"We have given out “Candy” " Is there a powerful mouse in your pocket? I can't give out "Candy," so leave me out of your COLLECTIVE "we," please. I am asking nice.

Bay0Wulf replies on Jun 3, 2020:

“We” is, of course, the “collective we”. While on a one by one, personal basis, “we” the individual, might be completely against such a move, Our Government Representatives ... acting on Our Behalf ... broke out the “Feel Good and Compassionate” Candy Bowl. Of course the DemLeft thinks that the Candy Bowl should be transformed into a bottomless cornucopia and is pressing for the “Program” to be reauthorized ... extended ... I can hear you saying; I didn’t vote for these cretins!!! Indeed ... you did ... either directly by voting for them or indirectly for casting your vote to someone who lost or by not voting at all ... any Choice is a Choice and the results are as much your fault as anyone’s ... I know that sounds odd but, if you think about it, its true.

What could go wrong with Trump declaring ANTIFA a terrorist organization?

Bay0Wulf comments on Jun 1, 2020:

“What could go Wrong”? Nothing. It walks like a Duck, it quacks like a Duck. I think a lot of people who somehow have “joined” AntiFa because ... well, its “Cool” are likely to find that there are consequences to being naively stupid. I think they’re about to find their funding ...

cRaZyTMG comments on May 31, 2020:

The seeming endless discussion of what constitute "allowable" speech alarms me. I see the number of members that seem to want to ban "certain" speech, climbing as the amount of drivel increases. I'm getting close to moving on. Like you, I now spend a few minutes skimming posts as the intellectual ...

Bay0Wulf replies on May 31, 2020:

Unfortunately I guess you could be right in calling it “outrage” but it seems to me to be mostly the “Canned Expletives” which have little thought or even little thought process behind the posts. These seem to be the people who are completely pissed off (maybe) or are deliberate agitators who simply interject whatever vituperative reaction they’ve conjured up or worse, have been fed. People such as these tend not to be able to present any type of argument in much the same way as they cannot engage in “A Battle of the Wits” as they arrive to the Battle completely unarmed but simply with a “Need” to run in, wave their flag, scream and tell themselves they’ve “Scored” by leaving their Mental Graffiti in yet one more place. It Serves No Purpose to Have a “Battle of the Wits” with Unarmed People.

I am saddened to have to note that it seems that, since the inclusion of “SLUG.

Appreciate the candid opinion. Things are definitely changing for us, but we at IDW/Slug are having this same conversation daily. Hopefully we'll come to something that can generates interest to usher in new members while keeping the intellectual discussions alive for our seasoned participants.

Bay0Wulf replies on May 31, 2020:

Well, I hope you can “come to something” before too many of the “seasoned participants” give in to their mounting frustration and leave in search of something more ... relatable. Perhaps simply disconnecting SLUG from IDW will “fix” a large percentage of the problem. Perhaps you could simply disconnect SLUG and then, a couple times a month have an advertised “SLUGFest” for a couple days where you reconnect the sites after which you disconnect them again. That might get you the “New Eyes” you need to attract while giving the IDW Members time to winnow out the ... undesirables(?) between “Fests”. In this manner, you may continue to cater to the people who like ... or prefer ... the SLUG oriented “conversations” and postings.

CHINA .

timon_phocas comments on May 28, 2020:

It could also be, as Rahm Emmanuel famously said, a case of never letting an emergency go to waste.

Bay0Wulf replies on May 28, 2020:

Well, the DemLeft being everso willing to help China ... especially if it screws up the Trump Admin (who gives a rat’s ass about the US Citizenry?) is seriously infuriating. I wish that the Logan Act would be revised, given serious teeth, and every single one of them got the crap beat out of them legally (prison terms ... gallows ... eve-n) for traitorous acts against the USA.

I think its still somewhat within the realm of being considered a “Cold War” or maybe a “Soft War” but its been going on a fairly long time. President Trump ... whether deliberately or by accident ... has forced them to “Show Their Hand” ... They were doing seriously screwed up stuff ...

Bay0Wulf replies on May 27, 2020:

@Rosary_Trace You’re absolutely correct. It doesn’t make sense that the Chinese would deliberately release the virus on themselves. On the other hand, the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t care at all about the Chinese (People). They’re already directly responsible for the deaths of over 100 million Chinese through various actions beginning with Mao. There’s something like 1.3 Billion Chinese a few Million here or there is not going to disturb the CCP.

Bay0Wulf replies on May 24, 2020:

Well ... often its an item that is trying to pass itself off as something its not ... like a coin ... as in using a “slug” in a vending machine. In construction its that pre-punched out piece often found in conjunction with electrical boxes once its the piece is fully punched out it becomes waste and is referred to as a “slug”. In hunting, its a single large piece of “shot” that acts as a “bullet” in a shotgun. Mostly used in places where long guns (rifles) are not allowed for shooting of large game. Basically ... a “slug” is usually considered to be a counterfeit of something else. Which is not to say that’s what this site is but it usually does have relatively negative connotations.

Otherwise, everyone I know is doing fine except some are discomfited by the economic aspects of this “pandemic” ...

Bay0Wulf comments on May 16, 2020:

Nice piece on L’Amour ... grew up reading him, Grey, Short and few others ... actually lots of others but in other genres ... After turning twelve is was more a space filler than a real “read” ... I can only read so much factual, historical or “serious” material before I have to change ...

Bay0Wulf replies on May 20, 2020:

TP ... what i mean is that “serious reading” requires time after a couple or few chapters to let my brain digest it ... mull it over ... sort it out and put it into place. Louis L’Amour I can read ... and a couple months later ... read again ... and again. I’ve probably read all the Sacketts 3 or 4 times each ... and enjoyed them every time. Still, its “filler” ... that is, I can read them in a couple hours and just enjoy the “Technicolor Movie” in my head without trying to remember anything ... analyze anything ... think about it. I let my brain freewheel over that “serious stuff” while my eyes, emotions and ... uhhh “RAM” cruise on “filler”. Yeah ... that’s it ... I can let my Harddrive and Processor crunch numbers and render the drawing while my RAM plays a couple hands of Spades ...

Bay0Wulf replies on May 19, 2020:

@Geofrank The “Warrior” is, to my mind, more valid ... in that protection of family, clan, tribe and (maybe) nation are all manifestations of the primal need to preserve Primacy ... furthering one’s Gene Pool. “Knee Jerk” (Reflexive) protection of an unknown ... a stranger ... is simply a Reflex Action. Where one is trained to react in a certain way to certain stimulus. To lose one’s own life in such a manner does not further any goal or need the person may have had. Standing Armies are a completely different thing. In the training a few “warriors” may be uncovered but most are not “Natural Warriors”. In the Military one is trained into more of a “Pack” thought process where you protect each other so that they might protect you. As to the People who have never been combatants and yet owe their very existence and lifestyle to the Men and Women that they blithely ignore or castigate ... I honestly believe there should be TWO Types of Citizenship ... Citizen One who has Served Honorably and who can therefore Hold High Government Office and Vote ... and Citizen Two who has Never Served and therefore has all the Rights of Citizenship but is NOT Permitted to Hold High Government Office or Vote. However, I don’t think “Service” need be synonymous with “Military”. I am a proponent of the idea that ALL Citizens should “Serve” a two year term in Government Service beginning with Military Style “Boot Camp”. It might be obvious I don’t think much of Peoples’ Opinions who haven’t Served in some capacity.

The only way people like him get to be “experts” is by someone like the President asking the Bureaucrat “HR” Department for a reference. Unfortunately you have to figure that they all “hate” him and don’t care a Flying Fxk about the US Citizenry. Fauci, Birx and Redford are ALL “Members of the Useless Bureaucrat Club”.

Bay0Wulf replies on May 9, 2020:

JW Starts by saying that she’s presenting work by others and its not her own. The last paragraph wouldn’t really fit except it was released for consumption by the Chinese .... specifically for members. All religions and philosophies have “mystical powers” attributed to someone or something. Through my ex-girlfriend/friend of many years who is an escapee from mainland China (now a US Citizen) I met several people of the Falun Gong and I found them to have some peculiar tilts in their outlook but none that were particularly different than several other philosophies and religions. As to being “cultish”, I’ve seen various forms of Christianity and Judaism that were every bit as “cultish”. Essentially I don’t hold a person’s “faith” against them in terms of credibility ... since I see no more “reasonable discourse and proof” being offered by ANYONE and due to their likelihood of “being on the ground” and closet to the actual Nexus of the incident, I would tend to weight their credibility somewhat higher than 99% of the “Reasonable Discourse and Proof” I’ve yet to hear.

This is kind of like he’s been sort of forced into using THEIR Human Resource Department and thy keep dishing up Garbage (which they themselves probably would have used as well).

Bay0Wulf replies on May 7, 2020:

@iThink Thanks. I’ve done pretty well with it over the years. Truth is, that the place most people get beat is in the Court’s willingness to play fast and loose with Practices and Procedures themselves. Even if, as John Q. Public, you catch them and point it out they routinely yawn and proceed anyway. I make a point to bring an attorney/counselor along to act as a referee/umpire so when the Court or Legal System plays fast and loose, I point it out and point to the Attorney and ... reset the move. The Law is rather straightforward. The Game itself is rather easily rigged. Even many Attorneys have to have the infractions pointed out before they recognize one has been made. Which is ... odd ... but nonetheless true ...

@TimTuolomne I was of course kidding ... mostly ... Although in terms of philosophy, about 8 or 9 I really did honestly wonder whether it was all a dream I was having or maybe I was a dream someone else was having ... maybe even this “God” guy was the dreamer ... shortly afterwards I began to wonder, given the basics of atomic structure whether I had entire galaxies in my closet or ... maybe we were just some part of a kid’s baseball in his closet. As to the altruistic aspect of dying for the sake of others ... I would ... and would do so willingly ... for those I determine to be “My People” ... but only in a kneejerk reactionary manner for a stranger ... for one not of “My Own”. I’ve done LOTS of seriously dangerous stuff in my life ... not that I was looking for “Danger” but because it was interesting, exciting. Oftentimes I don’t consider the danger until afterwards. I’ve had people tell me I could’ve “killed myself” (or wound up dead) ... well, yeah, I suppose that’s part of the excitement ... when you’re standing there realizing that ... I’m not in fear or thrall of the concept of death. Actually been there and done that (pretty close) with the scars to show for it. I’d rather go hard and fast than to clutch desperately at those final straws. I would note that Beowulf didn’t “sacrifice” himself in some altruistic manner either. He died as a result of wounds received in Conflict ... in Battle ... the entire tale is that of a Bold and Daring Warrior and he died the death of a Warrior. As they often say in the military; There are Bold Soldiers and there are Old Soldiers but there are No Old Bold Soldiers (or damn few anyway)

To answer your question. Yes, that is a huge stretch. Is it that much of a burden snowflake? John McCain spent seven years being tortured and starved for his country. He came back and served his country again. So man the f*ck up and serve your country by wearing a f*cking mask.

Bay0Wulf replies on May 6, 2020:

Really? Wow ... I’m surprised a Stupid Moron of your caliber is able to figure out how to type ... Why would you use the metaphor of John McCain to “justify” your moronic response? Seriously, McCain deserves to be honored for his military service and what he went through. (There’s a lot that doesn’t speak well even for that) His “service” as a politician? Ummm ... you’re kidding ... right? Let’s see ... McCain (We) were fighting in Vietnam iin order to prevent the spread of the TOTALITARIAN Government called Communism ... WE are discussing ... What the above post is about ... is the Concern that Our Own Government seems to have “suddenly” begun a Leftward Lurch towards ... TOTALITARIANISM ... (YOU Know ... what McCain was Fighting AGAINST) Strange ... how is it that people like you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ... and Totally Fxck Up the Little Bit you THINK You Know ... and STILL Think You have an “opinion” worth uttering?

If it’s legal to force people to wear a face mask for “public safety “ will it also be legal ...

Further, if you really look at it, “civilization” is mostly all the fault of females because (this is a short and humorous example) if it were left to males, we’d still be fighting over who got to live under which rock ... seriously ... I think much of civilization is due to females nagging males to provide food, shelter and comfort to them ... to their “cubs”.

Bay0Wulf replies on May 3, 2020:

@rway Actually, I think you miss the point of the Amendments. The Amendments SPECIFICALLY are enumerated and written BECAUSE the Constitution STATES “Section 2 1: The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. Article VI; 2: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. Okay ... I’m not finding what I’m looking for but ... (to paraphrase) ANY Law or Right NOT so enumerated and Specifically Stated by the CONGRESS, becomes the business of the STATES. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are Protected for ALL PEOPLE (Citizens) of the United States of America REGARDLESS of Where They May Be or Reside Within the USA. The STATES have NO SAY Regarding THESE RIGHTS. The STATES, outside of those Protected Rights, may impose ANY Laws or Rules THEY Determine to be necessary or applicable. Ergo ... they are Most Assuredly NOT “Redundant”.

@GeeMac Yes ... well, when I refer to “Truth”, I don’t mean to infer “relativistic truth” unless that’s the sort it might actually be.

I’m sure there are some but, in truth, there have never really been enough to begin with (since the 70’s) and the loss of just a few would be bad news.

Perhaps it is an almost “heartless” thing to say but, every living thing dies. Some die early and some late. Its what we were born to do. We’ve become quite good at avoiding it ... people generally live healthier, longer lives than just a few decades ago. However, we can’t ... and should not ... live forever ... which means, some people die. This might be rather sudden to you but we have lived through several of these situations through the centuries ... the millennia ... most were much more savage ... more devastating.
