Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm tempted to say we should call it "Natter 13: TBD"

I have no real opinion, but the "Natter 12.5" names looked popular.

Time for that topic name, stat!

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

Okay! Let me go with the bullshit consensus ...

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

HA! I win!

Another social casualty...

I just noticed that the board time is now PDT instead of EDT. Is that because of the switch to Fangeek from That Other Provider?

My guess is that Fangeek is West Coast-based, and That Other Provider was based in NY.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, I miss having the right time, but it is a small price to pay.

Yes, now you have the left time, Laura.

Erm, in non natter content -

Yay for the Tim thread!

And, er, um... Maybe we should put up a banner explaining the time change? Or something?

Nah, people would still come in and ask.

Had the time change been discussed before? I don't remember seeing it. Apologies if I'm just waking up to old news.
