This doesn't make any sense, how would anyone profit if everyone was dead? Did they not think this out? And have FEMA camps ever been used at all? EDIT: Whoops, didn't realize someone posted soemthign like this. To add: Nikaer Drekin posted:Anyone curious about the whole intersex topic should read Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I mean, it's a novel, so I'm not sure whether it's completely factual, but I believe the intersex community has had a positive reaction to it- it does a really good job of getting into the mindset of an intersex person. Middlesex was a great book and is very worth reading, Eugenides is an amazing author and really knows how to craft a story. However if you are only interested in reading about intersex and the mind-set, only read the last 150 pages, the rest is just back story about the family and nothing more. casual poster has a new favorite as of 06:56 on Oct 11, 2014 |

karl fungus posted:Why is it always FEMA, of all agencies, doing the death camps? Because they are the federal agency responsible for handling large amounts of dead people. FEMA does do things like purchase massive stockpiles of coffins, but it's because they hosed up so bad during Hurricane Katrina that they actually want to be prepared if they have to deal with a flooded city full of floating corpses again.

We should really be worried if FEMA starts stocking up on wood chippers instead of trailers, body bags and coffins.

RFC2324 posted:Its actually exactly the same math being done, other than being an estimate instead of an exact calculation. You just don't think about it. Come on, this is stupid. You don't need to know algebra to estimate those types of things, because it's something your brain does automatically. So it definitely makes sense that it shouldn't count. Of course the whole "We don't use the math we learn in highschool!" thing is stupid too.

karl fungus posted:Why is it always FEMA, of all agencies, doing the death camps? Because of Rex 84: quote:Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, was a classified "scenario and drill" developed by the United States federal government to suspend the United States Constitution, declare martial law, place military commanders in charge of state and local governments, and detain large numbers of American citizens who are deemed to be "national security threats", in the event that the President declares a "State of National Emergency". The plan states, events causing such a declaration would be widespread U.S. opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad, such as if the United States were to directly invade Central America.[1][2][3][4][5] To combat what the government perceived as "subversive activities", the plan also authorized the military to direct ordered movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels.[6] Of course what they always leave out is that it was developed under Reagan, and was mainly concerned with detaining leftists and anti-war protesters.

InediblePenguin posted:what i heard is she has bipolar disorder and stopped taking her meds You're going to read a lot of theories about her in the next coming days. There are lots of things that can cause psychosis. Drugs, schizophrenia, bipolar DO, more drugs. She's at the right age for a psychological break, but she also does a poo poo ton of drugs. At the end of the day, the only person who can diagnose her is a medical professional who has met actually her. I think the 72hr hold was a smart move on the part of her family and I hope she gets help. Because those tweets were not only bizarre, but frightening.

Eh, their membership has only gone up over the past three weeks. I expect that half of the new members will probably let their membership lapse, bringing them down to about the size of the Lib Dems in terms of members (as had happened with Cleggmania). The SNP are an incredibly strong party that only contests in one of the countries of the UK, but they're not in any sense the third party of British politics. UKIP have a better claim to that than the SNP.
