The Man: Equal Time Tuesday Open Thread

It’s great when you hear about diversity, which can be a drag—amirite fellow whites*

* Said earnestly. When I lived in Snowland (Parts I & II), several folks thought I was Italian.

It’s great when diversity involves something new, opening your mind to other cultures and customs. Sometimes it’s food and it’s delicious. Other times it’s art and it’s enchanting. Well sorry, that’s not today.

In short, diversity means all voices, thus the enemy also. Hey, don’t blame me, blame principles [spits on floor]. Logical consistency can get fucked too.

Very well, The Man, you bastard: it’s you time.

Every person who has ever posted on a blog knows there is one and only one enemy: day jobs. Day jobs demand a commitment that goes beyond marriage and family. The demands of day job go beyond work tasks. Idiot bosses and nosy coworkers increase stress, but livable compensation and health coverage is A LOT of less stress. And if you can stick to never more than 40 hours a week and a minute more is overtime,

You, have defeated The Man. At his own game! Because, you know, if you keep rising in the corporate world OR start on your own and become a mogul, face it. You are The Man.

Gets glossy paper, Eastern times:

All times central.

MLB

Doyers (May) @ Gigantes (Wood) – 8:45

Timberwolves @ Lakers – 9:00

FINALLY,

Hey, The Man. Just pay well and reimburse all expenses, motherfucker. And maybe, just maybe, the best effort will be made to keep daily time theft under two hours.

I need to not get irritated about teams choking to the Lakers until deeper into the playoffs. It’s not like them winning a play-in game against the Timberwolves is that big of a deal.

Here’s Soledad Canyon, between Los Angeles and the Antelope Valley.

It was a main filming location for Duel (1971) a TV movie directed by an unknown kid named Spielberg. It’s still one of his best films.

So many great roads in that area!

As a white person, fuck white people.

Richard Spencer eyes BFC suspiciously, unsure if he’s advocating a breeding program or not.

TheRevanchist

Watching him get punched is definitely a joyful moment. He is such a worthless asshole.

Dunstan

It’s nice that I don’t hear as much about him lately. I think the media finally lost its fascination with “he’s a horrendous racist, BUT he dresses so dapper!”

Is 41 too late to train as an architect and win a Pritzker prize? Asking for a friend

Never too late

Architects don’t need any training. Just draw your building, then hand the drawing to a highly trained structural engineer to make the blueprints.

Looking back I was just hitting my prime stride in my early 40’s. You have back up skills that got you here. Something different is a crap shoot but like we say, you miss every shot you don’t take.

You’re smart, which I think is usually the real factor I consider when opposing the “you’re never too late!” crowd. So why not? You could have twenty years experience by 65. I bet you could get an award with 10 years experience thought.

Game Time Decision

If it weren’t for slacking off at work, I’d have like 3 things published here

Doktor Zymm

It’s a shame that the actual practice of reporting news has gotten so fucked up when it’s such a great word, news as opposed to olds, but olds wasn’t a word until recently on social media.

What’s the best way to reheat prime rib? Short time in the oven?

It cooled off before I could finish it all!

Fuck. I have to report for jury duty tomorrow.

This was me when I found out.

Hope you get a juicy case. Don’t want anyone to get hurt. Some kinky stuff gone wrong. Better yet, as Don T points out… The man getting charged with kinky stuff.

WCS

Pull a Ted Nugent and poo yourself.

Doktor Zymm

Like, in person? I got a notice when I first moved here and they just told me to check the internet each day and the internet told me to move along

Gumbygirl

Yes. I have to be there at 1 pm tomorrow. I thought I’d be on standby all week- nope!

Game Time Decision

We were in the clubhouse together the whole time

ballsofsteelandfury

I told you to wait until 10 or 11!

They never listen….

Gumbygirl

I did! They were hip to your tricks!

“28-3” has an exact referential meaning in generic terminology now.
