Monday morning vulgar Valentine

by | Feb 14, 2023 | Mondays | 6 comments

Yes, I know, this post is late, again. It couldn’t be helped. I have been STUPIDLY busy over the past few weeks, and this week promises to be the busiest yet. But, the show must go on, especially when we have to help our brothers get through the horrors of Valentine’s Day. So here is the Great Mondaydact Browser Smasher to help ease your pain.

And what, exactly, is this whole ridiculous Valentine’s racket all about, anyway? As far as I can tell, it is a vast and evil conspiracy by a terrible cartel of florists, chocolatiers, wine-makers, and greeting card companies, to fleece gullible men of their money.

Its origins, however, are rather more interesting than one might expect:

Other cultures have rather more sensible ways of celebrating all of this malarkey than Western ones do:

And, of course, if men must waste a bunch of time and money trying to make women happy, then women can damn well repay the favour on March 14th:

Hey, I DID say it would be a vulgar Valentine’s Day, did I not?

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is all about how love is MAFF:

It turns out that dating really is a numbers game, as a mathematician has revealed the formula for finding love, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

According to Dr Gihan Marasingha from the University of Exeter, you can raise your chances of finding your perfect match after meeting just a portion of your dates.

He said: ‘To have the highest chance of picking the very best suitor you should date and reject the first 37 per cent of your group of suitors.’ 

The trick is to then pick the next most attractive suitor available in the other 63 per cent for a date, and they are statistically most likely to be the one for you.

This theory is known as the ‘the optimal stopping problem’ and was popularised by maths enthusiast Martin Gardner in 1960.

It assumes the single person has a defined number of potential suitors, of which one of them is the best by an objective ranking system, like on physical attraction.

If they could all be compared at the same time that would be easy, but in reality a person must meet each of these dates one-by-one, in a random order. 

‘The setup is such that you have no prior information about any of the suitors,’ Dr Marasingha said.

‘You can try each one in turn but cannot return to one you have already tried.

‘Clearly, it’s not a good idea to choose the first suitor you encounter.’

What the singleton can do is date a certain proportion of the group – ‘x’ per cent – and each of these dated suitors will have a certain ranking on their objective scale.

They can then choose to date the next suitor from the remaining bunch who is better than anyone they have ever dated before.

This is a gamble, as they may have already rejected the best suitor, and the one they pick may not be the very best in that remaining group.

However, using maths can help them maximise the chances of a good match.

Does anyone remember a TV show called NUMB3RS, starring David Krumholz, which was all about how MAFF could help solve murders? This is like that, only much more lame.


Your long read of the week is the stunning article from Seymour Hersh, which confirmed what most anyone with half a brain figured out months ago, but with some additional twists and incredible details – that America destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines, in an act of premeditated malice against its own European allies:

The U.S. Navy’s Diving and Salvage Center can be found in a location as obscure as its name—down what was once a country lane in rural Panama City, a now-booming resort city in the southwestern panhandle of Florida, 70 miles south of the Alabama border. The center’s complex is as nondescript as its location—a drab concrete post-World War II structure that has the look of a vocational high school on the west side of Chicago. A coin-operated laundromat and a dance school are across what is now a four-lane road.

The center has been training highly skilled deep-water divers for decades who, once assigned to American military units worldwide, are capable of technical diving to do the good—using C4 explosives to clear harbors and beaches of debris and unexploded ordinance—as well as the bad, like blowing up foreign oil rigs, fouling intake valves for undersea power plants, destroying locks on crucial shipping canals. The Panama City center, which boasts the second largest indoor pool in America, was the perfect place to recruit the best, and most taciturn, graduates of the diving school who successfully did last summer what they had been authorized to do 260 feet under the surface of the Baltic Sea.

Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.

Two of the pipelines, which were known collectively as Nord Stream 1, had been providing Germany and much of Western Europe with cheap Russian natural gas for more than a decade. A second pair of pipelines, called Nord Stream 2, had been built but were not yet operational. Now, with Russian troops massing on the Ukrainian border and the bloodiest war in Europe since 1945 looming, President Joseph Biden saw the pipelines as a vehicle for Vladimir Putin to weaponize natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions.

Asked for comment, Adrienne Watson, a White House spokesperson, said in an email, “This is false and complete fiction.” Tammy Thorp, a spokesperson for the Central Intelligence Agency, similarly wrote: “This claim is completely and utterly false.”

Biden’s decision to sabotage the pipelines came after more than nine months of highly secret back and forth debate inside Washington’s national security community about how to best achieve that goal. For much of that time, the issue was not whether to do the mission, but how to get it done with no overt clue as to who was responsible.

There was a vital bureaucratic reason for relying on the graduates of the center’s hardcore diving school in Panama City. The divers were Navy only, and not members of America’s Special Operations Command, whose covert operations must be reported to Congress and briefed in advance to the Senate and House leadership—the so-called Gang of Eight. The Biden Administration was doing everything possible to avoid leaks as the planning took place late in 2021 and into the first months of 2022.

President Biden and his foreign policy team—National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and Victoria Nuland, the Undersecretary of State for Policy—had been vocal and consistent in their hostility to the two pipelines, which ran side by side for 750 miles under the Baltic Sea from two different ports in northeastern Russia near the Estonian border, passing close to the Danish island of Bornholm before ending in northern Germany.

The direct route, which bypassed any need to transit Ukraine, had been a boon for the German economy, which enjoyed an abundance of cheap Russian natural gas—enough to run its factories and heat its homes while enabling German distributors to sell excess gas, at a profit, throughout Western Europe. Action that could be traced to the administration would violate US promises to minimize direct conflict with Russia. Secrecy was essential.

Read the whole thing. The details are staggering – particularly about Norwegian involvement in the affair, which indicate a level of European and American Germanophobia that is genuinely amazing. It also shows that the USSA truly is a terrorist state that richly deserves destruction, and that American dumbocracy is an utter joke if its literally Satanic and vampiric elites can get away with this level of provocation.
