Given that I know we have an ex-porn-marketer cannibal on staff

...how did you even get into the conversation where someone admits that?

either a cannibal or someone who didn't bother to google the term "long pig" until it was too late

He says he knew what he was doing--I don't have enough reason to judge, since I can't work out why anyone would spin accidentally eating human. However, a lot he does boggles me, so I'm not sure why I'm trying to force my template on him here.

My vanity google is nice and tidy. And misleading. LinkedIn and IMDB are the only actual mes that you get.

Wow, I suddenly look super legit on google, thanks in part to this start-up nonprofit I'm on the board of which turns out to have a fancy-looking website up, with bios! (NB: The board has had one meeting. The organization just got its 501c3 within the last month.)

Oh, except the comment I left on some random website in the 90s when websites had guest books is still there. I guess it could be worse?

So, should the military and the State Department be allowed to produce propaganda to be used on US citizens?

For a long time, this has been against the law.

Proposed US law makes domestic propaganda legal

The new law would give sweeping powers to the State Department and Pentagon to push television, radio, newspaper, and social media onto the U.S. public. “It removes the protection for Americans,” says a Pentagon official who is concerned about the law. “It removes oversight from the people who want to put out this information. There are no checks and balances. No one knows if the information is accurate, partially accurate, or entirely false.”

According to this official, “senior public affairs” officers within the Department of Defense want to “get rid” of Smith-Mundt and other restrictions because it prevents information activities designed to prop up unpopular policies—like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

how did you even get into the conversation where someone admits that?

It wasn't even my conversation. I used to sit next to him, and he does support, and apart from asking everyone to submit him for an award, he does A LOT of offtopic chatter.

The worst I've been subjected to by him directly was the "feeding live goats to your snake" conversation. But since the "worst snake owner conversation" title is held by the friend who shared with me that he used to have his boa constrictor in bed with him during sex, no harm no foul, not tripping the meter.

People do not *have* these conversations in front of me. Why do they have them in front of ita !? Does it have something to do with the links?

boa constrictor in bed with him during sex

NO NO NO

I look boring on Google. The maddening thing is that my twitter account is the top result even though my last name is nowhere on the account.

boa constrictor in bed with him during sex

That could put a real twist on auto-erotic asphyxsiation.

Hmm would I put up with a boa constrictor in bed if it meant sex with someone really really hot? Probably, as long as it did not turn into a ménagerie à trois.
