I invested years of studies, money and hard work in the wrong field.
He is not premature, she is just glacial.

Rope. Lots and lots of rope.

Ah, OK.
True, men don’t need cool air, heat, food, drinkable water, sewage control or light to survive.
Back years ago, the government gave a grant to some university to study the mating habits of the African Tree Frog...
Their conclusion after a year and a half of exhaustive study:
‘They exist, therefor they do...”
Oh my gosh; I was 100% certain this was satire; but its not:

Not sure whether I laugh or cry.
I wonder if the paper included the myth of the Snow King that chased the people from their Alaskan village because they stole his princess. After they returned the princess, the Snow King retreated and the natives returned to their homeland.
(100 years ago it was just a myth. It was a glacier that came down the valley and they had to re-settle farther down for awhile.)
And I only got 500,000 to study the consistcy of ketchup!?!?!
From the article: “Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions,”
I thought surely it was Professor Irwin Corey.
“They say you are a Snow Queen - but I know that’s not true.
So why don’t we just get drunk and screw!”
You know, I used to wonder what pixie dust our partners and senior managers would use to get company leaders to sign off on multi-million dollar deals, when often they just got a gigantic motion machine that generated a bunch of paper that said “you need better I/T services”.
And they did it over and over and over again. For decades.
Once in awhile someone outside would complain that our group (or the others like them) got their company for millions of dollars.
When I told them what the deliverables likely were, they asked how I knew. I said, seen it done in all sorts of places.
But I never figured that you could get idiots at the National Science Foundation to sign off on $709,000 for sexist glaciers.
Incredible.
I propose a study to show how guns are sexist, racist, and Islamophobic.
Maybe it was my spelling
I know! I checked two or three times because I just couldn’t believe it wasn’t!
Yes $700K plus and all you have to say or produce is goobdelguck. I need that job. Much less stress than I have now.
I’ve read and reread the article. It HAS!!! to be satire. Yeah, I know they claim it’s authenticated and all that. But humans simply cannot believe such a load of malarkey. Not even hardcore libs/leftists.....can they?
A guy? Did some prankster pour liquid nitrogen in his lap?
