No man in his right mind would donate sperm, either anonymously or not.
No matter how water-tight the conditions might seem at the time the taddies hit the bottom of the plastic receptacle, nothing is surer than those terms and conditions will be shredded in the future in the name of someone else’s rights.
And there will be consequences for the ejaculator … financial, personal, emotional, maybe the lot.

Correct, and those who do, who would continuously donate sperm time and time again, are narcissistic sociopaths. The sperm donating is just about him, about replicating him, like something out of a creepy John Wyndham science fiction story.

I have a suggestion for the Million Muzzie March:
Mossad buys half a dozen delivery drones and hangs Israeli flags from them.
They get delivered to the march site several pallets of half bricks.
The drones fly at 50 meters above the heads of the Million Muzzie March.
The Bright Young Men from the Desert Sands start throwing half bricks at the Flags of the Hated Enemy.
The half bricks fall short, and head back to earth, only to be intercepted by one of the Million Muzzie Heads.
Someone should take a camera to watch the entertainment and fury of the interceptors.

Apparently the Coodabeens once discovered a device in an ABC dungeon called the bulk eraser, presumably for wiping old magnetic tapes of historic content for future reuse. They subsequently introduced a ‘Bulk Eraser’ segment in their show for songs that had been overplayed and should be deleted. The Eagle’s back catalogue featured prominently if I recall.

On Onanistic matters, it appears Rabz has gotten hold of the wrong end of his stick.
Under the laws of Levir, the first punishment for Onan was simply:

And the name of his house shall be called in Israel, ‘The house of him who had his sandal pulled off.’”

(I read this so now I’m a 5 minute expert from Google University)

The Onan analogy doesn’t quite work because:
1) the donor guy was having quite a bit more than just his sandal pulled off.
2) Onan was not donating sperm to a clinic, quite the opposite, he was trying to *avoid* getting his new wife pregnant.
3) He was employing coitus interruptus with an actual woman to whom he was married, not simply bopping baloney into a beaker.
4) His real sin apparently was pretending to carry out his “duty of Levir” (to marry and impregnate his dead brother’s wife) just to get his hands on deadbro’s loot but without actually making a new heir as demanded.

Not sure why Onan had to be brought into it at all really. Criticism of the megadonor for being a narcissistic freeloader does not require support from any ancient tales of fruitless bonking – whether they were smited or otherwise.

Australian tech billionaires Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar have had about a billion dollars wiped from each of their fortunes in a matter of hours, after shares in their enterprise software firm Atlassian sank by more than 10 per cent in after-hours trading.

This happens with monotonous regularity, but they somehow survive.

Investors pummeled Atlassian’s shares on Friday morning AEDT, after the workplace software provider’s net loss widened to $US31.9 million ($49.7 million), compared with a net loss of $US13.7 million a year earlier. The company, which is listed on the US-based Nasdaq, is yet to post a full-year profit.

The company has been around for twenty years, and listed on the Nasdaq for eight. That is a millennium in tech company terms.
But never made a profit.

From the Atlassian article …

“Our guidance assumes that macroeconomic headwinds continue to negatively impact growth in paid seat expansion at existing customers and free-to-paid conversion rates, and that the trends we’ve seen in these areas throughout the last year persist in financial year 2024,” the pair said in the letter.

Free-to-paid, huh?

Just off the weekly WhatsApp catchup with the UK sister and her mob.

It seems that the Million Useful Idiots for Hamas may be having an unexpected effect. Interestingly, the full-spectrum UK media seems to have picked up on the sense that bulk Brits are not best pleased by the guests and adjacent trendies running around in Jihadi, beheady, pre-explodey mode.

This presents from the populist Sun going Jingo to the unpopular Leftist Grauniad playing a straight bat.

The Establishment is operating far, far from the mood of the population. Even Team Sunak and Team Starmer have picked up on it.

https://www.ivf.com.au/treatments/donor-programme/donating-sperm

Can I be a completely anonymous donor?

No. The privacy of all donors is protected until the child is aged 18, however, once a child is born from a sperm donation we are required to provide identifying details of the donor to the NSW Health Central Register. When the child is aged 18, they will be able to access this information.

The reason for this is that in the past, many donor conceived individuals have reported extreme distress about the absence or lack of information about their biological parents. Nowadays, the exchange of this information, once the child has turned 18 years of age, is an important part of the process.

The sperm donation process – step by step

The step by step process involved in sperm donation is also outlined below:

Step 1 – An appointment will be made for you to meet with one of our Fertility Specialists, who will record your medical history, including both your physical and mental health.

Step 2 – You will have two sessions with an IVFAustralia counsellor to discuss the social, ethical and legal implications of sperm donation. During this time you will complete a profile about yourself, provide a family medical history, and will also sign consent forms for donation. If you have a current partner, they must also attend these sessions to ensure you are both comfortable and clear about the process involved

Step 3 – Our donor coordinators will contact you when counselling is completed to organise an appointment for a semen analysis and screening of your blood for infectious diseases and some genetic conditions

Step 4 – Our Genetic Counsellor will call you to discuss your family medical history, and to explain the genetic tests that have been performed

Step 5 – Once all the test results are back, we will notify you of them and plan (together with you) visits to our clinic for your donation appointments. We will need you to make between five and ten appointments to complete this

Step 6 – Your sperm is quarantined for three or six months, after which time we ask you to attend for a further blood test, for a final screen for infectious diseases. Once complete, your sperm can be cleared for use. It will then be released to our recipients for IVF treatment, to help them conceive their baby.

Step 7 – Once a baby is born from your donation, we are required to provide your identifying details to the NSW Health Central Register. The privacy of all donors is protected until the donor conceived child is 18, at which age they can access this information. The reason for this is that in the past, many donor conceived individuals have reported extreme distress about the absence or lack of information about their biological parents. Nowadays, the exchange of this information, once the child has turned 18 years of age, is considered to be an important part of the use of donated sperm

However, many donors jizzed in the jar years or decades ago on the clear written undertaking that they would be anonymous forever, unless they – and they alone – elected not to be.
That undertaking was breached.

When Ronald Reagan re-commissioned the “Missouri” class battleships, in the 1980’s the howler monkeys were outraged. Where would they find the crews? All those skills were lost and forgotten.

At the same time, the United States Navy received hundreds, if not thousands of letters from veterans – the oldest was eighty – offering their services – they might not be able to go to sea, but they could still train the young fella’s.

The protesters, no doubt far-leftists along with middle eastern men and women, were carrying placards, and a blonde woman with a big smile was pictured carrying a large placard that had a Star of David drawn on it and next to the Star of David were the words….”Keep the world clean”. Just like the Nazis eight years ago thought they were keeping the world clean by exterminating Jewish men, women and children, todays Nazis also aim to keep the world clean by exterminating Jewish men, women and children, and they’re not even trying to hide their desire.

Cassie,
It turns out that the blonde woman carrying the placard was a Norwegian medical student a Polish university. According to reports, she was ‘suspended’. That fact that she, at her age, thought that was okay to do is insane.

BBC provokes fury for running footage featuring ‘famous Hamas propaganda’ actor (4 Nov)

The 6 o clock News tonight featured footage which critics claim was created for propaganda purposes and featured Saleh al-Jafarawi, a man who has been accused of being a famous Hamas propaganda actor.

However, the BBC has insisted that the footage of the carnage was genuine and has been verified by themselves and Associated Press while admitting that Saleh al-Jafarawi was there but disputing that he is “a crisis actor”.

Nick Timothy@NJ_Timothy

Literally anybody with a Twitter account knows this guy is a Hamas actor who participates in propaganda. And it still ends up on the 6pm news.

There needs to be a serious review of the BBC coverage of events from 7 October onwards.

Mark Higgie@MarkHiggie1·Nov 4
Tonight’s BBC 6pm news began coverage of Gaza news with a @BowenBBC report featuring the latest appearance of Hamas actor Saleh al-Jafarawi in what is obviously a piece of Hamas staged footage. @BBCNews amazingly seems not to be aware of who he is or that it’s being played.

8:28 AM · Nov 4, 2023

So not only do they play Hamas propaganda to start their Gaza nightly report but they actually claim it was real, and that they had checked it first. BBC must stand for “big brass cojones”.

Critics have previously described the BBC’s coverage as “instituionally antisemitic” but the Corporation, which continues to block publication of a report into whether its coverage of Israel is biassed, has said it will not change the tenor of its reporting especially in regards to refusing to describe Hamas as terrorists.

– Refuses a review on a specific area of reporting
– Refuses to even contemplate change regardless of public objections
– Refuses to report the truth ie. a Government designated terrorist organisation as “terrorist”

I think the BEEB can safely now be called a propaganda unit. It has no place as a public broadcaster and no right to public monies to continue its existence.

Like our own ABC, we are forced to pay the salaries of people who actively hate us and who support people who would do us harm.

Both the Beeb and the abc here are full-on propagandists for the climate change scam which means both are working towards destruction of western democracies.
They are also full-on supporters of da diversity, and unchecked immigration, which many countries are now finding to be a complete crock and likely to hasten that demise. Andrea Widburg at American Thinker has a piece on Scandinavian countries which were formerly safe and more or less homogenous. They now have hugely increased sexual assault incidences following a period of allowing too much immigration of unassimilated cultures.
“ Western society built something wonderful over the centuries; that is, safe, coherent, successful communities. However, the beneficiaries of these blessings then embraced leftism, which told them that they did not deserve the benefits of the societies that they and their forebearers created. The only way to do penance, they were told, was to hand the keys to the kingdom to people who hate them and everything they stand for.”
