I just felt like delivering a rapid-fire series of nut punches since there’s nothing really going on except a few baseball games.
Maybe if you have no concept of “third party present”, you deserve to get kicked in the nuts and then charged with excessive force. Unfortunately, the victims his abuse still got dinged up.
BAM!
Give him points for creativity. Â Maybe he was just shy and wanted to learn her interests before he approached her.
Protip to Woonsocket, Rhode Island: If a cop is already suspended for beating up a kid, and currently appealing the convictions for those beatings, it might not be a good idea to have him working as a volunteer with the high school football team.
Even in nature the nut punch is present.
You mean he didn’t even get a paid vacation for allegedly showing his dick and balls to a 9- and 13-year old in an Applebee’s bathroom? Aw, nuts.
You know how a regular person can get a DUI even if they test out below the minimum BAC?  Apparently a Chicagoland cop is immune from that even when he runs over and kills someone. Hell, even when he was said to be intoxicated by witnesses pre- and post-accident.  Which reminds me: if you’re ever pulled over, don’t blow.
The nut kick can be even more dangerous.
Remember the high-speed car chase that turned into a low-speed horse chase and the guy getting kicked in the nuts and beaten silly after proving himself out awaiting arrest?  Well, the cops involved pleaded down to a lesser charge and are now prepared to fight for their jobs back. The residents, however, are unable to plead the $650,000 settlement down or ask for it back.  Because they’re not the King’s Men.
Walk it off, Judge.
That’s all I’ve got. Â Why don’t you walk this one off.
All that stuff is known only to libertarians as a nut punch, sloop. To the statist hordes, they’re known as orgasms.
I don’t know. A cop flopping his dong out at a couple of little kids isn’t gonna sell well in Dubuque.
If those kids wouldn’t have been doing anything wrong…
From the comments to that story:
Funny how people have no problem with non-cops being treated that way.
And a comment from the first article:
“I don’t see information that would justify charges against the officer. Virtually every one of these police events that include violence; either by the police doing their job or by the arrestee, it involves the act of “resisting arrest”. While some are appalled by the apparently harsh tactics used to take a person into custody, they sometimes overlook the fact that the arrestee is using force to avoid the arrest.”
Funny. Unless I don’t read so good, the article explains the cop used excessive force by way of a taser to a man ALREADY cuffed and subdued.
As in:
“An arrest affidavit for 30-year-old Timothy Jarrett indicates Jarrett was under the influence of alcohol when he acted violently during contact with Loveland police officers Nov. 5, and was subsequently shot with an electric stun gun while handcuffed.”
Also a nutpunch: I went solar. Passed inspection today; I flip the switch tomorrow.
Good thinking. Are you selling it back to SoCal Edison?
I’m zeroing out the bill, and using the rest for commercial purposes. Their wholesale rates are shit.
Sounds like you got a plan.
I always thought net metering let you go past zero at retail. Hmmph. Guess it’s not *quite* as much of an antipoor abomination as I thought!
It does, but I don’t want $.05/kwhr, which is the wholesale price they pay me at retail. I pay them .38 at tier 5, they pay me .05.
I’d rather just run the fridge with the door open.
Hawaii’s power makes Cali look cheap. It took almost three years to go solar in Hawaii because the power company slow walks every step. I finally got it done and my power bill dropped to only the hook up fee ($18/mo) from near $225/mo.
Am I missing something? By choice or state force?
You environmentalist piece of shit. Libertarians only get power from the dirtiest coal possible. I bet you also drive a Prius with a COEXIST bumper sticker.
Wait. The coal was mined by orphans, right? And they were rightfully beaten daily? Because if not, what sort of pussy ass dirty coal are we talking about?
And it better be the extra-sulfur kind–the shit that culled the weakest Londoners until they went socialist in the 50s. None of this hippie anthracite bullshit.
What about dirty tar sands shit from Canuckistan?, that seems to be all the rage.
and you better cook your food over the upgrader flare too!
Good one from a couple years back. Some light corruption and abuse of authority.

Do you even lift, bro?
We were talking about that last night with the post about someone squatting 750 lbs for reps. I used to be into weights and thinking about getting back into it, but I was into high reps (looks instead of just strength) and I’m wondering what the real differences between high reps training and heavy lifting is. I posted something about that last night.
I haven’t seen any good evidence for deviating from the standard 6-12 RM for hypertrophy, lower for strength, higher for strength endurance.
*Who* squats 750 for reps? I bet it’s Mrs. OMWC! Is there anything that woman can’t do?
Wasn’t OMWC who posted that. When I was into weights I was into very high reps, like 30 before increasing weight. It seemed to be working for what I wanted it to do.
Thirty! Wow. I’m actually too lazy to do that. I actually have always found the hypertrophy range is *exactly* the sweet spot where my laziness qua reps balances out my laziness qua heaviness. Which is good, because I’ve only ever been lifting for beach muscles. I keep the rest times precise, too, and generally don’t fuck around like some people because I want to be done and get the fuck out of there. Bad work ethic gives good results!
Well, I had a method like this. I’d do 30 reps, but as soon as I hit it, I’d take the next day and increase the weight, and then do it again the next day if I could get to 20, and the next day increase again, if I could get to 10, and the next day increase if I could get to 5. Then I’d go back to my 30 that I could rep and increase again. Can’t remember now where I got this, but it works (for getting you ripped, not so much strength I guess). I was posting last night that I got to where I could bench 125 lbs more than 30 times and 225 at least 5-6 times. And I’m not a big guy, I was 175 lbs max. I was asking because a friend of mine who was a big guy, like 260 was laughing at me about 125 30 reps and then he couldn’t do it. So I’m must curious being out of it so long, what’s the diff between high rep training and heavy as far as strength is concerned?
Heavy is for strength. Light is for strength endurance. Thirty is extremely light; you’re basically training like a rower. You should do more days much, much lower if you want to bulk up better. (And bulking is a good goal for dealing with aging, too.) These are two very different goals, two very different aptitudes, and two people can be very varied in what they can do. Not at all surprising that you found someone who can wipe the floor with you in one rep range but not another.
Nice. Thanks for the info. I really want to get back into it. That just made me feel good when the guy, who I saw many times benching more than 300, but only one time, couldn’t equal what I could do at lighter. I was very adverse to getting hurt because I had a friend who badly injured himself and could not lift anymore, permanently. So my 260
lb friend made it less than 20 reps at 125 and I did if I remember correctly, at least 35. Embarrassed the dick in front of his buds, lol. So he told me it didn’t matter because he’d kick my ass if we got into a fight. Umm, ok. I said, I guess if you hit me the first time you try.
Late night links? This is like the bonus fry you find in the bag when you think you ate them all!
I prefer to think of them as those deliciously nutty half-popped kernels. And not a total dud in them! It’s always a gamble, but tonight we get to keep our teeth.
And a godsend for me; I am switching from days to nights tomorrow, so I need to stay up late to quickly get used to it.
So we’ll all be up till the wee-hours, right? Who’s with me?! Let’s go!!
Nights. What is that? Is it an orphan beating shift? Cause I’ve been having my orphans beat my orphans for decades now.
My assumption is that there will be an open bar. We will see
See now, this is more of that alienated, impersonal corporate culture we see more and more from today’s leisure class. When I was growing up there were still plenty of humble, traditional, family operated businesses around that put the sweat of their brows into beating their orphans with their own two hands. They knew every single one personally. Where do you see that nowadays?
I understand the days to nights m. For the past 4 years I have been working 12 hour shifts, 5 on days, 3 off, 5 on nights, 3 off. recycle ad infinitum. it’s a bitch. especially with a family.
You’re a chump.
Quit your job. Open a chaturbate account and do live sex shows with your wife.
I would, buty dick is too short to garner much attention.
*sad face*
You realize this is becoming your go-to answer for EVERYTHING, right?
I’ve never made a cent off of camwhoring and all I have to show for it was attempted extortion.
Marketing, jesse. You just needed a marketing plan.
I have no problem getting viewers, I usually get to the front page (hence the recording and attempted extortion). I just find the asking for money to be tough.
You need to get out of the non-profit sector.
Well shit. Now you made me feel guilty for complaining. It’s only temporary for me. This is going to be 5, 10’s. Well 3 days this week, 5 next week…maybe the week after, then back to my normal 4, 10’s on days.
Listen, I’ve already provided the solution. You could make your life so much easier.
I’m not sure she’d be in to it. You think I could I make it work with me and a sex doll?
Do I ever!
Depending on how charismatic you are, absolutely.
Hmmm…I can do charismatic. People love my story about the time I met Christopher Reeve.
::spit take::
*hands Sloopy a napkin to clean up*
Skilled trade labor makes damn good money in my part of the world. The hours just blow.
Exactly.
Now, you understand.
looks like fun.
Speaking of nutpunches, I find it hilarious that the network news is freaking out about the Internet privacy repeal today but of course, doesn’t give a shit about the NSA recording everyone’s telephone calls. So, Verizon selling your browser history is horrific, but Top Men listening to your dirty talk with your spouse isn’t a privacy violation at all. I’m glad I’ve got that straight, it makes so much sense.
Since Sloopy had our backs with some night time links, I have his back with some tunes.
The Orphan Song
Shit, I did links but now I see that “The Natural” is on.
The most unrealistic movie ever.
The worst movie ever made. If you read the book, you’ll know how disgraceful that abortion of a film really was.
I’ve heard that many times.
And it stars a mediocre actor.
I hope you’re not talking about Wilford Brimley.
Goodness no. Wilford could act circles around Redford.
Christopher Reeve could act circles around Robert Redford.
After the accident.
Without the wheelchair
I’d tell my Reeve story, but I’ve told it too many damn times on here and the old site.
But I’ve never heard it. Come on…just for me? I added a music link for you tonight. đ
He could probably say where to find it on the site, at least.
I’m a HUGE Christopher Reeve fan, so I’ll be eagerly awaiting. I liked it when he would take his shirt off in those Italian films and sing with the Vandellas.
He hosted this big dinner for spinal cord injury research down in Puerto Rico 19 or 20 years ago. It was at the Westin Rio Mar. Like $500-1000 a plate. It was a big ass deal. Access Hollywood was there and everything.
Anyway, they asked my old boss Dayn Smith to be the executive chef in charge of the whole menu and hotel kitchen staff. He asked me to tag along as his right hand. So we were in the back running shit and Wolfgang Puck comes in the kitchen and they’re chatting and he tells me if I ever want to go to LA to look him up and he’ll give me a job. And he and Dayn are shooting the shit and TV cameras are rolling and it’s all like a big, beautiful dream.
Anyway, we set up the line and get the whole thing plated…probably a minimum of 500 people eating. And they’ve got the stage set up and Reeve is at the main table and people are giving speeches and all that. And as they present the plates to the tables, they invite Dayn up to the stage to take a bow and he pulls me up there with him. I’m in the shadows but they roll Reeve over to shake hands with me and Dayn.
And the motherfucker didn’t even have the courtesy to shake my hand like a man. He gives me the limp fish!
The motherfucker.
As awesome as reading that story was, I bet it is 1000x better in person after 6-10 beers. Thanks Sloop
That’s my Reeve story. Everybody gets mortified at the end.
Ha! Probably. Especially since whenever I’m drinking it starts with “Christopher Reeve. Let me tell you something about that motherfucker.”
“Wonderboy”.
What a fag.
That is the stupidest fucking name for a bat I have ever heard. I did name my dick that, which I fancied to be witty. But I was five, so Im’a let myself slide on this one.
Field of Dreams is a more slavishly realist baseball movie than The Natural.
“Ed” is more realistic. And the lead actor is almost as good.

A nutpunch for my Christian friends. When you’ve lost Kansas…
Interesting that they got a free exercise bit in there. Seems like a pretty obscure part of the whole encounter. But it’s probably one of the few things that anyone still gives a shit about anymore (albeit even that not much), so…
That sounds a little fishy. Did they ever charge her? Or is this a civil suit she filed against them?
Assigning homework now, are we?
*grumble, grumble*
Back in a jif.
What, you heading to Alex Jones to confirm the WND piece?
(I keed! I keed!)
What’s WND’s angle anyway? I get all these sites confused. They’re going with that whole “Obama said America isn’t a Christian nation” hype, instead of all the other shit he’s given them to pick at, so they can’t be all that principled, or bright.
Back in the day (~2012) World Net Daily was known for taking AP or Reuters articles and injecting a Christian slant into them to fill out their content. Sometimes they did that algorithmically such as converting every reference to “gay/gays” into “homosexual/homosexuals” which became funny during the Olympics when Tyson Gay did really well and they couldn’t be arsed to set an exemption.
Reading them can expose you to some interesting stories, but it’s always worth tracking down a second source from a local news station or something because they’re not above presenting a totally one-sided picture to push a narrative.
It was mentioned in passing to me the other day and It was numero uno on the search list. My GoogleFu is lacking, to say the least.
Having said that, I can’t find a pending or ongoing civil case about this. Just federal appeals court.
What struck me was this passage: On Tuesday, First Liberty said it had just completed oral arguments before a three-judge panel on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
âIn court briefings, government attorneys defended the police officersâ actions by arguing that the First Amendmentâs Free Exercise Clause only âprotects an individualâs right to choose a religion,’â the womanâs legal team explained.
Now, I’m not sure if this just a slanted interpretation of the government’s argument or what, just thought it might deserve some attention.
It’s A civil case and she’s the plaintiff
You PDF’d me but I trust you wouldn’t lie.
Nevermind then, gents. Carry on.
She’s a *nun*, dude!
November just isn’t her month…
Well, it seems I may have been duped into feeding an attention whore. Wouldn’t be the first time(wink,wink, nudge,nudge).
Oh man. I guess it was just a matter of time before we ended up with a feeder here. Do we have any gainers? Let’s see if we can get a love-connection going.
Viable options + limited assets = a non-starter.
If that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t be lurking around with you shitheads. đ
*reads again*
What? Sorry, I, that,…I meant I have no shits left to give.
Goddammit.
Again,(to everyone)sorry. I’m on day two of headache induced insomnia. I should know better than to post here in this state. In fact, my head has felt pretty muddled for a few weeks now and it has made my already middling contributions here even weaker.
And no, I haven’t been drinking. Not a drop in days, which might explain the headaches.
Well then, I think I’ll fuck off for awhile and see if I can get my shit together before posting again.
Toodles!

Here is a good nut punch. When this happened my father was the ER physician that they brought the guy to. He was tasered to death in a jail cell.
Follow up. The police investigated themselves and found they did no wrong.
Fuck. Sounds like he was out of control but 8 times in 11 minutes? They fried the poor dude.
my thoughts exactly, and my dad’s as well. Yes, the guy was hopped up on meth. He also was in a jail cell where there were many officers available to subdue him, or even just lock the cell and let him be. Instead they decided to tasered him to death. My dad called me that night infuriated. I can’t use the medical terminology he used to describe what happened to him because I’m not a medical guy. what he told me boils down to, they shocked him to death. Not unlike an electric chair execution gone wrong. He was alive when dad tried to save him.
“Follow up. The police investigated themselves and found they did no wrong.”
Oh, well, then in that case, nothing else to see here.
Only 5 more months till CatCon 2017.
Wait, are you talking about the one in Pasadena?
There’s more than one?
Not sure. There’s a cat show in January
Indeed.
I assume you’ll be there with cattitude?
Psh. If I’d known that I would’ve agreed to the cat girl fucking earlier. I still don’t think I’ll beat Riven in cat-girl seduction though.
Pictures…
And I don’t mean of you.
Ok.
*exits camera app, zips up*
Oh my.
You could upgrade to actual cats.

Here is another good one. This happened several years ago in a house about half a mile from mine at the time. It actually made national news.
follow up.
They actually fired this prick. He should have been put in prison. Any grown man who has to use a tasered to subdue a female child is a fucking coward.
Damn, what is the world coming to when my 9th grade gym coach seems like the only sane voice. He wanted us to take showers together after gym class.
We weren’t forced to shower after gym class. We were just allowed to walk around smelling around like Satan’s armpits after gym. I think it took about a week before social pressure pushed us into showering together. The manly musk only goes so far before it’s just nasty.
Not sure if this was discussed earlier here. I know the other site had an article about it.
Miami is one of the top 5 destinations in the country for airbnb. Of course, that pisses the hotels off, and they bring pressure on the local politicians. So they hold a city commission meeting, where airbnb hosts who rent out their homes for a little extra money tried to explain to the government what it meant to them to, you know, actually be able to use their own property in the way they choose to use it.
Not only were they not listened to, but the Mayor threatened to go after the people who admitted they were airbnb hosts. Because why not.
It’s such a weird thing. I have a friend who previously lived in SF and he and his partner airbnb’d out their extra room. They preferred to have a steady roommate but if one wasn’t available airbnb helped with cost of living and would give them enough extra to travel. Having guests helped bring money into town from people who might otherwise be priced out of hotels…
I can see not wanting apartment buildings being used surreptitiously as hotels by the owner airbnb’ing them out, but the normal use scenario seems like pure win for everyone.
It just seems that way. Next thing you know there is an open pit tar sand mine next door to you alongside a 24 hour niteclub blasting Justin Bieber, with a heroin vending machine, and there are no roads anywhere.
Maybe he thought he worked for the Penis Grove PD.
OT: A computer science student I know recently told me with great enthusiasm, “did you know that the first computer programmer was a woman, and there have historically been a lot of women in computer programming, but the demographic has shifted in the last two decades or so?”
Can anyone confirm or deny this? I’m not emotionally invested in the outcome one way or the other; it’s just that this sounds like something a lefty professor would make up in order to further this idea that government needs to step in and enforce a certain gender ratio in STEM fields. The “first programmer was a woman” is probably in reference to Ada Lovelace, and the Wikipedia article states that there’s some controversy over the extent of her contributions.
“This sad little lizard told me that he was a brontosaurus on his mother’s side. I did not laugh; people who boast of ancestry often have little else to sustain them. Humouring them costs nothing and adds to happiness in a world in which happiness is always in short supply.”
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. All the way down.
Ada was never a “programmer” in any way you can spin it. She *was* involved, and some may say influential in the development of the Analytical Machine, but like those farkin’ educationalists in Europe who thought Math teachers should be dragooned into retraining as Computer Science teachers (it did not end well), her contributions were largely philosophical and intellectual. Not practical. It’s the equivalent of saying “Turing was the first gay Javascript programmer”. It’s just nonsensical.
And having participated in, and overseeing a fairly large number of software development projects over the last 25-30 years, there have never been ‘lots’ of women in programming, although one project in the 90’s had a lot of former Eastern Bloc women coding away like mountain dew powered aspies.
There are a few notable examples that support your contact’s assertions, among them Jean Sammet and Gertrude Tierney, who were two of the designers of COBOL, and as far as I remember, were’nt just the tea ladies. So women have always been represented in the programming community, but it’s utter fantasy that the current demographics in programming are the resut of a net shift *away* from women in the industry.
Oh, duh, let’s not forget Rear Admiral Grace Hopper.
Seriously. There have been a number of notable female Computer Scientists. You could even argue that Ada Lovelace was one of them. But they have been (and for the moment, still are) a numerical minority in the field, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re over-represented when compared to other ST (non life-science) fields,
The other thing is that a “computer scientist”::”computer programmer” as an architect::electrician.
Your fingers were 2 minutes faster. Where’s that cat butt…?
Nothing wrong with a tag-team takedown.
*waggles fingers Wallace and Grommit style*.
What he said.
My first CS job was when I was 16 – back in the mid-80s. There wasn’t a single woman there. It was all guys. Same with the geeks I met on BBS boards, the crackers, the hackers, and the phone phreakers. It was all men.
When I got my degree in the mid-90s, there was maybe a two or three women in vs the hundred or so of us in computer science.
In the world of manufacturing, which is a rather aging group, I’ve run into one consultant/woman who does programming. The rest are guys.
I briefly ran a team of APL programmers where 3 of the team of 7 were women. One of the guys was on documentation and support tasks, so in terms of hard programming effort, the demographics ran 3:3 male:female, but I consider that a real outlier.
Maybe she meant Hopper?
In any case, most of my programming was 40 years ago (can you say Fortran 77?), and it was overwhelmingly male then.
I’m guessing Hopper too. During the war, there was a surge in female engineers for obvious reasons – I think Cryptonomicon goes over it for similar reasons – both in the UK and US. (and obviously…post war…I don’t think they were forced out but they didn’t all necessarily need or want to stay in their previous jobs).
It’s always been heavily weighted towards men post WWII, but it does seem like there were a lot more women going into the field before the internet exploded into popularity in the mid-90’s. Whether or not those two things are related, I don’t know.
