera. Two different industries, but from a consumer standpoint it is all the same shit. Not saying that competition and fighting is inherently bad, the complete opposite, but this shit is PPV crap designed to be trashing and overly dramatic. There is no honor, tradition, NOTHING in these type of fighting events.

He’s right. The nerd, not the thug, is the apex of patriarchy… so slouching back to spilling blood for money is a bad sign. There’s even a difference between risking human life in a daredevil stunt, where the guy hopes to survive unharmed even while taking insane chances, and beating human life into hamburger for ratings.

Still, it was heartening that 28 states refused this event even though the preceding one, a few years back on an Amerind reservation, got a million views. Bad year for cattle, Wyoming?

Not that I ever played or followed American football anyway, but I didn’t like the NFL because it did nothing to discourage severe steroid use, playing through severe body trauma or other violations of the body. The concussion scandals alone would have forced a total revamp of the league had the commissioners any respect for human life. The players were well-paid for the damage they inflicted upon themselves but that’s like saying fornication is okay if you have a good time. Rarely does money turn sin into a virtue.

Bloodsport isn’t Christian. Isn’t even necessary. We have many better ways to be entertained, including the simple put the damn gloves back on.

I tried something new this election by not researching the candidates and instead voting for the most cracker-white male-sounding name I could find on the ballot. (None of my picks win anyway.) Can you judge a politician by his cover? Let’s see if I like who I voted for!

Governor Nickolas Wildstar. Sounds kinda Greek but he was against names like Klement Tinaj, Zoltan Istvan & J. Bribiesca. …damn, he’s a Rastafarian Occupier? -1

Lt. Gov. Danny Thomas. A good old boy name… Can’t tell what he stands for, which counts as good because no virtue-signaling. +1.

(Who the heck is Lt. Gov. Cameron Gharabiklou? Hmm, white not hindu… a trial lawyer who ran for office because of the “disastrous 2016 presidential election”. No vote for you!)

Senator Don Grundmann. This was a gimmie because I’ve met Don and believe it or not, he’s a Red-Pill California politician. Thus far, two political parties have self-destructed rather than give him a chance to reimpose Patriarchy.

http://www.fight-the-power.org/issues/

But alas, Dianne Palpatine-Feinstein got 45% of the vote even with 32 names on the ballot.

SecState Mark Meuser. His main concern is vote fraud–very good–but he also wants to increase vote participation–very bad–and wants electronic voting, which is incompatible with reducing vote fraud. -1

Treasurer Greg Conlon. White (and a CPA, which was on the ballot) but a piece of shit who wants to protect pensions, improve California’s debt rating so it can borrow more money and make the positions of Treasurer and Controller unelected. -2

Attorney General Steven C. Bailey. Pro-death penalty, pro-private guns, anti-sanctuary state & drug war hardliner. I’m in love. +2

Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner. Eh, I feel indifferent. Didn’t slam Obamacare and thinks cybercrime is caused by a lack of gov’t effort rather than female empowerment. Granted, that connection is not an obvious one. 0

Point total: -1. Sigh, guess I gotta keep doing my research come election time.

In other news, all propositions offering new debts passed. Stopping them is the real reason I vote… sigh again. “Do you want to spend other peoples’ money on your favorite pet causes? Yes/No”

Had an exchange on Dalrock’s in which I proposed that God’s desire for human companionship is comparable to male sexuality in strength.

https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2018/05/30/hysteria-grips-man-up-headquarters/

I didn’t think it would be as objectionable as it turned out to be; after all, it’s commonly accepted that God designed marriage (and by extension, human sexuality) to be symbolic of the desired relationship between Christ and the Church. Is it unreasonable, then, to think the male sex drive is meant to illustrate the strength of God’s jealous desire for human followers? We always focus on the Church “bride” being loyal and obedient without thinking much about the male side. What’s in it for God?

Here’s the situation: We humans have nothing of material value to offer God. He can make servants more capable and loyal than humans in unlimited numbers. He made reality in one week. And yet, God is constantly involved with humanity to the point of living and dying as a human. He sacrificed Himself “while we were yet sinners”. (Romans 5:8) Maybe we Christians are just overexposed to this but come on, Crucifying yourself to forgive your enemies is not a rational, calm, impartial decision.

If all God wanted was obedient humans then He would have nuked Adam & Eve and started over. He wouldn’t have spared Noah when He finally resorted to the hard reset. He would not be tolerating the devil running loose today.

Again, what is God getting for His sacrifice? For all the centuries He’s invested in us? He’s either getting something of great value or behaving randomly. Answer, what He *is* getting from us is gratitude. Hero worship. Respect. So, that’s what God must want… badly enough to literally die for it.

We live in an age in which nobody asks what the husband wants out of a marriage. We simply assume that men keep jumping into the marriage grinder. I don’t just mean the feminists and Churchians, either; common Manosphere advice is that the only reason to marry is to have children. Which is still neglecting men’s primary motivation to get married. We’re never going to have healthy marriages until the male desire for sex is acknowledged, emphasized and centralized.

Similarly, we aren’t going to understand God’s involvement with humanity until we understand and cooperate with His motivation in doing so. It isn’t obedience; that was the lesson of the Old Testament. “Follow my rules and I’ll be nice to you.” Epic fail. Pharisaical letter-perfect obedience. Epic fail. New Testament: “God with us”. Epic win. Even in the OT, badly disobedient men like Samson and Jonah were still highly regarded, or at least never abandoned, by God.

Feral women who won’t put out for hubby remind me of the Book of Judges. The people suffer, God cares and rescues them, but instead of being grateful the people turn on Him the moment immediate danger has passed. Stupid for the humans… but God kept falling for the scam like He didn’t know any better. One would think a purely rational God wouldn’t make mistakes like that. One would be right.

Simply put, God is eager for our admiration and respect in the same way an ordinary guy is eager for porn star sex, up to and including making a fool of himself in the effort to get it. This is apparently a scandalous thought. People would rather think of God as some impartial, remote observer who doesn’t really care about us but wants to help us get things right on general principles, or something. To the contrary, God chose to live His mortal life almost entirely as an ordinary guy in small-town Israel. He chose to have friends instead of being a superhero demigod righting all the wrongs of the blood-soaked Roman Empire.

God’s problem with humanity is not that we do wrong or have problems or are limited in capability. His problem is we don’t appreciate Him as much as He badly wants us to.

They say Hell hath no fury like a jilted lover. They’re mistaken. The architect of Hell IS the Jilted Lover: God. Consider that after God claims His followers, He’s going to torture the remainder of humanity for eternity in order to savor the pleasure of their hopeless, doomed screams. Deleting them from reality instead would be more efficient and merciful; God clearly doesn’t intend to be efficient or merciful with them ever again.

Meanwhile, I plan to get a free ride through eternity by being useless, fun and grateful. I’ll be useless anyway so yeah, I’ll make a point of getting the frisky on however God likes it.

The Manosphere has a serious problem with Greener Grass Syndrome. So many people don’t have our troubles with feminism… until one scratches the surface and discovers the other half isn’t doing any better. This problem crops up regularly on blogs and websites as frustrated men try to convince themselves that Shangri-La is an achievable goal.

Are parts of Africa more patriarchal than the West? No doubt, because poverty prevents Africans from ignoring reality as long as the West can. That doesn’t make poverty a noble virtue. It doesn’t mean Africans won’t go feminist the moment they can afford to.

Is China doing better than USA & UK? Every metric says yes. Every metric is produced by government and China is a totalitarian government that doesn’t think twice about cooking the books. Its people could starve during a “good harvest” and nobody would blink.

Will Islam get you more sex than Christianity? Of course, because Christianity doesn’t permit raping your enemies’ children, running slave harems or threatening to murder police if they get between you and your fun.

I’m waiting for the Manosphere to realize drug gangs are “patriarchy” because gangers swim in cash & chicks until their lives end at age 19 in handcuffs or gunfire. It’s a perfect metaphor for the problem we face: every solution we find will work until we try it.

Truth is, history doesn’t just repeat. History is a factory. The eternal intersexual conflict between men & women serves no practical purpose and is both a disproof to evolution, which claims we’ve been optimized through billennia of trial & error, and proof that we are badly flawed as a created species. Either God made a very bad mistake when He made us or our experience confronting matriarchy is a lesson He is so desperate for us to learn that He created an entire reality for no other reason.

There is no solution to embrace. No safe space to move to. No greener grass. Sometimes things are better, sometimes worse, but we all must confront & endure this flaw inside us. The flaw that always encourages women to rebel against men and men to feel really good about helping her do it.

[Stockton Mayor Michael] Tubbs, a Stockton native and Stanford graduate who is all of 27 years old, wants to give at least $500 a month to a select group of residents. They’ll be able to spend it as they wish, for 18 months, in a pilot program to test the impact of what’s called guaranteed basic income.

http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-lopez-stockton-money-05272018-story.html

More welfare from a Dindu Mayor. Yawn. Tubby is a fatherless negro who grew up in both poverty and enough money to attend Stanford, who also graduated (presumably) at age 22 and became mayor of a major U.S. city at 26. He’s clearly a spoiled brat of a welfare recipient whose major achievement in life is leveraging white guilt. Just another bipedal mouthpiece for greed.

Stockton is [also] about to award stipends of up to $1,000 a month to residents deemed most likely to shoot somebody. This program is called Advance Peace, and it’s modeled after a crime reduction program in the Bay Area city of Richmond.

Another yawn. More welf… HOLY SHIT!

The idea is that a small number of people are responsible for a large percentage of violence, and offering them an alternative path . with counseling and case management over an 18-month period, along with a stipend if they stay the course . can be a good investment all around.

“Let me be clear, Advance Peace is not a get out of jail free card,” Tubbs wrote in explaining the program on Stockton’s public safety website. “Participating in this program doesn’t erase the past, but it does help these young men learn how to make better choices for their own and our community’s collective future.”

There’s a difference between a vision and a hallucination, and time will tell with Tubbs. But I like the young man’s mix of rebelliousness, impatience and willingness to take risks.

No, you editorializing journalist hack, it’s a hallucination. You get more of what you subsidize! Why is this hard? If you give free money to hair-triggered murder hobos then you get more hair-triggered murder hobos! Why is this hard? Mein Gott, Tubby has found a better way to destroy a city than rent control.

Tubbs attended a San Francisco conference on [UBI] topics last year and met Natalie Foster of the Economic Security Project, whose ambitious goal is to find ways to lift people out of poverty and to rebuild the middle class. Foster co-chairs the project with Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes.

“Actually modeled after the Alaska Permanent Fund,” [Tubbs] wrote. “Are you familiar with it?” The Alaska fund shares the wealth on state oil revenues, awarding residents roughly $2,000 a year.

Alaska pays people to live there because it wants to grow its population. Like I said, you get more of what you subsidize. There are currently three reasons to live in Alaska: oil field work, revenue sharing and mosquito ranching. Stockton does not have these problems (other than breeding parasites).

By the way, the middle class is what you get when you don’t have strong, centralized government. Using government tyranny to free people from the consequences of government tyranny makes me think liberalism is cognitive dissociation between cause and effect.

So, what’s this “Advance Peace” initiative turd that Richmond tried?

http://www.advancepeace.org/about/

In 2009, the police department of Richmond, California, told DeVone Boggan, then the director of the city’s Office of Neighborhood Safety, that less than 30 men were responsible for 70% of the city’s gun crime, which contributed to the city’s less than flattering distinction of being ranked among the top 12 most dangerous cities in America. The following year, Boggan responded by creating and launching the Peacemaker Fellowship. model, which would become the core of Advance Peace.

You know what you do in this situation? You go President Duterte on those 29 animals in their city of 103,700 and there’s no more gun crime, not today and not tomorrow. You don’t try to understand how poverty drove them to armed robbery of innocents. You don’t pay them danegeld and welding classes in return for not murdering. You end them in the street gutter, publicly laugh about ending them and put in a call to Roadkill Abatement for body disposal. Their last stop, the municipal burn barrel. Sic semper human trash.

Hmm, that paragraph appears to be everything the website has to say about its program. Big red flag when a liberal program doesn’t want to explain itself in detail.

Let’s keep digging.

http://www.drkfoundation.org/organization/advance-peace/

As Director of ONS, Founder DeVone Boggan was responsible for the development, implementation and management of comprehensive approaches to reducing firearm assaults, preventing retaliation associated with firearm conflict, and transforming the lives of the city’s most lethal young men.

This article is a good springboard for discussing various types of fraud in Commiefornia:

http://hotair.com/archives/2018/05/29/california-motor-voter-program-registers-thousands-voters-twice/

The forms that arrived at county elections offices were identical except for the voters’ party preferences. On a sampling of forms reviewed by The [LA] Times, citizens who were listed as a member of a political party on the first registration document were instead listed as an unaffiliated “no party preference” voter on a second document that arrived a week later.

A DMV spokeswoman said Wednesday the system was built by the state Department of Technology and was tested prior to last month’s launch.

County elections officials have been contacting the voters and correcting the errors since they received the first forms on May 5.

“We believe it’s fixed,” said Secretary of State Alex Padilla. “We feel we have our arms around it. We’ve rectified it, and we’ve given proper guidance to the counties.”

Padilla’s staff noticed the errors shortly after the April 23 launch of the California Motor Voter program, created by legislation signed into law in 2015.

Three years to link the DMV database to voter databases? That’s way more time than is needed. Six months tops, three months if the gov’t hires nonunion. It’s a major red flag when politicians want an election cycle to pass before the consequences of what they just enacted are realized.

The program makes voter registration a part of the DMV driver’s license process for every eligible citizen. While voter registration isn’t required, people who are uninterested must make it clear on a touch-screen device that they want to opt out. Californians who are already registered to vote can update their address or party affiliation during a DMV appointment.

The tyranny sequence is “opt in”, then “opt out”, then “opt out only during the three working days before Thanksgiving”, then cancelling the option to opt out as a line item deep inside some omnibus bill. Why is automatic inclusion so important?

“…The system, often referred to as “automatic voter registration,” has been under development for more than two years. Key to its success was the full rollout of California’s statewide voter database . a project that was more than a decade late when it debuted in March 2016. Historically, there were separate voter rolls in each of the state’s 58 counties. Local officials collaborated across county lines, but there was no easily updatable list of all California voters.

Centralization is why automatic inclusion is so important. California is assembling massive, massive centralized databases on everybody and it’s hard to assemble them when participation is opt-in voluntary. Used to be, the Democrats needed 58 parallel teams of “community organizers” to defraud the American people. With this new, soon-to-be-mandatory database, they’ll need only one.

The California Motor Voter Act also required a substantial change in DMV license procedures. For more than two decades, registering to vote has been an option at the agency’s offices. But the new law makes it a routine part of obtaining a license, as long as the driver is legally eligible. Non-citizens aren’t offered the chance to register to vote.

Or do they mean, aren’t allowed to opt out of registering to vote? Pesky glitches.

The full program has yet to be rolled out. Local elections officials said this week they hope to learn more about how voter registration files will be sent to them for final verification.

“It’s not entirely clear how this will work,” said Gail Pellerin, registrar of voters in Santa Cruz County.

A confusing, complicated process that nobody really understands is a great way to cover your tracks.

Nor is there clarity about why the California Motor Voter program was rolled out just six weeks before a statewide election.

The original launch date was pushed back by two weeks and then delayed again after officials said additional testing was needed. There was no public notice when it was turned live on April 23.

Another way to hide your tracks is artificial time pressure so your opponents are overwhelmed. They couldn’t wait seven weeks after working on it for three years?

[SecState] Padilla said it was important to expand access to voter registration for the June primary, which in non-presidential years has had noticeably low turnout.

In some communities, the DMV’s automated system is already poised to dramatically expand the size of the electorate. Foote says Inyo County, home to just 9,674 voters at the time of the last statewide report, has processed more than 600 new registrations in just the past three weeks. While most have been without incident, she said the initial errors could give pause to voters who worry about the accuracy of elections.

Look, if people don’t want to vote then automating the registration process will only create lots and lots of ballots lying around that won’t ever be filled out by the voter… or even missed by the voter. You wouldn’t leave your credit card numbers active in the bank’s computer after shredding the cards, would you? Of course not. That’s an open door for fraud. And apparently, a pressing need in Sacramento.

And all those loose ends are now collected in a single database for easy access.

I’ll criticize the New York Post while offering my own advice. Twofer!

http://nypost.com/2018/05/27/congrats-class-of-2018-how-to-land-a-job-when-youre-ready/

According to the employment-oriented Web site LinkedIn, if you haven’t secured a post-college job before graduation, the sweet spot for snagging your first position as a career professional is between April and June.

Ironically, that’s the same time period during which 65 percent of the Class of 2018 plans to “take it easy.” The slackers believe .#ItWillWorkOut. whenever they happen to be ready, reports the Tylt, a social polling and opinion platform that focuses on millennials.

Not ironically. Most jobs become available in the spring because of corporate bookkeeping. April is a major filing deadline for businesses as well as you. Tax seasons are loosely quarterly but spring is special because seasonal industries like construction & tourism come out of winter hibernation at about the same time. Employers tend to delay hiring until they know what the year’s budget and workload will be. If you don’t find a job quickly at graduation then there’s commonly a secondary hiring spike around October/November, again a bookkeeping thing more than a Christmas thing, but otherwise why not be a ski bum for a winter?

So it’s up to you, grad. Have your choice of jobs now, or choose from the leftovers later.

If you can get work in your selected field then great. But you probably can’t right away so the best option is finding low-level work that relates to what you want to do. Temp agencies if you’re the accounting type, deliveryman if you want fieldwork, private security or lifeguard if you’re inclined towards the public sector and so on. This is the best way to overcome “needing experience to get experience”.

It also helps to know where your major can take you. A recent study by LinkedIn reveals that your college major may qualify you for jobs you didn’t consider. People with degrees in marketing often get hired as recruiters. Communications majors can end up in marketing and production roles. Psychology majors win entry-level jobs as research assistants, administrative assistants and case managers. .Think outside the classroom,. says Blair Decembrele, LinkedIn’s career expert.

This is code for “if you majored in communications, marketing or psychology then you’re screwed and better take any job you can get”. Which is true but even so, you should try to get a job in what your degree is because that’s why you got it in the first place and it gives you a leg up on the competition; probably your only leg up when starting out.

Experts have one tip for all job seekers: Don’t spend more than 20 percent of your time applying for jobs on Internet job sites . 80 percent of us get jobs through someone we know.

Then the Baby Boomers decided to hire third-world wage slaves instead of their own sons and here we are, in a land where 80 percent of us get jobs though social media. Get with the Nineties already, you “industry experts”.

If your parents/uncle give you your first job then I’m happy for you. If that isn’t you then you’re reading this article and Craigslist is your friend. Most employers don’t want to make a huge production out of hiring. Half a dozen resumes per position is good for most companies and Craigslist is the oldest, most local and most accessible jobsite for the average employer.

Shopping yourself in-person to every company in an area is only awkward. If they have a opening then it’s probably on the Internet. Human Resources will not keep your application on file.

Personal story: When I was young and hungry, I went to several megacorp-sponsored job fairs. Got to talking with the next guy at an aerospace one. He told me that most of the guys waiting in line to talk to the recruiter were former employees here to be rehired. Aerospace is project-oriented work so the executives’ habit was firing everybody when a job was completed or product line shut down. The workers (including high-level engineers) went en masse to other companies for another specific job, got fired again, and eventually came back to their original employer to be rehired and used for another cycle. When you see a large company offering a huge number of jobs, this may be what’s going on… in which case, your only way in is to be invited in. I’ve no idea how a new kid does that.

Employers also value soft skills almost as much as hard skills, says millennial employment expert Bruce Tulgan, author of “Bridging the Soft Skills Gap: How to Teach the Missing Basics to Today’s Young Talent. (Wiley). Teamwork tops the list. Tulgan suggests pulling an example from real life, showing that you understand your place and how you contribute to the team. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, he says.

This is code-talk for Diversity Hiring. Hard skills is what white men have (along with some Asians & Latinos). It’s illegal for an employer to discriminate but they’re rewarded by the gov’t if they do. If you’re a one-armed nigress named La’Keeshu then by all means, add a picture of yourself to your resume so the recruiter will know you check three Diversity boxes. Excuse me, “soft skills”.

If you’re white & male then you can still put a pic on a resume. If they’re going to discriminate against you then it’ll save you the effort of a meatspace interview. I like to see a picture myself because I screen for visible tattoos, weird piercings, problem glasses, strange haircuts, androgyny and spaghetti arms. Many employers do that but even more are uncomfortable judging by appearances.

…Aside from being racist against white male Christians. (I might be biased from living in California.) I regret to say that racism is a thing in hiring these days. Everybody will do it and nobody will talk about it. There’s a lot about hiring that nobody will talk about so treat it like a numbers game.

If you’re going to take time off, don’t stay idle too long, says Dan Schawbel, a millennial workplace expert and the author of the forthcoming “Back to Human: How Great Leaders Create Connection in the Age of Isolation. (Da Capo, out in November). .Corporations tend to hire people who are passionate about their work,. he says.

Speaking for Silicon Valley, corporations hire slaves who know to stay on the plantation… that’s the ‘passionate’ part. Myself, I don’t mind employment gaps so long as the gap wasn’t spent sponging on worker’s comp or other welfare for the obvious reason that I don’t want to pay for your next “gap”.

Realistically, so long as you do good work while on the clock then most employers won’t give a care about enthusiasm. Passionate about your work, come on, most of us don’t work dream jobs. On-time and good attitude, the box is checked, so keep a good attitude doing those McJobs while looking for your break. Trust me, it’s an enduring life skill.

So if you can’t find a job right away, learn a useful skill that you can teach yourself, pick up from a friend, or learn via a free or reasonably priced course online.

Schawbel suggests something that’s high in demand like computer programming, social media, Web site development or even artificial intelligence if you’re really ambitious. Once you are done, find a freelance job using the skill.

He doesn’t know what life is like outside the tech sector. Don’t constantly train for new skills. Do yourself a favor and work fun gigs if your search stalls. You’re young, you can take time off from job hunting to be a rafting guide or something. Never forget to enjoy your life the best you reasonably can.

Sending a thank-you e-mail within 12 hours [of the interview] is my top recommendation,. says Wessel. If you want to really impress your prospective employer, she suggests hand delivering a written note the next day. .Don’t worry about coming off as too desperate . you’re a recent grad, and they know you want the job,. she says.

Shrug, I’ve never heard of a manager refusing to hire someone because they didn’t say thank you. I’m not doing you a favor by interviewing you; it’s in my own best interest and I won’t forget your existence, either, until I make a hiring decision. For my part, I won’t send you an apology for not hiring you because honesty would cause me trouble. Thin-skinned morons can’t handle rejection but they can sue quite easily.

The competition for jobs in a densely populated area like New York can be tough. .If possible, try not to be too picky about where you work from a location perspective,. says Wessel. .Lots of great companies are hiring in locations you may never expect, and sometimes, you just need to enter the door in that location, work your way up, and then after a year or two, you can likely make the argument for moving to an office that you.d rather be in..

This dumbass doesn’t know it’s raining outside. “Don’t be afraid to relocate to get your first job even if you have to leave NYC”… who is this Wessel? WayUp CEO Liz Wessel… hmm… damn, she’s my next blog post. Let’s just say that men can’t “work your way up” the way she did.

So, new grads, spend a month or two finding work in your expertise if you can. If not then find a temporary job to pay the bills and build a somewhat-related work history as you settle in for the long haul of today’s employment market for natural-born male citizens. Live clean, keep fit, watch the boards, don’t stress about being the Best Candidate Ever and don’t put your life on hold while you search. And stay out of debt. Debt is slavery.

For the funny files.

A Marin County rape suspect told a judge Thursday that he would not have committed such a crime because .I.m a good-looking guy. and the accuser “is 300 pounds, no exaggeration..

Izell Lewis, 26, of San Rafael, also denied the allegations in a separate case in which he is charged with exposing himself to an Uber driver and masturbating in front of her. That allegedly occurred while he was free on bail in the rape case.

Lewis, a competitive boxer and fitness trainer, made the comments after a lengthy day of court proceedings in which he asserted his constitutional right to be his own lawyer.

Judge Andrew Sweet consented reluctantly after vetting Lewis. comprehension of his actions.

.This is a terrible idea,. Sweet said.

http://www.marinij.com/general-news/20180412/marin-rape-suspects-defense-accuser-is-300-pounds

Izell Lewis

Gotta agree with the judge on this one, although an “I’m a small guy and she’s 300 pounds, who forced who upon whom?” defense is worth exploring. Presuming innocence until conviction is hard when one is charged with indecent exposure while on parole for rape after firing his lawyer to make an “I’m too sexy to dumpster dive” defense.

The lawyer had just completed the legwork on invalidating the evidence’s search warrant.

They say that hypergamy encourages women to breed with the genetic fittest of men. But who would have guessed that the genetic fittest of men are overwhelmingly convicted felons and gymbros? Meanwhile, Izell is living proof that being Alpha doesn’t mean you have a future.

I visited Monterey last week to see “Weird Al” Yankovic perform live. It was a fun night and Weird Al wasn’t nearly as fat as I’d feared he might be. (To get that joke, look up “weird al fat” on youTube for the music video.) I made an evening of it, of course, and while wandering the streets I saw this billboard. I took the picture myself and swear it isn’t Photoshopped.

The Monterey County Dept. of Child Support Services literally spelled it “Child $upport”. In public. On an advertising billboard.

This 21st Century headline via Instapundit reveals that Phil Ting of the California Assembly is exploring a new kind of slavery for the people of California: workplace threatpoint.

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/05/23/california-lawmakers-vote-to-expand-gun-restraining-orders-but-aclu-says-bill-goes-too-far

California, and a handful of other states, have laws that allow family members, roommates, and law enforcement to request a restraining order to remove firearms from an individual who has shown signs of dangerous behavior.

On Monday, according to KOVR-TV, California lawmakers voted in favor of a bill expanding that power to employers, co-workers and school personnel.

But the American Civil Liberties Union, rarely a conservative ally, says the bill goes too far, and joined some California Republicans in expressing concern over the measure.

The ACLU said in a statement that measures restricting those with mental health issues from buying or owning a gun “are too often not evidence-based, reinforce negative stereotypes, and raise significant equal protection, due process, and privacy issues..

…The bill passed the state Assembly 48-25, and will now head to the Senate.

This doesn’t make the ACLU our friend, or course. But when one of the most converged organizations in North America thinks you’re too converged, it’s obviously time to stop and get professional help.

Democratic Assemblyman Phil Ting, who sponsored the bill, said the expansion is necessary to cover adults who don’t have connections with family and who live alone.

.Once you move away from home and you’re an adult, you may not spend time with your family,. Ting told the Huffington Post. .You may not have much interaction with law enforcement, but chances are if you’re working, you see your co-workers every day for eight-plus hours a day, and you’re with them not just in the work environment but socially..

He definitely puts the “commune” in Communist, wanting everybody to spy on everybody and inform on them to the State. Orwellian to the ninth degree, or should we say, the ninth circle. This is two different kinds of slavery combined: disarmament and presumption of guilt. It’s the same thing as what Dalrock calls “threatpoint” in marriage. It’s not that your wife is actively destroying you, it’s that she can do it anytime for any reason and you have no defense if she does. It’s proven to be very effective for controlling behavior. Ting is giving your coworkers similar authority to screw you if you’re the “wrong” kind of person. The “gun-owning” kind of person.

I perused Ting’s official website for a couple bonus chestnuts of iniquity.

http://a19.asmdc.org/

Ting on May 11: “With May [Revised budget] revenues higher than expected, our economy and job market are clearly healthy. In these times of prosperity, we need to make sure we bring all Californians along for the ride.”

Ting on May 9: “A record number of hard working individuals and families — over 1.2 million — have already claimed their earned CA Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC), an effective anti-poverty program in the state with the highest poverty rate in the nation. These numbers have tripled from last year and are expected to continue to rise given the credit can be claimed after tax day through the end of the year.”

It took 48 hours for Ting to go from “record participation in an anti-poverty program in the state with the highest poverty rate in the nation” to “our economy and job market are clearly healthy”. The guy is a shameless tax-and-spender.

Next, “San Francisco Rabbi Honored During Holocaust Remembrance Week” on April 16:

Assemblymember Phil Ting honored Rabbi Carla Fenves during the California State Assembly’s annual recognition of Holocaust Remembrance Week. She is the granddaughter of two Holocaust survivors, Ervin and Vera Fenves of Hungary. During World War II, Vera survived by hiding in the kitchen of a righteous gentile family’s restaurant.

“Righteous gentile” means “Christian”, not that either of these people would care to admit or reward that. Is even Judaism suffering female leadership now? A pedoface giving a “your grandparents’ achievement” award to a man-jawed witch seems so appropriate in Current Year.

Santa Clarita is the first city in Los Angeles County to support Trump’s lawsuit. I should make a map.

“After six hours of debate, with heated discussion on both sides . until 1 a.m. . the Santa Clarita City Council voted unanimously to formally oppose SB 54, the “Sanctuary State” law.”

http://www.hometownstation.com/santa-clarita-news/politics/santa-clarita-city-council-votes-to-oppose-sanctuary-state-law-232750

All five council members approved a motion to draft a brief in support of the federal government’s lawsuit against the state of California for Senate Bill 54, the California Values Act, commonly known as the “sanctuary” law during their May 8 meeting.

…The United States is seeking a preliminary injunction that would prohibit enforcement of the new laws while the case is pending. The hearing on the preliminary injunction is currently set for June 20.

The deadline for filing a brief in opposition to the federal lawsuit is May 18, but the deadline to show support for lawsuit has passed, according to court documents.

Mr. Trump, why are you wasting time on this lawsuit? Arrest the traitors and child rapists in Sacramento already. At the rate you’re going, you won’t get anything done before reelection time. Don’t drain the swamp. Burn it.

Carlsbad, CA joins the White House’s lawsuit against California’s treason against border security.

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Carlsbad-City-Council-Votes-to-Support-trump-Administration-Lawsuit-Targeting-States-Sanctuary-Laws-483292561.html

Carlsbad has just become the latest city to revolt against California’s so-called “sanctuary state” laws.

In a special meeting Monday night [GQ: May 21, 2018], council members voted 4 to 1 to support the Trump Administration’s lawsuit against the California Values Act. Councilmember Cori Schumacher was the dissenting vote.

…Councilwoman Cori Schumacher noted there are dozens of misdemeanors and felony criminal acts that allow local and federal agencies to communicate.

This is becoming a common pattern. Illegal immigrants are afraid to cooperate with police because they afraid of being arrested & deported for being illegal immigrants. Criminals won’t be good citizens so long as they’re treated like criminals. Never mind that criminals, by definition, have already chosen to not be good citizens.

Carlsbad will have to wait until a pending case reaches the appellate level to join the federal government’s lawsuit. That could take at least a year.

In the meantime, within the next month, the council is scheduled to approve a resolution supporting the federal government’s lawsuit.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted to join the lawsuit in April, and the San Diego City Council voted last week to join an amicus brief opposing the Trump administration’s lawsuit.

Ah, both city & county of San Diego are now on board.

God will let you own guns but not use them. That is the official position of Christianity Today magazine according to Editor-in-Chief Mark Galli. (Posted May 18)

http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2018/june/god-hates-gun-violence.html

Violence enters the human story from nearly the beginning: .While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. (Gen. 4:8).

The Genesis narrative notes that violence soon becomes endemic. In a mere two chapters, we read, .Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. (Gen. 6:11). And “God said to Noah, .I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. . (Gen. 6:13).

God hates violence. We see that especially in the prophets.

Ezekiel: .He [God] said to me, .Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the people of Judah to do the detestable things they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence and continually arouse my anger?. . (8:17).

Hosea: .Ephraim feeds on the wind; he pursues the east wind all day and multiplies lies and violence. (12:1).

Obadiah: “Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever. (v. 10).

If the Bible is to be trusted, violence is cause for divine destruction of the people who practice and countenance it.

So, God gets a violence pass?

Notice Galli jumped straight from Cain to Ezekiel, bypassing the Patriarchs, the entire Mosaic Law and all the history books of the OT. Remember how Abraham used his private army to rescue Lot from an alliance of four kings in Genesis 14:14-16? Remember all those mandated death penalties in Leviticus? Remember when God let His people be butchered because they didn’t exterminate even the valuables of Jericho in Joshua 7? Remember King “Man of Blood” David, the first person in recorded history to command “slay the witnesses” in 1 Samuel 27:11?

How about Jesus of Nazareth, the carpenter whose only recorded construction was a whip for the backsides of nonviolent moneychangers?

Mark Galli, you are a lying sack of shit and a false Christian. You’ve no excuse to be this stupid about Scripture. But now things get interesting: your magazine take a political position of significance.

Americans might take note. It nearly goes without saying the United States is a violent culture. Yes, places like El Salvador, Honduras, Venezuela, and Jamaica have much higher per capita murder rates. But compare the United States with other high-income countries, and we see this: According to 2010 data from the World Health Organization, gun homicide rates range from 0 (UK) to 3 (Finland) deaths per million. No country comes anywhere close to the US rate of 36.

Once nice thing about cuckservatives, they love to undermine their own arguments. America is violent!.. but not as murderous as these other places… but if you only look at firearm homicide then the UN thinks we’re awful. Shrug, okay. I can live with that.

By the way, UK gun homicide may be nil but their knife/stick homicide rate is so high that they’re doing police raids on hardware stores. And dare I mention their lorry homicide rate? Why is Galli singling out firearms as “the” source of violence?

When it comes to countries with the most mass shootings between 1966 and 2012, among other developed nations, France experienced 10, Russia had 15, and the Philippines had 18. The US? 90.

90 seems low. It can’t even cover the Seventies, what with all those Communists on shooting-bombing sprees. I think Galli is cherrypicking his violence stats too tightly. America is much more violent than he’s letting on.

But the violence isn’t coming from law-abiding gun owners.

…Then again, when assault weapons were banned in the US between 1994 and 2004, it had little effect on gun crime overall (to be clear, only 2 percent of gun crimes before the ban involved assault weapons). If the ban contributed to a decrease in mass shootings, the rates were minor.

Again, Galli undermines his own (imminent) call for gun banning. This begs the question, why were liberals keen on banning such a contextually insignificant class of firearm? Because they want to ban all firearms and MILITARY ASSAULT WEAPONS! tugged on Soccer Mom’s heartstrings enough to set the needed precedents.

“Here.s how CT views the issue: Owning guns is legitimate, and guns have reasonable recreational uses, including sport shooting and hunting. But guns are one of many potentially dangerous items of everyday life.like driving, like making fires, like flying. To make society safer, we regulate such activities.”

CT is dead wrong. The reason we have private firearm ownership is so we can kill and replace the government when it becomes a threat to us. This is not my opinion. It is the Founders’ opinion, the Founders who wrote the Second Amendment after fighting off a government that had become a threat to us… with privately owned firearms. Nobody ever organized a militia to fight ducks.

Counter to arguments from the National Rifle Association, to regulate rights does not restrict freedom but actually makes it possible.

BULLSHIT! YOU ARE TEN POUNDS OF BULLSHIT IN A FIVE-POUND BAG!

We Christians, for example, champion the right to practice religion freely while gladly submitting to building and zoning codes, noise laws, and many other “restrictions” for the sake of community harmony.

You also gladly submit to IRS regulation 501c3 which directly restricts your religious freedom for the sake of government harmony. From CT’s website:

“? 2018 Christianity Today – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.”

501c3 makes religious freedom profitable… er, possible… for you… ah, I see how you get ‘restricting freedom makes freedom possible’.

So while we support the legitimacy of owning guns, given the violence of our land and God’s hatred of violence, we also see a need to regulate the purchase and use of guns. In particular, we Christians should work to ban weapons whose main purpose is to kill a lot of people very quickly [GQ: killing faster is the purpose of every weapon], to keep guns in general out of the hands of unstable personalities [GQ: dissidents, historically speaking], and to ensure that everyone who buys and owns guns can demonstrate they know how to use and store them safely [GQ: because gun safes are so damn complicated].

Will this alone eliminate American violence? Hardly. The problem runs too deeply in our veins as descendants of Cain.

AGAIN, you undermine your own argument. You admit your ideas won’t work even if you get everything you asked for. Do even you believe what you say? I weep to imagine that there is a single devout Christian on the planet who is so ignorant of Scripture and history that he cannot recognize you as a Marxist slaver. But there you are, editor-in-chief of a major Christian newsmagazine. Perhaps you’re a better liar than I give you credit for, Mr. Galli.

But you are no Christian. Disarming the innocent and lying about God’s Word are not the paths of Christ.

Spread the word: Christianity Today hates your guns.

Lurking on fabiusmaximus.com, I encountered a double miss in the comments of “The Sexbots are coming. But we won’t prepare for them”

http://fabiusmaximus.com/2018/05/13/sexbots-are-coming/

Issue #1 of Alt-Hero just broke and as a backer, I got mine. Thirty colored pages. The artwork was fairly simple but I like simple; I’ve read comics with so much artistic effort that my brain couldn’t assemble the images. (Specifically, Infinity: Outrage, a manga that probably won’t see life outside the wargamer community.) So long as the artwork successfully carries the story, I’m happy, and that’s the case here.

The plot concerns the forcible recruitment of Dynamique, a hot, sexy lingerie model into a UN-sponsored superhero team. Thirty pages wasn’t enough to both introduce the characters and run a plot; Vox Day chose to focus exclusively on plot, which is the sensible choice in the long run, but for now the characters are little more than cardboard props with poorly-defined powers & personalities. We don’t know Dynamique’s background but the very first page has her singlehandedly fighting off a sniper ambush, which is a curious competency for a clothing model even if she is ‘powered’. There isn’t enough material yet for me to say more.

My one real criticism is that Dynamique doesn’t act like a woman. She’s openly and repeatedly confrontational with authority figures, specifically team leader Captain Europa who subdues her after she effortlessly fights out of the opening ambush. Either Dynamique is a very badly spoiled rich girl or she would be much less certain of herself after being suddenly abducted and then informed of special legal restrictions pertaining to superpowered persons. Instead of being either bitchy or submissive, Dynamique is a hard-boiled noir detective with 42-24-36 measurements. Complete with a two-pack-a-day habit.

Does anybody still think smoking is sexy?

The comic is well-executed with solid production values but I wonder if it will be able to reach mainstream consumers. The typical young male comic reader has no representation in this issue. All of the superheroes are well-paid, highly talented professionals who in this issue are little more than State bullies. I think this is deliberate and VD is telling a story along the lines of the video game Deus Ex, but the protagonist Dynamique isn’t going to get men into the story. Most of the famous old-school superheroes were ordinary men with a supernatural ability and exceptions like Iron Man & Batman had humanizing flaws that allowed the reader to vicariously live through the hero they most identified with. I doubt most boys will be able to identify with a female hero that does lingerie shoots between action scenes. Even if they do drool over her.

It’s a decent standalone comic but it fails as a counterpoint to the Convergence of Marvel/DC. Dynamique might as well have been named Rey. She’s effortlessly competent, hot 10 sexy and can face down experienced leaders of elite paramilitary organizations without hesitation on her first day on the job. Sometimes I wonder about Vox Day. One the one hand, he clearly opposes feminism; on the other hand, a second-wave feminist would happily read this comic.
