Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

So should limits be set on the appearance, for example, of such robotic sex toys?

So, they're saying that "highly-realistic sex robot = bad"?

Maybe realistic is OK as long as it's obviously a robot? Like if they make them bright green?

Hmm, I read this as wondering if robot sex toys should be allowed look like kids or animals or famous people. But my mind is a scary place sometimes too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

If there's one thing this society is fantastically successful at limiting, it's fetishistic expression.

What is even happening?

I think we were just talking about robots having sex with other robots. Or maybe I just forgot about the robot/human sex part of the discussion....

I think you're right. It was a link about robot on robot, and when people asked what the point was, I said it was probably to train robots to have sex with humans.

Then I missed Oz, who would totally get it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was hearkening back to the earlier discussion.

I have a feeling that robot sex may be the new Magic Bullet.

well, now, that depends on how you define robot.

# A mechanical device that sometimes resembles a human and is capable of performing a variety of often complex human tasks on command or by being programmed in advance.

# A machine or device that operates automatically or by remote control.

hmmmmm

Oh dear, that just caused a wild train of thought (that I wish had derailed prior to departure).

You see those robot chickens back there, Jack? There were some good looking robot chickens.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't officially start for 2 more minutes, and I am already done with all of my work.

It's gonna be a loooong day.
