Apparently, in Illinois it’s illegal to retain thieves’ “biometric data” in order to identify them without their permission.
The “biometric data” in question? The private, secret, intensely personal biometric data that must be vigilantly protected against unauthorised access?
Their face!
It was disturbing how many of the commune people wants to work/teach the kids. No freaking way
They’re all just taking in each others’ washing – and not even getting the stains out.
In between all the ancestral healing and proof-reading of manifestos.
Why is a levitating armoured medieval crusader running the world’s strangest zoo?
Ruth Hunt: the smugness shows on her face even with the sound off.
Socialism: Back in the day I visited some communes. They were all supported by an outside source such as a rock band or drug dealing. A commune type coffee shop near me lasted 6 months.
A free market harnesses the energy and motivation of the individual. Socialism (including labor unions and gov offices) empowers the lazy. They are not equivalent.
Mr. Doom the Medevac guy has the only useful job on that commune. Not really sustainable, though.
“We’re a very bright bunch and we talk a lot“
Well, it’s got it half-right.
But nothing like the real thing (spoiler alert)
F*** ’em. It’s Target. They encourage the shoplifting by their passivity and wokeness. And they should be sued by every non-shoplifting customer for capturing their biometric data. Granted that’s probably like three or four people..but still…
Communes: if you go to college, it is like a commune–you live in a dorm, never have to clean, food just appears in the cafeteria, you hang out and get high. Of course either Daddy pays or you are racking up huge debts, but the wankers kind of like the lifestyle and say, “hey, let’s have a commune like this”, totally oblivious of the costs.
Fake vagina: I had the sense not to look. urgh If you are a guy and really want someone to fuck you, just do anal. Much much safer than the surgery.
Tortoises: the leopard knows he can’t eat them, so they are safe. The mating attempt is funny–it is a miracle they can reproduce.
Oh why oh why did I click? Ye gods – I’ve seen day’s-old squirrel roadkill that looked better than whatever that was – I’m guessing barbie pocket gone awry? This is gender euphoria? Where the fark are the lawsuits? How can the world not see the mental illness shrieking from this? No sane person would do that to themselves. Yet it’s no longer a mental illness but something to be celebrated and worshipped in the new woke religion. Or Else.
I should point out it’s quite… graphic.
There’s not enough eye bleach.
There are some things I need know nothing of.
To hell with “reform” and ‘rehabilitation”. Throw all of them in a deep hole.
Are ‘smugged’ and ‘smuggery’ actual words?
A smuggery is where insufferable oenophiles gather to drink and sneer.
Could you not feel the affirmation…?
Worse, no sane person would do that to another human being. The doctors who perform these butcheries, the nurses who assist, the hospital administrators who coordinate these things…but especially the doctors and nurses…are their own kind on insanity. One can argue it being more or less so than the patient, but the patient itself doesn’t disturb me anywhere near as much as the people who do this to them. Where is the effort to stop them? Why do other doctors tolerate them being in their profession? Why do other doctors willingly associate in any way with those institutions?
They say that surgeons tend to have a bit of sadism in their personalities. But med school is supposed to weed out all the bad ones, dammit.
Further proof ‘health experts’ are not to be trusted:
Has any sentence’s meaning changed more than “I blew a tranny at the drag race”?
No, don’t bother, David, I’ll let myself out.
There is a reason Hadrian built a wall.
This program(me) brought to you by the same government paid bunch that last year was in hot water for the thing that never happens.

London is now host to frequent Pro-Palestinian “Hate” marches at which the woke express their love of kindness, diversity and inclusion. Vigorously.
Last Saturday, however, a pedestrian was inadvertently confronted with one of these events (they are now everywhere) and was immediately stopped by the Metropolitan Police who informed him that he was being “quite openly jewish” and that this was “causing a breach of the peace” by “antagonising the large group of people“.
The nice police officer offered to have THE JEW “escorted out of the area so you can go about your business” or “if you choose to remain here … you will be arrested”.
The nice police officer then assisted THE JEW into a protective wooden enclosure running on rails which would transport him to a safe and secure area. Probably.
If you laugh at this, you’re a terrible, terrible person.
What?
Frankly, the more time I spend with my own family the less I want to redistribute my wealth amongst them. So I can only imagine how I’d feel about the murderous Danish poor.
I have a giving nature. 🙂
Thanks for the hours of wrongthink.
Such is the stuff of which dreams are woven.
I’ve been reading Theodore Dalrymple’s Life At The Bottom: The Worldview That Makes The Underclass, so the findings had a certain… resonance.
Bless you, sir. May your favourite old shirt fade in a pleasing way.

I did say…
Each culture has its own language to hide the truth. France has “les Jeunes”. Britain has “Asians”. America has “youths”. How many items can we add to this list?
I’m back.
How do we know those turtles aren’t gay?
from the link:
also true:
Exposure to university professors reduces support for subsidizing universities.
All the more reason to usher them out of it posthaste.
Which gives me an excuse to once again dig out this baby, on ‘litter inequality’:
Oh, there’s more.
The court is a ass — a idiot.
Or usher them into the socialist paradise they desire: Let them do agricultural labor 16 hours a day in exchange for a subsistence diet and a cot in a ramshackle barracks. If they survive they can write memoirs with such titles as One Day in the Life of They/Them Denisovich.
Treating people as having agency is wrongthink.
As I said in the original thread, a remarkable number of progressives don’t wish to acknowledge certain, quite common – and quite obvious – differences in behaviour. And so, our Guardian columnist, a professional academic, along with his editor and the authors of the quoted report all share the same ideological blind spot. The same bizarre failure of basic logic.
To the extent that a supposedly serious report on litter inequality, a supposed basis for government policy, somehow avoids any suggestion of agency on the part of the local population. Thereby giving the impression that nobody is actually dropping the litter, no-one is responsible. No-one keeps on doing it, over and over again. The litter just appears, mysteriously, like overnight snow.
Are you a terrible, terrible person because you laugh or do you laugh because you’re a terrible, terrible person.
His If Symptoms Persist, If Symptoms Still Persist, and Second Opinion, collections of columns written for The Spectator, are worth the time.

Could you not feel the affirmation…?
Oh I felt the affirmation all right – the affirmation that my initial assessment of insanity was correct. That isn’t the first image of roadkill crotch posted on twitter or reddit – how can the same people whose tolerance of risk is extremely low when it comes to covid be so high when it comes to carving up the delicate bits? I guess med shows on tv have got people thinking surgery is no big deal. That and they’re crazy.
Also at the linked post, a mention of “penile preservation vaginoplasty” – isn’t that what that Ontario court decided the Canadian NHS must pay some Canadian guy to go to Texas (!) to get done?
German man fakes being dead. Brazilian man fakes being alive. Same but different.

She seems nice.
Migrants in NYC complain that people who live there and provide them with free services are not willing to learn hundreds of different African languages. They go on to call NYC “racist” and “shameful.”
I am happy to suggest that they fuck off back to where they came from. And when they get there they can fuck off some more.
