The Doctor is IN! And your capacity to experience even a twinge of sexual pleasure is out.
Dude actually advertises that he performs “female circumcision.” This ain’t no peasant woman with a rusty knife in some forest clearing – this is an actual MD with a pleasant office and the whole nine… er … centimeters…
Nowheresville Fremont has been smuggling proselytizers into its public schools, and someone there seems to have complained to the FFRF.
One of the Christian groups is the famed Gideons, whose bibles burst out of your hotel drawer. The Gids were doing what they do, unloading masses of Big Books onto their captive student audience.
The other group pilgrimmed around the school, itinerant preachers looking for 15 year old souls to save. Muslim souls? Atheist souls? Fuck! That’s the reason we’re preaching, dummy! It bugs us that they’re all going to hell.
Another save, back in 2022.
Cuz he’s been a bad boy … It’s not just his betting on games; he’s also apparently way into guns and drugs and shit.
He’s in lotsa legal trouble but until he – what? – murders somebody? – he’ll stay on the team in good standing, a giant of the gridiron, our hero.
Not if you keep shooting it to death.
‘Yet another shooting here…’
‘Nice place to get lit up and by lit up I mean shot…’
‘At the end of the night end up getting locked inside for a short time because something was going on outside the club. However, I will say their security guard Mike was phenomenal and great. Helped me get my friend into our car safely…’
Patron reviews say it all, don’t they? But no one in Denver gives a shit, so the POPOPOPOPOPOP keeps popping along.
Tucson’s mayor, surveying her city’s bloody streets after another mundane massacre, wonders why morons with magnums still rule her world.

‘So on the question of [multiple sexes] being “settled science,” as the AAA said at the time, there was a survey in 2022, published in the journal Forensic Anthropology, that asked forensic anthropologists about this question, and 42 percent of them said they agree that sex is binary, and 56 percent disagreed that it’s binary. So that ratio would seem to indicate that, in the field, the question hadn’t actually been settled, and I was wondering how you explain that.
I don’t believe in opinion research… I just don’t trust opinion polling.’

They refuse to sit next to women on planes, and I guess sometimes airlines accommodate their assholery; but when they don’t, things can get very bad very quickly. The latest incident featured a Sharia maniac slapping a female crew member who attempted to reason with him when he did his no-women-next-to-me thing. He was arrested.
And, once comfortably assembled, it can comfortably blow out your brain.
Indeed the ease and comfort of gun suicide is one reason its incidence in this country is soaring.
You can even be a psychologically fragile 18 year old and all you have to do is send away for your very own suicide kit — no questions asked! — and bingo you’re out of the running. Too easy…

Whether hookah or biker, lounge or breastaurant, the best way to haul out all your guns and kill people is to pack into one of these epicenters of the violent mentally retarded. Country music and cheap beer provide the atmospherics, the specifically American gestalt, for the ripping open of more tattooed flesh than you can shake a stick of numbing cream at.
A biker bar in Connecticut is the latest abattoir; on Facebook (see this post’s title) a knowledgeable local explains why she stopped going to the place.
… is such that sometimes our suffering in dying overwhelms, and we want it to end.
France has now joined ten countries, plus some states/regions in the US and Germany, where assisted dying is legal.
