To my NY friends, including non-NY'ers who have a permit to carry, please be advised / recall that Gov Cuomo's SAFEAct means that your pistol permit expires at the end of THIS MONTH. You MUST re-register either at the clerks office or online or your permit becomes NULL and VOID. Should you let it lapse, you have to go through the ENTIRE PROCESS all over again, will be branded a felon (assuming you have handguns at the time, which would then be a Class E or D felonious weapons possession without a license), and will have to surrender all your gear until you get it back (weeks in the sticks, roughly a year in the more populous counties). Don't be a victim to Cuomo's backdoor bulls#$%.
To the rest of the forum, BOLO that this guy's gonna be on a ticket in your area, possibly / likely for POTUS. Act accordingly.
And an aside to this...remember that despite the differences in state laws, guns are a federal game. Also remember that in any licensing process there is a part that you must state you are not an addict or using any controlled substances. For the love of Christ, do not let the new found bounty of legal weed dupe you into getting a weed card. You CANNOT* be a legal weed smoker AND a legal gunner. If you're gonna black market one of them, let it be the weed.
*speaking from a broad but still ignorant standpoint. I don't know every law for every state in the union.
Now back to your regularly unscheduled program.

my other half won't let me listen to classical in the car. so I have to listen to pop. I like maybe 1 out of 1,000 pop songs.

I'm not a big fan of this type of music. Once in a while, there is one I like.Quote: onenickelmiracleI like this song she has a good voice I just saw this on MTV. Not even watching TV probably 7 years something like that, MTV that is. It surprises me how young everybody is seems like dead at 25 on MTV. Okay so good voice of this young female singer, right now it's funny, she's surrounded herself so noticeably with women that are, so much uglier than her. There's not supposed to be that much of a difference this looks like the Westminster Kennel Club.

This will be a book and/or movie for sure. A doctor hooks up with a motorcycle gang to sell drugs. His wife, a talk radio show finds out about it and tries to blackmail him. He hires a hitman. Her daughter spends years fighting for the truth to come out.

Quote: FleaStiffThe actual shooter is dead. One advantage of motorcycle gangs is that between alcohol and lead they don't have a very high life expectancy. They are supposed to live by 'three men can keep a secret, if two of them are dead' but seldom do. That seems to be why the truth is emerging now. He wasn't making all that much money per Rx but when she tried to use it against him in the divorce proceedings, it seems to have sealed her fate despite it taking over a year for him to find a triggerman amongst the Pagans.
That was one of the most surprising things, that it took a motorcycle gang a year to find a hit man.

We're all super stoked on Nathan aren't we, guys???
If you have to ask... (-;Quote: NathanBe honest. Do I come across as a Troll on here? On a certain website, someone wrote something like, "Nathan on Wizard Of Vegas website comes across a complete Troll. He's annoying as hell." I am not trying to Troll, I just post my casino and slot experiences and thoughts.
No, not a troll. Perhaps An odd duck. Most people wouldn't even ask that question. If I had to describe it.... you come off as an 11-year-old kid who kind of annoys his older brother by talking about the same stuff and asking the same lame questions. You want to punch him just enough so he cries a little.
You seem obsessed with slotting.
Whenever you start a new thread, I can tell it's you before I look to see who the thread starter is. I might get you mixed up with Kevin.
Anyways, who cares, FK'em, do your thing and be yourself.

Thank you for the detailed response. Someone on here did ask something like,"Nathan, why are 90 percent of your posts new threads? " I guess I should cut back on the new threads for a while, right?
No disruption,. Beer still flowing.

I'm a proud dirtbag. Been drinkin' Erie since the 80's. Swimming at a Superfund site since I could walk. Ponds, puddles, I drink it all. Swamp tramping barefoot, all the good stuff. Communal showers for 30 years ain't never worn a sandal. No ringworm, no athlete's foot, no jungle rot, no crotch fire. No beaver fever, no tapeworms, no flu, no food poisoning. Shove a raw 3rd degree burn into 20 years of sweat soaked skates and... nothing happens. I wash my hands for brake fluid and that's about it. That s#$% is nasty.

WTF is that video and why does it have 22 million views?
The exchange between Ansari and his 'victim' have likely been experienced by every woman. Boundaries are changing. Women and men must take responsibility in understanding that changes take time. Men need to learn to be less aggressive; women need to take more charge. And every man and women are going to have different expectations of how to behave and what to do in these situations.
Mistakes are going to be made - definitions of what is consensual and what is not are going to result in misunderstandings. The night that Aziz and this women had is likely a night of misinterpretation wrapped up in alcohol. Aziz crossed the line, but what is the line when an attractive women is sitting naked on your kitchen counter at home? To me, it's blurry when your BAC is 0. And a total fog after a couple of glasses of wine.
Quote: boymimboMen have been taught to be sexual aggressors and it may be even hormonal; women have been taught to be acceding and reserved.
I think the idea goes beyond sex and more to who is more powerful or dominant, just like in prison rape. If you are in the position to intimidate someone, you have a moral responsibility to take that into account. In such a case just leaning in aggressively into someone's personal space can be intimidating. In fact that's the posture two street combatants often start with. Chest to chest. It's probably an instinctual response to sense a warning of danger from that.
Most of the time that is the man, but not always. For instance female boss and male employee she sexually harasses. The power situation is reversed.
The person in power has more responsibility in such situations when there is no explicit permission by the other party.

Watch the rest of the videos, starting with the first one on her channel, so you watch in chronological order.
Quote: boymimboThe Aziz Ansari story and its responses are fascinating. There is finally some pushback from feminists who place responsibility on the woman for her actions. On the other hand, a few feminists are pushing for society to look at the deeply engrained roles that women and men play in society and to look at changing that, and I think this is where the heart of change lies. It's very difficult to change society in one year or even a generation. Men have been taught to be sexual aggressors and it may be even hormonal; women have been taught to be acceding and reserved.

The NYT article cited some crazy stats. Like 25% of millennial men think asking a woman to buy a drink is harassment.
The last useful thing feminism did was identify workplace harassment. But, as ideologies tend to do, it's become an insane cult. Unfortunately, it has a lot of currency, unlike other batcrap ideologies such as libertarianism and Marxism.
Even "pushback" articles still seem to cling to the underlying idea that men are inherently evil and never deserving of understanding or compassion. I mean, you're a famous guy. A woman approaches you. You rebuff her. She persists. You agree. She comes up to your place. She gets completely naked. You... try to do her and then when she says no you accept it. But somehow, it's even possible to discuss the idea that she's done nothing wrong and you have. In fact, that's the default assumption.
An underemphasized aspect of the story is the idea that everyone's private life and private decisions should be subject to public scrutiny. (The personal is the political!) This is a totalitarian mindset, now accepted in many circles. There was another recent case where a porn star was driven to suicide because she chose not to have sex with a gay guy. Those responsible feel they did nothing wrong, for the most part.
Oh well, we'll probably nuke ourselves or bake ourselves or something else pretty soon. I'll try to mostly ignore politics in the meantime.

I leave for vegas in 2 days and I wake up today with a sore throat and stuffed nose. Fml.
There seems to be a default viewpoint of male guilt as females are viewed as victims who have a right to be heard and a right to be believed and often believed without question.Quote: RigondeauxAn underemphasized aspect of the story is the idea that everyone's private life and private decisions should be subject to public scrutiny.
In the UK so many rape cases have recently collapsed that the police were told to review all open rape cases for proper disclosure of exculpatory evidence to the defense attorneys.

Once I was out in a parking lot at night talking to someone who also was about to leave. Behind him but quite high a big seemingly brilliant flash occurred, a meteor that bifurcated ... it was marvelous! But he did not see a thing.
Lack of awareness on the road and in the casino?

I'm glad I'm married. You can't even talk to women anymore. Back in the day you just had to worry about getting rejected. Now you just look at someone the wrong way and you have to worry about rape allegations.
