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

I don't need the last word--I just need the most heavily weighted one.

Me too. I so often lose, though.

I need to get up and go to the grocery store. I need to do laundry. These things must be done before I can practice my guitar.

Oh god why can't I get up and do these things?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

These things must be done before I can practice my guitar.

Did you see the 100 Riffs Brief History of Rock and Roll? So fun.

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

I make no claim to winning in terms of proving my point or convincing the other party, but as far as "Okay, fine, can we just stop?" that happens more than zero times.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh god why can't I get up and do these things?

I am having that day, too. With an extra-large helping of crankypants.

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

There's a difference between Argument From Authority and citing the opinions of experts, though. If its an argument about astrophysics, "Because Neil DeGrasse Tyson says so" is a perfectly cromulent argument.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

No, I'm pretty sure "Because Neil DeGrasse Tyson says so" wins most arguments. You underestimate the awesome power of Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Will it work when Emeline won't do something I ask her to do?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

If you've done the foundational educating, then, yes, I think so.

"But I don't want to clean my room!"
"Rooms should be kept clean."
"Why?"
"Neil DrGrasse Tyson says so."

Yeah, I think so.

Jesse, that's a weird good thing, the jacket.
