What is even happening?

I mean, I'm not as interested in what they meant as I am about what they said, and what everyone assumes that means.
Right. We know what the fanon is, but want to confirm canon. I don't remember it being made explicit. Sadly, I didn't save all the episodes, so I'm at a loss to find the couple of episodes where, I think it is possible they might have made it explicit.

t tangent I don't have all the episodes saved, because the TiVo was filling up, and Christopher is a TiVoing fool. He's so good at teaching us about the features, that we tend to let him be a TiVoing fool, because he doesn't watch a fifth of what he records. He just likes to program it.

He turned on the "action/adventure" filter on our TiVo guide, the other day, which removed some of the channels from the guide entirely (like PBS), and greyed out a good chunk of the others. It took Benjamin and I about 15 minutes to figure out what Chris had done and how to undo it, and I had passed right by the how-to-undo-it bit. Good thing Ben was there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

See upthread about caring less about what they mean, and more about what people read into no actual information

I disagree that there's no actual information. It may be circumstantial and open to interpretation, but I don't think it's absent. Do you think there's a viable alternative interpretation?

Yes, but if the public outrage was misdirected, why not say so? Why validate it with an apology?

Because silly, FOX wants to make it perfectly clear that their advertisers dollars are just as green, no matter the race, ethnicity, religion, or non-race, non-ethnicity of their characters or non-characters and the audience who is, or is not offended or not not offended.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think we need an mp3 of Hec simulating multiple orgasms.

Speak for yourself.

It may be circumstantial and open to interpretation, but I don't think it's absent.

But what is it? I'm not saying it's not there -- I'm saying I haven't seen it, and asking for it.

Do you think there's a viable alternative interpretation?

Religion is a great motivator for terrorism. It's hardly the only one. How is the onus on the person looking for substantiation? I don't have a position. I'm wondering why other people are so esconced in theirs.

I can't even.

Heaven help me, I followed that. Must be all the time I spent at Masquerade's site (ATPoBTVS)

I have an interpretation question about the class calculator -- the wealth is household -- what about the income? It says "yearly income of every individual" -- that means sum, right?

Cool. I need to get married doubly now -- for paper EOY1, and to become higher class.

I'd interpret "income of every" to mean "income of each" rather than "income of all", though I think household income makes more sense.
