Like Sartre, only longer
I like it (Duh.)
I liked it too.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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
The "subhuman" comment is, I think, borderline, and I'd like youto apologize for it.
But I'm not going to do that.

I'm still loving this. And yes, Like Minear, only bloodier for B3.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
And may it be years before it is needed.
Amen!

So don't, Allyson. I'm not your mommy -- I'm not going to follow you around and make you say the magic words. My investment in this really isn't that great.

It's the only logical choice.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Allyson, I find that your continued insulting of Zoe and continued bragging about enacting vigilantism is divisive and unpleasant. Please stop.

I dont understand this "bragging" bullshit. I'm being honest about what happened, don't feel wrong, and refuse to fucking cower in a corner about it. I'm also sickened by our need to be polite to Zoe, who doesnt give a shit about any of us.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Allsyon, my apologies for talking about you instead of to you, just my take on this. FWIW, I think it was an awful thing to say, though I did think, when I first read it, before she explained, that she meant it kindly (color me naive). Nevertheless, when Allyson was called on it, she apologized -- I don't think it matters what her motives were, she followed the rules. If it hadn't been brought up here and now, I don't think she would have mentioned it again. Since it was brought up as a warnable offense, she explained herself again. She explained her feelings and why she did it. I don't really see that as bragging. Maybe this is still naive. I don't think so. I see it more as being willing to own up to her actions and I think, whatever we think of her actions or her beliefs regarding those actions, the fact that she's willing to tell us the feelings behind them because she was asked as well as apologize, not only then but also again if it caused the community harm, is laudable. I think when everyone else drops it, it'll drop.
