Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

When I was teaching, a clinician told us that the back-of-the-neck thing or a bad headache were a really strong sign one is dealing with actual delusions rather than made-up ones.

Wow, very interesting. This was my own personal, non-scientific way of assessing such behavior, so it's interesting to hear that clinicians rely on it as well.

I am sure that I have the same effect on some people

Honestly Scrappy I can't imagine you sounding patronizing, bossy, or arrogant to anyone. That could just be my Scrappy-love talking, but I don't think so.

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

And Allyson, I've been on the receiving end of Fay anger too. I'm sure I deserved it, but Yikes, huh?

We worked it out off-board, immediately.

I should just unsubscribe, but the descending spiral is strangely fascinating.

It's giving me a huge squick. There's a bizarre post about Fay using an assumed name. We're like her imaginary television people, and she's lost all sense of what is real. It is strangely fascinating, I guess, since I can't seem to look away, like it's a car wreck in slow mo.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Nobody

Can we stop talking about her now?

Fair point, well made.

Our wings are not tired.

We may need to hold an intervention Cindy. Really, let's go back to reading Rules Girls or something more entertaining.

Hell, discussing what we can vote on next sounds like more fun!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

We need to take up the question of whether or not to add Tom W's "Rules Boys" thread.

I'd second that one.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So does a "Deena confirmation" identify itself in some way? I've voted twice (before and after the glitch) and have two identical confirmations. (And it has been more than four hours).
