Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I may be panicking. I don't have another job lined up! I'm leaping into the ABYSS.

I need bacon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't have another job lined up! I'm leaping into the ABYSS.

Don't panic. You are fine. You are qualified, competent, and a much better employee than I am. You are moving to a metropolitan area, where there will be job opportunities for you. As well as pancakes and bacon.

I'm leaping into the ABYSS.

I think that you are leaping out of the Abyss.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm leaping into the ABYSS.

Crawling out of the abyss. Yay!

or leaping out of course...

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

Anyone subscribe to The Chronicle of Higher Education?

If so, can you send me the following article? [link]

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

Chicago loves carrots. Not as much as some coastal cities, but still.

Someone asked me to set up a meeting for them. Now they've declined the invite and said they'll forward me materials.

Hello! Not my meeting! Not my specialty, nor my purview.

Right. No panicking. I'm not totally incompetent. I have a large amount of money saved.

Still need the bacon.

Huh. Do your utility closets have room numbers?

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

Everyone in the world bases moral judgments on beliefs about the supernatural (because beliefs about the supernatural include those who believe nature is the only reality--that is, that there is no supernatural)

There are two ridiculous generalizations in this statement. One, that all atheists base their moral judgments on their belief that there is no God. Two, that all theists base their moral judgments on their belief that there is.
