Three Darwin Awards in one day?

"A woman who died during an operation for a buttock enlargement in Turkey was not given enough information to make a safe decision about the procedure, a coroner has concluded.

Melissa Kerr, 31, from Gorleston, Norfolk, died at the private Medicana Haznedar Hospital in Istanbul, in 2019.

Coroner Jaqueline Lake said she would be writing a report for the health secretary to try and prevent further deaths from this "risky" procedure.

The hospital has been asked to comment.

Ms Kerr had gone abroad to have what is commonly referred to as a Brazilian butt-lift or BBL, the Norwich inquest heard."

"The Norwich inquest was told Ms Kerr, a psychological well-being practitioner at mental health charity Mind, was "self-conscious" about her appearance."

Not a great endorsement, is it?

Died of stupidity

She should have sorted her eyebrows first.

theories come, theories are changed, theories go. why is the thing so terrified by the evolution article i posted?

[voice]

Debunking bullshit not alternative theories. After all 'God did it' has been soundly disproved for over 150 years, the missing day trope is, I think, about 70 or 80 years old, casting it in a new guise does not make it any more credible than when it was first posited. As I showed, even non extremist theists accept its bullshit.

[voice]

Oh and I should add, a search for where that, possibly satire, study shows its never been published in any scientific journal I can find and in fact the prof who supposedly wrote it also appears not to exist and even if he does there's no association of such a prof with Harvard.

Theist's come up with a 'gottcha' moment to disprove evolution almost weekly it has to be said, one I saw the other day was evelution totally disproved cos a fossil of a dragonfly looks pretty much the same as the ones alive today (I think we're supposed to ignore that the same people also think the earth is 6000 years of and fossils, according to them are, either planted by Satan, or created during the flood)

[rick49]

is the thing aware that a Christian formulated the bb theory it's so desperate to defend? is the thing aware that issac newton, michael faraday, james clerk maxwell, robert boyle, francis bacon, nicholas of cusa, john napier, antoine lavoisier were strong believers in God? i seem to recall that they were somewhat competent scientists.

[voice]

Belief in God does not mean they were idiots who dismissed observable evidence, nor did they make sh*t up when science was pushing God in the gaps. Lots of moderate Christians have accepted the earth is 4.5 billion years old, not 6000, they also accept evolution as the best explanation of life and the variety seen, they might tinker round the edges saying God set things off like a clockwork device, but they accept the evidentiary basis of evolution.

The idiots who posit the missing day trope or fantasize that some AI program has disproved evolution, even going as far as mocking up some fake paper with a fake professor cos they know other idiots will never check, or that fossilized creatures look similar to one's alive today prove evolution never happened, are just that idiots.

[voice]

Also, nothing you wrote backs up anything from the risibly bad stories you posted or even attempts to show the veracity of the claims you're promoting or why I, and moderate theists, think its BS.

[rick49]

cardiff philharmonic orchestra's canceling of Tchaikovsky's music because russia invaded ukraine. pointless posturing.

[voice]

Wow a rare stopped clock moment, yes these things are always stupid, from freedom fries to pulling Russian stuff of the menu, meaningles virtue signaling at it worst.

[rick49]

freedom fries. lol

Unqualified drivers, drink driving and not wearing seat belts.

Sorry they're dead and all that, but FFS.

[marechal]

"Dafydd never ever wore a seatbelt," even when speeding the wrong way down a road with a driver off his tits on drugs.

Likely something would have happened to this kid sooner or later.

[flatandy]

Literally the only person I feel sorry for in this is the poor f**k*r who was in the other car that they collided with. The mother should just be grateful that that driver and nobody else was killed in the accident her son was complicit in. f**k**g unsympathetic morons, the lot of them.

[voice]

Yeah, the kids were just fcuking idiots and could have killed others by their stupidity. Not sure why the mum is hating on his mate, they were all in it together her son was as culpable

[Repat Van]

I feel a little sorry for the son unless he knew his mate had been doing drugs.

[Repat Van]

Scratch that - he knew his friend was drunk. Yeah the mom’s comments are stupid. Yes people are young and can make stupid decisions and for that I feel a little bit sorry for him. But the mom is daft. Her sons was culpable too.

[perrykneeham]

More money than sense.

Lewes. Sounds about right.

Sounds like a Monty Python sketch.
