Sounds good - thank you.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

What is even happening?
New name suggestion:
Bureaucracy 3: None of Us is as Dumb as All of Us
This idea was stolen from a BHP link in Minearverse: link)
Introducing it, BHP said:
Because it's amazing how you can put ten smart, informed, witty people into a room and produce an entity that is COMPLETELY INCAPABLE OF REACHING A CONCLUSION.
And...well...I just thought of Bureaucracy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
(Oh deer lowered, how much do I love the Demotivators catalog? Lots! End natter. Sorry)
I like that title for B'cy. Better than any suggested so far that don't hew to the "Like...only" format.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Polling again? If we stopped picking names right now, we mightn't need a new thread for quite a while.

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
Okay, my head is going to explode in Minearverse, too. But I recommend ignore. I like the light and tasty crunchiness of the thread, and it's getting dark and gloomy.
I just smell war on the horizon. Or I'm just being edgy? Because sometimes that's the case. Most times.

Edgy, but keep your eyes open.

I'd rather close them and run.
