Because to take away a manΓ’β¬β’s freedom of choice, even his freedom to make the wrong choice, is to manipulate him as though he were a puppet and not a person.
— Madeleine L’Engle

ROFLMAO That about sums up roadside chivalry in 2023 – and beyond if Americans don’t force a course correction. But, what’s truly sad is this is actually an improvement, because most of the Millennial and Gen Z bois can’t change a tire right now. So, genderfucked and tranny sorts being able and willing to do so is actually better. π

In these times, mediocre male athletes have ways of improving their standings in their sports, gaining approval for doing so, and raking in the cash from their new endorsement contracts. And the only cost is to the safety, fairness, and sanctity of women’s sports.
So, go for it, Bois and Gurls. Lack of ability is no longer necessarily a barrier. π Hellfire! In these times, even if you’re not good enough to dominate in the Women’s leagues, you’ll be considered brave enough to still get those high-dollar endorsements.

While it’s true that all attempts at macroeconomic theory are essentially voodoo, it takes on a whole different and more depraved tenor when Congress gets involves. And the Fed? The Gods alone know what arcane rituals they utilize, but I’d not be surprised if those rituals made them the #1 buyer of Planned Parenthood’s products. π

The idea of combining an anti-tank mine with a robot vacuum is hilarious. It’s also a bit terrifying. And… it’s probably either already out there in our military’s arsenal or in development. After all, iRobot, the makers of the Roomba, pretty much got their start designing and producing robots for the US military.
Think about it. Either RC or, given that shape recognition software is quite mature technology, autonomous Doombas that can be set in place to await enemy vehicles could easily be done – assuming they haven’t already quietly been so. And then there’s the obvious antipersonnel variant that would mount a flip-up M18A1 Claymore mine or a set of 6 Miniature Grenade Launchers (MGL) such are used with the M7 Spider networked anti-personnel munitions system.
I can hear it now, “Alexa, I’d like to destroy that ZTZ-99A now.”
