Not only is it fair -- I know I'd be fairly annoyed just to have another person right there at my elbow while I'm trying to do something.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

yes, that's caused quite a stir around here, as you can imagine. I thought of linking it a couple days ago (story broke on Thursday) but decided not to...
Crazy! But I can see how it could have happened, given the institutional culture and historical context.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder what it's like living with a lie like that for so long.
Must be a strange feeling.
Unrelatedly, I have an assload of comics it's not worth me storing any more. I could just dump them, but it feels weird. They're not special, worth anything, or particularly complete storylines.
What does one do?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that MIT story was bananas.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What does one do?
Do you have any kids in your neighborhood?
When I moved from LA to SF I decided not to move a bunch of comics.
I rounded up some kids on the street and brought down three boxes and they were thrilled.

I assume so. Don't know where any live, though.

I was in Echo Park so it was easy to go down in the street and boom- there they were. It's not like I had to go door to door.
I expect if you dropped it off at Salvation Army some kid would be happy to get a stack of comics for 25 cents.

Thrive to spite them
Maybe the library could help you find a place -- an afterschool center or something like that.

I will look into both those options--thanks!
