Who thinks it’s a good idea to glue yourself to the road???

 

Several commenters on that twitter thread point out that the guy comes off like one of those wussy, lazy, unmanly and cowardly soccer players that help to make the game so unwatchable:

This is for those in a particularly *nasty* mood. In short, a thief decides to rob a place, gets surprised by the neighbors, takes a tumble from the second story and impales himself on the spike-topped fence. And doesn’t die… not immediately, anyway, and not before making a lot of unhappy sounds.

Should you feel bad over someone who has been multiply skewered? If it was just some guy, sure. But it seems this feller’s a criminal. So… up to you, I suppose. If the story is accurate, this is a guy who intentionally set out to make the world a worse place, and ended up stuck on top of a gate. Surprisingly strong lungs for someone who looks like he should have steel spikes driven eight inches through at least on of ’em. The people standing around filing him seem pretty nonchalant.

What do we learn from this? Maybe one lesson might be to not be a burglar. Just a thought.

Her explanation fits *me* precisely. I do not and have never had a religious objection to abortion. I was for a quite a while on the “meh” side of the argument. What flipped me? The Moloch-worshipping (and that’s not even my religion) baby-haters, losing their minds and turning something that *should* be seen as at best unfortunate into something they are *proud* of.

UPDATE: The account was made private, even though the creator said nothing even remotely crazy. I suspect The Usual Suspects started getting threatening.

UPDATED UPDATE: The account seems to have been un-privated.

So here, at least for now, is a YouTube version of the video:

The Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade has brought out the hateful and violent rhetoric of many on the Left in *spades.* Go peruse Libs of TikTok for a plethora of examples of death threats,  advocations of assassinations, etc. Far too many to post here.

That said, there is one particular story that is instructive on several levels: a registered nurse claimed that she bases her medication prescriptions not on the needs of the patient, but on their race and politics. Good news/bad news: The bad is that there are such hateful people out there. The good is that they often publicly tout their badness. The double-plus bad is that they feel safe and comfortable doing so, because they know that since they are on the politically correct side, their malfeasance will often be ignored. They can get away with doing what they’re doing.

 

She felt comfortable enough to say it publicly. How long has she been actually *doing* it?

Well, there is some double-plus good news:

“Resigned.” Yeah, I kinda expect that she was pushed out the door. And I kinda expect that the hospital now has *all* of their lawyers working overtime, poring through every last record of every last patient this twit had anything to do with. Were you one of her patients? Did anything seem a  little off? Were the meds she prescribed not quite right, or didn’t quite do the job? Yeah… lawsuits are coming.

Young women’s psychological distress increases when they change their identity away from the heterosexual norm

I can’t say that I find this shocking. “Heterosexual” is obviously – and necessarily – the default for any mammalian species. Without it, the species does not reproduce, and thus dies out, making way for other species that *do* reproduce. But in recent years, there has been substantial social pressure, seeming aimed more at women, to abandon the default in favor of homosexuality. And peer pressure can be quite effective at convincing young people to do things that they don’t really want to do… and once they’ve done it, they often regret it.

Women whose sexual identity changed in a more same-sex-oriented direction tended to report greater psychological distress compared to women whose sexual identity remained stable. In contrast, women whose sexual identity changed in a less same-sex-oriented direction tended to report less psychological distress compared to women whose sexual identity remained stable.

Color me stunned.

This quote from one of the study authors kinda leads off the article. It says a few things that seem like they really aught to be followed up,  but are, at least in the article, glossed over or outright ignored:

“This is true for many people, and we know that efforts to try and force people to change their sexual orientations are extremely harmful and do not work. However, there are a proportion of women who do experience changes to their sexual attractions and sexual identities across their lives. The sexualities of young women today in particular are less binary and more fluid than ever before.”

A) Yes, it’s harmful to try to force someone to change their sexuality. This includes, does it not, efforts to make straight girls lesbians? It includes, does it not, efforts to convince girls that they are actually boys, boys that they are actually girls?

B) Yes, young women today seem less binary than in millenia past. Ummm… WHY???

There is a sci-fi explanation for this, of course.

Is it illegal? It’s certainly fraudulent. And it’s something to watch out for.

Never mind the “let’s bring in cartel money” aspect, which I’m *really* certain is illegal.

Additionally: she is a special kind of stupid for discussing this on a phone call to an inmate, when it is open knowledge that such calls are recorded. On the other hand, she’s a Democrat, so her chances of being reported on by the media, never mind arrested, are minimal.
