So I just looked at my calendar and asked my boss, and now I'm taking off next Thurs/Fri, for a five-day weekend. YAY, and phew.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

The news is showing the locations of all the Colorado fires - we have 9 major fires burning. Temps in the 100 degrees sure don't help. Never mind the winds.
Got a message from CJ's ARP Chief about how the team can help with the fires. Right now, the fires are all too dangerous for the team, based on the training the team has had. Normally, they just assist with structure fires, not wildfires. But he is working with the involved agencies to see if there is anything the team can do.
I know Stephanie is on the edge of the Waldo Canyon fire. According to the map, we live in the middle of 5 or 6 of the fires. Crazy. Scary.

Here's a new TV Tropes article with an allegation that, if true, is both horrifying and darkly hilarious (to me): [link]
The article claims that known pedophiles were banned but then Fast Eddie allegedly told them they could rejoin under new usernames.
No word on if their first incarnations had to commit pseudicide.

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

Huh.

TV tropes has, as an anonymous tipper to The Mary Sue noted, “essentially self-selected to become the kind of community that is probably going to be shut down by the FBI.”
Huh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so confused by that article. I am not sure what they want to happen and what they're criticising. The rape thing was easier, but they quote someone who wants the google ad algorithm to be able to tell the difference between sex and rape? Google knows enough to look for cats, but how much are we attributing to it now? People can't agree--what bright (or fuzzy) line is the software to be programmed to observe?
Also--is the issue banning pedophiles, or banning pedophilic content? If you're talking about participating in any illegal stuff, then I think that's a way bad thing. But if you're a closet criminal, how much responsibility does a site have to make sure you can't post?
I don't want to make it sound like I'm defending Gus, because everything he does is clearly wrong, but I am confused as to what the precise issue is, and also--is "fetish" a trigger now? Like, the word? How does that work?
