I vote that when Daisy Jane comes to visit -- and, later, when Allyson makes it up for a weekend -- we all go to that bar and leave those women great whopping tips. They just seem like DJ and Allyson's kind of women
Cool! And awwww, thanks.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Absolutely!!! And I can't believe that the guy had a SECOND dose. How fucked up is that?
One use of a comma is as a replacement for "and" or "or," so to use a comma before the last word in a series is to say, for example, "the flag is red and white and and blue."
I agree.
Not to mention that it's inconsistent. It says "ONE use of a comma". In her example, there is more than one comma.

Yup. Although in Allyson's case, I'm pretty sure date-rapist would NOT have left the bar on his own two feet.
I love that story.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm so boggled by that that I hardly have room left to be boggled, and irrevocably skeeved, at the fact that at the time he was working for the school district (not directly working with kids, but still -- FUCKED UP).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He didn't just have a second dose--it was a whole new drug. Just monumentally wrong.
Crazy science - drugs to erase traumatic memories
But they already do that! Well, to some degree. I have a cousin who was given a memory killer before they set her arm. They needed her to feel the pain for the procedure so they could be sure they got it right. They just fixed it so she wouldn't remember it. Then her mother told her about it later and she totally freaked out worse than she would have, probably, had she retained her memory.

Besides the guy being a scumbag rapist, I wonder why someone would do that to a date that is going well? Why not try to have sex with your dates the old fashioned way? With consent?
My misanthropy continues to grow.

I was wondering about that too...but rape is less about sex than power. He didn't want to have consensual sex with her at all.

My misanthropy continues to grow.
The story had the opposite effect on me. I guess I presume there are a fair number of scumbags out there, so I was all "Yay! Look at the good in humanity and the helping and the saving and the glayvin!"

Look at you--glass half-full guy! The good news is that with the waitress and bartender, the heroes outnumber the scumbags so that's a net gain for humanity.
I should be more upbeat about it.

The idea that people might have seen a drug being slipped into someone's drink and not done something sickens me deeply and in a different way from the crime itself. I like the smoothness of what they did in the article but my lack of hatred for the whole species is a tenuous one and could slip at any moment. They bought a few more days.
