The idiots always try to drag the more intelligent people down to their level in an attempt to win with childhood insults.

Whatever. We have SCOTUS decisions. They have crude insults.

Sigmund Freud Museum

Barb and I recently visited Central Europe. In Vienna we were walking from our Air B & B to some sort of public transportation to visit Schönbrunn Palace (the main summer residence of the Habsburg rulers set on what amounts to a 400-acre park) when I saw this and did a double take:

What? Oh, yeah, Freud was from Vienna!

In high school there was a psychology class, and I heard other students talking about the Id, Super Ego, Oedipus Complex, etc. I read a little about it and was not impressed. It wasn’t like so many other classes I took, like the math and science stuff which once the teacher introduced a topic it “just made sense”. Of course this was right, it fit in with everything else I knew. This psychology stuff was something different. Did the human mind really work like this? It just didn’t make sense to me and I didn’t take the class.

In college I had to take some “humanities” classes and in what I think was my second or third semester I took Psych 101. One of the first things the professor said was, paraphrasing:

Freud created the science of psychology. Other than the existence and importance of the unconscious mind, we have painstakingly proved everything he said about the human mind is not true.

Freud was such a powerful figure it had taken two generations after his death to finally reach the point where people called B.S. on his work. And to this day we still have remnants of his legacy with Markley’s Law.

I loved that psychology class. It wasn’t the “this makes sense” type of stuff to the extent of the of math and the hard sciences but it was based on decent research and did make a certain amount of sense. I took numerous other psych classes throughout my undergraduate years and probably was close to having a minor degree in psychology. It was really easy and I got A’s in all of them.

Now here I am, a two-minute walk from Frued’s office and residence. Whatever I think of Freud’s work, I have to see this museum. The next day, on September 1st, we visited the museum.

It was a little disappointing, but I’m glad I did it. Here are a few pictures:

Projection

Interesting projection. In prison, peopled identifying as Democrat outnumber all others combined by a factor of 2:1. And a huge percentage of violence crime is committed by people using a gun is in deep blue cities.

One has to wonder if the small dick insult is also a projection.

In any case, as Dan recently wrote:

Expecting logic, facts and reason to be part of the “gun grabbing” agenda is a fools errand.

Sorry About Your Suspended Account

I am gun owner with many hours of range and tactical practice and a concealed carry license. You do not need an automatic weapon to hunt. Or to “protect” yourself. Stfu, you impotent crybaby losers. I’m sorry about your small weiners.

They are sorry about something that doesn’t exist? There is something quite fitting about that. I’m sorry their account doesn’t exist either. It makes further mocking difficult and less effective.



Cracked Up

It always cracks me up when I come back from the farm to see that a whole bunch of twidiots who substitute guns for their penises have spent the whole day tweeting at me, thinking their comments upset me because they know that people like me will take their precious guns away. 😆

Yes, 2022. I have a long queue of Markley’s Law examples.

Don’t ever let anyone get away with anyone telling you that no one wants to take your guns.

Muting this thread because you all are some of the stupidest MFers I’ve seen. You don’t need an assault rifle to protect yourself (and I’d bet you’ve never needed to protect yourself anyway) you’re just compensating for your small dicks.

Grow Up

The only way you can conclude guns are the biggest cause of death of children is if you include all teenagers as “children”. This lets you include 17 through 19 year-old gang members as “children”. Hence she is, being generous, distorting the truth in her attempt to achieve her evil goals.

She describes herself as

I ❤️ Kpop & horizontal folk dancing.Queen of the Sooky La la’s & a hypersexualised atheistic bisexual commie satanic childless cat lady ‍⬛

She then uses a childish insult and tells us to “grow up”? Wow!

I have to give him a bonus point for the phrase “Micropenis Rapid Response Force”. I have not heard that one before.

And he gets another bonus point for the prejudice of expecting gun owners to be perpetrators of domestic violence.

Size Matters? Penis Dissatisfaction and Gun Ownership in America – PubMed (nih.gov)

In this study, we formally examine the association between penis size dissatisfaction and gun ownership in America. The primary hypothesis, derived from the psychosexual theory of gun ownership, asserts that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises will be more likely to personally own guns. To test this hypothesis, we used data collected from the 2023 Masculinity, Sexual Health, and Politics (MSHAP) survey, a national probability sample of 1,840 men, and regression analyses to model personal gun ownership as a function of penis size dissatisfaction, experiences with penis enlargement, social desirability, masculinity, body mass, mental health, and a range of sociodemographic characteristics. We find that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises are less likely to personally own guns across outcomes, including any gun ownership, military-style rifle ownership, and total number of guns owned. The inverse association between penis size dissatisfaction and gun ownership is linear; however, the association is weakest among men ages 60 and older. With these findings in mind, we failed to observe any differences in personal gun ownership between men who have and have not attempted penis enlargement. To our knowledge, this is the first study to formally examine the association between penis size and personal gun ownership in America. Our findings fail to support the psychosexual theory of gun ownership. Alternative theories are posited for the apparent inverse association between penis size dissatisfaction and personal gun ownership, including higher levels of testosterone and constructionist explanations.

Also, from the paper, this additional bit of irony:

Funding: The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: The data collection for this study was supported by funding from Change The Ref, an organization that “uses urban art and nonviolent creative confrontation to expose the disastrous effects of the mass shooting pandemic.” Although Change The Ref holds a clear political stance with respect to the role of guns in society, this organization played no part in the planning or implementation of the study.

Yes, an anti-gun organization paid for this study.

And a final bit of irony is that there is more than one way to interpret the results of this study which I have not found mentioned anywhere. It could be that the gun owning men satisfied with their penis size are happy because they have successfully compensated for their small penis with gun ownership.

I was referred to this study by numerous people. Here are the ones I can recall. If someone else also brought it to my attention and I failed to give them credit, I apologize.

I was referred to this by In Chains @InChainsInJail. Zheng then told me not to procreate. I suspect what she really meant was that she wants me dead, but even if she was just passing judgement on my fitness for parenthood, that she thinks she should be able to make a decision like that for others is very telling. Anti-gun people are tyrants with, at most, a thin veneer of respectability.

They must have an exceptionally small imagination and narrow mind to believe those are the only two options to own and carry a gun. Especially, since one of the people in the picture is a woman.
