Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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

Did Chief Justice Roberts vote the way he did because of bath salts?

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

Huh. The default stylesheet works when you're not logged in, doesn't it? I tested it on my browsers on this machine, and it quotes whether I'm logged in with my mods, or logged out with vanilla.

If you view source of your page, the quotes are embedded in t blockquote right? And if you look at the default stylesheet here: [link] it has blockquote defined in it thusly:

cite, dfn, blockquote, .quote {
  margin: 2px 4em 2px 4em;
  font-style: normal;
  display: block;
}
cite, blockquote {
  font-family: monospace;
}

What am I missing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's like this (with carats, obv):

[div class='postcontent'][p][blockquote] It's mostly the shitty timing and the shitty way they went about it.
[/blockquote] [/p]

And it looks the same logged out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Flea, I'm sorry I was offline when you needed mayo help! In the future, Two-Minute Mayo is what you want. And "I don't have a stick blender" is not an excuse, because stick blenders are incredibly useful and everyone should have them.

I'm not seeing quotes as quoted anymore either. Maybe I need to add the default css to my custom sheet?

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

It's indented on three browsers on each of two machines for me whether I'm logged out or in. That makes no sense.

I'll switch it back, but I have no clear idea how in hell to troubleshoot what I can't see.

Scariest thing I've read today:

Chinese corruption and looting on a vast scale: industry, government, and military - Boing Boing

...The current political leadership of China represents the greatest looting of a country by the political class ever seen in history. In the Hurun Report released in March 2012—the richest 70 members of the government have a net worth of $89.8 billion, an average of over $1B each. This compares to $7.5 billion for the 660 for the US government, an average of $11M each. China’s Billionaire People’s Congress Makes Capitol Hill Look Like Paupers.

...

China’s wealth distribution is becoming completely one sided The success of 300m Chinese who live in western level prosperity depends on the continued exploitation and good nature of one billion people who live on an average of $5000 per annum.

The way Chinese financial markets work is perhaps even worse. Basically, things are unsustainable--they're producing way more industrial output than they need for perverse financial reasons.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And "I don't have a stick blender" is not an excuse, because stick blenders are incredibly useful and everyone should have them.

I used to have a stick blender, but I got rid of it because it was a pain to clean, and the blades weren't sharp enough to blend anything I wanted to blend.
