Shoe had a good take (but I'm repeating myself)

These People are Sick

2:15 He did not advocate to stone gays.* A Lesbian quoted Leviticus 19 to him, he quipped with Leviticus 18 and added that was the old law. His point was not for stoning gays, but for not quoting the Bible out of context. Pretty much what some LGBTQ advocates do when arguing about shrimps, and we don't call them out for wanting to stone Danes for eating smørrebrød med pillede reger (reger meaning shrimps).

Even Stephen King has apologised for that one.

He also didn't say black women are too stupid to be pilots. He was commenting on them becoming pilots on DEI rules. A DEI policy says you can allow the fourth best applicant (or whatever) to get a job if the very best is white male and the fourth best is in a group where equity and diversity would warrant giving a pass. He may be wrong. But he arguably wasn't wrong about it with Lesbians in the LA fire department back in January, so, he had at least fresh news to back it up with.

The thinking is, good competence is scarce. The very best applicant is adequate, but hiring the fourth best instead is courting disaster. It's not that the black woman for being a black woman is stupid, it's that she could have been only the fourth best applicant. However, I would agree against DEI policies when it comes to making people policy makers albeit on subsidiary roles (LA Fire Department). Or when the marginalised group being recent immigrants they are applied on so many levels they court Great Replacement. (The main courting of GR is obviously childlessness and childscarcity among white indigenous people of the First World).

If the applicants for a job are 20 to 100 and even the tenth or fifthieth would be good enough, because those who aren't have the sense to not apply, or their teachers have the sense not to encourage them, hiring the fourth best is obviously not as disastrous a deal as some think.

7:14 She's so totally out of touch.**

11:21 If someone calls you a Fascist, feel free to quip they are confusing you with Connor Estelle, Nick Fuentes or myself.

13:30 Wait, you got called Fascist for calling out a certain company which may have apologised but put out really creepy material with small children?

I recall you said that, but not that someone called you Fascist for it ...

18:05 Rome stopped having a Republic when murdering Tiberius Gracchus led to Sylla's men murdering Marians, leading to Marius' men murdering Syllans ... leading to Catilina, leading to ... well, Caesar. Princeps senatus, but one who didn't always leave much job for the rest of the Senate.

Spain got a very bloody war from 1936 to 1939, with too little pardon for beaten adversaries after the war, over a murder culture. You know Calvo Sotelo was the fourth murder in a few months, in a Left-Right vendetta.

18:51 Workers rights, unions?

If on top of that you are against abortion, even more, against actual Communism (as expropriation of companies followed by collectivisation) you are actually a Fascist. I just reminded Casey Cole OFM when he said sth about "people want to fix homelessness, but won't pay taxes for cheap housing" ... that was actually one of Franco's policies.

And before you say "Nordic Socialism", actually Swedish Social Democrats did copy the programme of Nysvenskarne, a Fascist party which admired Il Duce and Perón, but not a certain man who should have remained a painter after hearing of certain camps. Or is it Nysvenskarna? Both plurals are valid in Swedish.

When Lyndon LaRouche called Olof Palme a Fascist, in economic policies, he wasn't wrong. Unfortunately, Palme wasn't pro-life.

* Shoe went on to make the point herself, after 2:15.

** Shoe happened to show a clip of someone saying so few could relate to Charlie, no one was going to consider him as a martyr. That girl, fortunately left anonymous has been proven very wrong, even into France and Germany. Shoe isn't very often out of touch herself.

The Rise Of ‘Female Loneliness’ (& How To Fix It)
Shoe0nHead | 14 March 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2DaJSSNmOQ

Probably a good video. Shoe self qualifies as left, but is often "dragged into the mud" (from her perspective) as right wing by some woke crowd. I had other things to watch, so didn't see it all.

However, I felt the pov I shared here might be one neglected by her:

0:38 May I as a former teacher speak up about both types of lonelieness?

I actually had two ninth graders who were in a couple.

They had different musical tastes (he : hip hop; she : classic). But they loved each other and they were both hard working at school subjects and ... shall we say, ambitious.

The school district was 54 km or more from North to South = 33.55 miles. Needless to say, it consisted of smaller villages and a ski resort, so, it was in the middle of nowhere, not much to do. Learning music and getting good at it was one of the things. There was a small chance someone doing that would be able to make a living, about as small a chance as any other, unless you inherited a farm (or were a stranger like the teachers and doctors and policemen).

I sometimes sat at their table, I wished them well. Next year, I was no longer teacher (I had only been a replacement for one term anyway), but I was still able to speak to some teachers. I heard they had broken up, because their musical tastes were different. Obviously, the teachers who were closer to them than I was had:

• made sure each should pursue the music style he or she cared about
• made sure they were* contracepting, so no baby forced them to stay together
• made sure they put real serious stuff (like marriage and parenthood) far ahead, so no immediate hopes made them stay together

or in other words, done absolutely precisely what was needed to break them up, so each could be more attentive to mentors rather than both being more attentive to each other.

Do I need to say more about why I hate modernity?

* "contracepting"

Or not "doing it full scale" in the first place.

Kennedy Report Reports Badly, Again, at Least First Three Minutes

Assorted retorts from yahoo boards and elsewhere: Kennedy Report Reports Badly, Again, at Least First Three Minutes · New blog on the kid: What is Noone or Too Few saying about Balenciaga?

In this video I got to 3:16, that is 3 minutes and 16 seconds. By then he has made it very clear, he is a techno-mancer. Or techno-mancy believer. "Computers know better than their programmers" - no, they don't.

Worse than we thought. The Satanic conspiracy goes deep

2:18 It so happens, the google translate software is made for human correction.

So, if I were to type "kuslig" in Swedish and you got "cosy" in English, precisely as with Danish "koselig" that would be an error. I would then have the opportunity to give feed back. The feedback would consist in stating the correct translation of "kuslig" is "spooky" or "eery" ...

This feedback function has obviously been abused. Happened on a first of april too.

Balenciaga does not mean "Baal is king" in Latin, that would be "Baal rex est" - though the more correct statement is "Baal is not king" and "Baal non est rex" ...

Balenciaga seems to be derived from a non-standard spelling of Valencia.

Balenciaga is not the standard Basque spelling, but "Valentziako Erkidegoa" = "Comunidad Valenciana" = "Valencian Community"

So, "Balenciaga" is non-standard spelling of "Valentziako" which is Basque for "Valencian"

2:28 The sophisticated algorithms are simply there to provide an "initial feedback" if the word makes sense.

If UNO makes a document in English and the Vatican translates it to Latin, which it could, the words corresponding in the English to the words in Latin are conferred with other texts that both languages have an example of (often UNO documents).

And yes, some sophistication is involved in making - I'll take a non-UNO example - not just "pater noster" equate to "our father" but "pater" to "father" and "noster" to "our" - it involves other texts that do not have one of the words and only the other, in the relevant position in the text. For instance "panem nostrum" would equate to "our bread" and hence the software would pick up that "noster, nostra, nostrum" is used twice and "pater" only once, so "our" is used twice (actually four times, sorry, for both Latin and English), while "pater" is used once in this position.

This is actually ALL that the very sophisticated software actually DOES. It's just that it does so for quite a lot of texts. But - even with a thousand texts in both Latin and English, the software's algorithms can still get something wrong, this still means that it needs correction, and it certainly means that corrections can override what the software would provide on its own.

Hence the perfect possibility for abusing the feedback function.

If you don't believe me on this, I'll give you an example. In Swedish "uppståndelse" has two meanings. It means basically "to stand up" ("att stå upp"), and from this it means both "resurrection" (Christ standing up among the disciples instead of lying down in the grave) and "commotion" (people standing up from their chairs because they are angry).

So, a Swedish Catholic was wishing a happy feast of the "uppståndelse" and Bing translate (which works basically like google translate, and is the translator used on FB) got what exact meaning of "uppståndelse" into English? Well, commotions are more commons than resurrections .... that's exactly and precisely how this very sophisticated software works.

2:48 No, probably not demonic, and if it were, it would mean demons were trying to pinpoint the company, and would be a reason to distrust them and defend it.

Very probably someone abusing the very necessary manual feedback function that translator softwares have.

3:03 If you type random stuff that is then "given a meaning" by manual feedback, that "meaning" will definitely show.

I have already stated why translators need this manual feedback.

So, the manual feedback can have been made by someone over eager to accuse Balenciaga of being more evil than it is, or by someone in Balenciaga if that is their level of evil, or by someone in Balenciaga if that's how they want to discredit people like you for being total noobs and totally gullible on computers.

So, go on and show off how you are superstitious about computers, and you'll be doing a hoaxter a big favour, and the same applies to your priest.

3:16 Yes, and Balenciaga, as an actual name simply means he has some connection to Valencia.

Probably means "Valencian" in Basque or something. The clothing company was originally founded by ...

Cristóbal Balenciaga Eizaguirre (Guetaria, Guipúzcoa; 21 de enero de 1895-Jávea, Alicante;1 23 de marzo de 1972), conocido simplemente como Balenciaga, ...
... Nació en la pequeña localidad vasca de Guetaria (Guipúzcoa), en España, en el seno de una familia humilde y católica. Su padre era un pescador que murió en el mar y su madre costurera.

So, Christopher Balenciaga Eizaguirre (21.I.1895 - 23.III.1972) mostly known as Balenciaga ...
... was born in the little Basque locality of Guetaria in Guipúzcoa, in Spain, in the "lap" of a humble and Catholic family. His father was a fisher who died at sea, and his mother a seamstress.

I'll look costurera up ... A dressmaker, also known as a seamstress, - yes, I was right.

I must admit, his reporting gets better later on.

16:41 [Here, Kennedy Hall is trying to make the case that Cristóbal Balenciaga Eizaguirre was a libertine who left Spain due to fears of Franco. Ergo, the policies of the company relect this.]

It seems Mr. Balenciaga went broke. 1968 to 1986, there was no brand Balenciaga.

It was bought up by strangers.

It is funny, or sad, however you prefer to see it, that the original Cristóbal Balenciaga was connected to Franco's family.

"Excepcionalmente, cuatro años después de su retirada, aceptó el encargo de diseñar un vestido, el de novia de Carmen Martínez-Bordiú, hija de una de sus clientas más importantes, Carmen Franco y Polo y, por lo tanto nieta del dictador Francisco Franco. La boda se celebró el 8 de marzo de 1972, siendo el vestido de Martínez-Bordiu la última obra de Balenciaga."

Exceptionally, four years after his retirement, he accepted the order of designing a dress, the wedding dress of Carmen Martínez-Bordiú, daughter of one of his most important clients, Carmen Franco y Polo, and this means she was grand-daughter of the dictator Francisco Franco. The wedding took place on March 8th of 1972, and the dress of Martínez-Bordiu was the last work of Balenciaga.

17:33 When you say "he was part of that movement of people" - is that from your university books on the Spanish Civil War?

19:02 I'd just have to correct you on "if they wanted a boy instead of a girl" to "as they" (institutionally) "wanted a boy instead of a girl" ... I think this practise of setting out or even directly killing newborn was made criminal only by Constantine the Great, as a first piece of Christian legislation.

Shoe 0n Head on Teacher / Teen Affairs with Female Teachers

The Creepy Female Teacher Epidemic
Shoe0nHead | 10.II.2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-UzxbPUur4

I

2:36 I happen to have been on a forum "for weirdos" (goths and other subcultures) contacted by a girl of 12 claiming she "had experience".

Yes, I think, in absence of prospects of marriage, where the sex desires should be taken care of in a more stable way, some girls of not just 12 but even 14 would want, not real molestation, but what a judge would count as such due to nullifying their consent as per legislations on "statutory rape".

I do not any longer frequent that forum, not because it is "for weirdos", but because one of its prominent members was arguably trying to lay a hex on me.

II

4:22 "this boy has recess"

Had to look it up.

"in school, a period of time between classes when children do not study"

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/recess

I would have guessed it meant detention (a word I had forgot).

III

4:37 Zamora and "John Doe" - is he anonymised?

[deleted comment to which I answer:]

@Pretty Boring OK, I can imagine, in some states.

John Doe is a pretty standard anonymising "name" like "Mengano, Fulano y ..." (forgot he third) in Spanish, right?

IV

4:56 No, the boy was obviously not a child.

In a saner society, the boy could have married a girl of his age, or why not even a first marriage with an older woman and then remarry after she dies ... if not at 13, then at 14.

By the way, Louis XI of France wiggled himself out of his first marriage (to an older woman, I think) by telling the Pope he was only 13 when they married.*

Aristotle has said, no animal is "a young" when it is able to reproduce itself. Which 13 year old boys somwhat often and 14 year old boys as often as not are.

Also, in a saner society, one normally would not have allowed female teachers to teach boys, and take some care about ale teachers teaching girls, after puberty of the pupil.

* See below, I either was wrong, or the recourse to the Pope was because his next bride was too close to the one he had been widowed from. Or, the newer state of wiki is wrong. And the girl wasn't older.

V

7:00 "the reality of being a victim"

Well, there is a social "reality" of acquiring a victim status and losing the secret quasi adult status given by the affair ...

But is this reality imposed by the perpetrators or by "society"?

Obviously, in days when marriage was possible for 14 year old men and 12 year old women, "reality" usually didn't "catch up" with them. Ergo, it is not the affair as such.

7:59 As it happens, the very next example you take finishes with the boy's parents being supportive of Vera when she got pregnant.

No harmful or painful "reality catching up" since you quickly go to the next case.

VI

8:22 I am 51. I can't drive.

Should a woman younger than myself who can drive be classified as pedophile of getting out with me, just because I can't drive?

I grew up in areas with excellent public conveyances. Vienna, Malmö, Lund ... (ok, Vienna was before I'd have been eligible for a licence anyway).

What catches my eye is that she was able to pick up an 8th grader in his house at 11 pm. Yes, pm, I checked again.

While an 8th grader would not necessarily be sleeping at 11pm (I recall reading to 1 or even 3 am), he would normally be up in his bedroom or watching a late TV show with family. How was she able to sneak past the parents or how was he able to do so?

Was she released because the parents were obviously involved and encouraging, or were both parents working outside home at night and she taking advantage of those occasions? Or perhaps a single parent working outside home?

Speaking of driving - if a girl I am into says she is [insert an age older than 18] and drives, but drives somewhat ... not totally professionally? ... should one start suspecting she is younger and that seeing her could be a set-up to stamp me as a pedo?

(I wonder if she'll come after me and hit me over my head for this suggestion, or for saying her driving is, I will not say risky, but shaky).

VII

9:02 Would that 14 year old boy have been better off as a married man than undergoing "special education"?

I would say yes.

Obviously, a society in which a 14 year old boy can marry would also be one in which he is allowed to work.

Some 14 year old boys would have married without per se working, if their dads were royalty or nobles, but more usual would have been cases when taking over a farm in newly conquered land or when herding the sheep or goats of the village.

So, while lowering marital ages would be very good, I think in many states one would also have to re-allow, re-legalise, work for teens.

VIII

9:25 Malvern Prep ... ha. Why am I reminded of the boarding school C. S. Lewis nicknamed Wyvern (England, not Pa)?

In that school some "bloods" (students compared to "full blood horses") were having sex with some "tarts" (students who offered their arse in return for protection and privileges). If you were neither "blood" nor "tart" (and CSL seemingly wasn't) you risked being an outcast (which CSL was, till getting a private tutor).

Can one perhaps state, not just bec. of school shootings, but also because of the swim coach at Malvern Pa, that education is overrated these days? Not that I don't enjoy being knowledgeable, but some occasions when becoming more so were socially very costly to me (even if I don't think there were tarts in that sense at my boarding school, I might have gotten a very unmerited reputation of being one behind my back, but that doesn't mean I was one, and if there were, I wasn't told).

IX

10:32 Note the person speaking of stopping to fight and letting it happen and being less uptight was, not a Roman Catholic priest, but a swim coach. I guess those are offending a bit more often than clergy. Even if they get caught less often, if even as much.

X

11:08 Citing the perp: "Naw, that's alright. Don't nobody have to know about it."

This sets up a completely different situation from actually marrying, since marriage is sth everyone is supposed to know about.

Secrecy of this type clearly sets up a distuation where as things are hidden, evil aspects of a relationship can be, for a time, hidden, and fester, and really victimise.

Especially horrible if the older party wants non-pregnancy as part of secrecy (for herself, if older party is the lady, for the younger party, if that is the lady) and aborts or forces younger party to abort. Sth which is of course easy to do when you have legal abortion.

As to the teacher assistant, if the allegations weren't lies because she was impopular, she is the first of these who really sets my blood boiling.

Btw, note again, teacher, not clergy.

Some guys still feel education is safe but Catholicism isn't? (OK, there is a fallen type of Catholicism involved, accepting Vatican II and "the spirit of Vatican II" - as opposed to just its actual letter, where this kind of thing did happen once in a while ...)

11:29 Teen saying "she's really a sick individual"

Have you heard of brain washing? It seems it works.

I don't know why that teacher assistant had no older guy, but while I think she was criminal, I don't think she was "sick" in the sense here alluded to.

XI

11:58 This again is sth where I have to find some fault with the teacher. B U T if "homosexual" activities remain legal, it is likely to continue and get worse. I don't like the word "homosexuality" because it is also used about a state of preference in the mind, whether real or presumed by other people about a person.

Wait, the mother had to wait two years before getting justice? Says something about the school discrict. Probably, some "gender theory agenda" interfered with normal law enforcement.

Like at the school where I (serving as teacher) was stamped as homosexual and the gym teacher told me I had to bear it, bc answering with indignation would be "pointing finger" at homosexuals who actually are such. His boy was one of the guys so insulting me, so he was protecting his son.

XII

13:12 One more special education teacher here?

Like, can we say whoever gave those guys the status of needing that, actually gave them a bad deal?

Florida question.

Florida is ex-Spanish and gets legislations inspired by Puritan New England, by psychology professors from Harvard ... bad match. It's like asking why some Christians in Armenia weren't following Soviet legislation back in those times (heard of marriages conducted at 15, despite Lenin introducing the infamous 18/18 limit).

PLUS New England being aware of that, Florida has less ease in simply ignoring bad laws, so the needs will not be served by registering fake ages for couples of actual 15/15 either or 15 year olds quitting school for that matter.

XIII

13:50 Did you say the boy was eleven ...?

I can definitely see why the mother would be contacting police.

XIV

14:16 If Laura Lynn Cross was at 37 still a "Miss" I think the matter with her was, "the clock ticking".

Getting a baby before it was too late makes sense.

XV

14:48 "there is a massive power imbalance, that's why the whole like school girl school 14:52 "teacher thing is such a commone role play. [So what ...]"

So, if a teacher is genuinely in love with a school girl, how do you propose getting the power imbalance out of the way, so that they can marry, if she responds?

One way that comes to mind, would be proposing openly and arranging for pupil x to be no more taught by teacher y.

Another reason it is such a common role play is obviously, the girl in question is not in fact a child, since school compulsions and legal marital majority have drafted or marrooned people past puberty in a fake "childlike" role.

XVI

15:25 You just called a man normal who spoke of castration?

You considered him a breath of fresh air?

Where are your norms from?

XVII

16:16 You spoke about yourself at 8.

You don't find it a bit over the top to compare 8, clearly child (most persons of most races, at least, perhaps not all in Arabia, if we shall give Muhammed a benefit of the doubt when it comes to Aisha) to teens clearly past puberty?

When these are blocked from marriage, predators will, not be, but in some moods definitely seem, like good news to them. And in some cases, as in the 14 year old boy who actually was not deprived of fatherhood, even be relatively good news.

16:20 I am not making the 8 year olds can consent argument (perhaps with exceptions for Arabia, as mentioned).

I am definitely making the argument 14 year old men and 12 year old women can consent.

That is where the Church for centuries on centuries placed the age limit for marriage.

16:29 The clip has really nothing to do with the main theme of your vlog : 14 year olds. 8th graders.

XVIII

17:19 I wonder what exactly went wrong those eleven years - getting sex, or getting it on condition of secrecy.

I opt for the latter.

Unless he got some psychological treatment after the affair, and the damage is from the psychologist treating him.

Ah:

"But I've been seing a therapist for a few years"

Well, maybe that's the problem.

Like there was a guy who was sentenced to mental hospital after confessing to murders and acts of cannibalism and corpse rape he didn't commit, he made those confessions mostly while on therapy in the hospital he was sentenced to.

You don't think there can be a very heavy power imbalance in a therapy situation?

And the guy who has attempted suicide seven times would perhaps not have done so if he hadn't been brought up with this kind of Puritanism.

It is certain ... wait, I think I had got some details on Louis XI wrong a few years ago when seeing wikipedia (which can have been changed since then).

It is definitely certain that Medieval teen marriages did not result in suicide attempts, unlike these secret affairs.
