RE: The Valkyrie's (semi) Daily Words of Wisdom
A "social contract" does not mean open season on sociologists


So...

If you need to claim you're an 'alpha male', you're not.

If you need to claim to be a 'genius', you're not.

If you claim to be a "sovereign citizen' and the laws of the nation you reside in don't apply to you, then neither does its protections, and you should be deported.

I'm sure that there is an atoll somewhere in the Pacific Ocean where they can be a sovereign. Never mind about high tide...

NZ has a little island called White Island.

That would be very suitable.

If it's anything like Greenland, maybe not.

Well, it erupted a few years ago and "neutralised" some tourists...

Maybe he could get himself a "warm" reception.  Hmph

The Valkyrie: "Sir, the surgery has a 50% survival rate, but don't worry, my last 20 patients have all survived"

The Patient: *gulp*
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

True story...

A few years ago I took over a surgery from a colleague who had an emergency. All I really had time to do is read the patient notes.

I hadn't even met the patient, until he was about to be wheeled into the theatre.

He said, "You look young, have you done this sort of operation before?", after learning I was going to be doing the surgery.

I replied, "Yes, I've done this sort of procedure dozens of timed."

He looked relieved until I added, "anyway, I need the practice because I'm not very good."

When my daughter had to have a hysterectomy a few years back she was pretty nervous.  On top of that it was not her regular gyno as he had retired.  She asked if the doctor had plenty of experience and the doc responded that she had watched a YouTube video on the procedure that morning.   Hehe
