Answers On A Postcard, Please

What else are we supposed to do with our days besides masturbate excessively and send a flurry of nudes?

Ciara Gaffney, a resident of Los Angeles and a “brand strategist,” is very excited – all but rendered incoherent – by a “cybersexual revolution” that, during the pandemic, is apparently occurring.

In the Guardian, of course.

  1. Me I’m working, but allot of other peoplekind can sit around smoking pot and play video games on their Trudeau bucks.

    Hey looks like I’m buying!

      1. Yup, I also have plenty of Pride, self confidence, plenty of genuine people who respect me, and a real back bone. In other words, not a f*cking Loser.

  2. “….unable or unwilling to fornicate due to over-exposure to smartphones, social media and porn.”

    Can add feminism to the list as well. If I was still a young man in this day and age I’d be a celibate recluse myself considering what they have for “female” partners out there these days. Well that or just head to South East Asia where the role of male and female is still understood by the general populations.

  3. Just read an interesting item. May futures for Canadian oil -37.89. minus folks. Just how quickly can politics destroy a country and an industry? Well, we are about to find out.

    1. Pierre and his NEP was a rank amateur compared the achievements of the alleged spawn of his loins.

    2. Understand that those futures for May Delivery are having an issue, because the people holding them are currently having an “oh shit” moment, because they don’t have any place to put the oil that they have contracted for, thus they are dumping it on the open market trying to get rid of it. Assuming that they purchased those contracts some months ago (typically three) then they are taking much more of a loss than the $37.89 that they are paying someone else to take that contract from them. You can look at the July and September contracts, and see they are still in the $20 – 30 range. Basically, a bunch of oil traders just took a unexpected haircut, by going the wrong way in the market.

      Also note that companies who are vertically integrated in the market, and pump their own oil, which they then store, refine, and sell to the public are less affected than those smaller players who buy and sell the contracts.

  4. Well, if by “masturbate excessively” you mean finishing a deck, planting a garden and catching up on a long list of household repairs and maintenance, I’m right there with you.

  5. Now you know why your betters want the lockdowns to continue for as long as possible—and why the liquor stores stayed open.

    They are finally getting what they thought they wanted: to be paid to sit at home and spend all day drinking and masturbating—the only things that consistently block out their self-loathing—and not doing anything constructive.

    I’m sure they’ll be having the time of their lives until the takeout delivery boy stops accepting bank-confetti from the government.

    This revolution will die like all the others—when it runs out of daddy’s money.

  6. Behold our future after UBI !

    And … to think … Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi said we’d all be creating our … “art”?

    1. Art… “It’s a seizing of finiteness.”
      That there is some premium verbal masturbation. Fits right in with the rest of the “prose” one typically finds in the Guardian.

  7. So you can already play through the Art of the Fugue from memory? Well, good on ya I guess.

    Used to know a girl from a small, decaying rust belt town noted for measuring snowfalls in yards. She told me that she learned to play piano because there was nothing to do there.

    I looked at her and said, “Learning to play the piano is something to do.”

    1. I believe it is the Muslim custom to chop off the offending hand? And the pro-abortionist leftist Democrats will support their abortions. Ahhhh the intersectionality of life …

  8. What have I done so far . . .

    Rebuilt some four barrel carbs I had lying around.

    Got back to the 360 dodge engine build that had been on hold for 5 years.

    Doing a backyard valve job on a pair of 318 heads.

    Ordered new belts and a fuel shutoff for an old 10/28 snow blower that otherwise runs great.

    Sorted paperwork, shredded old files.

    Taught the dog 4 new tricks.

    Fixed the pressure switch on the submersible sump pump.

    Cleaned out 8 years of gunk from every nook and cranny in the dishwasher and in every hose, pump and valve. Looks and cleans like brand new.

    Went through my library and have two boxes of books for the hospital book sale.

    Attended to the scratchy volume/balance controls on an old Pioneer stereo receiver, and cleaned the contact switches on a Nakamichi cassette deck so it runs perfectly now.

    Ran a snake through every drain in the house. Ugh.

    And I still have a loooooooong list of things I want to get to.

      1. Guides and valves are within tolerance, just lots of carbon build-up in the ports and on the valves. Had the bare heads tanked, and have lapped in about half of the valves so far. Painting the heads tomorrow. Just something to do. 🙂

    1. Would you like to engage in skill transference? What is the best way to clean the scratchy volume controls on an old but otherwise great Pioneer receiver?

      1. I used Electrosolve by MG Chemicals, same as Deoxit. Search “Cleaning potentiometers”, there’s tons of videos, very easy to do. Sounds like new.

      2. Based on my 50+ year career as an electronics serviceman (serviceperson?), I flood the offending control with 99.9% pure isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol (available at electronics supply stores, not the 99% at Shoppers Drug Mart and certainly not the 50% from Canadian Tire) and exercise it stop to stop for about twenty cycles. Repeat, and then repeat again after saturating it with silicone lubricant (available at Canadian Tire, this time). I just did a major clean and service on a Midas mixer for a local nightclub and the owner was very satisfied. Sadly, the next week the government shut down the bars. Hold on to the Pioneer; the stuff made now is effectively not serviceable and is engineered to fail shortly after the warranty expires.

    2. Thanks. You just reminded me to spray some Deoxit on my MAC 1700 pots.

      And I should probably drop the oil pan on my 2011 BMW 335i and replace the oil level switch that has given a couple randomly WRONG readings … but I’m not quite as energetic as you. Although, I have been working (for pay), and doing the same work (for me) in preparation of a very large project. I will be PRAYING for boredom in another couple weeks.

      Nakamichi cassette deck … I can still remember saving money so I could afford one of those beauties … back in the early 80’s … before Nakamichi became stereo store schlock.

      1. I just picked up and inexpensive but clean sounding Onkyo amp…not even a tuner. Just a left and right channel, volume, bass, treble, and balance knobs. I never was one for all that “surround” BS.

        1. Sweet. I have multiple two channel rigs. Done right … the “soundstage” is huge and the performers more “present” than hearing the horn section come blaring out of a speaker behind my head.

  9. Weird column but their indeed was and probably still is a weird animus against sending nudes. To the point that high-schoolers were getting criminal charges for it.

  10. I dunno, get up in the morning, make the bed, shower and get dressed. Read a book, deep clean the whole house.
