Thanks Tom
Ben Garrison.
Sure.
Not as straight forward as not as straight forward as you’re suggesting. But go ahead and expand a little more than a six word assertion. I think you can do it, Champ. It’s a challenge but I think you can do it.
Tread warily, JC.
You are talking to the King of Cooling Towers.
He knows cold.
He’s a polar dunker? What do they call those dudes swimming in the dead on winder?
whoops dead of winter..

Iceburgers.
Or icebergers.
Oh yea, Icebergers.
However, the rise of the Teals shows how you have comprehensively lost the argument among the general public.
Stupid people voting for conditions that they are incapable of surviving.
It will sort itself out.
Et cetera not etcetera. Please.
Hey, m0nster, do you want to join the Icebergers?
“Oh, yes please! I love all sorts of burgers!”
Sure.
I demand you lot give me more upticks!
Otherwise I’ll treat it as a pile-off.
Be warned!
Peter Fitz Simmons’s latest book is on the Battle of Long Tan. I don’t think I’ll bother, somehow…
JC,
That CS note you posted was very interesting. I can’t find the dude on Twitter. Are you getting these CS notes as a client or from elsewhere? I’d like to get hold of his others in future.
I’ve come to similar conclusions but from a different angle – what would a higher inflation rate world look and function like with globalisation risk elevated. What to avoid and so forth, which helps narrow down options quite a lot.
I think Pozsar’s reasoning is absolutely spot on. He’s very good at joining dots as many Eastern Euro’s are.
Calli
Ask according to several people , Thought Leader is the go to guy for upticks. Go ask him for a couple of dozen. Supposedly he’s a wiz.
NO.
This thread is getting more hilarious by the minute.
Turds like the fat creep seem to be obsessed with the 50s for some reason- almost like that’s when the world began. Speaking of the fat creep, it seems to be transitioning into some sort of George W Bush neo-con.
Time to slink away and view some Roman Ruins. Apparently there’s an almost complete coliseum.
I will report back later – unless I’m fed to lions. The cranky bears have already had a nibble, but I am immune to bad tempered numpties.
Maybe they are Pies fans.

I got the note as a client at CS back in August, but I was scanning though Real Clear Politics today and found it listed, which is why I linked to it here.
He’s an analyst over at CS NY.
Ordinarily, I would say I’d email this stuff if I found it interesting, but in this day and age of you know who, I think it’s best we kept ourselves anon as you can’t trust anyone by the looks of things.
Are we talking Melbourne?
I affirmed your rejection JMH.
Appeals to upticks should be treated with parental firmness, like the Kinder Surprises at the checkout.
Ha.
Ok JC, no worries.
Just so Dover doesn’t get humbugged about it in the future, I’ll clarify that Arky can no more manipulate the ‘upticks’ than the rest of you can. He, like you and I, can slip over onto other devices, and lay down another couple if he really wants. But that one or two extra is hardly a war winner, or Greta Thunberg level influence. Besides, anyone reading this can do that, too
Arky’s posting rights are/were the same as mine. I have no ability to influence those numbers…other than the quality of my comment. He doesn’t/didn’t either.
We can’t even identify which commentators gave the comment an ‘uptick’, unlike Facebook. It’s just a number on the screen.
Dover MAY have the ability to do it, but I doubt he is.
Also, people with posting rights really only have influence over their own threads. We can’t do anything on those that Dover initiates ( this includes Open Threads). We can’t allow, edit or remove comments, on anything other than our own.
The rumour about manipulating upticks is clearly a glib, slightly amusing shit stir, that’s got waaaaaaay out of hand.
The ‘upticks’ represents a reading of the room, nothing more, nothing less.
It’s okay Mater. I’m just mucking around over the upticks.
As for reading the room, I would like a variety of typefaces. Comic Sans preferably.
True, but what’s also continually hilarious, JMH was the way you grovelled to the Lollipop blogger Adam D when I suggested there was little to nothing known about him. Comically, you answered I was being far too demanding and how could I possibly request that he explain himself. You’re here and not there. I can that an unnecessary grovel.
Thanks, CL. Roared laughing.

Thank you Mater. Well said.
At the risk of causing you another flip-out when someone (anyone) disagrees with you, how the fuck would you know what the weaknesses are, mater? You’re not a programmer, unless that’s changed.
What one person suggested is being done to manipulate ticks is clearing history (all cache etc. the whole thing) and that allows to refresh and tick anew. Have you tried because I haven’t, yet you’re then one telling us it’s impossible.
Also, I believe the Thought Leadership no longer has posting rights here to post threads, unless that’s changed in the past week.
I take it all back as JMH backs mater so it must be true then. How could it not.
Just kidding.
Too busy attending to the chaudron de lapin.
Lol , as in (cooked) boiled rabbit? Bunny Boiler is funny.

It’s been a challenge in mischief to which I succumbed for want of dedication to work I’m supposed to be doing. All on a grey Melbourne Sunday afternoon. But I no complain because I like grey skies. Obviously, not much I would not say to avoid work. Whatever happened to the Sabbath.
I do wish the tone would lift a little here.
Not just the bonhomie and good humour.
We need more.
We need a lot more medieval prose and poetry.
With a sprinkling of accounts of our various operations and hospitalisations (including the full regimen of medications and innernet diagnoses).
All topped off with a trumpeting of our very worthy charitable pursuits.
And not forgetting the travelogues.
But definitely no truck stories.
This blog has been down for days on end in the recent past. No one had much of any idea on how to fix it after other fixes were tried causing other outages.
Oh but upticks being manipulated .. absolutely impossible I says. Can’t happen. Yea, okay.
No, this is what I said:
Sure.
Which means we all have equal ability to do it if we can be bothered.
No lesser authority than the Birdman of Newcastle said it could be done, and I think JC has touched on the method above.
Think of those online newspaper polls and the method for multiple voting.
I don’t understand how that explains away the vibe people have that he’s fucking around with the blog in some way. Hopefully, you’re not suggesting it would be impossible for him to fuck around with ticks and if you aren’t, then , to be honest your comment isn’t just silly, it’s intentionally misleading.
We’re all going to die.
On the bright side, some really superb efforts reported in Shit Towns’ latest.
Yeah, nah.
Not quite what I was looking for.
Yeah, but can we?
Look at Lebanon at the moment. Savers are robbing the banks to get their cash out.
Et cetera is a sticking point, it seems.
I’ll clarify that Arky can no more manipulate the ‘upticks’ than the rest of you can.
Most people wouldn’t bother, but it only takes one rotten apple to spoil the entire bin.
Just tried it. Didn’t work.
But when I cleared the history AND jumped from Starlink to 4G, I could give a second uptick.
I’ve just hit the limits of my various connections, so 2 upticks is all I can award.
It’ll take more than that before I consider myself cool or part of the popular group.
“I do wish the tone would lift a little here.
I do try although sometimes I get triggered and go off the rails.
FFS, people, stop upticking my comment at 4:33.

Do you have a VPN as VPN’s are meant to camouflage IP addresses. I’d guess ticks would be controlled by IP addresses. That’s how someone else at Discourd suggested he’s manipulating the stuff.
Also we’re not equally motivated by insane behavior as this below implies.

Fucking amazing. The insane doofus receives a call from an Indian call center in the hustle of trying to flog stupid solar panels to gullible Australians. This Einstein puts it all together, forming the view that the Chinese communist party has hired an Indian call center to tag some idiot posting comments on the Cat Lollipop blog which attracts 3 unique visitors a day.

You’re on report along with Roger & Bespoke.
Get your story straight for the tribunal hearing. We take a very dim view of squaring up behind play.
Of all the trolls and questionable characters that the Catallaxy has been exposed to, Arky is the prime/soul evil manipulator of ‘upticks’, according to the “vibe”?
Ok. I guess if you live or die by ‘upticks’, this might be an issue. I prefer to judge the substance of the comment.
If its being done, anyone could be doing it. What does it matter?
We all get those phone calls, Arky. Not just all Cats, normies as well.
Surely such optimism argued stupidity; there must be a certain lack of gray matter in a man who could go around in permanent contentment with life, and even expect something new and good from it.

Biden Administration Intentionally Weakening Military: Retired General
When the United States acts, the world is always watching, and one of the loudest messages since President Joe Biden took office came from how the United States handled its withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.
What message did that send globally to other government leaders who may see America as an adversary?
“I think that will go down in history as the worst foreign policy failure in U.S. history. Every decision that was made was wrong,” said Lt. General (Ret.) William Boykin, executive vice president at Family Research Council. “What did that say to the rest of the world? It said that we have weak leadership. And you have to ask yourself, why did Vladimir Putin refrain from attacking Ukraine during the Trump administration? And then he went in with barrels blazing, under the Biden administration, and I will tell you, I think a lot of that goes back to the weakness that people—both our adversaries and our friends—recognized in the Biden administration.”
Other countries recognize that the Biden administration is weak and indecisive on many issues, he said, not just how the U.S. military left Afghanistan.
Boykin mentioned Biden’s approach to the Paris climate change treaty and his efforts to get the United States back into the Iran nuclear deal, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“What’s the value to the United States? And what’s the value to our allies, to put Iran on a pathway to nuclear warheads,” Boykin said
Weakening Military
Boykin believes weakness is more than an international perception, and he gave examples of how Biden is intentionally weakening the military, including kicking out servicemembers who refused to get the COVID-19 shot and teaching critical race theory and inclusion tolerance instead of teaching how to be in a constant state of readiness for war.
“At the same time, they’re turning around and writing to old generals like me, saying, ‘We need help recruiting because we just can’t recruit enough people.’ Well let me explain to you how this thing of mathematics works. You get rid of all of them, and then those who are watching from the outside say, ‘I don’t want a part of that.’ And those on the inside, many of them leave on their own.”
China Is Watching
No, can’t be right.
Plaintive cries of “upticks are manipulated by the dozen” bleat out from two who consistently fail to attract a fraction of the upticks as their stoush opponents.
It is unimaginable that their comments could be seen as anything but scintillating, so there must be artificial manipulation of upticks.
And the FDA is bankrolled by Big Pharma. I don’t see the problem here.
I turned the tone up considerably but it ruined the sound of doof doof, if it wasn’t ruined already. Now for some bon homo.
Dunno, but ask them. Conversely, how would you be able to affirm that someone with obvious issues (such as claiming Chinese spying calls from an Indian call centre) wouldn’t have the motivation? Incidentally, they’re suggesting the entire ticking thing is being fucked around with.
Sure, but you obviously felt it was important to attempt to cast him a lifesaving a line so the argument is not as “insubstantial” as you make out. You’re just arguing the opposite side.
Actually, if you bothered to read my very first comment, I suggested we leave manipulation aside, which would mean an unfortunate number are gullible to lies. Kind of a worry, no?

Quite a lot of chutzpah in that comment.

Oh good,we’re now in the realm of defending paranoid lunacy. Let’s watch.
If Kochie was in it I’d be sourcing a stinger missile.
If you find yourself caring about upticks on the Cat, get someone else to give you an uppercut, because you are obviously a soft-handed weakling of a person.
“JCsays:

You have over thirty upticks! Wow, what’s your secret?
I gave you that uptick just so you feel better, m0nts. Let’s all be charitable and give him one.
If you right click on the thumbs up unticking icon and select “Inspect element” then it shows you the code for it. Clicking it triggers some Javascript and the link tag has the attributes data-restriction=”ip” data-already-liked=”0″. Pretty sure that this means it checks for a new IP address each time before letting you uptick twice on the same comment. Also pretty sure that this could be circumvented by someone motivated.
Actually, no.
The bullshit around these accusations is destroying the blog, and Dover (who runs this place out of the kindness of his heart) is having unreasonable demands levelled at him.
If we want to see the end of this place, driving Dover to distraction is a damned good place to start.
If any such manipulations are possible from outside the system and without posting rights, these accusations can’t be proved one way or another, and are thus pointless.
The place is starting to look more like Twitter.
Funny as, right? Looks like bullshit too.
Yep.

I explained the call centre stuff the other day.
It is not a direct call from a call centre person.
It is an auto-dial which, when (if) you answer, it connects to a call centre.
If they are overloaded or slow to pick up, there is a pause or drop out.
But they know you are at least a good chance to pick up, so they will queue you up for a another call.
Hence you will then start to get a lot of calls.
Try not to get paranoid, champ.
It’s actually yes.
If it looks like wrecking the blog , then there should be a decision made if these ticks are causing more damage than they’re worth? Letting the boat sink because of a side issue is really stupid.
How so? I complained that Frogmore the pubbler was lying I had doxed him. A blatant lie.
Pointless like believing the 2020 election was stolen? Here we go, there are people who are tick denialists.
Not really.
Armenia is a client state of Russia.

I am getting somewhat tired of coverage of the Queen’s death. But articles such as the above, and the brain-dead ‘she should done more’ argument they advance.
Attention! Attention! If you are a member of any of the grievance industries and you are seeking to assert that the Queen should have done more during her lifetime to highlight whatever it is that concerns you, please form an orderly queue at the marked spot. I expect this queue will soon be far longer than that to view the Queen resting in state, plus there’s the fact that no one gives a shit about your worthless opinion, so hopefully you’re of a patient disposition.
argument they advance were never tolerable.

Now I know I’m not the only one who checks the eggs before placing them in the basket. 🙂
Like what response? Most people here have either been indifferent or supporting ticks like you and attempting to prove a negative. Its absolutely impossible. I also can’t help noticing you’re slyly offering support to the Rabbit Boiler. Noice.
Also, the covid equivalence is way too weird.

Funny segment on Gutfeld yesterday about the alphabet weirdos. Apparently, a mob called mermaids who represent transitioning men to women object to real lessos who object to these men transitioning to women who continue to root women, calling themselves lesbians, because they still have dicks and therefore can’t be real lesbians who are known for not having dicks.
Maybe dickless can sort it out because Gutfeld and his panel couldn’t.
Can you prove that it’s Arky, yes or no?
Just this morning* you demanded Dover get Sal to provide proof that you ‘doxxed’ him, and ban him if he couldn’t.
You’ll forgive me for thinking the hypocrisy is a little rough.

My sister was into the Stones, the Who, the Animals and various others – one of my first conscious memories on this planet (before that cruise on the Australis and subsequent regrettable incidents) is listening to her choices in the lounge room when about three.
Similarly , you have failed to prove there isn’t any manipulation and secondly I never said it was him, but I strongly suspect it was.
Doxing is a serious issue. He lied about it. It’s a blatant lie in an attempt to stoush troll and pity trolling.
What hypocrisy is that ? That I’ve lied about him too? When was that, Champ?
I don’t believe it has last time I looked which was much earlier this afternoon.
Arks is manufacturing upticks?
Hey Squire, you’re really cool, especially when hanging out on van Nuys with some curvy bottomaged babes 🙂
Okay. Thank you Dover for removing the Driller’s lie. I just looked and it has been removed.
And look who has previously denied ever attending a Vic. meetup is all over a “little doxxing episode”. Of course this habitual unfunny troublemaker has no idea the so-called doxxee actually doxxed himself via a real estate “porn” post he made. Oh wait! Part of this unfunny bunny’s modus operandi is to omit important info so he can go about his business of blog disruption. How gauche.

Look at Lebanon at the moment. Savers are robbing the banks to get their cash out.
The US banks have gone nuts with freezing peoples accounts, in particular Wells Fargo. Ostensibly for “undesirables”, however it can be pretty hard to distinguish a drug dealer from a gardening business based on cash deposits etc.
There has been at least one hold up where the request was to hand over $13,200.81 , because that was the balance of the “robbers” frozen account.
Faster than lawyering up, but probably way more down side.
hahahahahahaha 53 ticks.. hey no one but no one is manipulating the ticks around here. that’s because I don’t know how to do it.
A couple of times a year we’d travel up to my maternal grandparents’ place where my mum’s HMV radiogram that she’d paid off on hire purchase as a teenager was kept, along with assorted records her younger sisters had collected in the meantime. There were two long playing records I listened to over and over: The Buddy Holly Story and one of those compilations of radio hits c. 1968-69, which was mostly bubblegum pop except for one strange, oustanding track called All Along the Watchtower by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Sadly I would be unable to attend any Melbourne Cat catch up within the next two months, which is a shame because it promises an interesting combination of dinner, drinks and fisticuffs.

That’s enough for a convivial gathering, surely?
The more the better.
And Keith Richards.
I think you mean the King’s English.
😀
Sure.

Did you ever meet up with Yobbo, with whom you had an ugly stoush?
Mick Jagger’s mother was Australian.
Not many people know this.
60 ticks now Sanchez.
I swear it’s not me as I was uncertain about tick manipulation, but now I’m now longer uncertain. It’s 100%.
I suspect someone is doing the ticking in order to clearly show ticks are fantastically manipulated. Good for them as it clarifies the issue now.
Who could ever forget Yobbo, the living embodiment of the big government socialist pretending to be a libertarian?
Snort, cackle!
What a legend.
My favourite Keith Richards quote:
“Damage one of these* – I’d rather kill somebody!”
*My strat, although nowadays, it’s a “Hard Tail”.
Oops! Yes. Indeed I do – although I have no respect for the current Monarch.

Wiki about Jagger’s mother.
I am not responsible … (for 46 of them).
😉
No Woodstock cans?
Err not when I knew him.
Yep, Tommy. I had some very ugly online encounters with that monumental imbecile – usually about the absurdity of attempting to normalise “homosexual marriage”.
A man cannot be married to a man. The concept is utterly absurd.
Speaking of, I see that “Adrienne” popped up recently on one of the guest posts – Doves – do not entertain that smug collectivist idiot, please, FFS.
None of my recent experience has any relevance compared to the death spiral experienced by the world now, but for me it was a challange.
The assessment program for my (purchased) Wyoming high country winter trail ride is over and I think the organisers may reluctantly let me participate.
I have to say that these folks were incredible. Their horsemanship was at a level I have never encountered. They were obviously concerned by my age, but were supportive, if demanding.
I survived most of the tests except for pack horse loading and leading which was obviously something I had never encountered.
I am now wondering if I should actually do this but fuck it, go go.
My only favourite bum however is objecting strenuously against high back western saddles. They hurt.
We’ll see how this goes. I’ve trained hard but if I prove to be pain for the younger riders, I’ll pull out.
Oh look – we have uncovered the Kindergarten humourist, Kamala Harris, pretending to be Sancho!
No disrespect for the Strat, but I think Keith will be forever associated with the Tele.
Don’t know about ‘convivial’ Rabz- maybe ‘robust’. Regarding upticks, dickless or otherwise, I don’t think they’re anything to get upset about.
“Hahaha! Former North Melbourne coach Dean Laidley, whose gender dysmorphia is now celebrated by the GayFL to bring down the patriarchy and wreck the GayFL Lezzo League, is wheeled out as “Dani Laidley” to fuck up the Brownlow Medal’s Red Carpet, in which the most beautiful female specimens now have to compete with chicks with dicks.”
He’s an autogynephiliac.

I noticed that in the “Shit Towns” update, in Toowoomba a “serial wanker” is back in Court.
…
No, I don’t think so.
My goodness, ‘Dani’ Laidley decides to rock up to the Brownlow in a white gown that doesn’t fail to remind us that it’s ‘Dean’ in dress.

Okay. Thank you Dover for removing the Driller’s lie. I just looked and it has been removed.
Hmm, what were you demanding Salvatore prove again?
This is 100% on the money. As someone said upthread, they are an indicator of reading the room and that is all. No less, but no more.
I think the Doverlord said all they were is a plug-in to the Big Machine. Like pinching cars and avoiding tax, someone somewhere is going to find out how to circumvent the system. I also recall the Doverlord giving himself 24000 upticks or something when this issue was first (painfully) raised.
It’s sticks and stones. It doesn’t matter. No I do not know how to do it.
It is just a blog.
Hahaha! Old white bloke pretending to be a blackfella opens the GayFL’s Brownlow Medal.
What a farce — you can’t enjoy Aussie Rules unless you vote ALP and endorse apartheid for our noble savages to signal how much better you are than the rest of us.
For frequent use. Not much use for low and intermittent use as the ink can dry up. For my few pages per week the cheap printer with the more expensive cartridge is ideal.
The interwebs tell me Laidley 2.0 bears a striking resemblance to Camilla Parker-Bowles.
To date, I have been too terrified to check.
That issue has nothing to do with being a socialist.
Sure.
The real reason why specific people dislike them so much is that it gives commenters a means to show their disagreement with certain protagonists (or more accurately, support for their opposition) without attracting their unreasonable ire. This evening being a case in point.
Those inclined towards intimidation despise anonymity in an opponent*.
Keep going gentlemen. You are proving my point.

How is someone a socialist if they live on online gambling and move to a more business friendly, more traditional society?
I dare not speaketh her name, but a certain ladeee might disagree.
He’s an autogynephiliac.
We used to protect the mentally ill from public ridicule.
