I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

In this article, we also rely on studies of people who, instead of coming into the lab with preexisting depression, are exposed to an experimental sad mood induction.

OH NOT EVEN.

So, you know. I already thought they sounded like they needed a cockpunch. Now I think they need a few.

Yes. And possibly being whacked on the head repeatedly WHILE being cockpunched.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Experimental sad mood induction? I'm curious, but not respectful.

I'm at the point in B'crazy where we talk about Due South and fandom TV. This is probably going to be a more stressful reread for me than Zoe or Gus.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

are exposed to an experimental sad mood induction.

The hell?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The hell?

Cock. Punches.

I am just saying.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

From having just read the article (about them, not by them) "experimental sad mood induction" means they played "Requiem" for the test subjects on a gray rainy day. In another case, they showed the test subjects a video about cancer and death before the task was performed.

Because that's JUST LIKE depression.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm at the point in B'crazy where we talk about Due South and fandom TV.

Yeah, I'm not going near that sad mood induction.

You sure? We could study you! It would be for SCIENCE!

We need (and by we I mean the royal we) a topic index for B'cracy. Because I can't stop reading, but I really should skip this one.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

DJ, that's so sad about the fire. Y'all are very kind to try and get the servers shifts like that

Jon is in the biz, and I spent enough years in it and now around it that it really hits home. I really think it's given Jon a nervous breakdown. He called me bawling a bit ago.

I think I'm going to leave after my 3 o'clock.

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

We need (and by we I mean the royal we) a topic index for B'cracy.

I suppose you (and by you I mean the royal you - wait, that doesn't make sense) could graph the number of posts in Bureau per day - that way you could at least tell when a new controversial topic begins.
