In general maybe, but to the individual punter, I don’t think they’d care. Noone is forcing the young ladies to marry the old farts. And its not always that way around, it appears not that unheard of in Japan for ladies to be 20+ years older than their fella’s. Look at the Frenchie Macaroni, his missus was basically a pedo.

No wonder citizens lose faith in the political class. I just had a look at Perrottet’s update of his road map out of this sh1t (via Rosie). On the 15/12 or at 95% of the applicable group we’re supposed to open up. But now he’s altered that commitment to include:
Masks will only be required on public transport and planes, at airports and for indoors front-of-house staff who are not fully vaccinated (previously all indoors front-of-house hospitality staff regardless of vaccination status). Masks will be strongly encouraged in settings where you cannot social distance.
QR check ins will only be required at high risk venues including hospitals, aged care and disability facilities, gyms and places of worship, funerals and memorial services, personal services (e.g. hairdressers and beauty salons), limited hospitality settings (including pubs, small bars, registered clubs and nightclubs), and for indoor music festivals with more than 1000 people.
Proof of vaccination will no longer be required by Public Health Order for most activities (businesses can still require proof at their own discretion)

Salvation Army Wants White Donors to Offer “Sincere Apology” for Their Racism
The golden age will end as soon as the power goes off.
I’ve been reading a lot about oil and oil reserves this week.
Proven reserves will last until 2070. That’s misleading, though, because “proven reserves” is a technical term indicating fields with an entire discovery and drilling superstructure in place. There are probably massive – massive – reserves above and beyond the “proven”.
looks pretty good, I’m on a similar regime. i have zinc 50mg and vitamin d3 5000iu and NAC 600mg once a day.
quercetin 800mg (or 250g quercetin micel) and vitamin c 500mg twice a day, bumping vit c to 1g twice a day on next order.

take 5000iu of d3 and at least double your vitamin c, it aids absorption of quercetin which is really hard to absorb. the micel version apparently 10x more absorbant.

Peak oil in terms of the extraction technology used at the time the comment is made has some validity. It’s not the oil is in short supply. It’s the way its extracted or the field is exhausted and it becomes uneconomic to take out oil.
Pennsylvania was where it was at in the US when oil began to become important. Extraction ended there because it ran dry with the technology at the time. The oil patch moved elsewhere. Ironically fracking has brought it back to Penn.
Oils was firstly supposed to run out in 1897, then by 1914….

I am, CL, but Covid and locked borders has caused an acute labour shortage in the WA wheatbelt.
Last year I was press ganged into working the wheat harvest dragging a chaser bin around as the Boss’s alternative was pretty much letting the crop rot in the paddock.
I didn’t break any machinery, burn too much fuel or call in sick, so I was begged to repeat the exercise this year as once again the WA border shutdown has caused another labour shortage.
I am being well paid, and fed and watered daily, picked up and dropped back off at Casa Pedro.

It appears to suggest he has absolutely no idea what “libertarianism” means. But it means exactly what he’s implying – in that the owner of the piece has the right to determine what gets added as comments and what gets removed. It’s actually basic libertarian understanding.
Moreover, he appears to always be very critical of libertarians and he was and is often droning on about “stupid libertarians” this or “stupid libertarians” that, particularly at the old Catallaxy – ironically a libertarian blog. He’s allows himself the right to post comments at the old place criticizing libertarianism, but will remove any comments critical of his own stupid shit.

De Blasio has left some massive problems but it’s coming back . I think and hope the black mayor will do okay.
They gotta keep the fear going on, and on, and on, and ….
Scientists have raised an urgent alarm about a new covid variant which was first spotted in Botswana which “spreads very quick’’ and has a “very unusual constellation of mutations’’.
The World Health Organisation working group on virus evolution has called an emergency meeting and Britain is looking at whether to impose a travel ban on arrivals from Africa and South Africa to try and slow the spread of the variant.
The WHO is meeting on Friday to decide whether to classify the new variant, B.1.1.529 as the next letter in the Greek alphabet, “Nu’’.
South Africa‘s Health Minister Joe Phaahla warned the variant was a major threat in his country, having sparked an ’exponential’ increase in covid cases in just days. “Initially it looked like the spike in cases were cluster outbreaks, but the indication is now there is a new variant’’ he said.
Vice President of the Lower Austrian Medical Association Gerrit Loibl has suggested that the government should levy a monthly fine of up to €100 to anyone unvaccinated.
Loibl has suggested that those who have not been vaccinated should pay between €90 and €100 (£78-£84/$90-$113) per month to the government, claiming that the amount is based on the current tax on tobacco products.
Zat, is the legislation coming before De Blasio or will it wait for the new guy? The new dude doesn’t appear to be a leftwing loon like De Blasio and even De Blasio doesn’t support it.

We all know about the slippery slope argument, an argument that progressives always like to dismiss or mock….and yet time and time again this argument is proven right whether it’s about abortion, pornography, euthanasia, SSM and transgenderism. So we now live in a society where we have abortion at nine months, in the Netherlands and Belgian they’re euthanising children and teenagers and we are now saturated with the obscenity that is “transgenderism”…which at its core is a denial of biological reality. Note how since the legalisation of SSM in western countries the transgender movement has revved up and we are now witnessing the emergence of a very sinister movement, aimed at normalising adult attraction to children or as it is called in plain language…..pedophilia. When religions crash and religious leaders hide away, when societies trash their civilizational heritage, when social boundaries fall away, when social justice loses the plot and stops at legitimate battles, such as justice for homosexuals and moves onto “queer” theory, philosophy and acceptance, then we’re in big trouble.
So, back in 2017, one of the reasons why I voted NO to SSM back was because, as far I was concerned at the time (and my views haven’t changed), it was being used as a Trojan horse for the normalisation of much more sinister progressive theories and practices…..and once again I’ve been proven right. When, as a society, will we say NO?
Ayaan Hirsi Ali has written the following in the UK’s online magazine..”Unherd”….it’s very good…..
“Paedophilia is not progressive
Social justice campaigns have given up on morality
Now that safe spaces and universal acceptance have become the norm, it is fashionable to tolerate all kinds of proclivities and inclinations in the name of diversity. But until recently, we respected the nebulous line that faintly dissects the parameters of what we consider to be good and evil. Not so today, where there is a growing campaign to destigmatise everything, even if doing so requires us to unpick the moral fabric of our society.
How else are we to explain the two most disturbing causes trumpeted by modern progressives: of paedophilia and of polygamy? To some extent, they can’t be compared. Polygamy remains legal in a number of countries — from South Africa and Malaysia to Iran and Morocco. Paedophilia, on the other hand, has long been considered beyond the pale, and is effectively banned across the world. Most countries have an age of consent — and those that don’t, such as Sudan and Afghanistan, require a couple to be married before sex is legally allowed.
And yet, in America of all places, activists are now campaigning for the destigmatisation of paedophilic desires. To remain horrified is bigoted; we need to feel empathy for the “suffering” that paedophiles face. What makes this movement even more disturbing is that its advocates are not confined to some progressive fringe: even those whose jobs it is to end child sexual abuse now support it.
Only last week, Elizabeth Letourneau, Director of the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse at John Hopkins’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, tweeted: “Many adults with sexual attraction to children want help to control it, hate the feeling, don’t want to act on it. Helping them prevents #childsexualabuse. Stigmatizing the conversation puts kids at risk. #prevention.”
She was responding to the debate sparked at Old Dominion University earlier this month, after word spread around campus that one of its professors, Allyn Walker, had released a book over the summer titled A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity. The book, according to its blurb, “offers a crucial account of the lived experiences of this hidden population”. In reality, all it offers is a disconcerting defence of paedophilia.
Walker, whose preferred pronouns are they/them, is concerned for the well-being of ‘minor-attracted people’ or MAPs, the new preferred term for individuals attracted to children. When asked about the use of MAPs in a recent interview, Walker responded: “I think it is important to use terminology for groups that members of that group want others to use for them. It is less stigmatising than other words like paedophile.” In other words: let’s not hurt the paedophiles’ feelings.
Throughout the interview, Walker deploys terms taken straight from the social justice playbook — as if paedophilia were just another sexual preference in need of its own Pride. Activists talk of “lowering stigma”; of a minority that is “at-risk” and “universally maligned”. As far back as 2017, in a PhD thesis titled Understanding Resilience Strategies among Minor-Attracted Individuals, Walker notes how “child pornography as a harm reduction technique has previously been theorised to be a potential strategy for MAPs to maintain abstinence from sexual contact with children”.
Although A Long, Dark Shadow was published in June, Old Dominion did not place Walker on leave until November 16th, after students began to protest. A petition was launched, making clear that paedophilia “should not be considered a sexual preference” and Walker should be fired. It has received more than 14,000 signatures.
Yet despite such overwhelming condemnation from the student body, the university’s statement regarding the situation was short, vague, and inadequately critical of Walker’s views. For Walker, however, the university’s action reflected the “gravity of the threats to me and other people on campus”. Walker’s critics’ disapproval was part of a “coordinated effort” against the LGBTQ community and academic freedom.
I am a firm defender of academic freedom. And I believe the problem of paedophilia needs to be studied. But that does not mean that we can ignore the danger destigmatising paedophilia poses to children. We should not be normalising the idea that it is tolerable to fantasise about sex with children. A university and a university press should not be pushing this kind of harmful material.
And yet this dangerous tendency to tolerate every and any proclivity, no matter how wicked, has become widespread: along with paedophilia, polygamy — a practice which should have ended centuries ago — is making a comeback as an acceptable form of relationship. Last year, Utah enacted Senate Bill 102, which lowers the penalty for polygamy from a felony to an offence on par with a traffic summons, as long as the new spouse consents to the marriage. Even pop culture is embracing the trend. Just this week, millennial influencer Lauryn Bosstick posted her thoughts on polygamy to her 1 million Instagram followers: “i am in to freedom of choice. i don’t waste my energy worried about what people’s relationship choices are – everyone’s different. if not hurting anyone & it works for you, go for it.”
But polygamy is harmful — to women, in particular, but also to society in general. Earlier this year, I interviewed Dr Dan Seligson on my podcast about its harms and dangers. He explained that polygamy actually breeds poverty in societies. It turns the human female into a commodity, destroys trust in society, and produces unhappiness in families. Growing up in Somalia, I have seen this all first-hand: my father had four wives. Not one of them was happy; not one of them thought their union was empowering.
And yet proponents of polygamy in the US today model their movement on the successful (and legitimate) campaign for same-sex marriage, pretending it is a similar form of liberation. Two practising polygamists summed up this tactic in a peculiarly supportive recent New Yorker profile: “I wish people would be as accepting with us as we try to be of everyone else.”
Here is where the slippery slope becomes a terrifying cliff face. Ingeniously, ‘minor-attracted people’ and polygamists are seeking the protection of the progressive umbrella. They want recognition as ‘maligned’ minorities who have been marginalised and overlooked by society. They want the freedom to love whomever they want, regardless of a person’s age or number of other partners. And it is working. The social justice movement is heeding their calls.
At the core of what we are seeing today is an assault on Western civilisation. In the West, we have a general moral framework. We share a broad understanding of right and wrong. But our norms and values are under attack. We have abdicated our responsibility to make moral judgements — and evil has started to seep in.
There will be some who claim that I am overreacting; that those arguing in favour of destigmatising paedophilia and polygamy are small groups who live in the dark corners of Twitter and will never have any real staying power. But the first steps have been taken. The path ahead is clear. As activists like Allyn Walker insinuate themselves into the social justice fold, the ranks of their warped campaigns will swell.
I have been a vocal advocate for women, children, homosexuals, apostates, and religious minorities for the past two decades. I believe in giving the voiceless a voice. I have also been a free-speech fundamentalist. But there must be a red line. No matter the context, there will never be anything progressive about paedophilia or polygamy.”

No wonder citizens lose faith in the political class. I just had a look at Perrottet’s update of his road map out of this sh1t (via Rosie). On the 15/12 or at 95% of the applicable group we’re supposed to open up. But now he’s altered that commitment to include:
Masks will only be required on public transport and planes, at airports and for indoors front-of-house staff who are not fully vaccinated (previously all indoors front-of-house hospitality staff regardless of vaccination status). Masks will be strongly encouraged in settings where you cannot social distance.
QR check ins will only be required at high risk venues including hospitals, aged care and disability facilities, gyms and places of worship, funerals and memorial services, personal services (e.g. hairdressers and beauty salons), limited hospitality settings (including pubs, small bars, registered clubs and nightclubs), and for indoor music festivals with more than 1000 people.
Proof of vaccination will no longer be required by Public Health Order for most activities (businesses can still require proof at their own discretion)

Peak oil in terms of the extraction technology used at the time the comment is made has some validity. It’s not the oil is in short supply. It’s the way its extracted or the field is exhausted and it becomes uneconomic to take out oil.
Pennsylvania was where it was at in the US when oil began to become important. Extraction ended there because it ran dry with the technology at the time. The oil patch moved elsewhere. Ironically fracking has brought it back to Penn.
No it wasn’t, you big fucking clown. There were no exact years for when it would dry up because there would never have been predictions of a dry beginning in exact year x or y. Go and count sheep and SFTU, you useless clown.

Moreover, he appears to always be very critical of libertarians and he was and is often droning on about “stupid libertarians” this or “stupid libertarians” that, particularly at the old Catallaxy – ironically a libertarian blog. He’s allows himself the right to post comments at the old place criticizing libertarianism, but will remove any comments critical of his own stupid shit.

We all know about the slippery slope argument, an argument that progressives always like to dismiss or mock….and yet time and time again this argument is proven right whether it’s about abortion, pornography, euthanasia, SSM and transgenderism. So we now live in a society where we have abortion at nine months, in the Netherlands and Belgian they’re euthanising children and teenagers and we are now saturated with the obscenity that is “transgenderism”…which at its core is a denial of biological reality. Note how since the legalisation of SSM in western countries the transgender movement has revved up and we are now witnessing the emergence of a very sinister movement, aimed at normalising adult attraction to children or as it is called in plain language…..pedophilia. When religions crash and religious leaders hide away, when societies trash their civilizational heritage, when social boundaries fall away, when social justice loses the plot and stops at legitimate battles, such as justice for homosexuals and moves onto “queer” theory, philosophy and acceptance, then we’re in big trouble.
So, back in 2017, one of the reasons why I voted NO to SSM back was because, as far I was concerned at the time (and my views haven’t changed), it was being used as a Trojan horse for the normalisation of much more sinister progressive theories and practices…..and once again I’ve been proven right. When, as a society, will we say NO?
Ayaan Hirsi Ali has written the following in the UK’s online magazine..”Unherd”….it’s very good…..
“Paedophilia is not progressive
Social justice campaigns have given up on morality
Now that safe spaces and universal acceptance have become the norm, it is fashionable to tolerate all kinds of proclivities and inclinations in the name of diversity. But until recently, we respected the nebulous line that faintly dissects the parameters of what we consider to be good and evil. Not so today, where there is a growing campaign to destigmatise everything, even if doing so requires us to unpick the moral fabric of our society.
How else are we to explain the two most disturbing causes trumpeted by modern progressives: of paedophilia and of polygamy? To some extent, they can’t be compared. Polygamy remains legal in a number of countries — from South Africa and Malaysia to Iran and Morocco. Paedophilia, on the other hand, has long been considered beyond the pale, and is effectively banned across the world. Most countries have an age of consent — and those that don’t, such as Sudan and Afghanistan, require a couple to be married before sex is legally allowed.
And yet, in America of all places, activists are now campaigning for the destigmatisation of paedophilic desires. To remain horrified is bigoted; we need to feel empathy for the “suffering” that paedophiles face. What makes this movement even more disturbing is that its advocates are not confined to some progressive fringe: even those whose jobs it is to end child sexual abuse now support it.
Only last week, Elizabeth Letourneau, Director of the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse at John Hopkins’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, tweeted: “Many adults with sexual attraction to children want help to control it, hate the feeling, don’t want to act on it. Helping them prevents #childsexualabuse. Stigmatizing the conversation puts kids at risk. #prevention.”
She was responding to the debate sparked at Old Dominion University earlier this month, after word spread around campus that one of its professors, Allyn Walker, had released a book over the summer titled A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity. The book, according to its blurb, “offers a crucial account of the lived experiences of this hidden population”. In reality, all it offers is a disconcerting defence of paedophilia.
Walker, whose preferred pronouns are they/them, is concerned for the well-being of ‘minor-attracted people’ or MAPs, the new preferred term for individuals attracted to children. When asked about the use of MAPs in a recent interview, Walker responded: “I think it is important to use terminology for groups that members of that group want others to use for them. It is less stigmatising than other words like paedophile.” In other words: let’s not hurt the paedophiles’ feelings.
Throughout the interview, Walker deploys terms taken straight from the social justice playbook — as if paedophilia were just another sexual preference in need of its own Pride. Activists talk of “lowering stigma”; of a minority that is “at-risk” and “universally maligned”. As far back as 2017, in a PhD thesis titled Understanding Resilience Strategies among Minor-Attracted Individuals, Walker notes how “child pornography as a harm reduction technique has previously been theorised to be a potential strategy for MAPs to maintain abstinence from sexual contact with children”.
Although A Long, Dark Shadow was published in June, Old Dominion did not place Walker on leave until November 16th, after students began to protest. A petition was launched, making clear that paedophilia “should not be considered a sexual preference” and Walker should be fired. It has received more than 14,000 signatures.
Yet despite such overwhelming condemnation from the student body, the university’s statement regarding the situation was short, vague, and inadequately critical of Walker’s views. For Walker, however, the university’s action reflected the “gravity of the threats to me and other people on campus”. Walker’s critics’ disapproval was part of a “coordinated effort” against the LGBTQ community and academic freedom.
I am a firm defender of academic freedom. And I believe the problem of paedophilia needs to be studied. But that does not mean that we can ignore the danger destigmatising paedophilia poses to children. We should not be normalising the idea that it is tolerable to fantasise about sex with children. A university and a university press should not be pushing this kind of harmful material.
And yet this dangerous tendency to tolerate every and any proclivity, no matter how wicked, has become widespread: along with paedophilia, polygamy — a practice which should have ended centuries ago — is making a comeback as an acceptable form of relationship. Last year, Utah enacted Senate Bill 102, which lowers the penalty for polygamy from a felony to an offence on par with a traffic summons, as long as the new spouse consents to the marriage. Even pop culture is embracing the trend. Just this week, millennial influencer Lauryn Bosstick posted her thoughts on polygamy to her 1 million Instagram followers: “i am in to freedom of choice. i don’t waste my energy worried about what people’s relationship choices are – everyone’s different. if not hurting anyone & it works for you, go for it.”
But polygamy is harmful — to women, in particular, but also to society in general. Earlier this year, I interviewed Dr Dan Seligson on my podcast about its harms and dangers. He explained that polygamy actually breeds poverty in societies. It turns the human female into a commodity, destroys trust in society, and produces unhappiness in families. Growing up in Somalia, I have seen this all first-hand: my father had four wives. Not one of them was happy; not one of them thought their union was empowering.
And yet proponents of polygamy in the US today model their movement on the successful (and legitimate) campaign for same-sex marriage, pretending it is a similar form of liberation. Two practising polygamists summed up this tactic in a peculiarly supportive recent New Yorker profile: “I wish people would be as accepting with us as we try to be of everyone else.”
Here is where the slippery slope becomes a terrifying cliff face. Ingeniously, ‘minor-attracted people’ and polygamists are seeking the protection of the progressive umbrella. They want recognition as ‘maligned’ minorities who have been marginalised and overlooked by society. They want the freedom to love whomever they want, regardless of a person’s age or number of other partners. And it is working. The social justice movement is heeding their calls.
At the core of what we are seeing today is an assault on Western civilisation. In the West, we have a general moral framework. We share a broad understanding of right and wrong. But our norms and values are under attack. We have abdicated our responsibility to make moral judgements — and evil has started to seep in.
There will be some who claim that I am overreacting; that those arguing in favour of destigmatising paedophilia and polygamy are small groups who live in the dark corners of Twitter and will never have any real staying power. But the first steps have been taken. The path ahead is clear. As activists like Allyn Walker insinuate themselves into the social justice fold, the ranks of their warped campaigns will swell.
I have been a vocal advocate for women, children, homosexuals, apostates, and religious minorities for the past two decades. I believe in giving the voiceless a voice. I have also been a free-speech fundamentalist. But there must be a red line. No matter the context, there will never be anything progressive about paedophilia or polygamy.”
As always, Ayaan nails it. The progressive left loathe Ayaan because she’s a truth teller and the left doesn’t like truth.
