My stay at home mom did all the cooking and laundry and I was totally clueless about that stuff when I left home. Also clueless about things like bills and writing checks. This is why my boys have been cooking and doing laundry forever and got checking accounts in high school. Their rooms however remain atrocious.

Wow, go high molecular weight hyalurona! Figuring out cancer. There aren't even the words to express how cool that will be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love the world. Tumblr just dumped me on a cached page about dating (the guy is kickstarting his methodology) which contains the following:
The concept of "waiting for signs" or "Indicators of Interest" was commonplace in older pickup theory. It is 100% garbage and needs to be erased from the face of the planet.
Never, ever, ever, wait for a SIGN before you escalate! You will miss out on the vast majority of chances if you sit around waiting for SIGNS. Men are notoriously bad at reading women's minds and body language. Don't think that you're any different. From now on you must ASSUME that she is attracted to you and wants to be ravished. It's a difference in mindset that makes champs champs and chumps chumps.
As stated back in the section on Flirting in Part 5, leading with your body is a very effective form of flirting. It is YOUR JOB, as the man, to lead the interaction. Be playful. Spin her around. Pick her up. Push her away as a tease and then pull her back in.
Decide that you're going to sit in a position where you can rub her leg and back. Physically pick her up and sit her on your lap. Don't ask for permission. Be dominant. Force her to rebuff your advances
What I love is that he goes on to say:
If at any point a girl wants you to stop, she will let you know. If she says "STOP," or "GET AWAY FROM ME," or shoves you away, you know she is not interested. It happens. Stop escalating immediately and say this line:
"No problem. I don't want you to do anything you aren't comfortable with."
Maybe you could get confused and think that he hadn't already sexually assaulted you, but never fear!
If a woman isn't comfortable, take a break and try again later.
Until you really really mean it, and then he'll stop.
Better late than never, right?
You probably shouldn't read the whole [link] I should have stopped at some triggerfull "kiss with your erection" bullshit.
Be clear--triggerFULL.
He got all the money he needed, plus stretch: [link]

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
OMG, there was a Criminal Minds episode about this, but with added homicide.
Not cool. Not good for real life to imitate TV in this case.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is there a Kickstarter to kick that guy in the nuts?

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

Huh, I'd never seen "rapist" spelled "champ" before. Is that a regional variation?
