In the US Air Force the eyeglasses issued are thick, black-horned-rimmed eyeglasses that are so ugly, they make the person wearing them equally unappealing to the opposite sex, so there is virtually no danger of them impregnating or getting impregnated.

The intentional subliminal, subconscious, and operant conditioning of individuals through the usage of the education system and entertainment mechanisms to manipulate the collective behavioral patterns of society.
An entire generation exposed to simulated violence for years routinely exercises violence with no remorse as if they live in a brainwashed cultural mind-controlled state.

On social networking sites, oftentimes individuals – especially college-aged Americans – post a certain type of profile picture that makes them completely unappealing to the opposite sex, so there is virtually no danger of impregnating another or becoming impregnated. Usually such photos involve individuals making strange faces, posturing themselves oddly, or exhibiting behaviors that compromise their individual dignity. Unlike compromising photos which are posted by third-parties who may have taken the photo and “tagged” the individual in an awkward situation or pose, the Birth Control Photo (BCP) is a photo that is self-posted by the individual in the picture.
“My brother is always posting Birth Control Photos of himself on facebook in tight jeans making strange faces. He’s never going to get laid.”

Security devices and configurations which inhibit or minimize employee productivity. Employee productivity may be impacted by limiting access to information, communication and computing functionality, as well as by limiting computing performance. Controls may block websites, may block communication channels such as IRC, may slow computing devices by using full-disk encryption, antivirus, and spyware, may break applications by performing man-in-the-middle attacks and by misconfiguring applications. For some employees, substantial effort may be expended to find workarounds to bypass controls.
Brenda: Why won’t IE open this site?
Tim: The productivity throttling controls are misconfigured to arbitrarily disable TLS connections in IE. Go into Tools and enable TLS connections.
The productivity throttling controls won’t allow Firefox to get a critical update that addresses a vulnerability. Now I need to download the update and manually install. What a waste of time.
My workstation is churning away because of having to scan the large email attachment that I received. Because of the productivity throttling controls, I am unable to even switch tabs in my web browser.
