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

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
Based on the principles he lays out, we seem to be doing very well. Good for us!
Can we have a rating system like slashdot?????

Or a submersible Zamboni.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Piercing all up my left ear? Just because I wanted to.
I think that's enough of a why, though. I just figure that people doing more extreme stuff might have more complex answers. But that's just a guess.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't think there's any reason to assume that tastes outside societal norms require more complex motivations than tastes within them.
(For me, piercings are out of the question because they tend to result in severe eczema at the site. Unfortunately.)

Yeah, pretty sure that's in the Book of Kodos. Or possibly Kang, I disremember.

What is even happening?
A digital sign of our times -- at 1:02:03 am tomorrow morning, April 5, 2006, it will be 01-02-03-04-05-06.
Narrator, isn't that cool? I'm ruling in their ruling out of 1:02:03 pm though, just because I like to sleep I can.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think there's any reason to assume that tastes outside societal norms require more complex motivations than tastes within them.
Yeah--once you've broken that barrier, there doesn't need to be a depth to it.
Although I'm sure there sometimes is. Controlled cutting impulses, for one. Aesthetics. Whatever.

Yeah, maybe not. I mean, most people's reason for doing anything is probably "because I want to." I know that the teacher at my old job who had big disks in her ears and lip (edit: and tattoos on her face. heh -- I forgot about that) had reasons beyond "it's pretty," but it's not a requirement or anything.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I can't speak for anyone else, even on if tattoos are more complex than multiple ear piercings, but the sole reasons for getting mine were "I want" and "pretty".
