The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Speaking of that, let's go whole hog. Until a female bears a child her socio-economic function is male no matter how orthodox her sexual preference. But a woman who is mother to a child knows she has a stake in the future. So let's limit the franchise and eligibility for office and the practice of law to mothers.

Allyson's head may not explode, but that popping sound?

My head. All over the ceiling.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

And my work here is done.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Make it stop.

Yeah, but only by proxy on his new show. And he'll make the viewers love us first.

Hey. New board.

Eh. To be fair, before he said that non-mothers didn't deserve the vote, he said men didn't deserve it. Yet I don't find myself at all offended. I believe he was being farcical.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

While I'm sure Tim adores Allyson, I think it's more likely he'd throw some Ayn Rand Objectivism into the mix and sit back and laugh while we entertain him with our 'splodey heads.

Plus, I think killing people is a sign of love in the Minearverse.

(Stipulated: there are individuals, both sexes, who prefer to live alone. This is racially self-correcting.)

Sorry, but why is this is causing explosions? "Self-correcting" means, if this behavior spreads in each generation, we wind up extinct. Biologically, that's a problem. But since those who prefer to be alone are a lot less likely to have children, the problem fixes itself.

It's a side note, not a moral judgment.

Strega, I need some help, will you be around at all this week at night?

What is even happening?

I still don't understand line marriage.

I'm glad you posted that, Strega. I was sitting here wondering what I was missing, and if it was due to some blind spot I have because I'm a parent.

not going to comment on an all-mother government and that I think it would be worth a shot if, for nothing else, the likely reduction in wars because I'd be mostly taking the piss
