Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Me too

Also,

OKRA
EMMENTHALER

Interesting choices.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You know that EMMENTHALER is just SWISS CHEESE, right?

Yep-- but high class swiss cheese.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was literally just having a stupid conversation yesterday that went "What do they call Swiss Cheese in Switzerland?" "Cheese!" "But they probably don't have what we call Swiss Cheese, they probably just have like Emmenthaler and shit."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I have a picture of my brother in gold lame boxers, bunny ears and nothing else, with a basket of plaster easter eggs , hopping around the back yard.

Ah, I see he's opted for the "Can I get these in wallet size?" method of defusing blackmail attempts.

Good luck on having a more relaxed second date that continues in similarly good overall vein, Tom.

Too Quiet

Tell me a thing that made you happy recently.

for me: Tom's date, and the ASSCAPS responses.

Men get arrested all the time trying to pick up prostitutes (who are actually cops); giving a woman in hootchie shorts and a halter top a ride in your car isn't illegal either.

See the difference is, it's not illegal for a man to have sex with a man. It's just illegal to have sex in the public bathroom. It's also not illegal for a man to proposition another man for sex, even in the public bathroom. It is, however, illegal to have sex with or proposition a prostitute, regardless of where the intended sex is to take place.

Had Craig offered money for sex, exposed himself for the purpose of sex (and not at the urinal for instance), or fondled or attempted to fondle the officer I think that would be different.
