    “Bill Gates wants to put a chip in my brain!” [Riots.]

      How long until they use their concentration camps for subjects? Promise the detainees freedom after “a few mild experiments” and you’d have plenty to test on.

          That’s just legit reason for Luigi at that point. Like that’s so horrifying I think most of the population in the US would murmur quiet approval, even if they’d voted for dump.

            So the reaction would be the same as when a piece of shit healthcare CEO got blue shelled?

            A quiet murmur of approval and understanding, then silence?

      Yes, but they are winning against the WOKEMINDVIRUS, which was obviously having so much impact on their personal lives…

        But now they’ve been saved from the scourge of, umm, people who put pronouns in their email signature.

          Next they’ll come for Mr. Ms. and Mrs.

          You know, I just noticed: there’s no “r” in missus, so abbreviating it “Mrs” doesn’t really make sense. Maybe it’s supposed to be a possessive, like Mr’s, rather than an actual gender signifier.

            The abbreviations Mr. and Mrs. derive from master and mistress, respectively. Over time we’ve kinda lazily shortened the pronunciation from mistress to missus but kept the abbreviation.

    Good on her for staying, but as I recall, formal notice would’ve only given her 30 more days.

    Remember how Christians would throw fits about things like barcodes and credit cards, because they were worried about “the Mark of the Beast?”

    If Elon requires everyone to be chipped to buy and sell stuff, will that be enough to get them to see what’s going on?
