Friday Ephemera (783)
Well, at least her phone was okay. || Hers may be the biggest I’ve ever seen. || Hoovering of note. || I vote for the magic bucket. || “Over 80% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border.” || Oh look, bubbles. || Bristol’s bonfire kids, 1962. || Not unfair. || Nommy-nommy-nom. || A use of other people’s time and money. || The rapid sorting of tomatoes. Also, potatoes. || At last, toilet-paper mushrooms. || More peer-reviewed scholarship. || Inapt fap. || Space reserved. || The progressive retail experience, parts 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665 and 666. || Parking scenes. || Unlikely leaf propellant. || Thing that never happens happens again. || The right tool. || Sights of London. || Newcomers. || And finally, on making The Wizard of Oz – a tale of fires, amphetamines and asbestos snow.

Far too much gentle treatment of savages and ferals.
Once again, it should be legal for victims and bystanders to respond to assault with violence sufficient to discourage recidivism. Because that’s all these animals understand.
If memory serves, at one time no victim or bystander would ever have been arrested (much less charged) for beating up these sorts of criminals.
Even if technically against the law, it was near universally regarded as reasonable and justified.
Useful historical context: the mad hatter’s hat. As a child I could understand “In this style” but knew nothing about typical prices of the time
I think it’s fair to say the primitive in question is incompatible with civilisation, and most likely always will be. I mean, the notion that such creatures can somehow be made compatible, made into functional contributors to our society, rather than a chronic drain on it, does seem rather far-fetched.
Have you accepted mycelium into your heart?
For fraud and pron, not because he shouldn’t have been within a parsec of a patient.
Have you accepted mycelium into your heart?
If so, not for long.
Define ‘on’.
It’s all mummery. The likely consequence is a room upgrade at the Madeley Court.
Those who peddle that lie are just as evil as the savages–no, more so.
It seems to me that a civilised society should not waste effort and finite resources on absurd attempts to subtract the savagery from incoming savages. Instead, it should stop importing savages, remove those already present, and focus on choosing better people.
As if the society in question had value. And some goddamn self-respect.
The political and intellectual ruling class respects itself.
But it despises us.
I don’t disagree but she’d have to open a window or door and expose herself to potential danger. Running him over with the bus wouldn’t harm the bus or put her in danger. A brief bumpbump and it’s all over.
The last valid backup is on punch cards and nobody has a functional reader.
