Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
In your [chat], bitches!

Not too bad.
Sounds all right to me.
Make me laugh with glee before lightning knocks out the power.
I wonder how many times I've used the above asterisked sentence here.
I'm not sure. I will see if I can figure it out while I dream. I'll let you know when I get up tomorrow.
G'night, [Chat].
At least I already know the way to the one I'm going to tonight ololol
There are a ton of poets from Boston, but none of them seemed to have written about the city except for Whitman who wrote about dumb patriotic rituals.
Dude in charge of stamps get bored, vetinari puts him in charge of the banking system. not sure about it yet, but i'm only a few pages in.
And I will rejoice in your fall from grace with a cane to the sky like "None shall pass!"
On the other hand, the overwhelming body of evidence suggests that prostitution is an industry populated by deeply mentally troubled women. This has been my personal experience with the prostitutes I've come into contact with during the stranger paths of my life. (No, I've never been the client of one. I've just known a few.) Whether the mental problems precede the prostitution or vice versa isn't clear, it's probably a vicious cycle, but I can't condone an activity that seems so closely tied to severe addiction and mental illness.
On the first hand, many other sexual activities like homosexuality and BDSM have been tied incorrectly to mental illness over the years, so I'm hesitant to use that as an argument.
On the second hand yet again, prostitution seems so closely tied to emotional abuse, and emotional abuse victims can engage in behaviors that appear consensual but really are not (like staying with an abusive spouse despite community-instituted escape routes), so I'm just as hesitant to call prostitution "consensual."
It's a conundrum. Really, I think the ideal situation is for prostitution to stay illegal, but a misdemeanor. Just enough to get the prostitutes into custody and into drug rehab where appropriate; and also to get them to snitch on their pimps, dealers, abusive spouses, and other general slimeballs that might be perpetuating their unhealthy cycles.
Maybe I should be posting this in the thread.
You know it does occur to me that this is a position I like better then legalization.
I can finally watch them on my tv again.
After I buy a new TV.
Which is after I buy a new sound system.
Which is after I buy a shoji screen to hide my cat's litter box since my new bathroom doesn't have a good space for it.
Which is after I stop being broke.
Which is hopefully soon.
But that's still a lot of conditions.
Also, for some reason, I want a bunch of 60s/70s psychadelic sound equipment. Not really for any musical purpose, I just want to make and record weird noises.
video game love.
sad, I know, but after multiple dvd players broke on me, and then my ps2 died, I figured I wouldn't be watching dvd on my tv for a while, not til I got a dedicated dvd player, which wasn't going to be until after I got a nice TV for my room. instead I get it early as a bonus with this video game system.
my original xbox couldn't play them so I didn't assume this would. and I get to download free demos in the mean time.
and maybe eat some cereal. but that's neither here nor there.
He's a CS professor at CMU who is terminally ill and he recently gave his last lecture. Worth watching.

took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like rootbeer
Somewhat sad to say, my PS2 sees more use as a DVD player than as a game system.
So my roommate bought 2 fucking 6 packs of Harpoon Raspberry Hefeweizen... I would have preferred 2 different six packs, but this was on sale for the day, so whatever. I like the stuff. It's pretty damn good. But it's a lot. I'm gonna need to share with some people.
Where can I get a good beer glass close to here for cheap?
so did mine. lasted about 5 years I think, but I always had it on and almost always running a dvd. It fought hard at the end.
I plan on getting the slim one day, but no time soon. just figuring, there are some damn fine ps2 games I never got to.
Yeah, and the ones doing the protesting are not necessarily representative of the population. Sure, Margo St. James got into prostitution willingly and with a good understanding of what she got into, but it's a little like a fashion designer in Paris campaigning for "seamstress's rights" against people who want to keep sweatshops illegal.
