being a grass.

What's that?

And I suppose at the right age it can have a positive outcome. I think in middle school or high school you'd get a different outcome.

Squealer, fink, snitch, tattler, stoolie, narc, rat, etc.

edit: CURSE YOU!

I had friends whose parents believed in "equal punishment".

When one did something bad, no matter what the other did, they would both be punished equally.

I hear that's also popular with prison wardens.

God dammit, I swear someone scotchguarded the cat.

Caught her on the dining room table, so I pinned her down on it, and poured a half cup of water on her.

Water just rolled off her fur onto the table like she was a duck, and she didn't give a single fuck.

Still looks fluffy and dry, and acts like nothing happened.

Victim blaming is a real thing. But men get that card played against them as well.

Went with a friend to the public library the other day, he suggested bringing my new laptop, I said I didn't want to risk it getting lost or stolen.

While we were there, a (literally) retarded woman made a huge scene for about an hour, screaming like a 4 year old because her Kindle got stolen, eventually mall cops took her away for disturbing the other patrons...

My thoughts (which is the point of this anecdote) were between satisfaction that I had made a good decision myself, and thinking she made the mistake of leaving expensive property unattended, and the thought of the possibility that she might not have had a Kindle in the first place, but was trying to get someone to buy her one out of pity/scam, annoyance at the disturbance she was making, and very little pity.

In an ideal world, she should have been able to leave her valuables unattended for a moment. But this is the real world.

General Discussion / Should women be afraid?
« on: May 30, 2014, 02:44:47 am »
Almost made a new topic, but thought it might fit here...

with the #YesAllWomen, etc. going on, I see a LOT of women saying that they shouldn't have to be afraid to walk down the street, parking lot, elevator, etc. they talk about needing pepperspray, keys clenched in hand, self-defense classes, etc.

What I wonder, is, should they actually be afraid? looking at government statistics (lies, damned lies...) Men are twice as likely to get assaulted by strangers as women... so why are Women so afraid? Is it because other people tell they should be, or because of actual high risk? Or are women only assaulted less because they are so careful?

I'm wondering how much of it is sensible precautions vs viral scaremongering; just like most child kidnapping are by someone the child knows, but all the talk is about 'Strangers!'

I had read a lot of Cards books, and one thing that stuck out to me, is how often the young male protagonists naked body is described pretty early in each series. Outdoor showers, sleeping naked, naked fighting...

It is military, right? Aren't things like communal showers and such, common in military? I don't think there was too much nakedness or something in the book, or at least it didn't strike me as weird.

Frankly, in my country you can easily find small children playing naked at pools in summer and no one bats an eyelid. So maybe it is some kind of prudishness.

My understanding is, if the book you have is the 'Authors Definitive Edition' some of the awkward stuff was quietly edited out. I've been trying to find an original edition to compare for some time.

I programmed a robot with real emotions, but I only got to fear, sadness, guilt and self loathing before I got bored with it.

It's spent the last 2 years alone in the back of my closet, trying to cut itself, but it's made of metal.

What? I was only commenting that your sigs said hello to each other, and I only just noticed.

I wasn't insinuating anything else.
NO! You weren't! We're totally not in a relationship! :P
Nope. Not at all. Non. :P

Also it's not my boner hurting and it's more like me squirming with lust.
