I was involved in a very vicious street fight. It was incredibly violent and frantic, with blood everywhere. It was more of a free for all instead of me taking on like nine dudes. I’m not a violent person at all, so it was really distressing. Some big guy lifted me up and slammed me against a wall, so I reached out and gouged his eye with my thumb. It was awful. I could feel the shape, and it was all clammy. It was so against my regular self that I burst awake. I thought it was still going on though because I could still feel it on my thumb. Turns out my hand was in my shorts, and the clammy eyeball shape was a part of my male anatomy.

you PACK miette? you stow her body like the laundry? oh! oh! jail for mother! jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!

Yeah, 100%. It’s just that usually when something like this gets a large-ish negative reaction it’s because people associate it with furries or some other “taboo” fetish/lifestyle.

I also find that furry stuff gets way more hate than it deserves (which is none hate). I say boo to that! So long as stuff is consensual and nobody gets hurt (who doesn’t want to, lookin’ at you BDSM), then let people enjoy things.

Side note: It’s hilarious how for years people were cheering on Captain Kirk for banging green alien chicks, but cat ears and a tail is a no-go. Cross-species stuff is cool so long as they’re from another planet? What if it was planet Yiff? On the topic of aliens, do we even know if Superman has a human-like penis? Maybe Kryptonians bust onto egg clutches, who’s to say?

Anywho, people are silly and really like policing other people’s likes.

Eh, I say let the furries have their fun. Like, they’re going to do stuff like this anyway. Might as well sell it to them.

What do you want to say/see that you cannot? Which rule is rustling your jimmies the most?

Wow, I figured we didn’t have laws like that here. A few years ago we had a bunch of honkies drive on down to Ottawa. They had a website with their plans, and they literally said they were going there to overthrow the government.

They got some house arrest

I don’t have kids, so I don’t really have a dog in this fight. I think it’s reasonable to feel weird about someone doing something you’re not used to. So long as they’re happy, nobody is getting hurt, and nobody is a jerk about it, everything should be fine. Like, if both guys know about one another then cool, if she’s two-timing both then maybe a discussion needs to be had.

Bit of a tangent: It’s weird to me how against things like polyamory or swinging North American society seems to be. I’ve seen people talk about cheating with less confusion and apprehension. Is it so alien that more than two people can consensually enjoy each other’s company? Archie comics have been a staple here for years, and those crazy kids are deffo in a proto-polycule.

You are right! The funny thing is I was trying to think of it that way and got it backwards anyway. Not enough mental RAM left after work for that kind of thing, apparently.

Unsolicited formatting help

If you want to see the arrows and not format as a quote throw some backslashes in front of the less greater than signs.

Otherwise, if you want to get rid of the gaps between the quote lines then put less greater than signs on the empty lines.

Nor to Alberta 😔

Are there no 12’ skellingtons in the states? My town is filthy with them. I’ve never felt so safe as I do right now with all these gigantic bone daddies.

Wait… How are you splicing the wires? Crimped butt splices?

Maybe you can get your hands on cold shrink tubing? It’s a rubbery tube stretched over a plastic frame thingy. You pull the frame out and the rubber shrinks down. No heat needed.

Yeah, that’s my thinking too. English, and language in general, is very fluid. Different regions will have different colloquialisms, and even different dialects of the same language. So long as we all understand what is meant does it really matter all that much how it was said?

But “Coffee fourth”/“fourth coffee” and “23rd July”/“July 23rd” are different things. I don’t think it’s a good comparison.

With the coffees you are counting how many you’ve had. The thing being counted is explicitly stated in the phrase.

With dates, you are not counting the number of July’s. This isn’t my 23rd July, but the 23rd day of this July. The thing being counted is only implied by colloquial understanding.

So yes, “coffee fourth” doesn’t work, but that doesn’t have much bearing on how to say a date in my opinion

They could be from Canada too. We’re in that fun zone of being mostly Oxford/metric/DMY, but due to proximity and history we still use a lot of Webster/imperial/MDY. My dad is from the past so he speaks in Fahrenheit but calls it “English”. Send help.

However, saying “July 23rd” feels more natural and efficient to me than “The 23rd of July”. That translates to me writing 07/23 over 23/07. To each their own though, I’m not gonna harsh any mellows over date formatting.

There’s a Cypher System RPG called Old Gods of Appalachia that’s pretty neat too.

I said a “100% anti-car extremist”, as in someone who doesn’t want any cars. I was raised in a very rural town. There aren’t currently many viable non-car solutions to get to the “big city” where I currently live. How, without cars, would I currently be able to visit my family?

I am not disputing the negative impacts of cars. I am not your enemy, and you do not need to fight with me.
