Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
These findings provide evidence that the ultimate goal of the visual system is not simply to construct internally an exact reproduction of the external world, Meister and his colleagues write in Nature. Rather, the system seeks to extract from the onslaught of raw visual information the few bits of data that are relevant to behavior. This entails the discarding of signals that are less useful, and dynamic retinal adaptation provides a means of stripping from the visual stream predictable and therefore less newsworthy signals.
That sounds pretty similar to the way the rest of the nervous system works-- you might be aware of the feeling of putting your pants on, but you don't have to deal with a barrage of "you're wearing your pants. You're wearing pants. You have pants on. Linen pants." all day from your legs.
eta context, because I am unaware of the passage of time

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thanks bon bon. Now I'm hyper-aware of my pants.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Now I'm going to be thinking of my pants all night.

I'm imagining Clovis whispered to those leaping sheep.

Always Anti-fascist!
Don't know. Visit the Bayistas. There are some islands I would go to, but not in Hurricane Season.

And considering it's 62 and rainy here, the desert sounds pretty good for the weekend.I love 62 and rainy. Love it. It's hard on my children though during summer vacation. They're bo-Red.

In theory, I don't hate 62 and rainy, but it makes it unpleasant to go to the beach. And it's July!! I want to go to the beach!!!!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You have pants on. Linen pants.
Not linen, sure.
Silk, on the other hand? There's a permaloop of "Whoo! Silky goodness!" going on there. Which is nice.
