She's an utter idiot whatever the color of her skin. Why make it about race when there's a much more obvious issue. I've seen multiple reports about gorilla girl recently, no surprise she's here now.

Wow...

So, I saw this tiktok on reddit and I thought, 'oh, that was dumb. Lady needs to get some acetone on that, STAT, or her scalp is gonna be fucked.

Gorilla glue is a polyurethane, not crazy glue. Acetone doesn't do much.

Irregardless how many feel about McDonalds or Gorilla glue, America has traded a large amount of manufacturing middle class jobs for the ability of legal leaches and ambulance chasers to win lotteries. Some of those lotteries may have been justified for the individual involved. But all of them collectively have been directly responsible for a general decline in productivity. A general decline of middle class wages and a huge loss of industry in this country. You do not get one thing without sacrificing the other.

We have seen a decline in the American production of things, not an overall decline in American production. It's just more and more of what's produced is services--stuff that takes highly skilled people, mostly in the STEM fields, rather than people working with their hands.

General aviation in the US went through a rough patch in the 1980s and 1990s, with manufacturers like Cessna and Piper being at the receiving end of enormous, and in many cases, unreasonable jury awards. Do a search for tort reform and general aviation and you should see articles on the subject.

Only if the articles explain how the lawsuits terminated the companies, as claimed above.
They both survived, and continue to make small aircraft to this day.

...answers that.
 
Hey psst. Nobody tell derec, but some black dude thought Gorilla Glue Girl was a hoax so he glued a cup to his mouth to prove he can just lick it off his lips. Yeah... yeah, I didn't make that up. Amazing right?
 
Now that most of you have made fun because a woman did a stupid thing, I'm happy to announce that a plastic surgeon helped her out and now she is free of the glue.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/12/style/tessica-brown-gorilla-glue.html?surface=most-popular&fellback=false&req_id=465837215&algo=bandit-all-surfaces-decay-decay-02&variant=2_bandit-all-surfaces-decay-decay-02&imp_id=50912551&action=click&module=Most%20Popular&pgtype=Homepage


No one could figure out how to help Tessica Brown until a Los Angeles plastic surgeon stepped in. If she could go back, she said, she would just have worn a hat.

But they had made little progress when she heard from Dr. Michael Obeng, a plastic surgeon from Los Angeles, who offered to remove the glue from her head free of charge. He performed the procedure on Wednesday while she was under light anesthesia. Afterward, she was able to comb through her hair with her fingers.

“Dr. Obeng got every bit of it out,” she said, adding that he’ll give her a few more scalp treatments to prevent her hair from falling out, she said.

Dr. Obeng declined to speak through his publicist on Thursday, citing an exclusive interview that he had promised to an undisclosed outlet.

In an interview with TMZ on Wednesday after the surgery, Dr. Obeng said he created a solvent to dissolve polyurethane, the main active ingredient in Gorilla Glue, made of medical grade adhesive remover, aloe vera, olive oil and a little bit of acetone. He tested the concoction on a skull outfitted with real hair and extensions that he matted down with Gorilla Spray Adhesive.

“I have a chemistry background, so I knew that any compound can be broken down,” Dr. Obeng said in the video. He said that the surgery “went well,” and that Ms. Brown was lucky not have been severely injured on her scalp, other than some irritation from chemical treatments she had used.

It's nice to know that not everyone denigrates a woman who did something stupid, due to her own ignorance in regards to a glue product. I hope y'all will find something better to do now that the glue has been removed from the woman's hair, thanks to the compassion of a physician who knew what to do to help her.

And, btw, what the fuck did this have to do with politics? A woman is in a hurry. She does a dumb thing and then suffers the consequences of it. If she hadn't gone public, the nice doctor who helped her would never have known about her problem. I just hope that people will leave her alone now and she can go back to her previous life. Every human makes mistakes at some point in their lives. Every fucking one of us.

I did so, just this morning.
I thought I was wrong about something, I wasn't.

Who hasn't seen lists of bizarre product liability disclaimers that are meant to ward off lawsuits? My favorite is printed in red on the accordion-style windshield shade that you can prop up on your dashboard when your car is going to be parked in sunlight: WARNING: DO NOT DRIVE WITH AUTO-SHADE IN PLACE. REMOVE FROM WINDSHIELD BEFORE STARTING IGNITION.
Up to this point, I've been good about taking the auto-shade down. But, should I ever decide to drive with it up, just to keep all the sun out of my eyes, and then I hit a school bus, somebody is paying, and it won't be me.

While Rvonse exaggerated, there is a kernel of truth in his claim as I pointed out.

But that's the point. HIS story is tort reform fanfiction, reimagining what really happened.
Yes, lawsuits can bring outrageous awards.

This is a discrete line item from his claims that litigation and fear of litigation have destroyed entire industries.
Also, that safety briefs are an albatross.

My (our?) experience with safety briefs? Every fucking time we got a four day weekend, the safety brief would be about the shit some dumbass did last month to chew up the CO's long weekend sorting out said dumb shit.

Someone got stuck in a St. Louis jail because they got stupid drunk and went for a joyride? Enjoy your safety brief about not driving drunk come the next 4-day. Someone is getting sued for child support payments after knocking someone up? Enjoy getting a safety brief next time about safe sex. Someone got drowned on Lake of the Ozarks while walking across the boat cluster drunk? Enjoy getting briefed about that. Someone gets nabbed for hiring prostitutes at the local rub-and-tug? Get briefed about not going to the rub-and-tug.

The fact is, safety briefs exist because too often there is a number of people who flaunt good sense and NEED reminders to not be fucking stupid.

We go too far. Some years back I was walking through our factory floor and I saw one machine that I figured needed a new warning sign: "Warning: Too many warnings." (The side I was facing was practically covered in detailed warnings. I'm sure nobody read them all.)

I can honestly say there were at least ten occasions i stopped doing something because my spidey-safety-brief-sense went off.

I didn't detect danger. Rather i figured we were one khaki-clad observer or a log entry away from being tasked with giving the next safety brief. Or being written up in the Navy Safety Center's Factual Lines About Safety Hazards. "Recently, a sailor in this force thought he was smarter than the safety warning tagged to his operational device....(skip to the end)..." with a pithy ending about what goes thru the mind of someone trying to decapitate himself with a helo carrier or wanting to hurt the entire ten seconds it took to die.

And far more than ten times, i stoppped others by asking if they wa nted to be guest of honor at a safety stand-down.
 
Meanwhile anti-maskers are killing people but this Gorilla Glue girl is apparently a danger to society.
