Does anybody mind if I pass out?

supposed to be good, but I'm in the middle of kiddie lit still, 50% of which is boring X2.

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

I'm reading In Cold Blood right now and it is just about to get gruesome.

Also, another community where I'm relatively active is closing in 10 weeks. There might be an exodus, and there might not. It's been around for a while ~10 years or so. The conference where I am the most has been around for ~7. I just archived the topics we had, by hand because there's nothing else to do it.
God, we're talky meat.

I never have read it msbelle. I'm shocked at myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, argument for argument's sake -- what's not to love?
Bwahahaha.

Maximum salary is $30,000.
Only until someone proves different ...
$30,000 was picked because that's the point after which the benefit most people get from an extra dollar isn't as great as the benefit other people with less money would get from it.
To take an exaggerated example: Imagine you and Bill Gates are walking down the street, and at the same time you both notice on the ground a lottery ticket that gives $100,000 to its possessor. Who would get more use out of it: you or Gates? Surely most of us would agree that almost anyone on this board would get more use out of it than Gates. Similarly, if you make $30,000 a year, $1,000 for you is very nice, but for someone who makes $400 a year, it more than doubles her standard of living.

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

I live in LA. It's more than very nice.
