Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Do you know which Elavil does?

Just from a cursory glance through the literature, it looks like Elavil t edit *can* increase your craving for sweets AND slow your metabolism (though it doesn't do so in every patient). t /edit I also read something about "alterations in the regulation of fat stores," which I didn't find a full explanation for, though it sounds like it makes your body hang onto fat instead of burning it as efficiently as it should.

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

Does anyone have a Chicago Style Manual they're willing to part with?

Or at least, how does one cite internet sources in Chicago?

I'm telling you, they'll wish they had trampolines set up all around the base of shrift's building the day she hands in her notice.

I'm no fan of melodrama in my day-to-day life, but some rending of garments would be satisfying.

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

Thanks, Teppy. I'm really curious to know what an increased craving for sweets will feel like, assuming by sweets they mean dessert-like stuff. If it means candy I will gross myself out.

I mean, should I get that side effect in the lottery.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Allyson, I've got a 14th edition you can have. (The current edition is 15).

[edit: the 14th edition is old enough that they don't talk about the Internet in it much, though]

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

"alterations in the regulation of fat stores,"

"Fat stores must close no later than 9:00 PM and provide adequate handicapped parking."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't see it in this FAQ, Allyson, but maybe there's something here: [link]

Thanks, Jesse!

I think I better buy one. Thank you Tom. Most of my concern is net cites.

What's Buffistas' policy? Our posts belong to us, individually, right?

Oh, I can't even begin to comment on this.
