That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

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
Well, I'm going to have to trap him and get him neutered and vaccinated. But I am worried that he needs a bit of cool shelter and would feel safer with him hunkered in the carport on rainy days or when it's cold. I can at least give the kitty a blanket.

Because books.
Allyson, keep moving some food closer to the carport, and make a little nest in there. He'll be smart enough to take advantage on a rainy or super hot day when you're not there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My inbox is huge and accessed primarily via search, but I feel I make up for that by throwing away (recycling) most every piece of paper that comes across my desk.

Before Google, people would call up libraries and ask things like, "What's the phone number and address of the Catholic Church in Rochester, MN?" and the librarians would find out for them. Nobody ever does that anymore.

I don't know why I'm being an idiot. He's obviously savvy enough to survive on his own. DO NOT GET ATTACHED TO THE WILD KITTY, ALLYSON.

Right. And Newspapers were a resource too. I remember writing something about the movie Coming Home for my school news magazine, and I didn't know the name of the director. My teacher-adviser told me to just call the Miami Herald arts section editor and get the info. Which I did. And he told me, "Hal Ashby" as if he answered calls like that all the time.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am so tired that if you injected caffeine directly into my brain, it wouldn't help.
(And now I'm waiting for a sciencey type to come along and explain why it wouldn't help, anyway, to which I say IT WAS EXAGGERATION FOR EFFECT TO DEMONSTRATE HOW TIRED I AM.)
