Stupidity should be painful and/or expensive.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

One questions where the charge codes for such a procedure would be gynecological or psychiatric.

I know which one that they should be...

Someone actually sued over this   :rofl:

Quote
A Chicago man filed a lawsuit against the chicken wing chain last week for false advertising, saying the boneless wings are overpriced since they are basically chicken nuggets.
Quote
"It’s true," the restaurant chain tweeted on Monday. "Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken. Our hamburgers contain no ham. Our buffalo wings are 0% buffalo."

Speaking of buffalo...

Here's some non-binary buffalo for kids. Courtesy of Netflix.

And in other news, who knew that a bunch of trans people starting an alpaca farm commune would end in disaster? Most shocked.

Another episode in the slow melt-down of MeToo:

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/benbartee/2023/03/14/metoo-propagandist-settles-million-dollar-defamation-lawsuit-n1678309

I was unaware that some journalist had circulated a private (now not-so-private) list of “Sh**ty Media Men.” One of these sh**ty men sued for defamation, and got a settlement.

Now let us all imagine the caterwauling that would ensue from a list of “Media Nympho Chicks That Are DTF” or “Chicks in Media That Will Sleep With You and Then Accuse You of Rape.” (Or not. Up to you.)

University DEI training. Which four people do you leave to die?

Also, I'm definitely taking the racist, armed police officer with me. We're going to another planet, and he's armed. He'll be the most useful person. Also Short Round will likely be useful.

Not too difficult. Obviously, we leave the disabled guy and the homosexual vegan. Ditch the junkie. After that, I think the med student would be more useful than the old administrator. Both are likely to be obnoxiously woke, but at least one of them wants to do something helpful with his life.

From the standpoint of repopulating the planet, I am choosing any female of childbearing age as a priority.  I would probably leave behind the university administrator, the professional athlete, the novelist, and the 12 year old.

Did you just assume their gender?

Throw of the dice. There's a 1 in 456 chance I got it right. Currently better odds than the lottery but give them time.
